Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 401 Sparring

The man in charge of guiding Chen Fan and Su Qingyan walked over, smiling as he said, "Miss Sun, the more people on an adventure, the better. Should anything happen, we can all look out for each other. With just two more people, Miss Sun could show some kindness and take them along."

Sun Jingyi snorted coldly, "Who doesn’t know that Worry-Free Valley is fraught with danger? For this trip, we’ve brought four masters with us. If an incident occurs, we will have to look after them instead, and they will only add to our troubles."

Afterwards, she turned to look at Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, "You two wouldn’t have received advance notice that we were heading to Worry-Free Valley and deliberately come to team up with us, just to take advantage of us, would you?"

Chen Fan was speechless and said, "We don’t even know who you are, and we just need a guide to lead us to Worry-Free Valley. We have no interest in joining your adventure, and if something indeed happens, you’re free to ignore us."

Sun Jingyi pursed her lips, "That’s easy for you to say, but people are all compassionate by nature. If something happens and you beg for our help, how could we not save you? The Sun Family is, after all, a noble house; we wouldn’t want to tarnish our reputation. So the best option is not to let you follow us."

Chen Fan thought to himself that with her current attitude, he already felt the Sun Family didn’t have much of a good reputation.

Not wanting to argue with such people, he turned to the man beside him and said, "Forget it, we won’t team up with them. Please find us another guide."

The man squinted his eyes and smiled, "There is only Lao Cai here who is willing to guide to Worry-Free Valley. If you do not want to join them, you’ll have to wait until Lao Cai returns. Their trip could take anywhere from three days to a week. Are you willing to wait?"

Chen Fan said, "Then please refund our money, and we’ll find a guide elsewhere."

The man cleared his throat twice, "Once a contract is signed, there are no refunds."

Chen Fan remarked, "You really are quite the scammers."

The man’s face was as thick as a city wall, "That’s the tourism industry for you. Don’t worry, let me talk to them again."

He turned to Sun Jingyi, "Miss Sun, do us a favor. They’ve already paid, and they are clients of our travel agency. With only Lao Cai as a guide, we can’t just leave them hanging."

Sun Jingyi’s presence was overbearing, and she was about to retort when suddenly something crossed her mind. After a moment’s thought, she turned to Chen Fan and said, "It’s not that you can’t join us. I don’t want you with us because I fear you’ll be a burden and cause trouble, but as long as you can prove your strength won’t hold us back, I won’t say anything."

"How about this, if you can defeat one of our bodyguards, then I will allow you to come along."

As she spoke, she glanced at one of the bodyguards, giving him a look.

The bodyguard stepped forward, exuding the aura of someone with Great Achievement in Internal Strength, and looked at Chen Fan and Su Qingyan.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh, then turned to Su Qingyan, "How about you take this one?"

Su Qingyan’s lips curled into a playful arc and she nodded. She then walked towards the bodyguard.

Seeing this, Sun Jingyi’s eyes widened as she shouted, "You’re really letting this woman fight my bodyguard? Are you even a man?"

Her friends around her also cast disdainful looks at Chen Fan.

Anger was evident on Sun Jingyi’s face as she said to the bodyguard, "He Da, there’s no need to fight. Members of the Sun Family never bully a woman. We’re not taking these two."

"Hold on, the fight hasn’t even started yet. How do you know I’ll be the one getting bullied?" Su Qingyan quickly spoke, then with a sudden burst of speed, she charged towards He Da.

He Da saw Su Qingyan initiating the attack, his gaze hardened, and he raised his hand to block her.

But as Su Qingyan closed in and he felt the strong force emanating from her, his face changed color and he hurriedly put all his effort into the defense.

The two immediately tangled together, countering each other’s moves.

However, after just twenty moves, He Da was already at a disadvantage.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Su Qingyan landed a chopping blow at He Da’s face.

He Da couldn’t guard in time, and a look of terror flashed in his eyes.

Su Qingyan stopped her attack right before hitting He Da, then copied a gesture she saw on television, smiling at He Da with cupped hands, "I’ve been shown leniency."

She quite liked the demeanor of a chivalrous woman, and returned to Chen Fan with a joyful face.

Sun Jingyi and her friends were all stunned.

They could never have imagined that this seemingly fragile and exceptionally beautiful woman could be so powerful.

No wonder that guy felt so at ease letting her confront He Da.

Lao Cai applauded and shouted with a laugh, "Bravo! This girl is truly incredible, a woman who doesn’t fall behind men!" fгeewebnovёl.com

After regaining her composure, Sun Jingyi turned to He Da and asked with a cold face, "Did you go easy on her because she’s pretty?"

He Da hurriedly replied, "Miss, I fought with all my strength just now. This lady’s power is truly astonishing, and I am not her match."

Sun Jingyi knew He Da wouldn’t lie and nodded slightly, feeling an inexplicable pang of jealousy.

As a woman herself, it was annoying that the other person was not only beautiful but also stronger.

Chen Fan looked at Sun Jingyi and asked, "Can we join you now?"

Sun Jingyi thought to herself that it wasn’t him but the girl who was powerful; meanwhile, he was acting like a leader, which was shameless.

However, she didn’t continue to make things difficult for Chen Fan and Su Qingyan. Su Qingyan’s strength meant that she truly wouldn’t be a burden to them.

She snorted, "Fine, you both can come with us. But let me make it clear, if anything happens, don’t expect us to bail you out."

Chen Fan smiled, "Don’t worry, once we reach Worry-Free Valley, we will part ways with you."

Seeing that everyone was in agreement, Lao Cai cleared his throat and said, "Let me tell you all some precautions to take note of."

Everyone listened to Lao Cai’s precautions and then began preparing the tools, food, and necessary weapons they would need for the adventure in case of danger.

Sun Jingyi’s group were descendants of noble families, so money wasn’t an issue. They prepared an abundance of gear, with everyone hauling large and small packages.

Chen Fan and Su Qingyan waited for them to get ready.

With enough food and possibly needed items stored inside the Heavenly Creation Pearl, they didn’t need to prepare as many packages as Sun Jingyi’s group.

As for weapons or tools, with Chen Fan, a master of the Golden Core Realm, they were naturally unnecessary.

After Sun Jingyi and the others finished packing, they all looked towards Chen Fan and Su Qingyan and were surprised to see them empty-handed.

Sun Jingyi asked, "Hey, you two are going on an expedition and not bringing anything?"

Chen Fan and Su Qingyan shook their heads at the same time.

Sun Jingyi pursed her lips, muttering to herself, "Do you really think going to Worry-Free Valley is like going on a leisurely trip? It’s a dangerous place where you could lose your lives; you two are fools."

She glanced at Su Qingyan, thinking that with her strength, it wasn’t a big deal to go without supplies.

Then her gaze fell on Chen Fan, and she continued muttering that this guy clearly lacked strength, yet, like Qingyan, he wasn’t bringing anything. She thought this was simply courting death!

The group was ready to set off and started walking outside.

As Sun Jingyi walked past Chen Fan, she muttered, "Not even bringing water or food, wait until you’re out in the wilderness, thirsty and hungry, then you’ll cry!"
