From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 503 Snatching Opportunities, Treasures, and Women: The Protagonist and I Are Really No Match

In the original work, Earth actually faced two real crises: one was the Golden Horned Beast, and the other was when space adventurers discovered Earth. The first Golden Horned Beast crisis brought humanity to the brink of extinction, and the second was the threat of turning Earth into a slave planet.

Now that Li Chengqian has driven the wedge into the Golden Horned Beast's egg, the Golden Horned Beast's self-generated consciousness has been scattered and replaced by him. The crisis facing the Golden Horned Beast can be said to have disappeared. As for the space adventurer, it will take several more years before he appears. This time is enough for him to enter the universe and gain ownership of Earth.

Therefore, he is not in a hurry. He needs to use these few years to reflect and digest the gains from the Meteorite Starship and the Golden Horned Beast.

However, real-world crises are always more unexpected than cosmic threats.

The next morning, a subtle atmosphere, different from usual, filled the dining table. Su Wan would occasionally glance at Li Chengqian with an expectant, worried, and somewhat strange look, hesitant to speak.

"Just say what's on your mind. The way you're looking at me is making me a little uneasy," Li Chengqian said helplessly, putting down his energy milk cup.

As if receiving a command, Su Wan immediately put down her chopsticks, leaned forward slightly, and smiled broadly: "Chengqian, look, you've settled down now, your strength has increased, and the martial arts school values ​​you more... It's just this important life event..."

Li Chengqian's brow twitched, and a sense of absurdity washed over him.

“Mom knows you’re busy, being a martial artist, you’ll definitely be even busier in the future. But you need to think about relationships sooner rather than later, right? Otherwise, all the good girls will be taken!” Su Wan said, getting more and more carried away. “Yesterday I had tea with some of my old friends, and they have quite a few good girls in their families. By the way, Xu Xin, do you know her? She’s in the same school and grade as you, and she’s a true lady from a prominent family. She’s beautiful, has a good personality, and is smart…”

Li Chengqian immediately felt a headache coming on. Xu Xin? The female lead from the original novel, Luo Feng's future wife? What on earth is this all about!

I've already taken Luo Feng's two most important opportunities, I can't take his wife too, that would be too much of a bully!

I'm not that kind of person!

The image of Xu Xin flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but frown...

Wow! I hadn't noticed that before, it's really nice!!

However, Xu Xin? The Xu family?

If he remembers correctly, the Xu family is a prominent family within the HR Alliance, and holds a considerable position...

He is different from Luo Feng. Luo Feng was born after the Great Cataclysm and did not receive systematic training in dragon-slaying techniques. He is different. As someone who has received nine years of training in dragon-slaying techniques, he has no liking for capitalists who try to get involved in politics once they have money.

Thinking of this, he frowned. "Isn't this too early? She hasn't even taken the college entrance exam yet, and besides..."

"What do you mean there was no college entrance exam? Are you confused? The college entrance exam is over. Everyone else has already registered for university and is already a college student. You didn't take the college entrance exam because you joined a martial arts school and became a martial artist!" Su Wan's expression changed, and she looked at her son with annoyance.

"Oh, the college entrance exam is over?!"

At this moment, Li Chengqian realized, "Oh right, the college entrance exam is over, and now even summer vacation is over!"

I can't help but marvel at how fast time seems to fly.

"Just one meeting! Just one meeting!" Seeing Li Chengqian's changing expression and hesitation, Su Wan quickly said, "Just consider it making friends, give your mother some face. The time and place are all set, tomorrow afternoon, at the 'Starry Sky Cafe' in the base city. The girl has already agreed, how can I save face if you don't go?"

"Your face doesn't look old." Li Chengqian nodded helplessly, not wanting to continue the conversation with Su Wan.

He didn't believe that this sudden blind date was just a spur-of-the-moment decision by a few old girlfriends to meet.

Within the HR alliance family, very few people truly have the authority to decide on their children's marriages... Considering Li Tianhao's recent promotion, which subtly reveals his influence in government departments, and the fact that Li Chengqian and Xu Xin were acquainted from the same school...

The HR Alliance recently suffered a major blow. The senior general of the Li family died in the headquarters in Jiangnan City. As Li Tianhao's status has been consolidated and Li Tianhao's new genius has risen, the Li family's influence has grown day by day. Although the Li family is not a member of the HR Alliance, its pillar warriors, Li Hui and Vinina, are members of the HR Alliance. The relationship between the Li family and the HR Alliance is very deep. The marriage between the two families meets the expectations of many people.

That's the main reason, isn't it?

Upon hearing Li Chengqian's agreement, Su Wan beamed with joy, as if a major concern had been resolved.

Jiangnan University, girls' dormitory.

Xu Xin held the phone, her delicate brows furrowed tightly, her face showing a hint of confusion and resistance.

"Mom, what did you say? A blind date? With Li Chengqian? Why so suddenly?" Her voice was full of confusion.

On the other end of the phone, Xu's mother's voice was gentle yet carried an undeniable authority: "Xin Xin, Li Chengqian is a martial artist from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and one of the most outstanding members of the Li family in this generation, with a promising future. His father, Li Tianhao, is currently enjoying great influence in the Yangzhou City Government. If the two families can form a marriage alliance, it would be the best choice for the Xu family and for you. This is the family's decision."

“But… I’m still in school, and I don’t even know him…” Xu Xin tried to struggle. Her impression of Li Chengqian was limited to nodding acquaintances at school. She knew he was the supposedly average but hardworking “clumsy student” who suddenly had a breakthrough and his abilities improved by leaps and bounds, and he had now become a legend at school. But the idea of ​​suddenly going to a blind date or even an engagement was completely unacceptable to her.

“Feelings can be cultivated slowly. The Li family has already agreed to the meeting, Xin Xin, you need to be sensible.” Xu’s mother’s tone became more serious. “This is not a small matter for you personally, it concerns the future of the family. The HR Alliance has been in turmoil recently, and we need to find new and reliable allies. The Li family is the most suitable choice.”

Xu Xin remained silent. Born into a wealthy family, she had long understood that her marriage was often not her own decision.

But when that day actually arrived, she still felt a sense of powerlessness and suffocation.

"I understand," she replied softly, her voice devoid of emotion.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xin walked to the window and looked out at the campus under the setting sun, her mind in turmoil.

Li Chengqian... what kind of person is he exactly?

The following afternoon, in the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan Base City, at the Starry Sky Cafe.

The environment here is elegant and tranquil, with soft lighting simulating a starry sky effect.

Li Chengqian arrived early and chose a seat by the window. With a quick scan of his mental energy, he discovered two seemingly ordinary but actually quite powerful martial artists in the corner, who were probably sent by the Xu family to provide covert protection.

A moment later, a girl wearing a simple yet elegant dress walked in.

With her delicate features, clean temperament, and calm, gentle eyes, Xu Xin truly gave people a very comfortable feeling, just as Su Wan had said.

Li Chengqian looked up at her and smiled. "You didn't expect us to meet like this, did you?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's slightly teasing tone, Xu Xin relaxed completely for some reason, nodded slightly and sat down, "Yes, I didn't expect that we would meet again after you left school."

When his gaze fell on Li Chengqian, it carried a hint of barely perceptible curiosity and scrutiny.
