Chapter 53: Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance

Translator: 549690339

Originally, Chen Shuai, Zhou Yiwen, and others were eating, drinking, and shooting the breeze at the place Zhou Yiwen had booked.

As they talked, they found they were hitting it off more and more and getting increasingly excited. Plus, with other students leaving, and as night fell, Zhou Yiwen simply decided to open up another private room.

This newly reopened private room not only housed the original members of the “Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance” from Classes three and four, but they also used communication talismans to reach out to like-minded individuals from Classes one and two.

The scale and influence of the “Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance” suddenly doubled!

Basically, all the male students from Wuyue Advanced Middle School’s senior year with a bit of family background and influence had arrived.

What drove their collaboration was not any lofty ideals, but rather their dissatisfaction with Jiang Cheng.

If the nobody Jiang Cheng managed to win over their goddess Lin Yao, it would be like sticking fresh flowers into cow dung right before their eyes—a fate worse than death for them!

To prevent such a nightmarish scene from becoming reality, Zhou Yiwen and the others unanimously decided that they must do something to stop Jiang Cheng!

For the male cultivators present, facilitating a match might require the right time, place, and harmony, as well as various metaphysical factors—in short, it was very difficult.

But if they wanted to destroy a match, like making Lin Yao hate Jiang Cheng, that was all too easy.

When a female cultivator falls for a male cultivator, in the end, what she really likes is his excellence.

If a beautiful female cultivator is with you, not for your handsome looks, not for your wealthy family, not for your youth and strength, not for your promising future, not for your humor and wit, then what is it for?

Is it for your dirty hair? Or for your stinky body?

Of course, there are those who are after money, but that’s another story.

In conclusion, as long as the people from the “Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance” could thoroughly trample Jiang Cheng’s advantages into the ground before Lin Yao…

Then they believed that after Lin Yao saw Jiang Cheng’s true colors, it would be impossible for her to like him.

A female cultivator, especially an outstanding one, with a sound mind would have no reason to like a worthless male cultivator who couldn’t compare to anyone.

The dozens of members from the “Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance” were among the best at Wuyue Advanced Middle School. Each of them had their own areas of strength, some in family background, others in innate talent, and some in wealth.

As long as they all used their strengths against Jiang Cheng’s weaknesses, it was impossible not to surpass him, right?

“I’ll take care of the money aspect. As for power, Chen Shuai, that’s where you come in,” Zhou Yiwen patted Chen Shuai on the shoulder.

Chen Shuai’s father was Chen Qiming, the director of the Forestry Bureau.

Although the Forestry Bureau was considered a minor office, according to the division of power, it was still a direct institution under the jurisdiction of the Prefect Mansion of Wuyue. The Forestry Bureau was responsible for the protection and planning of Wuyue’s forestry and land resources, and it had its own value.

“No problem,” Chen Shuai agreed.

Jiang Cheng’s uncle was a direct subordinate of Chen Qiming.

With his father’s authority, for Chen Shuai to pressure Jiang Cheng was like a cat playing with a mouse—an easy task, right?

After securing money and power firmly against Jiang Cheng, Zhou Yiwen skipped over appearances, ready to use talent to crush Jiang Cheng mercilessly.

“Where’s Brother Yue Ping?”

Yue Ping from Class one was the strongest in terms of cultivating talent at Wuyue Advanced Middle School. Not only had he achieved the cultivation level of the eighth Qi-training layer at a young age, but while he ranked in the top three in his academic performance, he also managed to win the first prize in the talisman drawing contest.

He was unquestionably far superior to Jiang Cheng, who only got the second prize.

“Seems he went to the bathroom.”

“Let’s wait for him then.”

As they were speaking, Yue Ping just happened to return.

However, there was a hint of dejection in Yue Ping’s expression at that moment.

The dejection on his face didn’t stem from pity over Lin Yao’s liking for Jiang Cheng, but from regret over his own timidity.

Earlier, Yue Ping had left the bathroom and was hurrying back to their private room.

On the way, he happened to encounter a female cultivator.

The female cultivator was dressed in a long-sleeved dress, with her sleek, black hair cascading down to her slim waist. The tips of her hair fluttered gently with every step she took.

Her walking posture was extremely graceful; to say that every glance was charming and every step bloomed like a lotus would not be an exaggeration.

Without needing to see her face, Yue Ping was one hundred percent sure that the female cultivator’s looks would not disappoint.

When the female cultivator reached the stairway corner and turned to go upstairs, Yue Ping just caught a glimpse of her profile.

Her exquisite face, indifferent gaze, and cool temperament immediately stunned Yue Ping as if he had seen a celestial being!

Yue Ping was one of Lin Yao’s admirers, but if it came down to preference, Yue Ping favored mature women with character rather than youthful girls like Lin Yao.

Pursuing Lin Yao was only because she absolutely outshone everyone else in terms of appearance. Other types of female cultivators paled in comparison to Lin Yao.

But now, Yue Ping was certain that the female cultivator he had just seen was no less stunning than Lin Yao!

And she was exactly the type of cool beauty he liked!

She was the kind of woman he could not even imagine in his dreams!

The only regret was that he had been a coward and hadn’t dared to follow her to ask for her contact details.

“Brother Yue Ping?”

“Ah?”

Yue Ping looked at Zhou Yiwen before him and snapped back to reality.

Oh, they were discussing how to deal with Jiang Cheng and protect Lin Yao.

But after having seen that female cultivator, Yue Ping felt that Lin Yao was just so-so.

Some might prefer young girls and continue to fancy Lin Yao.

But given the choice, he would definitely pick the cool female cultivator.

It’s not like he could have them all, right?

Since he had chosen the cool female cultivator, Lin Yao or not, it didn’t matter much to Yue Ping anymore.

If Lin Yao liked Jiang Cheng, then let her like him.

As long as that cool female cultivator didn’t fall for Jiang Cheng, it was fine.

“Brother Yue Ping, you are responsible for suppressing Jiang Cheng in academics and talent, no problem with that, right?” Zhou Yiwen had high hopes for Yue Ping.

Yue Ping’s talent was trustworthy.

Especially in this college entrance examination, Yue Ping had performed very well, while it seemed that Jiang Cheng had suffered a setback—wasn’t that a stable win?

Yue Ping’s mind was filled with thoughts of that cool female cultivator, and he was not very interested in Lin Yao anymore, so he was not that keen on helping Zhou Yiwen. However, seeing the expectant looks from those around him, Yue Ping ultimately agreed to Zhou Yiwen’s request.

For him, applying pressure to Jiang Cheng in studies or talisman drawing was just a small feat.

“Brother Zhou, although we’ve assigned tasks, what if Jiang Cheng refuses to accept the challenge, hiding like a turtle in its shell? What do we do then?”

Since a while back, many members of the Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance had been concerned.

They could have the best plans, but if Jiang Cheng didn’t respond to their challenge, didn’t come out to compete with them, or even avoided meeting them, leaving them with no way to exert their strength, what then?

Zhou Yiwen looked at Chen Shuai.

Chen Shuai smiled and said, “Jiang Cheng has a cousin named Sun Yuan. He’s in ninth grade this year, and he’s a decent student. He’s likely to be admitted to Wuyue Advanced Middle School after the middle school exams. My dad has a good relationship with Jiang Cheng’s uncle and Sun Yuan’s dad. When the time comes, Sun Yuan’s celebratory banquet for his school admission will surely invite our family. Moreover, as the older cousin, Jiang Cheng has to show up at his cousin’s banquet, right?”

A child’s academic success banquet is not about the child’s grades, but about the connections of the adults in the family!

When the Sun Family holds a banquet, the more important people they can invite, the more face the Sun Family gains.

The parents of the male cultivators present, aren’t they all prominent figures in Wuyue City?

Bringing a big red envelope to congratulate the Sun Family, they couldn’t possibly reject it, right?

Jiang Cheng will attend the banquet, and the people from the Anti-Jiang Cheng Alliance can go too.

Lin Yao will naturally attend as well.

In such a highly public event, they planned to humiliate Jiang Cheng thoroughly and let Lin Yao see Jiang Cheng’s true colors of being fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Would Lin Yao still like Jiang Cheng after that?

It seemed impossible.

The thought of Jiang Cheng being put in his place in front of Lin Yao made Zhou Yiwen and many others feel exceedingly satisfied.

Jiang Cheng being subdued, Lin Yao having a change of heart, everyone laughing and watching the emotional fool.

Just the thought of that scene was exhilarating!
