Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 788: Chapter 787 Arrogant Boyfriend

Fu Dewei sighed, his daughter truly lacked any sense at all. The others were clearly arrogant, not taking you seriously, can’t you see that?

”So it is a master from Changtian Martial Arts Hall,” Fu Dewei said softly, ”Since Elder Master Li himself has left seclusion to come here, then we can certainly rest assured.”

In saying this, Fu Dewei was actually testing Li Siyuan.

Li Siyuan was forthright and simply laughed, ”Master Foo need not worry at all, as long as my grandfather has come out of seclusion, everyone can be entirely at ease. This matter will surely be handled properly by our Changtian Martial Arts Hall!”

Fu Dewei nodded gently, not saying anything more. A single attempt at probing was enough to clarify the situation with Li Siyuan for him; the man was merely someone riding on his family’s coattails.

”Dad, let’s go take our seats first. The contest is going to start soon,” Foo Qinglan said with a smile.

”Alright!” Fu Dewei nodded slowly, ”Qinglan, I’m still feeling some discomfort in my chest. Come sit with me later, will you?”

Foo Qinglan clearly seemed reluctant, but she still had to nod, ”Okay.”

Li Siyuan frowned slightly and spoke softly, ”Master Foo, the seats for our Changtian Martial Arts Hall are in the very middle. From there, you have a clearer view. Why not let Qinglan come over?”

”It’s no trouble,” Fu Dewei said, ”Qinglan is a girl who has not practiced martial arts, what does she need such a clear view for?”

Li Siyuan said, ”But these seats are extremely coveted. Many people would fight tooth and nail to be here but can’t get the chance!”

”Then how about I send a disciple over to sit with you?” Fu Dewei said coldly.

Li Siyuan’s brows furrowed as he looked at Fu Dewei with growing dissatisfaction.

”Does Master Foo think the arrangements of my Changtian Martial Arts Hall are not good enough?” Li Siyuan said in a deep voice.

”That’s not it, but can’t my own daughter sit with me for a while?” Fu Dewei said with a frown.

”This seat, I obtained it by asking my eldest uncle. You’re saying no just like that; are you trying to disgrace me, or to disgrace my Changtian Martial Arts Hall?” Li Siyuan said gravely.

Fu Dewei looked at Li Siyuan coldly, ”According to you, if I were to die today, my daughter would still have to go sit there?”

”Dad!” Foo Qinglan panicked, ”Siyuan didn’t mean it like that!”

”Shut up!” Fu Dewei snapped angrily, a rare outburst: ”Go sit with your senior brother!”

”Dad...” Foo Qinglan tried to speak again.

Fu Dewei exploded, ”Are my words not to be heeded?”

Foo Qinglan had never seen her father so angry, and in the end, she could only leave in quiet resentfulness. As she left, she looked at Li Siyuan with a face full of helplessness.

Li Siyuan’s expression turned cold as well, ”Master Foo, are you venting your anger on your daughter, or on me?”

”What does the way I teach my daughter have to do with you?” Fu Dewei said sternly.

”Fine!” Li Siyuan replied coldly, ”Master Foo, remember what you’ve said. Between us, there’s no connection. After tonight’s event, I hope you can still say the same!”

”Fine!” Fu Dewei replied coldly, his displeasure with the arrogance of the Changtian Martial Arts Hall was already simmering. And the audacity of Li Siyuan only fueled his rage even more.

He hadn’t planned on confronting the people from Changtian Martial Arts Hall, but at this point, he couldn’t back down.

He only had this one daughter, and while her partner could be penniless, his character must be impeccable. On matters concerning his daughter, he would never back down either.

Returning to his side, Foo Qinglan was seething in her seat. Upon seeing Fu Dewei return, she angrily turned away, refusing to even look at him.

Fu Dewei sighed and said softly, ”Qinglan, I’m doing this for your own good...”

”How are you doing this for my good?” Foo Qinglan retorted angrily. ”I get a boyfriend, and this is how you treat him? Is this what you call looking out for me? If you really cared for me, why don’t you consider what I actually want? You only ever show kindness to people like Zhao Ping’an. Have you ever thought about my feelings?”

Fu Dewei said, ”Qinglan, I know you look down on Ping’an because his family is poor. But when choosing a boyfriend, what matters is character, not family background. What good is a fine family if the person’s character is lacking?”

”A good family means bad character?” Foo Qinglan argued fiercely. ”So, if the family is poor, the character is good? Dad, what kind of logic is that?”

Fu Dewei said, ”That’s not what I mean. Character has nothing to do with a family’s wealth or lack thereof. But the problem is, this Li Siyuan’s character is just not up to par!”

”And Zhao Ping’an’s character is good? He caused such a mess, pushed you into a corner, then ran off, even taking your money with him. Is that what you call good character?”

Foo Qinglan turned to face Fu Dewei and snapped, ”Dad, you say character and family background aren’t related, but let me tell you, they are closely tied. A bad family background means no good character. Ever heard of ’bad land breeds trouble’? Do you understand what that means?”

Fu Dewei couldn’t restrain his anger: ”I was poor since I was a child, does that mean my character isn’t good either?”

Foo Qinglan, feeling frustrated, said, ”Dad, I’m talking about Zhao Ping’an, why are you bringing yourself into this? You’re just talking nonsense!”

”Didn’t you just say ’bad land breeds trouble’?” Fu Dewei retorted angrily. ”My family was very poor; aren’t you referring to me?”

”Oh, Dad, I’m not going to argue with you about this,” Foo Qinglan said. ”As for tonight’s matter, you decide what to do. Elder Master Li has personally come out of seclusion; the Hu Family is definitely doomed. And Siyuan said, after tonight’s martial arts competition, Changtian Martial Arts Hall will reorganize the Liuan City Martial Arts Alliance. Siyuan was originally going to help us. Now, do you think he will still help us?”

”Reorganize the Martial Alliance?” Fu Dewei’s brows furrowed; this statement made him faintly sense that Changtian Martial Arts Hall had some ambitions of its own.

”What do you think?” Foo Qinglan said. ”You’re still counting on that so-called prodigious Zhao Ping’an? Can he even compare to Changtian Martial Arts Hall? Dad, seriously, you’ve become so muddled with age!”

Fu Dewei didn’t respond, but was lost in thought.

About half an hour passed, and the martial arts competition finally began.

The stage was set up in the center of the estate. Those seated here were mostly representatives of the major martial arts schools.

Naturally, the best seats were reserved for the Hu Family and the members of the Changtian Martial Arts Hall.

After the Hu Family announced the rules, the competition began immediately.

First up were representatives from three different martial arts schools facing off against the Hu Family. But without exception, none of the three schools could defeat even one member of the Hu Family. The gap in strength between them was simply too wide.

However, no one seemed to care about this. Their attention was still fixed on the Changtian Martial Arts Hall.

The audience felt reassured now that Li Changtian had taken charge; he was their mainstay. This contest was sure to be Changtian Martial Arts Hall’s main battleground!
