Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wan Qian rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to talk to him.
However, this time, she did not leave like before. Instead, she sat quietly by Fang Yuan’s side and accompanied him.
After spending more time with Fang Yuan, she finally understood.
As long as he was given the slightest chance, this person would demand benefits from you on the basis of reasonable conditions.
It would make you unable to say anything.
But if you gave him something for free, he wouldn’t want it either. It felt quite contradictory.
Although Wan Qian usually didn’t talk much, only in front of Fang Yuan would she often feel that she had nothing to say.
One sentence was enough to make you have no response.
But you just had to do as he said.
Wan Qian sighed lightly and started to think about how much of the things that her family would send her next month should she give Fang Yuan in order to repay the favor.
[Ding, Your Cloud Moon Gu has sensed the delicate fragrance of a virgin and the cold Yin Qi, its cultivation efficiency has increased by 250%!]
Hearing the system notification, Fang Yuan wanted Wan Qian to stay by his side for a little longer, so he naturally did not chase her away, and continued to cultivate with his eyes closed.
After this incident, the nearby disciples’ chattering became much quieter and quieter.
But after a while, Zhang Wenbin returned.
This time, he was the only one who came.
Seeing the two of them sitting side by side, he was extremely jealous.
With a livid expression, he walked closer and threw a token on Fang Yuan’s table.
Wan Qian did not want him to disturb Fang Yuan, so she raised her hand to catch it without making a sound.
Zhang Wenbin was even angrier when he saw it. With a gloomy expression, he said, “Fang Yuan, do you dare to accept my challenge?”
Fang Yuan ignored him.
Wan Qian took a look at the token and explained to Fang Yuan, “This is a challenge token from the sect. It will take effect when blood is dripped on it. It doesn’t involve life and death. It’s just a sparring session.”
“I’m not interested. It’s a waste of time.”
How could Fang Yuan agree to such a boring request? If someone came to him with a token every day in the future, would he still have time to cultivate?
Wan Qian nodded and threw it back to Zhang Wenbin. She said coldly, “You heard it. There’s no need for him to fight you.”
Zhang Wenbin felt a little heartbroken. He almost squeezed out a sentence from his throat. “Wan Qian, I’m deeply in love with you. Why do you have to treat me like this?”
“I don’t have feelings for you.” Wan Qian’s voice did not change. It was still cold and distant.
Zhang Wenbin gritted his teeth, he looked at Fang Yuan with hatred.
“Fang Yuan, how about a life and death battle, I will bet all my assets, do you dare to accept?”
The Gu Immortal Sect did not allow disciples to kill each other, but if there was an irreconcilable conflict, they could fight to the death.
Wan Qian frowned, and she placed her hand on Fang Yuan’s palm.
“Ignore him.”
However, Fang Yuan raised his head, opening his eyes to look at Zhang Wenbin, asking, “Are you rich?”
Zhang Wenbin sneered. “I have more wealth than what your clan can earn in three years.”
“It seems that you know my clan very well.”
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes with the intention to kill.
Zhang Wenbin’s words revealed that he had already investigated his family.
With his small temper, he might take revenge.
His parents did not have much battle strength, and Yu Bing was a support Gu master. Once Shi Hao, who had the strongest battle strength, went out to deliver goods and darts, they would be no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
This person must die!
Zhang Wenbin enunciated each word: “Yunding City’s Fang clan, merchants, everyone knows.”
“Alright, I’ll accept it.”
Fang Yuan had already made up his mind.
Wan Qian looked at him in disbelief. “Are you crazy? He’s already at the third layer of the Enlightenment Realm. How are you going to fight him?”
Fang Yuan did not speak. He could not reveal all his trump cards to others.
When Zhang Wenbin saw that Fang Yuan had agreed, a cruel smile appeared on his face. “Very good. Don’t say that I’m bullying you. Today, one month later, no matter how much you improve, we’ll meet on the Life and Death Arena.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Wan Qian was really angry. She looked at Fang Yuan coldly, as if she wanted him to give her an explanation.
Fang Yuan chuckled. “Senior, why are you still angry? Are you concerned about me?”
“I’m not in the mood to joke.” Wan Qian’s face was as cold as ice.
Fang Yuan shook his head and looked at Zhang Wenbin’s departing back, and he said slowly, “Zhang Wenbin is a person who takes revenge for the smallest grievance. If he can’t get it, then he’ll destroy it. Thinking is a good thing, but it’s a pity that his brain is a little stupid. Doesn’t he understand that even if I die, you still won’t like him? Senior, don’t find such a person as your husband in the future. You’ll be influenced by his brain damage.”
“Do you think he really doesn’t know?”
Wan Qian stared at him and said, “He just wants to get rid of the males around me. As for whether I’ll like him or not, Zhang Wenbin doesn’t care at all. He just wants to get me.”
“Oh, no wonder.” Fang Yuan laughed.
“You still have the mood to laugh?”
“Didn’t he say that he would give me a month’s time and give me a chance to win? Why wouldn’t I laugh?”
“He’s planning to thoroughly investigate you.”
Wan Qian said unhappily, “Don’t look at this person as being impulsive. In fact, he never does anything that he’s not sure of. In the next period of time, he’ll definitely send people to monitor your every move. If you go out, he’ll even send people to test you.”
Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows. “It sounds like you know him very well.”
“Why are you still saying such things at a time like this?”
Wan Qian glared at him, but she still explained, “His family is quite powerful and has some dealings with my family.”
“Senior, did your parents give birth to you as an only child?”
Wan Qian nodded lightly. “Why are you asking this?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just curious.”
Fang Yuan understood everything now.
He originally thought that with Zhang Wenbin’s personality, he would not make such a big deal out of a woman.
Now, it seemed that it was because Wan Qian’s family had business dealings with his family. He might have even proposed marriage, but Wan Qian rejected him.
Zhang Wenbin’s goal in pursuing Wan Qian was to wait for Wan Qian to marry him and bring in the wealth of the Wan clan.
It was said that the son would inherit the father’s business. Wan Qian was the only daughter in the Wan clan, so it was naturally impossible for her to inherit the Wan clan’s business. This heavy burden would definitely be shouldered by the son-in-law.
Zhang Wenbin had his eyes on the position of son-in-law.
That was why he was so desperate to eliminate all the males around Wan Qian.
It was also natural for Fang Yuan to become his target.
Even if he cut off all contact with Wan Qian now, it would still be the same.
With Zhang Wenbin’s vengeful personality, he would definitely send someone to eliminate the root of the problem to get rid of future trouble once and for all.
Now that he was openly issuing a challenge to him, he had instead restricted himself.
However, nothing was absolute. Who knew if Zhang Wenbin would shamelessly send an expert to assassinate Fang Yuan? The outcome would be the same anyway.
He just wanted to achieve his goal.
