Re:Immortal Chapter 3

(Note: Just noticed… I forgot to put a t.i.tle to the previous chapter… anyway, it was supposed to be "Chapter 2 – The Master Lowers His Head")

Chapter 3 – Unforeseen Meeting

The Tongling Jade would spell disaster for ordinary people. No ordinary person would be able to handle the soul of the dead that resides within the jade. However, for Zhao Xingchen, this jade, together with the soul, is currently the most nouris.h.i.+ng material for strengthening his spirit.

The soul which resides within the jade would hasten the process of the integration of his spirit and body. As Zhao Xingchen held the jade token by his chest, he then absorbed the soul inside the jade into his body. As it entered, Zhao Xingchen could feel a strong energy flow around the entirety of his body.

Of course, the spiritual qi that came from the jade was far from meeting what Zhao Xingchen needed to get back to his peak. To advance his cultivation and return to his peak, he would need much larger amounts of spiritual qi. However, in his current situation, the amount from the jade was enough to put a smile on his face and even get him to get his girlfriend a present.

Having absorbed the soul inside the jade, Zhao Xingchen had cut off the former connection of the jade and its previous owner. The action symbolized the changing of owners, as well as the renewal of the jade.

"Xiaobei, slow down a bit. You're leaving us behind. Why are you rus.h.i.+ng anyway?" Suddenly, Zhao Xingchen heard a fairly familiar voice. When Zhao Xingchen turned his head over, he was stunned to see who it was.

Not too far from the Jade Emporium stood a middle-aged lady wearing a cheongsam. She was walking while speaking to a little girl who was walking ahead of her.

The girl turned around and looked at the lady with a trace of helplessness on her beautiful face, then she said, "Mom, didn't you say that you wouldn't contact him? Why'd you still ask him to go with us? I…"

The girl had yet to finish what she had to say when she saw someone over her mother's shoulders causing her to stand there with her mouth agape as if she saw a ghost.

The woman expressed her disapproval and said, "You might not be in a hurry, but I am! Xinyu's a wonderful kid, girls would line up for him. If you don't get a good grasp on him now, soon he'll be taken by someone else! Why do you even bother with that bot surnamed Zhao? Do you think he deserves you? Hm? What are you looking at?"

When the woman turned around, she saw Zhao Xingchen standing behind her. Her face changed, showing a trace of embarra.s.sment. However, she quickly calmed herself down and went to protect her daughter. She frowned and said to Zhao Xingchen: "Are you actually this messed-up? To actually track down my family's Xiaobei?"

Zhao Xingchen ignored her and calmly looked towards the girl. He then said, "Guan Xiaobei, didn't you say that you had to work overtime today?"

"Xingchen, let me explain…" The girl blushed as she stared at Zhao Xingchen with guilt in her heart. She wouldn't have thought that she would actually chance upon Zhao Xingchen. Now, she was really afraid of what could happen.

The lady then said impatiently, "Why are you still troubling her?! Isn't it clear? Zhao Xingchen, although Xiaobei may not be from that wealthy of a background, it isn't wrong for her to look for a proper boyfriend. Xiaobei's father has a decent position in the government. What about you? Your father worked as a mere policeman his entire life, while your mother worked as a cas.h.i.+er for some small company. Both of them had to earn their own salaries just so that they could raise you and have food at the table. Are you going to have my Xiaobei do such labor as well? Would you ever be able to provide her with a good life?"

Zhao Xingchen's expression remained calm, he then stared at Guan Xiaobei and asked, "So, have you really decided to break up with me?"

"Xingchen, I seriously don't want to…" Guan Xiaobei's face looked horrible, her eyes were filled with guilt as she stared at Zhao Xingchen. After all, they've been together ever since university, making this year the fourth year of their relations.h.i.+p.

"I've already made up my mind, and she has as well!" The lady waved her arms around, as she glared at Zhao Xingchen and said, "Little Zhao, if you truly like Xiaobei, then you should let her go! What would you be able to give her? If you continue trying to stay together with her, you'll only end up hurting her! Anyway, you're still young, you still have the time to find the one who's truly suited for you!"

Zhao Xingchen ignored Xiaobei's mother and stared intently at Guan Xiaobei as he asked, "Have you really decided to break up with me?"

Guan Xiaobei lowered her head, she couldn't even raise her head to look at Zhao Xingchen in the eye. When her mother saw that Zhao Xingchen continued to ignore her, she became infuriated. She then scolded, "Hey! I'm speaking to you! Is this how your parents taught you to act towards your elders?!"

"What's happening?" Someone had come over and asked curiously. He then turned his head and saw Zhao Xingchen. He frowned and said, "Little Zhao, what are you doing here? Did you come here with Xiaobei?"

Together with Guan Xiaobei's father, Guan Musheng, came a handsome young man wearing a white body-building outfit. The young man was holding a bouquet of roses and had a smile on his face. He glanced at Zhao Xingchen's eyes with a trace of contempt.

"Xiaobei, this is for you!" The handsome young man ignored Zhao Xingchen as he handed the roses he was holding to Guan Xiaobei.

Guan Xiaobei subconsciously said, "Thank you!" As she was reaching for the roses, she realized that her boyfriend was standing right there. When her hands were about to reach the roses, her hands suddenly came to a stop, her face then turned red in embarra.s.sment.

"Cough!" Guan Musheng coughed lightly before he went and introduced the young man to Zhao Xingchen: "This is Liu Xinyu, the executive director of Dawn Group. He's Xiaobei's… friend!"

Guan Xiaobei's mother then contemptuously said to Zhao Xingchen, "I bet you haven't even heard of Dawn Group. It ranks top in our city when it comes to business! Xiao Liu has been the director of the company since he was young, his future is limitless! He isn't like some people who have already graduated from university, and yet still remain as some employee with no future in some random company! Anyway, you should already get it by now! Whether it's your height, appearance, status, or future, none of it can even come close to Little Liu's! If you were a girl, who would you choose? If you really like Xiaobei, then you should just let her go, don't make things harder for her!"

Her mother's words seemed to have helped Guan Xiaobei make up her mind as she turned towards Liu Xinyu and took the roses which were being offered by him.

Guan Xiaobei's mother continued chattering, "As a man, you shouldn't just keep on thinking about yourself! Do you seriously want Xiaobei to live in the conditions at which you, yourself, are living in?"

"Can you just shut up for a few d.a.m.n seconds?!" Zhao Xingchen yelled towards Guan Xiaobei's mother. She was frightened as she s.h.i.+vered and looked at Zhao Xingchen incredulously. It seemed like she hadn't expected Zhao Xingchen to actually lash out like that.

Zhao Xingchen took out the jade token as he looked at Guan Xiaobei and said, "I was actually looking for gifts to give you for your birthday, but it seems like you're already dating someone else behind my back! If you didn't like me, you could've just told me, why did you have to cheat on me?!"

"Crack!" The jade token turned into powder in Zhao Xingchen's hands. Standing across Zhao Xingchen, Guan Xiaobei's mother then scornfully said: "Hmph! Would a poor man like you even be able to give Xiaobei anything of value?!"

The security guard of Jade Emporium, who was right next to her, then exclaimed: "Heavens! Mr.Zhao, that was a million-yuan ancient jade! How were you able to destroy it like that?"

The people in the surroundings, as well as Liu Xinyu, were then stunned still. Everyone was so shocked that they were all at a loss for words.
