Chapter 184 - You Wont Let Me In? Then Ill Fight My Way In! (1/2)
The flying saucer model supercar slowly descended to a unique little courtyard. Its surroundings were green hills and clear waters, possessing the scenery of the southern rivers.
In the tiny courtyard, a certain feeling of tranquility and of the simple life rose in Qin Fen’s heart.
There was a two-story building, formed of red brick. It was carved into the mythological beast, the Qilin, that could step on the clouds and tread the mist.
This Qilin held its head high, revealing a pair of eyes that looked down on the great earth. It was truly akin to the Imperial power that was paramount in ancient times, overlooking down on the common people.
Qin Fen tilted his head to look at Lin Liqiang. He asked, “Where is Song Jia?”
Lin Liqiang sighed. He raised his chin and pointed at the tiny building of red brick. He said, “She’s inside there. She’s been grounded.”
The windows of the second story facing the gates were slightly open. A face that contained both a smile and teardrops appeared within Qin Fen’s line of sight.
Within the room, Song Jia wore an adorable pink nightgown. There was some grief in that faint smile on her face as she gently waved her arm.
Qin Fen raised a hand to point at Song Jia. Then he placed his hands before his chest, and he slashed down to his stomach. In the end, his hands formed the shape of a heart.
Lin Liqiang chuckled as he watched from the side. Qin Fen, this kid, was even using the sign language he learned back when he worked at a school for the disabled.
“Bro, what did you say in sign language just now?”
“You can be at ease.”
Beep beep….
Qin Fen’s cell phone rang with a text message indication. Song Jia had sent him a text message.
“I’ve troubled you.”
Qin Fen looked with a tranquil smile. People chose their own path, and he naturally chose this one himself. He wouldn’t regret it now that he made his choice.
The two friends walked shoulder to shoulder to arrive at the building of red brick. There was a seventy to eighty-year-old man standing at the entrance. His stature was tall, and his face was so lean that there was practically no flesh.
“Young Master Lin, have you also come to propose marriage to the young lady of our house? If so, you can avoid the first test, and directly entered the building.”
The smile on the old man’s face was very polite and modest. He even bent his back in a slight bow. However, he still carried the air of the butler of an ancient family.
“Grandfather Hou, there are too many people pursuing Jiajia. I don’t want to be trampled to death by a crowd of people.” Lin Liqiang promptly raised his arms and shook them. “I cannot give up the entire ocean for the sake of one drop of water.”
The old man with the last name Hou had faint disappointment flickered in his eyes. He sighed. “Alas, I can only say that there is no faith between you two. To tell the truth, the person that this rotten old man thinks the most of in beating the other candidates is none other than you, Young Master Lin.”
“I’ve made you disappointed.” Lin Liqiang clasped his hands together and stooped into a bow. His attitude was incomparably respectful as he said, “It is this kid’s offense.”
“Ha ha….” The old man with the last name Hou was very calm as he accepted Lin Liqiang’s bow. He placed his attention on Qin Fen. The kind and good-natured light in his eyes instantly turned sinister and terrifying. Such is change could be said to be very bizarre. “Barbaric kid, have you come to participate in the selection process?”
Qin Fen suddenly felt as if he were plunged into an ice bath by the glare from the old man’s eyes. His heart rate almost increased in speed for some inexplicable reason, and the hairs on his back rustled as they stood on end.
“Yes.”
The frigid hairs on Qin Fen’s body quickly calmed down.
The sinister look could no longer be seen on the face of the old man with the last name Hou. His eyes twitched a bit in shock. There was also a faint smile of satisfaction.
“Passable. He really isn’t some pretty boy.” The old man with the last name Hou nodded his head. “All right. You have passed the initial test. You can go in and continue with the tests.”
Only now did Qin Fen realize that this had been a test. When the old man with the last name Hou released his killing intent, he was actually engaging in the testing/selection process.
“Wait a minute.”
A youngster walked out from the building of red brick. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He was one hundred and eighty-three centimeters tall, and he wore casual workout clothes on his body. On his feet were a pair of ordinary traditional Beijing canvas shoes.
“Grandfather Hou, you’re being far too irresponsible, sir.” The young man’s eyes were filled with hostility, never leaving Qin Fen’s body from beginning to end. “We absolutely must not let anyone violate the young lady.”
“Ha ha….” The old man with the last name Hou was not the least bit angry. He smiled, very delightedly, making way to the side. “Wuxian, do you believe that you are being responsible by doing this?”
“If a man truly loves a woman, he wouldn’t come rushing over here at the last second upon obtaining the news.” Wuxian slowly spread his fists up art. “A man shouldn’t wait till the last minute to appear.”
Qin Fen nodded in silence. In regards to his late arrival, he didn’t want to do any explaining. He arrived late, and that was that. Further explanations were incapable of changing the fact that he was late.
“Cheng Wuxian.” Lin Liqiang’s eyebrows shot up. Annoyance appeared on his face. “If you are interested in fighting, I will play with you. My brother has to deal with quite a few physical exhausting things later on. He doesn’t need to make a move to deal with a random fish like you.”
Cheng Wuxian, whose complexion was bad, changed his expression immediately upon hearing Lin Liqiang’s words. He gave him a very respectful bow and said, “Young Master Lin, this kid isn’t a match for you. If you want to take part in the selection process, this kid is willing to be your Vanguard. Ever since I first met you, sir, I’ve always believed that you are the most suited person for the young lady of our family. However….”
Cheng Wuxian looked at Qin Fen once more. He didn’t say anything else this time. He merely gently shook his head, his eyes seeping with an indescribable resolution.
“I will have to fight to get in, right?”
Qin Fen looked at the old man with the last name Hou. If this old man chose to fight as well, his chances of victory were uncertain. So uncertain that there was not too big of a difference from a zero chance of victory.
The old man with the last name Hou laughed. “You have already passed this test of mine. Therefore, you, kid do not need to be worried about me. Focus on dealing with Wuxian. This kid has vowed to protect Jiajia with his life ever since he was young. He really does possess some strength.”
Protecting Song Jia with his life? Qin Fen could feel that the problem was a bit thorny. If Cheng Wuxian was an opponent that had come to fight over Song Jia, then a life or death struggle would not be abnormal.
If the person he was to fight was someone who protected Song Jia, then he would need to focus on propriety.
Xing Wuyi didn’t say anything else. He took out to Yaksha rods, each a foot long, from behind his back. His stance turned into the stance of a Yaksha of a temple slaying demons.
Little Yaksha Rod Technique!
Qin Fen furrowed his brow. This practically unknown rod technique was quite monstrous, and the two rods that his opponent was wielding were even more monstrous. He was able to see that one side of each of the two rods possessed cutting edges that protruded out less than a millimeter!
Though Cheng Wuxian had already concealed things quite well, he was incapable of truly completely concealing the blade-light of this cutting edge. As his strength of a four-star martial artist was unleashed, the cold blade energy of the steel rods caused one’s skin to throb over and over.
“Be careful… don’t hurt him….”
Song Jia’s worried voice came from the second story. Cheng Wuxian’s lips twitched. “Young lady, I’ll do my best not to hurt him….”
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Wuxian’s rights legs, which had been lifted high up, suddenly stomped forward. It was as if a bomb went off on the stone slabs beneath his feet. His body moved forward, as if he were standing on a surfboard on an ocean’s wave. The steel rods in his hands whipped towards Qin Fen’s skull.
