Chapter 3

Just as Zhao Shuo was feeling uneasy under everyone's gaze, the teacher cleared his throat and gave Zhao Shuo a strange look, saying, "Alright, everyone, calm down. I think Zhao Shuo was just joking with everyone. Let's continue."

Exhaling a deep breath, Zhao Shuo gave the teacher a grateful look and sat down obediently. He decided to listen more and speak less, trying to understand this world as much as possible to avoid making more common mistakes, or he might really be seen as a fool.

Unfortunately, it was unlikely that Zhao Shuo would get more common knowledge about this world from the teacher, because as the teacher spoke many summarizing words, Zhao Shuo realized that after today, he would leave the school and officially become an adult.

Dazed, Zhao Shuo walked out of the school, and the fresh air that greeted him cleared his mind. Just as he was about to muster the energy to go home, a strong force came from behind, and Zhao Shuo felt himself falling forward.

With a thud, a sharp pain came, and Zhao Shuo fell to the ground, his knees burning. Turning around, when he saw who was standing there, a wave of anger rose in his heart.

Chen Tiangui looked at Zhao Shuo with a smug smile and said, "Zhao Clumsy, I never thought you were so good at hiding your true self. How could you become so foolish in just one day?"

The few people standing with Chen Tiangui couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Zhao Shuo's recent words.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo clenched his fists, lowered his head slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he soon slowly relaxed his fists.

Slowly standing up, he endured the pain in his knees and walked forward unsteadily, not responding to Chen Tiangui's provocation.

"Second Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Zhao Shuo's condition, Zhao Luan's eyes filled with pain. She ran to Zhao Shuo's side, supporting him and glaring fiercely at Chen Tiangui, who was looking at her with a serious expression. "Chen Tiangui, you're bullying Second Brother again!"

Although angry, the beautiful Zhao Luan looked even more charming, making Chen Tiangui swallow hard.

Chen Tiangui wished he could swallow Zhao Luan whole. He stepped forward, standing in front of Zhao Luan and Zhao Shuo, and inhaled deeply, saying, "Mm, you really smell good!"

Zhao Luan's face turned red with anger, and she took a step back instinctively.

In his previous life, as an orphan, Zhao Shuo had never felt much family affection. But in just the morning, he had felt what family meant from Zhao Luan and Chu Xiu.

Seeing Chen Tiangui tease Zhao Luan, Zhao Shuo endured the pain and stepped forward to shield her. He clenched his fists and punched Chen Tiangui's face hard, shouting, "You can bully me, but you can't bully my sister!"

"Ah!"

Unprepared, Chen Tiangui never expected the usually timid Zhao Shuo to suddenly lash out. He felt a burning pain on his face, and blood and tears flowed uncontrollably, his face a mess.

Seeing Chen Tiangui's pitiful state, Zhao Shuo felt a sense of satisfaction. Damn it, I'm not the coward I used to be. How dare you tease my sister! If I don't beat you up, I'm not Zhao Shuo.

The people standing with Chen Tiangui were stunned by the sudden change, and some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief. When they confirmed that Chen Tiangui was indeed bleeding from Zhao Shuo's punch, they involuntarily took a step back.

It was unbelievable that the usually weak Zhao Shuo would do this to Chen Tiangui.

Regaining his senses, Chen Tiangui wiped his face, his nose broken, tears streaming down. Despite the intense pain, when he saw Zhao Shuo, he felt a surge of anger, as if he had suffered a great humiliation. He shouted at Zhao Shuo, "You, Zhao Shuo, you actually dared to hit me! You're asking for death!"

Seeing Chen Tiangui's fierce expression, Zhao Luan was frightened and pulled Zhao Shuo, saying, "Second Brother, let's run!"

Unfortunately, Zhao Shuo and Zhao Luan were just ordinary teenagers and couldn't compare to Chen Tiangui, who had undergone the Star Map to open his spirit orifices.

Although Chen Tiangui was a bit of a waste, the strength of a cultivator was not something an ordinary person could resist.

When the punches landed, Zhao Shuo felt intense pain. Despite his resistance, his strength was far inferior to Chen Tiangui's. He could only protect his vital areas and lie on the ground, letting Chen Tiangui kick and beat him to vent his anger.

Zhao Luan, initially frightened, then charged at Chen Tiangui like an angry lion. Unfortunately, her strength was even less than Zhao Shuo's, and she couldn't help at all. If Chen Tiangui hadn't had designs on her, she would have been beaten into immobility in a few hits.

Feeling as if all his bones were broken, Zhao Shuo gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

It was dismissal time, and the commotion Zhao Shuo and Chen Tiangui caused immediately attracted a crowd.

Several young men and women in华丽的衣衫 (elegant clothing) frowned when they saw Chen Tiangui beating Zhao Shuo, but they were surprised by Zhao Shuo's resilience. They had heard that Zhao Shuo was timid by nature.

But seeing Chen Tiangui's bloodied face, if it weren't for his angry shouts, they wouldn't have believed that the blood on Chen Tiangui's face was from the usually timid Zhao Shuo.

"Enough, Chen Tiangui. Venting your anger is one thing, but remember, this is a school. And don't forget, you are a cultivator. Bullying an ordinary person like this, you may not care about your reputation, but we can't afford to lose face!"

A young man in elegant clothing said calmly. Although his voice was not loud, it was like a thunderclap to Chen Tiangui.

Looking at the young man with envy and respect, Chen Tiangui kicked Zhao Shuo hard and said, "Zhao Shuo, you're lucky today. For the sake of Lord Zhao Li, I'll spare your life for now."

Zhao Luan rushed to Zhao Shuo's side and helped him up. Due to her lack of strength, they almost fell again.

Through the blood on his face, Zhao Shuo gave Chen Tiangui a cold look, then scanned the group of elegantly dressed young men and women. He supported himself and left under their various gazes.

Leaving the school, Zhao Luan, seeing Zhao Shuo's bloodied face, said, "Second Brother, it's all my fault. If anything happens to you..."

Zhao Shuo trembled and said, "Silly girl, you're my sister, and I'm your brother. How could I just stand by and watch you be bullied?"

Hearing this, Zhao Luan's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't help but cry. Zhao Shuo forced a smile and said, "You're a big girl now. Don't cry, it's not good for your appearance."

Wiping the tears from her face, Zhao Luan said, "Second Brother, let's go see a doctor!"

When they came out of the clinic, Zhao Shuo's condition had improved significantly. They were relieved that he had protected his vital areas and only suffered some superficial injuries, which would heal with time.

When they got home, Chu Xiu almost fainted at the sight of her children. She helped Zhao Shuo to his room and looked at him with concern. "What happened? You were fine this morning, how did you end up like this?"
