Mages Are Too OP - Chapter 93

Chapter 93

A young girl driving a pickup truck looked strange no matter what .

 3There was a strong smell of gasoline inside the car, but gradually, the smell disappeared, leaving only a faint scent of osmanthus around Roland .

 2This made Roland’s passenger experience extraordinarily comfortable .

 The pickup truck was driving quite slowly . Roland looked at Night Tide Sands and discovered that she seemed somewhat nervous .

 Was it because she didn’t usually drive?

 1This was understandable .

 A female driver who hadn’t been on the road much, it was no wonder she was nervous .  Wait… I’m in danger now .

 2Now it was Roland’s turn to be nervous . He looked at Night Tide Sands and saw that her face, which was as white as jade, was slightly red .

 Was this because she was too nervous?

 Roland instinctively looked at his own body—the seat belt was fastened—and then he unobtrusively grabbed the safety handle on the right .

 Fortunately, things didn’t go as he had feared . Night Tide Sands drove the pickup a little slowly but steadily .

 Neither of them spoke . Half an hour later, the truck stopped in front of a shop .

 Roland finally breathed a sigh of relief when he jumped out and planted his feet on the ground .

 This was a sporting goods store with a retro name, Red Star Sporting Goods .

 3An old man smoking a water pipe sat in a rocking chair in front of the shop—he was on cloud nine .

 Upon hearing the noise, the old man with grizzled hair looked up and squinted as he saw Night Tide Sands and Roland jump out of the pickup truck .

 “Senior Uncle Yu, here I come again to buy some rope and thick bamboo sheets . ” Night Tide Sands walked up to the old man, her tone quite different from usual, seeming considerably gentle .

 The old man put down the yellowing water pipe in his hands . He sized up Night Tide Sands for a moment and cracked a smile . “It’s the first time I’ve seen you wear a skirt . It looks quite nice . ”

 Then, his gaze shifted to Roland . “Is this your boyfriend?”

 1Night Tide Sands’ ears turned slightly red, but she said in quite a calm manner, “No, he’s just our newly recruited student . He’s here to help me carry some things . ”

 This old man called Senior Uncle Yu stood up, his sallow, wrinkled face appearing quite happy as he smiled . “This is also the first time you’ve had a man help you with work . This is how it should be . Girls should treat themselves better . Don’t be too stubborn and try to do everything on your own . ”

 1“No, my brother often helps . ” Night Tide Sands glanced at Roland, and seeing that he didn’t have much of a reaction, she felt a little relieved . She then went on to tell the old man, “Well, Senior Uncle Yu, save the small talk . I still have something urgent to attend to later—first, give me the things I asked for . ”

 “Sure, follow me,” the old man said with an understanding smile, his hands cupped behind his back .

3When the three of them were about to enter the store, the sharp, clear sound of something breaking came from not too far behind them . A small white car parked in front of the shop and then a proud and formidable woman got out of the car .

 When Roland saw this person, he was surprised for a moment .

 He recognized this woman, Club President Jin of the boxing club .

 1His eyes narrowed slightly; he also felt somewhat awkward at the same time .

 After Jin Wenwen got out of the car, she saw Roland right away . Her eyes looked slightly surprised, then she smiled .

 Find nothing searching high and low, yet stumbling across what you’re looking for .

 Some time ago, Jin Wenwen had been searching for Roland constantly, but she found no leads . She never imagined bumping into him at this place .

 Night Tide Sands also saw Jin Wenwen, and her expression was instantly somewhat displeased .

 Roland saw this out of the corner of his eyes . He found it somewhat strange .

 Although Jin Wewen was a beauty, she had the imposing manner of a man when she walked . She walked up to the two of them, looked them both over, and said with a smile, “I never expected to see two acquaintances . ”

 1Two acquaintances? Night Tide Sands looked at Roland, showing a puzzled look .

 Roland nodded . “It’s been some time since we’ve last met, Club President Jin . ”

 Regarding this woman, he didn’t have any favorable impressions, and of course, he didn’t have any negative impressions either .

 “Why haven’t you come to train these days?” Jin Wenwen looked curiously at Roland—there was even an interrogative look in her eyes .

 1This woman seemed to be habitually aggressive . There was a commanding tone within her words . She did this both intentionally and not .

 Upon hearing this, Roland felt somewhat uncomfortable . He replied slowly, “You guys don’t have anything to teach me, right?”

 1His tone sounded peaceful, but the rhetorical message was quite clear . Jin Wenwen slightly frowned; she wasn’t used to men of the same age talking to her like this .

 On the side, Night Tide Sands found an opportunity to interject . “Do you guys know each other?”

 Roland nodded . “Yes, I learned boxing at Club President Jin’s boxing club for a while . ”

 “Oh . ” Night Tide Sands suddenly realized . “So you learned your boxing skills from them . You learned quite well, even my big brother says he isn’t your match empty-handed . It seems Club President Jin taught with great care . ”

 1At this moment, Night Tide Sands smiled, which she rarely did, but it felt feigned .

 As one of the few “physical skills” clubs in the city, Night Tide Sands knew Jin Wenwen, and Jin Wenwen naturally knew that Qi family’s miaodao arts were quite impressive .

 At this moment, Roland started to feel that the atmosphere was a little strange .

 Jin Wenwen considered Night Tide Sands’ expression for a while, then swept her eyes between Roland and Night Tide Sands . Finally, she smiled smugly . “Yes, I almost taught him all my most valuable skills . In the end, he ran off after learning them . Don’t you think he’s irresponsible?”

 1Night Tide Sands’ expression started to become somewhat sullen .

 Roland didn’t quite understand confrontation between women . Although he was a die-hard sciences man, his emotional quotient wasn’t low, and he could read the atmosphere . He immediately said, “Club President Jin speaks rather ambiguously . Do you speak like that to all men?”

 Night Tide Sands was slightly startled, her expression no longer cold and indifferent .

 On the other hand, Jin Wenwen frowned again, this time more deeply than before .

 A few words broke through the strange atmosphere, and he immediately set his standpoint on the same front as Night Tide Sands .

 “I’m only joking . You’re overreacting . ” Jin Wenwen feigned a helpless look .

 “We don’t know each other well enough to take a joke,” Roland replied indifferently .

 3This woman was after the immersive cabin in his house, and neither her tone nor attitude was good—he didn’t need to feign civility with her .

 Then, he shifted his gaze toward Night Tide Sands . “Let’s go get the stuff . I have some things to take care of later . ”

 “Okay!” The corner of Night Tide Sands’ lips raised slightly .

 Meanwhile, watching from the side, Senior Uncle Yu was grinning from ear to ear . His smile almost wrinkled his face into a butthole .

 2Before he turned around and entered the shop, he gave a look that said “all men understand,” seeming rather like a compliment .

 Roland felt baffled at this . He felt that Senior Uncle Yu seemed to be hinting at something but he couldn’t figure out what .

 1Out of the way, Jin Wenwen watched them work .

 Roland and Night Tide Sands ignored her, loaded several heavy bags of thick bamboo onto the back of the pickup truck, and drove away .

 Jin Wenwen took out a slim cigarette, took a puff, and said to the old man, “Senior Uncle Yu, I’m here to buy some tincture for bruises and to improve blood circulation . ”
