Light Cultivation
Eps. 114 — Liu Yanyi
In the end Jian Chen had actually obtained that first-class heirloom sword for free. The Head of the Shop who already knew Jian Chen's identity did not dare to take money from him so he gave the sword away at a free price.
Jian Chen returned to the Academy afterwards, the tournament had still not started there.
“Brother Jian, I thought you would be long gone.” Ziyun greeted Jian Chen after accidentally seeing his figure.
“When the tournament starts, is it still a long time?”
“No, in a moment, after the registration of the students is completed the tournament organizers will prepare every fight. Maybe 2 hours left.”
“Two hours?”
Ziyun nodded, “I and Meily plan to eat first at the restaurant near the academy while waiting for the tournament, maybe you want to come along? Meily had even booked her table at the restaurant.”
Jian Chen thought for a while before agreeing to it, he had also not eaten since arriving at Qianshan City. The two then walked together.
“Brother Jian, I'm sorry for the assault on your clan.” Ziyun opened a chat in the middle of the two steps.
The Jian clan attacks have spread everywhere making the clan famous for being a byword in every place. Although the Jian clan won the war, it was still called a heartbreaking disaster.
Many hundreds of warriors were killed from the incident, the strength of the Jian clan decreased quite greatly.
“Thank you, I'm glad you thought of my clan.” Jian Chen answered him with a warm smile, realizing he was with Ziyun a memory flashed through his head. “Ziyun, do you need a sword now?”
“Medium? No, I have a sword in my ring.”
Jian Chen fell silent before explaining his point. “Actually I have a high-level heirloom sword for you, a sword stronger than a god-class heirloom though.”
“More powerful than god-class heirloom swords?!” Ziyun was immediately surprised to hear that.
“Hm, actually I'm not sure if this is useful for you or not but for sure I can not use this sword if with me.”
Ziyun was of course tempted despite not understanding Jian Chen's sentence, when the young man was willing to show the heirloom the two had already arrived at the restaurant where his destination was.
Jian Chen could not show the heirloom in the crowd like in this restaurant, he chose to continue the conversation with Ziyun the next time.
The restaurant that both enter is a medium-sized restaurant with 2 floors, not too large in size but looks a lot of visitors who meet each table.
Ziyun's eyes were so observant staring around the restaurant until her eyes were fixed on a table where Meily was there.
Jian Chen also immediately knew the whereabouts of the girl, it was not difficult to find her because all the visitors to this restaurant were many who glanced at Meily let alone the girl's face that attracted attention.
“Brother Jian, you are also here?!” Meily gasped in shock when her best friend was with Jian Chen.
“Ah, i..”.
Jian Chen was about to give an explanation but when his gaze was fixed on Meily's dining table he immediately stared. There are so many various foods on the table that even so many tables become crowded by the food available.
“Mei’er, you order all the restaurant menus again?” Ziyun let out a long sigh while shaking her head.
Hearing that Jian Chen choked on his own breath, not believing Ziyun's words whereas Meily just lowered her head in great embarrassment.
Meily is actually not a shy girl even impressed indifferent to others, the girl can ignore all the negative comments about her including about her great appetite.
But the different case with that person was Jian Chen, the man he liked. Meily was afraid of being found out that she had a big appetite making Jian Chen look at her with dislike feelings and might even hate her.
Ziyun immediately understood the mistake of his speech, he hurriedly disallowed it. “Oh, I forgot, didn't Mei’er order a lot of this food for the members of our faction, it seems like they didn't come, yes.”
Although Jian Chen admitted he was very surprised to see Meily's appetite like this considering the girl's body looks slim and beautiful.
“Hm, I always wondered, why can women stay thin despite eating a lot every day?” Jian Chen muttered softly.
“Hihihi.. Consider it our advantage the women..” Lily who has been watching since could not hold her laugh anymore.
Jian Chen smiled faintly hearing that, in the end Ziyun and Jian Chen did not order any more food in the restaurant as it had to help spend the food that Meily had already ordered.
“Oh, this Lotus Flower girl apparently ate at this restaurant, it just so happens that we can meet again..”.
“Yanyi, why are you here?” Meily was startled before her tone turned cold.
The one who suddenly approached Jian Chen's table was Liu Yanyi, the number one genius in the Academy as well as the leader of the Golden Dragon faction.
“Why? You are afraid..” Liu Yanyi smiled cynically, “ I heard you entered this tournament, I happen to be so too.”
“What you want exactly!” Meily narrowed her eyes sharply.
“Hm, as usual you are always cold to every man.” Liu Yanyi shakes his head slowly, “I am here to bet, you and me, you and me, who wins the tournament will have to obey who loses.”
Jian Chen's eyebrows shot up hearing him, so did Ziyun who was shocked.
Niu Meily stood up, her gaze cold even in her eyes there was pent-up anger. “I agree!”
“Mei’er, don't be rash!” Ziyun.
“Kak Ziyun rest easy, I believe in my ability.” Meily smiled then turned to Liu Yanyi with a cold look. “If I win you and win this tournament I want you out of the academy!”
Liu Yanyi laughed, “Good but if I win, you should be with me and release the clan of the Niu clan in you.”
Liu Yanyi's request sounded cruel even excessive, Meily immediately hesitated to accept the bet.
Ziyun asked Jian Chen to mediate this situation, he also explained why Meily was so angry at Yanyi.
It turns out that over the past year Liu Yanyi has terrorized many factions led by Meily, some of which have harmed their members and some have even been critical.
Although there is no evidence of the attack, Meily believes Yanyi is the mastermind. Ever since he had advanced to the position of second genius in the Academy, Liu Yanyi's position as the number 1 student was threatened.
Because his dislike was not to mention that their two clans were indeed hostile to make Liu Yanyi want to harm Meily but there was always no chance that came because that was the member of the Meily faction became his victim.
Liu Yanyi obviously took the opportunity of this tournament to provoke Meily, she brought her hand closer to touching the girl's chin but before there was another hand holding her wrist.
Liu Yanyi's eyes turned to the perpetrator to find Jian Chen smiling at him.
“You don't seem to know manners, you don't see we're eating right now.” Jian Chen smiled sinisterly.
Liu Yanyi did not know Jian Chen's identity but directly piqued the young man for daring to fight him.
“Release!”
Liu Yanyi reacted angrily, he used his strength to release his hand from Jian Chen's grip but to no avail. Liu Yanyi then used his profound energy but his hand was still attached to the young man's hand.
His gaze on Jian Chen instantly changed, he could see the face of the young man was still a teenager even being under his age therefore he was surprised by Jian Chen's strength which was stronger than he expected.
“You, you, who are you exactly?” Liu Yanyi asked sharply.
