Chapter 169: I do have a problem with what you just said.
Yao Shao didn't believe Zhang Jian's words at all. Instead, it made him more suspicious of Lu Chen. Whenever something is happening to Long Shen, Lu Chen is always the common denominator. Plus, remembering what happened at the restaurant made him even more pissed off as well.
And he wasn't alone in this thought as well. Even though what Yao Shao said is blunt, Long Shen and Tang Weimin agree with him. They found it odd. It was strange how Duan Cheng and the others knew the exact location of where their group was.
Tang Weimin felt it wasn't a coincidence for the thugs to find them so effortlessly. Somebody must have told them.
Long Shen remembers how one of the thugs talked about an employer. It had to be someone that had bad blood with him. The only logical person that would attack him would be Lu Chen!
While the two of them mulled over this thought, Lu Chen, on the other hand, couldn't help but laugh and cry in his mind.
Is this nitwit blessed by lady luck, or is he just running his mouth like always? Well, what you said is just digging your own grave.
While Lu Chen stays silent, Zhang Jian looks like he was about to blow a fuse. He snorts, " How do you have the balls to say that Lu Chen is the one who did it?! If you're saying that because Lu Chen and I have beef with your group, couldn't we say the same for you guys as well?!"
Zhang Jian isn't going to be accused of something that he didn't do. Especially not from Yao Shao. He continues, "And if we're going by your logic, shouldn't you guys be more suspicious than us? After all, Lu Chen had to deal with seven guys by himself, yet you people only had to deal with five. Then can't I say that you guys planted these thugs to make Lu Chen take the blame for it."
"Bullshit! Why would boss Shen need to use such underhanded tactics against mophead Lu?" Yao Shao looks to Lu Chen, "Anybody can tell that mophead Lu is a cheater and underhanded."
But Zhang Jian didn't budge at all as he smirks at him more, "Oh please. Stop fucking bull shitting with Long Shen being a saint. You're nothing more than a dog that follows everything his master says. And you're not even looking at the results. Look at the injuries Lu Chen has suffered; it's much worse than what you and Long Shen combined. The only reason why you're accusing us is that Lu Chen beat your ass the last time we met."
Zhang Jian understood why Yao Shao was hard accusing Lu Chen so much. Zhang Jian knows that the incident at the barbeque restaurant really hit his pride.
"YOU!" And what Zhang Jian said hit the nail right onto the coffin.
While Zhang Jian is smiling evilly at Yao Shao, Feng Meifeng glares at Long Shen's group. Pure disgust is on her face. At first, she didn't think that Long Shen's group would use such underhanded tactics to Lu Chen. The whole entire situation had been odd in her eyes as well.
Feng Meifeng knew Lu Chen is a victim as the thugs had already blurted out that they were after him. From how severe his wounds are, it's clear that the thugs and Lu Chen don't have any relationship with each other.
And even though Lu Chen had told the thugs some direction, she thought it was a spur-of-the-moment decision to help them escape.
Is this what you have been going through throughout these years? Seeing how Lu Chen is being accused and talked down to by Yao Shao, Feng Meifeng couldn't help but pity Lu Chen for what he's been through.
The situation between the two groups turns into a stalemate as both sides are suspicious of the other.
Yao Shao continues to glare venomously at Zhang Jian as this is the norm for him. However, he realizes Feng Meifeng is giving him a contempt look.
"What! Got a problem with what I said!" He knows that he couldn't win the battle of words with Zhang Jian. All that pent-up anger had now been directed towards Feng Meifeng, the closest person.
So arrogant and rude. Feng Meifeng continues to look at their group with disdain. She explains, "I do have a problem with what you just said. You're accusing student Lu Chen without having and evidence to support your claim."
Yeah Zhang Jian my boy at least you say something for your mute friend ?
Well to be fair he is mute because the claim is true [hahaha], he did send them to beat up Longdong lolol.
Author I keep waiting for your answer of my previous words, because I wait for them for a reply or an argument of yours by attitude of the MC that very passive, plus more 160 and I do not see that anything relevant has happened since mc does not act against his enemies in any way, how it is possible that it does not feel the urgency and it seems that you tell the story of the life that will be better but it seems to go 1 a day with mc (not bad) but if we continue like this we will go 300 chapters and just begin to climb steps there...
I think the confusing part is the pacing. In the story timeline only 1 or 2 weeks have passed. He’s still recovering. He still has to convince people to believe that he is no longer a “young master” type. Its not totally on him. Even though it pissed me off, even his mother said he was a bit*h and pansy. Everyone thinks he’s a coward, stupid, and runs away because that is who he was. He has to get people to change that way of thinking about him and he has a plan. Even the main women vying for his attention think of him as needing protection and help. I wouldn’t want to enter into a relationship like that when if you gave me two or three more weeks I could make the relationship one of equal footing. ..... still thinking about what his mom said about him AND using him to get “more daughters” while neglecting the fact he is already engaged AND she spent an entire night screaming and berating her own husband for having chicks flirt with him.....that was almost a story dropper moment for me. Then followed up with the kid photo album picture scene, allowing yourself to be emasculated AGAIN after everything he went through... oof. I know it’s for the LOLs but still. All he needed to do was to look at the picture and say “I was really cute as a baby. Don’t steal those pictures and do crazy things with them.” Totally flip the script on those two girls.
@Coheed27 It has good arguments but I’m still looking for a less passive character and the story is too slow and we’re talking more than 160 chapter :/
@Zerozamasu Agreed... I feel like this is going to be the impetus for a lot more aggressive action from LC to end the engagement. No idea on the lady front... maybe after the gaocao thingy...
@Coheed27 I hope that’s how you say
I don't understand you. There is urgency in his actions. It was displayed in the earlier chapters where he's gathering stuff to use for cancelling his engagement with Liu Fei Fei. He's also building his body and training martial arts. He's studying more at the library on stuff about business so he can take over when the family business goes under. I think the author's intention is that this is going to be a slow paced novel where the MC builds his life back up. If you want hyper aggressive MC's who'll immediately take revenge then there's thousands of xianxias available.
@aleisley Everyone has way of thinking can for you this good but for another not in conclusion you can not say that this right or wrong is just a personal opinion and not an attack on anyone.
Everyone has their opinion and I don’t think mine is a lack of respect an insult are just arguments that justify.
I doubt that the author will respond to you for two reasons. (1) He doesn't have to. You (we) are the reader. He is the author. He produces, we consume. (2) He doesn't really care. This is something he does for himself, because he enjoys it. If you were to pay him to write, he might care a little, I suppose.
Honestly, as much as I complain, it is mostly because I enjoy parts of the story and hate having a beta MC. I'd love to see him beat the crud out of Long Shen and serve Fei Fei to the gangsters from recent chapters. But, that wouldn't follow the who these characters are. Fei Fei is someone with status, which is well known by her fellow students. Long Shen... well, it is unclear why that sociopath has such influence; the students, at least a good portion of them, would need to be taking stupid pills to not see through him... hopefully the author is building towards this. This chapter will reveal to the class president, Aoi, and a few others, that Lu is not the helpless idiot mophead they supposed him to be and [as far as they know] could have been beating the absolute @#$% out of them all this time for the stuff they've done to him, which may lead them to believe [though they may be wrong] that he has been restraining himself.
I think that the last line of this chapter indicates that the class president has seen through them, which SHOULD BE a major step, along with the videos demonstrating heroic rescues and massive martial prowess, of fixing his reputation amongst his classmates and reversing the trend against his oppressors.
