Chapter 1693: 43: No Need to Avoid Me
Chapter 1693: Chapter 43: No Need to Avoid MeJiang Wang blinked his eyes, “After entering the Mountain and Sea Realm, isn’t it all based on individual skills? Aren’t all people competitors?”
He earnestly advised, “Little Guangshu, it’s not that I’m lecturing you. Emotions belong to emotions, the Mountain and Sea Realm is the Mountain and Sea Realm, don’t mix the two! Miss Qu surely understands this. Compete fairly in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and continue your relationship afterwards, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
Zuo Guangshu thought about it and surprisingly found it very reasonable.
Jiang Wang said seriously, “We need to find a chance later to let Ye Laner display her skills. We can’t be a match for a God Descending Realm cultivator, but if we can prepare in advance and take advantage of the special environment in the Mountain and Sea Realm, it might not be impossible to give her some trouble!”
“It’s just a friends’ gathering this time…” Zuo Guangshu said weakly, “Everyone is here to welcome you…”
Jiang Wang was about to talk about striving for first place and not being bound by emotions.
Zuo Guangshu added, “And besides, once you break through the age limit, you can’t enter the Mountain and Sea Realm. So Ye Laner won’t be participating…”
“Oh, I see.” Jiang Wang touched his chin and asked, “What about Chu Yuzhi, how strong is he? I’ll test his skills later.”
He had slightly learned about Chu Yuzhi earlier during the Yellow River Gathering. He knew that Chu Yuzhi was a cultivator from the military and had earned his way with his fists and feet, but he didn’t have the luck that Wang Yiwu had, not being able to apprentice under a War God…
But that’s all he knew; he didn’t have a detailed understanding of Chu Yuzhi’s specific strength.
Especially since it’s already the Dao Calendar year 3920, it should no longer be the same as before.
After all, the true quality can only be tested by sword and blade.
“Don’t bother…” Zuo Guangshu said with some helplessness, “We’re all friends here.”
He started to regret agreeing to Qu Shunhua’s invitation.
Why is Brother Jiang so combative?!
Isn’t he heading toward breaking up friendships and relationships?
Jiang Wang continued on his own, “I don’t know Qu Shunhua’s strength. Do you think she used a trump card when she faced off against Xiang Bei back then? Tell me, what is her ultimate move? Let me think about how to counter it…”
“Can’t we just have a simple meal?” Zuo Guangshu interrupted forcefully, “The cuisine at Huangliang Platform is unparalleled!”
This finally made Jiang Wang restrain some of his fighting spirit, “How unparalleled?”
Zuo Guangshu was also happy to divert Brother Jiang’s attention and passionately explained, “A table full of dishes, delivering the full range of flavors—sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy—with all the tastes of life!”
“They have such dishes?” Jiang Wang became interested, “Do they allow takeout?”
“…” Zuo Guangshu said, “Generally, you can only eat in the restaurant. But it’s not impossible to negotiate, given it’s the Qu family’s business…”
Jiang Wang nodded and patted Zuo Guangshu on the shoulder, “Not bad!”
Zuo Guangshu was momentarily flattered, not knowing whether Brother Jiang was praising Huangliang Platform or the Qu family. He cautiously said, “Then don’t cause a scene later, okay? If the place gets smashed, Qu Shunhua would lose face.”
“Can you not trust me, your brother?” Jiang Wang comforted, “I’m not one to stir up trouble. Since you’ve said so, you just get along well with your Qu Shunhua, and I’ll just bring my mouth to eat, alright?”
“Sure!” Zuo Guangshu had no reason to refuse.
Huangliang Platform is one of the top restaurants in Ying City, claiming that in the time it takes to have a meal, diners can experience a slice of life.
Unfortunately, it only serves three tables a day, which is far below the demand.
Even though it’s only spring, reservations are fully booked until the end of the year.
But since Qu Shunhua personally set the banquet, there was no shortage of seats. Huangliang Platform had specially opened an extra table for their honored guests today.
Jiang Wang followed Zuo Guangshu off the carriage and saw a tall platform rising from the ground.
Surrounded by stone walls, it was so vast that one couldn’t see its end at a glance.
The carriage stopped at the stone steps.
Zuo Guangshu led the way ahead, while Jiang Wang looked around, surveying the surroundings near Huangliang Platform. The place was bustling, full of shops and streams of pedestrians.
As they ascended the steps, they saw a doorway of ancient charm and elegance.
Before the entrance, a group of people was walking in.
One of them heard the commotion and turned around, spotting the well-dressed and handsome Zuo Guangshu, burst into laughter, “Who do I see! Isn’t this the Zuo family’s little child?”
This person had heavy pupils and looked tall and powerful, laughing wildly like thunder,
His friends all burst into laughter as well.
He certainly got what he wanted, seeing Zuo Guangshu’s face turn red.
Following that was a clear and bright voice, as a figure in a cyan robe, sword slung on his back, walked step by step from the stone steps, glaring sideways, with eyes more arrogant, more domineering, more self-assured—
“Who do I see, isn’t this a defeated underling?”
Xiang Bei’s wild laughter abruptly stopped.
Of course, he recognized Jiang Wang, and of course, he could never forget this figure in his lifetime.
It was this person, who on the Guanhe Platform, in front of six Emperors and the various nations’ geniuses, pressed down on his face with a Flame Flower, ending his Yellow River Gathering.
Xiang Bei stopped laughing, and those friends beside him stopped laughing too.
But Jiang Wang wasn’t willing to let it go, continuing to walk forward, “Are you still in the Outer Building now, Heavy Pupils? Do you have the courage to fight again?”
“Why wouldn’t I dare!?”
Xiang Bei, being arrogant by nature, couldn’t stand this; ignoring his friends’ attempts to stop him, he strode forward openly—
“Even though I’m not in the Outer Building now, I’ll let you know the courage of a man from the Xiang Family!”
With a big hand gesture, the Overbearing Halberd leaped out into the air.
