A Dirty Trick

It was already evening, and Luo Feng walked along the street. Being a university town, the surrounding streets were filled almost exclusively with young male and female students. “Hello.” Luo Feng dialed Xu Xin’s number. “It’s me, Luo Feng!” Last night, Luo Feng had video chatted with Xu Xin for quite a while, and he had told her he would come to see her this evening. “Chunwangang? The intersection? Alright, I’ll wait for you there.” Luo Feng hung up and quickly arrived at the Chunwangang Intersection. The greenery around the intersection was well-maintained. Luo Feng leaned against a lamppost, waiting silently, his mind replaying the words his good friend Wei Wen had spoken earlier. Those words had resonated deeply with Luo Feng. “Indeed, it’s all about status!” “When I first met Xu Xin’s brother, Xu Gang, he looked down on me, telling me to stay away from his sister. In his eyes, I was just a new Warrior, unworthy of his sister!” “That Young Master Li Wei also saw me as a nobody. If I were a Wargod, or the child of one, he probably wouldn’t have dared to lay a hand on me.” Of course, Young Master Li Wei’s indulgence in letting his subordinates try to kill Luo Feng ultimately cost Li Wei his life. “And if I were to become an existence beyond a Wargod, comparable to Councilor Zhu, how would the Vulture and Scorpion dare to put an exorbitant bounty on my head?” People live in different circles, and their status varies accordingly. In a university, among students, a Warrior or the child of a wealthy family might be considered high status. Looking at the entire Jiangnan Base City, a Beginner Tier Wargod is a force to be reckoned with! Globally, peak Wargod-tier powerhouses, like the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’s Inspectors, are renowned worldwide. And existences beyond Wargods, like Councilor Zhu or the lofty Patrol Inspectors of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo—even colossal entities like national governments show deference to them. As for so-called corporate families, they are simply a joke. Worldly wealth and power have very little influence on such beings. “Existences beyond Wargods are exceedingly rare across the globe.” “My first goal now is to become a high-level Wargod-tier psychic as quickly as possible! Then, what would I have to fear from the Vulture and Scorpion?” To achieve what he desired and do what he wished, he needed to attain sufficiently high status! A true peerless powerhouse, like Hong, needed only a single word, and countless factions across Earth would scramble to do his bidding. This was status! … At the Jiangnan University campus gate. “Xu Xin, aren’t you coming to dinner with us?” Several female classmates looked at Xu Xin, who was not far away. Xu Xin waved with a smile, “I have other plans; I’m eating out tonight.” With that, Xu Xin walked towards the Chunwangang Intersection, not far from the Jiangnan University campus gate, to meet Luo Feng. Meanwhile, her female classmates… “Hmm?” One girl with big eyes picked up her seemingly high-end phone and aimed it at Chunwangang in the distance. “Look, look, Xu Xin is with a guy!” the big-eyed girl exclaimed. Logically, the campus gate and Chunwangang Intersection were about five hundred meters apart; the naked eye could never discern what someone looked like from five hundred meters away. However, phone technology is incredibly advanced these days. Her phone had photo and video capabilities, and the one in the big-eyed girl’s hand could even capture faces from a thousand meters away. “Oh, it’s true!” The other girls leaned in to look. “He seems pretty good-looking, quite handsome.” “Oh no, I forgot something in the classroom! You guys go eat first; I’ll catch up later.” The big-eyed girl immediately ran back into the school, quickly reaching a deserted corner of the sports field. She pulled out her phone and instantly sent the short video she had just recorded. … In a suite at a high-end hotel not far from Jiangnan University, a young man in a bathrobe lay on a single sofa. A seductive woman, also in a bathrobe, was massaging him, while an innocent-looking girl squatted, gently massaging his legs and chatting and laughing with him. Suddenly, his phone rang. “Hello.” The young man picked up the phone. “Young Master Wang, Xu Xin went out to dinner with a guy I don’t recognize. I’ve already sent you the video.” “Oh.” The young man frowned slightly. “Hmm, you did well.” After speaking, the young man pulled up the video and watched it carefully. The scene of Luo Feng and Xu Xin meeting was crystal clear. The young man frowned slightly. “It’s Luo Feng? I didn’t expect Luo Feng to come all the way to the university town just to see Xu Xin. It seems his relationship with Xu Xin is far from ordinary!” “You two, leave.” The young man waved his hand. “Send Uncle An in.” “Yes, Young Master.” The two women obediently withdrew. Soon, an elderly butler in a sharp suit walked in and bowed slightly. “Young Master.” “Uncle An.” The young man stood up, frowning. “Xu Xin just went out to dinner with that Luo Feng.” “Luo Feng?” The butler, Uncle An, was surprised. He knew very well that Young Master Wang Xingping had specifically transferred from Jingdu City to Jiangnan Base City for university to gain an advantage by being close to Xu Xin. Moreover, information on any man who was even slightly close to Xu Xin was on file, and Luo Feng’s information was naturally among them. Not only that— three of Xu Xin’s female classmates had been bribed! And around Jiangnan University, there were over a hundred subordinates working for his young master! “Sabotaging their relationship should be simple, right?” Wang Xingping said coldly. “He’s just a Warrior. Uncle An, I’m entrusting this task to you. First, find out where they’re eating tonight. You don’t need me to tell you what to do next, do you? I have only one demand—” “Break them up!” Butler Uncle An pondered for a moment, then nodded. “I’ll arrange it immediately!” “Good.” Wang Xingping waved his hand. The butler respectfully withdrew. Just a moment later, in another executive suite in the same hotel, Butler Uncle An was looking at two young women he had just brought in. Both were quite seductive, the kind that could easily stir primal urges. “Your target is him!” Butler Uncle An pointed at the screen beside them, which displayed photos of Luo Feng and Xu Xin. “His name is Luo Feng, his hometown is Yangzhou City in Jiangnan Base City. His phone number is… Memorize all this information, and save his phone number to your phones.” “Yes,” the two beauties obediently nodded. “Here’s the plan; read it carefully.” With that, Butler Uncle An lightly tapped the laptop keyboard, and a detailed plan appeared on the wall screen. After reading it, the two women exchanged glances. “Uncle An, we understand.” “Good. Luo Feng is currently at the Yinuo Restaurant, not far from here. Go.” Butler Uncle An instructed, watching the two women leave. He then looked at the plan on the screen and couldn’t help but shake his head. “Luo Feng, you’re a diligent Warrior. But unfortunately, Xu Xin is someone our Young Master has set his sights on. You’re not worthy of touching her.” … Yinuo Restaurant, a restaurant with a distinct ambiance near Jiangnan University, had music flowing like a babbling brook, making the atmosphere serene. Luo Feng and Xu Xin sat in a corner, candles flickering on their table—a classic ‘candlelit dinner.’ At Luo Feng and Xu Xin’s request, the three tables closest to them were empty, ensuring no one would disturb them. “You’re going there on the 28th?” Xu Xin pursed her lips. “Well, that’s good news for you. I’ve heard that if you can get into that training camp, known as the world’s number one, becoming a Wargod is a certainty… A future Wargod, let me congratulate you in advance.” She raised her glass slightly. The glasses held low-alcohol red wine. “Thank you.” Luo Feng also smiled and raised his glass. After a light sip, Luo Feng and Xu Xin chatted idly, sometimes about the complex relationships within Xu Xin’s family, sometimes about Luo Feng’s family situation. They both enjoyed the conversation. Although their current situation resembled that of a couple, neither had yet defined their relationship. “Sis, was that guy yesterday really that good?” “Sis, why would I lie to you? I’ve had my share of one-night stands and been with many men, but last night’s guy was truly amazing… Phew, tsk tsk, I’m still itching for him just thinking about it. I’ll find him again in a couple of days.” “You have his phone number?” “While he was asleep last night, I used his phone to call mine. I saved the number.” At a table next to Luo Feng and Xu Xin, two rather pretty women were whispering, but the restaurant was so quiet that Luo Feng and Xu Xin heard them clearly. They exchanged a strange smile, surprised to overhear such a conversation. Luo Feng and Xu Xin continued chatting. About half an hour later. “Sis, let’s go.” The pair of ‘sisters’ finally stood up. Suddenly, the ‘older sister’ walked a few steps, then stepped back, scrutinizing Luo Feng. She exclaimed in surprise, “Oh, it really is you! I thought it might be you from behind, but it was too dim to see clearly. Now that I look closely, it truly is you. We’re really fated, meeting two days in a row.” “Sis, who is he?” the younger sister asked, puzzled. “Meeting two days in a row? Miss, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen you before.” Luo Feng looked at the seductive woman. “You’ve mistaken me for someone else, haven’t you?” “Oh—” The seductive woman looked closely, then glanced at Xu Xin beside him, and quickly said, “I’ve mistaken you, I’ve mistaken you. My apologies.” This scene made Xu Xin frown. Xu Xin detested one-night stands, and this unfolding scene couldn’t help but make her suspect if Luo Feng was involved with this seductive woman. After all, Warriors often risked life and limb, and it was common for them to indulge in some pleasure with beautiful women after earning money. In the past, Xu Xin had always believed Luo Feng wasn’t that kind of person. But now, this scene…
