Free and Unrestrained Divine Doctor

"Is Hall Master Meng hoping I won't participate in the martial arts tournament?"

Qin Chuan picked up on another layer of meaning in Meng Wantang's words.

Meng Wantang nodded, "I believe Mr. Qin already knows that Chu Hualong wants to use this martial arts tournament to officially return to Jiang City."

"Therefore, this tournament is destined to be more dangerous than ever before."

"It's not that I doubt Mr. Qin's abilities, but regardless of whether Mr. Qin succeeds or not, it might not change the fact that Chu Hualong is returning to Jiang City."

Lately, the major forces in Jiang City are restless, with undercurrents surging beneath.

Though they appear united against external threats, trust is scarce.

Take Dog Hall, for instance. On the surface, they are claiming to be united against external threats, willing to do anything to prevent Chu Hualong's return to Jiang City.

Yet in reality, they secretly support Chu Hualong, willingly becoming his dog.

Where there's one Dog Hall, a second and a third one will inevitably emerge.

Before Chu Hualong officially returns, no one knows how many hidden strategies he's arranged in Jiang City.

As for Qin Chuan, to put it plainly, he's just an outsider.

He's been in Jiang City for less than three months.

These affairs in Jiang City shouldn't drag him into them.

Of course, Meng Wantang also has her own motives; she is considering her daughter.

"If I leave, what will you do?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"Fight to the end, perhaps we might still have a sliver of hope," Meng Wantang said, sounding uncertain.

She didn't feel any confidence at all.

Back then, although they forced Chu Hualong out of Jiang City together, his personal strength wasn't significantly impacted.

Over the years, he's apprenticed under martial arts master Guan Yunan, his strength likely surpassing the past.

Additionally, Chu Hualong has developed a massive force overseas during these years.

It's clear to anyone that Chu Hualong merely wants to use the tournament as a masquerade to exact revenge.

As such, Chu Hualong won't spare them.

But Qin Chuan is different; as an outsider, he can completely withdraw before the crisis arrives.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan understood that Meng Wantang was prepared to fight to the death against Chu Hualong.

"Hall Master Meng, I'm afraid I can't comply with your request," Qin Chuan responded bluntly.

"Why? Do you intend to stay?" Meng Wantang was slightly surprised, unable to understand Qin Chuan's reasons for staying.

"Though I've not been here long, those I care for are all here in Jiang City. I can't leave, nor can I walk away," Qin Chuan explained.

Unless absolutely necessary, he still wanted to try.

Whether for Ye Qingmei's family or for Luo Yi, Su Qian, Jian Ya, and Wen Yaxin.

As a man, he simply couldn't stand by and watch his woman be caught in danger without intervening.

Hearing Qin Chuan's words, Meng Wantang's heart inexplicably trembled, and she couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan.

The young man, nearly a decade younger than her, inexplicably made her feel reassured at this moment.

"I really envy your girlfriend; with you by her side, she must be very happy," Meng Wantang couldn't help but remark.

"Maybe..."

A pang of guilt flickered in Qin Chuan's eyes.

Ye Wenxi and the others might feel happy, but they'd also face many dangers.

Having offended Dog Hall and killed Chu Hualong's subordinate, he would undoubtedly face heavy dangers when the tournament arrives.

He's worried he might not be able to protect so many people.

After all, he can't stay by their side twenty-four hours a day.

"Mr. Qin, you don't need to blame yourself; some things will happen regardless of whether you stop them." Meng Wantang sighed.

Qin Chuan nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "How are you planning to arrange for Nannan?"

Although he's only met Nannan twice, it's still fair to call it a chance encounter.

But he quite liked that little rascal filled with quirky charm.

Facing this impending catastrophe, he hoped Nannan would stay far away from the turmoil.

"I'll arrange for someone to escort her away," Meng Wantang replied.

The most suitable person was originally Qin Chuan.

Since Qin Chuan insists on staying, she had to choose someone else.

Qin Chuan nodded, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry I couldn't help."

Meng Wantang shook her head, "You've already helped me a lot. Without you, Nannan wouldn't have been so happy during this time. To see her so happy at such a critical moment, I'm content."

Those words carried a hint of sadness.

Like one's final words before leaving.

Sounding slightly heart-wrenching.

"Mr. Qin, you need to be careful from now on; since Chu Hualong needs the Yin Yang Beads, his people will certainly come looking for you again," Meng Wantang reminded.

Qin Chuan nodded, understanding this himself.

However, with the Yin Yang Beads in hand, he had enough power to contend with both Skinny Monkey and Tiger of the Land.

He only feared that Chu Hualong would send other experts, and he's unsure if he could handle them then.

As he pondered this, Meng Wantang's phone suddenly rang.

"Nannan's call?" Qin Chuan glanced at Meng Wantang's phone.

Meng Wantang nodded and silently put it down.

"Answer it; she's about to leave, and I'd like to see her as well," Qin Chuan said calmly.

Meng Wantang adjusted her emotions, a gentle smile appearing on her face before returning the video call.

Soon, the call connected.

Nannan's quirky little face popped up on the screen, "Mommy, how come you're not..."

Before she finished speaking, her expression suddenly froze, and her eyes widened, "Bro...Daddy, why are you here too?"

Seeing Qin Chuan, joy spread across Nannan's face, as excited as during New Year's.

Before Qin Chuan could respond, she blurted out, "I know, Daddy and Mommy must be on a date, right?"

Upon hearing this, both people in the carriage blushed deeply.

Meng Wantang was embarrassed to answer, and Qin Chuan was caught in an awkward position by the question.

Ultimately, Qin Chuan could only stiffly switch the topic, "Nannan, have you been good lately? Have you been listening to your teacher?"

"Good, I've been really good, and now, the teacher listens to me," Nannan replied with an old-fashioned air.

Qin Chuan paused; this sounded a bit off.

The teacher listens to her?

The tables turned!

This little rascal must be causing a storm in the kindergarten.

Beside him, after hearing this, Meng Wantang immediately showed a resentful expression, "Little Qin Yao, you're really making Mama proud. Why don't you tell Qin... tell your Daddy about your bribing the teacher?"

The originally complaining Meng Wantang's blush returned instantly when she uttered "Daddy."

Suddenly, "Daddy" seemed to have dual meanings.

It's said that many young men nowadays like their girlfriends calling them Daddy.

Especially during certain activities.

Unbelievable how they can say it.

Just thinking about it made Meng Wantang feel embarrassed, not to mention saying it out loud.

She wondered if Qin Chuan also liked this kind of approach.

This thought unexpectedly popped into Meng Wantang's mind, startling her into clamping her thighs tightly.
