Bab 8: Chapter 8: Teaching the Lackeys a Lesson
After the three of them returned to school, they went their separate ways. After all, the boys' and girls' dormitories were in different directions. However, not far from him, three people were blocking his path. The trio looked quite imposing, but their expressions were extremely annoying.
«Kid, I heard you've been getting close to Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu. Today, I'm here to warn you, they're out of your league. Stay away from them, or else…»
The leader of the trio, Bai Zichuan, stepped forward and said arrogantly.
«Or else what?»
Qin Chen asked with interest. It was his first time being threatened by someone over such a petty jealousy issue, and he found it rather amusing.
«Or else, if you anger Young Master Bai Cangfeng of the Bai family, you won't have a place at the Shanghai Experimental High School!»
Seeing Qin Chen's fearless attitude, Bai Zichuan immediately played his trump card. The Bai family's Bai Cangfeng was his backer. Bai Zichuan, as his lackey, often acted under Bai Cangfeng's name. This method always worked on those without any background.
«Which Bai family are you talking about? The one that sells cabbages? And who is Bai Cangfeng? Bai Onion? I've never heard of him,» Qin Chen said with a mocking smile.
«Kid, how dare you insult our Bai family! Beat him up!»
Upon hearing Qin Chen's words, Bai Zichuan knew he was being provoked. As a loyal lackey of the Bai family, he had never been so humiliated before, and he decided to resort to violence.
The three were clearly students from Shanghai Experimental High School, who had just awakened their magic powers but were not yet able to cast spells. They relied on their fists in a fight.
As the three rushed towards him, Qin Chen still wore a relaxed smile. With his left hand, he grabbed one of the attackers' fists and threw him aside; he dodged another punch, then struck Bai Zichuan in the chest with his right fist and kicked the last one away.
In an easy one-on-three fight, Qin Chen had them all on the ground. Over the past five months, he had been pushing his physical limits and training hard, which had significantly increased his strength and speed, doubling his previous capabilities. This remarkable improvement was thanks to his plant magic's life absorption talent, which allowed his body to recover quickly from injuries by absorbing life force from plants. This cycle of injury and recovery made him stronger rapidly, making it easy to take down three sixteen-year-old high school students.
«Go back and tell that Bai Onion of yours that if he wants to cause me trouble, he should come himself. You lackeys shouldn't embarrass yourselves. You should be grateful this happened at school; otherwise, I would've broken your legs. Now get lost, good dogs don't block the way.»
With a glance at Bai Zichuan and his lackeys, Qin Chen continued walking towards his dormitory. There was an hour for lunch and an hour for rest; it had only been less than an hour, so he had time to check out his dorm room.
«Hey, Qin Chen, why are you back alone? Didn't I see you leaving with Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu?»
Before he could reach his dormitory, Zhao Manyan approached him, greeting him with a familiar tone.
«Uh, we finished lunch, so naturally we headed back to our dorms. The girls' dorm is in the other direction,» Qin Chen replied, not wanting to give the impression that he had been ditched by the girls.
«I see. Well, I advise you not to stay in the dorms. Those six-person rooms with bunk beds and roommates who might not be great—it's no place for peace and quiet. If you want a better environment for meditation, you should rent a place near the school. Get a place of your own… uh, to protect yourself and improve your meditation efficiency,» Zhao Manyan suggested, almost revealing his true intentions.
«You've got a point. Renting a place outside might indeed be better.»
Qin Chen agreed, as he wasn't used to sharing a room with others.
«Right? So, how's your relationship with Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu? Do you have their contact details?» Zhao Manyan asked, putting an arm around Qin Chen's shoulder.
«What do you want with them?»
Qin Chen became wary immediately. This guy's intentions seemed dubious.
«Bro, no need to be so tense. Relax. You see, you should learn to share. You can't monopolize Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, right? Let me help you out so you don't get overwhelmed.»
Seeing Zhao Manyan's familiar routine, Qin Chen realized he was well-practiced in this.
«Zhao Manyan, you might be disappointed. I don't have their contact details. Besides, if you have the skills, why not go after them yourself? Why rely on me?»
Although Qin Chen wasn't as experienced as Zhao Manyan, he wasn't naive.
«This isn't about charity; it's about brothers helping each other. In times of need, we share wealth and women,» Zhao Manyan declared righteously.
«In that case, I'm a bit short on cash. How about this: Mu Nujiao's contact for fifty million, and Ai Tutu's for forty million,» Qin Chen stated directly.
«Cough, cough, are you robbing me?» Zhao Manyan was shocked by the amount.
«Robbery takes longer. This is extortion,» Qin Chen said without batting an eye.
«You…»
Zhao Manyan was at a loss for words.
«By the way, why are family heirs like you even attending high school? Wouldn't it be better to train at home?» Qin Chen changed the topic.
«I didn't want to stay at home and wanted to experience school life and enjoy the view of schoolgirls. As for the others, they're just here to hang out. They won't be in school long; they show up at the end of the semester or just for the exams to get their diplomas,» Zhao Manyan explained casually, his eyes drifting towards the girls' dormitory.
«I see. Do you know any good places to rent near the school?» Qin Chen asked.
«Turn left after you leave the school gate, walk three hundred meters, and you'll find a quiet garden community. The houses there are peaceful and soundproof, perfect for moving in with a girlfriend,» Zhao Manyan answered without hesitation, clearly well-versed in such matters.
«Thanks.» Qin Chen began to leave.
«Hey, wait! You haven't given me Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu's contact details yet,» Zhao Manyan hurried to follow him. After all this talk, he hadn't gained anything useful.
«Money first, then the goods.»
«Damn it!»
