Romance of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 51

When Wang Chao thought back to the crying man, his heart felt a little tired.

“Wang Chao, get in the car. We’ve invited a person to get eat, you’re coming along too.”

“Jia Jia, who’s this person?” The lady looked at Wang Chao with a look of doubt.

“He is my friend and fellow disciple of martial arts with my grandfather Li. Grandfather Li is his teacher so he came to see him.” Zhu Jia boasted of Wang Chao’s identity.

“Ah.” The lady’s eyes began to shine as she listened. Scrutinizing Wang Chao closely now, she looked as if she recognized him, “Grandfather Li’s next generation disciple? It’s no wonder I saw him earlier this morning when I came by.”

“I have some matters to take care of back home, Zhu Jia, you have fun in Beijing for a few days.”

Wang Chao spoke declined diplomatically. Although he knew that Zhu Jia bringing him to dinner would mean a meal with plenty of other young rich ladies and a better development for his future, he wasn’t interested at all.

This type of allure was a feast for the rich and powerful. To the martial art immersed Wang Chao, it would only serve to bring his mind to a disorderly state and slowly corrode his willpower.

Daoist practices generally involved withdrawing from the secular world, but Wang Chao hadn’t yet withdrawn himself yet. His mind was not yet like a newborn and his willpower was not yet like steel. If he were to try and forge his way into the world and then be tempted by such wealth and power, then he would definitely be lost to it.

Knowing how he would conduct himself in such a situation, Wang Chao gave it some thought before finally outlining a path of cultivation for himself.

After Zhu Jia had called to him, Wang Chao gave a smile. With no further word, he turned around and left.

Zhu Jia would have never imagined that Wang Chao would decline her invitation. As Zhu Jia turned red in the face, the rich daughter in the car with her looked at Wang Chao’s retreating back with a stunned look.

After some time, Zhu Jia recovered with a slight sniffle and an apprehensive mutter, “If you don’t go, that’s fine. Hmph. Let’s go!”

“What’s wrong, Jia Jia, is he not your boyfriend? Did you have a lover’s quarrel?” The lady asked.

“Hmph! Even after I helped him, he’s still unable to see that!” Zhu Jia snorted.

The rich daughter laughed for a moment before setting the car into drive.

It wasn’t until night time that Wang Chao had returned home. He spoke several words to his parents, saying he had gone for a trip before giving another phone call to Li Wanji that he was would be going to practice by himself. In that time, Zhao Xinglong would be his representative.

Li Wanji had been very cooperative and agreed to Wang Chao’s request.

With every last thing taken care of, Wang Chao isolated himself for several days. Soon, a cold frost descended upon the entire city, rivers, lakes and roads.

On an early morning with snow blanketing the ground, Wang Chao stepped on the road towards the southwest.

Wang Chao wanted to travel like in the time of the previous century to inspire himself. To travel the rivers, the frosty mountains, the prairie and the mountain ridges, Wang Chao wanted to admire the sights and get rid of any distracting thought.
