MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 763: Parochialism

The moment Wang Yu shifted the chair over and sat down, he sensed a murderous intent again. It might not be as turbulent as it was from the three old men but its murderous intent was much more intense.

“??” Wang Yu looked over, puzzled. That was when he spotted a beautiful young woman staring at himself, with a few men beside her looking at him with enmity too.

Wang Yu whispered to Wang Fei, “Who is this girl? Does she not welcome me at all?”

“Li Yujie!” Wang Fei replied.

“Sh*t!” Wang Yu cursed.

Li family’s eldest granddaughter, Li Yujie, was the most talented in the family. Not only did she have great looks and was popular amongst youngsters, but she was also highly skilled in martial art techniques. Her charisma gained her tons of her followers around.

Wang Yu was more appalled when he realised that she was the first one Old Wang matched him for marriage. They were compatible in every single aspect, from family background to personal talents.

However, when he matched with this popular girl, Wang Yu was not even interested to greet her and walked away almost immediately when they met. Naturally, she would feel insulted and disrespected.

The guys around her were most probably some of the disciples of influential families who wanted to win her heart.

Not only could they not match Wang Yu in terms of family background, but they also could not even defeat Wang Yu in a battle…

Wang Yu was really confused by their loyalty to Li Yujie, as these “Mr Perfect”s were just making themselves look like losers by ‘helping’ Li Yujie.

After realising Li Yujie’s identity, Wang Yu felt even more awkward than before.

“Hi…” Wang Yu went ahead to greet Li Yujie nonetheless.

“Hmph! You are Wang Yu?” Li Yujie scoffed at Wang Yu after checking out his looks.

“Yes, I am…” Wang Yu replied, “I’m really sorry about us…”

Just as he wanted to complete his apology, Li Yujie sneered and replied, “Us? Why would you apologise when we have no association with each other?”

“Uhh…” Wang Yu was stumped for words.

Li Yujie responded immediately, “Listen up, we did not agree on anything regarding our marriage, and I did not even consider you. So don’t think too highly of yourself!”

“That’s good, that’s good.” Wang Yu exclaimed with relief. He just wanted to get this matter over and be done with.

“What do you mean by that?” Wang Yu’s relief seemed to trigger Miss Li again and she snarled, “What, do you feel that I am not a match for you?”

“No, no, since this matter does not really matter much to the both of us, there is no need for you to be so worked up about it,” Wang Yu replied calmly.

“Hmph! Of course, it would not matter to you, you are not the one who was embarrassed when we first met!” Li Yujie sneered again.

Helpless, Wang Yu replied, “So what do you want me to do?”

“Pretend to woo me just for me to dump you after that. Once that is done, we’re clear!” Li Yujie replied.

Everyone on the table was dumbstruck. Only a girl as exotic as Li Yujie would think of an idea like that.

“Don’t be crazy. I have a wife,” Wang Yu replied, rejecting her idea without a second thought.

After hearing Wang Yu’s response, Li Yujie was furious and asked, “Which wild girl did you marry? How dare you compare her to me?”

“None of your business!” Wang Yu replied with a cold face after hearing Li Yujie’s rude questions.

Wang Yu only apologised to her because he felt bad, but he could not stand anyone insulting Mu Zixian. Luckily Wang Yu knew that Li Yujie was being bossy just out of habit and probably did not mean those words, if not he would have beaten her up even if she was a girl.

“You!!” Li Yujie was furious that Wang Yu disregarded her like that, and wanted to fight.

Wang Fei went up to Li Yujie immediately, trying to pacify her, “Sister Yu, don’t mind him. His brain is used solely for martial arts and nothing else. How about me? I am not married, you can consider me. I’m better at treating you right than him.”

“Go away, Fatty Wang, don’t be silly.” As Li Yujie replied, the guys behind her stood up and tried to condemn Wang Yu amidst the commotion.

“All of you, get lost!” Li Yujie dismissed the group of people in front of her and pointed to Wang Yu and said, “Wang Yu, I am just competitive. I dare you to bring your wife here now, I want to see if she is really better than I am.”

This way of forcing someone to like you even if they don’t, isn’t it similar to what animals do?

At this moment, a voiced appeared and said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If they do like you, they will accept all your flaws, but if they don’t, all your ‘perfections’ will not matter a tiny bit to them. Do you really want to compare who is better?”

Wang Yu turned his head and saw Mu Zixian.

“Oh? Aren’t you with Mother? Why are you here?” Astonished, Wang Yu asked. As a female in the Wang family, she was not supposed to be with the guests.

Mu Zixian smiled and said, “This place looks really sick, so I came to take a look.”

“Who is she?” Li Yujie asked while staring at Wang Yu.

Wang Fei introduced her before Wang Yu could say anything, “My sister-in-law.”

“You are his wife?” Li Yujie reckoned Mu Zixian from head to toe, and continued asking, “Which family are you from? Why have I not seen you before?”

Since there were very few girls who knew martial art, upon seeing someone who was better than her, the competitive Li Yujie was bothered.

Neither servile nor overbearing, Mu Zixian said, “I have not seen you before too! I am not from any sect or guild associated with martial arts.”

“Haha!” Li Yujie laughed, having heard what was being said, “Wang Yu, I didn’t know that you have such a bad taste that you married a normal person.”

People who practice martial arts have a sense of superiority. In their eyes, marrying someone who did not know martial arts was a disgrace.

Li Yujie’s words were filled with disdain that was so obvious that even Wang Fei could not take it.

Wang Yu’s gaze turned cold immediately. Before he could say something, a deep voice started talking, “Haha, who is above others: people who learn martial arts or people from the Li family? Your parochialism is so severe at such a young age. No wonder it is getting harder and harder to pass on the study of martial arts to the younger generation.”

A middle-aged man from the next seat turned to them, which Wang Yu was surprised to see.

“Who are you to talk about Miss Li like that?” Li Yujie’s followers surrounded the middle-aged man want before she could say anything, looking like they want to fight.
