Bab 36: If Apologizing Worked

Editor: Sparrow Translations

Following Tu Gang's swift action, the beer bottle cut through the air in a sharp arc, creating a 'whoosh' sound and smashing towards Lingyun head.

"Ah!" Ning Lingyu exclaimed, witnessing the incoming impact on her brother's head. She turned anxious and panicked. Trying to break free from Cao Shanshan, she wanted to dash towards her brother.

Ling Yun can dodge that. Cao Shanshan thought, grabbing Ning Lingyu. Even Cao Shanshan was worried, as her beautiful face turned a little pale. Recalling Ling Yun's punch on Gou Junfa, she had a feeling that Ling Yun could definitely dodge that.

Zhang Ling and Chai Hanlin shut their eyes in fear, not wanting to witness the unfolding tragedy.

Ling Yun remained rooted, staring straight into Tu Gang's eyes, seemingly forgetting to dodge the attack.

"Shit! Ling Yun, are you insane? Quickly back off!" Tang Meng shouted anxiously, as Ling Yun still stood there.

When the bottle came near his head, Ling Yun evoked a mysterious smile. Although his head, shoulders and abdomen moved in three separate instances, it seemed like one quick movement.

The beer bottle came down close to Ling Yun's ear, shoulders and lower abdomen. Going all the way down, it was a whisker away from Ling Yun.

Ling Yun looked straight into Tu Gang's eyes and smiled. He waited for Tu Gang's arm and body to lean forward after the powerful strike before making his move.

Since Ling Yun's arm had remained in its natural position, when the bottle reached past his left hip, he gently stretched out his left hand, gripping the bottle firmly.

Going up to Tu Gang's hand, he squeezed a nerve on Tu Gang's right hand, causing Tu Gang to feel a sharp pain. With a swift movement, Ling Yun snatched over the beer bottle.

The rest of the people were confused. From their point of view, it was as if Tu Gang bowed down to pass the empty bottle to Ling Yun.

"He…" Unlike the rest, Cao Shanshan was not confused.

Just as Tu Gang's beer bottle had gone near Ling Yun's head, Cao Shanshan's face had turned pale, as she thought that Ling Yun's head would definitely get split open by the blow. In an act of worry, she had subconsciously taken three steps forward.

Yet, what Ling Yun did left Cao Shanshan speechless!

Ling Yun only moved his head when the bottle came near, followed by his shoulder as the bottle swept past him. Moving his body parts one by one, the strike soon lost its strength and momentum.

In order to do this, one needed to remain calm, have absolute confidence in himself and have nothing short of tons of courage. How had Ling Yun managed to pull this off?

If it was an ordinary man witnessing a bottle swinging towards his head, he would've used his arms to block or grab the bottle using his hands. He might also have jumped away in panic or retreated backward. Yet, Ling Yun was able to dodge the attack with one simple movement, without moving a single step.

The best part was Ling Yun's amazing judgment. Not only had Ling Yun waited for Tu Gang to miss his strike, but he also timed his strike exactly when the bottle lost its strength and momentum. Ling Yun first waited for Tu Gang to fully extend his arm and just as the bottle could no longer go down any further, Ling Yun snatched the bottle over in one swift motion.

Although it seemed easy, the difficulty of this skill was tremendous, to say the least.

Can I really beat him? Cao Shanshan thought to herself, as her confidence took a hit for the first time.

In description, that scene might have seemed very long. In fact, it couldn't be further from the truth. It all happened in lightning quick time, just within a couple of seconds.

Ling Yun held the bottle in his left hand. With lightning speed, he stretched out his right hand, grabbing Tu Gang by the neck from behind. As Tu Gang was unable to escape the hold, Ling Yun raised up his right hand and swung the beer bottle straight at Tu Gang's head.

"Ah…" Tu Gang grimaced. Not only was he unable to escape, he was also incapable of comprehending what Ling Yun had pulled off moments earlier. Furthermore, his neck was being held by Ling Yun.

With the tables now turned, there was a weird feeling emanating from the scene. As Tu Gang witnessed the descending bottle coming straight for his head, he thought of the helplessness of his failed strike on Ling Yun. He could only pity himself at that point.

At that moment, Tu Gang's center of gravity was on his right half of the body, looking as if Ling Yun was pressing his head and hitting him.

Extremely afraid, Tu Gang immediately raised his empty right hand to block the falling bottle.

*Pa!* the sound of a smashed bottle echoed.

*Ka cha!* the sound of broken bones followed!

Ling Yun had exerted about eighty percent of his strength. Since Tu Gang was a vicious guy, Ling Yun wanted to teach him a lesson.

Tu Gang had taken the strike with his arm. Even if his head wasn't bleeding, his arm was definitely badly injured since this was Ling Yun's strike with almost his full strength.

After having his arm smashed, Tu Gang shrieked in pain. Since his head drooped down naturally, it saved Ling Yun some effort. Still holding Tu Gang's neck, Ling Yun yanked down his right hand while thrusting his knee up simultaneously.

*Peng!* Ling Yun's knee came into contact with Tu Gang's face.

Tu Gang suffered another blow. This time, blood spurted out of his nose!

Ling Yun retracted his knee. Pressing his right hand down even further, Tu Gang was forced straight to the ground.

*Bam!* Tu Gang laid flat on the ground.

"Ah…" Out of instinct, Tu Gang subconsciously placed both his hands on the floor for support.

Forgetting about his injured wrist, he shrieked in pain.

Ling Yun gently shifted his body sideways and lifting his right leg, he stepped on Tu Gang's back. He acted as if nothing happened. His expression was extremely calm, with a smile hanging from his mouth and his gaze transparent and clear.

Crawling up, Zheng Feng and friends stared blankly at Ling Yun.

Even the six other guys that had come with Tu Gang were stunned.

Their leader, the almighty and invincible Tu Gang from Jiangnan School of Engineering, had been bashed up and stepped on in less than a minute. They were unable to comprehend what had just happened!

"Boss Tu Gang, today your birthday has been…" they muttered, not able to accept what happened.

As for Ling Yun's group of friends, they were indescribably shocked to the core.

Although they didn't clearly see what went on, the look on their faces shifted from fear to daze, then to shock. They had witnessed something that they didn't think could have possibly happened.

"You're too stubborn…" was what Tang Meng had been about to say, as he had been prepared to raise his hand to help block Ling Yun from the beer bottle earlier. However, he couldn't believe that Ling Yun now had Tu Gang under his feet!

"Who's next?" Ling Yun exclaimed, smiling amiably and staring at the other nine guys, while he trampled on the grimacing Tu Gang like a dead dog.

In Zhang Ling, Chai Hanlin and the rest's eyes, Ling Yun holding the beer bottle in his left hand and stepping on Tu Gang with his right foot was a sign of might and strength. It was as if he had an aura of invincibility.

He looked like a god who had landed on Earth!

"Ling Yun is so cool!" Zhang Ling exclaimed while she opened her tightly closed eyes. Feeling Ling Yun's overbearing aura, both her eyes turned into heart-shapes and her face turned into a big red apple as she clapped excitedly.

"Brother…" Ning Lingyu muttered, biting her lower lips gently. As she stared at Ling Yun's unflinching and calm attitude, she became overwhelmed with a wave of pride and adoration that could not be put into words.

Who's next? Tu Gang alone could single-handedly defeat four to five guys by himself. Yet, he had been being trampled on by Ling Yun. Who would dare to come up?

Knowing that the rest were too afraid to confront him, Ling Yun turned around to face Ning Lingyu, smiling and ushering them to come forward. Zhang Ling could not wait any longer as she dashed the fastest, quickly arriving in front of Ling Yun. She looked up at Ling Yun with adoration, gently touching his arm.

Crazy girl! Cao Shanshan thought to herself as she walked over slowly. Glancing at Zhang Ling and then at Ling Yun's eyes, she felt a complicated and indescribable feeling.

"Tang Meng, go pick up the three pieces of trash and make them apologize!" Ling Yun commanded.

"Of course!" Tang Meng replied.

Tang Meng proceeded to walk over. Learning from Ling Yun, Tang Meng held Zheng Feng's and Liu Xiaojun's necks, dragging them over as if they were chickens.

Zhang Dong also proceeded to drag Li Jing over proudly.

"I'm sorry, we were wrong… We should've known not to disturb these pretty ladies…"

This time, even when Ling Yun and Tang Meng didn't ask, Zheng Feng repeatedly apologized, bowing his head and bending his back, doing a begging motion.

*Pa! Pa!* Tang Meng gave Zheng Feng two tight slaps on the face, causing him to feel a little disorientated. Tang Meng shouted arrogantly, "Why are you apologizing to me? Apologise to the three girls instead!"

"Yes yes yes…" Zheng Feng said, hurrying towards the three girls, apologizing repeatedly.

"Enough, get the hell out my sight, now!" Ling Yun exclaimed, not caring if they really meant the apology.

Zheng Feng and his friends immediately scurried away and retreated back to the opposite side.

At this moment, one of the guys stepped out of the pack. This guy wore a pair of spectacles, seemed polite and cultured and had an air of gracefulness about him.

He looked at Ling Yun awkwardly and said, "My fellow student, you guys have finished fighting and we have also apologized. Is it time…"

Ling Yun lifted his head to look at him, smiled lovingly and said, "Go ahead, speak…"

Ling Yun was still stepping on Tu Gang with no intention of letting him speak.

This elegant guy was first surprised, then, looking around him, he suddenly said, "I am the vice chairman of this class, say what you have to say."

Since Ling Yun felt Tu Gang struggling under his feet, he exerted more force, pushing Tu Gang back down. He smiled and replied, "Nothing much, let's talk about compensation!"

"Yet again…"

Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling uncontrollably looked at each other in the eye. The guys on the opposite side were however extremely confused.

Compensation? The vice chairman was momentarily shocked. What's happening today, encountering such a person… We were beaten up so badly, but you're still looking for compensation? He thought to himself.

"My fellow student, about that… We have already apologized…" the vice chairman replied, in shock at the audacious request.

Ling Yun smiled faintly, replying softly, "If apologizing worked, then why fight?"

Ling Yun's face changed suddenly. With eyes full of fury, he barked, "Firstly, you guys bullied my sister for nothing, spoiling our mood to eat. Then, you delayed us from going back to school. Do you know how much trouble you caused us?"

"If one of us is scarred by your intimidation and it causes us to not be able to do our finals properly, do you know much that will cost?"

Since this was the first time the vice chairman had seen Ling Yun's angry face, he was petrified. Forcing out a smile, he said, "We were wrong… How much compensation is needed?"

An ugly forced smile slowly appeared on his face.


Bab 37: What’s there to Discuss?

Editor: Sparrow Translations

As the vice chairman softened his stance, Ling Yun immediately put on a smile, since to him, everything could be discussed. Flashing a righteous look, Ling Yun said, "How about this, we'll let ourselves be taken advantage of just a little. All you need to do is foot the bill for our meal. After that, just give us one to two thousand dollars in order to compensate for the emotional trauma inflicted on the ladies. Look how traumatized they are!"

Hearing his demand, Tang Meng shivered in his heart.

Cao Shanshan and Zhang Ling glanced upwards at the sky and touched up their clothes, acting as if they didn't know Ling Yun.

"If that's okay, I'll let this slide. If not, I'll continue beating your guys up!" Ling Yun exclaimed arrogantly, waving the beer bottle.

Knowing that the vice chairman would give in, Ling Yun acted proudly, without even the slightest hint of remorse or hesitation.

Upon hearing Ling Yun's words, the group of guys was scared to death. Left with no other choice, the vice chairman replied, "Fine, fine… We'll compensate…"

This time, they really had no other option.

In Ling Yun's heart, he was beaming. Turning his head to face Zhang Dong, he said, "Bring them down to foot the bill."

Zhang Dong thought to himself, He played this well. Aside from having to hit those jerks, we got a free meal and some cash! Since it was them who had gotten a good deal, Zhang Dong remained silent, nodding his head to Ling Yun.

The rest of the guys who stayed tried coming up with the money. It didn't take long for them to come up with one thousand dollars. Agonizingly, the vice chairman handed the money over to Ling Yun, forcefully looking down at Tu Gang before looking straight up.

Ling Yun counted and slid the money into his pocket before nodding his head and releasing Tu Gang from his feet.

Squatting down with his fat body, Ling Yun patted the back of Tu Gang's head and said, "Kid, do not feel wronged, you can't afford to provoke some people. Consider yourself lucky today, understand?"

Tu Gang was overwhelmed with pain, shame, and anger. Forcefully, he nodded his head and stayed down.

What Ling Yun said was actually true. If the same thing had happened in Cultivation World, this bunch of guys would be lucky to even be alive.

After that, Ling Yun stood up. Touching his earlobe, he smiled at Cao Shanshan and the group and uttered, "My apologies to the ladies. I know that you guys aren't satisfied with the trivial amount I got for your emotional trauma. But I am magnanimous and have a good heart. After all, we must be kind to others, right?"

Cao Shanshan immediately rolled her eyes at him. Ning Lingyu blushed and looked elsewhere, while Zhang Ling secretly smiled happily.

"Alright, we are done eating and the bill has been paid. Let's head back to the room and take our things. We need to hurry back to school… We cannot be late for our lessons."

As Tu Gang's men stared speechlessly at them as if they were some weird creatures, Ling Yun led his friends back to the private room, swaggering on the way there. After taking their things, they left Savant's Restaurant.

As soon as they exited the restaurant, Zhang Ling walked beside Ling Yun, grabbing his arm with both her hands for no reason. She exclaimed, "Hey handsome, today's meal doesn't count!"

In Zhang Ling's heart, Ling Yun's status had been upgraded from a useless coward to a dashing, handsome guy. Within a day, so much had changed!

Upon hearing what Zhang Ling said, Ling Yun was stunned momentarily.

He opened his mouth and replied loudly, "What? Doesn't count? How shameless can you get? Look at you, trying to stand straight after eating so much… How does it not count?"

Zhang Ling grabbed Ling Yun's arm tightly with both her hands, subtly rubbing her bulging breasts on his arm, acting as if she didn't know. She looked up and rebutted, "Hey… Today's bill wasn't paid by you, how can it count as your treat?"

Ling Yun was unable to resist Zhang Ling, distracted by her amazing and voluptuous breasts, Ling Yun reluctantly replied, "Zhang Ling, that's not true… I could've requested more compensation and paid the bill myself. I'm just a little lazy, that's all…"

"I don't care… If I hadn't booked a room in this restaurant, you wouldn't have gotten a free meal and earned a thousand dollars. So you should thank me, right…?" Zhang Ling replied.

Since Ling Yun was so stubborn and shameless, Zhang Ling decided to be even more shameless. She held Ling Yun's arm tightly and shook her body, refusing to let go. This definitely affected Ling Yun a little.

Only seventeen years old, yet they're already so big…

Ling Yun was unable to resist and glanced at Cao Shanshan's chest, thinking to himself, "Those are definitely bigger."

Feeling Ling Yun's perverted gaze, Cao Shanshan shook her body slightly, and exclaimed, "Hmph!" with a slight hint of annoyance. She was either upset at Ling Yun's perverted glance, or at Zhang Ling and him being so close to each other.

"Ling Yun, I know you're running so much in order to lose weight, right? If you really slim down, I promise to become your girlfriend, okay? Wow… I feel so safe with him!" Zhang Ling mumbled crazily to herself.

Zhang Ling's words were overheard by the five others, causing them to have goosebumps.

"This Zhang Ling is a little too bold and too direct, isn't she…?"

Even Ling Yun was no longer able to stand her. He pulled out his arm from Zhang Ling's grip, coughed softly and said, "Regarding this… We'll talk about it next time…"

Ling Yun surrendered completely.

Flashing her eyes at Ling Yun, Zhang Ling asked, "So do you still owe me a treat?"

"Of course… Of course, I do…" Ling Yun, now sweating profusely, had no choice but to embarrassedly promise her in order to make her let go.

Ling Yun didn't have a choice since his sister Ning Lingyu was staring at him and trying hard not to laugh.

It didn't take long for them to reach the crowded street of Xuefu Road. Since the sun was starting to set and Chinese lanterns were hanging around, it was as if they were in a beautiful painting.

Ling Yun stopped in his tracks. Looking left and right, he glanced at his friends who were waiting to cross the road and said, "You guys can head back first. I have some things to do, I'll catch you guys later."

Everyone turned and displayed different looks, expressing their own thoughts.

Chai Hanlin hesitated and replied in a low voice, "Erm… Ling Yun, night revision will start in approximately 10 minutes…"

Tang Meng then moved over to Ling Yun's side. He realized that as long as he was together with Ling Yun, he would never find himself on the losing end.

What was skipping classes to Tang Meng? In fact, it was something that he is proud of!

However, Cao Shanshan's eyes were filled with disappointment and pity. She was so angry to the extent that she almost exploded with rage. Due to the large crowd, she contained her emotions to the best of her ability.

"Brother…" Knowing that Ling Yun was going to skip class, Ning Lingyun turned anxious. Pouting her lips and stomping her feet, she flashed a sad look, as if she was going to cry if he decided to skip class.

Zhang Dong tried to help and said, "Ling Yun, if you continue today's performance and study seriously for the next two months, getting into university is possible. We're study humanities, it's all just memory work!"

Noticing that his sentence made all his friends take his sister's side, Ling Yun had a moment of regret. He thought to himself, Why not head back to school first? I'll come out secretly to buy my things later…

Ling Yun scratched his head and said, "Lingyu, since we are going back home tomorrow, I wanted to buy some things for Mother…"

Since he was testing his sister's reaction, he made sure to speak carefully. As soon as Ning Lingyu heaved a sigh of relief, Ling Yun became less worried. He smiled and said, "Sister, I promise you, from next week onwards, I won't skip any more classes. Is that okay?"

Since Ning Lingyu heard that Ling Yun wanted to buy some things for Mother, her heart and stance softened.

She wanted to rely on her own abilities. As long as her brother was willing to work hard, even if it meant not studying for the next two months, she would tutor her brother so that he could enter university.

Since she was also unable to help her brother at that time, she decided to let him go. Although his brother reverted back to his old ways, compared to before, he actually became much better. What more could she ask from him?

"Then, you must promise me that you will come back to school directly after buying the items…" Ning Lingyu stated her condition.

"Don't worry, when I say I will get into university, it means I will! I always keep my promises to you!" Feeling Ning Lingyu's concern, his pride soared as he replied passionately.

I always keep my promises to you! Cao Shanshan repeated those words inside her heart. Her eyes lit up as she recalled, once upon a time, that Cao Tianlong had said those exact same words to her.

This guy is as shameful as Cao Tianlong…

Yet, for some reason, the tightly knitted heart of the rich, arrogant and gorgeous Cao Shanshan opened up ever so slightly.

Once the light turned green, five of them crossed the road and headed back to school. Ling Yun looked at Tang Meng and said, "Why are you still here?"

Tang Meng shook his long hair and replied proudly, "Fatty, I know the stores around the school really well. What are you looking for? I can bring you there! Of course, you know this place pretty well too… However, I can bargain for better prices for you!"

Afraid that Ling Yun wouldn't bring him along, the little tyrant started to promote himself non-stop.

"Fine, fine. I want to buy the sandbag that I carried this morning. Where can I buy it?" Ling Yun asked.

Since Tang Meng had managed to successfully promote himself, he exclaimed happily, "You still have to ask? Of course, it's from the sports equipment and sporting goods store! There's a big one in front, let me bring you there!"

After he finished talking, Tang Meng and Ling Yun hurriedly crossed the road and headed east.

In Ling Yun's heart, he tabulated the things that he needed to purchase. He decided that he should buy a mobile phone for Ning Lingyu first, followed by sports shoes and sportswear. Finally, he would get the sandbag and some miscellaneous sporting goods.

Upon hearing that Ling Yun was going to purchase a mobile phone for Ning Lingyu, Tang Meng naturally got excited. Without shopping at the sporting goods store, he dragged Ling Yun and headed the other way.

"Look at your excited face, don't tell me that you really like my sister…" Ling Yun questioned, staring intently at Tang Meng.

If Tang Meng said something wrong, Ling Yun would probably bash him up on the spot.

Tang Meng scratched his head and replied sheepishly, "Boss, even if I really want you to be brother-in-law, your sister must also be fond of me. However, is liking someone wrong?"

Ling Yun lifted his head to look at the sky and pondered for a moment, nodding his head and not saying a word.

Tang Meng was right, liking someone wasn't wrong.

"Since you like Lingyu so much, do you want to pay for it?"

Tang Meng almost stumbled when he heard Ling Yun. Recalling Ling Yun's vicious and shameless mouth when it came to money, he replied, "I wish… But what if Lingyu doesn't accept…?"

Ling Yun laughed and replied, "If we both keep our mouths quiet…"

Knowing that he had lost, Tang Meng raised both his hands, surrendering, and said, "I am not buying. If Lingyu finds out, she will be furious! I don't want to make her angry."

"Buy it for me then, I won't be angry…"

Tang Meng was speechless, "…"
