SRGA Chapter 66: Bingning Luo is Your Girlfriend (Fixed)
An hour later, Lin Tian met Ouyang Fei.
He was surprised to find that, with his grandmaster-level martial arts skills, he could sense that Ouyang Fei possessed some internal energy.
Although the internal energy wasn't very strong, just having it was impressive.
By the mid-stage of Dark Jin, the qi in one's body would transform into internal energy. Ouyang Fei's cultivation was at least at the mid-stage of Dark Jin.
"This guy is quite good at hiding his abilities. Turns out he's a martial artist," Lin Tian thought to himself.
"Huh?"
"Lin Ge, did you go to Bat Country or something? It's only been a short while since graduation, and yet you look even more handsome than me?" Ouyang Fei approached Lin Tian with utter astonishment.
"Ouyang, you're getting ahead of yourself. You used to call me 'Uncle' before," Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Damn, now that I've graduated, you still want to hold onto that title?" Ouyang Fei said irritably.
Lin Tian had good grades in high school. Despite falling ill during the college entrance exam, he still managed to get into an ordinary university. His grades were much better than Ouyang Fei's.
Ouyang Fei often skipped class and relied on Lin Tian to help him catch up. During exams, he needed Lin Tian to highlight important points for him.
When he needed something, Ouyang Fei would call Lin Tian "Uncle" with a straight face.
In college, Lin Tian didn't have many friends, and Ouyang Fei was his best buddy. Despite not seeing each other for a year, they didn't feel any distance between them.
"Boss, just these skewers."
"And two cases of chilled beer."
The two sat down, and Ouyang Fei quickly ordered some food.
"Alright," he said as the waiter left.
"Lin Ge, do you remember that fight we had?" Ouyang Fei asked.
"The one in freshman year? Of course. A few punks came to our dorm causing trouble, and we ended up taking them down," Lin Tian replied with a smile.
Their relationship had grown closer since that incident.
Ouyang Fei's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia. "We both got punished for that, remember? And afterward, my dad gave me a good scolding."
"I don't remember giving you any scolding," Lin Tian chuckled.
"Shut up," Ouyang Fei rolled his eyes. "After that, my dad cut off my allowance and forbid me from getting into fights again."
"Ah, so you're saying you've come clean now? Are you revealing that you're actually a rich second generation or a martial arts expert?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow.
"I..." Ouyang Fei felt uncomfortable being put on the spot.
He had indeed intended to say something like that, but Lin Tian beat him to it. It felt like throwing a punch into thin air.
"Yeah, I'm coming clean. I'm a rich second generation," Ouyang Fei admitted, "but I'm also a martial arts expert."
Glaring at Lin Tian, he said, "Since we're being honest, I'll admit that I'm actually a martial arts master."
Lin Tian chuckled. "Well, in that case, I'll come clean too. I'm actually a martial arts grandmaster."
"Damn," Ouyang Fei exclaimed.
"I'm telling you the truth," Lin Tian insisted. "If you're a martial arts grandmaster, then I'm a martial arts grandmaster."
Ouyang Fei rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right."
The cold beer arrived quickly, and with the hot weather, Lin Tian and Ouyang Fei started with a bottle of ice-cold beer.
"Are you saying all this to take care of me?" Lin Tian chuckled.
Ouyang Fei replied seriously, "Lin Ge, I didn't mention this after graduating from college, but maybe you could make a name for yourself out there."
"I know you're ambitious."
"It's been a year now, and the society isn't easy to navigate. Let me help you find a better job?"
Lin Tian looked at Ouyang Fei with a smile. He knew Ouyang Fei wasn't pretending. He genuinely wanted to help him out.
With friends like these, even one or two were enough.
"Lin Ge, give me your word," Ouyang Fei pressed on. "This society is quite ruthless. If you don't have a good job, it'll be tough to find a decent girlfriend."
Lin Tian remained silent, furrowing his brows, prompting Ouyang Fei to continue.
"Take a look at this," Lin Tian said, taking out his phone and showing Ouyang Fei a text message.
"Income of five million?" Ouyang Fei exclaimed. "Holy crap!"
Ouyang Fei's eyes widened.
This text message was the one from Zhao Xianglin's transfer, five million transferred, and it showed a balance of over six million.
"Ouyang, I have a girlfriend now," Lin Tian said.
Ouyang Fei stared at Lin Tian in disbelief for a moment before clearing his throat. "Lin Ge, isn't your girlfriend not even sixty this year?"
"Come on, what are you thinking?" Lin Tian retorted. "My girlfriend is very pretty and a bit younger than me. This money isn't from her; I earned it myself."
Ouyang Fei still looked skeptical.
Lin Tian took out his phone and opened a photo of him and Luo Bingning. It was taken in the welfare home, with Luo Bingning smiling innocently, her beauty unparalleled.
"Wow, isn't this Luo Bingning?" Ouyang Fei exclaimed. "And she's your girlfriend?"
Ouyang Fei's eyes widened in disbelief; he couldn't believe it.
Surprised, Lin Tian asked, "You know Bingning?"
Ouyang Fei took a deep breath. "In the upper circles of the capital, most of the younger generation probably know Luo Bingning."
"She's stunning, of course, but there are many beautiful girls in the capital. Some are even on par with her."
"But Luo's family has only her in the third generation. The assets of the Luo family, estimated to be tens of billions, will all belong to her in the future. And there are rumors that the Luo family has funds overseas, possibly even more."
"The total assets of the Luo family may well exceed a hundred billion."
Surprise flickered in Lin Tian's eyes.
Luo's family has assets overseas?
Thinking that Luo Yongqian might be associated with the mysterious Dragon Group and have hidden assets abroad, it made perfect sense.
- If they were to target foreign forces, using overseas funds would be much more convenient.
"With Luo Bingning's looks and the Luo family's assets of hundreds of billions, do you know how many young talents in China have their eyes on her?" Ouyang Fei asked seriously.
"She really is your girlfriend?"
Lin Tian nodded. "Why would I lie to you?"
Ouyang Fei furrowed his brows. "You haven't been together for long, have you? Otherwise, you might already have encountered trouble."
"In the capital, there are two top young masters who are interested in Luo Bingning."
"Who are they?" Lin Tian asked.
"One is named Zheng Guangyao. The Zheng family's assets exceed a hundred billion, with investments in various industries."
"The other is Chen Jianfeng. His family isn't in business, but even Zheng Guangyao has to call him 'Brother Chen' when they meet. You should be able to guess what kind of family he comes from."
Lin Tian nodded slightly, thinking of the Red families.
Compared to these top young masters, Li Feng and his group were just small fry, hoping to benefit from the situation.
"Lin Ge, consider it carefully. Should you break up with Luo Bingning?" Ouyang Fei asked worriedly.
Lin Tian chuckled. "Ouyang, we live in a society governed by law. The Luo family is not weak either. Do you think they would dare to act recklessly?"
Ouyang Fei frowned. "They may not act rashly, but it would give hope to others. And those others might take action."
"For a few hundred million or even billion, many people are willing to trample on the law. The temptation of a hundred billion in assets is just too great."
"Lin Ge, although they say it's better to die under the peony than to live like a beggar, you still shouldn't take such risks."
Lin Tian smiled. "Ouyang, didn't I tell you? I'm a martial arts master. I have no reason to fear them."
"I..." Ouyang Fei felt like he was about to spew out old blood.
"Then let's finish the drinks and find a place to practice. If you can't beat me, I think you'd better break up," Lin Tian proposed.
Two hours passed, and Lin Tian and Ouyang Fei finished their drinks.
"I'll take you to a place," Ouyang Fei said.
Half an hour later, Ouyang Fei brought Lin Tian to an abandoned building.
"I often come here to train. It's spacious and no one will disturb us. Lin Ge, feel free to make your move," Ouyang Fei said casually.
At the mid-stage of the Internal Energy realm, he was quite formidable for his age.
"Alright, then prepare yourself," Lin Tian said as he threw a punch towards Ouyang Fei's chest.
Ouyang Fei gathered his internal energy, preparing to withstand Lin Tian's punches and show him the strength of a mid-stage Internal Energy realm martial artist.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound echoed as Ouyang Fei's body flew out five or six meters.
He was completely stunned by Lin Tian's punch.
"Ouyang, are you okay?" Lin Tian approached and helped Ouyang Fei up.
Ouyang Fei couldn't believe it. "Lin Ge, you're really skilled in martial arts. How come I didn't know about this during our four years in college?"
Lin Tian chuckled. "There are many things you don't know about me."
"Wanna go again?" Ouyang Fei nodded.
Although Lin Tian had sent him flying with that punch, Ouyang Fei didn't believe he was inferior.
"Come on!" Ouyang Fei swiftly threw punches.
"Boom, boom!" The two exchanged rapid blows.
Lin Tian easily blocked all of Ouyang Fei's attacks.
"That's enough, that's enough." Ouyang Fei stepped back. "Lin Ge, you're stronger than me, but don't talk nonsense. There are no martial arts masters in our country nowadays."
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. No martial arts masters?
