48: Chapter 48 Liking Qin Chuan

"I am here to participate in the Underground Fighting Arena," Qin Chuan said nonchalantly.

However, this answer did not satisfy Shen Wangshu, because anyone who could participate in the Underground Fighting Arena had to be a Martial Artist. Furthermore, she had learned from Sheng Wenguang that even to watch the matches, one needed to possess a certain amount of assets, as there was a financial verification upon entry.

What did Qin Chuan have?

He was not a Martial Artist, and the Qin Family's assets were already in the hands of the Song family. It could be said he had nothing. Coming to attend this fighting match, wasn't that just a joke?

Suddenly, Shen Wangshu noticed Su Yingxia, who was somewhat clinging to Qin Chuan, and immediately understood something.

"Participating in the Underground Fighting Arena, huh? It was most likely Yingxia who called him here," Shen Wangshu thought, feeling somewhat helpless. It seemed that Su Yingxia really had taken a liking to Qin Chuan; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought him here.

Qin Chuan did not linger here for long and soon went to his hotel room to rest.

Shen Wangshu pulled Su Yingxia over and asked, "Yingxia, you don't actually like Qin Chuan, do you?"

"Wangshu, what are you talking about?" Su Yingxia's face turned red instantly.

That was it.

Everything was clear now.

Although Shen Wangshu had never been in love, given Su Yingxia's reaction, anyone could tell that this girl liked Qin Chuan.

Wu Rong was livid. He had brought Su Yingxia here, but she had ended up bringing Qin Chuan along as well. What kind of logic was this?

Damn it!

Wu Rong had already decided that he must teach Qin Chuan a harsh lesson today.

Back at the Martial Technique Auction, he had intended to teach Qin Chuan a lesson, but Miss Xiao had protected him. Today, he wanted to see who else could protect him!

"Su Yingxia, how could you like Qin Chuan?" Yang Siyi asked, her face full of confusion.

"I... I don't," Su Yingxia continued to argue desperately.

"Sigh." Shen Wangshu sighed. In truth, if Su Yingxia were still the same as before, she wouldn't have thought much of it—if she liked him, she liked him, it wouldn't be a big problem.

But now, the situation of the Su Family was completely different. Su Yingxia's aunt was a Martial Artist, and with their status rising, she would never allow Su Yingxia to find a commoner.

According to her thoughts, barring any accidents, Su Yingxia would soon begin to Cultivate.

"Yingxia, does your aunt intend for you to Cultivate?" Shen Wangshu asked the question she was more concerned about.

Su Yingxia thought for a moment and said, "She does, but I don't really want to. However, my aunt said that only by mastering martial power can the Su Family grow larger and stronger. I am still considering it."

"You silly girl, what is there to consider? If you can Cultivate, hurry up and do it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Shen Wangshu advised earnestly.

"You even have to consider such a good opportunity?" Yang Siyi also looked incredulous.

Wu Rong raised an eyebrow: "Yingxia, this is indeed a good opportunity. To Cultivate, you must practice a Mind-Cultivation Technique. If your aunt is willing to let you Cultivate, even if your martial Aptitude is average, the chance of becoming a Martial Artist is still very high. Once you become a Martial Artist, your status and position will exceed your imagination."

"But..." Su Yingxia was still very hesitant about this matter.

Shen Wangshu frowned: "Is it because of Qin Chuan?"

Qin Chuan did not know that everyone was still discussing him after he left. He arrived here, sat cross-legged, and Cultivated a little, but the Spiritual Qi on Earth was thin, making this kind of Cultivation appear somewhat strained.

However, he was currently at the Peak of the Tongxuan Realm; as long as there was an opportunity, stepping into the Transcendent Realm would not be a problem at all.

For him, starting his Cultivation over was really not difficult at all.

If Qin Chuan were willing, he could forcibly enter the Transcendent Realm, which would require the assistance of some Medicinal Pills. But since he was starting over, he still hoped to take it one step at a time. Although the speed of Cultivation was slow, the foundation he was building was as solid as a rock.

In this way, he would have a greater chance of success when Undergoing Tribulation later.

As for everything in the secular world, what Qin Chuan cared about most was his younger sister; in his eyes, everyone else was no different from ants.

Of course, Su Yingxia might be a little different.

How could Qin Chuan fail to see Su Yingxia's feelings for him? But as a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Cultivator who had Cultivated immortality for five hundred years, how could he easily develop feelings for some secular girl?

He only hoped now that the Magical Artifact staked this time would not disappoint him.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the hotel.

A man who looked somewhat effeminate was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a goblet of red wine in one hand and embracing a very alluring foreign woman with the other.

The effeminate man's gaze was deep as he stared into the distance outside the window.

"Jack, what are you thinking about?" the foreign woman asked in English.

"I'm thinking about how many fish will take the bait with this Magical Artifact lure I've prepared." Jack withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Jack, if you want to attract Martial Artists to take the bait, then I don't think Jinling is a very good choice. You could go to cities with more Martial Artists; why choose here?" the foreign woman asked with some confusion.

"Ruth, you don't understand." Jack took a sip of red wine, his eyes narrowing slightly: "The Jinling of today is not the same as the Jinling of before."

"How is it different?" Ruth was even more confused.

"The Jinling of today has quite a few Martial Artists." Jack smiled: "And the reason the Alliance asked me to drop this lure in Jinling is mainly for one person."

"Could it be Ye Nantian?" Ruth instinctively thought of the number one Martial Artist in Jinling.

"Him?" Jack shook his head, revealing a look of disdain. "A Martial Artist at the Early Stage of the 7th Realm does not have the qualifications."

If anyone else had heard the conversation between these two, they would probably have been scared weak in the knees, because a 7th Realm Soul Transformation Martial Artist seemed to count for nothing in their eyes.

"Even Ye Nantian doesn't have the qualifications?" Ruth was shocked.

When did a more awesome existence appear in Jinling? She had never heard of it at all.

"This matter has to start from over a month ago."

Jack had absolutely no defenses against Ruth, nor were there any issues regarding trust, so basically, whatever she asked, he would tell her the truth.

"Just over a month ago, the Earth Martial Arts Alliance base launched a nuclear weapon, and its target was this small Jinling."

The Earth Alliance launching a nuclear weapon was no secret. Ruth also knew about this: "But what does this have to do with the lure you dropped? That person from the Dragon who secretly broke through to become a Land Immortal should have already been blown to smithereens, right?"

No matter how powerful an expert on Earth was currently, it was impossible to withstand the power of a nuclear weapon. The Martial Arts Alliance's nuclear missile was precisely targeted; it was impossible to escape. Therefore, Ruth concluded that this Mysterious Expert who had secretly broken through must be dead.

"No..." Jack revealed a wicked smile: "This Mysterious Expert did not die!"
