259: Chapter 259 Two-way journey
Qin Chuan had long wanted to settle scores with this Earth Martial Arts Alliance. This meeting was the perfect opportunity to settle the old accounts.
Moreover, he dared to conclude that once he stepped into the territory of the Earth Martial Arts Alliance, they would definitely have some plans targeting him.
"Heh..."
Qin Chuan laughed.
This was a mutual approach.
Ye Nantian remained silent, not daring to speak, because he could feel the killing intent on Qin Chuan the moment he handed over this invitation.
But this killing intent quickly vanished, replaced by a laugh.
It felt disdainful, and also cold...
The next few days.
The Martial Arts World was still abuzz with Qin Chuan's deeds. Some people listed out everyone he had killed since his sudden appearance, only to discover that half of the entire Martial Arts World had already died at his hands.
Elder Yinshan and Huyan Jue of the Witchcraft Path.
Former Land Immortal Xiao Jinhe.
The Zhongzhou Xu Family, the Zhou Family, and the Ghost Sect.
The Haizhou Huang Family and the Tang Family.
The Canglong Sacred Land, the Wei Family, and the Kunlun Holy Land.
Five-Star General Cao Ting.
Suppressed the Tianshu Holy Land!
Killed Ye Kunlun, Gu Xuanming, Xiao Huohuo, and Gu Yinshan!
As well as countless other large and small families.
This was half of the Martial Arts World.
Perhaps even more!
He killed until the Martial Arts World was terrified, and countless people were terrified.
No one dared to provoke Qin Chuan again; this was a terrifying existence who would truly exterminate an entire Family at the slightest disagreement.
...
Qin Chuan stepped out of Yunding Villa and walked down the mountain step by step.
For the past few days, he had been researching the Mortal World Tribulation.
However, he had no leads whatsoever.
Just as he walked to the foot of Yunding Mountain, he happened to run into someone he hadn't seen in a while.
Shen Wangshu.
"Qin... Qin Chuan!"
Shen Wangshu was clearly stunned when she saw Qin Chuan, because Qin Chuan still had long hair; while looking handsome, he also possessed an air of an immortal.
"Are you here to find me?"
Qin Chuan looked at her and asked indifferently.
Shen Wangshu gathered her thoughts and nodded: "Yeah, I heard you were back, so I came to see you. Actually... my mom also wants you to come to my house for the New Year."
New Year?
Qin Chuan then remembered that during his two months in Hong Kong, the New Year had actually passed, and it was now after the New Year.
"Alright."
The Shen Family residence hadn't changed much, though the couplets at the entrance had been replaced with new ones.
"Xiao Chuan?"
Aunt Meng was somewhat surprised to see Qin Chuan: "You child, I haven't seen you for several months. Where have you been all this time?"
Ordinary people naturally did not know about the events that occurred in the Martial Arts World.
Unless they had some connections and specifically inquired about news from the Martial Arts World, but most of the news gathered that way was just hearsay and not necessarily true.
"I went to my grandfather's place." Qin Chuan did not hide it.
"I see." Aunt Meng then remembered that Qin Chuan also had a grandfather in Hong Kong.
"Come inside. Your Uncle Shen is entertaining an important guest, so you go to Wangshu's room first."
She was only offering a suggestion; she thought her daughter most likely wouldn't agree, so she planned to do some mental preparation for her daughter.
Unexpectedly, her daughter agreed immediately.
"Alright, then let's go to my room first."
Afterwards, Qin Chuan followed Shen Wangshu to her room. Passing through the living room, he saw the important guest that Shen Shihua was entertaining.
It was a middle-aged man who looked quite extraordinary, with a younger man beside him.
Qin Chuan glanced at them, withdrew his gaze, and then entered Shen Wangshu's room.
The Shen Family was quite well-off, so the room was naturally not small. Upon entering, he smelled a very pleasant scent, which was similar to the scent on Shen Wangshu.
"I'm sorry, my parents don't know your true identity yet." Shen Wangshu said apologetically.
"It's fine." Qin Chuan naturally wouldn't care about that.
In the living room.
"Uncle Shen, who was that young man just now?" The young man felt somewhat displeased seeing Qin Chuan and Shen Wangshu enter the room together.
It was easy for people to think he was Shen Wangshu's boyfriend.
He was a bit curious; based on his understanding of Shen Wangshu, she had very high standards. Could it be that the young man just now had some heaven-defying background?
Shen Shihua said very casually: "Just a friend's child, but his Family has fallen on hard times. Our two families are considered Family friends, so naturally, I have to look after him a bit."
"I see." The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Director He, with you presiding over my Shen Family's annual meeting, this annual meeting of ours will definitely be a complete success!" Shen Shihua was also planning to hold an annual meeting after the New Year.
All large families were like this.
However, Shen Shihua didn't have much confidence; in previous years, they could only hold small events, just treating it as a Family gathering.
But recently, they had been cooperating with the Wanlong Group, and this Director He before him was the chairman of the Wanlong Group, He Long!
The young man was his son, He Rui.
"Rest assured, since I promised to attend your Shen Family's annual meeting, I naturally won't go back on my word." He Long nodded slightly.
In the evening.
Shen Shihua naturally invited He Long to eat at his home.
At the dining table.
Except for Shen Wangshu and Aunt Meng, Qin Chuan seemed to be left on the side.
For Shen Shihua, the important guest in his eyes was naturally He Long. As for Qin Chuan, he was no different from a child.
He even found him a bit annoying.
"Young Miss Shen, I heard that you and this person named Qin Chuan are from the same university?" He Rui took the initiative to chat with Shen Wangshu.
It seemed casual, but it was actually intentional.
Since He Rui knew that Qin Chuan and Shen Wangshu were from the same university, it meant he also knew that Qin Chuan was from the Business School.
As everyone knew, the Business School was just a place you could enter by paying money.
Since He Rui took the initiative to chat about this topic, his purpose was self-evident.
Of course, he had also asked about these things from Shen Shihua.
"Yes, we are from the same university."
Towards He Rui, Shen Wangshu was naturally still polite.
If it were in the past, she would have felt that a Young Master like He Rui could be considered top-tier.
The Wanlong Group had a market valuation of several hundred billion!
But now that she had witnessed Qin Chuan, who stood at the Peak of the Martial Arts World and held the power of life and death, someone like He Rui was unbearable to look at.
"He seems to just be from the Business School. I've heard a bit about this school; you can just pay money to get in. I wonder if that's true?" He Rui acted as if he didn't know much.
Shen Wangshu frowned slightly.
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
"Eat, eat. The Business School is also quite good; after all, it is still Jinling University." Aunt Meng took the initiative to ease the awkwardness.
Qin Chuan, however, was eating calmly. In his eyes, He Rui was nothing but an ant; why should he care about what an ant said?
If he wasn't happy, he could just crush him to death with a wave of his hand.
"Aunt Meng, I heard you are going to hold an annual meeting?" Qin Chuan was actually more concerned about another matter.
"Yes, actually we hold it every year, just to have everyone get together." Aunt Meng said.
"This year is different. With Director He presiding, our Shen Family's annual meeting will definitely attract many prominent families in Jinling." Shen Shihua was very much looking forward to this.
He Long and He Rui both had a hint of superiority and arrogance on their faces.
Qin Chuan smiled.
"Aunt Meng, do you want me to call over half of the entire Dragon Kingdom for you?"
