Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 226
It didn't make sense to go to the dining hall again, so Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingran left the campus. There was never a lack of restaurants near a university's entrance. Almost the entire street was full of them.
The two of them chose a random one and entered inside. Cheng Lingran took a seat and let Jiang Xiu go order dishes. He mainly picked the stuff she liked to eat while she conjectured on how Long Tingwei would handle this matter.
Cheng Lingran knew Long Tingwei was trying to woo her and she understood how to make use of this advantage. She believed Long Tingwei wouldn't hurt Jiang Xiu much as he wanted to woo her. If he took drastic measures, it would make her hate him, and his chances of wooing her successfully would drop to the bottom. Long Yingqing was the biggest problem.
She had never interacted with this ice-cold beauty. No one dared to provoke this pretty girl due to her background, and there were no bad rumors about her. She had only heard that Long Tingwei was a moody person with a wild personality.
"Food has arrived. Let's eat quickly." Jiang Xiu interrupted her thoughts.
Cheng Lingsu said, "Wow, so much stuff… Can the both of us finish this? Don't order so much next time lest it goes to waste."
After the Cheng Conglomerate went bankrupt, Cheng Lingran had also passed through days where she was hard-pressed for money and would act frugally.
Jiang Xiu laughed, "We'll be able to finish it. Aren't I here?"
On the Immortal Martial Continent, food was eaten merely just to satisfy one's taste buds, only for pure enjoyment. Food couldn't help them replenish the energy used up by their body, so they all ate fasting pills or some other medicinal pills. Jiang Xiu's appetite was a bit huge right now, and he didn't have any medicinal pills to eat so he could only gorge himself.
Cheng Lingran passed a block of meat to him, "Obediently follow my lead later."
"Follow your lead?" Jiang Xiu asked.
Cheng Lingran nodded solemnly, "Mhm. I believe they won't act too excessively. They would at most hit you once to vent their anger. If it is worse, I'll nurse you beside your bed."
"I won't disagree with you nursing me beside my bed, but I don't think it'll be that worse!"
Cheng Lingran continued, "Long Tingwei isn't a problem, but his little sister is. It won't be easy to deal with her. I understand a woman's mind better than you, so it's better for you to follow my lead. Wait for my signal."
Jiang Xiu smiled at her, "Okay!"
…
Jiang Xiu and Cheng Lingran arrived at the gym on time. They pushed open the door and walked in. The other side was lying in wait with many men, at least 30-40 men.
It was a gallery vicious enough to shock anyone.
Long Yingqing who had now changed into a cyan sports jacket stood at the front. With that group of fierce men behind her, she looked like a big sis of a gang. Paired with her outstanding facial features, it gave her an alluring charm.
"You've come!"
Long Yingqing gazed at the two with a playful look on her pretty face.
"You're quite punctual."
Jiang Xiu said, "I arrived on time as we agreed!"
An elegant youth donned in a white suit stood behind her, it was none other than Long Tingwei. His eyes ran up and down Jiang Xiu, disdain flashing through his eyes, after which he looked at Cheng Lingran. "Lingran, I tried my best."
"Thank you!"
The one who called them here was Long Tingwei, yet he was now standing behind Long Yingqing. This was quite unusual. The only thing possible was that he had tried to mediate, but Long Yingqing had rejected it. This also meant that Long Yingqing's position in their family was higher than Long Tingwei's.
In the elite families, the position wasn't decided by age but rather skill and influence.
Cheng Lingran grabbed Jiang Xiu's hand nervously. Her face was full of worry. What they had consulted before was of no use as Long Tingwei simply didn't help at all.
"Little Xiu, looks like we're in trouble this time!"
Looking at the circumstances, it seemed like Long Yingqing was planning to act heavily.
"It's fine!"
Jiang Xiu smiled coolly then turned towards Long Yingqing, "What do you want to do?"
"Since you came, don't think of leaving."
"Close the door!"
Bang! The gym's door was closed with force, resulting in a loud echo resounding inside the sealed room.
"What? You want to bully us since you have more people?"
A youth came out from behind her. He was 1.9 m high and a full half-head taller than Jiang Xiu. He had a fierce look in his eyes, and each of his movements wasted little to no amount of energy. One look was clear to determine he had extraordinary skills.
Long Yingqing said, "I don't act so low-class like you who lays hands on a woman."
"One by one?" Jiang Xiu shook his head with a smile, "This is indeed just and honorable. Looks like you're planning for a rotation duel instead of a group duel. It doesn't matter to me since it's all the same."
"Hmph!"
Long Yingqing actually removed the cyan sports jacket she was wearing and handed it over to that burly youth, revealing the white sportswear underneath.
Long Tingwei explained from the side, "Yingqing stayed in Korea and learned Taekwondo for the three years she stayed there. She's a real Taekwondo expert."
"Though she doesn't have a ranked belt, she's not at all weak!"
He was pretty confident about Long Yingqing. Her learning skills were better than ordinary people. She also knew swimming, horse riding, fencing and other stuff. He really envied her genes.
"You sure you want to fight with me?" Jiang Xiu inquired.
He didn't make out that this lass was a practitioner. It was no wonder that she had a fierce temperament. However, she paid attention to her image very much. Though he had splashed soup over her face, she hadn't acted in public and endured it. Like the adage went - one's appearance is born of the heart. She was a person who was cold on the outside yet passionate on the inside.
"What? Are you scared?"
Jiang Xiu couldn't help but laugh, disdain flashing through his eyes. Long Yingqing observed all of this then said, "My strength is equal to a 5th dan black belt practitioner. Though it isn't comparable to a true expert, it's enough to deal with 10 of ordinary people like you."
"Anyone can boast like that!" Jiang Xiu replied.
"Bring it here!"
A boy brought a wooden bucket over while pinching his nose. Everyone could smell the stink even though they were at a distance from it. Even Cheng Lingran pinched her nose.
There was no need to explain what was inside.
This ice-beauty actually thought up of such a vulgar game. She continued speaking with an indifferent expression, "Don't you like splashing soup at people? Whoever loses this duel will have their face splashed with this!"
Jiang Xiu seemed to smile at her yet not, "You sure?"
"What? Scared?" Long Yingqing questioned him.
"If you're scared, there's no need to fight, but you won't escape getting splashed by this bucket…"
Jiang Xiu said, "I fear you'll cry later on…"
"Enough chatter!"
Long Yingqing shouted at him and revealed an imposing manner. Taekwondo relied on this a lot. Before attacking, a practitioner would definitely yell to increase their momentum. However, a pretty woman like Long Yingqing shouting left an entirely different taste.
She assumed the standard Taekwondo posture and displayed a flying roundhouse kick, making her look very fierce. Though this little lass had a cold expression on her face, she was a smart girl. She had done this intentionally to scare Jiang Xiu!
"Just fancy skills, that's all!"
Long Yingqing's expression turned colder, "You're courting death!"
She suddenly closed in towards Jiang Xiu from the side with shocking, explosive speed. Compared to an ordinary person, it was indeed fiercer. After all, a black belt wasn't something easy to get hold of. Her kick was enough to send a person flying back 3-4 m.
It was indeed a pity!
She had chosen the wrong opponent today.
Jiang Xiu kicked out lightly right at the back of her foot, which was followed by a snapping sound. Long Yingqing's face twisted in pain as she fell to the ground while screaming.
"It's over?"
Everyone believed Jiang Xiu would get beaten up but never expected Long Yingqing would fall to the ground with just a single kick. She held her foot with a painful expression on her face.
Her face was pale and drenched in sweat.
Cheng Lingran shouted in surprise, "A win!"
This outcome was too shocking.
"Tsk tsk tsk…"
Jiang Xiu clicked his mouth weirdly, "Can you still fight? If you can't, then this bucket…"
Long Yingqing's face lost all color. She made a great effort to stand up yet her lips trembled in pain at the moment she placed her foot on the ground. She couldn't even stand.
"You can't stand?"
Long Yingqing glared at Jiang Xiu, wishing she could mince him into pieces yet she was grumbling in her mind about the fact that she had dug her own grave. She had thought of many methods to take revenge against Jiang Xiu for splashing soup on her face but couldn't decide on anything. Her dormmate had accidentally mentioned it, and even she felt it was nauseating, so she accepted the suggestion.
But who could've imagined that…
"Do you admit defeat?"
