Super War God in the City

Ice City, outside the airport, He Jiayi hailed a taxi, gave the driver the address, and then sat in the back seat with Ling Fan.

"Thank you so much for this time!" He Jiayi actually displayed a bit of a daughterly demeanor.

Today, she wore a black dress, deliberately dressing herself more mature and sexy because she had heard that men seemed to prefer that kind of style.

"Haha, why be polite, haven’t I also received your benefits? Taking people’s money to eliminate their disasters!" Ling Fan teased.

In his mind, he mused, "This young lady has changed her style, and it does have a different charm to it. With some more growth, her potential is quite good!"

...

Inside the He family villa.

"Jiayi said she’s coming back today, but it’s not even vacation time yet. I don’t know what that crazy girl is coming back for!" Chen Xue complained to her husband.

"Hmph, that crazy girl never gives us peace of mind. After graduation, she’d better get married quickly. She’s a headache, always buzzing around in front of my eyes. Binzhou and Ice City are so far apart, and she doesn’t even mind the hassle, still running back and forth on the weekends!" He Qingyang said irritably.

Just then, a mother and daughter entered from outside the door.

He Qingyang turned his head and saw that it was his sister He Huiyun and his niece Lu Hanshan.

He immediately asked, "Huiyun, how is your husband’s injury?"

Supported by Lu Hanshan, He Huiyun walked in with a somewhat pale face and shook her head, "Old Lu and his stubborn temper, I’ve advised him several times before. It’s all matters from so many years ago, old grudges! He wouldn’t listen to me, and now look what happened. He wouldn’t turn back until he hit the south wall. His arm has been reattached, but his cultivation is pretty much wasted.

Luckily, we had help from the Qiu family, so it’s not a big problem; he’ll be able to come back soon!"

He Qingyang sighed, "My brother-in-law is audacious because of his skill, but this time he was just unlucky and carefree. If he had informed the Qiu family, taken a few good men with him, the outcome might not have been as it is!"

He Huiyun sat down on the sofa and gave a wry smile, "What’s the use of saying this now? I think Old Lu still can’t accept it. I’m afraid he won’t be able to get over it and will go looking for trouble again. I heard he was lucky this time; the expert they brought in did not intend to take his life. Otherwise, do you think he would have been able to come back alive?

As the saying goes, there’s always someone better out there. Our fear is that he might not be so lucky next time.

So, I hope you guys can persuade him later!"

He Qingyang nodded, "From what you say, he really did come back with his life. Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him later!"

"Huiyun, don’t be too upset. He’s still safe and sound, right? If his martial arts are gone, so be it. He’s not young anymore, better to avoid fighting and killing. Losing his martial arts might not be such a bad thing, try to think positively!" Chen Xue also consoled on the side.

"Actually, that’s what I think too. Talking to you guys has cleared my heart a lot," He Huiyun sighed.

"Mom, don’t be too sad. Qiu Jianbai definitely won’t let that bastard who hurt Dad get away with it. I’ve already told him!" Lu Hanshan said, her face cold with anger.

"You child, not only do you not calm things down, but you also stir them up. What business do you have getting involved, causing a stir? Do you want Qiu Jianbai to get dragged into it as well?" He Huiyun became suddenly angry and started berating Lu Hanshan.

"Mom, you don’t understand. My dad’s skills are no match for Jianbai, and besides, the Qiu family is a Martial Arts Family. If it weren’t for dad’s arrogance and carelessness, how could he have ended up like this!

He’s just too stubborn, not listening to me at the beginning, afraid the Qiu family would look down on him. If he had just spoken to the Qiu family, with Jianbai there, he definitely wouldn’t have nearly lost his life!" Lu Hanshan rebutted, not convinced.

The Qiu family is a rather prestigious Martial Arts Family in Ice City, and Qiu Jianbai is a member of the second branch of the Qiu family, as well as the fiancé of Lu Hanshan.

The Qiu family was able to enter into a marriage alliance with the Lu family largely because of Old Lu’s face, for his brother is the ninth direct disciple of the Dragon Gate Grandmaster, Yin Tianzu.

With such a connection in place, otherwise how would a Martial Arts Family ever consider an alliance with an ordinary family in the Secular World?

And the son of the Head of the Qiu Family, Qiu Yu, is precisely He Jiayi’s fiancé. To speak of it, the He family could climb up to this relationship with the Qiu family all thanks to the Lu family acting as a go-between.

"You’re just as stubborn as a mule, just like your father. You’ll know to behave once you’ve suffered enough!" He Huiyun was so angry she lost her temper.

He Qingyang smiled, "My niece didn’t say anything wrong. If the Qiu family steps in, then everything is not a problem.

You can rest easy. As long as Old Lu doesn’t overdo it, in this patch of Ice City, who can do anything to us!"

Seeing her brother also speak this way, He Huiyun no longer argued, "By the way, I heard Jiayi is coming back today, right? Just now, Hanshan greeted Jian Bai, so I expect Qiu Yu will also come over soon!"

Chen Xue checked the time, "He should arrive soon. It’s perfect that Qiu Yu is coming. After we finish eating, we can let them go out for a spin, and they should indeed get more in touch with each other to build their relationship!"

At the gate of the He family villa.

"Master, no need to look for change!" He Jiayi handed over a Red Note crisply.

The driver accepted the tip with a smile, "You rich folks always handle things generously, not like those penny pinchers. I ran an extra two bucks worth and they argued with me, accusing me of taking a longer route!

He Jiayi smiled and got out of the car with Ling Fan.

"Your family must be quite a big clan here in Ice City too!" Ling Fan stood in front of the grand villa, which was even more elaborate than the one he and Xiao Chubing lived in.

"It’s nothing special. Oh, here, take this. When the time comes, just say it’s from you!" He Jiayi took out a gift from her bag; it looked like some kind of jewelry. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Uh... sorry, I forgot to prepare!" Ling Fan coughed awkwardly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

This last-minute role as a fake boyfriend had not quite sunk in yet; he was too focused on cultivation and had forgotten about this detail.

He Jiayi gave Ling Fan a sidelong glance. "Hmph, I knew you wouldn’t take this fake boyfriend thing too seriously. Let’s go in!"

Ling Fan put the gift in his pocket, gave a wry smile, and followed He Jiayi into the villa.

"Dad, Mom, I’m back, and I’ve brought a friend for you to meet!" He Jiayi called out from the entrance before even stepping inside.

But when He Jiayi entered and saw Lu Hanshan and her daughter, her face immediately fell, "Aunt and cousin are here too!"

"What kind of attitude is that!" He Qingyang immediately glared at her.

He Jiayi pouted; she couldn’t have a good attitude if she tried. If it weren’t for Lu Hanshan’s family meddling, would she have been forced to marry that freak from the Qiu family? Considering the situation, her attitude was already quite good.

Just then, Ling Fan walked in the door, appearing behind He Jiayi.

He Jiayi immediately turned around and took Ling Fan’s arm in a very affectionate manner, introducing him to the several stunned people in the hall: "Let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Ling Fan!" Read exclusive chapters at empire
