Chapter 18: Apologize to Her!

Fang Yu went home and brought a bottle of homemade medicinal oil. He applied it to the swollen area on Yu Yueyue's face.Two minutes later, the red and swollen handprint completely disappeared."Let's go home, your mom is very worried about you." Fang Yu said."Yeah, thank you, Fang Yu." Yu Yueyue touched her now painless cheek and finally smiled.Fang Yu patted Yu Yueyue's head and said, "Tomorrow, I will make that senior student apologize to you.""Huh?" Yu Yueyue looked up at Fang Yu."She slapped you, so of course she should apologize." Fang Yu said."But..." Yu Yueyue hesitated, she didn't want Fang Yu to get into trouble because of her."There are no 'buts.' " Fang Yu said lightly....Back in the yard, Yu Yueyue managed to come up with an excuse about going shopping with her classmates, but she still got scolded by Wang Yan.Fang Yu went back to the second floor and started thinking about the Beast Cores.He asked Ji Dongshan to help him search for Beast Cores across the whole Huaxia. No matter the quantity or the price, he would buy them all.But Fang Yu knew that relying on just the Ji family had its limitations. Even if they could find Beast Cores, the quantity wouldn't be enough to satisfy his needs.So, he needed to find more people to help him.At the moment, he could turn to the Tang family...In the past, Fang Yu had considered asking secular families to help collect Beast Cores, but back then, he easily found high-level Beasts and didn't care about low-level Beast Cores. So he had discarded that idea.But in the past hundred years, due to the decline of spiritual energy, Beasts had been dying out on a large scale. Not to mention high-level Beasts, Fang Yu couldn't even find many low-level Beasts.One had to accept reality. If they were low-level, then they were low-level. Swallowing a few more would have a similar effect to swallowing high-level Beast Cores."That kid has a big family now, I can ask him for help." While contemplating, Fang Yu suddenly thought of someone.Fang Yu took out his phone and dialed a landline number."Hello." On the other end was an old voice."Xiao Qin." Fang Yu said.The old man on the other end fell silent for a moment before saying, "You finally called me."Fang Yu smiled and said, "You know, I'm not good at socializing.""So you must have something to ask me if you're calling." The old man said."I want you to help me collect Beast Cores, as many as you can find." Fang Yu said."Beast Cores? I have many of them at home." The old man said.Fang Yu felt delighted and said, "Give them all to me. Also, continue to help me collect them.""I will have my granddaughter deliver them to you. I was actually planning to send her to Jiangnan for study and research." The old man said."If possible, take care of her." The old man paused and said."No problem. Which granddaughter is it? I remember attending a wedding when one of your granddaughters turned one." Fang Yu said."It's that granddaughter. She's twenty-five now. We haven't seen each other in twenty-four years." The old man said with emotion."If you want to meet, you can come see me anytime." Fang Yu said."I'm already over eighty and can't move around. If we want to meet, you'll have to come see me." The old man coughed a few times and said."That works. Before you pass away, I will definitely see you again." Fang Yu smiled."Yes, I'm really looking forward to seeing you again." After saying that, the old man hung up the phone.After making the call, Fang Yu walked to the window and looked at the night sky outside, his eyes deep.In a study room of a large mansion in Jingcheng, a white-haired old man also hung up his phone."Twenty-four years..." The old man murmured to himself.Then, he picked up the phone again and dialed another number."Ask Yi Mo to come to the study."...In the morning, Fang Yu arrived at the classroom.Tang Xiaorou came early today, and as soon as Fang Yu sat down, she excitedly said, "Fang Yu, I brought the herbs you gave me home yesterday, and my dad was very happy. He said he must thank you and invited you to dinner at our house tonight. Are you... free?"Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu cautiously."Sure, I love free meals." Fang Yu said.He had planned to go to the Tang family anyway and ask Tang Mingde to help him collect Beast Cores, so this worked out perfectly.Seeing Fang Yu agree, Tang Xiaorou was very happy and smiled brightly.As for Fang Yu, he was looking at the seats in the front row.Jiang Yue still hadn't arrived.Three minutes later, Jiang Yue and her deskmate Xu Xiaona walked into the classroom, chatting and laughing.Fang Yu immediately stood up and walked up to them.Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu with confusion."Jiang Yue, let's go to the corridor. I have something to say to you." Fang Yu said.Jiang Yue looked at Fang Yu with a change in expression, then turned to Xu Xiaona and said, "What bad luck. I ran into this toad early in the morning."Fang Yu had no expression on his face and said, "Let's go to the corridor."Jiang Yue, seeing Fang Yu's commanding demeanor, couldn't hold back her anger and said sharply, "You want me to go out? What do you want to say to me? Do you think I owe you an explanation?"Her voice was piercing, immediately attracting the attention of the students in the class.Tang Xiaorou looked confused, not understanding why Fang Yu suddenly went to bother Jiang Yue."In this case, let's say it here." Fang Yu smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said, "During yesterday's rehearsal, did you slap a girl in the first year?"Jiang Yue's face changed, and she said with a sharp voice, "What's it to you? Just because you're a lazy freeloader doesn't mean you can stick your nose into other people's business!""Was it you?" Fang Yu asked."What's it to you!?" Jiang Yue straightened her chest, her face showing a challenging expression.She knew that Fang Yu had some physical strength, after all, He Donglin and Hu Tao were still lying in the hospital. But she was confident that with so many people watching, being a girl, Fang Yu wouldn't dare to touch her.But if Fang Yu really dared to make a move, she would make sure he regretted it. She would use this incident to get him expelled, even Tang Xiaorou wouldn't be able to protect him!Jiang Yue was fierce, glaring at Fang Yu and walking towards him."You dare hit me? Ah? There are so many people watching, why don't you make your move now...""Slap!"A crisp slap echoed in the classroom.Jiang Yue stumbled back, almost falling to the ground.Fang Yu didn't use much force for this slap. He didn't want to knock Jiang Yue out. After all, he still needed her to apologize to Yu Yueyue later."Are you daring to hit me!?" Jiang Yue covered her cheek, staring at Fang Yu with resentment."Everyone should have heard it. She asked me to do it." Fang Yu looked around at the silent crowd and said.No one dared to speak.Tang Xiaorou, who was by the side, felt a chill in her heart. She found Fang Yu's current appearance a bit frightening."Why hasn't Xiao Na brought the homeroom teacher yet!""Hurry up." Fang Yu urged."What do you want?" Several girls changed their expressions and asked."I told you to step aside." Fang Yu said coldly.The girls' faces changed, and they quickly scattered.This person was a lunatic, and they didn't want to end up like Jiang Yue with a slap."Come with me downstairs." Fang Yu said.Jiang Yue pressed her scalp, looked at Fang Yu, and trembled with anger.But she didn't want to suffer any more hardships. At least until the homeroom teacher came, she had to do what Fang Yu asked."What's taking Xiao Na so long to bring the homeroom teacher!""Quickly." Fang Yu urged."I'm sorry." Jiang Yue gritted her teeth and forced out the words."It's okay, let's go back." Fang Yu said.Jiang Yue touched her scalp and looked at Fang Yu with resentment.But she didn't want to suffer again. At least until the homeroom teacher came, she had to follow Fang Yu's instructions."Sorry." Jiang Yue spoke again, this time in a slightly softer tone."Everything's fine now, Fang Yu brother, you can go back." Yu Yueyue said timidly."No, it's not sincere enough." Fang Yu said.Jiang Yue was full of resentment, but she didn't want to endure any more hardships.When the homeroom teacher came, Fang Yu would have to pay the price. For now, she just needed to endure."Sorry." Jiang Yue said again, this time with a slightly softer tone."Still not sincere enough, bow to her." Fang Yu said."You!" Jiang Yue glared at Fang Yu, shaking with anger.But thinking about the pain she had just experienced, she held back.Before the homeroom teacher came, Fang Yu would have to pay the price. But for now, she just needed to endure."Alright, I apologize." Jiang Yue gritted her teeth and gave Yu Yueyue a bow and said, "I'm sorry."
