Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Miss Xia
Regarding the upcoming Jiangnan City Ancient Martial Arts Family Ring Boxing Match, Huang Xiaolong has already heard about it from Sun Hu, but he, being carefree, did not take it to heart at all.
Sun Hu voiced his anxiety. “Master Long, I have this unsettling feeling about things. It has been many days since you personally killed Wei Feiyang, the young master of the Wei Family, but there has been not a single reaction from the Wei Family. The current head of the Wei Family is said to be in Jiangnan City, and he is known to be someone who holds grudges. He has been silent, it’s obvious he’s brewing some sly plot…Also, our enemies, who vowed to annihilate our Sun Family, still haven’t moved. I wonder if they have already arrived in Jiangnan City…”
Huang Xiaolong waved this worry aside nonchalantly. “It doesn’t matter, when the time comes, I’ll fight for the Sun Family. After all, I am now a part of the Sun Family… He he he~~~”
As he was speaking, Huang Xiaolong glanced at Sun Wei who was sitting beside him, her cheeks rosy with shyness.
These past few days, after being pampered by Huang Xiaolong, Sun Wei became more beautiful and enchanting.
The relationship between Huang Xiaolong and Sun Wei was widely known within the Sun Family. Indeed, Huang Xiaolong was already a part of the Sun Family- a son-in-law. This fact was like an assurance pill for the people of the Sun family.
In the afternoon, Jin Mengqi took the initiative to call Huang Xiaolong.
“Huh? What are you calling me for?” said Huang Xiaolong with a playful smile. “Have you decided to call out to me? Then hurry up. Your voice is so pleasant, I’m sure it will sound amorous.”
“Um~~~~” Jin Mengqi stalled awkwardly on the other end of the line, then gently said, “Master Huang, you’re joking.”
“Oh, so you’re planning to back out on your promise now?” Huang Xiaolong said, his voice filled with displeasure.
“This…This…Master Huang…Miss Ying Aoshan…she warned me…” Jin Mengqi complained.
“Well, don’t worry about her. Her warnings mean nothing. Go ahead and call out to me~~~” Huang Xiaolong said with bubbling interest.
Jin Mengqi had never been teased by a man like this before, but she still could not get angry. An odd feeling that was hard to explain rose in her heart… “Master Huang…can we…can I have some time to prepare for…this?”
“You need to prepare yourself? Alright then.” Huang Xiaolong, perplexed, thought about how the girls in those movies don’t need to prepare themselves before they call out.
“Master Huang, can I invite you to dinner tonight?” Jin Mengqi asked in a flattering tone.
She paused, worried Huang Xiaolong might refuse outright. So she decided to add, “Master Huang, I hear you are representing the Sun Family in this year’s Ancient Martial Arts Boxing Tournament…Are you clear about the details and all the rules of the tournament? How about I explain them to you over dinner tonight? And another thing, Master Huang, lately a lot of ancient martial arts practitioners have flooded into Jiangnan City. Our Jin Family has lots of first-hand information…”
“I honestly don’t care about any of this…” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “But since Old Master Jin is my disciple, I’ll give you some face and accept your invitation.”
“Thank you, Master Huang! Thank you, Master Huang!” Jin Mengqi said, overwhelmed.
She had made two calls to Huang Xiaolong, and the attitudes in the two calls were worlds apart!
By evening.
Huang Xiaolong, alone, took a taxi to the meeting place he had arranged with Jin Mengqi.
Jin Mengqi had been waiting for quite some time already.
Today, Jin Mengqi put in extra effort to dress up. She wore a tightly tailored professional suit, her brows were like ink, her nose and mouth refined, her melon-seed face exquisite. Combined with her porcelain-like skin, her beauty surpassed many popular actresses of the time.
Moreover, Jin Mengqi possessed a secret weapon – her voice! With a tone more beautiful than a voice actor, it was full of magnetic charm!
“Master Huang~~” The moment she saw Huang Xiaolong, Jin Mengqi approached him with tiny steps, “Master Huang, today Mengqi selected a restaurant with antique charm. I wonder if Master Huang likes it.”
“Oh, I don’t mind.” Huang Xiaolong lifted his gaze and saw a two-story wood structure resembling an antique restaurant, it carried a distinctive old-world charm.
The two of them entered the restaurant, which resembled an ancient building.
The restaurant’s decoration was not extravagant, yet clean and tidy, designed extremely gracefully. A pleasant ancient melody permeated the restaurant, which seemed to be played by a Guzheng, adding refinement and elegance to its aesthetic.
Huang Xiaolong’s gaze swept across, noticing that most people eating in the restaurant were calm, with sharp gazes. Some even had slightly bulging temples, clearly indicating they were practitioners of martial arts.
Noticing Huang Xiaolong’s slight reaction, Jin Mengqi hurriedly explained. “Master Huang, with the martial art competition drawing near, more and more martial artists have poured into Jiangnan City. This restaurant, with its simplicity and antiquity, has become a favorite gathering place for these martial artists. Here, Master Huang, I have already reserved a seat.”
The restaurant didn’t have private rooms, hence they sat by the window on the second floor. Huang Xiaolong casually ordered a few dishes.
Jin Mengqi served Huang Xiaolong very enthusiastically, helping him with food and wine, making Huang Xiaolong feel that this dinner was indeed a pleasure.
“Master Huang, you probably haven’t participated in Jiangnan City’s traditional martial arts family competition, have you?” Jin Mengqi asked with a smile.
“Oh, no.” Huang Xiaolong replied casually while enjoying his meal.
“This year’s competition is the largest in scale… In recent years, the national martial arts families have been thriving with talent, achieving an unprecedented golden age…” Jin Mengqi chatted away. “Among them, the highly recommended families are Wei family, Hong family, Xia family…”
At this point, a cool feminine voice echoed from the staircase. “Thank you, Miss Jin Mengqi for thinking highly of my Xia family.”
Huang Xiaolong and Jin Mengqi looked in the direction of the voice, seeing a beautiful woman in her twenties, with a chilly demeanor, slowly approaching.
Huang Xiaolong had seen her before. It was “Miss Xia”, who Wei Feiyang was desperately trying to please the night he got beaten to death. She was a martial arts Grandmaster and much stronger than Jin Mengqi. However, she only managed to condense 2 streams of True Qi in her body, and was no match for Ying Aoshan and her peers.
“xia Ying… Miss Xia…” Upon seeing Miss Xia, Jin Mengqi revealed a trace of apprehension, which passed swiftly. She regained her composure and responded politely with a smile. “Miss Xia, what a coincidence.”
“Indeed, quite a coincidence.” That Miss Xia, ‘Xia Ying’, didn’t spare Jin Mengqi a second glance. Her deep beautiful eyes stared at Huang Xiaolong, as if trying to see through all his secrets. She even walked directly over and sat beside Huang Xiaolong. “You still have the appetite to eat here? Don’t you know that the Wei brothers, Wei Feilong, Wei Feihu, and Wei Feibao, will return from overseas and arrive in Jiangnan City tonight? After you killed Wei Feiyang, the Wei family will not let things rest. They might take action immediately, or challenge you fair and square on the day of the competition. In any case, you’ve already started a feud with the Wei Family that will not end until one side is destroyed!”
“Oh~~,” Huang Xiaolong replied nonchalantly. “I really don’t care when the Wei Family will make their move. Wei Feilong, Wei Feihu, Wei Feibao? Such cheesy names…hahaha~~~It seems the death of Wei Feiyang isn’t enough for the Wei Family; they need to lose a few more people~~”
“You… haven’t you heard of the reputation of the three heroes of the Wei family?” Miss Xia asked in surprise.
