System's Super Sect-Chapter 529 - 526, Just like love

"Ah——"

An prolonged wail echoed throughout the entire inn, causing those seated upstairs and downstairs eating to involuntarily look towards Wen Ping’s room.

The innkeeper’s assistant heard the commotion and quickly ran upstairs, trying to figure out what had happened, but was blocked by Long Ke.

"It’s none of your business!"

Being glared at so coldly by Long Ke, the assistant felt a chill run up his spine and hurriedly backed away with a forced smile.

After going downstairs, Wen Ping straightforwardly checked out of his room and then left the inn. Once Wen Ping was gone, only then did the assistant and the staff at the inn dare to go to the source of the scream. But upon pushing the door open, the room was empty.

It was the same as any other room.

Except for a pile of black residue on the floor.

...

As for Wen Ping and his group, they walked amidst the bustling crowd, with Long Ke looking around excitedly while also remembering to ask Wen Ping a serious question, "Sect Leader, where should we go next?"

"Just wander around, wait for news to explode in Celestial Industry City and Xuanse Lake!" Hearing Long Ke call him Sect Leader again, he certainly understood that she must have already forgiven him for giving her a scarred face.

To be honest, it was quite unexpected.

Then Wen Ping continued walking down the street, like a tourist, strolling and stopping, stopping and looking.

It could be seen that because this was not an area where ordinary people lived, there weren’t many street vendors. Occasionally there would be food sellers, but for the most part, they were selling celestial materials and treasures found outside the city.

For Wen Ping, looking at these things for too long would become dull; they were just ordinary items, so he simply continued looking ahead and proceeded forward. Then he hired a beast vehicle, sitting on it like a sightseeing tourist.

The man driving the beast vehicle could tell at a glance that Wen Ping was not from Celestial Industry City, so he talked about all sorts of trivial matters while driving.

Mostly trivial stories, many of which were about incidents involving two-star and three-star influences.

He subconsciously assumed Wen Ping must be a young master from some influence, looking to align with a power in Celestial Industry City.

"I’ll walk myself." Long Ke, becoming impatient, opened the door and directly jumped off the beast vehicle.

Wen Ping patted the Mountain Dog laying by his feet and said, "Take HaHa with you, so it’ll be easier to find me later."

"Mm."

After the Mountain Dog also jumped off the beast vehicle, Long Ke took it and walked down another street.

With Long Ke gone, the driver resumed talking.

"Young brother, I tell you, my daughter is at Huiye Sect. If you’re interested, you could give it a try. Huiye Sect is about to upgrade from a two-star influence to a three-star one." The driver seemed unaware that his chatter had already driven someone away.

But Wen Ping wasn’t bothered by the incessant babble; it reminded him of tour guides from his previous world, so he didn’t find it a big deal. With anyone else, they might have already kicked him and shouted, "Another word and I’ll kill you."

"Stop for a bit!"

Before long, Wen Ping suddenly ordered the beast vehicle to stop.

Through the window, his gaze fell upon the entrance of a mansion by the street, more precisely, on a man and a woman there.

The woman was young, possessed an extraordinary demeanor, and was likely very beautiful when she smiled. However, she was currently crying her heart out. She was being taken into the mansion by several burly men, and it was clear she didn’t want to go in.

Naturally, these small disturbances usually didn’t interest Wen Ping enough to stop and watch, much like he had no interest in what the driver had to say about Huiye Sect. But there was one statement that compelled him to pause.

A young man being restrained outside the mansion said, "Uncle, Tingting and I truly love each other, and I will definitely treat her well and make her happy... Tingting! Tingting! Tingting!"

Upon hearing this, the woman being taken inside suddenly began to struggle violently.

At this moment, the middle-aged driver suddenly spoke, "This man is named Chen Da, and he lives on the same street as I do. To be honest, he’s a rather clueless person; despite being a small character, he got involved with the eldest daughter of the three-star influence Fang family. It’s apparent to everyone that this relationship is bound to have no future, yet he stubbornly persists."

After listening, Wen Ping fell silent.

A small character in love with a "princess," a familiar plotline.

Come to think of it, in the previous world, Wen Ping had seen this scenario countless times in movies and novels.

Yet he couldn’t laugh it off, for they reminded him so much of his parents in this world.

His mother came from beyond Heaven and Earth Lake, a person of significance.

And his father was just a humble Sect Leader of a two-star influence.

Two people from different worlds suddenly intertwined, as the driver said, destined for no outcome.

"Destined?"

"I never believe anything is destined! Once you think so, you lose the courage to reverse it."

"Huh?"

The driver was momentarily stunned, unclear why Wen Ping would say such a thing.

Wen Ping did not explain, his gaze fixed on the woman being taken back into the mansion, and the door firmly closing afterward.

But the voice from inside could still be heard, "Brother Chen——"

Hearing the call from his beloved, Chen Da struggled even harder. Yet, he was merely a small practitioner of the Body Refining Realm, being held by two strong individuals from the Profound Realm, and no matter how hard he tried, it was futile.

"Truly oblivious, how can a mere Body Refining Realm like you give my daughter happiness?" Not far from Chen Da, a tall, thin man turned around coldly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd to fall upon Chen Da.

"Uncle, I will do everything I can! Also, the amount of happiness one can have is not determined by realm and power. Give me a chance, and I will certainly provide Tingting with a happy life."

Chen Da’s eyes were resolute!

They conveyed an unarguable feeling.

Truthfully, Wen Ping also believed that Chen Da would surely give that woman happiness.

However, her father seemed not to wish for his daughter to be happy, so he was unmoved by Chen Da’s words.

"Happiness? Can happiness earn you a place in Celestial Industry City?" The Fang family man smirked disdainfully, "I initially thought you were just daydreaming, but I didn’t expect you to still be so naive. Do you think my daughter can be as mediocre as you for life? If she follows my guidance in cultivation, she’ll surely stand atop the Divine Profound Realm, and her man will surely be a powerhouse from beyond the Divine Profound Realm. And you?"

"But Tingting doesn’t want such a life. As her father, shouldn’t you grant her the life she desires?"

Even though the Fang family’s words were realistic, Chen Mountain didn’t give up.

He understood that giving up meant losing everything.

"Enough with the nonsense!"

The Fang family man raised an eyebrow coldly, clearly having reached his breaking point. After signaling the two Profound Realm individuals beside Chen Da, he turned to leave. "Throw his body outside Celestial Industry City for the fierce beasts."

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to disperse the onlookers, "What are you all looking at? There’s no spectacle to see here at the Fang family, disperse!"

As his words fell, one of the Profound Realm individuals already unsheathed a blade.

In that moment, the outcome seemed sealed!

The onlookers sighed, then turned away. The driver wore a disappointed look as well, "Young master, let’s continue our journey..."

But stopping midway, he turned back, only to find Wen Ping was no longer on the beast vehicle!
