Ultimate Method: Practice your fist a hundred times, and use violence to control violence.

Two days later.

"...The world order has only returned to peace after the boundary war 30 years ago, and the victory was hard-won...As one of the undisputed hegemons among the three continents, our East China Sea Alliance also shoulders the historical responsibility of maintaining world peace in the face of the current turbulent world situation..."

The history teacher was speaking eloquently on the podium, but when he talked about the current situation, he couldn't help but pause a few times with some emotion, and then he took the chalk and drew a horizontal line hard on "the great task of a great nation".

In the cold, windy classroom, Wan Ze sat against the wall, seemingly listening to the lesson, but actually pondering the "Stealing Heavenly Secrets".

Sun Fan had already brought him three Taoist classics on Sunday night, which he had already read through. They were all about the Tao and its natural way... He hadn't managed to uncover the secrets of heaven, but instead, he had successfully entered the initial stage of Taoist theory.

"Ding!"

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class. The history teacher clapped his hands and said, "That's all for today's lesson. The five exercises on page 21 of the textbook are today's homework. I will check them tomorrow."

"Goodbye, teacher!"

The students quickly left their seats and started playing around.

"Aze, are you free tonight?" Zhou Xianchuan approached from behind.

"What's wrong?" Wan Ze asked, puzzled.

"I've organized a dinner party tonight. Liu Yu, Fang Xiaoxi, Ke Yuan from Class 2 and his cousin are all around the same age and know each other well," Zhou Xianchuan said in a low voice.

"I don't even know them," Wan Ze said uninterestedly. "You haven't been to the martial arts gym these past few days, have you? Aren't you planning to train?"

"Don't even mention it, it's all tears... I failed to advance to Class B, so I'm just trying to clear my head these next few days. Can you stay with me tonight? I'm begging you." Zhou Xianchuan pleaded, throwing himself on Wan Ze.

"Tell me the truth, what's the deal with this dinner party tonight?" Wan Ze asked with a half-smile.

Zhou Xianchuan immediately blushed and felt guilty: "You could even tell that?"

"You've invited all these people I'd never normally associate with. I wouldn't dare go if you hadn't told me," Wan Ze said deliberately.

Zhou Xianchuan could only raise his hands in surrender: "Then I'll tell you, please don't laugh at me... swear it."

"Okay, okay, I swear..."

"Actually, I'm going on a blind date with Ke Yuan's cousin tonight..."

"puff!"

Wan Ze spat out a mouthful of water.

Zhou Xianchuan wiped the water off his face, speechless. "I'm serious."

"No, buddy, you're only in your first year of high school... You're on a blind date?" Wan Ze was somewhat taken aback.

"It's what my family thinks." Zhou Xianchuan shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

Wan Ze shook his head and chuckled, "Then you should just go directly. Why do you need us to come along?"

"I'm worried it'll be awkward, and Ke Yuan and his sister don't know anything about this. It's my family elders' idea. If we click, we can have a formal meeting," Zhou Xianchuan said helplessly, looking up at Zhou Xianchuan. "Aze, please. I'm just worried you'll feel awkward, so I had the class monitor and the other girl come... Two beautiful girls with you, tell me I'm being nice to you, okay!"

Wan Ze was speechless: "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, we're all brothers! And let me tell you a secret, Liu Yu and Fang Xiaoxi have definitely taken a liking to you. You have no idea how many times they've secretly sized you up these past two days! They're practically glued to you!" Zhou Xianchuan chuckled mischievously.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wan Ze said helplessly.

Zhou Xianchuan immediately became anxious: "Really! Brother, I'm not lying to you this time. Sometimes I really envy you guys who are so handsome. It's like you're making it impossible for us normal people to survive... Anyway, you should seize this opportunity!"

Wan Ze: "..."

Just then, a classmate's voice came from outside the door: "Wanze, a senior is looking for you."

"They're here."

Wan Ze responded.

Zhou Xianchuan looked over and saw that it was Sun Fan. He immediately felt guilty and shrank back, silently praying.

……

"Here, take this." Sun Fan smiled and handed over the notebook.

Wan Ze was puzzled.

Sun Fan explained, "That book belongs to one of my uncles, so I can't borrow it for you. However, I've looked through the whole book and found all the information you're looking for, which I've copied down... If that's still not enough, I'll have to wait until noon this weekend to take you to visit him."

"Thank you so much." Wan Ze was somewhat moved.

Sun Fan chuckled, "I'm glad I could help. Shall we go to the martial arts gym tonight?"

"Something came up tonight." Wan Ze turned to look at the furtive figure of the dog in the classroom, then looked away and apologized to Sun Fan.

"It's okay, I'm leaving." Sun Fan waved his hand casually.

The sunlight in the corridor fell on her shoulders, making many people linger.

Zhao Hexiang watched all this in silence, his heart bleeding.

Wan Ze raised an eyebrow at him, then turned and walked into the classroom.

Zhou Xianchuan hesitated for a while before leaning closer and saying, "Sister-in-law... cough, did your senior say anything? If she misunderstood, I'll explain for you... It's all my fault."

"What are you talking about?" Wan Ze looked at him curiously.

Zhou Xianchuan opened his mouth... Oh, it was a misunderstanding, then it's alright.

"It's a deal for tonight! Anyone who doesn't come is a dog!"

"……childish."

"Brother~!"

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

"Hehehe."

……

Night falls.

Wan Ze, Liu Yu, and Fang Xiaoxi followed Zhou Xianchuan to a high-end restaurant in the center of the commercial street of Sheng City.

"This is it."

Zhou Xianchuan glanced around casually and led the way inside. Fang Xiaoxi couldn't help but tug at Liu Yu, her eyes filled with amazement...

Similar to Wan Ze's family, Fang Xiaoxi's family is not very wealthy. Her father is a middle-level manager in a company, but due to the recent wave of layoffs, his performance has been greatly reduced in the past two years. Moreover, she has two younger brothers, so it is already difficult for them to maintain their current level of respectability.

"I heard this place is very expensive." She mouthed the words with her back to the crowd.

Liu Yu gently patted the back of her hand, indicating that it was alright.

Fang Xiaoxi couldn't help but look at Wan Ze, thinking that he would also feel hurt and have his pride hurt, but she didn't expect Wan Ze to walk in as if nothing had happened. She was slightly stunned.

The hotel, glittering with gold, wasn't crowded. The waiters, dressed in formal attire, were very polite and led the way.

"What am I going to do, Aze! I'm already feeling awkward before I've even met him!" Zhou Xianchuan said with a bitter face, lowering his voice. Apart from Wan Ze, no one knew the real purpose of this dinner party.

"What's so embarrassing? It's just a normal dinner party..." Wan Ze reassured him.

"That's true..." Zhou Xianchuan took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Ke Yuan's family runs a pharmaceutical sales company and has some money, but I heard that his sister is quite gentle and refined."

As a result, Ke Yuan and Ke Qing finally arrived after waiting for twenty minutes.

"I'm sorry, there was some traffic on the way," Ke Qing said apologetically.

"It's alright, it's alright, please sit wherever you like..." Zhou Xianchuan coughed lightly, pretending to be calm, while stealing glances several times as he spoke.

He kicked Wan Ze with his foot.

[Aze! It seems like my buddy's love has arrived!!!]
