437 The Cockblocker (1/2)
Crimson Cloud City was no Dragon City.
Murong Tian's five thousand combat power had been sufficient for him to dominate Green Vine City, just as Fan Tong's six thousand permit him to rule over Crimson City.
But to Chen Xiaobei, to rule a mere city was like trying to draw blood from a rock – a complete waste of time.
Still, he was slightly worried about that 'Elder Feng' the crowd kept mentioning. It seems that the old man's combat power would prove to be higher than all the contestants of the martial art competition, and the fact that even the master of Golden Dragon Temple could not vanquish him only adds to his reputation.
Right now, Chen Xiaobei would have a chance to win if he was up against Murong Tian's Shixiong, that giant monk with eight thousand combat power. Murong Tian's Sifu, however, would definitely walk all over Chen Xiaobei. There would always be more powerful individuals than him!
Stepping out of Green Vine City – that tiny speck of a town – Chen Xiaobei's view of the world had immediately expanded. He knew very well that he still had a long way to go; his journey had just begun! And one of his first steps would be to win the Martial Arts Competition and train in the holy place at the Golden Dragon Temple.
”Gentlemen, please enjoy your tea. I shall take my leave.” Chen Xiaobei casted the Jianghu members a brief glance before quickly walking away.
”Motherf*cker! What sort of attitude is that? Come back here!” the Baldy commanded.
Chen Xiaobei played deaf and carried on.
”Brother Fan, are you just letting him walk away like that?” the face of the mustached man darkened.
These Jianghu folks caused so much trouble wherever they went that even municipal officers feared them. That was why for them to be disregarded by Chen Xiaobei was akin to being slapped. Everyone was clearly disgruntled but they could do nothing unless the owner of the house spoke up. It was Fan Tong's mansion after all – they would have already given Chen Xiaobei a good beating anywhere else!
Nonetheless, Fan Tong merely narrowed his eyes and said nonchalantly: ”It's fine. Let him keep his tough guy act for another two days – we'll just beat him up during the martial art competition.
”Good idea! I shall trample his face until he's crippled. It would such fun! Hehe…” Baldy grinned.
Song Qincheng quickly rose from her seat at those words.
”Qincheng, what are you doing?” Fan Tong asked.
”I've no interest in the current conversation. Have fun!” Song Qincheng turned and hurried after Chen.
”Is she angry?” Baldy pursed his lips, ”No way! She's mad us because of that clown?”
”Brother Fan,” the mustache man added gravely. ”I heard some crazy rumors about sister-in-law having an affair… Could she be with that jerk?”
”Never.” Fan Tong said. confidently. ”I have complete faith in our relationship. You don't have to mind such nonsense, Qincheng is merely career-driven.”
In truth, his unwavering confidence was based on Song Qincheng's frequent virginity checkup – which she would undergo tomorrow too. Fan Tong was also certain that a woman who has betrayed him would never dare to return, which in turn meant that he could not even begin to imagine what that was actually happening right then….
”Hmmm…”
