After bidding farewell to Xu Baiwan, Chu Yunfan headed toward the restaurant Tang Wentian had invited him to, The Drunken Immortal House.

There was no doubt that The Drunken Immortal House was the largest restaurant in the vicinity. Chu Yunfan easily located it. The entire restaurant was decorated in an ancient style, with all sorts of resplendent and lavish decorations.

After entering The Drunken Immortal House, a waiter came over to inquire. After stating his name, Chu Yunfan was led into an elegant private room.

Chu Yunfan sat there, sipping his tea as he waited for Tang Wentian’s arrival.

But as the agreed time came and went, Tang Wentian did not appear. Chu Yunfan stood up. He did not lack patience, but since Tang Wentian was the one who invited him and chose not to show up, Chu Yunfan was not about to waste his time on this.

But the moment Chu Yunfan stood up, the door to the room opened. A young woman in her early twenties entered. She had a beautiful face and a tall and slender figure. She was dressed in a light yellow robe. Under the light of the lamp, her skin was as white as a pearl.

After entering the private room, the young woman sat down opposite Chu Yunfan.

“You’re Tang Wentian?” Chu Yunfan stared at this young woman with a stunned expression. If this young woman was Tang Wentian, then her name was a little too gruff.

“No. I’m his daughter. My name is Tang Qingqing.” The young woman’s beautiful eyes were as clear as water as she stared at Chu Yunfan.

“Where’s your father? He invited me here and now refuses to meet. No matter the reason, this isn’t very polite,” Chu Yunfan said as he frowned slightly.

“Seems like you really don’t know,” Tang Qingqing said, “I’ll be frank with you. My father arranged for us to have a blind date.”

“A blind date?” Chu Yunfan suddenly felt all this was a little ridiculous. How could Tang Wentian force him into a blind date? It had to be agreed upon by both parents at the very least.

“I don’t know what Father is thinking, but he reckons you’re a good match for me, so he asked me to come and meet with you,” Tang Qingqing said, “Father made you sound like a genius. I for one don’t believe it. You’ll have to prove it to me.”

As she said this, Tang Qingqing suddenly made a move. She aimed a slap toward Chu Yunfan. Her arm swept out like a long spear, and a wave of killing intent instantly rushed forth. This was not a girl who had grown up in a greenhouse. Tang Qingqing was without a doubt very strong and had been through hundreds of battles.

Although the attack was quite sudden, Chu Yunfan did not panic. With a shake of his arm, he chopped down like a machete. When Tang Qingqing’s palm touched Chu Yunfan’s arm, it immediately shrank back as if it had been struck by lightning.

After the failed attack, Tang Qingqing withdrew her hand and did not continue to attack. There was a bruise on her palm where Chu Yunfan’s attack had landed. She circulated her True Energy, and the bruise on her palm shortly melted away.

“What? You don’t want to try me any further?” Chu Yunfan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

Since both sides had only used their physical bodies from the beginning and had deliberately controlled their strength, they had not affected their surroundings in the slightest.

“There’s no need. Although you’re only at the fifth level of the Acquired Stage, you’ve definitely stepped into the seventh level in terms of combat strength. You’re even more powerful than me who’s at the seventh level. It’s unbelievable really. I’ve used medicinal baths to temper myself since I was young and have never been afraid of anyone on the same level as me, let alone be at a disadvantage,” Tang Qingqing said in a tone of amazement as she gazed at Chu Yunfan. “To have cultivated to this level at your age, you’re considered one of the strongest in your age group. My father is right. You are a good match for me. We’re indeed quite suitable.

“Although I’m two years older than you, ‘an older woman is more gentle and understanding’ so they say. And with the lifespan of modern martial artists, a difference of two years is negligible,” Tang Qingqing stated, “How about it? Do you want to give it a try?”

Chu Yunfan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, “‘If something is not meant to be, it’s no use trying to force it.’ I’m sure you’ve heard of this principle. We’ve never met before and have no feelings for each other. And now you want to try dating? Don’t you feel wronged being set up like this?”

“Wronged? Why would I feel that way?” Tang Qingqing said as she glanced at Chu Yunfan. “Oh yeah. You come from an ordinary family, so you wouldn’t understand. We descendants of aristocratic families may look glorious, but we don’t have the power to make our own decisions regarding marriage. I’ve understood this principle since I was young. I will have to choose someone to marry. Instead of choosing a piece of trash, I think you’re not a bad choice.

“If we get together, we’ll definitely be a strong and powerful alliance. I’ll help you become one of the core members of the Chus, and as your wife, I will also be able to reap a lot of benefits,” Tang Qingqing said, “You won’t be able to escape from the many rules of this world. Moreover, you can treat this as a form of cultivation. As the saying goes, if you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. We’ll support each other.”

Chu Yunfan was flabbergasted. He said, “I’m sorry. I think we have different views on this matter. This isn’t an ambition of mine.”

Tang Qingqing sighed and said, “That’s a pity. Frankly speaking, you’re considered one of the more outstanding ones in the range that I can choose, but you’re right. There’s no use in trying to force something. I’m not so cheap that no one wants me, so I will not pester you. In that case, let’s not waste any more time. I shall take my leave first.”

Tang Qingqing was straightforward. When she saw that it could not be done, she immediately decided to withdraw.

Not long after Tang Qingqing left, a tall and imposing man in a suit walked in with large strides. He looked somewhat similar to Tang Qingqing. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.

“Mr. Tang, you’re finally here,” Chu Yunfan said.

“Looks like the talk with my daughter did not go well. What a pity. Looks like you and my daughter aren’t fated,” Tang Wentian said, “Today was a little abrupt. But to be honest, Chu Yunfan, there are many good candidates within the Tang family. Tang Siyu isn’t the only one. As the saying goes, ‘a man without a wife is better off dead.'”

“We will surely never reach a consensus on this. No matter how good the woman is, what does it have to do with me?” Chu Yunfan said.
