To disrupt a romantic relationship, especially when the target is someone like Xu Xin who lives within a large family, the plan must never be too obvious; otherwise, it would raise her suspicions. Therefore, when Anshu arranged for people to carry out the plan, he never intended to sabotage Luo Feng and Xu Xin’s relationship in one go. He planned to do it in stages.
First, he would make Xu Xin suspicious, and then gradually proceed step by step…
He succeeded.
This seemingly simple mistake of misidentifying someone had already caused Xu Xin to doubt.
“Wrong person? Absolutely not a mistake. That woman had stared carefully at Luo Feng and confirmed his identity before. How could she now suddenly claim she made a mistake? That’s too fake,” Xu Xin saw through it immediately, and Luo Feng’s expression also darkened. How could such messy things happen to them?
“Sorry, really sorry, I mistook you for someone else,” the seductive woman apologized and said to the other, “Sister, let’s go.”
What could Luo Feng say?
They had already claimed it was a mistake.
“Two ladies, please wait a moment,” Xu Xin called out.
Luo Feng was surprised, looking at Xu Xin across from him, who was now looking up at the two women.
“Oh? Anything else?” the two beauties turned back, the ‘older sister’ asked.
“You said you met him for two consecutive days…” Xu Xin began.
“That wasn’t your boyfriend,” the older sister immediately replied. “It was my male friend Dashan.”
Xu Xin nodded and said, “Dashan? Oh, you said for two days straight—that means you also met Dashan yesterday?”
The ‘older sister’ and ‘younger sister’ exchanged glances. The older one looked at Luo Feng and then smiled at Xu Xin, “Of course, it wasn’t just meeting. Yesterday we even spent the night together! My Dashan is amazing. I wonder how your boyfriend is in that department.” She laughed in a rather flirtatious manner.
“Spent the night? Oh, then you must have really mistaken him. My boyfriend was video chatting with me until very late last night—several hours, three or four at least. There’s no way he could have been with anyone else,” Xu Xin smiled.
Instantly, the two beauties’ expressions changed.
Their plan had gone wrong! They hadn’t anticipated that Xu Xin would have a long video chat with Luo Feng late into the night. The two exchanged glances, their eyes showing a hint of panic. The first step of their plan had already failed, so there would be no chance to proceed to the second or third steps.
The two beauties quickly exchanged a few words with Xu Xin and then immediately left.
…
As soon as the two beauties left, Luo Feng smiled, surprised as he looked at Xu Xin opposite him: “Xu Xin, we only video chatted for about an hour yesterday. Why did you say three or four hours?”
“To test their reaction, to bluff them a little. Their expressions changed,” Xu Xin smiled slightly. “I suspect these two women were arranged by my older brother or one of the other young masters. But this time, their methods showed some improvement.” Indeed, the two beauties’ earlier act of pretending to have mistaken Luo Feng had made Xu Xin somewhat suspicious.
But there was a flaw—
Xu Xin had indeed video chatted with Luo Feng for about an hour the previous night, which made her suspicious. Could Luo Feng have gone out for some fling after their late-night chat? That seemed unrealistic. So Xu Xin asked a few more questions, exaggerating it to three or four hours. The two beauties immediately felt exposed, panicked, and left in a hurry.
“Brilliant, brilliant,” Luo Feng gave a thumbs-up.
“These family matters are always messy. I’m sorry you had to witness this,” Xu Xin apologized.
Luo Feng suddenly chuckled, “You just said… ‘my boyfriend was video chatting with me yesterday’… oh… boyfriend… tsk tsk.” Luo Feng wore a teasing grin.
“Xu Xin, I didn’t know you could be so devious! I just said that in the moment,” Xu Xin couldn’t help blushing.
…
When they left the restaurant, it was already past eight in the evening, and the sky was dark.
Walking along the street of the university town, Luo Feng accompanied Xu Xin all the way to the dormitory area of Jiangnan University. Despite the ‘sabotage’ by the two women, their relationship had actually deepened further. They occasionally teased each other, but neither explicitly confirmed their romantic relationship.
The night was dim, the stars scattered across the sky.
“No need to walk me further. I’ll go in now,” Xu Xin said, looking at Luo Feng. “And remember to work hard at the Elite Training Camp.”
“Okay,” Luo Feng nodded.
Xu Xin’s face slightly flushed as she stood at the dormitory staircase. Whether it was from the red wine or something else, she didn’t know: “I… I actually got so flustered and upset just because of what those women said. Why did I get so angry? Because of him… Could it be that I really…”
…
Luo Feng was walking through the dormitory area when he noticed several people under a tree ahead.
“Luofeng,” someone called from the front.
Luo Feng looked closely. There were six people under the tree. The leader was a good-looking, fair-skinned young man from a wealthy family. Behind him stood an old man and four seemingly muscular men. By their demeanor, these four were likely warriors. To be able to hire four capable warriors as bodyguards?
This person was no ordinary individual.
“I am Luo Feng. May I ask who you are?” Luo Feng smiled as he looked at the young man.
“My name is Wang Xingping, from the city of Jingdu!” the young man stepped forward. “I came to see you because I have only one piece of advice to give—you’d better stay away from Xu Xin!”
“And if I don’t leave, what then?” Luo Feng looked at the young man.
“Oh?” Wang Xingping raised his eyebrows.
“I know who you are—the eldest son of the Wang family of Jingdu City, a core family among the nine of the HR Alliance.” Luo Feng looked at him.
Wang Xingping smiled widely. “Good, I see you understand the rules. Rules exist everywhere in this world, and all you need to do is follow them. If you break rules you’re not supposed to break, the consequences… will be more than you can bear! Do you understand what I’m saying?”
It was around eight or nine in the evening, the busiest time in the dormitory area.
Many students were eating snacks or walking around. A number of them passed by and noticed Luo Feng and Wang Xingping’s group, as the latter’s entourage was clearly unusual.
“Rules?” Luo Feng narrowed his eyes.
The Wang family of Jingdu was one of the nine core families in the HR Alliance, the only one from China. Its influence in the ordinary world was terrifying. Such a family’s methods would be beyond imagination.
“Luofeng, you should know that people are different in this world.”
“Although we all claim equality.”
“But ultimately, people are unequal.”
“Some must obey laws and all kinds of regulations, and still face misfortunes from the sky.”
“Some can have many beautiful women, break rules, beat people, even kill, and still be fine.”
“And some… can destroy a family with a single word or grant a bright future to a young man! Even warriors must obey their orders.” Wang Xingping looked at Luo Feng. “You should know what kind of person I am. And what kind of person are you!”
Such words, filled with arrogance and condescension!
Luo Feng said nothing.
…
As Luo Feng and Wang Xingping conversed, not far from the dormitory area, a couple was walking hand in hand.
“Tao Tao, I’m really sorry. This time I’m going abroad for three whole years. Of course, I’ll come see you during the New Year,” said Heng Xia, who was about to depart with Luo Feng to the Global Headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy. The girl holding his hand was his high school sweetheart.
“Heng Xia, it’s okay. We can meet online often. Three years will pass quickly,” the girl called Tao Tao held Heng Xia’s hand.
Heng Xia was definitely a prominent figure at Jiangnan University.
He was handsome, had a great personality, and everyone, whether male or female, liked him.
His family background was also excellent; his father was a War God!
He was also strong himself and was about to enter the ‘Basic Training Camp’ of the Limit Martial Arts Academy. Perhaps in the future, he would also become a War God! With his father already a powerful War God, how many girls were chasing after such a young man! Tao Tao had gone through a lot of disruptions from others before she could be with Heng Xia.
“But you mustn’t be unfaithful,” Tao Tao looked at Heng Xia.
“Okay,” Heng Xia nodded slightly.
“Hey, what’s going on ahead?” Heng Xia looked forward in confusion. With his vision as a genius warrior, he could clearly see the group of people far away. “Hey, isn’t that Senior Luo Feng? Why is Senior Luo Feng here?”
“Tao Tao, I told you earlier that this time, there’s another extremely powerful warrior going overseas with me. That’s him ahead,” Heng Xia explained.
“Where?” Tao Tao was very curious.
“Come, let me introduce you to him,” Heng Xia smiled. “Senior Luo Feng has a very good temper.”
…
Under the tree.
Wang Xingping glanced at Luo Feng: “You’re a Low-level Battle Lord, right? Tell this Luo Feng your battle ratings.”
“Mid-level Battle Lord.”
“Mid-level Battle Lord.”
“Mid-level Battle Lord.”
Three muscular men answered in low voices. The last one, a bald middle-aged man, smiled slightly: “High-level Battle Lord! Young man, I advise you to be sensible. Even a War God wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant before the nine core families of the HR Alliance. You have a bright future ahead—don’t ruin it yourself.”
Luo Feng’s eyes lit up, and he smiled: “Master Wang, truly impressive. Four bodyguards— one High-level Battle Lord and three Mid-level Battle Lords.”
Previously, young master Li Wei had two High-level Battle Lords and one Mid-level Battle Lord. But Li Wei had died.
“Wang, you’re here too,” a familiar voice sounded.
Luo Feng turned his head, as did Wang Xingping and the others. It was Heng Xia and his girlfriend Tao Tao.
“It’s Master Heng Xia,” the butler Anshu murmured in a hushed tone.
The four bodyguards also smiled at Heng Xia. Wang Xingping smiled at Heng Xia as well. Heng Xia’s father was a well-known War God in Jiangnan Base City. Because of his good temper, he had many connections, even among other War Gods who were close friends. Facing such a well-connected War God, even the Wang family had to be polite.
Moreover, Heng Xia had excellent talent and 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 changed his attitude completely, becoming approachable instead of his previous demeanor toward Luo Feng.
“Haha, I was just looking for Senior Luo Feng here, and I didn’t expect you guys to be here too,” Heng Xia smiled as he looked at Luo Feng. “Senior Luo Feng, do you know Wang?”
“Senior Luo Feng?” Wang Xingping raised his eyebrows.
Usually, in the same martial arts academy, if one considered oneself inferior, one would call the other “senior”!
Heng Xia called Luo Feng “senior”?
“Senior Luo Feng and I just met. We’re not very familiar,” Luo Feng smiled.
Heng Xia laughed heartily and immediately said to Wang Xingping: “Wang, you love making friends with talented warriors, right? My Senior Luo Feng here is much stronger than me. This time, Senior Luo Feng will be going overseas with me, and he’s going to enter the world’s number one Elite Training Camp!”
“The Elite Training Camp?” Wang Xingping’s heart suddenly trembled.
This was bad!
An Elite Training Camp spot was something even national armies would fight to secure. Every trainee who entered would become a War God in the future! Moreover, the special training in the Elite Training Camp would make these War Gods far more powerful than those who trained on their own.
Every trainee in the Elite Training Camp held an extremely high status and was a target for recruitment by the nine core families of the HR Alliance.
Because these trainees would not only become powerful themselves in the future, but they would also form a network of the world’s most brilliant geniuses. After graduation, they would all become War Gods! With their own strength and such connections… each trainee would become a high-level figure in the Limit Martial Arts Academy, a special department of the national government, or an elite invited by the HR Alliance.
They were the absolute upper echelon!
Even the national government treated these people like honored guests.
They were indeed treated like honored guests!
Because these geniuses were also very smart and naturally formed tight-knit groups. A single genius-level strong warrior was already overwhelmingly powerful, but when dozens or even hundreds of them banded together, supporting each other when one was in trouble, this invisible latent power was something no core family of the HR Alliance dared to offend.
This was why super-rich families spent hundreds of billions or even trillions, pulling every string they could, just to get someone into this world’s top training camp!
And these trainees…
They might even become disciples of “Hong” or “Thunder God.”
“Damn, he… he Luo Feng actually got in…” Wang Xingping wanted to hit his own head in frustration.
Just a regular little warrior, how could he suddenly…
“Senior Luo Feng, Wang is a great guy and loves making friends,” Heng Xia smiled at Luo Feng, then turned to Wang Xingping, “Wang, later, the three of us—me, Senior Luo Feng, and you—can find a place to chat?” Heng Xia even winked at Wang Xingping deliberately.
In Heng Xia’s view,
he was doing Wang Xingping a huge favor. How many genius warriors of this caliber existed in the world? It wasn’t easy to get the chance to make friends with one.
