Chapter 6: Beauty Saves the Hero

The next day, Chu Zifeng divided the one million yuan he had obtained the previous night into several accounts and deposited them in the bank. He also anonymously transferred 800,000 yuan to the orphanage's account, leaving 200,000 yuan for himself. This 200,000 yuan would cover his four years of university expenses, and he wouldn't ask the orphanage for a single cent.

In the afternoon, with the farewell of Dean Li and the other residents of the orphanage, Chu Zifeng packed his luggage, took the admission notice from Yanjing University, and boarded the long-distance bus from City Z to Yanjing.

Originally, Chu Zifeng wanted to take the train because train tickets were cheaper than bus tickets. However, he had spent three months cultivating in the Xuantian Cave, which made him two days late for the start of the semester. To catch the last day for new student registration, he had to take the bus, which was much faster than the train.

Squeak...

The bus had barely traveled a hundred meters when the driver slammed on the brakes, causing all the passengers to lurch forward. Only Chu Zifeng, who was sitting in the middle, remained completely still.

"What the hell, how do you drive? Do you want to kill us..."

All the passengers began to complain. The driver's skills were really unreliable.

However, the driver did not apologize to the passengers. Instead, he opened the window and shouted at a girl who had suddenly rushed to the front of the bus: "Do you want to die? Get lost, you don't care about your life."

The girl looked apologetic and walked to the bus door, saying, "Sir, I'm sorry, my grandfather and I haven't boarded yet. Could you please open the door for us?"

Long-distance buses wouldn't delay other passengers' time just to wait for one or two people. When it was time to depart, the bus would leave. However, since the girl and her grandfather had caught up, the driver had no choice but to open the door.

When the door opened, all the passengers saw a simply dressed, beautiful girl helping an old man in a simple robe board the bus. After boarding, the girl kept apologizing to all the passengers.

"Grandfather, be careful, walk slowly."

The girl helped the old man to the seat where Chu Zifeng was sitting. She then noticed that only the last two seats were empty and said to Chu Zifeng with a bit of embarrassment, "I'm sorry, could you please switch seats with me? My grandfather is not in good health, and the back is too bumpy. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."

Everyone would give up their seat for a filial child, and Chu Zifeng was no exception. He stood up and helped the girl support the old man, saying, "Grandfather, please sit here."

A middle-aged man sitting nearby also stood up and said to the girl, "Young lady, there aren't many filial young people like you nowadays. I'll give you my seat too."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

The old man in simple robes was also very moved. There were still many kind people in this world. He said to Chu Zifeng and the middle-aged man, "Good deeds will be rewarded. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After that, Chu Zifeng and the middle-aged man sat in the back, while the girl helped her grandfather sit in the middle.

On the journey, Chu Zifeng, sitting in the back, did not admire the scenery outside the window. Instead, he looked at the ring on his left middle finger, his mind heavy with thoughts.

Although Chu Zifeng hated his parents for abandoning him on the street, wondering if they had ever thought about his life, when he learned from Dean Li that his parents might still be alive, he had other thoughts.

"Everyone's fate is different in this world. Although I couldn't control the past, I must control the present!"

The bus continued to drive, and by nightfall, all the passengers were asleep. The bus had left at noon, so it would arrive in Yanjing City the next morning.

Chu Zifeng slowly closed his eyes, wanting to rest for a while and not think about other things. Suddenly, the bus screeched to a halt again, and the driver's second emergency brake woke all the passengers.

"Hey, how do you drive? If you can't drive, don't do this job. Our lives are in your hands."

"Yeah, you want to murder us!"

The awakened passengers were complaining, but no one noticed the driver's face, which was as pale as death.

"Ahh..."

With a woman's scream, the bus door was opened, and six men with black masks on their faces boarded the bus. Even a fool would know what was happening.

"Robbery! Everyone, hand over all your valuables. We only want money, not lives."

Can this be so unlucky? On my first long trip, I encounter a robbery!

Chu Zifeng complained in his heart but did not make any move. There were too many passengers on the bus, and if he provoked the robbers, it might lead to a tragedy!

"Monkey, Kai, you two search the passengers. Meng, Qi, you two watch everyone, don't let them call the police. ... Hey, driver, you, sit still, or I'll make you bleed."

The driver didn't dare to make a sound. He had been in this business for a long time but had never encountered a robbery on the highway before. He had no idea how to handle it.

"Damn, what are you looking at? Hand over all your valuables."

The robbers came to the girl and the old man, and one of them shouted at the old man.

The girl wanted to stand up and confront the robbers, her expression turning very ugly, without the smile she had when she boarded the bus.

But the old man grabbed the girl and whispered, "Xiao Xue, don't be impulsive. They only want money. Give them the money."

"Grandfather..."

"Have you forgotten what you promised me before we left?"

The girl took a deep breath and, though unwilling, handed over all her valuables to the robbers.

The robbers moved down the aisle and finally reached the back.

"Hey, kid, what are you looking at? Hand over all your cash and valuables."

The lead robber shouted at Chu Zifeng. The passengers next to Chu Zifeng, out of fear, had already handed over all their valuables, but Chu Zifeng did not move at all.

"Big brothers, I do have some money, but it's for my tuition. If I give it to you, how will I go to university?"

"Damn, stop talking nonsense. Whether you go to university or not is none of my business. If you don't hand over the money, I'll make some holes in you."

Chu Zifeng sighed and asked, "Are you sure you want my money?"

"Damn, do you think we're here to play? Hand over all your cash and valuables."

Chu Zifeng clenched his fists. These guys were really despicable. They had hands and feet but chose to rob. Others might be afraid of them, but Chu Zifeng didn't take them seriously.

Just as Chu Zifeng was about to act, a girl in the middle of the bus said, "You guys are too much. You even rob people's tuition money."

The robbers didn't expect anyone to stand up, especially a woman.

"Damn, you little girl is quite bold. You look pretty, but since you're asking for trouble, we'll have some fun with you."

"See if you have the luck."

"Xiao Xue, don't be impulsive..."

The old man couldn't stop the girl in time. She had already kicked one of the robbers.

Bang.

No one expected the girl to be a martial artist. Her kick sent all the robbers reeling backward.

"I told you to be a person, not a robber."

Slap.

The girl slapped another robber, which enraged all the robbers.

Chu Zifeng saw the lead robber pull out a knife from his waist and immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

The lead robber pushed the other robbers aside and swung his knife at the girl without hesitation.

All the passengers closed their eyes, not wanting to see the tragedy, but no one expected the girl to roll to the side, avoiding the knife and moving in front of Chu Zifeng.

"Hey, are you okay?"

The girl took a fighting stance and turned to Chu Zifeng.

Chu Zifeng shook his head. He had seen many strong girls in high school, but this was the first time he saw one who could fight.

"I'm fine, thank you!"

"You should thank me. If I hadn't warned you, you would have been hit."

"They're coming again."

As soon as Chu Zifeng finished speaking, the girl pushed him away and said, "You hide, I'll take care of these guys."

Two robbers, each holding a machete, swung at the girl.

The girl grabbed one of the robbers' hands and used his knife to strike the other.

Clang.

The two knives collided, and the girl stepped on the waist of the robber she had grabbed, pinning him to the ground.

But one person can't fight many. The girl had subdued two robbers, but the others rushed at her. She had no chance to dodge, and if she let go, the two robbers she had subdued would immediately attack her.

Seeing the girl in danger, Chu Zifeng's right hand turned, and a green light appeared on his finger. He flicked the green light at the robbers rushing at the girl. One of the robbers screamed, and his knife fell to the ground.

"What happened?"

The robber who had been hit by Chu Zifeng's hidden attack was holding his right hand, wondering what had hit him, causing his hand to go numb.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong. This girl is not ordinary."

Whoosh.

Another green light hit the second robber's hand, and more green lights flew from Chu Zifeng's hand, knocking all the robbers' knives to the ground.

The girl didn't know that someone was helping her in secret. She used her martial arts skills to subdue all the robbers.

The passengers, seeing the girl, who was so young, stand up and subdue all the robbers, also came to help.

Soon, all the robbers were tied up by the passengers, and the driver had already called the police.

Half an hour later, the police arrived and took away all the robbers. The bus erupted in applause, but it was for the girl who had acted bravely, not for Chu Zifeng who had helped in secret.

The girl smiled at Chu Zifeng and said, "You're pretty brave. You dared to stand up to the robbers in such a situation."

Seeing the girl's charming smile, Chu Zifeng felt a bit embarrassed and said, "You're even braver. You're so skilled and subdued all the robbers. You're truly a heroine!"

"Too much praise. I just practiced martial arts from a young age. Well, we still have a night's journey to Yanjing. You should rest."

Chu Zifeng nodded. He never expected that a robbery would turn into a beauty saving a hero. This was quite interesting.

However, Chu Zifeng didn't notice that the girl's grandfather had already noticed him, his face filled with surprise. He thought, "Such strong internal energy, but it's different from ordinary internal energy, even glowing green. Who is this young man?"
