Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

Wang Feixiang punched Yuan Tianzhen on the shoulder.

Yuan Tianzhen was knocked back several steps by the impact and almost fell.

He instinctively wanted to fight back.

But when he thought about the consequences of fighting back, the fist that was already halfway up stopped abruptly.

He gritted his teeth, pulled his arm back, and clutched the jade pendant tightly in his arms, letting Wang Feixiang's fists pound on him again and again.

Shoulders, back, arms, and sides of the waist.

Each punch carried the power of a peak Qi Refining Realm cultivator, causing blood to quickly seep from the corner of his mouth.

His school uniform was torn in several places, and his skin swelled up rapidly from the blows of the fists.

But he just wouldn't fight back.

He held the jade pendant to his chest, hunching over like a hedgehog curled up in a ball.

The onlookers couldn't stand it anymore.

The girl with the ponytail gritted her teeth and took a step forward, but Xu Ling stopped her.

Xu Ling stood in front of her, her face expressionless, and coldly said, "This is between them, you'd better not interfere."

The girl with the ponytail glared at her, her eyes practically spitting fire: "Xu Ling, you've been with him for so many years, don't you know what kind of person he is?"

"How can you sleep at night treating him like this?"

Xu Ling curled her lip dismissively: "Him? He's penniless and has nothing. I was stupid to have played with him for so long."

These words were spoken.

Everyone present was silent.

On the outskirts of the crowd, Qin Chong scratched his head, leaned close to Wang Xian's ear, and whispered, "Little fairy, should we intervene?"

Wang Xian did not answer immediately.

He looked at Yuan Tianzhen, who was curled up on the ground after being beaten, at the boy's hand that was desperately protecting the jade pendant, and then at Xu Ling, who was standing next to him with a cold expression.

Then he gently shook his head and whispered, "No rush."

Qin Chong was somewhat puzzled: "He was almost beaten to death."

"He won't die." Wang Xian's gaze was calm. "This young man has great talent, but unfortunately, he lacks the right temperament."

"He takes emotions too seriously and values ​​a person too much."

"Although today's incident was embarrassing, it allowed him to see many things clearly."

He paused, then looked away. "This is his tribulation; he has to overcome it himself."

Qin Chong tilted his head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't quite figure it out.

But he trusted Wang Xian, so he just said "Oh" and continued to stand by and watch.

The beatings continued in the crowd.

Wang Feixiang seemed to have found an outlet, and his punches became heavier with each blow.

Yuan Tianzhen hunched over, protecting the jade pendant, without uttering a sound.

His lips were pressed tightly together, his teeth were grinding, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

The people from the Extraordinary Bureau arrived very quickly.

A psionic hovercar with a dark blue logo stopped outside the crowd. The door opened, and five people got out.

The leader was a man in his thirties, wearing a combat uniform of the Extraordinary Department.

He wore a silver badge on his chest with two horizontal and one vertical lines engraved on it, representing his identity as captain.

Four ordinary team members followed behind him, their hands resting on the psionic rods at their waists, their expressions serious.

"Make way, everyone, what's going on?"

The captain pushed through the crowd and walked in. He glanced around and saw Yuan Tianzhen slumped on the ground, covered in blood, and a young man standing arrogantly beside her.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Extraordinary Bureau, the crowd suddenly became lively.

"The Extraordinary Affairs Bureau is here! Arrest them! This man is assaulting someone in the street!"

"Yes, he used a blood-burning potion to beat people, and the child even vomited blood!"

"And that woman, she was with someone for so many years, and then she turned around and gave away his grandmother's belongings to someone else!"

The girl with the ponytail pushed forward, pointing at Wang Feixiang. Her voice was still trembling, but much stronger than before: "Arrest him! He not only stole people's things, but he also hit them!"

The voices of the onlookers coalesced and rained down on the captain.

But as the captain listened, his expression changed.

He first saw Wang Feixiang, his pupils contracted sharply, the seriousness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a cautious smile. He bent down slightly and quickly walked up to Wang Feixiang, his tone undisguisedly obsequious: "Young Master Wang, what are you doing here? What's going on?"

Wang Feixiang glanced down at him, a smirk playing on his lips, and then kicked Yuan Tianzhen on the ground again.

The kick landed on Yuan Tianzhen's shoulder, causing him to groan in pain and curl up like a shrimp.

Wang Feixiang then slowly patted the dust off his trousers, his tone very casual:

"Nothing much, just out for a drive."

"This guy stopped my car and tried to steal my things. I was forced to act in self-defense."

A commotion erupted in the crowd.

The girl with the ponytail was the first to rush out, pointing her finger at Wang Feixiang's nose: "You're lying! You clearly stole his jade pendant, forced him to kneel, and even made him bark like a dog! Everyone who saw it can testify! Uncles from the Extraordinary Bureau, arrest him right now!"

The captain frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared.

He turned around, his face stern, and scolded the girl with the ponytail, "How we handle cases is our business, not yours."

"If you continue to obstruct the execution of official duties here, believe me, I will arrest you for obstructing law enforcement."

The girl with the ponytail turned pale instantly.

She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but the breath got stuck in her throat and she couldn't spit it out.

Several people around who had initially wanted to speak up shrank back when they saw the captain's cold gaze.

Everyone knows that going against the Extraordinary Bureau will not end well.

Seeing that the situation was under control, the captain nodded in satisfaction, then turned back and whispered in Wang Feixiang's ear, "Young Master Wang, things aren't going well here. Why don't we go back to the station first and deal with it there?"

Wang Feixiang understood what he meant, raised an eyebrow, and waved his hand dismissively:

"Alright, let's go over there then."

He was about to walk towards the hovercar when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Yuan Tianzhen:

"Oh right, he stole my jade pendant. Could you get it back for me before he breaks it?"

That jade pendant was obtained at his request by a young master whose status and background were far greater than his own.

It is said that the young master was very interested in this jade and said that no matter the cost, he would definitely get his hands on it.

He deliberately approached Xu Ling in order to curry favor with her and trick her into giving him the jade pendant.

If the jade pendant gets damaged in Yuan Tianzhen's hands, it will be difficult to explain to her.

The captain nodded repeatedly and turned to walk towards Yuan Tianzhen.

Yuan Tianzhen was still slumped on the ground, covered in injuries, her school uniform torn in several places, and the blood at the corner of her mouth still wet.

He clutched the jade pendant tightly to his chest, his fingers turning white from digging in, his whole body trembling, but he just wouldn't let go.

The captain walked up to him, looked down at him, and spoke with a hint of impatience:

"You little thief, you stole Young Master Wang's jade pendant! Even with our Extraordinary Affairs Bureau here, you still dare to take it! You've got some nerve!"
