Chapter 766: Immortal Ah!
Chapter 766: Immortal Ah!
"Dad?"
Song Ningran stepped off the helicopter, looking at Song Hua Jun with some surprise. "Why are you here waiting for me?" she asked. "And why did you bring so many people?"
She actually knew what Song Hua Jun intended to do but didn't call him out on it. After Qin Heng disembarked, she naturally wrapped her arm around his and said with a smile, "Dad, this is my friend. His name is Qin Heng."
Friend? Not boyfriend?
Song Hua Jun was taken aback at first. Then, he subconsciously nodded and looked towards Qin Heng, opening his mouth but finding himself at a loss for what to call him.
Call him Little Qin? Honestly, he didn't have the guts to do that.
After all, Qin Heng had arrived by helicopter, was dressed so elegantly, and carried such an air of superiority. Who would dare call him Little Qin?
After hesitating for a moment, Song Hua Jun finally spoke up. Forcing a smile onto his face, he said, "Hello there, Young Master Qin."
After thinking it over, that was the only title he could come up with.
"Hello," Qin Heng nodded slightly, glanced at Song Hua Jun, and then at the group behind him. "Thank you for coming to greet me," he said. "I heard earlier that you've arranged a blind date candidate for Ran Ran."
He got straight to the point, his gaze settling on the elderly matchmakers who were clearly evasive and furtive, not even daring to look him in the eye.
"This, this..." Song Hua Jun's expression changed slightly, and he stuttered a bit. But he was an honest man from the mountains and wasn't good at lying. In the end, he nodded and said, "That's right. Li Yan, the third young master from the Lis of Yu State."
"Good," Qin Heng nodded lightly and said indifferently, "Now that I'm here, there's no need for this Li Yan to go on a blind date with Ran Ran."
In Qin Heng's view, the best way to handle such situations was to cut through the chaos decisively. It was necessary to assert dominance from the start to avoid more trouble.
Song Hua Jun was so intimidated by Qin Heng's lofty demeanor that he was speechless for a moment, unsure what to say. He now certainly saw Qin Heng as a big shot.
Song Ningran stood by, biting her lip, but ultimately held back. She knew in her heart that Qin Heng was doing this to help her, and that she couldn't say too much at this moment.
"Who are you? Who do you think you are?" one of the matchmakers stepped forward. She was a woman in her fifties with a pockmarked face and a black mole on her eyebrow. Pointing at Qin Heng, she demanded, "Who are you to say that Young Master Li Yan need not come?"
"Do you know how powerful the Lis of Yu State are? You whippersnapper, this is not a place for you to be arrogant! Hehe, if you offend the Lis, I'm afraid you..."
"Hmm?" Qin Heng turned his head and glanced at the matchmaker. She immediately stiffened as if struck by lightning, freezing in place, her expression blank.
BOOM!
Suddenly, a dull thud was heard as the matchmaker flew sideways, crashing against the signboard at the entrance of Lin Xia Village, causing it to wobble on the brink of falling.
Then, with a THUMP, she fell to the ground, coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, twitched once, and fainted without even a chance to scream.
Silence!
Utter silence!
Everyone present went quiet, too afraid to speak. They all looked at Qin Heng with horror, as if they had seen a ghost.
Terrifying!
Truly terrifying!
With just one look, he had sent the matchmaker flying to crash against the signboard and faint, her fate unknown. This is too terrifying! Is he still human!? Can humans really do such things? And just who is this young man who looks so lofty and arrogant?
"Ran Ran, this, this..." Song Hua Jun couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at Qin Heng. He turned to Song Ningran and stammered, "You... the person you brought back... who... who is he? An Immortal?"
People from the mountains tended to have a strong belief in ghosts and spirits. After all, strange things sometimes occurred in the mountains, as they were relatively rich in Spiritual Energy, which naturally led to more unusual phenomena for mortals.
"For ordinary people like us, Qin Heng really can be considered an Immortal," Song Ningran said, her expression complex and her tone somewhat sentimental.
Actually, she didn't know how to describe Qin Heng anymore. A being who could destroy mountains with a wave of his hand, travel at supersonic speeds, and even teleport through space—calling him an Immortal didn't seem to be a problem.
"Oh my God! An Immortal! Really an Immortal!?"
"Ran Ran actually brought back an Immortal! My heavens, this is unbelievable, too unbelievable!"
"An Immortal! There really are Immortals! So, could the dragons in the mountains be real as well?"
After hearing what Song Ningran said, everyone present exclaimed in shock, looking at Qin Heng with reverence. Many of them knelt down right there, in front of Qin Heng.
Song Hua Jun also wanted to kneel, but he felt a gentle force wrapping around him, preventing him from doing so. His gaze instinctively turned to Qin Heng.
He saw Qin Heng nodding and smiling at him.
The Immortal smiled at me, and he won't let me kneel!? Song Hua Jun was astonished. He involuntarily looked at Song Ningran, only to see her smiling at him, which made everything clear.
So Ran Ran really is friends with this Immortal! It makes sense that he wouldn't let me kneel; after all, they are friends. However, he is an Immortal, so respect is still due. Thinking this, Song Hua Jun, though unable to kneel, still bowed respectfully to Qin Heng to show his reverence.
"Let's go," Qin Heng nodded slightly. Apart from Song Hua Jun, he didn't even glance at the others. He walked on, saying, "Ran Ran, take me to your house for a look."
"Sure!" Song Ningran followed, at the same time saying to Song Hua Jun, "Dad, we're going."
"Ah, okay," Song Hua Jun quickly nodded.
Soon, Qin Heng, Song Ningran, and Song Hua Jun left the village entrance, leaving behind those who had come with Song Hua Jun, staring dumbfounded at the three receding figures.
"Incredible! Incredible! The Songs' girl is turning into a phoenix!"
"It's still uncertain, though. The Lis from Yu State are not to be trifled with; they're a major family with hundreds of years of heritage!"
"Hehe, there's gonna be a good show!"
The people began whispering among themselves.
「In the Yu State city area, the Lis' estate.」
This was the largest and only villa estate in the North River District of Yu State, spanning over twenty thousand square meters. It featured top-notch garden architecture, a beautiful environment, and was marvelously crafted.
Li Yan, the third young master of the Lis, was drinking with a few friends in his detached villa, accompanied by over a dozen glamorous models. His friends were also children of the wealthy in the North River District.
However, ordinary wealthy families couldn't compare with major clans like the Lis, so these rich kids were all flattering Li Yan.
"Hehe, Third Young Master, I heard you're going on a blind date in a couple of days," one of them said, chuckling. "Man, she must be an exceptional beauty; otherwise, why would someone like you bother with a blind date?"
"Hahaha, I'm just playing around. I've never tried blind dating before!" Li Yan took a swig of his drink and laughed. "But you guys just wait and see. Haha, that girl named Song Ningran is truly beautiful! Even the top models or stars don't look as good as her. Just looking at her photos, you can tell she's top quality! I must have a good time with her, and I'll make sure to shoot a video for you guys! Hahaha!"
