Do You Know Him?

Jiang Fan came out of the Martial Arts Association.

He passed through the lobby and nodded to the girl at the front desk.

The receptionist girl was inwardly agitated!

This was a Level Two Martial Artist—a Level Two Martial Artist who had emerged from the Outer City, a genius who needed the Martial Association President to personally accompany him.

He had actually been willing to greet a wage earner like her. For a moment, she was overwhelmed by the favor!

She hurriedly returned his greeting with a smile.

"Take care!"

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

"Thank you!"

He crossed the lobby and was just about to step through the main entrance when a crisp voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Jiang Fan!"

Jiang Fan turned his head and looked over, slightly startled.

Su Mu Qing?

What was she doing here?

Then he remembered that this was the Martial Arts Association. She might have come here to get certified as a Martial Artist as well.

Jiang Fan stopped and waited for Su Mu Qing to come before him.

"Is something wrong?"

Su Mu Qing hesitated for a moment.

"You came here to get certified as a Martial Artist just now. Did you succeed?"

"A Level Two Martial Artist?"

"Hadn't you still not awakened?"

Jiang Fan's brows knitted together.

"Can't I get certified as a Martial Artist?"

Su Mu Qing hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, no. I was just surprised!"

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first!"

He had no favorable impression of the girl before him.

Su Mu Qing hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Jiang Fan's path.

"Wait!"

Jiang Fan frowned.

"Is there something else?"

Su Mu Qing took a letter from her bosom.

"Wenwen asked me to give this to you!"

Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and did not reach out to take it.

Su Mu Qing hurriedly explained.

"Wenwen has already left River City. A few days ago, she was specially recruited by Capital City First Martial Arts University."

"And then..."

Su Mu Qing seemed to organize her thoughts.

"She didn't have time to tell you, so she left a letter and asked me to bring it to you!"

"But I've been rather busy these past few days and haven't had time to go to Third High School to find you. I happened to run into you here, so I thought I'd give you the letter and save myself another trip!"

Jiang Fan looked at her indifferently but still did not take the letter.

Su Mu Qing was Xu Wenwen's best friend, Jiang Fan's girlfriend, and also his middle-school classmate.

Actually, calling Xu Wenwen his girlfriend was not quite accurate.

The two of them had merely grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

They had indeed liked each other in the past, but they had still been young then and had never pierced that layer of window paper.

However, after they entered high school, Xu Wenwen went to First High School while he went to Third High School, and the two gradually lost contact.

Later, after Jiang Fan failed to awaken twice and Xu Wenwen's talent gradually revealed itself, she became even colder toward him.

Both families lived in the Inner City, and their homes were not too far apart. They would occasionally run into each other.

But whenever they did, Xu Wenwen would always avoid him, intentionally or otherwise, which left Jiang Fan deeply wounded.

The two of them had never confirmed their relationship, and Jiang Fan was not the sort of person who dwelled on things.

But Xu Wenwen's behavior made it seem as though she was afraid Jiang Fan would pester her.

Yet she herself refused to make things clear to Jiang Fan face-to-face, choosing to play the 'bad person' and even hide from him, denying him any chance to talk things through. And so, in the end, things had become what they were now.

But those had been matters concerning his predecessor.

After transmigrating, Jiang Fan had inherited his memories, but once they had merged, his impression of Xu Wenwen had faded considerably, let alone any feelings that might still exist.

Looking at the matter from a bystander's perspective, he merely felt that she was rather disgusting. As a result, he disliked Su Mu Qing a little as well.

"There's no need for the letter. I know what she'll write!"

Jiang Fan said indifferently.

Although he said that, he had not even bothered to speculate.

In his eyes, Xu Wenwen was as good as nonexistent. He did not want any connection with her, so whether he read the letter or not made no difference.

Su Mu Qing grew anxious as soon as she heard that.

"Don't!"

"I'm only fulfilling Wenwen's request. I have to give this letter to you!"

"Do you think..."

She had originally wanted to say, Do you think I want to meddle in your ridiculous business?

But when the words reached her lips, her tone inexplicably softened.

"I have to fulfill someone else's request, at least! As for what happens between you two, I won't interfere!"

Previously, she and Xu Wenwen had both been students at First High School, while Jiang Fan had attended Third High School. To be honest, she had looked down on Jiang Fan deep down.

Although she had not shown it much, in her eyes, Jiang Fan's so-called title as the top liberal-arts student at Third High School was not worth their attention at all.

But now, Jiang Fan had inexplicably become a Level Two Martial Artist, and even the vice president of the Martial Arts Association had personally accompanied him. When she spoke to him, she inexplicably felt as though she was a head shorter.

Seeing Su Mu Qing insist, Jiang Fan furrowed his brows.

Not wanting to argue with her here, he took the envelope and opened it in front of her.

The first thing that caught his eye was graceful handwriting.

"Xiao Fan Ge, I've gone to Capital City. I was specially recruited into Capital City First Martial Arts University as the top-ranked student in the special recruitment program. Since the time was too tight, I didn't have time to tell you, so I asked Mu Qing to give you this letter!"

"The two of us have been together since childhood..."

Jiang Fan skimmed quickly past the sentimental part and went straight to the ending.

"I'll be waiting for you at Capital City First Martial Arts University!"

Heh. Jiang Fan suddenly felt like laughing!

If his original impression of Xu Wenwen had been worth sixty points, then now it might not even be worth thirty.

Even now, she still refused to make things clear to Jiang Fan face-to-face, dangling a huge promise in front of him.

She clearly knew that he had not awakened, yet she brought up a top martial arts university in the imperial capital. Was she hoping he would retreat in the face of difficulties?

But his predecessor had not exactly pestered her, had he?

Jiang Fan let out a derisive laugh.

He crumpled the letter into a ball in his hand, gave it a forceful shake, and when he opened his hand again, it had instantly become a pair of scraps.

He threw the scraps into a trash can beside the road, then turned back and said to Su Mu Qing,

"Your task is complete now!"

With that, he turned and walked ahead, soon vanishing at the end of the street.

Su Mu Qing remained where she was, her lovely brows furrowed.

"Hurry, hurry! He might not have gone far yet!"

"Go find him and bring him back!"

A voice rang out in the lobby of the River City Martial Arts Association.

It was followed by hurried footsteps.

Then a group of people arrived at the roadside.

But at this moment, where was Jiang Fan's figure to be found?

"Look at you. Whenever I assign you something, can you ever get it done?"

"I told you to keep him here, and you let him get away!"

"His file doesn't even have a home address, and no school was listed either! Where am I supposed to find him now?"

"Time is so tight right now. Are we supposed to wait until he comes back next time he advances to a Level Three Martial Artist? By then, the daylilies will have gone cold!"

On the main street, the Martial Association President completely disregarded his image and tore into Team Leader Wang.

At that moment, Team Leader Wang was as meek as a little girl. He said weakly,

"He said he would go buy a house in the Inner City and arrange jobs for his family members. He'll probably be there in the next couple of days..."

But before he could finish, the Martial Association President cut him off.

"The next couple of days? Two days or several days? Can we afford to wait right now?"

The Martial Arts Association's Genius Competition was about to begin.

He had just agreed with the president to replace a contestant, taking Ling Yutang out, but now they could not find Jiang Fan.

How could he not be anxious?

Team Leader Wang immediately fell silent.

The group watched the entrance for a while before finally giving up hope.

The Martial Association President sighed.

"Let's go back first and think of another way!"

The group turned around and was just about to walk back when a voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Are you looking for Jiang Fan?"

The Martial Association President spun around. His eyes lit up when he saw Su Mu Qing.

"You know him?"
