Chapter 338: Chapter 281: Great Sun Buddha: A Bit of a Story

This chill was very real.

As real as if a pair of resentful eyes were staring at him.

Gao Neng shook his head. ’A hallucination. It must be a hallucination.’ He didn’t dwell on it, quickly passing through the main gate and walking in with his head held high.

As soon as he entered the Special Affairs Research Institute, Gao Neng saw that it wasn’t just him, Shen Ning’Er, and the others. A crowd of young people was already waiting inside.

Moreover, Gao Neng spotted a few familiar faces.

For example, Cheng Cai and Qu Ran from the Huashan Ancient Sect, as well as Wang Jun, the son of Vice Commander Wang, whom Gao Neng had challenged at the Eastern Capital Military District.

The arrival of Gao Neng and Shen Ning’Er naturally drew everyone’s attention.

Wang Jun nodded at Gao Neng and took the initiative to greet Shen Ning’Er, Fang Tangtang, and Lin Ying. After all, they were all affiliated with the Military Department.

Cheng Cai and Qu Ran, however, turned their heads away.

Gao Neng wasn’t surprised.

He and Shen Ning’Er had caused a bit of a stir at the Huashan Ancient Sect last time, so it was only normal for Cheng Cai and Qu Ran to hold some resentment toward them.

’But since everyone is here...’

’This comprehensive examination and study must be for everyone, not just a special case.’ Thinking this, Gao Neng felt a sense of relief.

Everyone was getting checked.

There probably wouldn’t be any problems.

Just as he was thinking this, a cold snort came from behind him. Then, a familiar chill once again rose up his back.

"Huh?" Gao Neng turned around.

A man and a woman had followed him in, one right after the other.

The man was about twenty years old, with sharp brows and bright eyes. His hair wasn’t black but brown, and he had a pair of deep, aquamarine eyes.

He was of mixed-race descent.

Though not as handsome as Gao Neng, he was still quite good-looking.

Of course, after the Great Cataclysm and the establishment of the Alliance, terms like "mixed-race" and "foreigner" had gradually faded away. Everyone belonged to the Alliance.

Gao Neng knew this man.

He had seen him in a video. It was none other than the S-rank genius who had fought a great battle with Lin Ying, formerly ranked 29th on the Dragon List—Yi Qingge.

And unlike Cheng Cai.

Cheng Cai had performed far below his usual standard in his battle with Shen Ning’Er and was ultimately stripped of his S-rank rating, demoted to A-rank. Yi Qingge, however, was not.

Yi Qingge had lost to Lin Ying, but he still held his S-rank rating.

Gao Neng’s computer had been blown up by Li Tiannan.

So he hadn’t finished watching the battle between Lin Ying and Yi Qingge at the time. However, in the days that followed, he had watched the replay and read the reports.

Yi Qingge’s loss to Lin Ying was, in fact, somewhat undeserved.

In terms of raw power, Yi Qingge should have been superior to Lin Ying. It was just that Lin Ying’s ’hide’ was too thick, and Yi Qingge couldn’t land a fatal blow. Thus, he was eventually worn down by Lin Ying.

Of the two who had come in, if the man was Yi Qingge, then the woman was naturally his younger sister—the very same Yi Qinglian, whose chest had been blasted by Lin Ying’s punch.

Gao Neng had never met Yi Qinglian before.

But he had now.

The moment he saw Yi Qinglian, the only thought that popped into his mind was...

’So big!’

’They’re really big!’

Yi Qinglian also had brown hair and aquamarine eyes. She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, but her figure was incredibly exaggerated.

She was a full 1.75 meters tall.

Her waist was as slender as a willow, her legs were heaven-defyingly long, and her facial features were very defined. Likewise... a certain other part of her was also very "defined." To put it simply, it was one word... big!

As for the cold snort from earlier.

It had come from Yi Qinglian’s mouth.

Gao Neng now understood that his earlier feeling must have been real. There really was a pair of resentful eyes behind him. It was just that the resentment wasn’t aimed at him.

It was aimed at Lin Ying.

’Look, you beat her until she’s all swollen like that. Of course she’s going to resent you, right?’

’But thinking about it now, Lin Ying must have done his homework when he chose to target Yi Qinglian. The label "stoic pervert" was truly well-deserved.’

"Move it, you sneak-attacking dog!" Yi Qinglian spoke, the resentment in her eyes quite obvious.

This was clearly a bit of a "young miss" temper tantrum.

’You were defeated in one move, yet you’re still this arrogant when you see Lin Ying.’ Gao Neng sometimes really didn’t know what went on in some people’s heads.

As for the "sneak-attacking dog" part...

Gao Neng hadn’t seen the video of the fight between Lin Ying and Yi Qinglian, so he wouldn’t comment.

"..." Lin Ying didn’t reply, but he didn’t move aside either.

Stoic perverts usually just acted directly. Gao Neng understood this. But looking at Lin Ying’s eyes, it seemed he had no intention of striking Yi Qinglian again.

"What, you want to fight?" Fang Tangtang’s temper wasn’t as good as Lin Ying’s. When it came to being a "young miss," there weren’t many in the Alliance who could outdo her.

"Hmph, you think you’re worthy? Come on!" Yi Qinglian’s eyes narrowed.

"You’re on..." Fang Tangtang immediately prepared to make a move.

"Hold on, leave this kind of thing to me. I love fighting!" Before Fang Tangtang could act, Gao Neng pulled her back.

"Gao Neng?" Yi Qinglian’s expression changed slightly. There was a reason for her arrogance; she didn’t think Lin Ying would dare to fight her here.

And as for Fang Tangtang, she wasn’t afraid of her.

But Gao Neng...

He was an unexpected factor.

Because Yi Qinglian really couldn’t tell if Gao Neng would actually dare to make a move.

"Come on, let’s have a fight. I definitely won’t sneak attack you like my Senior Brother Lin did," Gao Neng said, raising his right fist as his gaze nonchalantly swept over a certain part of Yi Qinglian’s body.

’Hmm...’

’Very swollen!’

"..." Yi Qinglian’s expression changed again. She followed Gao Neng’s gaze downward and couldn’t see her feet... but precisely because she couldn’t see her feet, her face grew even uglier.

"Sister, let’s go." Yi Qingge stopped her, shaking his head at Yi Qinglian. If it had been Fang Tangtang challenging her, he wouldn’t have interfered.

But with Gao Neng...

He had to step in.

"Hmph, no one from Eastern Capital Military Academy is any good! Each one is more shameless than the last!" Yi Qinglian cursed resentfully, then walked around Gao Neng and the others.

"Don’t go, come on and fight," Gao Neng immediately shot back.

Yi Qinglian gritted her teeth.

However, she ignored Gao Neng and walked straight toward the front. This was rather unreasonable, because she was trying to cut in line.

Of course, Gao Neng wasn’t about to let that happen.

"Hey, are you trying to cut? Get to the back!"

"!!!" Yi Qinglian.

She was furious!

Her face turned crimson.

She felt that even if it meant death, she had to fight Gao Neng. But Yi Qingge stopped her again, shaking his head emphatically.

CRACK, CRACK!

The sound of Yi Qinglian’s fists cracking echoed.

In the end, however, the two of them still retreated behind Gao Neng and his group.

"Thanks," Lin Ying said at this moment. A rare hint of gratitude appeared in his eyes, and he also seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief.

’This is very strange.’

At the very least, Gao Neng saw the problem at a glance.

’Oho! There’s a story here!’

"Senior Brother Lin, I’ve done a quick divination by pinching my fingers. You and this Yi Qinglian are fated for a calamitous romance!" Gao Neng felt it was better to point some things out sooner rather than later.

"..." Lin Ying was speechless.

As for Yi Qinglian, she exploded again.

"Gao Neng, what did you say?!"

"The one involved is blind, the onlooker sees clearly!" Gao Neng replied.

"Great Sun Buddha!" Just then, a resonant voice rang out, and a figure appeared before Gao Neng and the others.

It was a monk.

He looked to be twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He wore an extremely rare kasaya and wasn’t tall, only about 1.7 meters, but his earlobes were massive, hanging all the way down to his chin.

With just one look, Gao Neng had the feeling that this was an enlightened, high-ranking monk.

However, this enlightened monk had a peach blossom mole near the corner of his eye. Although the mole wasn’t large, it was red and very conspicuous.

Gao Neng thought he was probably a "flower monk."

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

The most important thing was that after this monk appeared, the expressions of all the young people present changed noticeably.

Even Cheng Cai and Qu Ran, who had turned their heads away, were now watching him with serious attention.

"I didn’t expect that Benefactor Gao Neng of Eastern Capital Military Academy could also perform divination for romantic fates. In fact, this humble monk also made an inquiry from the side just now. Benefactor Lin Ying and Benefactor Yi Qinglian do indeed share a thread of fate!" the monk said, his face a picture of solemn dignity.

Upon hearing the monk’s words, Yi Qinglian truly looked like she was about to explode with rage. Her chest heaved violently, but for some reason, she didn’t lash out like she had at Gao Neng.

As for Lin Ying...

He remained silent.

But his expression was slightly strange.

Gao Neng looked at the monk before him. He didn’t need to use ’Gonna Stare You Down’ to roughly guess the monk’s identity. To confirm, he glanced back at Shen Ning’Er.

Shen Ning’Er nodded.

Gao Neng knew he had guessed correctly.

Since that was the case, he felt he should have a little chat with this monk.

"So, Master, you’re a fellow practitioner of the art. In that case, why don’t you make another inquiry and see if there’s any fate between you and me?" As Gao Neng spoke, he winked at the monk.

"!!!" The monk’s eyes shot wide open. He gave Gao Neng’s face a very serious look, then shook his head with a sigh. "I never expected Benefactor Gao Neng to have... such tastes. It is a pity, but this humble monk’s heart is already set on another, so I dare not entertain such thoughts with you."

"Oh? You monks are allowed to pursue romance?" Gao Neng was a little surprised.

"Great Sun Buddha, we are of the Esoteric Sect. Isn’t it perfectly normal for us to discuss love? Besides, even for the main Buddhist sects, some prohibitions have been abolished since the Great Cataclysm," the monk said, shaking his head.

"I knew you were a flower monk!" Gao Neng laughed, then took a step closer. "Then who is the one on your mind, Master?"

"That is this humble monk’s private affair..."

"Come on, say it."

"Great Sun Buddha, this matter cannot be spoken of."

"Actually, even if you don’t say it, I already know. I did a little finger-pinching divination myself, and the person on your mind is also... Yi Qinglian!" As Gao Neng finished speaking, he pointed directly at Yi Qinglian.
