198: Chapter 197: Qin Family’s Daughter Comes of Age!

September 15th, Li Chen at Yandang Mountain, executed Gui Ku, Yee Ti, and Mann Chong, three great Grandmasters.

September 16th, the Qin Family of Yanzhou took the lead, uniting major forces and families from the southeast to establish the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance.

September 20th, the Medical Saint Sect agreed to join and offered up a century-old ginseng and Lingzhi mushrooms as a membership gift.

September 21st, the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance was officially established in Yanzhou, with its headquarters set in the Qin Family Mansion.

The heads of Gui Ku, Yee Ti, and Mann Chong, three great Martial Arts Grandmasters, were used to consecrate the flag of the alliance.

Qin Family Patriarch Qin Tianlong and Zhang Tianrui from Medical Saint Sect served as the two Vice Alliance Hierarchs, and Li Chen served as the Alliance Leader.

However, in order to act discreetly, he never showed up himself but let Qin Tianlong and others handle everything.

Taiping, Kongtong, Qingchengg Sword Sect, and other sects, although they declined Li Chen’s invitation to join, nevertheless presented significant gifts, attempting to cultivate good relations with Li Chen.

For Li Chen, he welcomed all comers, adopting a policy of never refusing free gains.

On the day the Huaxia Martial Arts Alliance was established, Heaven and Earth Alliance updated the Heavenly and Earthly Lists, placing Li Chen ninth on the Heavenly List.

From that point on, his name became renowned throughout the world.

In the entire Huaxia Martial Arts World, the name of Donghua Li Immortal Master was known to almost everyone.

How could the story of a hero lack a beautiful lady’s company?

People in the circle knew that the Qin Family had a daughter who was blossoming into womanhood.

Moreover, many eyes saw Li Chen carrying Qin Qingwu at Yandang Mountain.

Even more so, there were rumors in the worldly society that Young Master Li Chen, the reason why he executed Gui Ku, Yee Ti, and Mann Chong, the three great Grandmasters, was all for Qin Qingwu.

And there were plenty of “solid proofs” circulating vividly detailed.

A knight enraged for the love of a lady, what a romantic tale.

Many naive melodramatic girls were moved to tears, crying their eyes out.

They regarded Li Chen as their dream hero, their Prince Charming.

They felt various degrees of envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Qin Qingwu.

However, as the female protagonist of this love and beauty tale, Qin Qingwu was not happy.

She knew, this legendary young man in front of her, never loved her.

Neither in the past nor now.

Even for the future, she was not confident that she could make Li Chen fall in love with her.

That night, the moon shone sparsely with stars.

Li Chen stood with his hands behind his back, looking up to the sky at a forty-five-degree angle.

His eyes wide open, he gazed far into the distance, seeming to search for something among the vast stars.

Indeed, that was the case.

He was searching for a higher plane: the Immortal Realm!

Although, according to his current abilities, he could not see where the Immortal Realm was located, he was still diligently searching.

Whenever the night was silent and deep, an image would emerge in his mind: Beiming Xue, whom he considered his life’s true love, stabbing him in the back.

He still couldn’t understand why she did that?

Beiming Xue, I was sincere towards you, why would you treat me so cruelly?

Why?

Li Chen stared at the starry sky, screaming madly in his heart.

Yet, the only response he received was the howling wind and the cries of nameless insects.

Suddenly!

He felt his shoulder being patted.

Almost instantly, he reacted swiftly, grabbing the person’s wrist firmly.

“Ah!”

The person screamed in pain!

Li Chen glanced sideways and saw it was Qin Qingwu, and couldn’t help but frown.

“What are you doing here?”

Qin Qingwu spoke with a face full of grievance, “This is my home, why can’t I come here?”

“Can you let go of me, it really hurts!”

Li Chen glanced at Qin Qingwu’s wrist and quickly released his grip as if shocked by electricity.

“Next time, don’t stand behind me and pat me!”

Qin Qingwu rubbed her now reddening wrist, looking at Li Chen’s expressionless face, feeling extremely wronged.

This guy hurt her and didn’t even offer a word of comfort, what a jerk.

“You hurt me, aren’t you going to apologize?”

Li Chen looked into Qin Qingwu’s eyes and retorted, “If you hadn’t patted me from behind, how could I have hurt you?”

Qin Qingwu almost choked on such a jerk response, thinking this guy must be cursed with loneliness.

With that thought, she suddenly remembered: the story of her and Li Chen had already been wildly spread outside.

Instantly, her pretty face blushed, and she asked in a low voice, “Have you heard about those rumors outside?”

Li Chen asked, “What rumors?”

Qin Qingwu blushed with anger, and retorted, “What else could the rumors be about?

It’s obviously the story of someone becoming enraged for the sake of a beauty!”

Li Chen suddenly realized, and said, “Ah, you’re talking about that, well, people will say what they want since they have mouths!”

Qin Qingwu, seeing that Li Chen didn’t grasp the implication of her words, was so frustrated that she stomped her feet.

Such an idiot, a blockhead!

She seemed to have mustered great courage before she finally asked, “The rumors out there say I’m your woman, don’t you have anything to say about that?”

Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “Not really, what is there to say?”

Qin Qingwu cursed in her heart again, calling him an idiot, doubting if she was dealing with a fake Grandmaster.

With such intelligence, how did he ever become a Grandmaster?

“Do you like me?” Asking this question took all of Qin Qingwu’s courage.

At this moment, she felt like a prisoner waiting for the judge’s verdict, anxious and uneasy.

“Why ask that?”

Li Chen looked at her and asked casually.

“Never mind!” Seeing Li Chen’s unchanged expression, Qin Qingwu’s heart felt chilled.

Qin Qingwu, Qin Qingwu, knowing it would come to this, why even ask?

Isn’t this just humiliating yourself?

She scolded herself internally, then raised her head to look at Li Chen, her dimples lightly swirling.

“I’m tired, going back to my room to rest!”

After saying this, she turned around and headed towards her room.

Watching Qin Qingwu’s retreating figure, Li Chen muttered to himself: What is this girl fretting about?

…

“Qingwu!”

Just as Qin Qingwu was about to enter her room, she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

She turned around to see that it was her father, Qin Tianlong.

“Dad, why haven’t you gone to sleep?”

Qin Tianlong said, “I went to check on your brother, just happened to pass by here!”

Finished speaking, his gaze shifted back in the direction Qin Qingwu came from, asking, “Did you just come from Li Chen’s place?”

Qin Qingwu nodded and replied, “Yes, why?”

Qin Tianlong looked around cautiously, ensuring no one was around, then lowered his voice, mysteriously asking, “Qingwu, tell your dad, how is your relationship progressing?

When will the marriage be settled?”

“Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?

I have nothing to do with him.

Besides, his heart isn’t with me!” Qin Qingwu said with a blushing face, feigning annoyance.

Qin Tianlong didn’t expect his daughter to react so strongly, quickly tugged her arm to keep her voice down.

“Qingwu, you have not known him for long.

Feelings need to be cultivated gradually, affection grows over time.

If you can form a union of lilies with him, it would be beneficial and harmless to both you and our Qin family!”

Hearing the last sentence, Qin Qingwu felt bitter inside.

She casually responded, saying she understood, then using “tiredness” as an excuse, turned around to go back to her room to rest.

Qin Tianlong mistakenly thought his daughter was just shy, didn’t think much of it, and went directly to his son Qin Feng’s room.

However, within just half a month, Qin Feng experienced great sorrow and joy in life.

After his arm was severed, although his father and the doctor tried their best to assure him it was fine, he knew well that he had become disabled and would never be able to step into the Grandmaster Realm.

At that time, he despised Li Chen to the core.

But when his father brought Li Chen’s Gathering Peak Pill to him, saying this pill could not only restore his arm but also help him break through the Life and Death Mysterious Gate and advance into the Grandmaster Realm, he found himself in an even more complex state of mind.

Hearing that Li Chen single-handedly defeated three Martial Arts Grandmasters on Yandang Mountain, a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

Even if he successfully became a Martial Arts Grandmaster, what then?

Would he still not be able to surpass Li Chen?

At this point, he no longer had much hatred for Li Chen.

It wasn’t that he was magnanimous, but rather that he couldn’t afford to hate.

If someone can lift you up, they can also bring you down.

Even your life and death are merely at their whim.

How can you then continue to hate?
