Chapter 604 The World of High Martial Arts (3)
Wangyou and Youran exchanged a glance. Although their families were not short of money, what kind of operation was it to transfer money to strangers so casually?
"Are you planning to tell anyone? Then we'll pay you a million dollars, a million dollars to keep quiet." Seeing that neither of them spoke, Tina raised the stakes again.
"Forget about hush money, we don't need that kind of money. Just satisfy my curiosity." When Wangyou was born, her family was indeed only moderately wealthy, but later her father was promoted one after another, and her mother was a business tycoon. They were no longer short of money.
"What do you want to know?" Tina asked, looking at Wangyou with a hint of wariness.
"What do you see in that redhead?" Wangyou was very curious about this. Tina's entire outfit was custom-made, and her family background was quite good. There was no need for her to be humble towards that redhead, especially since he wasn't that good-looking.
"What red hair?" Tina didn't understand for a moment.
"What is it about Sheng Hai that you see in him, Wangyou?"
“Brother Hai isn’t some redhead. He’s one of the four princes of City A, my fiancé since childhood, and he’s handsome,” Tina said confidently.
"Is it pretty?" Wangyou asked with great skepticism.
"Beautiful!" Tina and Huang Youran said in unison.
"You two have never seen a real handsome guy before. With his looks, he's just a pretty boy at best," Wangyou said very seriously.
"Then what do you think a real handsome guy is like?" The two were unconvinced but also very curious.
"Look at this one." Wangyou confidently released Martial Venerable Zhou Yan, who exuded a murderous aura, with cold eyes, sharp gaze, and a sharply defined, ruggedly handsome face. "This is Martial Venerable Zhou Yan. Although he is already three hundred years old this year, it doesn't affect his handsomeness at all!"
"He's so handsome! This really is Martial Venerable Zhou Yan. How did you get his picture?" The two were reluctant to believe it. After all, Zhou Yan was the most mysterious Martial Venerable, and there were no pictures of him online.
"You don't need to know that. Anyway, the photos are real. So, tell me, how does it compare to that red-haired guy?"
“There’s absolutely no comparison. One is the God of War of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the other is just a high school student,” Tina said without hesitation, only realizing after she finished speaking that she had blurted it out too quickly.
"And this one, Academician Xu Song, who invented the Starry Sky Armor, is only eighty years old this year. Isn't he better than Red Hair?"
“Wangyou, how many people can compare to Academician Xu?” Huang Youran said with a smile.
"Look at this guy, Wen Haoran, who just awakened his martial arts power and single-handedly stopped a third-tier alien beast. Now, a year has passed and he has already reached the cultivation level of a martial general. He is only four years older than us. Isn't he better than that red-haired guy?"
(Cultivation levels are divided into: Martial Artist, Martial Warrior, Martial General, Martial King, Martial Emperor, Martial Venerable, with each level having nine grades.)
Looking at the boy with blood on his face in the photo, he may not be the most handsome, but the photo is so handsome that you can't take your eyes off him.
“How could Sheng Hai possibly compare to him?” This was Tina’s complaint.
"So, how come you guys think a few people who only know how to cause trouble at school every day are handsome?"
"I don't think Sheng Hai is handsome at all anymore. No, even the Fourth Prince isn't that handsome. He's already awakened his martial arts powers, yet he still comes to school every day to show off. From now on, I want to aim to be like Senior Li Wen," Huang Youran said enthusiastically.
"I'm going back to ask my parents to help me break off the engagement. I need to study hard and strive to awaken my martial arts power in three years." Tina left quickly with a sullen face.
"She's become love-struck." Wangyou watched Tina's departing figure, surprised that she had gotten through to her so quickly.
“Tina isn’t love-struck. Which girl from a big family is simple? She was just blinded by her own limited perspective before,” Huang Youran said with a smile.
"Then we did a good deed today," Wangyou said with a grin.
"Yeah, Wangyou, I need to study hard too. In a world where martial arts are respected, how can we worry about love and romance? That's too unrealistic. My dear sister, if I ever slack off, just slap me." Huang Youran said seriously.
"Okay." Wangyou happily agreed, rubbing her little hands together, knowing this opportunity was rare.
Seeing her friends' actions, Huang Youran quietly picked up her book and started memorizing.
Tina acted quickly. Two days later, they saw the news of Tina and Sheng Hai breaking off their engagement online. The day after the announcement, Tina transferred to Class 9 and sat behind Wangyou.
Miss Tina successfully infiltrated Wangyou and Huang Youran's small group with a large bag of imported snacks.
Tina has become another person who studies diligently.
The more books Wangyou reads, the stranger the rules seem to her.
Just like how children who haven't entered high school can't know about martial artists, and without awakening martial arts power, parents can't talk to their children about martial artists, as if there's some special restriction.
Intuition tells me that reading more books at this time will only bring benefits, not harm.
Therefore, aside from classes, meals, and sleep, Wangyou practically lived in the library with Huang Youran and Tina.
"Do we really have to watch all of this? There are still three years left, we can take our time," Huang Youran and Tina said, their eyes glazed over.
“My gut feeling tells me that if we don’t finish reading all the books before the end of our first year of high school, we’ll definitely regret it,” Wangyou said earnestly, her hands never stopping. “You two can choose not to believe my gut feeling.”
"I believe it." Tina didn't tell anyone that she was freed from suffering by getting close to Forget-Me-Not, so she chose to believe without a second thought.
"I also believe that I will definitely finish memorizing these books before the end of my first year of high school." Huang Youran exhaled and said firmly, "I can't let my best friend be taken away from me."
"Go read your book, you can drink some energy drinks when you get back."
"Okay, I'll bring some over to you two when we get back," Tina nodded and said.
The two didn't refuse. After all, Tina was always throwing money around, and refusing her would only make her unhappy. They could just find a chance to pay her back later.
Tina distanced herself from her girlfriends and the so-called four princes, and never got involved in their love and hate again.
"Sometimes I find it strange. Wangyou is clearly a super beauty, so why doesn't anyone choose you as the school beauty?" Huang Youran wondered, looking at the crowds coming and going while eating.
"I guess it's because I'm low-key enough." Wangyou didn't care about these things, and besides, it was something she did on purpose.
“No, I feel like your presence has been erased, and only certain people notice you,” Tina said seriously while drinking her milk tea.
"If you already know, there's no need to say it out loud." Wangyou smiled. You Ran and Tina are both good people, which is why Wangyou is willing to be with them.
