Chapter 52

In the morning, the streets of Shicheng were bustling with even more people.

"Miss Ye Zijin has arrived."

The crowd stirred, and all eyes on the street immediately turned to the front, where a group of teenagers was approaching. They surrounded a girl in the center.

The girl moved gracefully, her eyes filled with a misty gaze, pointing at the flowers blooming throughout the city. She was charming and dignified, with skin as smooth as jade, exuding a sweet fragrance. As she walked, the boys around her were captivated, and the few other girls, though also very beautiful, paled in comparison.

Beside the girl, a well-dressed young man closely followed, occasionally speaking with great attentiveness.

"Ye Zijin."

Du Shaofu frowned slightly, not expecting to encounter her and immediately wanted to turn and leave.

"Shaofu."

However, it was too late for Du Shaofu to leave. Ye Zijin had already seen him, and her graceful figure quickly approached. Her smile captured everyone's attention, and she soon stood in front of Du Shaofu.

"Miss Ye."

Looking at the face before him, Du Shaofu could only sigh inwardly. It was clear that if she were just a bit more mature, she would be as beautiful as a celestial being.

Ye Zijin's small lips curled slightly, her red lips parted, inviting a kiss. She said to Du Shaofu, "Shaofu, you can just call me Zijin. Otherwise, it will seem too formal."

"This..." Du Shaofu frowned.

"What, do you look down on me?" Ye Zijin looked at Du Shaofu, her smile causing many around her to feel jealous. She said, "It's settled. You mustn't be so formal with me in the future. Also, since you were busy yesterday, can you accompany me today?"

"Zijin, who is this?"

"Zijin, who is this handsome young man?"

A few other remarkable girls approached, their bright eyes filled with curiosity as they looked at Du Shaofu. Under his purple robe, his slightly slender but very upright figure, combined with his strong and sharp face, had a charm that was hard to resist for many girls.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is Du Shaofu, the young master of the Du family. He saved my life in the Beast Mountain Range, so he is my savior."

Ye Zijin said happily, standing closely beside Du Shaofu, as if to show the other girls that he was hers and not theirs.

"Du Shaofu of the Du family."

Upon hearing this, many eyes changed. The name Du Shaofu was not unfamiliar in Shicheng, especially in recent times, as it had been widely discussed. The city lord's personal visit to the Du family to thank Du Shaofu had caused quite a stir in Shicheng.

"So, he is Du Shaofu of the Du family."

"The legendary foolish young master of the Du family? He doesn't look foolish at all."

The onlookers on both sides of the street immediately focused their attention on Du Shaofu, a famous name they had only heard of but never seen, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"So, you are the foolish young master of the Du family."

A voice sounded, and several young men accompanied a well-dressed young man who approached. The well-dressed young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old, slightly more robust than Du Shaofu, but about the same height. His face was quite handsome, but his eyes held no kindness as he looked at Du Shaofu, only ridicule and mockery. He then smiled at Ye Zijin, "Zijin, you are of noble birth. Don't let some people affect your noble status."

Hearing this, Ye Zijin's face became slightly more serene. She looked at the young man in front of her and said, "An Hu, Shaofu is my savior. You should be more careful with your words."

"Is that so? Did this fool really save you?" An Hu's eyes glanced at Du Shaofu, feeling embarrassed. He hadn't expected Ye Zijin to speak up for Du Shaofu and be so cold to him. His gaze toward Du Shaofu became even more sinister.

"Whether I saved someone or am a fool, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you didn't check the almanac before leaving today."

Just as An Hu's mocking and ridiculing voice faded, Du Shaofu's clear gaze fell on An Hu, his calm words causing a sense of unease.

"Du Shaofu, what do you mean by that?"

An Hu's face turned cold, and he laughed loudly at Du Shaofu, "Ha ha, you need to check the almanac before leaving? You really are a fool."

"Because if you had checked the almanac, you wouldn't have left today. Today is inauspicious for you, and you will face bloodshed."

Du Shaofu looked at An Hu, his expression still calm.

"Boy, are you cursing me!" An Hu's face darkened, realizing that Du Shaofu was cursing him.

"I'm not cursing you; you will indeed face bloodshed today."

As he spoke, Du Shaofu's strong face showed a fierce look, and an invisible aura spread from his eyes, making the surrounding space seem to freeze.

"Bang!"

A low sound of air bursting echoed, and Du Shaofu's punch broke through the air, instantly appearing in front of An Hu.

"Daring to attack me, you are asking for death!"

An Hu's face changed dramatically, and a cold smile appeared. He was also an outstanding young man of the An family, having recently reached the initial stage of the innate realm. A glow of light and mist enveloped his body, swirling like a vortex. Without dodging, he suddenly spun to the side, his feet flashing three times, and avoided Du Shaofu's punch with lightning speed.

"Beautiful 'Three Steps Spin'! I didn't expect An Hu to have mastered the An family's 'Three Steps Spin' so well. He truly is an outstanding young man of the An family."

"An Hu has already reached the innate realm. There are few rivals among the young generation!"

As Du Shaofu and An Hu clashed, one being the famous fool of the Du family and the other an outstanding young man of the An family, all the onlookers watched intently.

Just as An Hu avoided the punch, a cold smile appeared on his face. He thought, "Just a fool, even if he isn't foolish now, how strong could he be? I have reached the innate realm, and few in the young generation can match me."

"Storm Fist!"

An Hu roared, his fist clenching and his elbow bending. Mystic energy rapidly gathered on his fist, which then struck Du Shaofu's chest with great force. The mystic energy on his fist created a strong wind, and an invisible force swept through the air, creating a small storm of dust on the street.

"Rip!"

To everyone's surprise, An Hu's Storm Fist, which seemed to hit Du Shaofu, suddenly deviated slightly, barely missing him.

"Bang!"

A low sound of air bursting echoed, and before anyone could react, An Hu was sent flying, landing heavily on the street several meters away, causing the ground to tremble.

It was swift, clean, and extremely powerful!

"Spit!"

An Hu spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to stand up but failing several times. He looked up at Du Shaofu, his face filled with shock and fear.

"I told you, you would face bloodshed today. I didn't lie to you."

Du Shaofu said to An Hu, then turned to Ye Zijin, "Miss Ye, I think you won't be in the mood to shop today. I'll take my leave."

With that, Du Shaofu left.

Ye Zijin watched his tall and upright back, her eyes flickering, but she didn't say anything more.

As Du Shaofu walked away, the onlookers on the street were still in a daze, but everyone knew that the rumored foolish young master of the Du family was definitely not a fool. On the contrary, among the young generation in Shicheng, few could match him.

"Brother Hu, are you okay?"

A few young men came to their senses and hurriedly helped An Hu up.

An Hu's face was pale and embarrassed. He had thought a rumored fool would be no match for him at the innate realm, but he had been defeated so miserably.

"Du Shaofu, I will settle this score with you, with interest."

Looking at the receding figure, the fear in An Hu's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a look of intense hatred.

「There will be more updates later. Xiaoyu is still writing.」
