PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM II

Chapter 261: Kendo Gym

It took another 15 minutes before they arrived at their destination—the Star Cloud Kendo Gym.

The kendo gym was located on the third floor of a commercial building. It was a spacious and open space with wood flooring and a large scroll on the wall facing the entrance. Along the sidewalls, countless banners were displayed extolling the "Way of the Sword" and its virtues, and included many meaningful proverbs such as: "find your true self within your sword," and, "Be strict with yourself and exercise patience." The dojo was steeped in traditional kendo heritage, and they sensed it from the moment they arrive.

Xiao Luo had planned to take Su Xiaobei directly to the theme park after dropping Su Canye off, but she had insisted on going up to have a look.

Before they had even found a place to sit, Su Canye immediately dashed toward an attractive girl who was sitting at the edge of the fighting area and watching a duel. Su Canye was like a busy bee picking pollen as he hovered around her doing his best to please her. He looked rather pathetic, bowing, and fawning over her, and he even offered her the imported chocolate that he discreetly kept in his pocket.

However, the girl did not seem the least interested in Su Canye and hardly gave him any attention other than returning a bow to him whenever he made one. She was undoubtedly more focused on the duel that was ongoing and literally regarded him as thin air.

In the end, Su Canye returned looking dejected, unpacked the chocolate, and ate it by himself. It was only a brief moment of silence, though, because he suddenly nudged Xiao Luo and said, "Did you see her? That girl over there... she's my girlfriend. Isn't she really pretty?"

"Hmm? Oh... yeah, she sure is."

Xiao Luo nodded as he glanced across to where she was seated and said, "But she doesn't act like she's your girlfriend, and from what I saw, she clearly despises you. Are you sure you're a couple?" The girl was attractive—she had delicate facial features and a fair complexion, and although she was seated, one could tell that she had a slender and well-proportioned body.

The problem with Su Canye was that he was spoilt and was constantly on an ego trip; he lived in a make-believe world, and that was something that Xiao Luo abhorred. So, when the opportunity arose, he decided not to hold back with his sarcasm. But, in reality, what he said was the truth, for, at a single glance, one could tell that this was a one-sided love affair. From the very moment they arrived, the girl did not once cast a glance at Su Canye.

Su Canye immediately frowned. Suddenly losing his appetite, he gave the remainder of the chocolate bar to Su Xiaobei, who had been looking at it longingly for a while now. He then turned to Xiao Luo and said, "Ice Face, you'll get yourself beaten up if you talk like this, you get me? Of course, she's my girlfriend; it's just that she hasn't accepted me yet. But, rest assured, she will accept my love sooner or later." Then his expression softened, and he gushed, "Just look at how gorgeous she is—oval face, peach blossom eyes, small cherry lips, pointy nose... she makes me cry just by how beautiful she is."

And then, he went on and on, intoxicated by his self-created fantasy.

"You're so shallow." Xiao Luo commented.

Su Canye waved his comment off contemptuously with the sage expression of a venerable guru and responded, "I am not going to argue with you, it's pointless. Let me give you some advice—your state of mind needs to be elevated, my friend. Come back and converse with me on this topic when you've attained the same level that I have."

It would have been more accurate to say that Xiao Luo was the one who'd rather not have the discussion, and he quickly decided to focus all his attention on the ongoing duel in the middle of the gym.
