Chapter Fifteen: Zhao Shan's Revenge

  "Send Fan Yi downstairs, watching Fan Yi walk into the stairwell, Chu Lingyun turned his head to look at Liu Yi "I helped you a lot today, didn't I? Shouldn't you show some gratitude?"

  Liu Yi couldn't help but be speechless.

  Seeing Liu Yi not making a sound, Chu Lingyun also got slightly angry. "It's already so late, if it weren't for your matter, I would have finished eating dinner by now! You're letting me treat you to a midnight snack and you're still so unwilling, how petty!"

  At this point, Chu Lingyun seemed pitiful, making Liu Yi's heart feel sour, so he hastily replied "Please, please, please, can't I treat you instead?"

  They stopped the car by the roadside and came to a small stall. Chu Lingyun smiled like a child and said to Liu Yi, "The wonton noodles here are delicious, do you want to try a bowl too?" Liu Yi was also a little hungry, so he nodded in agreement.

  Liu Yi sat down beside the simple folding table, watching Chu Lingyun gobble up her wonton noodles. He couldn't help but exclaim that this female police officer actually had such a cute side too. Chu Lingyun seemed to have noticed Liu Yi's unusual behavior and looked up at him, slightly tidying up her hair and wiping the corner of her mouth with a tissue, asking "What are you looking at? Do I have flowers on my face?"

  "Hmm, indeed there are flowers! There's a big dog tail flower, haha!" Liu Yi teased Chu Lingyun.

  Chu Lingyun saw Liu Yi mocking her, feeling both a little embarrassed and angry, she crumpled the paper in her hand into a ball and threw it at Liu Yi, saying "You're the one who's a dog-tail flower! Your whole family is dog-tail flowers!"

  Liu Yi smiled faintly and stopped arguing with Chu Lingyun, starting the car.

  After finishing his wonton noodles, Liu Yi bid farewell and rushed home, thinking of returning early to practice the Dragon Subduing Technique.

  Due to the effect of the Jade Dragon Technique, Liu Yi is now running extremely lightly and arrives home in no time. He throws his bag on the ground and starts cultivating, but then hears the voice of the Illusory Spirit "Not bad, not bad, a good start indeed, however, I must tell you that there are only six Refining Pills in total, if you use them up, there won't be any more, so be sure to use them sparingly."

  Liu Yi, however, didn't think so. "The earlier you use it, the earlier you'll attain the Way!" he said, and then took another Refining Pill to start his cultivation. Huan Ling couldn't help but sigh, "At this rate, advancing to the middle stage of the Xun rank will definitely happen within a month."

  This made Liu Yi's heart bloom with joy, and he began to cultivate with renewed energy...

  Time is like a flowing spring water, flowing on the numerical axis of the times, and the footsteps of the college entrance examination are also approaching day by day...

  Since being released, Zhao Shanjun has been harboring a grudge against Liu Yi, spending his days socializing with various thugs on the streets, thinking of ways to take revenge on Liu.

  It was the eve of Labour Day, Zhao Shanpao was drinking with a dozen or so friends in a private room at Fumanlou Hotel. "Brothers, I've been to high school for almost three years and haven't even gotten a graduation certificate, do you think it's unfair?"

  Everyone chimed in and echoed "It must be a misunderstanding, what's going on, Shan Pao Ge?"

  Zhao Shan slammed the cup on the table, drinking the wine in one gulp, and cursed loudly: "It's all because of that bastard Liu Yi! Not only did he ruin my good fortune, but also turned me into this!"

  Emboldened by the wine, a group of thugs started shouting wildly "Mountain cannon brother, kill him! He's just a high school student!" "Right, chop him to death!" "Play him to death!"

  "Brothers, are you willing to lend me a helping hand?" Zhao Shanjun said with momentum.

  Everyone expressed their willingness to help with all their might.

  Zhao Shanpao was overjoyed and hastily called out "Good!" "Alright brothers, let's down this cup of wine and wish for the early elimination of that little brat!" As he spoke, Zhao Shanpao poured himself another full cup of beer and raised his glass.

  "Brothers, I don't want to delay this matter any longer. How about we settle it today?" Zhao Shanjun took a deep breath and continued.

  Everyone at the table raised their glasses and clinked them together with a loud "clink", indicating that they should all contribute their share of strength.

  Liu Yi was completely unaware, and he hadn't thought that Zhao Shan would dare to come back and find fault with him again. He was still busy preparing for the college entrance exam, after all, there were less than two months left before the exam.

  It's almost noon, and Zhao Tong asked Liu Yi what to eat for lunch. Liu Yi was busy reading books and replied without lifting his head, "Do you need to ask? Whatever is quick to make, we'll eat that. I don't care about not studying, but once I start learning, I find out that I don't know this or that."

  Zhao Tong also saw that Liu Yi was sincere in wanting to save time, so he replied "Then, Brother Yi, I'll go buy food and bring it back for you directly?"

  "I didn't expect Liu Yi to say 'forget it, I've been studying for a while and it's not very efficient, let's go together later.'"

  When the school bell rang, Liu Yi and Zhao Tong walked out of the school gate together and headed to a nearby fast food restaurant "McKen Chicken". They ordered two sets of take-out meals and chatted leisurely as they walked back.

  Just a few steps away, an out-of-place voice burst into Liu Yi's ears: "Liu Yi, you little scoundrel, you've gotten me into such a mess, this can't be the end of it!"

  Turning around, it was actually Zhao Shanpao. Since Zhao Shanpao had been staying in the detention center for a while, Liu Yi hadn't seen him for some time. Seeing him, Liu Yi was also very surprised, thinking that this kid should have been locked up, how did he get out so quickly?

  Before Liu Yi could react, Zhao Shan led a group of people to surround him and said, "The debt you owe me, we should settle it once and for all." He then glanced at Zhao Tong and said, "You little brat, get out of the way, don't interfere with my business. I won't bother you because we're classmates, but if you still stand together with Liu Yi, I won't care about our classmate relationship anymore."

  Zhao Shancannon looked up, puffing on a cigarette, looking at Zhao Tong with an air of pretentiousness, thinking he would definitely roll away soon. But unexpectedly, Zhao Tong immediately spat a mouthful of soda water on Zhao Shancannon's face and laughed, saying to Liu Yi "Yi ge, how did I just hear someone fart? Haha" As Liu Yi's good brother, the righteous Zhao Tong wouldn't abandon him at this time.

  Liu Yi also knew about Zhao Tong's feelings and was deeply moved, but he couldn't let his brother take risks for him either. He quickly said to Zhao Tong, "This is between me and Zhao Shanpao, I don't want you to get involved, hurry up and leave."

  Zhao Shan was spat on by Zhao Tong, and naturally couldn't tolerate it. He burst into a loud scolding: "You little dead kid, how dare you spit on your old man? You think you can just walk away? No way!"

  Liu Yi saw that Zhao Shanpao wanted to keep Zhao Tong, so he took the initiative and jumped up in place, kicking one foot towards Zhao Shanpao's face.

  Zhao Shan stumbled backward several steps before regaining his footing, and just as he was about to order everyone to advance together, he saw Liu Yi use the "Autumn Wind Sweeping Away Fallen Leaves" move to force a group of people back.

  Liu Yi found a breakthrough, a relatively weak rascal. Liu Yi grabbed his waistband with one hand and his collar with the other, and slammed him onto another rascal with an over-the-shoulder throw, shouting "Zhao Tong, run quickly!"

  Although Zhao Tong hadn't fought much, he was quite robust and his over 200 pounds of weight wasn't just for show. He replied "We're good brothers, we value loyalty, in life and death we'll be together!" Then he charged at another tall and thin individual.

  Qiao Gao was paying attention to Liu Yi when he was suddenly pressed to the ground by Zhao Tong, instantly losing his combat ability.

  Liu Yi saw the situation and roared, "Since we are brothers, let's fight our way out together!" Zhao Tong also roared and swung a punch at someone beside him.

  The Dragon's Fist wasn't wasted, Liu Yi elbowed a nearby thug in the solar plexus. The thug was hit once in the middle of his chest and suddenly couldn't breathe, falling to the ground clutching at his chest.

  The two of them shielded each other, and facing these dozen or so thugs, they didn't show the slightest weakness. Of course, this was also a result of Liu Yi's cultivation after his fall into the mountain stream; if it were before that, the two of them would probably have been beaten black and blue by now.

  After holding on for a while, Zhao Shan saw that the people he had called over were getting injured one by one, but Liu Yi was fine. He couldn't help feeling extremely annoyed and shouted "Retreat!" before turning around to flee. He thought to himself that with so many people injured, he would have to pay their medical bills, which wouldn't be worth it. Originally, he had spent a lot of money treating them to a big meal.

  Seeing Zhao Shanpao and others fleeing in disarray, Zhao Tong and Liu Yi couldn't help but exchange a smile, the two of them clapping their hands to celebrate their victory.

  Look at the meal set bought earlier, quietly lying on the ground, and has been stepped on by countless feet. The two had to buy another one and head towards the classroom.
