103: Chapter 103 Marrow Cleansing Pill

" Could it not be mutual affection? "

Shen Xingchen asked irritably.

" Tsk tsk~ " Song Xinghan looked Shen Xingchen up and down again. " It is rumored that Jiang Qingyao indeed has a boy she likes, and he is not in Shanghai Shenwu. Are you sure she and you share mutual affection? "

Ever since enrolling, Jiang Qingyao had constantly attracted attention due to her stunning appearance.

Even Song Xinghan had heard of the name of the top campus belle of Shanghai Shenwu.

Jiang Qingyao's appearance was indeed perfect; even Song Xinghan had to admit she couldn't compare in looks.

However, Song Xinghan didn't think it could be such a coincidence that just by casually stepping out of the school gates and chatting about gossip, she would run into the campus belle's deeply missed little boyfriend.

" Is it hard to believe? " asked Shen Xingchen.

Song Xinghan laughed and said, " How do you expect me to believe you? Although your strength is very strong, Jiang Qingyao is not that superficial either. "

Although there were some girls in the school who attached themselves to the strong at a young age or were even kept as mistresses,

Jiang Qingyao had no such scandals.

She cultivated very diligently every day, moving back and forth between her dormitory, the cafeteria, and the cultivation room in a triangular route, living a disciplined life.

Song Xinghan continued, " You have no idea how many boys in the school are pursuing Jiang Qingyao. They have both good looks and strength, but getting even close to her is difficult. "

Shen Xingchen raised an eyebrow: " Didn't you say Jiang Qingyao said she has a boy she likes? And people are still pursuing her? Aren't they afraid of being beaten up by her boyfriend? "

" Uh, as for that, I don't get it either. " Song Xinghan tilted her head.

Shen Xingchen took a deep breath: " Little sis, do me a favor. "

" Who are you calling little sis? I am older than you! " Song Xinghan expressed dissatisfaction.

Ignoring her dissatisfaction, Shen Xingchen continued, " Help me beat up those boys pursuing Jiang Qingyao. "

" Are you serious? " asked Song Xinghan.

Shen Xingchen thought about it again: " Forget it, I'll make a trip there myself! "

" Ah!? " gasped Song Xinghan.

Why was this person sounding more and more outrageous? Could he really be Jiang Qingyao's boyfriend?

This...

If the person Jiang Qingyao liked was Shen Xingchen,

then she could understand why so many boys in the academy couldn't approach Jiang Qingyao.

After all, since her boyfriend was already so outstanding, how could she possibly fancy those subpar fellows?

Shen Xingchen asked again, " When are you going back to school? I'll go with you! "

It was time to ramp things up for all those toads eyeing a swan in Shanghai Shenwu!

This matter was simply a matter of utmost urgency.

" ??? " reacted Song Xinghan.

Was he really this enthusiastic?

Song Xinghan finally asked, " Show me a photo of you two or something. "

Shen Xingchen took out his phone, opened the photo album, and casually flipped to one.

Song Xinghan looked over.

That was a photo with only Shen Xingchen and Jiang Qingyao.

Jiang Qingyao's head was tilted, leaning against Shen Xingchen's shoulder, looking extremely intimate.

Moreover, completely changing her usual icy image, Jiang Qingyao was smiling like a gentle little kitten.

" It actually really is you! " Song Xinghan's little face was filled with astonishment.

With such an intimate photo, there was no doubt they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

" Let's leave right now. " Shen Xingchen said to Song Xinghan, and then went over to the banquet area.

Xue Hezai and Song Jinqiu had also reached the end of the banquet.

" Old Xue, you are just too loyal. If it weren't for Xiaoqi, Youji wouldn't have been able to hurt you! "

" Why bring up those things! "

" I just feel it's a pity. If you weren't injured, you might not have been unable to take that step! "

" This kind of thing depends on fate! "

" ... "

" Old Xue, it's about time. We'll gather again next time. " Song Jinqiu was half-drunk, waving his big hand with a heroic and bold demeanor.

" Good! "

Shen Xingchen spoke up, " Teacher, let's go take a stroll around Shanghai Shenwu. "

" Ah, that's a good idea. " Song Jinqiu chimed in.

Just as Xue Hezai was about to nod, he suddenly felt a surge rise within his chest.

" Cough—— "

A very heavy cough sounded.

Xue Hezai covered his mouth with his hand, then opened it to look.

It was blood!

" Teacher! " Shen Xingchen cried out anxiously.

" Old Xue, you... " Song Jinqiu was also startled.

Xue Hezai's face instantly turned a bit paler as he gave a bitter smile: " As expected, forcibly using the power of the Xiang Realm will still cause a backlash. "

" ... " Indescribable feelings welled up in Shen Xingchen's heart.

He had originally thought that his teacher's injuries were gradually improving, and coupled with his own trump cards, he could already display the strength of the Xiang Realm.

Was he actually just forcefully holding on all this time?

Moreover, his teacher's injuries worsening this time was simply because he wanted to stand up for him...

Xue Hezai smiled indifferently: " Don't worry, just recuperate back at the academy for a while and it'll be fine. "

" Old Xue, just how severely are you injured? " Song Jinqiu's expression was worried.

After so many years, has that past injury not changed at all?

Xue Hezai didn't mind it much: " It's nothing, I won't die. It's just that the number of times I can display the strength of the Xiang Realm has decreased by one more time. "

" Sigh! " Song Jinqiu sighed.

Xue Hezai said guiltily: " Teacher won't be able to go to Shanghai Shenwu with you. You can go along with the Xinghan lass. "

Shen Xingchen said heavily: " Let me go back to the academy with you first. "

If he were to let his teacher go back alone like this, his conscience wouldn't feel right.

" Very well. "

Knowing what Shen Xingchen was thinking, Xue Hezai didn't try to persuade him otherwise.

" Going back like this, is it safe? " Song Jinqiu asked.

" That is really looking down on people! " Xue Hezai complained.

As the dignified chief commander of Snowfield Dragon City, would he still need to consider security issues within domestic territory?

Afterwards,

Blind Liu " gifted " the cultivation resources he had accumulated over half his life to Shen Xingchen.

When the few of them left, they even tearfully bid each other farewell, which was quite touching.

...

The " Meritorious " battleship.

This was an aerospace battleship slightly smaller than the " neutron star " battleship.

This was Xue Hezai's private battleship.

When Xue Hezai retired, it was officially rewarded to this old man.

It both highlighted his status and represented honor.

Sitting in the inner cabin, Xue Hezai took some healing pills and began to hold his breath and meditate.

Shen Xingchen first texted Song Xinghan to discuss punishing the " die-hard simps " around Jiang Qingyao.

In the end, the two reached a consensus.

After returning to school, Song Xinghan would pick a few of the most " thorny " simps to warn everyone.

In return, Shen Xingchen had to agree to a fair battle with her without using the Heaven-Extinguishing God-Slaying Slash.

That was actually quite simple.

Without the Heaven-Extinguishing God-Slaying Slash, wasn't there still the dragon-patterned cyan jade sword?

If worse came to worst, he could just give her two of Sword Saint Cui Ping's sword qi...

Regarding Jiang Qingyao's matter,

Shen Xingchen completely set his mind at ease.

He believed in Song Xinghan's strength.

Someone who could cultivate to the fourth rank by the age of 20 could surely handle something like " simps causing a nuisance ".

" After some time, I still need to make a trip to Shanghai in person! "

Shen Xingchen muttered to himself.

Next,

Shen Xingchen took out the storage bag gifted by Blind Liu, which contained half the family fortune accumulated by a tier-nine martial artist.

It was evident that Blind Liu liked collecting weapons very much.

Rank five to rank eight spears, longswords, daggers...

In short, Shen Xingchen wouldn't have to worry about weapons for a long time.

Finally, he flipped through and found a jade slip.

Generally speaking, the more precious the carrier used to write text, the higher the value of the text represented.

A jade slip was considered a fairly high specification.

Shen Xingchen curiously opened it to take a look.
