Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Arrogance of Xu Qingfeng_1
Half an hour later, Ning Fan and Xu Qingfeng arrived at the Jin Hao Building, the tallest structure in the heart of River City. They took the elevator up to the rooftop terrace, two hundred ters above ground.
Standing shoulder to shoulder at the edge of the terrace, they looked out into the distance.
"Look, Ning Fan, this is the highest point in all of River City. Standing here, we can see the complete panorama of the city beneath our feet, right?"
Xu Qingfeng pointed to the twinkling lights of River City below and spoke calmly.
"That’s true," Ning Fan nodded.
Xu Qingfeng continued,
"In the city beneath us, many people have never left River City in their entire lives. To them, this building that soars two hundred ters high—the Jin Hao Building—is the tallest in the world."
"They’re unaware that beyond River City, there’s the provincial capital, Jinling, Zhonghai, Dragon City, and countries overseas..."
"Beyond River City, there are skyscrapers far surpassing the Jin Hao Building, with Xia Country’s tallest building exceeding six hundred ters! The Burj Khalifa, the tallest in the world, towers over eight hundred ters, even piercing the clouds!"
"River City is too small, and the tallest building in River City is just an inconsequential short structure to the outside world."
"Even from the top of the tallest building in River City, the view one can see is too limited!"
"That’s why our Xu Family has long taken our core strength and left River City for the provincial capital, where taller buildings offer better vistas!"
Xu Qingfeng paused, then looked aningfully at Ning Fan and said, "Do you understand what I’m trying to say?"
"I don’t understand roundabout talk. Just say what you an directly."
Ning Fan responded indifferently, his face devoid of expression.
"Indeed, I can’t be too subtle when speaking with soone like you," Xu Qingfeng scoffed, lifting his chin slightly with undisguised contempt:
"Ning Fan, you’re like one of those lowly buildings down there, and even in a small city like River City, you can’t reach the top. Your limit is rely to be a relatively tall building in River City."
"So what? Even if you strain yourself to beco the tallest building in River City, you’re still insignificant in the face of the Xu Family."
"In front of you, the Xu Family is like a towering skyscraper that’s out of reach—you can’t even see how high the Xu Family building really is!"
"So, give up on the idea of climbing your way into the Xu Family. Leave my cousin Qiu Li!"
"Granted, you have so dical skills, maybe even so mystical feng shui knowledge, oh, and I almost forgot, you know martial arts; you defeated Qiu Li."
"But these things you possess are trivial before the Xu Family! Do you think you can climb your way into the Xu Family with these things? Impossible!"
"Do you want to truly be Qiu Li’s boyfriend, to beco one of the Xu Family? I’m sorry, you’re not worthy!"
"Now, do you understand what I an?"
Having said that, Xu Qingfeng clasped his hands behind his back, facing the chilly night wind with an air of arrogance.
"How do you know that I’m not worthy of becoming Miss Xu’s boyfriend?"
In the face of the aggressive Xu Qingfeng, Ning Fan remained expressionless and replied calmly.
Xu Qingfeng smiled, "I’ve looked into you."
"You’ve always been a pitiful person at the bottom of society, with an ex-girlfriend, who cuckoled you. That adulterer is called Wang Guanxi, right? Before the Xu Family, he’s just an insect that can be squashed anyti!"
"And yet, your ex-girlfriend Pan Ting abandoned you for such a pathetic worm."
"One can only imagine what sort of person you are."
"As for your sudden possession of so queer abilities recently, you probably think those are your trump cards, right?"
"I don’t want to know how you ca to have these strange powers. I just want to tell you that you are wrong, and ridiculously so!"
"I know you won’t be convinced, but I called you here today to make you concede."
When Xu Qingfeng finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and towards the shadows on the other side of the terrace, he called out, "Gu Lao, co out."
As his words fell, an elderly man slowly erged from the shadows.
"Ning Fan, since you’re skilled in martial arts, let’s have you concede through it," Xu Qingfeng said flatly.
Gu Lao walked up to a spot two ters in front of Ning Fan, ca to a halt, and said slowly, "So you’re Ning Fan, hmm? My surna is Gu. Qiu Li is my unworthy disciple. I heard that you defeated Qiu Li with ease, so I’ve co to learn a thing or two from you."
"So, you are Qiu Li’s master. I’m okay with sparring, but I must declare in advance that I don’t really know martial arts," Ning Fan spoke to Gu Lao.
Xu Qingfeng thought his trump cards were martial arts, dical skills, and geomancy, but in reality, the inheritance in his mind, his cultivation techniques, were his true reliance and trump card!
Martial arts? Ning Fan truthfully didn’t practice them.
But Ning Fan’s cultivation techniques were far beyond martial arts’s scale!
"Speaking of not knowing martial arts now—are you scared? Too bad, it’s too late! Take this strike!"
Gu Lao grunted coldly, his feet moved, and his figure appeared in front of Ning Fan in an instant, launching a palm strike.
Ning Fan gathered Azure Spiritual Energy in his palm and t the attack head-on.
Thud!
There was a muffled sound; Gu Lao stood unflinchingly in his place, whereas Ning Fan was sent back five steps.
