“Lin Qifan? Didn’t Dad fire you?!”
Shen Qing’er, who had come to deliver breakfast, frowned slightly when she saw Lin Qifan standing in her spot.
Lin Qifan, who was about to curse, turned around and saw the slender, graceful girl carrying a meal box.
“Qing’er…”
Lin Qifan’s voice choked; thinking of the screams from the walkie-talkie yesterday, his heart shattered once more.
“It’s all my fault. I was a step too late, allowing you to be defiled by that bandit leader. I’m sorry…”
“However, you still have a place in my heart. I won’t look down on you, Qing’er…”
Hearing Lin Qifan call her Qing’er in such a sickeningly sweet tone, Shen Qing’er got goosebumps and took a step back in disgust.
“What are you talking about?”
“Qing’er, have you forgotten that when I came to save you, you called me Big Brother Qifan…”
“Are you sick? You came to save me? It was clearly Big Brother Jiang Yu who saved me.
And you, as my bodyguard, yet you were nowhere to be seen when something happened. I really don’t know how you managed to fool Dad.”
Shen Qing’er frowned, walked around Lin Qifan, and carefully handed the meal box to Jiang Yu.
“Big Brother Jiang Yu, thank you for saving us yesterday. So… I specifically learned how to make jianbing guozi. Please try it and see if it’s authentic.”
“Qing’er, it was me…”
“Shut up! Can you just get out?!”
Lin Qifan’s face flushed red then paled. He gritted his teeth, slammed the table, and glared angrily, staring intently at Jiang Yu’s indifferent eyes.
“Jiang Yu, have some shame! You stole my credit and claimed it as your own. Don’t you feel ashamed?!”
Jiang Yu looked puzzled: “Brother, did you run into a ‘Sitting Forgetfulness Dao’ practitioner? I’m clearly the one who saved everyone. What do you mean ‘your credit’?”
“Damn it, go to hell!”
The furious Lin Qifan swung his fist, as big as a sandbag, towards Jiang Yu’s handsome face.
Crack…
Jiang Yu easily caught the incoming fist and said calmly, “Student Lin, anger is the devil. If there’s anything, we can sit down and talk it over nicely.”
“How is that possible? How could you catch my fist?!”
Even now, after taking so many pills, his single punch would force even a late-stage Xuan-rank martial artist to temporarily avoid its edge.
If it was a Huang-rank martial artist, a graze would injure, a touch would kill.
How could Jiang Yu catch it so easily?
“Because I am a martial arts genius. To reach my current realm, it’s all thanks to my own hard work and struggle, and has nothing to do with Deep Blue.”
Jiang Yu smirked, “Now, the tables have turned.”
The Adamantine Body was incredibly hard. Faint golden light transformed into specks of starlight, swirling around Jiang Yu’s elbow, forming a barely perceptible golden elbow guard.
“Mars Mighty Elbow!”
Bang——
“What?!”
Lin Qifan was sent flying by an elbow strike, his face full of disbelief as he got up.
“I’m an Immortal cultivator, how could I be beaten like this by a martial artist who just started not long ago?!”
“What went wrong?!”
The unyielding Lin Qifan charged again and again, but was easily sent flying by Jiang Yu each time, spitting out three liters of blood.
“Thunder Half-Moon Elbow!”
“Lightning Whirlwind Elbow!”
“Heaven Feather Dragon-Slaying Elbow!”
Seeing Lin Qifan repeatedly provoke Jiang Yu, Shen Qing’er couldn’t sit still. She made a call to the principal, and soon after, the principal arrived with security guards.
At this moment, Lin Qifan’s spiritual energy was just depleted.
Clang, clang, clang—
The security guards swung their batons at Lin Qifan six times a second, making him howl.
“Insects, you are nothing but a bunch of insects, hahahaha! I am an Immortal cultivator, I’m just superior to you martial artists, I’m just nobler than you…”
Lin Qifan, like a mad dog, was dragged out.
The principal scurried over to Shen Qing’er and Jiang Yu, bowing and scraping:
“Miss Shen, Jiang Shao, we will definitely expel this student. Please rest assured.”
“Ah, expelling him would be too cruel. Lin Qifan is a good student, he just isn’t very bright. Let’s forgive him this time.”
Jiang Yu’s compassionate tone made it difficult for Shen Qing’er to refuse. She pouted:
“But I don’t want to see that guy…”
The principal, being an old fox, immediately nodded and said, “Jiang Shao, Miss Shen, how about I transfer him to Class Two? Class Two and Class Ten are separated by a teaching building, guaranteeing out of sight, out of mind.”
Shen Qing’er nodded: “That’s fine. Anyway, I don’t want to see him.”
…
It wasn’t until the afternoon that Lin Qifan, having regained his composure, came to pack his things and quickly moved to Class Two.
On his way back, he discovered that as long as he squeezed the pointed muscle on the top of his head, his brain would temporarily enter a state of flow.
Standing at the entrance of Class Two, Lin Qifan looked up.
His bewildered eyes gradually turned resolute.
“If Immortal cultivation is a Reverse Flow River, then I must be that persistent fish in the river. Become stronger, Lin Qifan. All misfortune and difficulties are because you are too weak.”
Lin Qifan clenched his fists, a murderous aura emanating from his eyes.
“I want to become stronger! Jiang Yu, one day, I will reclaim all this humiliation a thousand, ten thousand times over!”
【Ding, detected Son of Destiny’s Dao Heart repaired, promoted to ‘Pseudo-Legendary’】
Jiang Yu, who was eating jianbing guozi and kneading Youqing’s tender little hand, heard the system’s mechanical voice and sighed with emotion:
“Qifan, you truly make me happy.”
“System, I want to use a Heavenly Secret Card!”
【Ding, Heavenly Secret Card has been used】
【Lin Qifan, who transferred classes, coincidentally met a new deskmate named Murong Xue’er. Due to family reasons, Murong Xue’er dressed very shabbily at school and was extremely self-conscious. After spending some time together, with the help of Yang Yan’er, Lin Qifan discovered that Murong Xue’er was actually a hidden Nine Yin Holy Body!
So he used a trick of crying ‘thief’ while being the thief: secretly beat Xue’er’s Grandma until she was hospitalized, then transferred the money from his boxing matches to Murong Xue’er through a secret account.
Only at the very end did he reveal—it was I, Lin Qifan, who saved you!
With Murong Xue’er’s help, after diligent cultivation, Lin Qifan’s realm and strength greatly increased, and he even became an unofficial member of the Blood Rose during his boxing journey…】
“Why doesn’t Heaven grant me such romantic luck and good fortune?”
Jiang Yu shook his head, pondering for a moment.
His pen scratched, beginning to write the script for the next scene.
…
“Hello everyone, my name is Lin Qifan, and I am a sports student with two and a half years of training experience.”
After his self-introduction, Lin Qifan walked down from the podium and looked around, finding only one seat in the back corner.
His deskmate was a girl wearing a washed-out school uniform, with long bangs covering most of her face, revealing only a clean chin. She wore very ugly, large black-rimmed glasses and looked unfashionable.
“Hello, my name is Lin Qifan.”
Lin Qifan sat next to the girl and greeted her plainly.
“H-hello, deskmate, my… my name is Murong Xue’er.”
The girl’s voice was soft and sweet, giving Lin Qifan the feeling of a replica of the little loli beside Jiang Yu.
However, her voice was even softer, the kind of sister a man would fantasize about—clear-voiced, gentle, and easy to push over.
Lin Qifan, possessing a beauty-radar physique, had a guess: perhaps beneath his little deskmate’s ugly black-rimmed glasses, there would be a stunningly beautiful face.
Murong Xue’er curiously observed her shabbily dressed deskmate.
A feeling of shared plight couldn’t help but rise in her heart. Perhaps this pointed-headed deskmate, like herself, was an unpopular, poor student.
“Grrr…”
Lin Qifan’s stomach rumbled in protest.
“Uh… haha,” Lin Qifan awkwardly scratched his head.
Murong Xue’er lowered her small head, her small hand fumbling in her drawer. She pulled out two White Rabbit milk candies.
After a moment of hesitation, she placed both White Rabbit candies on Lin Qifan’s desk.
“I… I only have this much to eat.”
When a pretty girl has two candies, and she gives both of them to you, there’s no doubt, you’ve fallen hopelessly in love with her.
Lin Qifan was momentarily dazed.
When he came back to his senses, he had already peeled open the glutinous rice paper wrapper of a White Rabbit candy and was holding the sweet candy in his mouth.
“So sweet… Perhaps she is my First Lady…”
