Chapter 115: Status Is Also a Type of Strength—Fiancée

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Mirov, you feel like this person is qualified to receive my recognition?”

“Young Master Ge.... this... hehe....” Lev Mirov laugh was a bit awkward, but his eyebrows oozed with true delight. The young man’s voice seeped with what felt like one was lecturing from a position high above. It sounded like the young man was lecturing Lev Mirov, but the young man was actually mocking Qin Fen in secret.

The people around Ge Bing looked at Qin Fen with evil smiles. Ge Bing’s family background was different from theirs. Just based on background, Ge Bing was no way inferior to someone with a family background like Lin Liqiang. He didn’t need to take Lin Liqiang into account when doing things at all.

Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota had dark expressions as they stood still.

Qin Fen cast a smile with his gaze. Every man had his dignity. He thanked his two friends for not going too far in helping him and thereby harming his pride.

Song Jia didn’t think as much as Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota. As her expression sank, she said in an extremely unhappy tone, “Ge Bing...”

“Song Jia.” Qin Fen interrupted Song Jia’s words. He gave a light wave of his hand. “I came here this time to meet with you, Young Master Lin, and Young Master Enz. I’m not here to get tangled up with noisy people.”

“Old Qin!”

Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota both gave thumbs-ups. Qin Fen’s personality was the same as always. He didn’t care about someone’s background. If you can look at me in the eye, then we can have a proper conversation. If you won’t look at me in the eye, then I won’t look at you in the eye!

Ge Bing’s expression suddenly went chilly when Qin Fen called him noisy. He smiled coldly, but he didn’t talk.

“Young Master Ge....” Lev Mirov wanted to fan the flames from the side. Ge Bing didn’t just have his background. He possessed very shocking strength. His talent was in no way inferior to Lin Liqiang and the others. Such a person would certainly score an easy win against Qin Fen in a field he was proficient in.

“Mirov.” Ge Bing faintly shook his index finger. “What’s my identity? What’s my status? What kind of person am I? He absolutely doesn’t have the qualifications to talk to me. Have you seen an adult go provoke a three-year-old child in earnest? If he wants to provoke me, he needs to first increase his qualifications before its okay.”

Not a single word of his faint speech, spoken in an arrogant tone, was missed by everyone’s ears.

“Song Jia.” Ge Bing seized the silence before Song Jia could speak and said. “I don’t care about anything you do right now. However, just remember this one thing. The Head of the Song Family has agreed that as long as I pass through a test, you will become my fiancée. I hope you restrain yourself a bit until that happens. There are some things you can’t do before then, some things you best not do. I don’t like second-hand things.”

“You....” Song Jia’s face was full of fury as she stood in place. She glared at Ge Bing with hate. “I won’t marry you even if I die! What’s more, you won’t be able to pass my grandfather’s test!”

“Really?” Ge Bing laughed very indifferently. “It looks like you already forgot. The Head of the Song Family already said that I am the most outstanding out of our young generation of geniuses. The one who has the largest chance to pass the test to become the Song Family’s son-in-law is none other than me.”

Qin Fen shifted his questioning gaze to Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota. These two good friends were in that social circle. They should know the situation extremely clearly.

Lin Liqiang curled his lips, reached out a hand, and placed it on Qin Fen’s shoulder. He spoke, somewhat dishearteningly, “Bro, I had planned to tell you this matter after some time passes. This is to avoid giving you too much stress. It looks like now I need to explain things to you.”

Qin Fen nodded in silence. He just listened to Lin Liqiang speak. “Master Song is an extremely... how do I say this? Simply speaking, everything he says goes in the Song Family. This includes the major matters of marriage with the children. Song Jia is his granddaughter. Naturally, she needs to accept such arrangements. I heard he came up with a huge test. The first person in the young generation able to pass this test will become his grandson-in-law. So....”

Qin Fen smiled. A test? So what? If it was really necessary, then he would go challenge that test before any of the other young men and be done with it.

“Old Qin....” Lin Liqiang understood the meaning behind Qin Fen’s smile. He patted Qin Fen on the shoulder very sympathetically. “This Master Song gave a basic prerequisite for taking the test. Right now you don’t possess the qualifications....”

“Huh?” Qin Fen found it a bit strange. The top-ranking upper class seemed to be more complicated than he imagined.

“Status, money, and reputation all possess assessment criteria.” Lin Liqiang shook his head in a bitter smile. “This Master Song has yet to set down a fixed prerequisite since he doesn’t want to treat his own daughter unfairly.”

Qin Fen frowned. This Song Wendong was feudalistic enough. It was already the interstellar era, yet he was still dealing in a family system like the dynasties in ancient times.

“Bro, all the other families are the same.” Lin Liqiang sighed with deep emotion. “Regardless of the era, truly large families haven’t changed at all.”

Qin Fen realized that Song Jia gazing at himself despondently. She looked quite pitiful yet cute. Her aura of a queen, which she always used to have, had completely vanished. Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders in a smile. He also let out a sigh. So it turned out that dating someone from a large family was much more troublesome than he imagined.

He gave Song Jia a reassuring smile. What kind of man would Qin Fen be if he was scared back by these mere words? Qin Fen warmed up his shoulders. Hearing Lin Liqiang’s explanation had caused his heart to surge with a desire to do battle even more powerful than before. Even if the Earth Martial God Song Wendong was standing before him, he wouldn’t feel even a sliver of fear.

The flaring of battle intent caused a hint of shock to flash on Ge Bing’s arrogant face. There weren’t many people in the entire Federation, let alone the entire world, who could do what Qin Fen just did, igniting their desire to do battle and not showing even an iota of fear when hearing the name of the Earth Martial God Song Wendong.

Within the generation of youth, Qin Fen possessed no reverence nor did he possess fear. He sheerly revealed a pure desire to do battle. Qin Fen was not the first to do so, but he was a minority among minorities.

“He....” Ge Bing sneered. He spoke very disdainfully, “Nothing more than a frog at the bottom of the well who doesn’t know how big the skies are.”

Qin Fen turned a deaf ear to Ge Bing as he accompanied Lin Liqiang and the two others into the elevator. Issuing a challenge would show weakness. Ignoring Ge Bing was the best answer.

Ge Bing ignored Qin Fen and his performance all the same. He possessed the status of a candidate to be the heir of a top-notch family. If he responded intensely to someone without status nor position, he would only cause his own social status to fall.

People who stood at the peak wouldn’t walk down the peak to challenge those below. They only waited to receive the challenge of those who rushed to the peak!

“Young Master Ge....”

“Don’t say anything whatsoever.” Ge Bing entered the elevator and interrupted Lev Mirov. “What do I have, and what does he have, if anything? Don’t forget that status is also a type of strength.”

The youngsters following by Ge Bing’s side had their eyes suddenly light up. Right now each of them had a different understanding.

Qin Fen and the others walked into a room they had long since booked. Everyone followed their own fancies in selecting their favorite seats. Qin Fen’s mind was still swimming with thoughts on the mistakes he made when smearing jam on bread. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art slowly circulated within his body. When compared to the rapid surge of circulation with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, the slow circulation was extremely simple. Though it was simple, it was extremely difficult to distribute it completely evenly.

With the experience from morning’s training, Qin Fen knew that his own precision control wasn’t as high as he previously imagined. He was incapable of reaching a precise control he desired for a time, but he wasn’t anxious about it. He would practice more when he had the time and all would be fine.

Lin Liqiang looked at Ge Bing quite unhappily. Qin Fen’s counterattack had left him in a bit of a bind. He was scared of harming Qin Fen’s pride with a frontal contention.

Xue Tian stabbed Lin Liqiang in the waist with a finger. He leaned to Lin Liqiang’s ear and whispered a few words, and Lin Liqiang’s face of unhappiness gradually turned into a smile of delight.

“No wonder we’re the same kind.”

Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian had arms around each other shoulders as they smiled evilly. They looked at Ge Bing’s back, and a cold air spawned from their bodies. Those who understood Lin Liqiang all knew that this smile of his possessed malicious intentions.

“Apologies, I need to go to the bathroom.”

Ge Bing slowly rose from his chair and stood up. Though he wasn’t scared of Lin Liqiang, there was no need to create too big of a conflict with him in this place today. A slight avoidance would also allow Ge Bing to an opportunity to think and speculate on what Lin Liqiang was up to.

The smile on Lin Liqiang’s face was in full bloom at this time, and Xue Tian’s smile next to him was just as radiant.

“What a coincidence! We just so happen need to go too!” Xue Tian stood up.

Lin Liqiang grabbed Qin Fen by the arm. “Old Qin, I seem to recall that you like to go the restroom before eating too.”

“Oh?” Qin Fen was somewhat at a loss as he was pulled out from his chair and was dragged to the restroom.

Ge Bing already stood up. It would look bad if he sat back down. His face carried suspicion as he walked toward the restroom. He speculated over and over at what Lin Liqiang was likely up to.

Could it be? Did Lin Liqiang want to make a move in the lavatory? Such things were only done by elementary school students. Right now everyone was in university. He wouldn’t do such a thing, right?

Ge Bing walked into the restroom amidst his speculations. A blank Qin Fen and the people with evil smiles on their faces, Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian, followed behind.

Ge Bing stood cautiously before a urinal. Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian quickly dragged Qin Fen to the urinals as well. It was at this moment that Qin Fen finally understood what these two were up to.

With a helpless smile, Qin Fen shook his head and arrived at a urinal next to Ge Bing.

At the moment the sound of trickling could be heard, Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian deliberately extended their heads in examination. At the same time, they feigned shock using bulging eyes. The same words came from different mouths as they exclaimed, “Young Master Ge! You’re much smaller than Old Qin right there! Did something go wrong during puberty!?”

Ge Bing subconsciously shot Qin Fen a glance when he heard these words. There was a bit of shock in his eyes. At the same time as his prideful expression instantly turned dark, Lin Liqiang and Xue Tian’s laughter grew louder.

“Maybe Young Master Ge’s size is normal right there. It’s just that it looks clearly so petite when compared to Old Qin’s measurements.”

Lin Liqiang’s last comment of ‘petite’ made Xue Tian bellow in greater laughter without end. Qin Fen could only faintly smile to the side. Though this method was a bit vile, it was able to embarrass the high and above Ge Bing, so it was all right.

Ge Bing hurriedly left the restroom with a dark face. Qin Fen made his way back to his dining table and saw that Ge Bing was still there. He was a bit surprised. He thought that Ge Bing would leave after being humiliated. He never thought that Ge Bing would actually be calm and composed enough to sit here, leisurely cutting a steak on the table before him.
