"Heh, even if he's hiding with Senior Leng Yan, I'll still have a chance to make my move against him. He still has to go to school, right..." The boy chuckled, coldly toying with a small, dark green snake...

Chapter Ninety-Six Coincidence

After a round of training, Lu Zhicheng and Young Master Bao began counting the wounds on my body. Looking at the numerous spherical wounds, they carefully counted, "Three hundred and twenty-seven, three hundred and twenty-eight..."

"Damn, quite a few of these wounds are overlapping. How can you count them all?" I asked them in surprise.

“We can count them, there’s nothing we can’t count. Don’t bother us, let’s keep counting.” They continued counting the wounds on my body, “Four hundred and ninety-three, four hundred and ninety-four…”

"Reporting, sir. There are a total of four hundred and ninety-nine wounds!" Suddenly, Young Master Bao stood up with a serious expression.

"Oh, compared to a few days ago, you've improved quite a bit," Leng Yan said, lying on a rope and smiling at us.

Looking at Leng Yan's smile, I began to feel afraid. Because what awaited me was an enormous amount of physical training.

Leng Yan said that every time I get hit by the ball, I have to do an extra set of physical training. And what does this set of training consist of? Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and horse stance punches, 100 reps per set. I've been hit by Leng Yan a total of 499 times, so I have to do 49,000…

Just thinking about the sheer amount of physical training I'm about to faint.

For the past few days, Lu Zhicheng, Young Master Bao, and I have been staying at Leng Yan's place. We haven't gone to school or left the building. Leng Yan keeps a black dog in the building. Every day, we give the dog our food and water first, and only eat when we're sure the dog is alright.

Although the training was tough, I was safe. Occasionally, Leng Yan would let us rest for a while, and I could even call Zhang Xuan to chat.

My mind was racing when I saw Leng Yan smiling at me. I immediately understood, and quickly put my hands on the ground, saying, "Brothers, let's begin!"

"it is good!"

Two people braced themselves with their hands on the ground, while another person put one hand behind their back. With a loud shout, the three of us began the most basic physical training.

I had already developed some physical fitness from An Yao's training. Then, after undergoing intense physical training with Leng Yan, my physical fitness improved significantly.

At first, An Yao trained me to do sit-ups, and I could only do three. It seemed I couldn't do any more, so she scattered nails underneath me, making me hold them up and sweat. Pushed by her, I gradually managed to do more. From three to ten, and then from ten to fifty.

Now that I'm with Leng Yan, I can do two hundred push-ups in one go. Because I have nothing else to do, all I do every day is practice martial arts. Every time I do push-ups, I'm drenched in sweat. And they push me in all sorts of ways. It's impossible for me to do fewer than that in one go.

Thinking about that enormous sum that seemed to stretch on forever, the three of us chanted as we worked, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight; two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... eight, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, let's do it again..."

I did two hundred in one go, then took a short breath, then did another two hundred, and took another breath. When I got to several thousand, I thought it was too slow, so I tried increasing the number of push-ups in one go. Holy crap, it actually worked! I could do three hundred push-ups in one go!

We worked from day to night, but we still hadn't finished by nightfall. Leng Yan clapped her hands and told us to get up, saying, "That's enough. Let's continue with the movement training. This time, Lu Zhicheng and Young Master Bao will hit you. Make them open their eyes when they hit you. If you dodge one, you'll get a hundred fewer punishments, but if you dodge one, they'll get a hundred more punishments."

"What? We're involved too?" Upon hearing Leng Yan's words, Lu Zhicheng and Young Master Bao's eyes widened immediately.

“Yes,” Leng Yan said.

After hearing Leng Yan's words, Young Master Lu and Young Master Bao looked at the softball in their hands. After thinking for a moment, they immediately started slamming it at me.

"Damn it, you two are so heartless!" I yelled at them as I quickly dodged.

"Great hero, we haven't finished today's tasks yet. Should we forget about today's punishment?" Ignoring me, Young Master Bao asked Leng Yan.

“No, the unfinished work will be piled up with the work that follows. If I can’t finish it, I’ll work until midnight and then get up at six in the morning to continue,” Leng Yan said.

"Damn it, I want to sleep an extra hour!" My eyes were dark circles. Young Master Bao grabbed a softball and slammed it at me.

They practiced like this repeatedly, and three more days passed in the blink of an eye. By this time, we owed Leng Yan over 70,000 sets of physical training. We were exhausted to the point of collapse, and our physical training was weak and listless. As the outside gradually brightened, Leng Yan smiled and said, "Another small cycle has passed in a flash. You don't need to train today. Go to school, get a good night's sleep, and come back after the final exams."

These past eight or nine days, Leng Yan nearly tortured us to death; our bodies had reached their limit. But when we heard that Leng Yan wanted us to come back after our final exams, we were all a little reluctant. We wanted to skip the final exams, just rest with Leng Yan, and then keep training.

Bending his arm slightly, Young Master Bao said to Leng Yan, "Great hero, let's persevere as long as we can."

“No, you should go to school. It’s been eight or nine days since you last went to school,” Leng Yan said.

“I don’t need to go to school anyway, it doesn’t matter whether I go or not. I find it more interesting to practice martial arts with you here than to go to school,” said Young Master Bao.

“Yes, it doesn’t matter whether I go to study or not. I also want to practice martial arts with you.” Lu Zhicheng nodded.

“No, the skills I teach aren’t just martial arts. Besides martial arts, there are also formations and military strategies. If you don’t study well, you’ll have a hard time understanding what I’m teaching you. If you don’t study well, next time you come, I won’t teach you martial arts; I’ll teach you academics instead,” Leng Yan said.

"..." After hearing Leng Yan's words, the three of us were all depressed.

“Let’s go. There’s another kid waiting for you outside. He’s been waiting for you for eight or nine days now,” Leng Yan said.

After hearing Leng Yan's words, the three of us looked outside. By then, the streets outside were completely bright, but we didn't see anyone guarding us.

But I knew. That person was Wang Huan. He was hiding in the shadows, waiting for us to come out so he could deal with us.

Fearing an attack from Wang Huan and Xiao Haoren's henchmen, we hailed a taxi as soon as we left the house. After arriving at the school, we quickly slipped into the campus.

Although we don't have many protectors at our school, the campus is still a safe place. Wang Huan might be able to sneak in and deal with us, but Xiao Haoren's thugs have absolutely no chance of getting in.

The three of us walked into the teaching building side by side. As soon as we entered, we hid in the washroom to wash our faces and smoke. After splashing cold water on my face, I lit a cigarette and said, "Master has given us a holiday, but the final exams are still three days away. The final exams are in two days, so we can only go to see Master in five days. During these five days, Wang Huan will definitely make his move on us. His target is me, but you guys should also be careful and not eat anything carelessly, or you might get poisoned by him."

"Yeah, we definitely can't let him poison us. We've been eating together these past few days, so I can find someone to try it. Right, I'll find that traitor Qian Jin from your class. Let him eat it first, and we'll eat it after he's done. Let's see what Wang Xiaosi can do to us then!" Young Master Bao took a drag on his cigarette and grinned mischievously.

"No, let's not find anyone to test the poison. That's too much of a bully. Besides, Qian Jin is keeping a low profile these days, so let's not bully him," I said after thinking for a moment.

“Let’s go to the cafeteria. There are so many people eating there, Wang Huan can’t possibly poison them. Besides, there are a few pigs in the backyard of our cafeteria. If we’re still worried, we can let those pigs eat it first, then we can eat it ourselves,” Lu Zhicheng said.

"Damn, that's a great idea! That's a good move!" Upon hearing Lu Zhicheng's words, Young Master Bao immediately smiled.

After we finished discussing it, I went to the water dispenser room to prepare for class. I've been too tired from being slept on by Leng Yan these past few days, so I plan to take a good nap during class.

But just as I opened the door, Young Master Bao started playing a trick on me. I had barely opened the door to go out when Young Master Bao, grinning mischievously, shoved me hard from behind, yelling, "Take this!"

"Ouch!" With his push, I bumped right into a girl outside. I fell hard into her arms, and I heard her scream at the same time.

At that moment, I felt the whole world go silent.

Looking at the girl hugging me, my heart was pounding so hard...

Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Five Poison Boys and the Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth

Thump, thump, thump, as the seconds passed, my face gradually turned red. Looking at the girl holding me in her arms, my blood was rushing faster and faster.

Her body smelled so good, even her fragrance was so noble. And I hadn't seen her for seven or eight days, and now I felt inexplicably happy.

Beside her, four girls, their faces contorted with anger, were about to attack me. Upon seeing me, all four of them showed expressions of surprise.

I was being watched by her, watched by everyone. Leaning against her, my gaze flickered.

Why do I feel that way when I see her? A day apart feels like three autumns.

"You've lost weight..." she said, hugging me. A smile gradually appeared on her delicate face.

“You’ve lost weight too…” I couldn’t help but smile as well.

Suddenly, someone grabbed me and pulled me up. Then, glaring at me fiercely and looking at her angrily, they said, "Miss Xi'er, are you alright?"

"Back off, back off!" The four girls immediately approached and looked coldly at the boy.

I glanced at the boy in surprise and realized it was Li, the second-best student in our school. Li was an excellent student, and his family was also very well-off. He wasn't a slacker. But many classmates admired him. Before An Yao found me, Li was someone I always looked up to. Now, I was so close to him, and he even pulled me up with a big hug.

The man immediately took a half step back, and the talented Li gently adjusted his glasses and smiled apologetically. “Four ladies, please forgive my intrusion. I simply greatly admire Xi’er, and I was angered to see someone taking advantage of her. Xi’er, would you like me to teach this scoundrel a lesson? He's despicable!”

"What? You want to teach my brother Xi a lesson?" Young Master Bao, who was standing next to him, was stunned.

"Yes, do you think I'd be afraid of you?" Li Dacaizi gave Bao Shaoye a cold look.

I don't know how good Li Dacai is at fighting, but I do know that Young Master Bao is extremely skilled in combat. If it weren't for the presence of experts from Tianlei, Dihuo, and Xi'er's family, Young Master Bao's strength would be second only to Lu Zhicheng, definitely making him the second strongest in our school. It's just that Young Master Bao has a large group of followers, so he never needs to lift a finger.

"You little brat, shut up if you don't want to die!" Young Master Bao grabbed Li Dacai's collar.

Young Master Bao grabbed his collar, but Li the Scholar didn't retaliate. However, there was no fear in his eyes. I realized then that this Li the Scholar was completely incapable of fighting. He only dared to confront Young Master Bao because of the arrogance of a scholar.

During the seven or eight days I was practicing martial arts, a lot must have happened at our school. I remember that on the day Xi'er arrived, she attracted many suitors, and this talented Li was probably one of them.

Damn, just thinking about this makes me a little angry. I think to myself, is this Li Dacaizi an idiot? Xi'er is my fiancée, and he actually said he would teach me a lesson in front of my fiancée.

However, the talented Li didn't know I was Xi'er's fiancé. He still thought I was the frail Wang Xi from before, the lowly Wang Xi who was ostracized by everyone every day. Except now I've leveled up and become the rascal Wang Xi, hanging out with Young Master Bao and Lu Zhicheng.

With a cold laugh, Li the Great Scholar glanced disdainfully at Young Master Bao, then at me and Lu Zhicheng, and said, "Young Master Bao, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have two men. I may not be able to beat you, but I'm not afraid of you either. If we were to fight, I'd still be willing to give you a shot. However, my family seems to be richer than yours, right? If you injure me, I'm afraid things won't end well today."

"You stinking shoe seller. You only have a BMW 4 Series, so what? Stop showing off!" Hearing Li Dacai's words, Young Master Bao gripped his collar even tighter.

"You sell cosmetics, but you probably don't even own a car, do you?" Li Dacai sneered.

Just then, a group of students squeezed through the corridor. Seeing the confrontation between Li the Great Scholar and Young Master Bao, the students quickly stood beside Li the Great Scholar and said, "Young Master Li, we're here to protect you!"

"Fuck you! I'm losing all my status these days. Who dares to challenge me, this trash?!" Upon seeing the group of good students beside Li the Great Scholar, Young Master Bao was so angry he laughed.

Looking at those students, I felt helpless. Li Da Cai Zi's henchmen weren't just troublemakers; they were some of the school's best students. These students were usually low-key, didn't smoke, fight, or swear. They were from a completely different world from the arrogant and domineering Bao Shao Ye, but now they dared to fight for Li Da Cai Zi.

Gradually, I began to understand something more.

This world will never lack bosses. Wherever there are people, there will be a world of its own. I used to think Young Master Bao was hateful; he was the school's troublemaker and a disgrace to our school. But now Young Master Bao has become a good guy; he hangs out with me all day and no longer bullies other students. And during the days we were missing, Li the Talented replaced Young Master Bao, recruited a few followers, and became the new boss of our school.

He hasn't yet enjoyed the benefits of power. But if he were allowed to be the boss for a while longer, he would surely surpass his predecessors. Currently, Xi'er has lost most of her suitors; it must be that the talented Li used his influence to drive them away.

"Come with me." Suddenly, Xi'er grabbed my hand and led me outside.

Holding Xi'er's hand, I froze completely. At that moment, I saw Li Dacai's face turn ashen, and he even tried to rush up and hit me.

"Fuck you, what are you trying to do?" Young Master Bao stepped in front of him, blocking his way.

"Young Master Bao, get out of my way!" Li Dacai clenched his fists.

"Damn, you want to fight? Come and try it with me!" Lu Zhicheng stood next to Young Master Bao.

"Don't do anything reckless! Don't do anything reckless! This is a school. Fighting won't do us any good!" Li Dacai's men shouted hurriedly.

"You son of a bitch. I already have seven disciplinary actions, what's one more? You bunch of pedantic and corrupt good students, try touching me if you dare!" Young Master Bao yelled behind me.

Pulled along by Xi'er, we walked quickly down the corridor. In the blink of an eye, she had pulled me out of the teaching building. The sun shone brightly outside. Xi'er's skin was dazzlingly white in the sunlight. At that moment, she seemed to be bathed in gold, and a simple smile appeared on her delicate face. "I'm sorry, Xi'er has caused you trouble. That talented Li is Xi'er's suitor, but Xi'er has never spoken to him, and has never spoken to any boy other than you..."

Hearing Xi'er explain to me warmed my heart. A smile involuntarily appeared on my face, and I said to her with a smile, "It's alright, it's just that my little fiancée is so lovable."

After saying that, I was startled and a little regretful. I thought to myself, "I have a girlfriend, how could I have said such ambiguous things to her without thinking?"

But she's truly irresistible. It's not just her appearance, but also her personality that makes you want to cherish her.

Xi'er paused slightly upon hearing my words. Then her face flushed, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips. "Your Highness," she said, "Xi'er actually has something to discuss with you."

"What is it?" I asked.

"Xi'er plans to join forces with you to lure Wang Huan out and capture him," Xi'er said.

"Why? Has he been trying to harm you all this time?" I frowned.

“Yes. Lately, no one has been able to eat properly. Not only Xi’er and Chunxia Qiudong, but also An Yao and Feng Huo Lei Dian have been unable to eat properly. Even though An Yao used the silver needle method to test for poison, Brother Zhu Mulangma was still poisoned and has now been sent back to the An family to rest,” Xi’er said.

"Mount Everest is poisoned?" I exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, Wang Huan’s method of poisoning was truly ingenious. His way of concealing himself was also too good.” Xi’er said helplessly.
