My Card Beast Taming Game

“Zhou Chen, classmate…”

Before the man could say anything more, another voice suddenly rang out from the side, "Little cousin~ what happened? Come here quickly and tell me what's going on."

It is Hua Ning.

A giant, dark purple flower swirled above her head, and inside, one could vaguely see a tiny figure cradling the flower's stamen.

Zhou Chen looked at her, and to be honest, he didn't really want to go over there.

Who knows if this woman is in cahoots with the club?

But Zhou Chen thought again that Hua Ning should have credibility with Lu Qingning, and besides, he had to choose between the two groups in front of him.

The answer is obvious.

"Sister Flower".

He obediently ran to Hua Ning's side.

When the man in black saw the woman approaching, he was very respectful and bowed his head, saying, "Ms. Hua, we have no intention of harming him."

"I don't want to hear nonsense." Hua Ning's smile faded slightly.

The man in black said, "...Young Master Shen and Miss Lu had a minor altercation, and they've been stopped. Young Master Shen asked us to take Zhou Chen back, but rest assured, we will protect Zhou Chen's safety. After all, the club doesn't want to offend Miss Lu either."

"Shen Yan?"

Hua Ning frowned.

[Shen Yan] and [Shen Qingning] reminded Zhou Chen of Lu Qingning's father, who had many partners.

Half-siblings?

As Zhou Chen's thoughts raced, Hua Ning patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little cousin, tell me what you know."

"Oh, it's those people who insulted Lu Qingning's mother, and Lu Qingning couldn't stand it anymore and beat them up," he said simply.

Hua Ning asked again, "Then why did you run away?"

“I’m just a burden, of course I’d run, but unfortunately I’m too slow.” Zhou Chen glanced at the men in black.

Hua Ning chuckled, "You're quite clever! Hmm~ Do you want to come back with me? I can guarantee your safety."

Zhou Chen silently observed her expression: "If I want to go home..."

Hua Ning smiled and nodded, "Sure, with me here, they won't dare stop you."

Upon hearing this, the man in black hurriedly said, "Ms. Hua!"

Before he could finish speaking, the giant purple flower above Hua Ning's head blocked his way, silencing all his words.

"How did you get here? Do you need me to call a taxi for you?"

Hua Ning looked at Zhou Chen with a smile.

Zhou Chen glanced at the silent man in black, then at Hua Ning beside him. After careful consideration, he sighed inwardly and said, "Is it too late for me to back out now?"

"Of course! Who told you to be so young?" Hua Ning's smile widened.

The two turned back to the club.

Seeing this, the men in black relaxed. Regardless of the specifics, they had at least stopped the person.

-

Zhou Chen decided to take a gamble.

He initially intended to refuse Hua Ning's invitation, but the subtle hints in her words were so clear that even someone with low emotional intelligence like him could understand them.

Moreover, he thought of Lu Qingning and the social connections he needed most at the moment.

What is social interaction?

Zhou Chen didn't know that he had to give face to the powerful figures; he also had to care about his friends' situation, even if he couldn't do anything about it.

At the same time, he wanted to remember this experience.

Zhou Chen used to think that she could grow up slowly, but then she suddenly realized that as long as she socialized, she could not avoid conflict.

It has nothing to do with whether or not cards are sold; it's just that low-level card masters have bad tempers.

Zhou Chen felt ashamed of this, so that he would have the ability to say no to those men in black next time.

When Hua Ning led him back to the stadium's underground area, he saw the burn marks left on the walls and the sewage all over the ground, and suddenly felt that his mental strength had increased a little.

Huh? This can improve?

That's an exaggeration.

He realized that this might be due to a change in mindset, but before he could sense it carefully, he followed Hua Ning into a VIP room.

Lu Qingning was there.

Not far away, Shen Yan's group was missing two people, and they had bandages all over their bodies. Their hairstyles and clothes had also been changed.

A graceful middle-aged woman sat on the long sofa in the middle, and paused for a moment when she saw Hua Ning and Zhou Chen enter.

"You didn't run away?" Lu Qingning leaned closer to him.

Hua Ning laughed and said, "Almost! Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise my little cousin would have been 'invited' back."

"Thank you for your help, Sister Hua!"

Lu Qingning grabbed her arm and shook it, then asked curiously, "Then why is he still here?"

Hua Ning looked at Zhou Chen, signaling him to speak on his own.

Zhou Chen scratched his head, "Sister Hua said she would protect me, so I came back to see you."

"Who wants you to see this!"

Lu Qingning glanced at it dismissively.

Despite her words, her tone clearly rose slightly, a change that Hua Ning noticed precisely.

She raised her eyebrows without making a sound.

"How long are you going to keep whining like rats?"

An irritating sound suddenly came.

It was the man named Shen Yan, who was applying an ice pack to the wound on his shoulder, his face filled with barely suppressed anger.

Lu Qingning retorted without hesitation, "Shut up, you trash! You're already dead! This isn't over!"

"A bastard daughter who's not even listed in the family tree, I don't know what you're pretending for! One word! Are you going to hit me or not!"

Shen Yan suddenly stood up and glared at Lu Qingning. "You're so powerful, you're not afraid of me, are you?"

Lu Qingning shouted, "Fine, let's fight! Don't run away if you've got the guts!"

"it is good!"

Shen Yan said to the elegant middle-aged woman, "Director Zhang, could you help me draft the contract?"

"can."

The middle-aged woman nodded and immediately gave the instructions.

Shen Yan, having succeeded, wore a smug expression on his fierce face. "You can't become an excellent card master just by using sneak attacks. Let me teach you, a country bumpkin, what real combat is!"

"Oh."

Lu Qingning was too lazy to say anything more to him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen seemed to understand something. "You're preparing for a spirit card battle?"

"Nonsense! I can't kill him, and he wouldn't dare kill me. It's a battle of spirit cards." Lu Qingning looked at him strangely. "Do I look like a murderer?"

It's not a matter of whether they look alike or not.

Zhou Chen's mind was filled with Lu Qingning's expression in the tunnel, so he didn't say anything more.

【Spirit Card Arena】.

It is a very popular competitive sport in the world, roughly equivalent to a martial arts competition.

Some card players who don't want to explore the secret realm but are very interested in spirit card battles will become professional players in this field.

Zhou Chen asked, "Can you beat him?"

"I have confidence!"

Lu Qingning showed him her silver card, "This guy is several years older than me, but he only recently became a junior card master. He's a complete waste."

Zhou Chen nodded, "Then I'll cheer you on from the stands!"

"Okay! Shout louder! Shout until I'm satisfied, and I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Lu Qingning smiled and spun the card, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Don't tell my grandparents what happened today."

"No, I won't talk nonsense." Zhou Chen would definitely not say anything carelessly.

There's no point in talking about this.

Lu Qingning nodded approvingly, "Your aloof personality can come in handy sometimes!"

"..."

Is this considered a compliment?

During the brief exchange between the two, the agreement for the Spirit Card battle arrived.

The general content is no different from the usual ones, the only difference is in how to determine the winner and loser.

As soon as Lu Qingning finished signing, Shen Yan said, "Wait!"

"What are you doing!" she said impatiently.

Shen Yan pointed maliciously at Zhou Chen, "He wants to sign too! Our team will be playing two against two!"

"It has nothing to do with him! Do you want to fight or not?!" Lu Qingning was not about to agree.

Shen Yan pointed to his companion beside him, "How can it be nothing? You two were always in cahoots! You just burned so many of our people, and you think you can just end it like this?"

"He has to come!" Shen Yan revealed a sinister smile. "Otherwise... heh heh..."

Chapter 12: The Howling Wind and the Roaring Owl (Please continue reading!!)

This person seems to have some issues.

wrong.

It seems not.

Without Zhou Chen needing to speak, Hua Ning said, "You don't need to agree. No one can force you if you don't want to go."

She looked calmly at Shen Yan, whose expression suddenly turned ugly after he had just been at odds with Lu Qingning.

A conflict with Lu Qingning could still be considered a family matter. But a conflict with Hua Ning from the Hua family…

Although the two families don't work in the same city, the card master circle in Zhuxia is only so big.

"Fine! I'll just add something else!"

Shen Yan gritted his teeth, pulled a card from his pocket, and slammed it on the table. "Kid! A three-star silver card! Worth 1.3 million! You win, so take it!"

This person is truly insane.

Zhou Chen shook his head, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed Lu Qingning hurrying forward to confirm, her eyes unusually bright.

Ok?

Sister Lu?

"I agree!"

Lu Qingning turned around and grabbed his arm, whispering, "Sign!"

Zhou Chen was stunned. "Not a buddy?"

"If you're a true buddy, sign it!" Lu Qingning urged. "Don't you want a free silver card? They're practically handing you money!"

Yes, everyone knows it's "freebies".

They went to so much trouble to get him to fight, there must have been some planning involved!
