Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 434 434: Couldn't Be More Coincidental

"What? Yingying's background is that impressive?!" Lin Guo'er exclaimed, her eyes filled with disbelief. This girl usually kept such a low profile, yet her background was so powerful? It truly shocked her.

At this, Lin Kuang also froze for a moment. Xu Yingying was Grandpa Xu's granddaughter? That meant she was the very same Yingying from all those years ago. The thought left him speechless. He hadn't recognized her at all; she looked so different from the girl he remembered.

"Ah, Guo'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you," Xu Yingying said, a hint of apology in her gaze. "It's just... that's my dad's and grandfather's status. I'm just an ordinary student, so I didn't think there was any need to bring it up."

"Giggle. You, with such an impressive background, and you didn't tell me. You're too naughty," Lin Guo'er said with a grin.

"No, not at all," Xu Yingying replied, a little embarrassed.

"AHEM. Big Sis Yingying, do you remember me? I'm Lin Kuang from the compound," Lin Kuang said, stepping past Lin Guo'er. His voice held a trace of inexplicable excitement. Suddenly meeting a childhood playmate was a wonderful feeling.

Hearing his voice, Xu Yingying paused, her beautiful eyes turning to Lin Kuang. "You... you're saying you're Lin Kuang? Little Kuang? Grandpa Lin's grandson?" she asked with growing excitement, her eyes scanning him up and down.

"Yes, I'm Little Kuang. I'm Lin Kuang. My father is Lin Guodong, and your dad is Xu Juncheng," Lin Kuang confirmed, clarifying the names so there would be no misunderstanding.

Upon hearing his words, Xu Yingying's body jolted, and joy immediately filled her beautiful eyes. "So it's really you, you little rascal! You've grown up so much!" she said happily, instinctively reaching out to ruffle his hair.

Lin Kuang didn't protest. On the contrary, an expression of pure enjoyment spread across his face. When they were young, she had always liked to pat his head just like this.

Xu Yingying, however, had forgotten that he was a grown man now. As her palm touched his head, she instinctively felt that she had been too rash. But just as she was about to pull her hand back, she saw the blissful smile on his face. Her own smile deepened.

This rascal hasn't changed a bit. And now he's Guo'er's man... Life is truly unpredictable. In her eyes, Lin Kuang was still the same little brother who used to follow her everywhere.

"Big Sis Yingying, long time no see. You've become even more beautiful. I didn't even recognize you," Lin Kuang said with a grin, feeling exceptionally good.

Hearing that, Xu Yingying's hand gently patted his head again. "You rascal, still such a sweet-talker."

"I'm not! Big Sis Yingying really has become prettier," Lin Kuang insisted earnestly.

At his words, a slight blush crept onto Xu Yingying's pretty face. "Alright, you've become very handsome yourself. I didn't recognize you either."

"Of course. I've always been this handsome," Lin Kuang said without a shred of modesty, which made Xu Yingying giggle. He really hadn't changed at all.

"AHEM. Yingying, you two know each other?" Lin Guo'er asked curiously.

"Know each other? This little guy was playing with me back when he was just learning to walk," Xu Yingying said with a hint of nostalgia.

"That's right. Big Sis Yingying was still wearing split-crotch pants back then," Lin Kuang added with a perfectly straight face.

At that, Xu Yingying's pretty face instantly turned crimson. "You little brat, spouting nonsense again!" she said, rapping him on the head with her hand, though not with any real force.

Lin Kuang didn't mind in the slightest. In fact, he chuckled, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Giggle... split-crotch pants! Oh, Yingying, even I've never seen you wearing those," Lin Guo'er teased, her beautiful eyes twinkling as she looked at Xu Yingying, making the other girl's face flush an even deeper red.

None of them noticed, however, that upon hearing the name "Lin Kuang," Yao Wenwen's expression had darkened, and a complex look had entered her eyes.

Yao Wenwen was no ordinary person; she was a member of the Yao Family, an ancient martial arts family. Back at Yashi Company, Yao Zhao and Yao Hui had tried to seize a sword but were defeated by Lin Kuang. That Yao Zhao was Yao Wenwen's own brother.

As they were full siblings, Yao Wenwen naturally knew what had happened to her brother in the East Sea. However, she was still a little uncertain if the man before her was the one who had defeated her brother, as she couldn't feel any True Qi fluctuations coming from him.

"AHEM. Lin Kuang, is it?" Yao Wenwen finally spoke up. "May I ask, did someone named Yao Zhao come looking for you before?"

"Er, I think there was someone like that. He wanted to take my Nameless," Lin Kuang replied after a moment's thought.

Hearing this, Yao Wenwen's expression changed. "I'm his sister, Yao Wenwen," she said directly.

Lin Kuang was stunned. He had just been reunited with a childhood friend, and now he'd run into an enemy's sister. Was this a blessing or a curse?!

"Ah... what a coincidence. Hello, hello," Lin Kuang said quickly, his tone laced with embarrassment.

"It's not a very good coincidence. My brother won't recover for at least ten to fifteen days," Yao Wenwen huffed.

"Uh, Wenwen, you two know each other too?" Xu Yingying asked, also curious. This was simply too much of a coincidence. How did they all know each other?

"Hmph! Of course I know him. Who wouldn't dare to recognize the great Lin Kuang?" Yao Wenwen said with a huff.

Hearing her words, both Lin Guo'er's and Xu Yingying's expressions shifted. From Yao Wenwen's tone, it was clear there was some bad blood between her and Lin Kuang! The two women glanced at each other, not quite sure what to do about this situation.

"Hmph. I didn't expect you to know both Guo'er and Yingying. Fine. How about this: after the party is over, we'll have a match. If you win, the matter is settled. If you lose, you give me Nameless," Yao Wenwen declared.

"AHEM. Are you serious?" Lin Kuang couldn't help but ask as he looked at her.

"Of course! It has to be this way!" Yao Wenwen stated with a determined look.

"Alright then, I'll indulge you. But no getting sore when you lose," Lin Kuang couldn't help but remind her.

If Yao Wenwen were just another troublemaker, he would have killed her without a second thought. But she was a good friend to both Lin Guo'er and Xu Yingying; he couldn't bring himself to act so ruthlessly.
