46: Chapter 46 is not from the same circle.

Shen Shihua's big client was named Sheng Wenguang, and that sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was his daughter, Sheng Nini.

"Nini, come, sit here by sister." Shen Wangshu greeted her proactively.

Sheng Nini sat down beside Shen Wangshu, then looked Qin Chuan up and down, asking with some curiosity: "Sister Wangshu, what is this big brother's name?"

"Qin Chuan." Seeing that Sheng Nini's attention was entirely on Qin Chuan, Shen Wangshu felt quite helpless.

Because Qin Chuan was indeed quite handsome, he easily attracted the attention of such young girls.

However, as soon as Sheng Nini learned about Qin Chuan's Family background, she immediately lost interest: "Oh, so he's just an ordinary person."

The look of disappointment and disdain on her face was practically written all over it.

Shen Wangshu was not at all surprised by this; in fact, it was within her expectations. Perhaps Qin Chuan was indeed impressive at first glance, but for girls from a certain Family background, once they understood Qin Chuan's background, they would surely lose interest.

This is reality!

Good looks don't put food on the table.

Throughout this meal, Qin Chuan was almost left on the sidelines, while Shen Shihua's Family entertained Sheng Wenguang and his daughter.

"President Sheng, is there any new news in the Martial Arts World lately?" After finishing their business discussion, Shen Shihua finally began to talk about the topic of martial arts.

Shen Wangshu currently had no interest in business matters, but upon hearing the words "Martial Arts," she immediately lifted her head.

"The Martial Arts World hasn't been peaceful lately," Sheng Wenguang said, filled with emotion.

"Why do you say that?" Shen Shihua immediately asked.

"A friend of one of my relatives previously attended the Martial Arts Exchange Conference. It is said that there was an incredibly powerful young man who killed several experts in a row, including even a 6th Realm Super Grandmaster!" Sheng Wenguang said with a serious expression.

Hiss!

Hearing this, everyone in Shen Shihua's Family gasped.

Their Family wanted to get close to the Martial Arts World, so whenever they caught someone with connections, they would ask about things in the Martial Arts World.

Therefore, they were very clear about what the concept of a 6th Realm Martial Artist was.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a 4th Realm Martial Artist was already at the Grandmaster level, capable of establishing their own sect. But now, even a 6th Realm Martial Artist could be killed; one could see just how terrifying this young man was.

Although they still didn't have a concrete concept, they knew how to compare; a 6th Realm Martial Artist was roughly equivalent to a multi-billionaire in the ordinary world.

"Who is that young expert?" Shen Shihua asked calmly.

"I'm not too sure about that," Sheng Wenguang shook his head. "The matter of that Martial Arts Exchange Conference has already been suppressed. It was already quite difficult for me to even get this news."

"President Sheng, if you say this young man killed a 6th Realm Martial Artist, wouldn't his martial arts talent be terrifyingly high?" Shen Shihua continued to ask.

"Needless to say, looking across the entire Dragon country—no, the entire world—you wouldn't find a second such Prodigy."

Sheng Wenguang lowered his voice deliberately at this point: "My relative's friend said that this is very likely some old monster using Possession."

Possession, for ordinary people, only existed in TV dramas; they didn't expect to hear about it in reality.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan just smiled without saying anything. How should one describe this feeling? A group of people acted high and mighty in front of him, yet they were discussing his own legendary exploits.

It felt somewhat comical.

And this expression of his, carrying a trace of disdain and amusement, fell into the eyes of Sheng Nini. Her cute face furrowed in a frown: "What are you smiling at?"

Qin Chuan lifted his head and glanced at her, completely unwilling to engage.

But Sheng Nini was relentless: "Do you think the topic of the Martial Arts World is funny? Or are you saying that you think it's impossible for a young man to kill a 6th Realm expert, that you think my dad is bragging, and that's why you find it funny?"

At this, everyone's gaze turned towards Qin Chuan.

Shen Shihua and Shen Wangshu both frowned slightly.

Sheng Wenguang became somewhat displeased: "Heh, President Shen, this child of your friend seems to be quite disdainful of what I'm talking about."

"President Sheng, the child doesn't know any better; there's no need to lower yourself to his level." Aunt Meng hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

Sheng Wenguang snorted coldly. Naturally, he wouldn't stoop to arguing with Qin Chuan, but because of Qin Chuan, he stopped talking about the Martial Arts World.

This made Shen Shihua and Shen Wangshu extremely unhappy, and they felt some resentment towards Qin Chuan in their hearts.

"Could this guy think that just because he knows Xiao Xueqing, he can look down on everyone else?" Shen Wangshu felt speechless in her heart.

Xiao Xueqing came from a big Family; her status and position were definitely very high. But you are just Qin Chuan; you are not a member of the Xiao Family.

After this meal ended, Aunt Meng pulled Qin Chuan to the side: "Xiao Chuan, I'm really sorry, we have guests at home, so we won't keep you."

"Mm, Aunt Meng, then I will leave first." Qin Chuan didn't mind at all.

Aunt Meng watched Qin Chuan's departing back, feeling a bit of pity in her heart.

"Mom, did you see that? So what if they were childhood sweethearts?" Shen Wangshu's voice rang in her ear. "If you aren't in the same circle, it's hard even to be friends. Look at during dinner; Qin Chuan couldn't even get a word in."

"Yes," Aunt Meng recalled the meal just now. Whether it was business or talking about martial arts, Qin Chuan couldn't insert a single word, and in the end, he almost became a joke.

Actually, when she mentioned them being childhood sweethearts before, she had the intention of trying to set her daughter up with Qin Chuan, but now it seemed she hadn't considered things thoroughly enough.

Sheng Wenguang and his daughter hadn't left yet, and they started drinking tea after the meal.

Now that Qin Chuan had left, Shen Shihua naturally shifted the topic back to martial arts.

"Speaking of martial arts, in a few days there is an Underground Fighting Arena event, and it is said that quite a few Martial Artists are coming to participate." Sheng Wenguang began to chat enthusiastically again.

Actually, many people are like this. When Shen Wangshu talked about martial arts in front of some ordinary friends, she also did so with a sense of showing off and superiority, even though she wasn't a person of the Martial Arts World at all.

Sheng Wenguang was the same now; mentioning things about the Martial Arts World with a mysterious sense of superiority.

"Underground Fighting Arena?" Shen Shihua and Shen Wangshu both perked up their ears.

"Mm, I heard that the organizers have brought out a Magical Artifact as a wager, and the final winner can take this Magical Artifact home."

Sheng Wenguang said this with an arrogant expression on his face: "My friend happens to be going to participate in this Underground Fighting Arena, so I will go along with them and place some bets while I'm at it."

Shen Shihua's Family was incredibly envious. If only they could go too; who wouldn't want to see a Martial Artist's fighting arena?

Shen Wangshu had previously witnessed the terror of Elder Yinshan, so she was even more interested in this Underground Fighting Arena: "Uncle Sheng, can you take me with you?"
