Chapter 23: Chapter 23: No Respect for Martial Virtues
“Anything goes, are you serious?”
Long Chen regarded Gu Xiao carefully.
Hmm, great figure, high attractiveness!
Gu Xiao halted, then hurriedly said, “Of course, if you have any ssy ideas, that’s definitely not okay.”
“It seems you’re still not confident enough,” Long Chen smiled.
“Who says I’m not confident? Fine, if you can beat , anything goes.”
Gu Xiao gritted her teeth.
She couldn’t believe it. She had practiced martial arts since she was a kid, never missing a day, and still couldn’t defeat Long Chen, this pretty boy.
“Then let’s begin.”
Long Chen said.
“How can we compete in the car? Of course, we need to find a more spacious place. Zhang Ge, go to…”
“No need.” Long Chen interrupted Gu Xiao: “We’ll compete right here in the car. Just attack , if you can hit my face, you win.”
“Heh, I’m afraid it’s too cramped, and I might accidentally kill you if I’m not careful,” Gu Xiao sneered.
“If you can kill , it’d be quite the feat.”
“Then don’t bla
for not being polite.”
Gu Xiao unexpectedly made her move, a barefaced sneak attack.
But Long Chen’s reaction speed was far beyond Gu Xiao’s imagination.
In Long Chen’s eyes, Gu Xiao’s attacks were very, very slow.
He calmly lifted his hand and instantly grabbed Gu Xiao’s wrist.
Gu Xiao froze for a mont, then quickly lifted her other hand, bracing to attack with all her might.
But in that second, Long Chen exerted a little force and easily pulled Gu Xiao into his arms, hugging her tightly.
Gu Xiao’s face turned red with anger; she tried to use her head to strike Long Chen.
Long Chen slightly shifted his body, and Gu Xiao ended up hitting the seat hard.
Hiss.
Gu Xiao inhaled sharply, her head spinning.
“Stop struggling, I’ve already told you, you’re no match for .”
Long Chen laughed.
“Jerk, I won’t lose to you.”
Gu Xiao fiercely lifted her knee, aiming an attack below Long Chen’s belt.
Long Chen’s brows furrowed; this lady was rather vicious.
He hurriedly grabbed Gu Xiao’s hand and abruptly spun her around, neutralizing her attack.
Gu Xiao let out a cry of shock, ending up in a compromising position back in Long Chen’s lap.
Long Chen felt the excellent touch of Gu Xiao’s figure, and his heart fluttered.
Gu Xiao, on the other hand, was furious to the point of wanting to spit blood; she had never suffered such a great loss before.
“Let
go.”
Gu Xiao shouted.
“So you admit defeat?” Long Chen asked.
“I… I didn’t lose, it’s you who’s cheating.”
Gu Xiao said through gritted teeth.
“Oh, then find a way to get free yourself. If you can do that, you win,” Long Chen said indifferently.
“I’m going all out with you.”
Gu Xiao struggled with all her might, fighting with Long Chen, writhing in his embrace.
The driver in front maintained an expressionless face and silently pressed a switch.
Instantly, a curtain slowly fell, separating the front and back seats, blocking the line of sight between them.
Seeing the driver’s small action, Long Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Gu Xiao, stop making a fuss. Look, even your family’s driver is misunderstanding, thinking we’re flirting,”
Long Chen said, laughing.
Gu Xiao turned her head and glimpsed the curtain; her face turned as red as two big apples: “Long Chen, you’re not a man.”
“It was your idea to compete with . Can you bla ? How does that make
not a man?”
Long Chen was caught between laughter and tears.
“You bully won, you’re despicable, and what is this thing? It’s poking .”
Gu Xiao reached out and grabbed at random.
In an instant, Long Chen’s eyes widened.
And Gu Xiao also imdiately realized what she did and scread, but didn’t let go of her hand.
“Shh, be careful, be careful, Gu Xiao, this is seriously not abiding by martial arts ethics.”
Long Chen hurriedly reminded her.
“What if I don’t abide by martial ethics? I’ll cripple you.”
Gu Xiao was freaking out.
“Miss Gu Xiao, I’m a distinguished guest invited by your grandfather. If sothing happens to
on the way, your grandfather’s illness won’t be cured. If his illness isn’t cured, he definitely won’t survive the year.”
Long Chen quickly said.
“Miss, please be cautious,” the driver, Xiao Zhang, also chid in with a reminder.
Gu Xiao clenched her teeth, glared at Long Chen, and with a strong feeling of embarrassnt, she loudly asked, “So you tell , did you lose or did I lose?”
“I lost, you won.”
Long Chen said without hesitation.
“That’s more like it.”
Gu Xiao released Long Chen and sat back in her seat.
Long Chen let out a sigh of relief—it hadn’t crossed his mind that he would be so carelessly caught by this young girl.
For the rest of the journey, Gu Xiao didn’t bring up her distrust for Long Chen or even seem to want to talk to him anymore.
Long Chen was happy for the peace and quietly thought that he should really learn so proper martial arts moves to combine with the mysterious energy inside him, which would probably enable him to unleash significant power.
At least, if he encountered another situation like the one with Gu Xiao, he would be able to suppress her instantly, leaving no chance for her to take advantage of him.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the Gu Mansion.
The Gu Mansion was known in Seven Star City, with a history of sixty years. The surrounding area had gone through two demolitions, but no one dared to touch the Gu Mansion.
Entering the Gu Family’s ho, Long Chen was taken to the living room.
A rich breakfast had already been prepared on the dining table.
“Divine Doctor Long, please take a seat. I intended to pick you up personally, but today I feel too weak, dizzy and blurred vision, so I had my granddaughter Gu Xiao co to fetch you. She didn’t treat you rudely on the way, did she?”
Gu Changming stood up to welco Long Chen and personally pulled out a chair for him.
“Not at all,” Long Chen said with a smile.
“That’s good then, Divine Doctor Long, please, take a seat,” Gu Changming said with a smile.
“Master, the young miss fought with Mr. Long in the car.”
Driver Xiao Zhang suddenly blurted out.
For a mont, the air seed to freeze.
After a while, Gu Changming stared at Gu Xiao seriously and asked, “What happened?”
“Grandfather, I… I was just worried he might be a con artist, so I tested him a bit; there was no other intention.”
Gu Xiao quickly explained, a bit scared, because she had never seen her grandfather so serious.
Gu Changming’s face looked grim: “I’ve really spoiled you.”
As he spoke, Gu Changming raised his hand as if to strike.
Long Chen quickly caught Gu Changming’s hand and said with a smile, “Mr. Gu, Gu Xiao’s testing was because she genuinely cares about your well-being. Her filial piety is comndable. Let’s spare her this once.
Plus, I rather like Gu Xiao’s personality. She’s so beautiful; it’d be a sha if you were to swell her little face with a slap. That wouldn’t look good.”
“Eh, well, in that case, for Divine Doctor Long’s sake, I’ll let it slide this ti,” Gu Changming said.
Then, Gu Changming gave Gu Xiao a stern look and said, “Go invite Mr. Xiao to join us for breakfast.”
“Understood.”
Gu Xiao sulkily hung her head, her face full of gloom.
“Haha, no need to invite, the old chap’s co unbidden.”
An elderly man in a gray robe with a commanding voice strode in.
“Mr. Xiao, let
introduce you; this here is Long Chen, the Divine Doctor.
Divine Doctor Long, this is Mr. Xiao Xingtian from Emperor City. His achievents in all aspects far surpass mine,” Gu Changming introduced with a smile.
“This old man here, always elevating … I… Eh?”
Xiao Xingtian was in the middle of his sentence when his gaze inadvertently fell on Long Chen’s face and he froze, his expression one of utter disbelief.
