Chapter 181: Taking Action
That afternoon, a small snack bar near Nanhua University gradually saw the arrival of several students quite well-known on campus. Some might not know their real names, but their game usernames in “Jianghu” were well-known.
First to arrive were “No Bullshit” and “Fat God,” who greeted a few familiar faces downstairs before asking the owner for a private room on the second floor. Arm in arm, they headed upstairs.
Soon after, Yu Chaja, Xiao Pupu Luanqu, chatting and laughing cheerfully, entered the snack bar and went upstairs with “Yi Tong,” whom they met at the entrance.
“Time to lose weight, buddy. Look, you’ve gained another pound.”
“Yi Tong” followed behind, looking gloomy and silent.
In less than half a minute, Feng Wu Caiyi, Nuomi, Xiao Yuyan—Nanhua’s three most beautiful women—entered the fairly clean and tidy snack bar under the gazes of many admirers!
Chaos ensued as everyone began speculating whether the Caiyi Gang was about to take action. After all, Feng Wu Caiyi now served as the gang leader, with the others holding positions as deputy leaders and sect leaders. Together with the suddenly prominent “Lonely Three Wolves,” the three giants of the “Nanhua Jianghu Ranking,” the numerous Nanhua students gathered there grew excited, guessing that something significant must be happening—otherwise, why would even the famous “Lonely Three Wolves” appear at such an event?
“Wow, everyone’s here? Sorry, sorry!”
Entering the private room on the second floor, Qi Ci glanced around before stopping his eyes on the three beautiful women and smiling.
It had to be said that sitting at the same table as these three beauties in such a setting made every man present feel a bit excited.
“The three giants have arrived—we failed to greet them properly!”
“Waiter, bring tea! Haha…”
“No Bullshit” and “Fat God” cheered by slapping the table.
After the previous martial arts tournament, their attitudes toward the “Nanhua Jianghu Ranking” and the Lonely Three Wolves had changed. They had given up their resistance and occasionally engaged in intimate interactions among men on campus.
“Shut up.”
Dismissing their noise, the three sat down amid the crowd’s laughter.
“Heh, who’s still missing?”
Chen Fan really liked the atmosphere here. He looked around and asked.
“Oh, only Baolong is left. He seems to have recruited two newcomers. Apparently, both have passed their sect’s advanced task system. I think they have potential, so I want to introduce them to everyone here.”
“Oh.”
Everyone raised an eyebrow.
Although there are no less than a million people at the Creation Realm level these days, not many have truly acquired superior martial arts through the elite mission system; most of them already possess considerable strength in the game and should not be underestimated.
“Male or female?”
“One male and one female.”
“The male is in the Business Department; his game name is ‘Bloody Flying Dragon.’ The female is in the Computer Department—you might know her, Xu Yao…”
“Wow, a beauty from the Discipline Committee!”
Instantly, the crowd became excited.
There were already three stunning beauties here, but men are often insatiable. Hearing that another beauty was joining, their hearts surged with excitement—they could hardly wait to welcome her.
Seeing that everyone except Yu Cha behaved in such a predatory manner, the three beauties present showed disdain.
“Sister Caiyi, what do you think? What kind of person is Kai Xin? Like them? Or like the team leader?” Nuomi asked softly.
Yu Cha, hearing that she was being used as a benchmark, looked both amused and exasperated.
“Does that even need to be asked?”
“…Our beautiful Feng Wu is willing to give Kai Xin a chance to get to know her, yet he doesn’t show up. It’s obvious he’s not the type who rushes into things.”
“What do you mean, ‘rushes into things’?”
The crowd at the table tensed up upon hearing this and quickly returned to their proper demeanor, acting like decent gentlemen.
With a roll of their eyes, Nuomi and Feng Wu Caiyi ignored these “actor-level” colleagues. Nuomi, in particular, thought of her first battle with Kai Xin in the game—how he had mercilessly knocked her off the arena in one strike—and agreed with Yu Cha’s words.
Xu Xin sat beside them with a smile, not joining the conversation. She just blinked, observing Feng Wu Caiyi and Nuomi from the side. Two images came to mind:
In one scene, there was a boy who looked like a bookworm, handing her an umbrella with a slight blush on his face;
In another, there was the heroic swordsman from “Jianghu”—dashing in a blue robe, like a war god, fighting among hundreds of skilled players, moving with ease and confidence, his gaze resolute and his actions decisive!
The huge contrast made him somewhat elusive to her…
Xu Xin couldn’t tell whether the man, who seemed to have undergone a dramatic change according to rumors, would still blush and bid her farewell as he did two months ago when he came to see her.
Perhaps!
Chen Kaixin had changed.
Just as she was lost in thought, the door was pushed open from the outside.
“Sorry I’m late.”
A burly boy smiled as he pushed the door open, apologizing while inviting those behind him in: “Come on in, Flying Dragon, and Miss Xu.”
It was Baolong.
The Tyrannosaurus stepped aside, and the first to enter was a stunningly beautiful woman, followed by a gentleman in a white shirt who appeared gentle and refined. The former was confident and poised, while the latter seemed a bit shy.
“Hello everyone, I’m Bloody Dragon. You can call me… Little Dragon.”
The gentleman in the white shirt didn’t speak very firmly. Despite his image as a model student, his name was quite domineering. He was short and blushed even when speaking, which made him seem somewhat out of place.
Everyone exchanged glances, smiling inwardly.
After greeting Bloody Dragon, their attention turned to Xu Yao, the beautiful representative of the Discipline Council.
“Welcome!”
“Hehe, I didn’t expect Miss Xu to also like ‘Jianghu’! Why isn’t she listed on the ‘Nanhua Jianghu Ranking’? Could it be due to the Discipline Council’s requirements?”
At this moment, Feng Wu Caiyi showed the enthusiasm of a sect leader, smiling as she invited Xu Yao to sit beside her.
“Sis Caiyi is teasing me again.”
After some casual chatting and introductions, everyone gradually became more familiar with each other.
When it seemed appropriate, Feng Wu Caiyi got straight to the point.
“Actually, I called everyone here because there’s an important matter that I can’t decide on alone, and I need to discuss it with you all.”
“…”
Everyone’s expressions turned serious as they fell silent, their gazes fixed on Feng Wu Caiyi, including Bloody Dragon and Xu Yao (game name: Fairy of the Jade Pool).
“As you all know, Kai Xin is the top-ranked expert on our ‘Nanhua Jianghu Ranking’ and also one of our senior leaders in the Caiyi Sect. However, for various reasons, he hasn’t been able to join officially yet.”
“…”
Everyone nodded in silence. Most of them understood the reason.
“Recently, the rapid growth of our Caiyi Sect—with over thirty experts possessing advanced martial arts skills—can largely be attributed to Kai Xin’s efforts…”
“Huh?”
Xu Yao and Bloody Dragon both showed surprise.
Since they were still at the lower levels of the Caiyi Sect, they were unaware of these developments. Learning that the sect already had over thirty experts with advanced skills naturally shocked them!
Thirty people—this was already equivalent to the structure of an ordinary first-class gang. How had they managed to do this?
“Most of these advanced secret techniques were provided by Kai Xin, along with some equipment. Taking this opportunity, our Caiyi Sect has become the leading gang in the surrounding cities. But… that’s not enough.”
Feng Wu Caiyi’s final words were firm and full of passion, instantly lighting up everyone’s eyes and igniting their enthusiasm!
“The guest elder inside the door is ‘Happy’; he gave me a suggestion yesterday…”
At these words, everyone present showed expressions of surprise and attention.
Happy…
This name was mysterious and vague to everyone there, yet it existed clearly like a symbol of Nanhua University!
