58: Chapter 58 Visit
It was early morning.
Just as Qin Chuan was about to return to his hotel room, he found a graceful girl standing at the door. It was none other than Su Yingxia.
Su Yingxia's beauty was on par with Shen Wangshu's, but compared to Song Yao, she was still a little less striking.
In his five hundred years of Cultivation, Qin Chuan had seen too many beautiful women, especially those female Cultivators, who all possessed a beauty that transcended the mortal world, without a single flaw.
Therefore, beautiful women held no allure for Qin Chuan whatsoever.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Qin Chuan walked over and ruffled her hair.
"Waiting for you."
Su Yingxia lowered her head, her hands clasped behind her waist, and her feet in sneakers aimlessly kicked at something, seemingly at a loss for what to do.
Her appearance perfectly displayed a girl's shyness.
Only then did Qin Chuan remember that after leaving the Underground Fighting Arena, he had said he would find her after finishing his business. It was very late now, and he couldn't possibly go knocking on a girl's door in the middle of the night. He hadn't expected Su Yingxia to be waiting at his own door.
"Come in and sit for a bit." Qin Chuan thought it wasn't appropriate to stand at the door, so he invited her in.
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxia's face grew even redder, and she looked hesitant, but she eventually stepped into the room. Once inside, she realized that Qin Chuan's room was exceptionally luxurious, almost a presidential suite—no, it *was* a presidential suite.
"You wanted to enter the ring today?" Su Yingxia sat on the sofa and, after a moment of hesitation, asked directly.
"Yes." Qin Chuan also sat down, but opposite Su Yingxia. "The wager for the Underground Fighting Arena was a Magical Artifact, and I'm quite interested in it."
"You even know about Magical Artifacts?" Su Yingxia teased with a smile, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a Martial Artist."
"I am not a Martial Artist." Qin Chuan shook his head, because he was a Cultivator, but even if he said such a thing, few would believe it.
"Qin Chuan, I've noticed you're completely different from how you were in high school."
Su Yingxia suddenly looked up, her eyes fixed intently on Qin Chuan. "How should I put it? There haven't been many major changes, but I just feel like you're a different person. Where did you go during those two and a half years you disappeared?"
More than the events at the Underground Fighting Arena today, she was more concerned about where Qin Chuan had been for the past two years.
For someone to change so much in just over two years, it must have been a deeply profound experience.
Qin Chuan was startled, and the five hundred years in the Cultivation World involuntarily resurfaced in his mind, as vivid as if they had happened yesterday.
But soon, he smiled calmly: "Actually..."
Just as he was about to say something, Su Yingxia's phone rang, conveniently interrupting Qin Chuan.
Su Yingxia glanced at Qin Chuan apologetically, then answered the phone. Not long after, she stood up: "Wangshu called me. I'll head back now. Let's chat tomorrow."
After seeing Su Yingxia out of the room, Qin Chuan took out the Magical Artifact he had won today and carefully examined it. This Magical Artifact could only be used a few more times; there were already many cracks on the jade plate. Fortunately, the base was good, and with a little refining, it would still be an extremely powerful Magical Artifact.
After Su Yingxia left Qin Chuan's room, she met Shen Wangshu.
"You went to Qin Chuan's room?" Shen Wangshu frowned.
"Yes, I went in and sat for a bit, and asked him some questions." Su Yingxia didn't hide it.
Shen Wangshu scrutinized Su Yingxia, found nothing unusual, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yingxia, you are destined to become a Martial Artist; you will enter the Martial Arts World in the future."
"I haven't decided yet." Su Yingxia hesitated.
"What's there to think about? It's an opportunity countless people dream of. I wish I had the chance..." Shen Wangshu pulled Su Yingxia back to her room, deciding to give the little girl a good talking-to.
The next day.
Qiao Wei personally came to visit.
Yesterday, after Qin Chuan dealt with so many masters, he didn't disturb him immediately, choosing to come the next day, because only then would there be more time to build a relationship.
"Mr. Qin, I'm truly sorry about yesterday. I thought you were just a profligate young master." Qiao Wei said, feeling a bit ashamed.
He spoke his true thoughts to show Qin Chuan his sincerity.
"It's nothing." Qin Chuan didn't care at all.
"Senior Qin, I apologize for yesterday." Wu Shanming's shoulder was already bandaged, and he bowed apologetically.
Qin Chuan's expression was indifferent, as if he truly hadn't taken it to heart.
However, this indifference made Wu Shanming smile bitterly, as if in the other party's eyes, he was merely an ant.
If it were anyone else, Wu Shanming would certainly not be convinced, but this was Qin Chuan, and he had no choice but to be convinced.
The countless fireballs that erupted yesterday were definitely not Divine Abilities that ordinary Martial Artists could possess.
Within minutes of Qiao Wei's visit, the doorway to the room was already surrounded by many people, including Sheng Wenguang and his daughter.
These wealthy individuals all had one goal: to curry favor with Qin Chuan.
Although they had signed a non-disclosure agreement about yesterday's events and dared not speak carelessly, it didn't mean they couldn't try to get close to Qin Chuan.
If they could get acquainted with such a powerful individual, they could ask for his help if anything were to happen in the future.
Therefore, early in the morning, a long queue had already formed at Qin Chuan's room, stretching all the way to the stairwell.
"What's going on?"
"Is that room for some important figure?"
"Holy moly... they're all important figures!"
...
Some of the people staying on the same floor were startled by the long queue. The queue being long was one thing, but the crucial point was that every person in it was a billionaire.
Su Yingxia and her group also came out of their rooms, though they were on a different floor. But Su Yingxia suggested they go see Qin Chuan, as they were friends after all.
Shen Wangshu glanced at Su Yingxia and sighed helplessly; how could she not know what this little girl was thinking?
She had talked to her for so long last night, and it seemed like she hadn't listened at all.
However, Wu Rong didn't want to see Qin Chuan and left first. He didn't dare to act against Qin Chuan for now, mainly because Ye Nantian was in Hegu County.
So, Shen Wangshu, Yang Siyi, and Su Yingxia all went to the top floor of the hotel, and when they saw Qin Chuan's doorway filled with people, they were all stunned.
"Yingxia, are you sure Qin Chuan is staying in this room?" Shen Wangshu asked, somewhat doubtfully.
Too many important figures were visiting, including Sheng Wenguang and his daughter. There was no way Qin Chuan could have this kind of influence.
Su Yingxia carefully checked the room number and confirmed: "Yes, it's this room."
