218: Chapter 218 Do you like me?

Chen Qingxuan immediately regained his serious demeanor;

He truthfully recounted his interactions with Fu Yue and Fu Tian.

The main point was to reassure Purple Kite that he hadn't had a conflict with Fu Yue, which might affect his future dealings with the Fu Clan.

"How about it, Revered Master? Didn't I say I could handle it?" Chen Qingxuan said with a smug smile.

Purple Kite's face was expressionless, and she suddenly said, "I'm going to tell Qian You and the others."

Chen Qingxuan was slightly taken aback. "Tell them what?"

"What do you think?" Purple Kite snorted, speechless. "Eating from the bowl while looking at the pot."

"No..."

Chen Qingxuan's face darkened;

Facing Purple Kite's disdainful gaze, he naturally understood that she had seen him stop Fu Yue from attacking Fu Tian just now and mistakenly thought he was taking advantage of the situation.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingxuan said meaningfully, "What? Are you watching over a man for your other self?"

"You..."

Purple Kite's willow-like brows instantly furrowed;

But as the words reached her lips, she saw Chen Qingxuan's mischievous smile, and she snorted, swallowing her words.

If she didn't still want Chen Qingxuan to continue participating in the Hundred States Tournament to execute her plan, she would have truly kicked him at this moment.

But unfortunately, now, even if she was displeased with her Rebellious Disciple, she didn't dare to act rashly.

If Chen Qingxuan decided to act shamelessly, she might even have to coax him into executing the plan.

This kind of thing, her Rebellious Disciple was not incapable of doing.

"You're on your own!"

In the end, Purple Kite merely snorted and left.

After she left, Chen Qingxuan shrugged, not taking it to heart.

On the other side.

In the Fu Clan's territory.

Fu Tian was hung up, crying out, "Dad, stop hitting me... I didn't take advantage of her... He's the one who injured me... I didn't even touch him."

"More trouble than you're worth." Clan Leader frowned and reprimanded, "If I find you bothering him again, next time... I'll let you taste the Nine Lightning Whip."

"?!"

Fu Tian looked as if he was doubting his life;

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he was truly his father's biological son, to actually use such a destructive Magical Artifact on him?

If not for the striking resemblance between father and son, Fu Tian would truly suspect he was adopted.

The next moment, he looked up at his father, "Dad, did you listen to me? I said he hugged my sister... hugged your precious daughter, hugged the person the Fu Clan has the highest hopes for!"

“...”

Clan Leader's expression changed;

After staring at his rebellious son for two seconds, he finally lowered his voice, "What did Yueer say?"

"She didn't react at all." Fu Tian immediately said, "She even told me to scram. They've probably progressed faster than we imagined, Dad. We can't turn a blind eye. My sister is the successor carefully cultivated by the Fu Clan, she can't be taken by some scoundrel of unknown origin... Huh? Why are you taking out the Nine Lightning Whip?"

Fu Tian's eyes widened.

Clan Leader's gaze was firm: "Tian'er, it seems you still haven't listened to your father's words. You shouldn't get involved in anything related to Chen Qingxuan."

"Dad, wait... No, Dad... It hurts... Dad, be gentle."

The next day.

Fu Yue came to find Chen Qingxuan again.

Mainly to apologize to Chen Qingxuan for yesterday's incident.

Although she still couldn't remember Chen Qingxuan, her father's instruction to get along well with Chen Qingxuan made her put aside her suspicions about him.

"Xiao Tian is still young, and I won't hold it against him." Chen Qingxuan said calmly, "But I'm a little worried that he might have said something carelessly after going back, causing you trouble? Or... creating some misunderstanding?"

"Hmm?"

Fu Yue's gaze flickered for a moment;

Meeting Chen Qingxuan's curious gaze, she bit her lip, a little shyly, "What kind of misunderstanding are you talking about?"

"It's... you know."

"I don't know."

Fu Yue uncharacteristically showed a hint of playfulness, but she didn't dare to look directly into Chen Qingxuan's eyes. "What exactly do you mean? There are no outsiders here, you can be straightforward."

"Cough!"

Chen Qingxuan rubbed his nose.

He wasn't a fool; in this situation, how could he not see the change in Fu Yue's attitude from before?

Could he really be that charming?

Chen Qingxuan couldn't help but straighten his back. "Xiao Yue, have you fallen for me?"

"Ah?"

Fu Yue was instantly struck by lightning;

Although she did inexplicably develop some good feelings for Chen Qingxuan, she had deliberately pretended not to understand the question just now.

But she hadn't expected... Chen Qingxuan to be so blunt.

In an instant, Fu Yue's delicate and pretty face rapidly flushed with an uncontrollable blush.

Although Chen Qingxuan held a very special place in her heart now, for a pure woman who hadn't had much contact with men for hundreds of years;

Such blunt words... still made it difficult for her to resist.

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense... I'm leaving."

And so, Fu Yue instantly forgot what she was about to say and fled as if escaping.

"Hey..."

Chen Qingxuan still wanted to stop her;

However, Fu Yue's departure was resolute, or rather, more like a panicked escape.

She gave Chen Qingxuan no chance to keep her.

"Good heavens."

Chen Qingxuan scratched his head, a little dumbfounded.

All along, due to his past experiences of being misunderstood by Jiang Susu and Huang Qingxue, he held a skeptical attitude towards women's affections.

If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed it even if he were beaten to death—

One day, a proud daughter of heaven as outstanding as Fu Yue would show such an innocent and naive side in front of him.

After all, as he thought, he hadn't had much contact with her.

The only somewhat special thing... was his rather unrestrained behavior during their first meeting.

Could it be that this type of woman... likes bad men?

Chen Qingxuan stroked his chin.

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day the Hundred States Tournament began.

Due to the Fu Clan's withdrawal midway, many people's expectations were significantly lowered.

But that was only relatively speaking.

After all, it was a grand event for the top hundred Prefectures, and its excitement naturally surpassed other Prefecture martial arts competitions.

However, because of this, many people became even more curious about which force would emerge victorious in this Hundred States Tournament.

Although Chen Qingxuan had gained some prominence before the Hundred States Tournament began, his popularity was still far inferior to that of long-established Geniuses.

After all, those Geniuses were all Prodigies who had proven themselves by stepping on countless other Geniuses from deeply entrenched forces.

Their strength was astonishing throughout the entire Three Thousand Divine Provinces.

Of course, this was for ordinary Cultivators.

For Chen Qingxuan, who already controlled Space Origin and had incense value continuously boosting his strength, they were all nothing to fear, mere foils.

Thus, after ten days of assessment.

Chen Qingxuan had already become the most dazzling new star of this Hundred States Tournament.
