The Last Peaceful Days
"Same place, Old Shi, see you there!" Wang Xuan responded readily.
Qing Mu's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, and he was quite troubled.
Because Old Chen specifically emphasized that he would never allow people to "pay their respects" in the ward tonight, and he absolutely would not allow people to line up and touch him. Otherwise, he guaranteed that he would "come back to life" on the spot and would not tolerate it any longer!
After hearing Qing Mu's truthful report, Wang Xuan sighed and said, "Old Chen, you've been through so many storms. Your Great Grandmaster style on the Pamir Plateau was so brilliant. But now you're so shy and hesitant. That's not like him. It won't hurt you to touch him a few times."
"Is this even human language?" Qing Mu was speechless. Old Chen had been groped for two nights in a row; how could he not be furious? Anyone would find that unbearable.
"Alright, it's still early anyway, let's arrange another meeting when no one's looking!" Wang Xuan said.
As the sun bursts forth with crimson clouds, a misty fog lingers in the countryside in this late autumn season, nearing winter. The estate is vast, planted with many trees, and the woodlands within the estate, shrouded in the red glow and fog, possess a unique and picturesque beauty.
After having breakfast, Wang Xuan, having nothing to do, picked up the fishing rod that Old Chen had left there and went to the pond behind the manor to fish.
As the sun rose above the mountains, the manor became increasingly lively, with too many people coming to "hold a meeting." Wang Xuan felt that rather than listening to the noise, he might as well help Old Chen, who was lying in bed pretending to be dead, to cast a couple of lines.
This pond is not small; it connects to a river not far away. There are many wild fish, and a lot of reeds grow along the banks. Some water birds also live there, flapping their wings and taking flight from time to time.
Wang Xuan found a good spot, held the fishing rod in one hand, and started taking pictures with the other. He then sent the pictures to Qing Mu, implying that he could show them to Old Chen, otherwise his old colleague would be bored lying in bed alone.
Old Chen was immediately spurred on. Did he even know how to fish? He used his collectible fishing rod as a long stick and vigorously whipped the wild fish in the pond, splashing water everywhere.
Old Chen's heart was bleeding. He wished he could jump up and "teach" him how to respect fishing. If he really didn't know how, he might as well just plant the man in the pond and leave him alone to mess with his fishing rod.
"Look, I caught a ten-pound blackfish!" Wang Xuan sent the message again.
Qing Mu silently showed it to his master. Old Chen immediately felt his blood pressure soar. The kid held the fishing rod upside down and, with his agile skills, used the end to directly kill a big fish on the shore, then lifted it up to show him.
This was an utter disgrace to the fishing world! Old Chen's heart ached. That fishing rod was a special gift from someone, quite precious, and now it was being used as a harpoon by a novice. Old Chen secretly made up his mind: he would meet Ancestor Wang at the Inner Scenery Realm that night and "teach him a lesson"!
There was a commotion around him; someone was deliberately approaching. Wang Xuan sighed. He had long known that there would be little peace in the future, so he cherished the time he had now. Fishing and teasing Old Chen was so much fun. Soon he would be entering deep space, and who knew what he would face.
Although these people acted naturally and dispersed, some were strolling near the pond, some were taking pictures of water birds, and some even brought fishing rods to fish.
Is some important person coming? Are they "warming up" in advance? Wang Xuan frowned. These people who arrived early were all elites, but they were low-key and natural, making it difficult for outsiders to notice anything unusual.
The anglers were much more meticulous than Wang Xuan; they baited their spots and prepared thoroughly. The people photographing the waterbirds were even more sophisticated, carrying cameras worth tens of thousands of New Star Coin —very professional. The people taking a walk and practicing Tai Chi were clearly seasoned experts in health and wellness.
A dozen or so people appeared one after another. They seemed to have no connection with each other, but their distance and positioning were very particular, making it easy for them to coordinate. Once they started, they would be very fierce.
It's astonishing that Wang Xuan has reached the sixth level of the Golden Body Art at this age. It not only enhances the strength of his physical body, but also strengthens his Mental Power!
His strength has increased significantly, and even his mental field is about to take shape. He has grasped every detail as these people approach.
That's why he frowned, because they were a group of extremely capable and well-trained individuals, far from simple.
Fortunately, he did not sense any killing intent. It seemed that this group of people had simply entered the venue in advance to meet and protect some people of extraordinary status.
Otherwise, Wang Xuan is prepared to strike first!
Just when he thought someone was finally going to make their appearance, he discovered that five or six more groups of well-coordinated people had arrived and dispersed around the area, which made his eyelids twitch.
Soon after, people appeared in the distance. In the thin morning mist and rosy dawn, several Dao Body quite beautiful, walking on the soft grass. They were young and full of youthful energy, which was really attractive.
"It's Da Wu, is she arguing with someone?" Wang Xuan was surprised. He immediately spotted Da Wu, who had a rather prominent figure. It was actually her.
It seems he was overthinking things. Those people didn't come for him, because Da Wu and the others didn't come over; they were still arguing.
"That doesn't make sense either. It's unlikely that Da Wu and the other young people would have so many powerful figures 'warming up' them in advance, or providing them with backup and protection. I guess the young people just accidentally barged in." Wang Xuan guessed that some important figures were coming, but the young people had arrived unexpectedly ahead of time.
He ignored it and continued fishing... spearfishing, then sent the photos to Old Chen to test his old colleague's blood pressure and cardiovascular endurance.
"Hmm, Da Wu is here." Wang Xuan pretended not to see him and continued fishing with his fork, immersing himself in the leisurely time.
"Little Zhong, don't go too far..." Through Da Wu's voice, Wang Xuan was surprised to realize that the person she was arguing with was no ordinary person and was not afraid of Da Wu at all. Since the surname was Zhong, could it be the Zhong family who gave her the Bodhi Visualization Method last night?
He frowned. What did Da Wu mean? He argued with Little Zhong and then led the people to his side. Logically speaking, Da Wu shouldn't want the Zhong family to win him over, and he shouldn't want the two sides to have any contact. He even came to the scene last night to ruin the atmosphere.
He felt that Da Wu was doing this intentionally. Besides her fiery temper and magnanimous nature, she was actually quite cunning. Could she be trying to use him to cause an unexpected misunderstanding with Little Zhong, leading to a bitter breakup? Or perhaps Da Wu knew Little Zhong had some "plans," so she brought her over beforehand to disrupt their schedule?
Wang Xuan abandoned Old Chen's prized fishing rod, turned around, and was about to disappear. This place was full of important figures and "ideas" who had all come to join in the fun, and he, Ancestor Wang, had no intention of getting involved.
"Little Wang!" Da Wu called out to him, stepping across the grass to a spot not far from the Reed Pond, and waved in this direction.
Wang Xuan sighed, then turned around and walked over calmly, greeting them with a smile. He also got a clear look at the group of people walking towards him, who were indeed all young people.
Undoubtedly, this age group is a time of both youthful vigor and initial maturity. The group includes people of both Eastern and Western appearances; the four men are tall and well-built, and even those who are not particularly handsome possess outstanding charisma; the three women are all youthful, beautiful, and full of energy.
Da Wu and one woman stood out the most, and their styles and temperaments were actually two extremes.
The brilliant sunrise highlighted Da Wu's stunningly curvaceous figure, amplifying not her bad temper but her other beautiful qualities.
As for the other woman, she was without makeup, extremely beautiful, youthful and vibrant, with pure and lovely eyes, like a student who had just graduated from high school and entered university.
Her pure and innocent aura was remarkably clear; without makeup, she was undoubtedly the campus belle of any newly enrolled university. Standing at approximately 172 centimeters tall with flowing long hair, she could easily captivate both young boys and older men.
Both Da Wu and the woman in front of him, around twenty years old, were quite outstanding and attracted attention. Wang Xuan was observing them with an eye for appreciating beauty.
He remarked that the two women, whose temperament and beauty were at opposite extremes, were truly a sight to behold when standing side by side.
She smiled like a pure and innocent girl entering college for the first time. She was indeed very beautiful and serene in the sunlight. She introduced herself politely and gently. It was indeed Little Zhong.
Zhongqing? Wang Xuan was surprised; this name...
"Love at first sight can ruin your life. Little Wang, don't be fooled by her looks. Little Zhong is ruthless and heartless." Da Wu crossed his arms and smiled, immediately undermining him.
"Zhong Qing." Little Zhong smiled and corrected, explaining that it was Qing from a sunny day. She stood gracefully and said with a smile, "Da Yin Yin loves to talk nonsense and often teases people. She has a bad temper, and I'm afraid of her."
Wang Xuan felt a sense of unease. Little Zhong still looked like a student, but his words revealed extraordinary fighting spirit. He pointed out that Da Yin Yin had a bad temper, all sorts of bad tempers, and was good at talking nonsense and teasing people.
Da Wu raised his snow-white chin, smoothed his hair, glanced at a certain part of Zhong Qing, and said, "Little Zhong, don't be fooled by your innocent face, you've deceived countless people, you're very shameless."
"Little Wang, let me tell you, not long ago, Little Zhong was scheming against you. He's too cunning, which is entirely due to the influence of his Old Zhong." Da Wu rattled off a string of words, his fighting spirit off the charts, quickly revealing some things.
At this moment, Da Wu spoke quickly, stopping Zhong Qing from interrupting in a simple, direct, and effective way. "The Zhong family girl was just discussing with someone about finding a great expert to assess your combat strength and test your true power, yet she still wants to absolve herself completely. Finally, she will appear this bright morning for a beautiful and accidental encounter with you. Without a doubt, she will behave impeccably, appearing elegant, pure, and sincere, leaving you with a beautiful and radiant impression before waving goodbye and drifting away. In reality, she simply wants you to work for her in the future; that's Little Zhong!"
Wang Xuan was shocked, not because he was afraid of being schemed against by Zhong Qing, but because Da Wu's fighting strength was extremely strong today, and he became incredibly warlike and belligerent after encountering Little Zhong.
