Outside the school, Zhang Xiaohou caught up with Lü Cheng.
Tianlan Magic High School offers boarding facilities, and students are also allowed to commute, but this would take up a lot of their training time, so most students choose to live on campus.
However, many others, like Lü Cheng, choose to commute from home.
"What's the matter?" Lu Cheng stopped in his tracks.
He knew Zhang Xiaohou, though they weren't very close. After all, he was an adult, and a socially awkward one at that, so he couldn't be very familiar with these teenagers, those boisterous kids in their adolescence.
At best, it can only be considered a perfunctory effort.
You only realize how annoying kids can be when you grow up!
"Brother Cheng, um... did you and Teacher Tang Yue really... you did that?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.
"Which one?" Lu Cheng asked in return.
"That one!" Zhang Xiaohou glanced nervously at Mo Fan, who was hiding not far away.
"You wouldn't... have cheated on me again, would you?"
Lü Cheng followed Zhang Xiaohou's gaze and said, "Don't use such a superficial word as 'scumbag' to describe me. I'm just a philanthropist."
"Bo...ai?" Zhang Xiaohou's eye twitched violently.
As expected of you!
"You're so philanthropic, what a load of bull!"
Mo Fan ran over, looking furious.
"You should extend your love to others, but don't extend it to Xia!"
"What's it to you?" Lu Cheng asked, looking puzzled.
Because of his parents, he actually knew Ye Xinxia much earlier, and he even knew Ye Chang. If his parents hadn't disappeared earlier, Ye Chang would have taken Ye Xinxia in his home.
However, his parents disappeared beforehand, and he was just a five or six-year-old child at the time, so it was impossible for him to take care of a little girl who was two years younger than him and had difficulty moving around.
So, Ye Chang used the same trick again, throwing Ye Xinxia into the hands of the Mo family, which was then a vassal of the Mu family, and then disappeared.
"What kind of attitude is this?" Mo Fan grabbed Lü Cheng by the collar.
Do you even care about Xinxia?
Lu Cheng frowned slightly. "I'll give you three seconds to think it over. Let go, or lie down."
"three."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Fan quickly distanced himself from Lü Cheng.
Seeing that Mo Fan hadn't lost his temper, Zhang Xiaohou breathed a sigh of relief.
No joke, if it really came down to a fight, Lü Cheng could easily crush Mo Fan!
It was because of Lü Cheng's exaggerated fighting skills that, although he was hated by many people at school, no one ever dared to confront him head-on.
He had witnessed it firsthand before; Lü Cheng had dislocated someone's hand with just a light tap!
“First of all, you have no right to interfere in my private life.” Lu Cheng straightened his collar.
"Secondly, what I do or don't do is none of your business!"
After saying that, Lü Cheng waved his hand, hailed a taxi, and left.
"Brother Fan, don't be so impulsive," Zhang Xiaohou said helplessly.
“If Cheng-ge had been in a slightly bad mood just now, you would have been bedridden for at least the next two weeks.”
Mo Fan's eye twitched. "Don't think I'm afraid of him!"
He has successfully mastered lightning magic!
If a fight really breaks out, it's hard to say...
“Brother Fan, I’m not trying to discourage you, it’s just…” Zhang Xiaohou paused.
"Don't even mention that you can't cast magic yet. Even if you had mastered basic magic, how long do you think it would have taken for you to lose consciousness at that distance, sir?"
Mo Fan's expression froze.
At that distance, he wouldn't have had time to cast a spell before being knocked down by Lü Cheng.
But he doesn't understand!
Even though it's a different world and magic has replaced science, why is Lü Cheng's combat power still so terrifying?
It seems like there's no martial arts in this world.
“Um… Brother Fan, that direction seems to be…” Zhang Xiaohou looked puzzled.
Mo Fan was taken aback.
"Depend on!"
……
Mingwen Girls' School.
Because Tang Yue kept him behind for a talk, Lü Cheng was a little later than the agreed time, and now it was past school dismissal time.
Walking through the alleyways, you'll see a small hill in the distance. At the foot of the hill is a small lawn, and in the center of the lawn is a wooden swing entwined with winter vines.
On the swing, a little girl in a light purple dress sat quietly.
"Sorry, something came up and I was held up." Lü Chengjing quietly approached Ye Xinxia from behind.
"Brother Acheng!" Ye Xinxia, who was looking down and seemingly lost in thought, was startled.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Lu Cheng stepped forward, squatted down, and held Ye Xinxia's hands.
"I..." Ye Xinxia's gaze darted away.
"What's wrong? Did you get bullied again?" Lu Cheng pinched Ye Xinxia's cheek.
"I didn't..." Ye Xinxia's ears turned red.
“You should have told me if you were in trouble,” Lü Cheng said.
Most of the students at Mingwen Girls' High School are from wealthy families, so Ye Xinxia, who is beautiful and academically excellent but from a poor family, is naturally looked down upon and envied.
"Or is it that I'm not worthy of your reliance, and you trust your brother Mo Fan more?" Lu Cheng asked.
"I didn't..." Ye Xinxia buried her head deeply in her budding chest.
"I just don't want to cause you any trouble."
"How many more times do you want me to repeat myself?" Lü Cheng bent down and cupped Ye Xinxia's head in his hands.
"You're not a burden to me, you're my cutest little sister."
"..."
"How many people have you said that to?" Ye Xinxia asked with a strange expression.
Why does it feel so familiar?
“At least for now, it’s just you,” Lü Cheng said earnestly.
"And what about after that?" Ye Xinxia asked with amusement.
"You don't really plan to have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, do you?"
From the moment they first met, her scoundrel brother said that he would definitely make her a concubine in the future. When she was young and didn't understand, she happily agreed, saying that she would become a concubine for her brother Acheng when she grew up.
She initially thought her brother was joking, but as she's grown up over the years, she's gradually come to realize that he's serious.
"Don't be nervous, your position as Imperial Concubine is unshakeable," Lü Cheng said seriously.
"Then... what about Sister Ning Xue?" Ye Xinxia suddenly asked.
“She…” Lu Cheng paused.
Let's give her a place in the cold palace.
"The Cold Palace?" Ye Xinxia gripped Lü Cheng's hands tightly.
"Brother Acheng, are you still angry?"
"Sister Ning Xue wasn't..."
"Where is the person who bullied you?" Lu Cheng interrupted.
"Huh?" Ye Xinxia was taken aback.
Before she could say anything more, Lü Cheng's figure disappeared from sight and headed up the hill in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Acheng! Don't be impulsive!"
Lu Cheng waved without turning his head and walked up to the small pavilion on the hill.
