Chapter 0163 – A Shocking Glimpse – Absolute Return

by GreatBrother(위대한 다오 형제)

"You kid! Is it that you want to die?"

Zhao Xin was enraged and raised his hand to hit him, but Jian Wu Ji was not afraid at all.

"In business, it’s all about paying with one hand and delivering with the other."

"You money-grubber!"

Just then, Qin Xia Ling walked over. Zhao Xin hurriedly put down his hands and pretended to help Sword Wuji organize his clothes.

"Our squire friend, what a sight for sore eyes."

"It’s all thanks to Mr. Zhao." Jian Wuji said with a smile.

"Honestly, I’m doing this all for Miss Qin."

"Mr. Zhao is truly magnanimous and admirable." Jian Wuji did not mince words in his praise.

Listening to these words, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Zhao Xin, as if he had opened a Pandora’s Box.

However, now that he had ridden the tiger, he could only continue to act with a stiff upper lip.

"I’ve recently planned to invest a large sum of money in the Martial Arts League ……"

Zhao Xin began to gush about his business plans, but Qin Xia Ling’s gaze was always stuck on Jian Wuji. He was talking and laughing with several upstarts, and one of them, a female warrior, was even amused by him. Seeing this scene, Qin Xia Ling’s fists involuntarily clenched.

Naturally, Zhao Xin noticed her reaction.

He purposely stopped, but Qin Xia Ling was still looking at Jian Wu Ji with unblinking eyes.

Zhao Xin’s face, instantly gloomy.

"Don’t you think it would be a shame to make him a squire?"

"Everyone has their own destiny, don’t they?"

There was a hint of regret in her tone. Zhao Xin was instantly enraged.

"Damned woman! How dare you ignore me?"

The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

He sent a message to the young man who had accosted Qin Xia Ling earlier, "Find an opportunity to compete with him, be ruthless, no need to show mercy!"

The young man who received the order was named Hu Ying.

He was bent on flattering Zhao Xin and using this to elevate his family’s status, so he agreed to Zhao Xin’s request without hesitation.

"I see that you wear a sword on your waist, so you must have practiced martial arts, right?" Hu Ying asked as he walked up to Jian Wuji.

"A little bit."

"How can a guard learn martial arts?"

"My master, a marvelous man."

"Why don’t you show us what that marvelous master of yours has taught you?"

The people around them, too, revealed curious looks.

"This ……" Qin Xia Ling Just wanted to stop it, but she was stopped by Zhao Xin.

" Miss Qin, aren’t you curious? Just how far has this guard friend of yours learned?"

Qin Xia Ling Of course she was curious, but she was more worried about Jian Wuji’s safety.

"I don’t suppose he’ll cross paths with you upstarts?"

"Mr. Hu comes from a famous family, how could he injure a guard?"

"Since that’s the case, let’s make it a point." Jian Wuji said to Hu Ying, "Swords and knives have no eyes, how about we compete in fisticuffs?"

"Yes!"

Hu Ying secretly sneered in his heart, this guy, actually really agreed?

"Then let me see your high level of skill."

"Understood. It’s the first time in all my life that I’ve competed with a guard, it’s really interesting."

Hu Ying relaxed his guard, after all, it would be too humiliating to show caution in the face of a guard.

"Watch the move!"

Hu Ying threw a punch at Jian Wuji, but it was easily dodged by Jian Wuji. His dodging maneuver, which appeared to be wretched, was just right and drew a burst of laughter from the people around him.

Hu Ying threw another punch, and Jian Wuji fell to the ground in a smooth manner, rolling on the ground and dodging his attack once again. Hu Ying pressed step by step, forcing Jian Wu Ji into a corner, he looked around and smiled smugly, "This is really boring ……"

"Look out!"

Just as he was getting carried away, a sudden cry of alarm came from the crowd.

"Bang!"

Jian Wuji punched Hu Ying in the chest, sending him flying out. Hu Ying was caught off guard and took the punch solidly. Even worse, as he fell to the ground, he knocked over a table, and the dishes on the table, happened to spill onto Zhao Xin’s body.

Zhao Xin was already burning with rage, but now he couldn’t bear it any longer and cursed, "Damn it!"

Jian Wuji, on the other hand, rushed to Hu Ying’s side to check his injuries.

"Are you okay? Are there any injuries?"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xin was immediately embarrassed. Everyone didn’t say anything, but their eyes, however, were filled with contempt.

What made him even more annoyed was that Qin Xia Ling didn’t pay any attention to him at all, and her gaze always remained on Jian Wuji.

"Sorry, I got too excited and missed." Jian Wuji said to the people around him.

"You don’t need to apologize, it was his own carelessness." Qin Xia Ling defended him.

The crowd nodded their heads, after all, Hu Ying was indeed gullible, and Jian Wuji’s "sneak attack" could not be considered a foul.

"I have things to do, so I’ll go first. You go too." Qin Xia Ling said to Zhao Xin.

The two left the party side by side, a sound of tables and chairs breaking behind them. Although they didn’t know what had happened, they both knew who had done it.

Walking under the moonlight, Qin Xia Ling was once again worried about Jian Wuji.

"You’ll be in more danger if you do."

"Friend." Jian Wuji suddenly said.

"Huh?" Qin Xia Ling was startled.

"Why are you so surprised? Didn’t we agree to be friends?"

"No …… no."

"My friend, you are the granddaughter of the Martial Arts Alliance, the ‘No. 1 Beauty of Hubei’, and the favorite to win the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’, you should be haughty, elegant, and self-confident, instead of always worrying about others like you are now. "

"Then can you promise that you won’t get killed by that guy? I don’t want to live with guilt for the rest of my life because of you."

"Can."

"Really? How can I trust you?"

"Because we’re friends, and you have to trust your friends."

"You say I should be haughty and graceful, but that’s not the real me. I’m sentimental, indecisive, and prone to regret. I don’t like dealing with other people, so, I don’t know how to forget the hurt. So, don’t you ever do anything like that again that makes me worry."

"Okay, I promise."

Although it sounded a bit unbelievable, she believed in Jian Wuji’s words. She didn’t know why, but she just believed him.

"You also promise me one thing." Jian Wuji said.

"What is it?"

"In the future, if you encounter anything strange or incomprehensible, you must come to me."

With these words, he was not only referring to the matter of the Heavenly Fate Society, he was also reminding her that in the future, the Martial Arts Alliance would also face a huge crisis.

"The Strangest Thing That Ever Happened to Me ……"

She thought for half a second and then suddenly said:

"It’s now!"

Jian Wuji smiled faintly, "Yes, just like now, if you encounter anything strange, you must come to me. Alright, let’s go back."

Looking at Jian Wuji’s distant back, Qin Xia Ling fell into deep thought. Perhaps, just as he said, I should let go of those unnecessary worries.
