Chapter 1521: It’s a Conspiracy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Everything?”

Hearing what Xu Que had said, Xia Luoqing was so angry that he almost punched him.

“Sh*t, he’d offered to make a concession and given Li Yuxi to Xu Que, and Xu Que still didn’t realize what was good for him. Why did this jerk want to keep fighting with him?”

“Everything?”

“What made him think he had the right to say something so rude?”

“That’s right, everything.” Xu Que smiled and nodded in a despicable way. At the same time, he put his arm around Xuanyuan Wanrong’s shoulders, attempting to be as proprietorial as possible.

Xuanyuan Wanrong instinctively raised her eyebrows, and she tried to use her Mind Sense to push Xu Que away. Then she paused... Oh, she’d forgotten; she had no cultivation here.

Never mind.

After Xuanyuan Wanrong had thought about this for a while, she didn’t move away and just let Xu Que leave his arm around her shoulders.

After all, they were in the middle of a relationship tribulations, and it wasn’t the real world. If he wanted to put his arm around her, then so be it.

Standing next to him, Lin Yuxi was startled at the unexpected action. After all, her impression of Xu Que had always been that although he was a bit naughty at times, he was not frivolous.

More important, this Xu Que who was now near her seemed to be slightly different from the Xu Que she was used to. The roguish feeling he was giving off was too strong, and his cutting edge seemed even more blatant than usual. She could vaguely feel a trace of savagery in him.

This kind of savagery that she was sensing was not him just putting on airs, but real lawlessness and cynicism.

“.....” Xia Luoqing sputtered, his heart filling with jealousy and anger.

In his eyes, if Xu Que had even had the intention to take this woman to a hotel, it could be considered a taint on her forever. And now, Xu Que had dared to put his arm around Xuanyuan Wanrong’s shoulders. More important, Xuanyuan Wanrong had seemed to be all right with it.

This was outrageous and unreasonable.

“You...” Xia Luoqing immediately lowered his voice, as if trying to give Xu Que a warning. But before he could say anything consequential, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Xia Luoqing frowned, took out his cell phone, and glanced at it. He then looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong, with a gentlemanly smile once again appearing on his face. “Pardon me while I answer the phone.”

After addressing his excuses only to Xuanyuan Wanrong and ignoring Xu Que and Lin Yuxi, he turned around and walked a few steps away, answering the phone.

The caller ID showed that it was Wu Hui who was calling him. He was one of Xia Luoqing’s lackeys at the school. However, compared to his other lackeys, Wu Hui was rather skillful. He had learned Taekwondo and was quite talented. He had won many titles at a young age and become the president of the Taekwondo Club at school.

Normally, when there was a need for any kind of physical activity, Xia Luoqing would let Wu Hui take charge.

When Xu Que had openly challenged Xia Luoqing over Lin Yuxi at school, Xia Luoqing, caring about his image, didn’t make any moves against Xu Que. But then when Xu Que had provoked the Taekwondo Club over the incident with the Wushu Club, Xia Luoqing had finally found the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Therefore, in fact, the Taekwondo Club had been looking for trouble with Xu Que not just because of this matter of saving face after he’d insulted them, but also because Xia Luoqing had been secretly inciting them against Xu Que.

Now, Xia Luoqing was angry at Xu Que again, so when he saw that Wu Hui had called, he chose to answer, hoping to make use of this opportunity to ask Wu Hui to bring his men over and teach Xu Que a lesson in front of Xuanyuan Wanrong and Lin Yuxi.

Afterward, Xia Luoqing could go into action and ask Wu Hui and the others to let Xu Que off on his behalf. As a result, his image and prestige would be polished as a strong man who was also a just man.

“Hello! Young Master Xia!” As soon as the phone was connected, Wu Hui spoke urgently, his voice slightly trembling.

“Xu Que is at the back entrance of the school. Could you immediately bring someone here to take care of him.” Xia Luoqing didn’t care about what had happened to Wu Hui and gave him concise orders.

“What, he is at the back entrance? Young Master Xia, run away quickly! Don’t mess with that guy, he is poisonous...” Wu Hui exclaimed loudly over the phone.

Xia Luoqing couldn’t help but be stunned. “Xu Que is poisonous? What is that supposed to mean?”

Xia Luoqing started to get nervous, and he began trembling. Could it be that this kid had poison on him and wanted to infect him with it?

“Ah? No, he isn’t poisonous like that.” Wu Hui realized that Xia Luoqing had misunderstood him and quickly explained.

“Syphilis?” Xia Luoqing queried.

“Young Master Xia, what I’m trying to tell you is that he is very evil. Just now a whole bunch of us had started to fight with him, and, I don’t know how, but he’d learned how to use the Eighteen Dragon Palms. A dragon rushed out from his palm and drove us all to the ground. We are still waiting for an ambulance to come get the wounded.” Wu Hui explained what had happened to the members of the Taekwondo Club.

Xia Luoqing was instantly confused.

“Eighteen Dragon Palms?”

“One dragon?”

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Sh*t, what the h*ll?

Did Wu Hui think he was a fool?

“Wu Hui, do I need to clean up your mess?” Xia Luoqing asked sullenly in a low voice.

If he hadn’t been afraid of ruining Xuanyuan Wanrong’s impression of him, he would’ve yelled into the phone and asked someone to teach Wu Hui a lesson.

On the other end of the phone, Wu Hui was taken aback and hurriedly explained, “Young Master Xia, what I’ve just told you is true. If you don’t believe me, you can come over here to take a look. Many people saw what happened, but you can rest assured that I have called my contacts for help. Previously, some of the people I’ve met during competitions have been cultivators and are acquainted with some masters. They are real martial arts masters and are completely different from the amateurs of the Wushu Club. As long as you agree, I will definitely invite them to come help us.”

“Eh?” After hearing this, Xia Luoqing frowned, and his expression became serious.

Based on his understanding of Wu Hui, he knew he wouldn’t have the gall to deceive him. Since he was only at the back entrance of the school, he could verify whether this was true or false by entering the school to take a look.

That being said...

Xia Luoqing’s eyes couldn’t help but glance at Xu Que, who wasn’t far away. He was extremely surprised. Could it really be true that this guy had actually learned some secret martial arts? No wonder he was acting so arrogant today.

With Xia Luoqing’s position and status, he’d been exposed to many more events and people than an ordinary person would be, and so he was rather knowledgeable. He clearly knew that martial arts masters existed, but he also knew that those people were very rare and not someone that an ordinary person would normally meet.

Wu Hui actually had contacts in this area. If he made this phone call, he evidently wanted to use the name of the Xia family to invite those people to help.

Then should he agree?

The answer was yes.

The best way to defeat one’s opponent was to let him get his ego all inflated, then hit him hard in the areas where he was most proud and most powerful.

Xu Que, a mediocre student and a would-be school big shot, now had the nerve to be so arrogant in front of him? Oh, he knew nothing about power.

“Okay, you can use my name to invite those people to help us. But let’s not do this at the school. I will take this group somewhere, and I’ll send you the address when we get there. Ask the cultivation masters that you know to please come over. As long as they are willing to help and get rid of Xu Que, I, Xia Luoqing, swear on the name of the Xia family that when I become the master in the future, I will return the favor to them,” Xia Luoqing said coldly.

This was the first time he’d used his position as the young master of the Xia family to ask someone to do him a favor.

In the real world, the first time that Xia Luoqing would ask for a favor to harass Xu Que would be two years later. He would find someone to fake an image of Xu Que cheating and send it to Lin Yuxi. Then he would arrange for an accident to get rid of Xu Que.

But Xu Que had changed the original trajectory when he’d appeared in his world of memory and accelerated the pace of things.

In actuality, this was all more or less related to Xuanyuan Wanrong. After all, she was too charming. So on top of feeling extreme jealousy because of Xu Que’s connection to her, the thought that Xu Que might also have inherited some rare martial arts made Xia Luoqing feel that he had to ruthlessly take action.

.....

Quickly, Xia Luoqing hung up the phone and returned to Xu Que and the others again.

“Schoolmate Xu, coming here at this time, you must have been going for lunch. Just now, I’d invited Lin Yuxi for lunch. Why don’t we all eat together? I know a very famous restaurant with special dishes. I’ll treat you this once. So how about it?”

He still had a gentlemanly smile and was polite and courteous, but there was a slight chill in his imposing manner.

Lin Yuxi might not have felt the chilly change in Xia Luoqing’s manner, but Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong, who’d been in the World of Cultivators for many years, immediately felt a sense of ominous danger.

It was a conspiracy!

Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at each other and then naturally looked away. With this brief eye contact, they both understood that they had better be careful.

COMMENT

But of course, Xuanyuan Wanrong’s conclusion was completely different than Xu Que’s.

Her gaze had been intended to warn Xu Que not to go with Xia Luoqing because there was a conspiracy afoot.

But Xu Que simply didn’t care and instead was overjoyed, replying, “Okay, where should we go to eat?”

Ah, there was a big wave of Acting Tough Points about to be earned.

Whether or not they could survive this relationship tribulations depended upon whether he could accumulate enough Acting Tough Points.

Thinking of this, Xu Que couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
