Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Ruan Qing Arrives

So he’s after the Thundercloud Sword... Chen Fan revealed a smile and refused, "I appreciate the kindness, Miss, but if Ruan Qing really comes, I’ll take care of him myself."

Shangguan Yu didn’t expect Chen Fan to refuse, furrowing her brows slightly, "Your strength is indeed notable, and you are a person with exceptional talent, however, there’s a chasm between the seventh and eighth levels of the Transformation Realm, and their powers are worlds apart. You have no idea how terrifying Ruan Qing is, going up against him, you’re facing a certain death."

Chen Fan slightly lifted his head, "The things you’re talking about, I really don’t know, but I have confidence in my own strength."

In his battle with Zuo Qianqiu, his strength was still in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. Even so, he had not used his full power.

Even back then, facing this so-called fourth-ranked expert on the Heavenly List, Chen Fan wouldn’t have any fear—let alone now that he was at the peak of the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from reaching the later stages.

Shangguan Yu did not understand Chen Fan’s true strength, only thinking that he was blindly arrogant because of his extraordinary talent.

"This man is as unreasonably proud as I once was; achieving a little and thinking himself invincible, not knowing there are skies beyond skies, and people beyond people. If this attitude does not change, he is bound to suffer a great loss one day."

She reflected for a moment, then spoke again, "I can understand that you have your own pride, but too much rigidity leads to breakage. If you don’t heed advice, even with strong talents, I fear you won’t live to see the day you become a powerful figure."

"If you’re willing to heed my advice and give me the Thundercloud Sword, not only will I take care of Ruan Qing for you, but I will also make an exception and take you in as a junior. That way, even Blood Blade wouldn’t dare to touch you easily, how about it?"

Chen Fan laughed heartily, waving his hand, "No need, Miss, please return."

Having said that, he then turned and walked towards the edge of the rooftop, jumping down from where he had come up.

Shangguan Yu hurriedly took two steps forward, "You!"

Watching Chen Fan disappear into the night, she could only sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, this guy doesn’t know what’s good for him, I don’t need to rush to help him."

"I’ll stay on this island for the next couple of days. When Ruan Qing comes to kill, I’ll see how he performs and decide whether to intervene or not. If he comes to his senses in time, I might save his life. If he’s a blockhead, then when Ruan Qing kills him, I’ll just take the sword."

...

The next day.

Chen Fan and Tang Qingwu enjoyed leisure time with Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen.

After today, Chen Fan would follow Yang Wanli and Yang Tianzhen to the island where the Medicine Sect was located, while Tang Qingwu would return to the Tang Family, continuing to manage the family’s business.

Chen Fan could sense that Tang Qingwu cherished the chance to go out and enjoy herself, a luxury her position rarely afforded her, unlike other girls who could blissfully spend their youth. Hence, he did his best to keep her company and help her fully relax.

In the afternoon.

The four of them sat under the sunshade umbrellas of an open-air drink shop, sipping cold beverages and savoring the leisurely moment.

Not far away, a group of boys and girls who looked like students were stealthily eyeing Chen Fan who sat on the other side.

A boy wearing a baseball cap stole glances at Chen Fan and then, lowering his voice, said, "That’s the Chen Fan I told you guys about earlier, the one who took first place at the Martial Arts tournament. You didn’t see it, but that day, he held the Thunderclap Sword, and with a single chop, it was like the skies were covered and the winds were howling. I was sitting at the very edge of the stands, and I could barely breathe. The scene was simply something no special effects could replicate."

"I never imagined he would also come to play at Moon Island. I really want to go up and ask for his autograph."

The girls sitting with the boy all looked skeptical, clearly not quite believing his story.

"What you’re saying is just too far-fetched, a single person, how could they possibly do that sort of thing, have you been reading too many novels and fried your brain or something?"

"Exactly, that guy looks so ordinary, nothing like what you described. But the two misses sitting next to him are really pretty, I’ve no idea how someone like him could have such luck with the ladies."

"I think this Martial Arts tournament of yours is probably just a show, it could only fool a fool like you."

...

Several girls expressed their opinions one after another, not a single one believed the boy’s words.

Among these people, only the boy wearing a duckbill cap had some Martial Arts background in his family; the others were all ordinary people who had never seen a true Martial Arts expert.

A boy laughed and patted the duckbill cap boy on the shoulder, "You should play some games with me when you’re free, stop daydreaming all the time, you’re almost going crazy."

The boy, seeing that they didn’t believe him, felt very stifled inside, but also didn’t know how to argue back, so he could only snort silently, "Forget it if you don’t believe."

Chen Fan, who was sitting at a distance, took a sip of his drink, an inexplicable smile appearing on his face.

After reaching the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, his Divine Sense had also greatly improved, and now it could cover a radius of a hundred meters.

He had just been releasing his Divine Sense, observing the nearby people, and happened to overhear the conversation of those students.

"Being a bit naive isn’t necessarily a bad thing," Chen Fan thought to himself.

"I wonder when Ruan Qing will choose to strike at me, Miss Shangguan mentioned that this person’s nickname is ’Blood Blade’, sounding like someone who wouldn’t face their enemy head-on. Perhaps he’ll choose to attack me when I’m unprepared, with an ambush."

If it had been only Chen Fan himself, he wouldn’t have been so vigilant, but with Tang Qingwu and the other two following him, he had to be cautious.

He carefully watched every person who entered the range of his Divine Sense, trying to determine if any of them were Ruan Qing in disguise.

After a while, a man who looked completely ordinary, bargaining with a stall owner, caught Chen Fan’s attention.

Ordinarily, there was nothing unusual about this man, but Chen Fan’s Divine Sense was detailed and thorough, and no small movement of any person could escape his sight.

During the bargaining process, this man covertly glanced over in Chen Fan’s direction more than a dozen times without leaving a trace.

Chen Fan noticed the malice and killing intent in the man’s eyes, which an ordinary person couldn’t possibly have.

Moreover, Chen Fan’s Divine Sense penetrated the man’s clothes and discovered a tattoo of a sinister-looking serpent on the man’s back.

This person must be Ruan Qing!

Chen Fan’s lips slightly curved up, and then he stood up and said to Tang Qingwu and the others, "Wait here for me a moment, I’ve got something to take care of."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards a sparse grove not far away.

The man, upon seeing this, immediately placed the item he was holding down and followed Chen Fan towards the grove.

This scene was coincidentally witnessed by a duckbill cap boy who had been paying attention to Chen Fan.

"That guy, seems to have some ill intentions," he muttered to himself, then his eyes flickered, suddenly he stood up and said to his companions, "Quick, come with me!"
