Chapter 38
“He looks quite delicate and clean!” said the girl with a chubby face. Thank goodness he’s not a fat otaku, she thought.
3However, while he looked delicate, that was pretty much it. You could call him good-looking, but he wasn’t the kind who was heart-stoppingly good-looking.
However, no one could deny that his eyes were exceptionally gorgeous.
1After a month of training, Lu Xuan had gained full control over his cultivation. He let not even a smidge of cultivation leak and looked just like any other youth.
He was also wearing clothes bought off Taobao, and they looked very cheap!
However, Chubby Face knew that these type of guys were better known as “economical men.” They would probably suit ordinary girls, but they would never be worthy enough for them two.
“You’re that Lu Xuan?” asked Chubby Face.
Although his panic quickly disappeared when he saw who it was. In front of that monster, anything was reasonable.
“Mr. Lu!” The square-faced fatso quickly hung up and made a slightly solemn but respectful expression.
“Why are you here, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Xuan didn’t say much. “I’m here with my friends. What’s so interesting about this martial arts competition that even you, a powerhouse of the Agency of Special Affairs, would come down personally?”
The square-faced fatso quickly replied smilingly, “Who would dare call themselves a powerhouse when there’s you? You’re a local too, right, Mr. Lu? Haven’t you heard of the martial arts competition?”
Lu Xuan shook his head. Be it in his past life or present, this was the first time he heard about this thing called a martial arts competition.
The square-faced fatso saw that Lu Xuan seemed not to know and immediately explained, “The martial arts competition has been going on for a few years now. At first, it was just a mini-competition organized by kickboxing fanatics. It didn’t have that much influence back then. However, some experts began to emerge from the battle rings, disciples of various sects also began to participate in the competition. By then, the competition had attracted the eyes of many wealthy tycoons!
“I think you know that the richer a man is, the more afraid he is of death. Those wealthy tycoons often visit the competition to choose their bodyguards. And that attracted even more cultivators to participate!” The square-faced fatso gave a brief explanation.
Lu Xuan nodded. Everything made sense after the explanation. No wonder a competition that was so similar to underground fighting would attract this big a crowd.
As the saying went, the man who learned to fight and write sold his talent to the royal court. While the royal court no longer existed, in their stead, there were the tycoons and the ultra-rich.
While these warriors may be physically strong, those hugely influential masters with disciples in both the police and the triads were far and few between, like existences at the top of the pyramid.
Most of the warriors were struggling to get by, and practicing martial arts wasn’t exactly a cheap affair either. What choice did they have apart from going to these tycoons?
All in all, it was just an equivalent exchange.
“Even so, surely there’s no need for someone of your status—the Assistant Chief of the Agency of Special Affairs, to come down personally?”
