Chapter 111
Wang Xingping and Luo Feng
To sabotage a couple's relationship, especially when the target is someone like Xu Xin, who comes from a prominent family, the scheme couldn't be too obvious. Otherwise, it would arouse Xu Xin's suspicion! So, when An Shu arranged for this, he never intended to ruin things between Luo Feng and Xu Xin in one go. He planned to do it in stages. The first step was to make Xu Xin suspicious, then proceed gradually... He succeeded. This seemingly simple case of mistaken identity had already made Xu Xin suspicious. "Mistaken identity? Absolutely not. That woman just stared at Luo Feng intently to confirm his identity. How can she suddenly claim it was a mistake? Too fake." Xu Xin saw right through it. Luo Feng's expression was equally grim; he couldn't believe he was caught in such a messy situation. "My apologies, truly, a case of mistaken identity," the alluring woman apologized. "Sister, let's go." What could Luo Feng say? They had already claimed mistaken identity. "Ladies, please wait," Xu Xin interjected. Luo Feng paused, looking at Xu Xin. Xu Xin simply gazed up at the two women. "Oh, can we help you?" The two beauties turned to Xu Xin, the 'older sister' inquired. "You just said you ran into him for two consecutive days..." Xu Xin began. "The one we ran into wasn't your boyfriend," the older sister quickly said. "It was a male friend of mine, Dashan." Xu Xin nodded. "Dashan? Oh, you said two consecutive days, so you met this 'Dashan' yesterday too?" The 'older sister' and 'younger sister' exchanged glances. The older sister then looked at Luo Feng before smiling at Xu Xin. "Of course! It wasn't just a meeting; we spent the night together yesterday! My Dashan is quite impressive, you know. I wonder how your boyfriend measures up in that department." She then let out a slightly flirtatious laugh. "Spent the night? Oh, then you must have truly mistaken him for someone else. My boyfriend and I video chatted yesterday until very late, for a good three or four hours. There's no way he could have spent the night with anyone else," Xu Xin said with a faint smile. Instantly, the two beauties' expressions changed. Dammit! The plan had gone awry! The scheme hadn't accounted for Xu Xin and Luo Feng video chatting for so long into the night. The two women exchanged glances, a hint of panic in their eyes... The very first step of the plan had failed, meaning the supposed second and third steps wouldn't even get a chance to begin. The two beauties quickly mumbled a few words to Xu Xin, then turned and left immediately. ... As soon as the two beauties left, Luo Feng chuckled, looking at Xu Xin in surprise. "Xu Xin, we only video chatted for about an hour yesterday, didn't we? Why did you say three or four hours?" "Just to see their reaction, to bluff them a little. Their faces totally changed," Xu Xin replied with a slight smile. "If I'm not mistaken, these two women were probably arranged by my brother or one of the other young masters. But I have to admit, their tactics have improved this time." Indeed, the 'mistaken identity' act had genuinely made Xu Xin a bit suspicious. However, there was a loophole— Xu Xin had indeed video chatted with Luo Feng for about an hour last night, which made her question... Could Luo Feng have gone out for a fling after their late-night chat? That seemed unlikely. So, Xu Xin pressed them with a few questions and exaggerated the duration to three or four hours. The two women immediately felt exposed and fled in a panic. "Impressive, truly impressive," Luo Feng said, giving a thumbs-up. "Family matters are often quite messy. Sorry you had to witness that spectacle," Xu Xin apologized. Luo Feng suddenly let out a mischievous chuckle. "You just said... 'My boyfriend and I video chatted yesterday.' Oh... boyfriend... tsk tsk." Luo Feng wore a teasing grin. "Luo Feng, I didn't realize you could be so wicked! In that situation, what else was I supposed to say?" Xu Xin's face flushed slightly. ... Leaving the restaurant, it was already past eight in the evening, and darkness had fallen. Walking along the university town streets, Luo Feng escorted Xu Xin all the way to the Jiangnan University dormitory district. Despite the 'sabotage' by the two women, Luo Feng and Xu Xin's relationship had actually deepened. They occasionally teased each other, yet still hadn't officially defined themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend. The night was dim, dotted with stars. "You don't need to walk me further, I'll go in now," Xu Xin said, looking at Luo Feng. "Good luck at the Elite Training Camp." "Mm," Luo Feng nodded. Xu Xin's face was slightly flushed at the dormitory staircase entrance, whether from the red wine or something else, she didn't know. "I... I actually got so flustered and angry by what those women said at first. Why did I get so mad? Was it because of him... Could I really..." ... Luo Feng was walking through the dormitory district when he noticed several people under the shade of a tree ahead. "Luo Feng," someone called out from ahead. Luo Feng looked closely. There were six people under the tree. Leading them was a handsome, fair-skinned young master from a wealthy family. Behind him stood an old man and four burly men who, by their demeanor, were clearly Warriors. To employ four relatively powerful Warriors as bodyguards? This was no ordinary person. "I am Luo Feng. And you are?" Luo Feng asked, smiling at the young master. "My name is Wang Xingping, from Jingdu City!" The young master walked closer. "I came to see you for one piece of advice: you'd best stay away from Xu Xin!" "And if I don't?" Luo Feng challenged, looking at the young master. "Oh?" Wang Xingping raised an eyebrow. "I know who you are. The eldest direct descendant of the Wang family from Jingdu City, and the Wang family is one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance," Luo Feng stated, looking at him. Wang Xingping grinned. "Very good. I see you're a man who understands rules. Every place in this world has them, and what you need to do is play by them. If you break the rules and do things you shouldn't, the consequences... will be more than you can bear! Do you understand what I mean?" It was around eight or nine in the evening, the busiest time for people coming and going in the dormitory district. Many university students, snacking or out for a stroll, noticed Luo Feng and Wang Xingping's group as they passed by. After all, Wang Xingping's subordinates clearly weren't ordinary individuals. "Rules?" Luo Feng's eyes narrowed. Among the nine core families of the HR Alliance, the Wang family was the only one from Huaxia Nation, and its influence in the world of ordinary people was terrifying. Such a family's methods were beyond the imagination of common folk. "Luo Feng, you should know that people in this world aren't all the same." "Even though they preach equality for all." "Ultimately, people are not equal." "Some people are forced to obey laws and regulations, and even then, disaster can strike from above." "Others can have countless beautiful women, defy regulations, assault people, or even kill, and face no repercussions." "And then there are those... who can destroy a family with a single word. With a single word, they can grant a young person a brilliant future! Even Warriors must heed their commands." Wang Xingping stared at Luo Feng. "You should know what kind of person I am. And what kind of person you are!" In these words, his inherent arrogance was utterly undisguised! Luo Feng said nothing. ... While Luo Feng and Wang Xingping were talking, a couple was walking hand-in-hand not far from the dormitory district. "Tao Tao, I'm really sorry, but I'll probably be abroad for three whole years this time. Of course, I'll visit you during the New Year." The speaker was Heng Xia, who was about to depart with Luo Feng for the Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall's global headquarters. Holding his hand was his girlfriend, whom he'd been close with since high school. "Heng Xia, it's okay. We can meet often online. It's only three years; it'll pass quickly," the girl named Tao Tao said, squeezing Heng Xia's hand. Heng Xia was definitely a prominent figure at Jiangnan University. He was handsome, had an excellent temperament, and all the guys and girls who knew him thought highly of him. His family background was also good; his father was even a War God! His own strength was formidable, and he was about to enter the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo's 'Basic Training Camp.' Perhaps in the future, he too would become a War God! With his father already a powerful War God, countless girls pursued a young man like him. Tao Tao had faced considerable interference to be with Heng Xia. "But you can't be unfaithful," Tao Tao said, looking at Heng Xia. "Mm," Heng Xia nodded slightly. "Hmm, what's going on up ahead?" Heng Xia looked forward curiously. With his genius Warrior eyesight, he instantly recognized the figures in the distance. "Huh, isn't that Brother Luo Feng? What's Brother Luo Feng doing here?" "Tao Tao, I told you last time, there's another incredibly powerful Warrior going abroad with me this time, he's right there," Heng Xia said. "Where?" Tao Tao asked, very curious. "Come on, I'll introduce you," Heng Xia said with a smile. "Brother Luo Feng has a great temperament." ... Under the tree's shade. Wang Xingping glanced at Luo Feng. "You're a Beginner-tier War General, aren't you? These men are 100% loyal to my Wang family. Tell Luo Feng your combat ratings." "Mid-tier War General." "Mid-tier War General." "Mid-tier War General." Three burly men stated their ranks in low tones. When it was the last, a bald middle-aged man, he offered a slight smile. "High-tier War General! Young man, I advise you to be sensible. Even a War God wouldn't dare be so arrogant in front of the HR Alliance's nine core families. You have a bright future; don't ruin it yourself." Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile. "Young Master Wang, truly impressive. Four bodyguards: one High-tier War General, three Mid-tier War Generals." Young Master Li Wei, back then, had two High-tier War Generals and one Mid-tier War General. But Li Wei was dead. "Brother Wang, you're here too," a familiar voice rang out. Luo Feng turned his head, and Wang Xingping and his group also turned, seeing Heng Xia and his girlfriend Tao Tao. "It's Young Master Heng Xia," An Shu, the butler, whispered. The four bodyguards also smiled at Heng Xia. Wang Xingping smiled as he looked at Heng Xia. Heng Xia's father was a well-known War God in Jiangnan Base City, and due to his good nature and extensive connections, he had many sworn brothers among other War Gods. Even the Wang family had to be polite to a War God with such wide influence. Moreover, Heng Xia's talent was exceptional, and he was about to enter the Basic Training Camp. In the future, he might also become a War God. "Heng Xia, what a coincidence, you're here too," Wang Xingping said, his attitude towards Luo Feng completely gone, replaced by an approachable demeanor. "Haha, I saw Brother Luo Feng here earlier, didn't expect you, Brother Wang, to be here too," Heng Xia said, smiling at Luo Feng. "Brother Luo Feng, you know Brother Wang?" "Brother Luo Feng?" Wang Xingping's brow furrowed. Usually, one would only call someone 'Brother' if they were in the same Martial Arts Hall and considered themselves inferior! Heng Xia called Luo Feng 'Brother'? "Junior Brother Heng Xia, Wang Xingping and I just met; we're not very familiar," Luo Feng said with a slight smile. Heng Xia laughed heartily and quickly said to Wang Xingping, "Brother Wang, don't you love meeting talented Warriors? My Brother Luo Feng is much more impressive than me. This time, Brother Luo Feng will be going abroad with me, and he's entering the world's number one Elite Training Camp!" "Elite Training Camp?" Wang Xingping's heart suddenly trembled. Dammit! A spot in the Elite Training Camp was something even national armies fought to secure. Everyone who entered the Elite Training Camp would become a War God! Furthermore, the specialized training there would make these War Gods far more powerful in combat than those who trained on their own. Every Elite Training Camp cadet held an extremely high status. Even the HR Alliance's nine core families sought to win them over. This was because these cadets would become incredibly powerful themselves, and their fellow cadets were all the world's most monstrous talents. After graduation, every single one would be a War God! Their own strength, combined with such connections... every cadet would become a high-ranking official in the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, or a senior figure in a special department of the national government, or a specially invited high-level individual within the HR Alliance. They were absolutely at the pinnacle of existence! Even national governments treated these individuals with utmost deference. They truly were the big shots! Because these monstrous talents were also very smart, they naturally formed tight-knit groups! A single monstrously talented powerhouse was already incredibly strong, but dozens or hundreds of them banded together meant that if one faced trouble, others would come to their aid! This invisible underlying power was something no core family of the HR Alliance dared to offend. This was also why super-wealthy families desperately spent tens or hundreds of billions, pulling strings and seeking connections, all to get into this world's number one training camp! And these cadets... Might even become disciples of 'Hong' or 'Lei Shen'. "Damn it, he, Luo Feng actually got into..." Wang Xingping wanted to punch himself in the head. He was just an ordinary low-level Warrior; how did he suddenly... "Brother Luo Feng, Brother Wang is a really good guy and loves making friends," Heng Xia said, smiling at Luo Feng. Then he turned to Wang Xingping. "Brother Wang, how about you, Brother Luo Feng, and I find a place to chat later?" Heng Xia said, deliberately winking at Wang Xingping. In Heng Xia's view. He was doing Wang Xingping a huge favor. How many top-tier, monstrously talented Warriors like Luo Feng were there in the entire world? Opportunities to meet them weren't just handed out.
