2: Chapter 2 What makes him so special?!
Shen Qingyuan was soft-hearted after all.
In order to maintain the facade of "fatherly kindness and filial piety" between the Family Head and his eldest nephew, he had no choice but to put in some effort himself.
It wasn't because he suddenly remembered that he had just given some Medicinal Pills to a few Elders in the clan a few days ago, which had caused those Elders to go into secluded cultivation.
As the graceful dance music ended, Shen Qingyuan rewarded the group with a few Spirit Stones.
Afterward, ignoring the pleas of the women beside him to stay, he walked straight out of the private room.
Yicui Pavilion was bustling with activity. Shen Qingyuan adjusted his sleeves, glanced at the main hall, and stepped over the threshold.
"Stop!"
A voice filled with a hint of provocation came from the side.
Shen Qingyuan did not stop, nor did he even lift an eyelid.
"This Young Master told you to stop. Are you deaf?"
A youth in brocade clothes strode up from the steps, followed by three or five attendants, and blocked Shen Qingyuan's path aggressively.
The youth was about seventeen or eighteen years old and looked decent enough, but his eyes revealed a hint of arrogance, and his gaze towards Shen Qingyuan was filled with undisguised hostility.
Shen Qingyuan finally stopped and glanced at him lazily. "Who are you?"
The youth in brocade clothes stiffened.
He was used to running wild in Guangnan City, and no one had ever dared to ask him that.
"The Wang Family, Wang Teng!"
The youth raised his chin and raised his voice a notch. "Shen Qingyuan, you spend all day at Yicui Pavilion, monopolizing Lian Yue. What is your intention?"
Shen Qingyuan thought about it.
Lian Yue? Was he monopolizing her? Clearly, it was Lian Yue who craved his body!
However, as the top dancer of Yicui Pavilion, Lian Yue was indeed a good dancer.
"So?" Shen Qingyuan's tone was indifferent.
Wang Teng was infuriated by his nonchalant attitude and sneered. "I heard you are the Ninth Elder of the Shen Family? This Young Master wants to see today what kind of ability you, the Ninth Elder of the Shen Family, actually have to make Lian Yue favor you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, spiritual power surged within him, and an Aura belonging to the Peak of the Meridian Opening Realm erupted.
The passersby changed expressions and quickly retreated.
"Peak of the Meridian Opening Realm? This Wang Teng is only seventeen, right?"
"I heard Wang Teng is the most outstanding disciple of the Wang Family in this generation. He truly lives up to his reputation!"
"The Ninth Elder of the Shen Family? Is that the playboy who spends all day soaking in Yicui Pavilion? I heard he's only at the sixth level of the Meridian Opening Realm, right?"
"Now there's a good show to watch."
Whispers arose all around. Hearing these discussions, Wang Teng raised his chin even higher, his gaze toward Shen Qingyuan full of provocation.
Shen Qingyuan glanced at him and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.
Peak of the Meridian Opening Realm.
At this age, it was indeed not bad.
Twenty years ago, when he was just one year old, he might have taken a second look.
But now—a slight movement of the vast, ocean-like Quasi-Emperor power within him would be enough to wipe Wang Teng out.
With his strength, even if he made Wang Teng disappear from the world right in front of everyone, no one would suspect he was the one who did it.
Who told them he was just a mediocre Cultivator of the Meridian Opening Realm who indulged himself in Yicui Pavilion? This was reputation!
"Stop!" A furious shout exploded.
Immediately after, a figure slammed between the two, blocking Wang Teng.
Shen Quan was full of anger, glaring at Wang Teng. "Wang Teng, you are presumptuous!"
Although he couldn't stand Shen Qingyuan spending all day fooling around in Yicui Pavilion, he couldn't just watch as Shen Qingyuan was bullied by an outsider!
After all, he was his Ninth Uncle!
Wang Teng looked at Shen Quan who had rushed out and sneered. "I wondered who it was. So it's you, the loser!"
"Hmph! If it weren't for your underhanded tricks last time, how could you have won against me?" Shen Quan's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with anger.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the spiritual power within him erupted, an Aura belonging to the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm soaring into the sky!
"Wang Teng! Today I will fight you once more!"
Before the words had faded, Shen Quan had already taken a step forward, his fist wind whistling as he struck directly at Wang Teng's face!
This punch was thrown in rage, and its power was astonishing. The fist energy exploded in the air, creating a wave of air that caused the lanterns on the street to sway violently.
"Well come!" Wang Teng sneered, not retreating but advancing, and threw a punch as well!
Bang! The two fists collided, a dull, thunderous sound exploded, and the air wave swept in all directions!
Shen Quan's figure swayed, and he retreated three steps, each step leaving deep cracks in the bluestone pavement.
Wang Teng, however, did not Move an inch, a look of disdain playing on the corners of his mouth.
"With just this, you dare to be presumptuous in front of me?"
Shen Quan gritted his teeth and lunged again!
Fists, palms, legs, elbows—the two instantly engaged in a chaotic fight!
Their Moves were wide and powerful, spiritual power surged, and the surrounding crowd exclaimed repeatedly, retreating one after another for fear of being caught in the crossfire.
"So fast! I can't see anything at all!"
"Shen Quan's boxing technique is fierce and overbearing. Is this the Shen Family's Heaven-Killing Fist?"
"Wang Teng is even more impressive! Look at his movement technique; it's erratic. Shen Quan's fists can't hit him at all!"
"It's over, it's over, Shen Quan is going to lose!"
In the crowd, Shen Qingyuan had retreated to the side of the street at some point, his hands tucked into his sleeves, leaning lazily against a pillar.
He watched the two fighting fiercely in the arena, a flash of insight in his eyes.
"This Wang Teng actually possesses the Crimson Sun Precious Body. No wonder he can suppress Shen Quan in the same Realm."
In the arena, the battle had reached a white-hot stage.
Shen Quan's spiritual power surged throughout his body, every punch hitting flesh, and every Move carried a ruthless determination to perish together.
Yet Wang Teng was like a cat toying with a mouse, always narrowly avoiding his lethal Moves, while occasionally landing a punch or kick, leaving wounds on Shen Quan's body.
"Is this all the ability you have?" Wang Teng mocked as he fought. "With just this, you want to stand up for Shen Qingyuan? Shen Quan, you really bring honor to your Shen Family!"
Shen Quan's eyes turned red, and he roared, putting all his strength into a punch!
Now! A gleam of light flashed in Wang Teng's eyes, his figure suddenly accelerated, appearing instantly at Shen Quan's side, and he struck his back with a palm!
Pfft! Shen Quan spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying sideways, slamming heavily into a street stall, sending wood chips flying.
"Young Master!" Several Shen Family attendants exclaimed and rushed forward to help Shen Quan up.
Shen Quan's face was pale, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth. He struggled to stand up but couldn't muster any strength.
Wang Teng withdrew his palm and stood tall, looking down at him, smiling contemptuously. "A loser is a loser."
"Shen Qingyuan, it's your turn!" Wang Teng raised his chin, his voice full of provocation.
He took a step forward, the Aura of the Peak of the Meridian Opening Realm erupting, and was about to strike!
Just at this moment— "Look! Who is that?" A sudden exclamation erupted from the crowd!
Everyone turned their heads to look at the street corner. A figure in white walked over gracefully.
It was a woman. Her white clothes were whiter than snow, her dark hair flowed like a waterfall, her brows and eyes were as cold as frost, and a faint chill lingered around her, as if a Fairy from the Moon Palace had descended into the mortal world.
Her pace was not fast, but every step seemed to tread upon everyone's hearts, making everyone's spirits tremble.
"Who... who is this?" "What a beautiful woman! I have never seen such a stunner!"
"Wait... she, she seems to be..." Someone widened their eyes, their voice trembling: "Fairy Qingyue! It's Fairy Qingyue who disappeared three years ago!"
Boom! The crowd instantly erupted into an uproar!
"What? Fairy Qingyue? That top Prodigy of the Southern Region?"
"That's impossible! Fairy Qingyue was already a powerhouse of the Huahong Realm three years ago. How could she appear here?"
Once this name was mentioned, everyone gasped.
Fairy Qingyue of the Southern Region, whose real name was Luo Qingyue, had been the top Prodigy of the Southern Region three years ago. At a young age, she had stepped into the Huahong Realm, only one major Realm away from the older generation of Dharma Image Realm powerhouses, and was hailed as a peerless Genius rarely seen in the Southern Region in a thousand years!
But three years ago, she suddenly disappeared and there was no news of her since.
Some said she went into secluded cultivation to break through to a higher Realm, some said she went to the Central Province, and others said she met with misfortune...
No one expected that today, she would actually appear in Guangnan City!
Wang Teng was completely stunned. He watched the white-clad figure slowly approaching, his eyes widening, his breathing becoming rapid.
Fairy Qingyue! It really is Fairy Qingyue!
Three years ago, he had caught a glimpse of her from afar at the Southern Region Prodigy Assembly. That one glimpse had haunted his dreams for three whole years!
He had fantasized countless times about the scene of seeing her again, but he had never imagined it would be tonight, and it would be here!
"Fairy... Fairy Qingyue!" Wang Teng's voice trembled with excitement. He quickly straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and bowed. "I am Wang Teng of the Wang Family of Guangnan City, greetings to Fairy Qingyue!"
His face was full of respect and admiration, and his eyes were flashing with fanatical light.
However—Luo Qingyue didn't even look at him. She walked straight past him without stopping, her gaze passing over the crowd and landing on the lazy figure not far away.
