Chapter 9

Yuecheng, Dongjiao District, Xinghe Community.

Yunchao was pacing back and forth near the entrance of the community.

He had already received the good news that Yunfan had successfully won the title of 'Yuecheng Outstanding Youth.' Knowing that Yunfan was on his way home, he couldn't help but come to the entrance to wait.

Yunchao was forty-seven years old, tall and large, with many wrinkles on his face, making him look like he was in his fifties.

Raising Yunfan and Yunxuan, and sending Yunfan to the mech high school, had been a tough life for Yunchao, who had endured a lot of hardships.

His life had already taken its toll, and all his hopes were pinned on his son, Yunfan. When the school informed him that Yunfan had left the city privately and had been killed by a gene monster, he was severely shaken, and it seemed as if he had aged ten years overnight.

Now, Yunfan had returned safely and had even won the title of 'Yuecheng Outstanding Youth.' Yunchao was once again full of spirit, and the signs of depression were gone from his face.

A magnetic levitation taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, and Yunchao's eyes lit up as he went to meet it.

A man and a woman got out of the magnetic levitation taxi. The man was about seventeen or eighteen, and the woman was around forty. Yunchao recognized them as a mother and son. The man was called Fan Tong, who had also been admitted to the mech high school and was in the same class as Yunfan.

In Xinghe Community, only Yunfan and Fan Tong had been admitted to the mech high school. However, due to their personalities, their relationship was not good.

Because of his parents' teachings, Yunfan had always been principled and would never bow down to others. At the mech high school, he had never submitted to any of the noble students.

Fan Tong, on the other hand, would do anything to befriend the noble students, even kneeling and kowtowing without hesitation.

If Yunfan had ever knelt to a noble student, his father Yunchao would have beaten him to death. However, Fan Tong's parents strongly supported his behavior. With such different values, they naturally did not get along.

As soon as Yunchao saw Fan Tong and his mother, he turned and walked away.

"Hey... Isn't that Yunfan's dad?" Fan Tong's mother saw Yunchao as soon as she got out of the car. Her eyebrows raised, and she waved, looking smug.

Since others had called out to him, it would be impolite to walk away.

Yunchao stopped, turned around, and said, "It's Fan Tong and Fan Tong's mother. You look so happy today. Is there something good happening?"

Fan Tong's mother was in high spirits and said, "Today we visited Master Cui. Master Cui has agreed to let Xiao Tong be a companion student and attend university with him. Moreover, the Cui family will teach Xiao Tong a middle-grade martial technique. Ha ha..."

As she spoke, Fan Tong's mother laughed, unable to contain her joy.

Yunchao forced a smile. A companion student was essentially a servant, and to put it bluntly, a household slave!

Of course, different people had different focuses. Yunchao was concerned about the servile nature of the companion student role, while Fan Tong's mother was excited about the middle-grade martial technique. Thus, the former was disgusted, and the latter was thrilled.

Fan Tong, a cunning person, could easily see through Yunchao's forced smile and said, "Uncle Yun, you've finally come out of the shadow of Yunfan's death. Indeed, the dead cannot come back to life, and life must go on."

He was poking at the sore spot. This guy was as meek as a dog in front of noble students but would always find a way to hurt others in front of ordinary people.

If Yunfan had really died, Fan Tong's words would have made Yunchao very sad.

However, since Yunfan was alive and well, Fan Tong's words had no effect on Yunchao.

Not only did Yunchao not get angry, but he even smiled slightly and said, "Xiaofan is not dead. He's back!"

"Not dead?"

Fan Tong was surprised and asked, "Where has he been for the past month?"

At that moment, another magnetic levitation taxi arrived at the entrance of Xinghe Community.

Yunchao, without waiting to answer Fan Tong, became excited and went to meet it.

This time, the person who got out of the magnetic levitation taxi was Yunfan.

"Dad—!" Looking at the wrinkles on his father Yunchao's face, Yunfan felt a pang in his heart.

Since starting at the mech high school, Yunfan had rarely come home. He remembered that three years ago, his father Yunchao had been young and strong. In just three years, he had aged so much.

Yunchao opened his arms and hugged Yunfan tightly, making it hard for Yunfan to breathe.

Yunfan did not struggle. Although the hug made it hard to breathe, it was warm and comforting.

Yunchao released Yunfan, his eyes full of excitement and joy, and patted Yunfan's shoulder. "It's good to have you back. Rest well at home for a while."

"Hey... Yunfan, you're not dead?"

A sarcastic voice came from the side. Fan Tong looked at Yunfan with a cold smile. "If you're not dead, where have you been for the past month? You finally made it to the mech high school after three years of hard work, and now you've been expelled. Tsk tsk... You even wanted to participate in the high school mech league. Ha ha... You can't even graduate, so these three years at the mech high school were a waste."

At school, Cui Yushi had always targeted Yunfan, and Fan Tong, as Cui Yushi's top lackey, had always been at the forefront.

Because of his obedience, Cui Yushi had already designated Fan Tong as a potential household slave and had him practice a middle-grade martial technique.

Fan Tong, from an ordinary background, had clearly not been lacking in talent. After practicing a middle-grade martial technique, his cultivation was also at the peak of the hidden strength stage, just like Yunfan's had been.

Fan Tong's mother said, "If he doesn't graduate, so be it. Yunfan has spent three years at the mech high school and has gained some knowledge. Other ordinary families' children don't have this privilege. With Yunfan's talent, he still has a chance to learn a middle-grade martial technique by joining a noble family."

Fan Tong continued to sneer, "Young Master Yunfan has never considered himself an ordinary person. He thinks he's a noble's son. How could he bow to other noble students?

Heh heh... Just look at Uncle Yun to see what his future will be like. Practicing the most basic low-grade martial technique, he can at most reach the transformation stage."

Yunfan glanced at Fan Tong indifferently and said, "Fan Tong, you don't need to worry about my future. No matter how bad it is, it's still better than yours."

Fan Tong, like a lit powder keg, shouted, "Dead Fan, who are you calling Fan Tong? Since I started practicing a middle-grade martial technique, I've always been able to crush you. Soon, I'll be practicing a middle-grade martial art.

In the future... I will reach the Gang stage, and the gap between you and me will only grow wider. What are you, a trash and a waste expelled from school, daring to act so arrogantly in front of me?"

Yunfan's face turned cold. Today, he had won the title of 'Yuecheng Outstanding Youth' and had returned home to see his parents, feeling very good. He had tolerated Fan Tong's cold remarks, but when Fan Tong insulted his father in front of Yunchao, he could not stand it!

Yunfan slapped Fan Tong across the face.

Slap—

Fan Tong, unable to dodge in time, was hit squarely. The sound was crisp.

The powerful force made Fan Tong's head turn to the side, and his body was thrown several steps away, falling to the ground.

Fan Tong's mother was furious and shouted, "You little brat, how dare you hit someone?"

Yunfan said, "He was talking nonsense. He deserved it."

Fan Tong's mother pointed at Yunchao and shouted, "Yunchao, look at your son. What kind of attitude is this? He dared to hit my son. Are you going to discipline him, or should I do it myself?"

Since the New Era, all people on Earth practiced martial arts. Even the most ordinary civilians practiced the most basic low-grade martial techniques, which could reach the transformation stage at their peak.

Fan Tong's mother was a transformation-stage ancient martial artist.

Yunchao's cultivation was slightly lower, only at the peak of the hidden strength stage, but he did not show any weakness in front of Fan Tong's mother. "Lack of discipline is the parents' fault. Li Yanchun, can't you see what kind of person your son is? A slap is already lenient."

Fan Tong's mother, 'Li Yanchun,' had wanted to see Yunchao discipline his own son, which would have been a satisfying spectacle. However, she was surprised that Yunchao not only did not blame Yunfan but also criticized her.

Li Yanchun said angrily, "You and your son are really lawless. Although I am a woman, I am also a transformation-stage expert. Yunchao, if you don't discipline your son, I will do it myself. Which hand did he use to slap my son? I will break that hand!"

"Mom, let me do it! I want to deal with him myself!"

Fan Tong had already gotten up, his eyes red with anger.

Fan Tong had reached the peak of the hidden strength stage before Yunfan and had practiced a middle-grade martial technique, making him stronger than Yunfan.

Although he had been slapped to the ground by Yunfan just now, Fan Tong did not think he was weaker than Yunfan. He believed that Yunfan had caught him off guard.

Now that he was prepared, he did not take Yunfan seriously.

Li Yanchun nodded, stopping the idea of dealing with Yunfan herself. She knew her son's strength, which had always been better than Yunfan's. She thought it was better for Fan Tong to handle it. As an elder, if she acted, people might say she was bullying the young.
