Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Where to Stay Tonight? _1

When he had left Du Xinyan’s house, it was already eleven at night.

Upon some thought, Zhang Xian didn’t feel like going home yet. So, he kept walking until he found himself at the base of the rental building where Duan Hong lived.

"Damn, how did I end up here? Do I have feelings for Duan Hong?"

Zhang Xian looked up and saw that the light in her room was still on. After some hesitation down below, he eventually went upstairs fast, walked to the door, and knocked.

After a while, Duan Hong opened the door and peeked out nervously.

Zhang Xian, who was about to leave since the door wasn’t opened for a long time, saw Duan Hong stick her head out like she was hiding from a thief. Confused, he asked, "Elder Sister Hong, are you on thief watch? Why are you so nervous?"

"Ah... it’s you!" Duan Hong gave an awkward smile and said, "Sorry, I thought..."

Zhang Xian asked, "You’re in trouble again?"

Duan Hong shook her head, saying, "No, it’s just that when I went out today, I felt like I was being followed. It took me a while to lose them."

"Followed?" Zhang Xian frowned, "Could it be... did the people from the Jinwan Casino really want to cause you trouble?"

"I don’t know, I’m just worried. It might just be my overactive imagination, but I don’t dare to go out now," Duan Hong replied with a bitter smile. She then curiously asked,"Why are you... at this late hour?"

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose, saying, "Uh, I came to check on you, I was worried."

"Hehe, come on in then!" Duan Hong laughed and stepped aside.

Walking into the room and sitting on the bed, Zhang Xian noticed Duan Hong was wearing a sexy red nightgown, and his eyes wandered more than they should have.

The vibrant color against her fair skin was quite tempting under the dim light. Moreover, Duan Hong’s curvaceous and mature figure was even more captivating.

Seeing Zhang Xian continuously staring at her, Duan Hong smiled lightly and asked, "Young man, why aren’t you going home this late? Aren’t you afraid your wife will worry about you sitting in this old woman’s house?"

Zhang Xian quickly looked away and said awkwardly, "Um, I’m not going home today."

Upon hearing this, Duan Hong’s body shivered slightly, and her eyes sparkled frequently.

Not going home? Was he hinting that he wanted to stay overnight at her place?

Zhang Xian looked up and seeing Duan Hong looking at him was a bit puzzled. "Elder Sister Hong, why are you continuously staring at me? Do I have flowers on my face?"

Duan Hong laughed, "You’ve also been staring at me."

Zhang Xian blinked in surprise, then gave an awkward smile. "Well, Elder Sister Hong is so beautiful, I couldn’t help taking a few more looks."

"You rascal..." Duan Hong was very pleased, though she didn’t show it much. "So, where do you plan to stay overnight?"

Zhang Xian replied, "At a hotel! I stayed at a hotel last night as well."

"A hotel, huh!" Duan Hong seemed a bit disappointed.

Actually, she was hoping that Zhang Xian would stay here. However, considering he was already married, she didn’t want to directly request it and possibly wreck someone’s family.

"Hmm, it’s late now. You should rest early. I’ll leave," Zhang Xian nodded and went to the door. "Elder Sister Hong, try not to go out these next few days. Be careful."

Duan Hong nodded, watched Zhang Xian descend the stairs from the doorway, and then closed the door. She lay on her bed, feeling quite depressed.

...

The Tae Kwon Do master and Karate master messed up their school advertisements, which harmed the reputation of their martial arts schools. They returned to their respective schools with their tails between their legs.

Facing the formidable Zhang Xian, they were at a loss, so they could only return to their martial arts schools for help.

When the masters of both schools heard about the incident, they were furious, and they immediately took their people to Tsinghua University in the name of martial arts exchange.

If this issue wasn’t properly resolved, the reputation of their martial arts school would greatly suffer. If the news spread amongst the students, who would choose their martial arts school in the future?

"Damn it..."

Zhao Fuyuan was quite scared when he saw the masters of both schools.

It was true that Zhang Xian was very formidable, but he was, after all, only in his twenties. However, those who came this time were the school masters, and they came with the determination to win, they definitely wouldn’t make things easy.

"Chairman, the situation doesn’t look good!"

"What should we do? Should we call Zhang Xian over? We won’t be able to handle this on our own."

Some students began to worry. In their eyes, Huaxia martial arts was far more advanced than Tae Kwon Do or Karate, and they didn’t want to see Huaxia martial arts lose to them.

After some hesitation, Zhao Fuyuan said, "Who will go and call Brother Xian?"

"I’ll go..." said one girl.

Before anyone could take the initiative, she hastily ran out of the martial arts club.

Walking into the martial arts club, the Tae Kwon Do master was annoyed to see that all the signs had been changed. "What kind of martial arts club is this? Who’s the president?"

Zhao Fuyuan came forward. "That would be me."

The Taekwondo master chuckled derisively, "You, a mere greenhorn, dare to criticize our Taekwondo as empty show-off skills?"

"Facts speak louder than words." Zhao Fuyuan chuckled, asking, "Are you the master of the Taekwondo dojo? Why are you making such a big fuss coming here today? What is it you want to do?"

The Taekwondo master replied, "I’ve heard there is a prodigy in your school, so I came to check, and maybe have a friendly match."

"Ha Ha..." Zhao Fuyuan laughed, "Master, you are not young anymore, why are you competing with us kids? Even if you could defeat my master, what’s the point? You have practiced for dozens of years while my master is just in his twenties. If you overpower the youth, even if you win, it wouldn’t be considered a true victory. It wouldn’t do you any good!"

"You..." The Taekwondo master didn’t expect Zhao Fuyuan to have such a sharp tongue, pointing out the unfairness, which somewhat annoyed him. "I just wanted to have a friendly match."

Zhao Fuyuan laughed, "Of course, I’m not forbidding you to have a match. Our people have already gone to call my master. However, I’m afraid it will be so embarrassing if you get defeated by him!"

"Ha Ha..." The Taekwondo master laughed heartily, "Kid, do you think that’s possible?"

"Everything is possible." Zhao Fuyuan grinned, "After all, your student also strutted around just like this when he first came!"

"You..." The Taekwondo master was furious.

Recalling the incompetence of that guy before, he felt conflicted. What was supposed to be a publicity stunt turned out like this?

...

Zhang Xian had become a celebrity now, and many people got to know his habits.

Here he was. As soon as he sat down by the pool, an adorable girl ran over to him, panting. With her well-developed chest heaving, she was irresistibly appealing.

Lighting up a cigarette, he chuckled and asked, "Hey, beautiful, what’s up? Are you here to date with me?"

The girl was taken aback, then asked joyously, "You...are you asking me out on a date?"

"Uh..." Zhang Xian was caught unawares by her enthusiastic response.

But, the girl in front of him was quite adorable. Although she couldn’t match the top three beauties of the school, she was definitely in the same league as the class beauty.

"Zhang Xian, are you asking me out on a date?" The girl threw herself beside Zhang Xian, looking at him eagerly.

Zhang Xian quickly stood up and said, "Hey, beautiful, take it easy, show some restraint!"

The girl pouted, "It was you who asked me out just now! Now why are you telling me to show restraint? Don’t guys like open-minded girls?"

"Not necessarily, not necessarily." Zhang Xian knew this girl recognized him and probably had a little crush on him, that’s why he didn’t want to mess with her.

"Uh..." The girl was stunned, "Oh, I almost forgot the real issue. The masters of the Taekwondo and Karate dojos have arrived at the martial arts club."

Zhang Xian asked, "The masters? What is going on?"

"Yeah!" The girl replied, "They claimed that they came to spar with you, but in reality, they want to defeat you and regain some face."

"Pfftt, a bunch of nobodies." Zhang Xian sneered, "So, you came here to get me?"

The girl nodded, "Yes, I believe you can definitely defeat that guy."

"Of course, it’s a sure thing." Zhang Xian grinned, "But, I don’t want to go there. There’s no fun in it. After all the fighting and disagreement, I will be the one to get hurt!"

The girl was confused, "Why would you get hurt? Are you scared you can’t beat him?"

"How could I not beat him? I could subdue him in a minute." Zhang Xian sneered, "I just don’t want to become too famous, so I’d rather not go there. Defeating their masters would look bad."

"Pfftt..." The girl laughed, "Isn’t it strange for someone to be afraid of becoming famous these days? You’re so different from others."

Zhang Xian said, "What’s so strange about that? You should go back. I’m not going to fight that guy."

The girl stated, "But, your fellow students are all waiting for you! Besides, those guys are belittling Huaxia martial arts. As a Huaxian, shouldn’t you teach those foreign-worshipping guys a lesson?"

"Ha Ha..." Zhang Xian laughed heartily, "I like what you said, girl. Let’s go, I’ll go with you to check."

The girl nodded her head, following closely behind Zhang Xian, her face flushed. This was the first time she had been this close to Zhang Xian and had spoken so many words to him.

This guy wasn’t as scary as she thought! He was funny and adorable.

"Damn, there sure is a crowd!"

When Zhang Xian reached the martial arts club, he noticed a lot of people inside and couldn’t help his smirk.

It seemed that Zhao Fuyuan had quite a pulling influence. Within just two days, he had gathered so many club members.

"Zhang Xian is here!"

As soon as the girl went inside the crowd, she shouted.

Seeing this, the fellow students immediately made way, looking at Zhang Xian with ardent eyes as if a starving man had just seen a mouthwatering roasted chicken.

"Hey, hello everyone." Seeing the students showing respect, Zhang Xian felt a little embarrassed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the master of the Taekwondo dojo was almost exploded with anger when he saw Zhang Xian was just a pretty boy. Could such a kid snap their dojo’s best student away with a slap?

The master of the Karate dojo was also watching Zhang Xian, with disbelief. That Zhang Xian in front of him seemed like an ordinary student no matter how he looked.
