Chapter 369 Thought Too Much_3
"Mm, I've already returned to Shenming,"
"Then come over to the company quickly."
Shortly after, Liu Wentian hung up the phone, looked at Li Chuyue, whose head had originally been leaning on Liu Wentian's phone but now moved away, and huffed, "Go on."
She said she had accepted Bai Ruguo's declaration of war, but in her eyes, it was just a farce, and she never truly took Bai Ruguo as a competitor.
As for the naive Bai Ruguo who had declared war on her, she didn't dislike her; rather, she found her stupidity quite endearing.
Liu Wentian gave an apologetic smile, dropped Li Chuyue off at the morning flower shop, then headed straight to Feige Entertainment in his Ferrari.
Upon entering the company, many people cast glances his way. After the previous series of events, he had become a well-known presence in Feige Entertainment.
He was in exceptional health, and his facial swelling had already subsided. Otherwise, it would have certainly drawn a crowd.
As he passed by the bodyguard training room, Liu Wentian glanced inside. Li Kaishan and Xu Gang, among others, were there, but Qing Enna was absent.
A sense of melancholy suddenly filled Liu Wentian; he wondered where the foreign girl had run off to. It had been many days with no news; when she returned, he would surely give her a good talking-to!
"Liu Wentian!" Bai Ruguo, who was discussing something with Sister Hong in the office, saw Liu Wentian and couldn't help but show a look of delight, whereas Sister Hong tactfully left.
Then, noticing the odd look in Liu Wentian's eyes, Bai Ruguo felt a sudden tightness in her chest and asked anxiously, "Liu Wentian, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
She wondered, could it be that Liu Wentian had figured out she went to see Li Chuyue? Would he despise her actions? Would he think she was crazy? Would he think she was shameless?
For a moment, Bai Ruguo felt insecure, her fingers twiddling the hem of her blue-green dress, her delicate, jade-like face tense.
Going to challenge Li Chuyue had been Li He's idea, and in her daze, she had simply gone. Li Chuyue had indeed accepted her challenge.
When she returned to her senses, she suddenly realized how absurd that behavior was.
How stupid!
Later, when she complained to Li He that the approach was stupid, Li He seemed astonished when she heard the name Li Chuyue.
"Nothing serious, I'm just a bit puzzled. Miss, you rushed to call me over, is there something wrong?" Liu Wentian said.
Though he understood why Bai Ruguo went to find Li Chuyue, it was still somewhat awkward to bring it up directly. Better to pretend he didn't know.
Bai Ruguo, relieved that Liu Wentian didn't seem to know about her visit to Li Chuyue, shot him a look and pouted, slightly annoyed, "You're my bodyguard, so isn't it normal for me to call you over now that you're back?"
This left Liu Wentian with nothing to say; her point was valid.
Bai Ruguo's eyes shifted, then she said, "Since you're back, why don't you accompany me out? Let's go watch people fight in the ring. I haven't been out in such a long time."
"Fight in the ring?" Liu Wentian was stunned. Do people still do that these days?
"Yes!"
Bai Ruguo nodded, her expression becoming indignant, "Over at Yi Plaza, there's an Island Nation person who has set up a ring there. Recently, he's been challenging Huaxia's martial artists in the media, blatantly disrespecting us. He even said our Huaxia Kung Fu is trash. Now, not just Shenming City, but the whole nation knows about this!"
As she spoke, she handed Liu Wentian a newspaper.
Liu Wentian glanced at it. A prominent headline read, "Is Huaxia Kung Fu Really Just a Joke?"
The irritation showed on Liu Wentian's face as he raised an eyebrow.
The article detailed that a Karate Grandmaster from the Island Nation had set up a ring at Yi Plaza and was challenging all Huaxia martial artists. Anyone who could defeat him would win ten million Huaxia Currency. However, those who lost had to declare Huaxia Kung Fu trash, unfit to be compared to Karate, before they could leave the ring!
The challenger had made it clear: Huaxia Kung Fu was worthless. To learn real martial arts, one had to study at his Karate dojo! His aim seemed to be to promote his Karate dojo, starting with Shenming City and then expanding throughout Huaxia, with his remarks showing sheer arrogance, disregarding Huaxia Kung Fu entirely!
This had outraged many Huaxians, as Huaxia Kung Fu was renowned globally and a source of national pride!
However, according to the report, this person did have considerable skills and had already taken a tour through the local martial arts schools of Shenming City, with none of the school masters able to match him!
One who taught Bagua Palm even ended up in intensive care, but since he had signed an agreement beforehand, nothing could be done legally.
According to the report, this ring challenge had even caught the attention of the whole nation!
Liu Wentian, seeing these arrogant remarks from the Island Nation person named Tanaka Hideyuki, smirked coldly.
From his perspective, this guy was a joke. The truly powerful ancient martial artists of Huaxia wouldn't usually appear in mundane circles.
Setting up a ring in the mundane world meant nothing to the real ancient martial artists of Huaxia, who might view him as nothing more than a buffoon. Likely, no one would bother with him; the guy could only bully ordinary people.
