Chapter 14 Displeased Farewell

Liu Jian, it was said that his family had a significant background.

He had only transferred to Wuyang Town Middle School this semester.

Instead of attending the reputable high school in the county city, he had come to this rural school in Wuyang Town, which ranked near the bottom in college admission rates. It was hard to understand what he was thinking.

Although he occupied a bed and was known as a boarding student, Liu Jian hardly ever slept in the dormitory.

When he spoke, Qian Bing didn't dare to disregard his face; this wasn't just boasting.

Qian Bing, the little tyrant whose father was the deputy mayor but ranked quite low.

With his background, he could only bully ordinary students with no connections. In front of Liu Jian, scolding him was like scolding a grandson.

Although they were technically roommates, Chen Hai wasn't close to Liu Jian.

They had only met a few times and barely exchanged a few words.

"Didn't Qian Bing go to the county hospital? How has he been discharged and returned so soon?"

Chen Hai nodded slightly, taken aback, "I'm aware of it. I'll be careful, Liu Jian, thank you."

He had anticipated that Qian Bing would come looking for trouble upon his return.

Nevertheless, he was genuinely grateful for Liu Jian's caution.

Given the rather distant relationship between the two men, Liu Jian's help was indeed all that could be expected of him.

After arranging his belongings in the dormitory, Chen Hai greeted Liu Jian and the others in the room, then turned and headed towards the classroom.

He was not going to their class 103 but to class 101, where Qian Bing studied.

The matter between Qian Bing and his group needed a resolution.

With only a little over two months left until the college entrance exam, Chen Hai's goal now was to study well...

No, rather to "Cultivate" properly and strive to get into a good university.

He simply didn't have the energy to play those childish games of hide and seek with Qian Bing and company.

Strength could bring confidence.

Chen Hai hadn't even realized that since he began his cultivation, such a short time had passed, and his temperament had inadvertently undergone fundamental changes.

If it had been the old him, hearing that Qian Bing was gunning for him, he would have definitely tried to hide and avoid meeting these people at all cost.

Now, however, upon learning from Liu Jian that Qian Bing and others had come looking for him in the dormitory, his first reaction was to confront them directly.

There were still about twenty minutes before the evening self-study session began.

Qian Bing wasn't in the classroom; he was in the hallway outside, joking and messing around with a female classmate from class 101.

"Qian Bing, come here, let's have a talk..."

Without bothering with pleasantries, Chen Hai cut right between Qian Bing and the female student and spoke up.

"Who the hell are you? Do I know you?"

Qian Bing's face darkened and his eyes glared; he was typically overbearing and now was no exception, certainly not in the mood to be courteous to Chen Hai.

"I'm Chen Hai from class 103. You don't even recognize me, yet you're planning to trouble me?"

Chen Hai's gaze was sharp as a knife, as he looked straight at Qian Bing and spoke.

"Are you the Chen Hai that Zhang Yong talks about?"

At that, Qian Bing snapped to realization.

He sized up Chen Hai: "You even dared to move in on my territory, and after Zhang Yong tried to advise you, you beat him up?"

"You think you're tough? How come I never noticed before that class 103 was hiding a tough guy like you?"

"I was only away from school for a few days, and what are you trying to do? Rebel?"

"At this time, you come to me voluntarily, scared? Ready to kowtow and admit your wrong?"

"Taking advantage of the teacher's absence, I won't say I didn't give you a chance, right here, kneel down now, shout three times that you were wrong..."

With an arrogant look, Qian Bing's words pierced the ear, becoming increasingly unpleasant the more he spoke.

The corridor outside the classroom connected their senior third-grade four classes.

At this moment, the people lingering in the corridor certainly weren't just the two of them.

When Qian Bing spoke, with his coarse and loud voice, he attracted the attention of everyone in the corridor in just an instant.

The female classmate who had been joking with him earlier had already backed far away.

But, within the same grade, several guys who hung out with Qian Bing, including Zhang Yong, had already quickly gathered towards them.

"Qian Bing, I don't want to stir up trouble; I just want to study properly!"

"I came here to see if there was still any room to ease the conflict between us."

"Now it looks like, I was overthinking it!"

"You do whatever, I'll handle it, but I'm warning you once and for all, it's best not to provoke me because you might not be able to withstand the consequences!"

Chen Hai had long been familiar with the notorious reputation of bullying king Qian Bing.

However, it was only now that he was dealing with him for the first time.

When he sought out Qian Bing, he had come in peace.

But now, seeing this guy's attitude, he suddenly felt that he might have been naive; it was impossible to reason with this guy.

"Consequences? What consequences could there be?"

"I'm telling you, Chen Hai, if you dare to step out of the school, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Qian Bing burst into loud laughter. Zhang Yong and the others who had just gathered also echoed his words right after.

"Disregard the old man's advice and suffer the consequences right before your eyes, I'll leave my words at that, but if you really want to block me, just bring it on!"

Chen Hai snorted and smirked.

He turned around, ready to leave, and go back to his own classroom.

"Chen Hai, Brother Bing hasn't spoken yet, who allowed you to leave?" Zhang Yong, sarcastically, blocked his path.

A few days ago, when Qian Bing was not around, this guy was like a mouse seeing a cat in front of Chen Hai.

He dared only to give Chen Hai a few resentful glances when Chen Hai wasn't paying attention.

But now, with Qian Bing back, Zhang Yong seemed to have found his backbone, and he dared to yell in front of Chen Hai.

"A good dog doesn't block the way, Zhang Yong, move aside quickly!"

With a fierce look, Chen Hai glared at him and rebuked softly.

It was unknown why, but Chen Hai, seemingly frail and weak, at this moment appeared like a fierce beast in Zhang Yong's eyes.

Zhang Yong, who initially planned to argue back, couldn't control his body and shivered continuously.

He actually stepped aside obediently, allowing Chen Hai to swagger past him.

Fighting in school could have a highly adverse impact, and in this respect, Qian Bing also had a sense of measure.

Chen Hai's sudden act, though extremely annoying to him, didn't immediately provoke any reaction from Qian Bing towards Chen Hai!

Watching Chen Hai leave, Qian Bing showed no other reaction.

He merely cast his gaze on Zhang Yong: "Almost twice the size of Chen Hai and yet, a single glare from him frightened you; Zhang Yong, has he beaten a psychological shadow into you?"

With a look of dissatisfaction, Qian Bing huffed and, with a grim face, turned and walked back into the classroom.
