Chapter 504: Blind Date
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 Wentians 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.
Youre 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. Im his daughter. My name is Tang Qingqing. The young womans beautiful eyes were as clear as water as she stared at Chu Yunfan.
Wheres your father? He invited me here and now refuses to meet. No matter the reason, this isnt very polite, Chu Yunfan said as he frowned slightly.
Seems like you really dont know, Tang Qingqing said, Ill 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 dont know what Father is thinking, but he reckons youre 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 dont believe it. Youll 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 Qingqings palm touched Chu Yunfans 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 Yunfans attack had landed. She circulated her True Energy, and the bruise on her palm shortly melted away.
What? You dont 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.
Theres no need. Although youre only at the fifth level of the Acquired Stage, youve definitely stepped into the seventh level in terms of combat strength. Youre even more powerful than me whos at the seventh level. Its unbelievable really. Ive 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, youre considered one of the strongest in your age group. My father is right. You are a good match for me. Were indeed quite suitable.
Although Im 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, its no use trying to force it. Im sure youve heard of this principle. Weve never met before and have no feelings for each other. And now you want to try dating? Dont 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 wouldnt understand. We descendants of aristocratic families may look glorious, but we dont have the power to make our own decisions regarding marriage. Ive understood this principle since I was young. I will have to choose someone to marry. Instead of choosing a piece of trash, I think youre not a bad choice.
If we get together, well definitely be a strong and powerful alliance. Ill 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 wont 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, Ill scratch yours. Well support each other.
Chu Yunfan was flabbergasted. He said, Im sorry. I think we have different views on this matter. This isnt an ambition of mine.
Tang Qingqing sighed and said, Thats a pity. Frankly speaking, youre considered one of the more outstanding ones in the range that I can choose, but youre right. Theres no use in trying to force something. Im not so cheap that no one wants me, so I will not pester you. In that case, lets 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, youre 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 arent 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 isnt 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.
