Chapter 183: An Urgent Situation

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

This claw clearly came from a distance that was over twenty meters away, but it was as if this distance didn’t exist between these two people.

Du Yu’s large hand spread open, and an enormous palm was formed from a mass of golden light. It pierced and tore the air, penetrating through the distance of twenty meters.

This was the Hand of the Weaving Crane Captures Dragons. When Du Yu used it, its might was much stronger than when Xing Wuyi used it during the day by who how much, Even a steel plate a foot thick wouldn’t remain intact after the strike.

Big Bro Zhan raised his left arm very casually. At the same time, he extended his index finger to gently tap this golden palm of energy.

A rumbling sound rang out as the finger collided with the palm. Big Bro Zhan wasn’t sent flying by this palm of incomparable might. The finger of the arm he raised gave one the image of a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

However, the instant this finger made contact with the golden palm of energy, the same thing happened to the palm as with the crystal coffin. It disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared in the first place.

Du Yu was stupefied. Though he hadn’t used his full strength in this palm strike, it was strike he made to feel out his opponent. However, he never expected that his opponent would casually dispel it with just a lift of his hand.

Within Du Yu’s cognition, the only person who Du Yu knew could dispel his Hand of the Weaving Crane Captures Dragons so easily would be Du Hen.

Before his eyes, the man dressed in black emitted a young aura from his body. Du Yu could feel that his opponent shouldn’t be too old.

Du Yu was incapable of accepting it. He was incapable of accepting that a young man could dispel his Hand of the Weaving Crane Captures Dragons was just the tap of his finger!

“What… what sort of martial arts do you use?”

“The Unfixed Finger of Great Wisdom.”

Du Yu was shocked once more by Big Bro Zhan’s indifference attitude. The Unfixed Finger of Great Wisdom! One of the ultimate martial arts of the Sacred Martial Hall! How could he speak of it in such an indifferent manner? It was as if he was talking about the Arhat Fist or the Flood Fist.

Big Bro Zhan carried Du Zhanpeng, turning around once more to walk to the exit of the funeral hall. At this time, his voice echoed in the ear of Du Yu, who wanted to continue fighting.

“You are no match for me. Even if you activate your biochemical beast, it is useless. You cannot defeat Du Hen, so naturally, you cannot defeat me.”

His voice stopped ringing in Du Yu’s ear, and Big Bro Zhan and the people he brought with him had already faded into the darkness outside the funeral hall.

Du Yu stared at the dark curtain of night, dazed. If he immediately mobilized the influence of the Du Family, perhaps he could stop these people, or at the very least, find their whereabouts.

It was just that doing so would expose the Du Family’s strength before other people’s eyes. They would probably need to use up quite a bit of strength in order to capture Big Bro Zhan and the others.

Du Yu sighed. The man called Big Bro Zhan… just how old was he? Was he really that young? He even addressed Du Yu’s father personally, a taboo. Could it be that they knew each other? Or did he believed that he possessed strength not inferior to that of the Du Family?

Du Yu sighed once more before taking large strides to enter the dark curtain of night. He needed to report the things he had just encountered to his father.

Part Two: Meeting the Family Head

The second day. There was no news of the matter of the Du Family losing Du Zhanpeng’s corpse. It was as if nothing had happened.

Everything continued to go on as before.

Qin Fen stayed at the military camp for three days in a row. He sat behind closed doors, stabilizing his foundation now that he had entered the meteor level. This was to avoid any careless mistakes, to avoid falling down from the meteor level again. If that were to happen, he really wouldn’t have the confidence to slaughter his way back to the meteor level.

He slowly opened his eyes and spat out a breath of air. That air, akin to an arrow, caused the bed to slightly rock with its gale.

He extended a hand and unplug his cell phone, which had long since been fully charged, out from the electrical outlets. Qin Fen then pressed the on button.

Not one of his many days on Happy Paradise Island in training contained a day with a decent hot bath or shower. Needless to say, they didn’t have any electrical charging installations.

This ancient cell phone of Qin Fen’s had already been out of electricity for nearly three weeks.

Beep beep… beep beep… beep beep….

The cell phone turned on, and the sound of text messages immediately rang without end.

Qin Fen felt very apologetic when he heard the sounds of these text message notifications. He had disappeared out of thin air for three weeks. Song Jia probably was worried, right? He guessed that of the messages she left behind, she would start out with the sentence, “I’m very displeased.”

It seems that the cell phone rang out with the text message notifications a total of two hundred or more times. Only then did it truly stop.

Qin Fen opened up the text message up and was a bit shocked when he saw who had sent some of the text messages. About half of these text messages came from Lin Liqiang, while the other half came from Song Jia.

Qin Fen first opened Lin Liqiang’s text messages without any hesitation. This good friend of his absolutely wouldn’t give him forty-two fifty text messages for no reason. In addition, Lin Liqiang had sent him text messages without end each day.

The exception was if there was something urgent.

“Bro, your girlfriend is almost long gone.”

“Why don’t you turn on your cell phone? Song Jia is about to be someone else’s girlfriend.”

“Hurry up and turn on your phone! Old Enz said that you went to training, what dick hair place are you at? You’re not even allowed to turn on your cell phone?”

“Give me a reply at once when you see my messages. Lady Song Jia really can’t cover herself this time.”

“Song Jia cried. This is the first time I’ve seen her cry. Hurry up and reply to me!”

Qin Fen didn’t continue looking through Lin Liqiang’s text messages. He opened the text messages that someone just sent.

“Qin Fen, my dad wants to see you.”

“Qin Fen, my dad wants to see you.”

“Qin Fen, where are you?”

“Qin Fen, hurry up and appear, okay?”

“Qin Fen….”

There was no talk about being pleased nor displeased. From the latter text messages, Qin Fen could feel that Song Jia was so worried that she was crying.

The two most recent text messages were actually sent yesterday.

The remaining one hundred text messages are all from the telecommunications company. It was the secretary function that occurred when the cell phone was turned off. If someone were to call when the cell phone was turned off, the secretary function would help the user record. When the user opened his cell phone, he would see text message indications about the time and the number of the callers.

Lin Liqiang and Song Jia occupied half of the calls.

He quickly dialed Lin Liqiang’s phone number. Before Qin Fen could even speak, he heard Lin Liqiang’s voice come from the other end of the phone. He had never heard him so urgent before. “Where are you? Do you need to take a leave of absence? I’ll help you put in a request. Tell me where you are. I’ll think of a way to borrow a plane to pick you up.”

Qin Fen was aware that the situation was serious to be able to force Lin Liqiang to go borrow an airplane to pick someone up. He promptly used the briefest of words to say, “Shengjing, Zhongzhou.”

“What? Where are you?”

Lin Liqiang’s voice came from the other end of the phone. It was a questioning tone, as if he didn’t dare believe it.

“Shengjing, Zhongzhou.”

“Excellent! It looks like you’ve already know what’s going on from Song Jia. Then hurry up and get here!”

“Know what?” Qin Fen quickly walked to the exit of the military camp. “I just opened my cell phone, and you are the first I called.”

“Then how are you at…? Forget it! This is important.” Lin Liqiang urgently said, “Report your specific location. I will go dispatch someone to pick you up right now.”

“Shengjing, Zhongzhou. The military camp of the Iron Guard. I’m just outside the entrance.”

“Excellent. Just stand there and don’t move an inch. I will immediately come pick you up myself.” Lin Liqiang’s urgent footsteps could be heard through the phone. He also said, “Oh, right. You should immediately give Song Jia a call. Tell her not to worry. You are already at Shengjing, Zhongzhou, and you will immediately go see her.”

The cell phone then rang with the beep-beep of the busy signal.

Qin Fen then called Song Jia’s number.

Things were different from when he called Lin Liqiang. After the call with Song Jia out went through, it was an abnormal silence from the other end. If it weren’t for the lack of the call back tone, and the fact that he could hear the sound of breathing coming from the other end, Qin Fen would have suspected that his cell phone was broken.

“This is… Qin Fen….”

“…” The other end of the phone was just as silent as before.

“I’m sorry. I should’ve turned on my cell phone three days ago….”

“…” The other end of the phone remained just as silent.

“I am at Shengjing, Zhongzhou. Young Master Lin is rushing over to pick me up.”

“….”

“Can you tell me what happened?”

“Qin Fen…” Song Jia’s sobbing voice suddenly rang from the receiver. “Where did you go? Where in the world did you go…”

An ache swept Qin Fen’s heart. Song Jia was quite a strong girl, and he understood that very well. It was his mistake to let a girl sob through her words.

“We can talk about my stuff later. Can you first tell me what in the world happened?” Qin Fen used the most gentle of tones to softly reply.

“I don’t know how, but father found out about you and me.” Song Jia was unable to act as reserved as she was in the past. “He doesn’t approve of what’s going on between us. Because of this, I’ve argued with father a few times. None of it has born fruits. It wasn’t long ago that father decided to shift the selection ahead of time…”

“Selection?”

“That is… the selection of the partner to marry me.” Song Jia urgently said, “In short, you need to come quickly! There are quite a few people who have come this time. I…”

In this instant, Qin Fen finally understood the big picture of why Song Jia was so anxious.

Song Wendong was known as the Earth Martial God. His position in the Federation was even higher than that of the president. How would such a family approve of their own granddaughter, their own daughter, to be with a kid who possessed no background?

Though the concept of matching families in terms of social status was from feudal times, this concept still existed in the global era and even the modern interstellar era.

The higher the status of the clan, the greater the lack of change with the concept of having families that are well-matched in terms of social status, even with the changing of times.

On the contrary, this concept would engender in them a sense of superiority. A sense of superiority that they were above this era, that they were different from ordinary people.

At this time, Song Jia was flying saucer model super maglev sports car came rushing through the air, creating steam from the friction. It stopped just before Qin Fen.

The door to the car opened, and Lin Liqiang gave a very straightforward wave of a hand. “Hurry up.”

His voice fell, and the sirens of police maglev cars came from the distance. Along with the police sirens were yells from the loudspeaker. “The supercar ahead. Immediately drop to the ground. You have already violated the speed limit….”

“You sped?” Qin Fen sat into the car.

Lin Liqiang pointed to the skies. “I was at an altitude of three thousand meters when I sped. There aren’t any airplanes there, nor are there any flying cars. Let alone any pedestrians….”

The instant the door to the car closed, Qin Fen felt an enormous sensation of his back being pressed against his chair. The car charged to an altitude of three thousand meters, dragging a long stream of air behind its body as it shot off to the distance.

“Motherfucker. Big families sure are troublesome.” Lin Liqiang opened his chatterbox of a mouth. “I really don’t know whether they are choosing a celebrity or a son-in-law. They are even doing some sort of primary selection, secondary selection, and final selection. If you were three more days late with opening your cell phone, then everything between you and Song Jia, this girl, would’ve disappeared up in smoke. Don’t believe that she is a very strong girl. This girl pretends to be an arrogant princess for the sake of scaring the marriage proposals selected by her family. When faced with Song Wendong, she really can’t fight back at all.”

Qin Fen nodded his head, understanding the situation very well. To be known as the Earth Martial God… it would be strange for such a person to not have a bit of authority.

“It’s just…” Lin Liqiang patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. “Bro, real talk. You will probably suffer true hardships with what comes next. There is nothing that can be done about it. Who made you choose Song Jia to be the target of your love? Big families sure are troublesome.”
