Chapter 24: The Correct Way To Interpret Early Qin Slips
Wu Yin had a strikingly lovely face. Her casual sweater, though slightly loose, could not hide her alluring curves. She was not wearing clothes that were hugging her form tightly like the last ti they t. Without uttering a word, she cast a cool glance at Wang Xuan, then turned her attention to the bustling crowd on the bar street. She was able to remain composed this ti.
The two won beside her were studying Wang Xuan. At this age, youth was their greatest asset. Both had fair skin and shapely figures, radiating vibrant energy. Their surprise was evident. Is he not afraid of being beaten up by Zhou Yun? They thought.
One of them sported short hair. Unbothered by the autumn chill, she wore a skirt that showcased her snow-white legs. The other woman had slightly wavy long hair and sensual crimson lips. Under the streetlights' glow, she gave off a captivating allure that caught the attention of passersby.
"Wang Xuan, did you have gunpowder for breakfast today?" Zhou Ting stepped in to defend her brother. She was cautious. Her gaze was fixed on Wang Xuan and her brother. She was afraid that her brother might be provoked. He might have ended up being beaten up by Wang Xuan again.
"Well, well, aren't you Wang Xuan?" The woman with slightly wavy long hair, her figure graceful, took a step forward. Curiously arching one of her eyebrows, she approached with a smile. As she drew closer, her red lips grew even more appealing. She introduced herself, "Let's get acquainted. I'm Li Qingxuan."
"Qingxuan, don't go too far!" Wu Yin interjected. She knew that Li Qingxuan had a longstanding feud with Ling Wei. This was clearly an attempt to stir up trouble.
Wang Xuan nodded at Li Qingxuan, effectively excluding her along with Zhou Ting and Zhou Yun as the individuals responsible for his attempted assassination. Two other young n were standing nearby, both composed. Unlike Zhou Yun, they were composed. They stood calmly, watching the scene unfold.
"Wang Xuan, am I getting on your nerves today?" Zhou Yun had to exercise great restraint. Although what Wang Xuan said was true – he had been getting into fights quite frequently lately. Can’t he be a bit more subtle about it in front of others? His heart ached from the provocation.
Wang Xuan said sincerely, "I'm sorry, it's mainly because I ran into soone tonight who was radiating a faint reddish glow all over, he’s quite arrogant... Never mind, I won't say more. I'm not in the best mood tonight. Goodbye."
With that, he turned and walked away. Except for Zhou Yun, the others remained calm and composed, their emotions difficult to tell.
"Heh, you ran into soone with a red glow around them? That's really unlucky." Zhou Yun finally laughed, as if he understood what Wang Xuan had gone through. He was certain that Wang Xuan must have t a formidable practitioner tonight and suffered a defeat. That would explain his irritable mood.
He chuckled lightly and began to indulge in various imaginative scenarios. His spirits were imdiately lifted. In this situation, he displayed a certain magnanimity. He chose not to dwell on Wang Xuan's earlier probing and even offered a bit of advice in good faith.
"Xiao Wang, let
give you so advice – don't cling to old techniques stubbornly. The New Arts is way more advanced than the Old Arts could ever be. Soon, there will be soone who goes beyond the Grandmaster level. It’s a pity you’re stuck in the Old World."
Zhou Yun had a white bandage wrapped around his head, a broken arm encased in a brace and suspended by a sling. Despite this, he exuded an air of unwavering confidence, even using a term of endearnt like "Xiao Wang." Wang Xuan complied as best he could, letting out a sigh to cater to his ego, then turned to leave, no longer willing to tolerate his boastful words.
"Brother, you should be more humble!" Zhou Ting scolded him with a glare. It had only been a few days, yet he had already been in two fights. He seed to have a knack for stirring up trouble, causing unnecessary worry.
Watching Wang Xuan's departing figure, Wu Yin remarked, "This person needs to be careful. Keep an eye on him."
Hearing this, Zhou Yun responded, "Wu Yin, not to criticize, but one should be magnanimous. Didn't he offer you a thorough dical analysis last ti? It wasn't intentional."
Wu Yin felt the urge to rush over and snap his broken arm that was wrapped in a bandage with her high heels. She had kindly given him a warning, only to be criticized for not being magnanimous enough. From her perspective, Wang Xuan had deliberately provoked Zhou Yun earlier, stirring his emotions with his words and then bolstering his superiority complex. It was hard to deny that there might have been a purpose behind his actions, as if he was observing and probing sothing, but the attempt was subtle enough.
Wu Yin was infuriated and thought to herself. What's it to ? Why should I care? I won't remind him again. She was so angry that she ignored Zhou Yun.
"Zhou Yun, what's the deal with Wang Xuan?" Li Qingxuan sweetly smiled, gathering her wavy hair with her delicate fingers. Her srizing eyes slanted charmingly, luring him into conversation.
"You an Little Wang..." While Zhou Yun might be unruly and prone to stirring up trouble, he was not lacking in wits. He had intentionally provoked Wu Yin to rile her up. He harbored great dissatisfaction with the Wu family's forceful involvent in the Qingcheng Mountain affair. It was precisely because they waited for the Wu family to divide the spoils that the Zhou and Ling families had held back from taking action, leading to the eventual disaster.
Li Qingxuan's smile was radiant. "Well then, why don't you tell
more? My family is planning to form an exploration team for that place, and we're looking for so capable individuals."
……
Wu Yin sighed internally. She had initially wanted to remind Zhou Yun that Li Qingxuan was up to no good, but she quickly decided to stay quiet. Out of sight, out of mind. Let them deal with their own ss. It was none of her concern.
...
As soon as Wang Xuan turned and left, his expression imdiately shifted. He began scanning the bar street, observing every passerby. Many people felt a shiver down their spines after being subjected to his gaze. It was as if they had been montarily locked onto by a fierce tiger. This left many of them startled and in fear. Throughout the night, Wang Xuan and Qingmu visited various bars, but they were not able to find the individuals they sought. Clearly, those people had successfully evaded them.
"Don't worry, this matter isn't over. Regardless of who's behind it, we need to escalate it. They’ve crossed a line. We'll report it to the relevant authorities in the Old World," Qingmu spoke up. He inford Wang Xuan to rest early and assured him that he would deliver his gun license tomorrow.
"Worry not, though. They won’t be showing up again so soon. I'll have soone keep an eye out!" Qing Mu patted his shoulder and took his leave.
Although it was getting late, Wang Xuan still made a call to his parents. He felt relief once he confird that everything was fine on their end. He knew these individuals were primarily targeting him. They were aiming to erase his existence.
After returning to his residence, Wang Xuan retrieved the "Golden Body Technique." Tonight, his state of mind was quite unique. This enhanced the study of his bodily technique, leading him to grasp more insights. Within his room, he continuously stretched his body and followed the instructions from the secret manual to begin practicing the "Golden Body Technique."
The night’s incident had left a significant impact on Wang Xuan. In the face of modern weaponry, even seasoned practitioners of the Old Arts were vulnerable. If his reactions had been slightly slower, he could have been shot in the head. Even now, he could feel the cold sensation on his back. A strand of hair was clearly missing from his ear where the bullet had grazed him. The experience had been incredibly livid. He had gained a profound realization that demise could happen in an instant. He was unable to adequately defend himself, and would have been in deep trouble without Qing Mu's intervention.
He needed to beco stronger. His desire to master the "Golden Body Technique" increased as well. He hoped to cultivate a powerful physical body that could withstand bullets. If he had even a modest level of proficiency in the "Golden Body Technique
