Free Web NovelChapter 2088: Chapter 2088: Su Chen, Struck Down!
The light only lingered for a moment before it was extinguished again.
The Flood Dragon in the water was slowly roaming about, as if this deep pool was its territory, and anyone who approached would suffer its fiercest attack!
Although everyone was eager to obtain that Supreme Treasure beneath the water, they were all waiting; after all, no one wanted to be cannon fodder.
"You’re Su Chen?"
Right at this moment, a voice that sounded a bit surprised yet a bit delighted rang out behind Su Chen.
Su Chen turned his head and saw a girl carved from pink jade, with arched willow-leaf brows, a slightly upturned delicate nose, cherry lips, and a petite figure.
Very cute, and very pretty.
But he did not know her.
"And you are?"
Su Chen asked with some doubt.
He searched his memories in his mind and finally confirmed that he really did not know this girl.
But as soon as the girl heard Su Chen’s words, she immediately jumped for joy:
"You really are Su Chen?!"
She looked as if she had just discovered a new continent!
But then, the girl propped up her chin, frowned slightly, tilted her head and began to scrutinize Su Chen.
"Doesn’t look like it! How could it be like this?"
She pouted as she spoke, like she was pondering a difficult problem.
Su Chen was also a bit dumbfounded by her; what on earth was with this girl?
How did she know his name?
And what did she mean by "doesn’t look like it"?
Judging from her appearance, she didn’t look like she had any mental problems!
"You really are Su Chen?"
The girl asked again.
Su Chen nodded:
"My name is indeed Su Chen, but whether I’m the person you’re talking about, that I don’t know."
"The name matches, and you look so similar, it can’t be wrong!"
Hearing this, the girl muttered again:
"But how could you only be Creation Realm Second Turn, that’s way too weak! And you’re not even particularly handsome."
When Su Chen heard this, he instantly felt a heavy blow!
Where did this little lass pop out from, does she not know how to talk properly!
But now was not the time to fuss over this; what he most wanted to know was how this girl knew his name.
Just as he was about to ask, the girl suddenly said:
"Sister Pei’s taste is really awful, actually liking a guy like you!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Chen’s body trembled violently, as if his head had been struck by lightning!
"What did you say?!"
Su Chen grabbed the girl’s somewhat slender arm in one go.
Sister Pei?
Could she be talking about...?
Su Chen didn’t dare think further; he was afraid he was overthinking it!
However, when strung together, her words forced him to think more!
From beginning to end, the ones he couldn’t let go of the most were the people in the manor!
"Su Chen, you’re hurting me."
The girl quickly cried out.
Hearing this, Su Chen hurriedly released her:
"Sorry, I got too emotional just now. The Sister Pei you mentioned is?"
"Of course it’s Sister Pei Man!"
The girl shot Su Chen a glance with her bright eyes and pouted.
It had to be said, this girl was indeed beautiful. That sideways glance, that little pout, actually carried a faint hint of allure.
Especially since she gave off a pure and cute vibe, that occasional trace of allure added a special flavor.
But for Su Chen, he had absolutely no mood to pay attention to this right now!
All he focused on was the name in her words!
Pei Man!
It really was her!
"You know Pei Man?"
Su Chen’s emotions surged so much that he couldn’t control himself!
He hadn’t expected to hear Pei Man’s name out of nowhere!
What could make him happier than this?!
"Of course. We’re from the same Sect, and we’re good sisters. Do you think I’d not know her?"
The girl said playfully.
From the same Sect?!
"Then which Sect are you from?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
Pei Man entering a Sect was a good thing; at least she had some protection for now.
"Piaomiao Sect."
Speaking of her Sect, the girl revealed a trace of pride.
Su Chen silently committed this name to memory.
"Right, how did you know about me?"
Su Chen asked very curiously.
"Obviously through Sister Pei Man."
The girl said:
"Actually, in the Cangxuan Territory, countless true heaven’s chosen are pursuing Sister Pei—some of them are those once-in-ten-thousand-years super geniuses! But Sister Pei isn’t moved at all. Others think she’s obsessed with Cultivation and doesn’t want to talk about romance between men and women, but I know her heart already belongs to someone."
"Sister Pei often stares off into space alone; I know she’s thinking about that person!"
The girl continued:
"Once, I saw Sister Pei painting alone. The painting was of a young man, so I asked who he was. Sister Pei said he was a scoundrel."
"From then on, I heard the name Su Chen. After that, Sister Pei told me many stories between you two, like how you forcefully and crudely took her first kiss, and how you took advantage of her many times on purpose when her legs were disabled, and many, many more!"
Hearing this, Su Chen touched his nose a bit embarrassed. Was he really that bad?
But thinking it over carefully, it seemed those things really did happen.
"Although Sister Pei mostly talked about all the bad things you did and sometimes gnashed her teeth, I could feel the happiness in her heart!"
Saying this, the girl glanced at Su Chen again:
"I originally thought that the one who could occupy the heart of someone as outstanding as Sister Pei would definitely be an extraordinary figure, but you’re actually only Creation Realm Second Turn."
In just a few lines, Su Chen had already been dealt two blows, and he said helplessly:
"Actually, my strength is not that bad."
"Tch, you really have no ambition. Creation Realm Second Turn and you’re already satisfied."
The girl rolled her eyes and bluntly said:
"This level of Cultivation might be fine in the outside world, but among the real geniuses of the Cangxuan Territory, it’s downright pathetic. How are you worthy of Sister Pei!"
"Wei’er, how did you end up here in the blink of an eye?"
Just then, a few people walked over. Judging from their clothing, they were quite extraordinary.
Especially the one in the middle, with long hair tied up, wearing a straight water-blue robe whose fabric was clearly exceptional.
At his waist hung two pieces of flawless jade, and in his hand he held a longsword, with several gems embedded just in the hilt alone.
"And this is?"
Then that man noticed Su Chen, frowned slightly and asked, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
"None of your business."
The girl said crossly.
"Wei’er, you’re still too young. In times like these, there are too many swindlers. You’re too simple; you need to be more careful."
The man wasn’t angered by the girl’s words, but instead spoke with implied meaning.
As for who he meant, it was naturally Su Chen.
