68: Three-day appointment

In an instant, the entire crowd at the Lost Bar was in an uproar!

People in the underworld generally don't have very good tempers. Now, Xiao Yu was being far too overbearing!

They were like a powder keg. As long as Yan Yu gave the order to light the fuse, a bloody battle could break out at any moment!

Erhu, standing beside Xiao Yu, couldn't help but glance at him and scratch his head, a trace of confusion flashing through his mind.

Didn't he just say he wanted to break the Green Dragon Gang's fighting spirit? Why was he provoking them instead?

Chen Tianming, standing beside Yan Yu, curled the corners of his lips upward. "Interesting!"

"This guy changed his mind after seeing me. I am currently a guest of the Green Dragon Gang. If they attack recklessly, it's tantamount to provoking the Chen family!"

"By provoking them now and waiting for the Green Dragon Gang to strike first, they'll have a justification to take down the Green Dragon Gang in self-defense. This protagonist actually has some brains..."

He glanced at Yan Yu beside him, who was also frowning deeply but remained silent. Clearly, this heroine had also realized the issue.

However, Chen Tianming had no intention of helping Yan Yu. If a fight broke out and Yan Yu was outmatched, he would just step in and crush Xiao Yu. That would count as fulfilling his promise.

Xiao Yu's plan was sound, but the one thing he hadn't considered was that Chen Tianming's strength far exceeded his own!

Even if Chen Tianming didn't actively hide his strength, Xiao Yu couldn't sense any internal energy from him at all, completely treating him as an ordinary person. Consequently, a blind spot appeared in his reasoning, subconsciously excluding Chen Tianming's power from this battle.

Yan Yu frowned slightly and raised a hand to stop the hot-blooded members behind her. She said, "Since Mr. Xiao is so eager to fight, then we shall fight!"

"Three days from now, in District 3, we will decide the outcome, and we will decide who lives and who dies!"

A flash of surprise crossed Xiao Yu's eyes! Although he didn't know why Yan Yu was so confident, this was exactly what he wanted!

Xiao Yu curled his lips slightly. Never mind that he could sense Yan Yu hadn't broken through yet; even if she managed to reach the Grandmaster realm in three days, he wasn't worried about losing!

"Fine, three days from now, District 3!" Although he had intended to act today, since Chen Tianming had disrupted his plans, three days later was just as well. "Retreat!"

Seeing Xiao Yu leave, Yan Yu let out a visible sigh of relief. However, Chen Tianming felt it was a pity. He had to wait another three days... He secretly shook his head.

... After leaving Yan Yu, Chen Tianming sat in his car and suddenly received a call from Bai Muning. Seeing her name, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen this slightly socially anxious online-dating heroine in a while.

"Hello? What's wrong?" Chen Tianming's lips curled into a smile, his voice as refreshing as a spring breeze. Chen Tianming was famously good to his own women.

Bai Muning's voice rang out softly over the phone. "T-Tianming-ge... I'm not disturbing you, am I?"

When she called him "Tianming-ge," a flush of red couldn't help but rise to her face on the other end of the line. Although she was several years older than Chen Tianming, he always insisted that she call him "gege." With her affection level reaching 100 points, she naturally wouldn't refuse such a trivial request, but she still felt a bit strange every time she said it.

"Not at all." Currently, the company was being run by that commercial talent Zhao Xuexuan, so he really didn't have anything to do.

"Then, then can you come to my house to stay the night tonight?" When Bai Muning said this, Chen Tianming could tell just from her voice that she was so shy she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

"My father needs to attend a banquet tonight... There won't be anyone at home... I have some things I want to tell you in person."

Chen Tianming was stunned for a moment before quickly reacting. He felt his blood surging! A peerless beauty with a looks rating of over 95 points saying there was no one home at night. This, this...

"I'll be there right away!" After hanging up, Chen Tianming drove toward the Bai residence.

... On the other side, Father Bai always felt his daughter was acting a bit strange. She had been hiding in her room the whole time and hadn't even come out to eat. However, considering that Bai Muning usually liked staying by herself, he didn't think too much of it. He shook his head and turned to leave the Bai residence.

About ten minutes later, Chen Tianming's car arrived at the Bai residence.

"Tianming-ge!" As soon as Chen Tianming arrived, Bai Muning ran out of the large villa. With an excited look on her face, she threw herself directly into Chen Tianming's arms!

Chen Tianming looked down to examine her and saw that Bai Muning was wearing a dinosaur pajama set with headphones around her neck—the quintessential look of an internet-addicted girl.

"No wonder she could meet the Child of Destiny online..." Chen Tianming complained inwardly, but outwardly he said, "Where is the housekeeper? Why did you come out yourself?"

Bai Muning whispered, "I told them to rest early. Tonight... it's just the two of us."

Chen Tianming felt his breathing quicken slightly. However, considering this was the main entrance of the Bai residence and someone could come by at any time, he suppressed the excitement in his heart. He put Bai Muning down and walked with her toward the house.

As they walked, he said, "It's not always convenient like this." Bai Muning thought about it, felt that what Chen Tianming said made sense, and replied, "I have another place outside. Next time, we can meet there."

Chen Tianming nodded, unable to help but sigh inwardly. As expected of a little rich girl. Oh, wait, I'm also a second-generation rich kid, so never mind.

He paused and continued, "How is your cultivation going?" "I'm already a Martial Master!" Not bad.

As they spoke, the two of them returned to Bai Muning's bedroom. Sure enough, they didn't see anyone on the way. Chen Tianming sat cross-legged on the bed, extended his index finger, pressed it to the center of Bai Muning's forehead, and said, "Now I will pass on another cultivation method to you... Follow the way I guide you and feel the spiritual energy in the air!"

What Chen Tianming was teaching her was a technique to awaken supernatural abilities. Since he had come all this way, he naturally had to get down to business. Seeing Chen Tianming's serious expression, Bai Muning didn't dare to be negligent. She nodded repeatedly and sat down cross-legged.

Soon, Bai Muning's face turned flushed red, and her body temperature rose rapidly. The next moment, she opened her eyes abruptly. With a whoosh, she exhaled a burst of flame!

"A fire elemental ability, huh? I happened to be missing the fire element for my Five Elements ability; you actually managed to hit it!"

Bai Muning quickly covered her mouth and looked at Chen Tianming sitting opposite her. "Tianming-ge, I, I didn't mean to!"

Chen Tianming waved his hand casually. "I can project my internal energy; your flames are only a level one ability, they can't hurt me." Bai Muning breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately after, she seemed to realize what happened. She looked at Chen Tianming in shock and said, "I, I can breathe fire?"
