Superpowered Love Academy

Zuo Le clearly didn't know Tu Qi; he was lying to himself while also protecting that girl.

What is the relationship between that girl and Tu Qi?

Tu Qi put the prayer beside her and suddenly stood up and moved closer to Lu Chaoxi:

"Chaoxi, you just said their hands were linked together?"

"Who is she?" Lu Chaoxi didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.

Tu Qi touched her braided pigtails and gently leaned her face close to Lu Chaoxi's ear:

"Her name is Tu Mi, and she's my younger sister..."

"younger sister?"

"Yes, Chaoxi, after all, you yourself said that your brother and I have a pact, and in the future we must follow the inheritance ring and perform the inheritance ceremony. How could I be with other boys?"

Being pressed so close by Tu Qi, Lu Chaoxi felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Can you stay away from me? How come I never knew you had a younger sister?"

“My sister has never been in good health and spends most of her time recuperating at the church, so it’s normal that outsiders don’t know she exists.”

"Then why did she run away?"

Instead of stepping back as Lu Chaoxi asked, Tu Qi stood up, hugged Lu Chaoxi's head, and pressed it against her full robe.

This gesture is just like holding a child.

"On the road of life, we will always encounter some unexpected events, day and night."

Lu Chaoxi felt suffocated by her and quickly broke free from her chest:

"You don't know Zuo Le, and Zuo Le doesn't know you, right?"

Tu Qi narrowed her eyes:

"Are you your friend? I'm sorry, my presence has caused some misunderstandings between you!"

Lu Chaoxi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after Tu Qi guessed correctly again.

She suddenly felt that the money she had given was burning her heart, and even felt a little sorry for Zuo Le. She had always thought that Zuo Le was the kind of person who would give up on feelings for money.

Unexpectedly, he kept his friend's secret all along, bearing the stigma and slander himself.

She, Lu Chaoxi, was the one who was so clever but foolish.

Lu Chaoxi sorted out her thoughts. Tu Qi had definitely already noticed Zuo Le; she had to be the first to...

"He cheated me out of 10,000 yuan, so I'm in a hurry to find him. You'd better not get in my way!"

Tuqi smiled and nodded. She walked to the window, opened it, and watched the students coming and going in prayer.

"Okay."

"In that case, I'm leaving."

Lu Chaoxi did not linger. She did not want Tu Qi to guess her thoughts and ideas. Staying away from this dangerous woman was the best choice.

"Yes, I'll invite you to afternoon tea at the Martial Arts Academy sometime."

Tu Qi waved to her and watched Lu Chaoxi leave.

After everyone left, Tuqi turned around, knelt down on the prayer mat again, and picked up the prayer book.

The face, almost identical to that of Tu Mi, was calm, but the lowered gaze held an unusual quality:

"She actually knows a man."

When Tu Qi said those words, her tone was strange; it wasn't anger, nor jealousy, but rather something she herself couldn't define...

Envy? Resentment? Heartache? No one can say for sure.

"Zuo Le, who has both Lu Chaoxi and Tu Mi on his mind, is truly someone to look forward to!"

……

At the same moment, at the entrance of the college.

The announcement for Friday's awareness day is still playing.

[Dear students and faculty, a century after the cataclysmic events, humanity's extraordinary endeavors have made remarkable progress, achieving outstanding results across the board!]

[According to a report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Shanghai residents' satisfaction rate increased by 24% this year, a significant increase compared to last year. Under the leadership of the "King of Salvation Council" and the protection of the "Light Bearers," everyone lives in peace and contentment, with no one picking up lost items on the road and doors left unlocked at night. Our lives are thriving.]

Recently, relevant departments have launched a joint law enforcement operation to crack down on organized crime in the dock area, severely punishing criminals and deterring evildoers...

The bus stop at the school gate.

Zuo Le waited silently for the No. 27 bus to the dock, but even here, he could still hear the announcements from the college gate.

To be honest, he found it a bit noisy.

The noise continued until he got into the car.

There weren't many people on the bus. Zuo Le sat in the back by the window, resting his chin on his hand and leaning against the window, his gaze sweeping over the ever-changing buildings.

He doesn't like being sentimental.

I just feel that the feeling of getting used to someone's presence and then having them suddenly disappear is really unpleasant!

Zuo Le took out a hand gripper from her pocket, her face tense, and began to squeeze hard.

One hour later.

The pier, the Egret Bar.

Zuo Le, who had changed his clothes, pushed open the door and entered. Several pairs of eyes immediately turned to him.

The fat bartender standing behind the bar raised his hand:

"Zuo Zi, you've finally arrived."

"Yeah, here I am, Fatty."

Zuo Le raised his hand in response and turned to look at the lobby of the Egret Bar.

There were a few more tables of people than usual today, both men and women, and many of them had bulging sleeves, probably carrying weapons.

Zuo Le's gaze didn't linger for long before returning to the bartender, Fei.

The fat man handed over a glass of wine, then lowered his voice:

"Jing-jie is waiting inside. Hey, do you want me to come with you?"

As he spoke, he beckoned to the bartender beside him:

"Hey, Xiao Xu, keep an eye on things, your brother Zuo and I have something to do."

"Got it, Fatty."

The bartender walked towards the bar, but Zuo Le waved his hand:

"No need, Fatty. Having too many people would only weaken our momentum and wouldn't make any sense."

Zuo Le was telling the truth; there's a huge difference between being alone and being with two people in this environment.

Not only would it weaken our morale, it might not even be of any benefit.

Moreover, he doesn't trust anyone, and the bartender Fei isn't really one of his own; he's just Zuo Le's current partner.

The relationship between the two is purely based on self-interest. If he were in danger, it's hard to say that the bartender wouldn't be the first to strike.

"Are you sure you want just one person? Holy crap, you've got guts."

"It's alright, I'm off, Fatty."

Zuo Le waved his hand and walked straight towards the back hall. It was Friday, and he took the same road.

But this time, there was no hesitation or doubt in Zuo Le's eyes.

His strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Upon opening the back door, the area around the sofa had been cleared out, and people were standing on both sides.

There was only one woman sitting on the sofa.

Sister Jing, Xu Jing.

She was around 30 years old, well-maintained, and wearing a dark green velvet cheongsam with a short black fur coat over it.

Her long hair was tied up, she wore heavy makeup, and her features were delicate but lacked softness. She held a slender cigarette in her hand, the filter of which was also deep red, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

Zuo Le paused for a moment at the black snake tattoos on the corner of her eye and the back of her hand, then nodded and said:

"Sister Jing."

Xu Jing looked up and scrutinized Zuo Le, turning the lighter she had just used over and over in her hand, fiddling with the nozzle, making a 'click, click' sound repeatedly.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, but Zuo Le did not show any discomfort or unnaturalness.

Calm and composed, from beginning to end.

Perhaps this performance passed the other party's test, and Xu Jing finally spoke:

"one person?"

"Mm." Zuo Le nodded.

"You've got guts."

Chapter 33 The Pledge of Allegiance

Xu Jing's smile vanished, replaced by the imposing aura of a gang leader, and her tone became sinister.

"You're younger than I expected. The bartender, Fei, said you'd be coming today, and I didn't quite believe it. I didn't expect you to actually come."

"If I don't come, will Sister Jing let my family off the hook?"

Zuo Le did not readily express his intentions, but instead probed step by step to see if he could escape.

Xu Jing tapped her temples. Her mouth was large, and her smile wasn't very attractive.

"What are you saying? They are all brothers who have worshipped the holy image. Those who are loyal and righteous will enjoy wealth and glory, while those who are disloyal and unrighteous will be like lotus flowers."

Upon hearing her say that, Zuo Le knew that the other party had no intention of letting her go.

"Yes, we are all brothers who have worshipped the holy image."

Sure enough, once you join a gang, it's like entering a deep sea; it's easy to get in but hard to get out.

Xu Jing put a lot of pressure on Zuo Le, but Zuo Le wasn't bothered by it. In fact, at the moment when the pressure was at its peak, Zuo Le stepped forward and sat down at the other end of the sofa.

This scene even moved the members of the Black Snake Gang on both sides.

That person who mourned the dead certainly had guts!

"Kid, you still dare to be so arrogant after killing Zhuo Ken?" Xu Jing laughed.

Zuo Le did not respond immediately. Instead, he picked up a cigarette from the table, took one out, and put it in his mouth. However, he did not ask Xu Jing for a lighter. Instead, he beckoned to his back.

"Hey bro, can I borrow a light?"

Before the person behind Zuo Le could react, Xu Jing tossed the lighter she was holding over.

"Use mine."

Zuo Le caught the lighter with his backhand and lit it with a 'click'.

"Thank you. Hiss~, Zhuo Ken died because he was too stupid, so stupid that he couldn't even control his own penis and tried to harm my people. I'm sitting here because I'm still alive. What do you say, Sister Jing?"

As Zuo Le finished speaking, the lighter was placed on the coffee table and pushed back in front of Xu Jing.

Xu Jing remained calm and collected, but she had actually wanted to replace Zhuo Ken for a long time.

Just as Zuo Le said, he was too stupid, too greedy, and couldn't control his lower body; he would get into trouble sooner or later.

By killing Zhuo Ken, Zuo Le actually eliminated a potential threat for her.

People in the underworld include those who use their brains, those who are capable, those who spend money, and those who have guts.

If you can get by with just one of these four things, you can make a name for yourself.

Zuo Le, this person...

Judging from his past actions, he can be considered intelligent.
