Astral Flower

12. Chance Encounter



Not far away from Nan Hua, Long Qian Xing was dragged by Tian Lou to the café in the mall to discuss some things.

“Can’t you discuss this at home?” Long Qian Xing looked at Tian Lou with slight dissatisfaction.

“I can’t.” Tian Lou looked at Long Qian Xing bitterly. “If I dare to come to your home to discuss this matter, I’m afraid that my legs will be interrupted.”

Long Qian Xing looked at Tian Lou calmly. “What is it?”

“Young Master, do you know the group competition in the Virtual World?”

Long Qian Xing rarely entered the virtual world because he was busy with the matters in the real world, but it didn’t mean that he knew nothing. There were various activities in the Virtual World and naturally, he used to participate in them.

Competitions were common.

There were also many types of from. Starting from combat, arts, business, and many others. It was very convenient to use the Virtual World because they could meet with their virtual body and it looked like a meeting in the real world.

“Which one?”

“The group battle.” Tian Lou scratched the back of his head. “I need to finish at least one competition so that I can pass that demon Lu’s class. But I can’t find any teammate who hadn’t passed the class who want to be with me.”

In the last semester, Tian Lou’s luck was simply at the bottom. He matched against powerful team again and again, making him unable to win. In the end, his record was simply too bad that Teacher Lu swept him out and said that unless he could show good result, he would not be passed from this class.

Tian Lou was quite good alone, but his teammates dragged him down. Now, he couldn’t find good teammate for this competition.

Long Qian Xing glanced at Tian Lou. “What makes you think that I’m willing to accept this?”

Tian Lou closed his eyes and then shouted, “Dad! You have to help your son!”

“Scram! Lao Tzu had no son like you!” Long Qian Xing kicked Tian Lou. When Tian Lou lost the bet against him in the past, Tian Lou had to call Long Qian Xing as his father for a week. That week was simply the worst week for Tian Lou.

The two of them were against each other again and again before they somehow become good friends.

Sometimes, friendship could start from such a simple method.

“Come on, Dad! I’m willing to call you as Dad for a month!” Tian Lou made concession. There were already too many of Long Qian Xing’s son in the academy. Those who lost were forced to call Long Qian Xing as father.

Thus, many people were unwilling to challenge Long Qian Xing now.

They didn’t want to admit this damnable brat as their father.

Not to mention, after their real father heard about them calling another person as father, they were beaten up at home. They were not as good as Long Qian Xing and still had to be beaten up.

These people felt unloved.

“There’s no substantial gain for me even if you call me that way.” Long Qian Xing sneered. This damn Tian Lou had already called him ‘Dad’ every few weeks.

Tian Lou looked at Long Qian Xing sheepishly. He didn’t know what else he could do aside from asking Long Qian Xing.

Long Qian Xing snorted and turned his head to the side. It was then he noticed the three girls who were in the clothing shop right the opposite of this store. The girl in light blue dress looked inconspicuous, but somehow his eyes drifted towards her direction.

She was lowering her head while the two other girls looked arrogant. It seemed as if she was being bullied.

Long Qian Xing frowned imperceptibly.

He thought of his grandfather’s words about asking him to take care of his ‘supposed fiancée.’

If he was not wrong, Nan Hua’s grade was also very bad, right?

“How many students have not passed Demon Lu’s class?” Long Qian Xing suddenly asked. For him, Teacher Lu was not a demon because Teacher Lu personally called him devil. How many mischievous and arrogant things he did in the past… it had become the headache for the students in the academy.

“Huh, I don’t know. Why do you suddenly ask this?” Tian Lou didn’t know all the result of his classmates.

Long Qian Xing was about to ask about Nan Hua before recalling that she was four years younger than him. Even though they were in the same academy, Nan Hua was still under the High School section, which was different from their classes. It would be impossible for them to be in the same class together.

“What’s the requirement of the group battle participants?”

“As long as he or she is part of Military Academy A,” Tian Lou replied hurriedly.

“High School students in Military Academy A will do?”

High school student?

Tian Lou was a bit dazed when he heard Long Qian Xing’s words, but he still nodded his head. High school students under Military Academy A was naturally allowed to come, but not many people dared to sign up. After all, their opponents were those from other military academy and everyone could participate as long as they were below 25 years old.

“You…”

“I’ll try to ask someone first. If she agreed, I’ll participate in the competition.”
