After a long while, Chen Biling left.
After Qin Zi watched the proud figure disappear, he slowly came back to his senses and revealed a self-deprecating look.
So he was overthinking things!
It was so awkward.
However, this was also very normal. Which youth didn't want someone to like him and even be willing to take risks for him?
Especially since it was a little beauty!
However, since things weren't quite the same as what he thought, he was too lazy to think about it, and he wouldn't regret it.
His life wasn't a script in the hands of a storyteller. Not every character that appeared could be tied to him for life.
There were thousands of beautiful women in the world, but to him, most of them could only be passers-by, and they wouldn't even know each other.
The person that was suitable for you would only enter your world at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate way.
This was something that couldn't be forced.
To say the least... He was still young now, and he wasn't even 18 yet. So what was he thinking about this for?
If he didn't cultivate properly, he'd probably be directly beaten by his father, and he wouldn't be able to stand up every morning!
"I'd better hurry up and cultivate. In a month's time, I still have an appointment battle with that Gao family's Gao Jianli." Qin Zi thought to himself.
Thinking of Gao Jian Li, he felt a slight toothache.
This fellow was said to be extremely strong. He seemed to have already reached the ninth level of the Origin Core realm, and his swordsmanship was also said to be extremely proficient.
Whereas he was only at the fifth level of the Origin Core realm now.
Although he could challenge people of a higher level, but others could as well. A genius versus a genius, the advantage of one's natural talent would be greatly offset.
In this way, the difference in cultivation was especially obvious, and this caused him to feel great pressure.
The reason why he had gone head to head with Gao Jianli before was to not lose face in front of everyone.
Who was he?
The son of an invincible expert!
Even if he lost face, he couldn't lose his father's face. So, no matter who it was, he just had to fight!
It was really...
Acting cool for a moment, and going to the crematorium afterwards!
...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this month, Qin Chuan's fame quickly spread throughout Minghao City, even to the surrounding areas.
Therefore, within Minghao City, any power that was able to rise to the top would bring gifts to pay him a visit.
It was as if they were worshipping a mountain.
Regarding this, Qin Chuan accepted it calmly.
Don't think anything of it!
He had received many gifts, and he didn't even need to remember who gave it to him, because the other party didn't dare to expect him to return the gift.
This was the face of a Nirvana realm powerhouse!
If you gave it to him, that was your duty.
If you didn't give it to him, that wasn't giving him face!
Although if you didn't give it to him, he wouldn't do anything to you. But since everyone gave it to him, and you didn't give it to him... would you be able to sleep?
Thus...
Qin Chuan sat at home and earned a lot of money, accumulating a decent amount of money.
At the very least, in the future, he would be able to handle some businesses similar to the "Rain Pavilion", and he wouldn't be short of money.
Boys had to be raised in poverty.
It was good for training their willpower.
It meant that the money had to be in the hands of the boy's father. Only then would it be convenient to throw money at him to trip him up and train the boy's willpower...
"Gao Jianli from the Gao family has come to challenge!"
At this moment, a clear voice sounded from outside the courtyard. It was neither servile nor overbearing, and it even carried a hint of sharpness.
"Oh? You're quite bold."
Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows and revealed an interesting smile.
Until today, no one in Minghao City dared to offend him, and this Gao Jianli actually dared to come and accept the challenge.
One had to admit that he was quite bold.
"Little Zi, let's go."
Qin Chuan said to Qin Zi, who had just walked out of the training room.
"Okay."
Qin Zi nodded and followed Qin Chuan outside until they reached the gate of the courtyard.
They saw a plain-looking young man in white standing on the ground in front of the gate. The young man held a sword in his right hand, and his aura was fierce.
It was Gao Jianli!
The street not far away was already full of onlookers. They were all looking forward to it, but they were also very careful.
They were ready to run away at any time.
If Lord Qin Chuan was angry and killed Gao Jianli with one slap, they might also be affected.
"This junior, Gao Jianli, greets senior."
Gao Jianli bowed respectfully when he saw Qin Chuan.
"No need."
Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I'm surprised to see you here today."
He stared into Gao Jianli's eyes and said with a slightly sharp gaze, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Yes, but I have to come."
Gao Jianli said with a firm expression, "I initiated this challenge myself. If I don't dare to accept the challenge, then I won't be able to raise my head in Minghao City from now on.
"As a martial artist, I can't have any flaws in my heart. If I have any flaws in my heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to make any progress in the future.
"Everyone has to pass the hurdle in their heart. Some people have a heart that can tolerate impurities, so they can do shameless things and be calm in their hearts. However, my heart can't tolerate impurities.
"So... I'm here!"
He raised his head, and a strong fighting spirit shot out from his eyes. It was like a long sword, revealing its sharpness.
Qin Chuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Qin Zi beside him and said, "Go. Fight with all your strength."
"Yes."
Qin Zi nodded and walked forward. With every step he took, the aura on his body increased by a notch.
"Crash!"
The aura around him continued to grow. It was as if a storm was crashing on the shore.
"Come!"
Gao Jianli held his sword in his right hand and ran towards Qin Zi. His speed became faster and faster until he seemed to turn into a white light.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, the two of them collided. The huge tremors caused the dust on the ground to rise up and spread in all directions.
The dust billowed and covered the sky.
The people around couldn't see the battle clearly. They could only see two rays of light flashing and colliding amidst the dust!
"Bang Bang Bang!"
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
"Boom!"
The battle between the two of them was very intense. The ground shook continuously. There were even shocking cracks that spread on the brick ground.
"Boom --"
After a long while, there was another loud sound. It was like the light of dawn that tore through the darkness, sweeping away all the smoke and dust.
"Ah!"
"My eyes!"
The surrounding people only felt a large amount of smoke and dust pierce into their eyes, causing a commotion.
In the battle area, the smoke and dust had completely disappeared, revealing two figures with their backs facing each other.
Time seemed to have stopped.
"Pu!"
Finally, the figure holding the sword spat out a mouthful of blood. His body slowly collapsed, his right hand holding the sword as he knelt on one knee.
"I... lost..."
Gao Jianli said in a hoarse voice. His expression seemed to be self-deprecating, but also somewhat lonely.
"It was really the people from the Gao family who provoked me first."
Qin Zi said.
"I know..."
Gao Jianli sighed, then slowly stood up, dragging his long sword and walking into the distance.
His arm torn open, and blood seeped out, then flowed down the hilt of the sword. Wherever the tip of the sword passed, red plums blossomed...
"This..."
"Gao Jianli, one of the four great young masters, lost just like that? It's somewhat inconceivable."
"Yeah, I also think it's unbelievable. But after thinking about it, there's nothing strange about it. Qin Zi is the son of a Nirvana realm warrior!"
"Yeah, although the Gao family is a top family in Minghao City, it's still a little weaker than a Nirvana realm warrior."
"It seems that the rumor before is most likely true. This Qin Zi's talent has already surpassed the four great young masters."
The surrounding people discussed animatedly.
These people usually wouldn't pursue the truth. They liked to follow other people's words, because this way, they would be able to keep up with the majority of the people without using their brains.
"How is it?"
Qin Chuan looked at his cheap son.
"He's very strong, but... I'm stronger!"
Qin Zi said excitedly, as if he was taking credit.
"Is that so?"
Qin Chuan looked at him with a half-smile. Then, without explaining anything, he walked into the house.
It was better to let the old man in the ring do the explanation and scientific breakdown. If he did it, it would damage the image of an invincible expert.
...
In the distance, on a quiet street.
Gao Jianli was dragging his sword as he slowly walked. His footsteps were staggering, and the tip of the sword was still dripping blood, leaving a bloody line on the ground.
"Young master, how could you lose? You were clearly already..."
A figure dashed out from the alley next to him, as if he had followed him all the way and finally could not hold it in anymore.
Gao Jianli turned to look at him, and a bitter smile appeared on his ordinary face. "Do you think... that I dare to win?"
"AH??"
That person was stunned.
"I told that Qin Zi before that if he refused to lower his head when he was weak, it would be his original sin. This sentence is correct."
Gao Jianli's expression was a little complicated, then he shook his head and smiled. His smile was somewhat bitter and free.
"Now... It's my turn to bow down."
