Zu An cursed inwardly, this guy really has no sense of righteousness.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw the fatso from Man Yu describing the incident to a young man with added details. The young man, blocking the path ahead, looked at him with a dark expression: "So you're the one called Zu An?"
"I'm your father," Zu An replied.
Anger from Ye Chenliang +555!
Clearly, this young man with a dark expression was the big boss Ye Chenliang that Man Yu mentioned in the small forest.
"Very well, you've successfully provoked my anger," Ye Chenliang said, cracking his knuckles, which made a cracking sound. It had been a long time since anyone dared to speak to him like that, especially someone from the lowest Yellow Class.
Zu An shrugged: "Just talking big, huh? If you have the guts, bite me."
Anger from Ye Chenliang +666!
A glint of cold light flashed in Ye Chenliang's eyes as he was about to strike, but suddenly a teasing voice came from the side: "As a classmate, I kindly remind you that public fighting on campus will result in expulsion."
Zu An turned around and saw a boyish-looking man standing not far away with a smile, it was Xie Xiu, whom he had met at the school gate.
Ye Chenliang's breath caught in his throat. Although Xie Xiu was a good-for-nothing, he was the son of the city lord, and he couldn't afford to provoke the Xie family. He had to suppress his anger and coldly said to Zu An: "Fine, I want to duel you!"
Zu An rolled his eyes: "Just because you say so, I have to? How embarrassing! Refuse!"
Ye Chenliang couldn't help but get furious: "You don't even have the courage to accept a duel? What kind of man are you!"
Anger from Ye Chenliang +777
Xie Xiu spoke up again: "A duel must be agreed upon by both parties, no one can force it."
Zu An knew he was deliberately reminding him, but he had already been warned by the beautiful principal, so he wouldn't fall for it.
A flash of resentment appeared in Ye Chenliang's eyes as he coldly looked at Xie Xiu: "Xie Second Young Master, this has nothing to do with you."
Xie Xiu smiled slightly: "It has nothing to do with me, but as a senior, reminding a new student is fine, right?"
Ye Chenliang huffed, unable to do anything, he focused on Zu An: "Everyone says the Chu family's eldest daughter is blind to have married a wimp. I didn't believe that someone like Miss Chu would be so lacking in judgment, but seeing you today, you're just a wimp who only knows how to talk big."
By now, a crowd had gathered. Initially, everyone thought Ye Chenliang was just bullying a younger student, and because Zu An looked decent, they subconsciously sided with him.
But when they heard he was the wimp that the Chu family had married, their expressions changed. The men's eyes were filled with hostility and jealousy, and the women's eyes were filled with disdain, clearly they also looked down on a useless man, no matter how handsome he was.
Zu An saw the long list of anger points and thought his cheap wife was really popular. Just knowing his identity, these men had contributed thousands of anger points.
"So, what's the reason? You're also an admirer of Chuyan, no wonder you're so hostile," Zu An said with a smile, suddenly thinking of the Ten Beauties of the Red Face List that Wei Suo mentioned. If he could win them all, wouldn't all the men in the school continuously provide him with anger points?
"Shut up, you scum, you don't deserve to mention Miss Chu's name!" Ye Chenliang's breathing quickened. He was aware of his own limitations; although he was well-regarded in school, it was only because the true aristocratic young masters didn't bother with him. Compared to the geniuses in the Heavenly Class, he still fell short.
So, although he had admired Chu Chuyan for years, he knew he couldn't compete with the other aristocratic young masters and had given up. But a few days ago, he learned that his goddess had married a well-known wimp in the city, which made him insanely jealous.
Today, he learned from Man Yu that the guy who stole his spirit stones was that scoundrel, and he saw it as a great opportunity to humiliate him in front of the whole school, making Chu Chuyan realize that this wimp was not worth entrusting her life to, and that she should choose him instead.
Zu An sighed: "I'm her husband, and I don't deserve to mention her name, but you, an uninvolved person, do?"
Ye Chenliang took a deep breath, seeing the crowd's excitement, he gradually calmed down: "I won't argue with you. Miss Chu is the goddess in all our hearts. You don't even have the courage to duel, how can you deserve her? You should just leave."
"Last question, will you duel or not?"
The crowd also started shouting: "If you don't, leave the Chu family!"
"Such a wimp, how can he deserve Miss Chu!"
"What kind of man is he!"
"What kind of man is he!"
"What kind of man is he!"
...
At first, everyone was shouting their own things, but eventually, someone shouted, and the crowd's voices became unified.
Zu An was inwardly laughing. These classmates were so cute, even though they didn't know him, they kept contributing anger points. A quick glance showed he had gained a few thousand more.
"Nonsense, he's more of a man than all of you!"
Suddenly, a red figure ran over and stood in front of him.
Zu An was surprised; the girl was Chu Huaizhao, whom he didn't expect to come out and stand up for him. It seemed that the beating he took that night wasn't in vain.
The others also recognized Chu Huaizhao. She was a celebrity in the school, not only because she was Chu Chuyan's younger sister, but also because she was ranked ninth on the Red Face List and always carried the "Wailing Whip," making it hard not to know her.
Seeing her step in front of Zu An, Ye Chenliang couldn't help but frown: "How do you know if he's a man?"
Chu Huaizhao lifted her chin and replied matter-of-factly: "Of course I know, I've tested him myself."
The entire crowd was stunned. Wei Suo's eyes widened, and he quietly gave Zu An a thumbs up, thinking he would definitely follow this big brother and ask him to teach him how to charm women.
Even Xie Xiu, who was eating sunflower seeds and watching the show, choked on a seed and started coughing violently, his handsome face turning red.
All the men's eyes turned red:
"Beast!"
"Even a little girl isn't spared!"
"Even sisters!"
"Right, I remember my family mentioned that the Chu family's son-in-law climbed into the younger sister's bed on their wedding night."
"But Miss Chu Huaizhao doesn't seem angry."
"Damn, probably seduced her."
"I want such a blessing too."
...
Zu An almost burst out laughing. The anger points in the back-end skyrocketed, about to break ten thousand.
Unlike the men's anger and jealousy, the women in the crowd began to change their attitudes, their eyes wide open:
"If he can make both Miss Chu and Miss Chu Huaizhao fall for him, he must have something special."
"Maybe it's because he's handsome."
"But his behavior is still a bit of a scoundrel."
"But he's such a handsome scoundrel~"
...
Hearing the crowd's comments, Chu Huaizhao finally realized her words were ambiguous and quickly explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant that he endured seven strikes of the Wailing Whip without making a sound, so I said he's the bravest man I've ever seen."
After saying this, she turned back and glared at Zu An with a red face: "All your fault!"
Anger from Chu Huaizhao +33!
Zu An laughed even more.
Ye Chenliang, on the other hand, sneered: "Impossible, if you're covering for him, at least come up with a better reason. Everyone knows your Wailing Whip amplifies pain tenfold. How could he endure it?"
"Are you saying I'm lying?" Chu Huaizhao glared at him.
Ye Chenliang huffed: "Whether you're lying or not, you know best. Ask them, do they believe he could endure seven strikes of the Wailing Whip without making a sound?"
"No way!"
This time, both men and women in the crowd shouted in unison, even Wei Suo joined in. Clearly, many had suffered from the Wailing Whip, and even those who hadn't experienced it knew its power, so they didn't believe anyone could endure seven strikes without making a sound.
Chu Huaizhao was flustered: "I, the second daughter of the Chu family, have never lied in my life."
Zu An rolled his eyes. This little lady had a fiery temper, but her brain wasn't as good as her sister's. How useful is it to keep guaranteeing it to outsiders?
"Who knows if you're just covering for him? Unless..." Ye Chenliang's eyes darted around, "Unless you whip him a few times right now in front of everyone, so we can see for ourselves."
"Fine!" Chu Huaizhao said, reaching for the whip at her waist and walking towards Zu An.
Zu An was shocked. They say big boobs mean no brain, but this little girl was flat-chested, why was she also brainless?
After that night's life-and-death struggle with Pei Mianman, he realized how powerful the "Rich Woman's Joy Ball" was, almost giving him a second life.
He regretted using it to bet with Chu Huaizhao, and he wasn't about to do it again.
"Don't be impulsive," Zu An quickly held her hand.
"You made me lose face, let me whip you once to show them," Chu Huaizhao's chest heaved, clearly very agitated.
Zu An quickly said: "If you do it, you'll lose face too."
"That's true," Chu Huaizhao blinked, "What should we do?"
Zu An said: "Why bother with them? He can't force me to duel. Don't argue with fools."
"Who are you calling a fool?" Ye Chenliang's face turned black. Although the word didn't exist in this world, it was easy to understand.
"Whoever responds is the one being called a fool," Zu An shrugged, looking sympathetic.
Anger from Ye Chenliang +99!
"No wonder everyone says the younger sister is the sister-in-law's little cotton jacket. When I get married, I'll definitely marry a girl with a sister, though I wonder if their family is as generous as the Chu family, allowing sisters to share a husband." Ye Chenliang started to counterattack.
