God of Pets

Chapter 298 This person has a problem
"What are you doing here?" Chen Guan was pondering how to make money when he suddenly heard a familiar voice beside him.

Chen Guan looked up and saw Jiang Mo looking at him with a surprised expression.

Chen Guan was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Didn't you ask me to come?"

After another moment of thought, Chen Guan understood what was going on.

"I should have thought of that earlier. How could someone like Jiang Qiemo possibly ask for help in person, let alone have Jiang Tianqing relay the message?"

Chen Guan hesitated for a moment, but didn't point it out. He smiled and said, "I heard there's something interesting to see here. I've come to join in the fun. Am I too late?"

"It's not too late." Jiang Qiemo was just a stubborn person, but not stupid. He shook his head and sighed, "Was it my cousin who told you?"

"I heard you're aiming for the top three spots on the Tiger Ranking. How could I miss out on such a moment of glory? Count me in!" Chen Guan said with a smile.

“We’re just one person short. Let me introduce you. This is Gu Nanquan. We had a conflict with the Zhang brothers. The three Zhang brothers threatened to prevent us from making it into the top three of the Tiger List. I’m thinking about how to take the top three.” Jiang Qiemo explained the general situation to Chen Guan.

Jiang Qiemo and Gu Nanquan met during a battle on the Human Ranking. Despite Jiang Qiemo's abilities, he fought Gu Nanquan to a standstill, and in the end, even when he was exhausted, he only managed to defeat Gu Nanquan by half a move.

Gu Nanquan greatly admired Jiang Qiemo. After leaving the fighting arena, the two had a pleasant conversation, during which Gu Nanquan praised Jiang Qiemo.

These flattering words wouldn't normally be a big deal; in places like this, there are plenty of people who flatter each other.

However, by sheer coincidence, the three Zhang brothers overheard Gu Nanquan praising Jiang Qiemo as he was passing by.

The three Zhang brothers were very disdainful and made sarcastic remarks from the side, which eventually put both sides in an awkward position.

The three Zhang brothers then said that they would prevent Jiang Qiemo and his group from making it into the top three of the Tiger List. But Jiang Qiemo was not one to admit defeat, and he was determined to suppress the three Zhang brothers.

Chun Mantang and Mantangcai are the eldest and third brothers of the Zhang family, ranking first and third respectively. Jiang Qiemo has risen to second place, and Gu Nanquan has risen to fourth place.

The second son of the Zhang family is currently in fifth place. The top spots in the "Human Ranking" category of the Tiger List have been taken by these few.

Chen Guan frowned as he listened. This Longhu Mountain Secret Realm was Zhang's territory. You're fighting with Zhang's people on Zhang's territory. Only Jiang Qiemo would do something like that.

There are countless masters in the world, so why are only the three Zhang brothers and Jiang Qiemo among the top few on the Human Ranking? It's clear that everyone is giving face to the Zhang family, and no other masters are continuing to try to climb the Human Ranking.

Moreover, Chen Guan felt that this was a bit of a coincidence. How could it be that Jiang Qiemo happened to meet someone like Gu Nanquan, and then the three Zhang brothers overheard Gu Nanquan praising him?

Chen Guan suddenly realized that Jiang Tianqing had asked him to come over, and it probably wasn't just to ask him to help Jiang Qiemo get into the top three.

"Qiemo, why did the three Zhang brothers make sarcastic remarks back then?" Chen Guan asked Jiang Qiemo directly in front of Gu Nanquan.

"I just praised Brother Jiang a couple of times, and they couldn't stand it and started to mock him, saying that Brother Jiang was all talk and no action, and that he was only famous because he activated the Hundred Flowers Divine Mirror. They said his real talent and ability were nothing special. I couldn't help but argue with them. It's my fault. I shouldn't have argued with them and made things like this," Gu Nanquan said with a guilty look.

"What did you praise Qiemo for?" Chen Guan asked Gu Nanquan.

"He didn't say anything, it was all from the bottom of his heart. Brother Jiang is the number one among the younger generation, invincible in one-on-one combat among his peers..." Gu Nanquan said matter-of-factly.

Chen Guan frowned. Jiang Qiemo was famous because he made all the flowers bloom on the Hundred Flowers Divine Mirror. No one had done this before him, so he was known as the person with the strongest talent.

However, to say that Jiang Qiemo is truly the best in the world and invincible among his peers because of this would be a gross underestimation of the world.

Jiang Qiemo is indeed very strong, but among the people Chen Guan knows, there are several whose talent and ability are no less than Jiang Qiemo's, and this is even considering that Chen Guan hasn't met many people. Even Jiang Qiemo himself wouldn't truly believe that he is invincible among his peers.

However, given Jiang Qiemo's personality, he would never back down if the Zhang brothers provoked him; in fact, he would be very happy to accept the challenge.

Chen Guan looked at Gu Nanquan and suddenly smiled and said, "What you said is right, Qiemo is indeed rare among those of the same level."

“Yes, that’s what I think too. Those three Zhang brothers are too petty and jealous of Brother Jiang. They just want to provoke us. We should just beat them into submission,” Gu Nanquan said.

Chen Guan nodded: "Brother Gu is right. Let's start pushing for the rankings. There are only a few days left for the rankings this month. Brother Gu, you haven't made it into the top three yet. You need to step up your game."

"Don't worry, I can definitely make it into the top three. You've only just arrived, brother. It won't be that easy for you to break into the top three in just a few days, will it?" Gu Nanquan paused and then asked, "May I ask your name, brother?"

When Jiang Qiemo called Chen Guan just now, Gu Nanquan was not nearby, so he did not hear what Jiang Qiemo called Chen Guan.

Jiang Qiemo did not call Chen Guan by name, and there is probably no one here who knows Chen Guan.

"Fellow Daoist," Chen Guan said calmly.

"What?" Gu Nanquan didn't react at all.

“My name on the Tiger Ranking is Fellow Daoist.” Chen Guan looked at Gu Nanquan and said, “Brother Gu, go ahead and try to climb the ranking. I just arrived. Have Qiemo take me to get something to eat first, and I’ll come over to try to climb the ranking after I’ve eaten.”

“I’ll go with you; there’s no rush,” Gu Nanquan said.

“Brother Gu, you go ahead and try to climb the rankings. I can take him myself,” Jiang Qiemo said.

"Alright then." Gu Nanquan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After Jiang Qiemo and Chen Guan left Gu Nanquan, Chen Guan said to Jiang Qiemo, "Didn't you realize that there's something wrong with Gu Nanquan?"

“I saw it. Not only did I see it, but I also knew that he deliberately provoked the three Zhang brothers by praising me and then made a bet with them,” Jiang Qiemo said calmly.

"Since you know that, why do you still want to compete with the Zhang brothers for the Tiger List?" Chen Guan didn't understand what Jiang Qiemo was thinking.

“Why not? The three Zhang brothers are all outstanding among the younger generation. I usually can’t find a good opportunity to fight them. Now that I have the chance to let them fight me with all their might, why not?” Jiang Qiemo said.

"I'm afraid that Gu Nanquan isn't simply trying to provoke you into a fight with the Zhang brothers, but has other motives," Chen Guan said.

Jiang Qiemo smiled and said, "I've figured it out. Gu Nanquan has placed a big bet, betting against the three Zhang brothers that they won't be number one on the leaderboard this month."

"It seems Jiang Tianqing's worries were unnecessary," Chen Guan said with a smile.

“My cousin and I grew up together, and he always thought of me as a child, so he took good care of me,” Jiang Qiemo said.

"What are you planning to do?" Chen Guan asked.

"Originally, I only wanted to compete against the three Zhang brothers; I didn't intend to win first place," Jiang Qiemo said with a smile.
