Time flew by, and soon the agreed meetup time arrived.

Jiangnan was a fair distance from Coastal City, but that wasn't a big deal—high-speed rail was convenient enough these days, just a few hours' journey. As long as he made it before the agreed time of 11:30, it was fine. Gu Chen had already booked his ticket the day before.

Around noon, in a certain urban area of Jiangnan, Gu Chen unhurriedly stepped out of a taxi. His gaze fell on a lakeside courtyard leisure club called Zhi Ya Xuan, covering several thousand square meters in the distance. Occasionally, luxury cars worth millions drove in and out. He was somewhat surprised at the financial strength of his Idiot Girl Friends groupmate, Invincible Little Wave Rider, for booking such a high-end private gathering spot. Her identity, family background, and economic power were clearly no joke.

Martial arts training wasn't simple. First, you had to eat well and regulate your body, needing plenty of free time to understand boxing principles. For an ordinary person, just working to exhaustion left no time or energy to buy precious herbs and food for nourishment, nor to spend hours each day standing in stances or studying boxing theory that earned no money.

Gu Chen, dressed in black, walked straight to the entrance of this classical, elegant lakeside courtyard. He was immediately stopped by several guards and a steward, who politely asked him.

"Hello, this is a private high-end leisure club. May I ask if you have a corresponding VIP card or an invitation?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen quickly recalled what Invincible Little Wave Rider had said in the group—just mention the group name when entering, as she'd already coordinated with the guards and steward.

"Boss Beichen, someone inside invited me."

Upon hearing the name, the steward took out a portable electronic tablet to check, then immediately broke into a bright smile. "So you're the guest invited by Miss Liu! This way, please! I'll have a staff member escort you inside!"

Behind him came a surprised, deep male voice. "Is that Senior Beichen?!"

Gu Beichen turned to look behind him and immediately saw a muscular, brawny man standing there like an iron tower, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and black athletic pants, his muscles tightly knotted. He couldn't help but pause, a puzzled look on his face. "You are..."

Before he could finish, the short-sleeved brawny man rushed up, grabbed his hand with an excited expression, and blurted out, "Senior Beichen! You just gave me pointers in the group! Don't you remember? It's me! Cute Pink Rabbit from the group!!"

Cute Pink Rabbit?!

Gu Chen stared at the nearly 1.9-meter-tall, short-sleeved brawny man in front of him, unable to stop his eyes from twitching. He nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Damn, wasn't the cute cartoon avatar and sweet, adorable way of speaking in the group supposed to belong to a cute girl or a pretty young woman? How the hell did it turn out like this? This was outright group name fraud!!

With a build like yours, where a man could stand on your fist and a horse on your shoulder, how could you have the nerve to call yourself Cute Pink Rabbit? You shouldn't be called Cute Pink Rabbit—you should be called Demon Muscle Explosion Rabbit!!

The steward and guards standing nearby, hearing the muscular man call himself Cute Pink Rabbit, couldn't help their eyes twitching either. They were equally stunned by the contrast.

Gu Chen, nearly choking on the complaint he had no way to voice, looked at Cute Pink Rabbit, who was bouncing around like he'd just met his idol. He gave his hand a gentle shake, easily slipping free from the burly man's iron grip, careful not to let anyone get the wrong idea about them.

"Ahem... Cute, Cute Pink Rabbit, let's talk properly. Don't hold my hand. Let's go in and meet the others first..."

Cute Pink Rabbit, watching Gu Chen easily shake off his grip, looked even more admiring. "As expected of Boss Beichen! Your use of Manifesting Strength is superb!!"

"Uh... Boss Beichen? And Cute, Cute Pink Rabbit?!"

A hesitant voice came from behind. The speaker was a young man in sportswear. Gu Chen glanced at him and quickly guessed his identity—the youngest in the group, still in high school, could only be Ji Taibao.

"Is that Ji Taibao from the group?!"

Hearing this, the young man in sportswear nodded, staring with a strange look at the demon-muscled Cute Pink Rabbit standing nearby. He was clearly just as thunderstruck. Was this what they called a macho pink?!

"Since everyone's here, let's go in and meet the others first!!"

After Gu Chen's words, the young man Ji Taibao and the demon-muscled brawny man Cute Pink Rabbit both nodded. The three followed the steward inside and soon arrived at a luxurious Elegant Garden Room, where two girls were already waiting.

"Is that Boss Beichen? Ji Taibao? And Cute Pink Rabbit? He Wu and I have been waiting here for a while." A girl stood up, smiling warmly at the three, and introduced herself. "I'm Invincible Little Wave Rider from the group, Liu Qing'er."
