Invincible East

Zhao Liya had been in a terrible mood these past few days. Why did she, as the pampered daughter of the Zhao Group, always have to attend these bizarre banquets! The lecherous gazes, lewd expressions, and boastful manners of those rich brats made Zhao Liya feel incredibly exhausted and disgusted after every event. Tomorrow was the 70th birthday of Lin Ling's grandfather, Lin Xiaotian. As the daughter of the Zhao Group and the daughter of the elder of the Longteng Group, another prominent martial arts family, Zhao Liya absolutely had to attend. Moreover, Lin Xiaotian was Lin Ling's grandfather, and as good sisters, she had no reason to refuse. But those young masters from influential families were truly detestable, especially Lin Ling's cousin, Lin Weifeng. He was such a playboy; every time she saw him, she felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly.

If my elder brother Shi Liwei were here, I could invite him to be my dance partner. Zhao Liya couldn't help but picture a tall, handsome, and dashing young man in her mind. It's a pity I heard that five years ago, he was taken away by a master to cultivate and hasn't appeared since. Zhao Liya sighed inwardly. Shi Liwei was the eldest son of the Shi family, an unparalleled martial arts prodigy, and a standout among the younger generation.

Zhang Hupan felt very strange today because he clearly sensed that Zhao Liya, who had always been lively and cheerful, seemed preoccupied and withdrawn today.

"Seal, can you answer this question?" Seal was Zhang Hupan's English name. Ever since becoming friends with Zhang Hupan, the beautiful Scottish girl Cindy had taken a liking to calling him Seal.

"Seal, right, how could I forget about this blockhead!" Zhao Liya felt her eyes suddenly brighten, a cunning glint flashing across her gaze.

Zhang Hupan, who was answering a question, inexplicably felt a chill and a vague sense of foreboding washed over him.

When Zhao Liya nudged Zhang Hupan with her elbow and quietly said, "After class, come with me to Huajia Pond. I have something to discuss with you!" Zhang Hupan finally understood why he had a bad feeling. He didn't know if it was because of that incident at the foot of Wudang Mountain, but Zhang Hupan always felt a bit guilty around Zhao Liya. This was also one of the reasons he always followed the beautiful Scottish girl out of the classroom after class.

When a beautiful woman invites you, refusing is very impolite. Even though Zhang Hupan really didn't want to be alone with Zhao Liya, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

As Zhang Hupan and Zhao Liya walked out of the classroom side by side, Zhang Hupan clearly heard the sound of all the boys' hearts breaking and felt a strong killing intent. By the time Zhang Hupan and Zhao Liya were nearing Huajia Pond, Zhang Hupan could still hear the girls gossiping and the boys wailing from the classroom.

"Oh my god, my first love!"

"The princess of my heart!"

"I'm going to kill you, Zhang Hupan!"

"Hey, did we really see that right? Zhao Liya is interested in that country bumpkin!"

"Hey, Li Li, look, they're going to Huajia Pond!"

Although Hu Zhiming and the other four were also heartbroken, Zhang Hupan was their leader after all. If their leader was enjoying himself, they could at least benefit a little. So, while all the boys were still immersed in their pain, Hu Zhiming, Li Yong, and the others had already begun to fantasize about their wonderful time with beautiful women. Of course, after that scene, Zhang Hupan's god-like flirting skills made Hu Zhiming and the others sigh in admiration once again. "Our boss is definitely the Invincible East of flirting!" Chen Youliang whispered in admiration, and Hu Zhiming and the others repeatedly nodded in agreement.

The weather was nice today, sunny and bright. The late autumn sun felt particularly comfortable on the skin. However, Zhang Hupan and Zhao Liya couldn't feel the warmth of the sun at all. The two had walked nearly half a circle around Huajia Pond without saying a single word. Although Zhao Liya was an outgoing girl, this was her first time walking alone with a boy at Huajia Pond. Huajia Pond had always been a place for couples to meet at school. As they walked side by side around Huajia Pond, they constantly attracted the attention of others. Almost all the boys cast envious glances at Zhang Hupan, while all the girls shook their heads, seemingly regretting that such a beautiful girl was with such an ordinary-looking boy.

As someone from a good background and with outstanding looks, Zhao Liya naturally possessed a sense of superiority and pride. Although she needed Zhang Hupan's help this time, in her heart, she felt it was a gift she was bestowing upon Zhang Hupan. Ever since she was little, all it took was a slight flick of her little finger, and all the boys would flock around her like dogs. But now, she had asked Zhang Hupan out, and they had been wandering around Huajia Pond for half the day, yet Zhang Hupan remained as stiff as a block of wood. Not only did he not try to curry favor with her, but he hadn't even said a word. Zhao Liya was so angry she gritted her teeth, her small face turning bright red. The ambiguous glances from onlookers only added fuel to the fire.

Damn Hupan, you blockhead! Zhao Liya cursed inwardly!

Poor Zhang Hupan, although he was called the Invincible East of flirting by Hu Zhiming and the others, only heaven knew that he was actually a flirting idiot! At this moment, Zhang Hupan had no idea that the beautiful woman beside him had already cursed him more than a hundred times. He was still foolishly waiting for Zhao Liya to speak and tell him what she wanted to discuss. In his worldview, since Zhao Liya said she had something to discuss with him, of course, she should be the one to speak. Otherwise, how would he know what it was! After walking half a circle around Huajia Pond, although Zhang Hupan was a master in the cultivation world with strong defenses, he was starting to feel the pressure from the occasional killing glances from passersby. He wondered if Hu Zhiming and the others saw their leader acting so pathetically now, would they finally see Zhang Hupan as a flirting idiot, or would they think that Zhang Hupan's current strategy was too profound for them to comprehend due to their low flirting skills!

If it were about endurance and willpower, who in this world could compare to Zhang Hupan? After all, he was a master from the cultivation world. Even without eating or drinking, entering a state of meditation for three to five years was not a problem at all. Although the gazes of others and Zhao Liya's silence made Zhang Hupan feel awkward and embarrassed, a master was still a master. Zhang Hupan maintained his composure and kept a calm expression.

Finally, Zhao Liya could no longer tolerate Zhang Hupan's silence and the ambiguous glances from onlookers. She abandoned her maidenly reserve, pouted, knitted her brows, stomped her foot, and said angrily, "Zhang Hupan, you blockhead!"

"Me, what's wrong with me? What did I do to offend you again?" If Zhao Liya had maintained a calm state of mind at this moment, perhaps she would have noticed that Zhang Hupan inexplicably used the word "again" in his sentence, and maybe she would have recalled something. However, Zhao Liya was in no state to remain calm; she was almost at the point of exploding.

"Do you always act like this, not saying a word when you're with girls?" Zhao Liya said through gritted teeth.

"Didn't you ask me to come out and say you had something to discuss with me? I'm waiting!" Seeing Zhao Liya's exasperated look, Zhang Hupan was completely baffled. However, he finally believed the saying, "Women are always inexplicable."

Seeing Zhang Hupan say this with a bewildered expression, Zhao Liya was finally completely defeated by Zhang Hupan! It was only then that she remembered Zhang Hupan's behavior from the beginning of the semester until now. They had been deskmates for nearly three months, and he hadn't said a single voluntary word to her. Now, how could she be so foolish as to expect this wooden block to speak first, wasting so much time wandering aimlessly around Huajia Pond! Thinking of this, Zhao Liya looked at the blockhead Zhang Hupan beside her, who was looking bewildered and sulking helplessly, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Her charming smile stunned Zhang Hupan, who stared at Zhao Liya blankly, his soul already five or six parts gone, his heart filled with exhilaration!

Seeing Zhang Hupan staring at her in a daze, if it were anyone else, Zhao Liya would have already been furious. However, seeing Zhang Hupan so flustered because of her, Zhao Liya felt a hint of secret joy. It seemed that the resentment from being ignored for the past few months had vanished without a trace, and she even felt a sense of triumphant joy. She couldn't help but think smugly, Now you know how beautiful I am!
