Chapter 60

Li Ying was stunned; she never expected Ning Yi to slap her right away! And in front of the whole class, no less.

She was taken aback, feeling deeply humiliated and wronged, and then, in front of everyone, she burst into tears!

While crying, she spewed all sorts of foul language.

Ning Yi remained calm and composed, turning a deaf ear to her, with a look of "I'm not afraid of anyone" on his face. He coldly watched her, and when he reached out, he had already anticipated this outcome, even considering more extreme actions from Li Ying.

Now, she was just making a scene, which didn't matter much. At worst, he would be kicked out of class, but since he had already successfully enrolled, it didn't matter whether he attended the remaining classes or not.

But then again, could Li Ying be so crazy on her own, or was she being instigated by Xu Kun? He turned his gaze toward Xu Kun.

Xu Kun had initially planned to take advantage of the situation to gloat, but when he saw Ning Yi's eyes seemingly locking onto him, he was startled.

"Does this bastard think I instigated Li Ying to do this?" That would be a grave injustice!

He had finally seen Ning Yi's capabilities. Even Guo Hui had advised him to avoid provoking Ning Yi for now. If Ning Yi got angry and beat him up, what could he do? It would be a beating for nothing.

So, he quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere, though occasionally stealing a glance.

But Ning Yi seemed to have already decided on him. His gaze grew increasingly fierce, and Xu Kun couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly stood up and shouted at Li Ying, "Hey, you old hag, class is about to start, what the hell are you crying for..."

Li Ying was instantly petrified. What was going on? Wasn't Xu Kun supposed to be on her side?

But seeing that guy's fierce look, she had no choice but to shut up.

Ning Yi was also a bit stunned but didn't bother to care. It was better for him if she stopped causing a scene.

His thoughts were mainly drawn by one sentence from Li Ying.

Li Jiawei and Du Wen were engaged? If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but with Du Wen, it just felt uncomfortable.

He finished the morning classes without showing any emotion. After Li Jiawei received a call, she hurriedly went home.

In the afternoon, she skipped class for the first time ever.

Ning Yi was puzzled. After class, he took out his phone to call her and ask what was going on. Guo Hui, stroking his signature long fringe, slowly walked up to him with Guo Yan and two lackeys, blocking his path.

"Hey, isn't this Ning Yi? What's up? Alone today?" Guo Hui asked with a fake smile.

Ning Yi glanced at him, analyzing his intentions. To be honest, Ning Yi wasn't really afraid of him anymore.

Although he was only at the mid-stage of the second level of Qi cultivation, and Guo Hui was at the early stage of the fourth level, the gap was obvious. But with his heaven-defying skill, the Energy Absorption Technique, and the Mental Power Technique, he could handle someone at the early fourth level with a surprise attack without much trouble.

"None of your business!" Ning Yi replied casually.

Guo Hui's face twitched. Before he could say anything, Guo Yan was already annoyed and raised his middle finger, ready to attack.

Guo Hui blocked him and looked at Ning Yi with a faint smile. "Of course, it's none of my business. I just wanted to kindly inform you that your goddess, the beautiful Li Jiawei, might be at the Xianlv Hotel with Du Wen, discussing their engagement ceremony. Tsk tsk."

Ning Yi was taken aback. Indeed, it was Li Jiawei and Du Wen, and it did make him feel uncomfortable. However, the words from Guo Hui's mouth had a hint of provocation.

The Du family was a powerful family, and so was the Li family. Their alliance was not good news for the Guo family.

"What, are you jealous of their engagement?" Ning Yi smiled faintly. He wasn't the same Ning Yi from before; he wouldn't be so impulsive.

"Ha, I'm just kindly informing you. Weren't you so cool? What, seeing your beloved woman taken away, you can't even say a word?" Guo Hui was annoyed by Ning Yi's calmness but still maintained a composed expression, continuing to provoke him.

Ning Yi frowned but remained calm. "Whether I'm cool or not is none of your business... As for someone else, why don't you let out a fart when your beloved man is taken away?"

"What beloved man?"

"Du Wen, isn't he your man?" Ning Yi had already walked past, and Guo Yan stumbled a bit.

"Cousin, he's calling you gay!" Guo Yan realized.

Guo Hui clenched his fists tightly. "Ning Yi, if you have the guts, don't just talk big. Let's meet at the martial arts hall."

Ning Yi raised his chin, looking disdainful. "So, you're challenging me?"

"Yes..." Guo Hui responded instinctively but quickly realized that challenging a "waste" like him, who was only at the second level of Qi cultivation, would be a huge loss of face.

But before he could respond, Ning Yi nodded. "Fine, I accept your challenge. After the midterm exam, at the martial arts hall. Don't run away."

With that, he walked away without looking back.

Damn! Guo Hui looked at his lackeys, feeling furious.

"Cousin, why wait until after the midterm exam? If we wait any longer, Xu Kun and the others will jump off the building," Guo Yan complained.

Guo Hui sighed but explained patiently, "This guy is now involved with Gu Dabeauty. Also, do you know why the homeroom teacher is absent?"

"Didn't they say he's on sick leave?" Guo Yan was puzzled.

Guo Hui took a deep breath and shook his head. "Wrong. I have reliable information that last night, the old pervert Huang Shaoyu tried to assault Gu Dabeauty and was expelled from the school. He's still in the hospital. The most important thing is that Ning Yi, by sheer luck, saved Gu Dabeauty and is now in favor with the principal. Acting now would only cause us trouble..."

"Bro... Huang Shaoyu is at the sixth level of Qi cultivation..." Guo Yan was shocked.

"Of course, I know. But I also heard that Li Jiawei's family member, He Yong, was seen near the scene last night," Guo Hui said, frowning.

Ning Yi walked aimlessly, heading toward the school gate.

The Xianlv Hotel wasn't far from the school, located near the neighborhood where Gu Ying lived, a luxurious five-star hotel.

Leaving the school gate, he took out his phone and called Li Jiawei.

But unexpectedly, her phone was off.

Damn! Ning Yi frowned. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt two powerful auras approaching.

He glanced around and saw two men in suits, one at the fourth level of Qi cultivation and the other at the fifth level. They didn't seem like easy opponents.

Dealing with one with a surprise attack, Ning Yi was confident, but two was a different story.

"Are you Ning Yi?" The more powerful one asked when he was about three to four meters away from Ning Yi.

Ning Yi breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't seem to be here to fight, or they wouldn't have spoken now.

Ning Yi nodded. "What do you want?"

"Our lady wishes to meet you. Would you do us the honor?" The man said calmly, while the other one stood diagonally, forming a pincer, clearly not letting Ning Yi escape.

"Which lady?" Ning Yi frowned.

"You'll know when you meet her," the man replied calmly.

"Ha, how do I know you're not kidnappers? Just saying someone wants to meet me, and I should follow you?" Ning Yi laughed coldly.

The man's expression changed, but after looking at the other one, he said, "Sorry, we were hasty. Our lady is Miss Li Jiawei's mother, Ms. Zhao Xianhua."
