Chapter 5 Niu Hulu Yaoguang

Three days after the engagement banquet was the registration day.

It was unclear whether the Shi Family intended to put Shi Yaoguang in her place, or if they truly forgot they had such a daughter. In any case, they did not contact her.

Shi Yaoguang didn't mind. The butler had arranged everything for her.

She occupied the third floor of Quan Mansion, devoting herself to the cultivation of the Star Refining Body Technique without distractions.

Compared to the almost imperceptible spiritual power, the everlasting Starforce was more suitable for cultivation.

Quan Jinbei did not inquire about what she was doing but made sure she was served three meals a day on time.

After leaving Quan Jinbei a Spirit Gathering Talisman infused with Starforce to nourish his body, Shi Yaoguang went to the school to register with a light heart.

Ruihe High School.

This was Mingzhu City's top elite school, with a majority of the students coming from wealthy families. Only a few were admitted on the basis of their own merit. Shi Yaoguang was one who was pushed in after the Shi Family donated a building.

"Whoosh—"

A basketball wrapped in a strong wind headed straight for Shi Yaoguang's face.

The passing students couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her; if it hit her, at the very least it would cause a concussion.

Shi Yaoguang stopped in her tracks but showed no intention of dodging.

Everyone thought she was frozen in fear, but just as the basketball was about to hit her, she kicked out and sent the basketball flying away.

The basketball left a trail in the air and was followed by a scream.

"Fuck! That hurt like hell!"

The boy in the basketball jersey held his head and sat down on the ground with a thump.

His cronies were dumbfounded, not expecting their boss to be counterattacked and momentarily froze on the spot.

Enraged, the jersey-clad youth swore, "What the hell are you spacing out for? Take me to the infirmary!"

The cronies snapped out of their daze as if waking from a dream and carried him away.

The students who had seen the entire incident: "..."

Is this really the same timid and insecure eldest Miss of the Shi Family?

Wasn't that move just too cool?

Some had habitually recorded hoping to see Shi Yaoguang cowering and whining, but instead, someone else ended up being the unlucky one.

Unable to contain themselves, a student asked, "Are you, really Shi Yaoguang?"

Shi Yaoguang winked at her, "Nope~"

"Ah? Then, who are you?" The question was asked because the person not only resembled Shi Yaoguang but also had a completely different aura from the Shi Yaoguang they knew before. Could it be her sister?

While they were pondering, they heard Shi Yaoguang earnestly declare, "I am Niu Hulu·Yaoguang."

The female classmate: "..."

Bystanders: "..."

...

The incident of Shi Yaoguang kicking the basketball player who then claimed to be Niu Hulu·Yaoguang quickly spread throughout the school forum.

A group of students with a penchant for gossip directly surrounded Class 2-7 of the second year.

Looking at the hallway filled with students, Shi Yaoguang said earnestly, "Don't fall for me, there's no future in it."

This caused an uproar of laughter.

The Dean of Academic Affairs, with a stern face, stood at the end of the hallway and shouted, "Shi Yaoguang, come to my office."

When Shi Yaoguang arrived at the office, she saw the basketball jersey boy with his head wrapped like a mummy and Shi Yiqing standing by his side.

Shi Yaoguang had no intention of engaging with them and politely asked the director, "Teacher, did you want to see me for something?"

"Student Nie Feng got hit by a ball tossed by you. How do you explain that?"

After the director of academic affairs had finished speaking, Shi Yiqing interrupted with a retort. "Teacher, my sister probably didn't mean to bully Nie Feng. She might have hit him by accident. Please don't misunderstand."

As she spoke, she looked at Nie Feng with pleading eyes. "Nie Feng, my sister didn't do it on purpose. Could you let it go just this once, please?"

Nie Feng snorted, "She hit me. Why should it just be left at that?"

"Nie Feng, could you please consider it a favor for me and give her a chance? I'll ask my sister to apologize to you, okay?"

Nie Feng made a show of reluctance. "Fine, for your sake. As long as she apologizes to me, we'll call it even."

"Tsk." Shi Yaoguang made a dissonant sound, interrupting their self-congratulation.

Facing Nie Feng's unfriendly gaze, Shi Yaoguang curved her lips into a smirk. "Did I say I was going to apologize?"

Nie Feng got somewhat angry. "Don't be ungrateful!"

"I'm not blind. How could I be ungrateful? Bad is bad. No matter how you dress it up, it won't become something good."

Having said her piece to the director of academic affairs, Shi Yaoguang declared, "Teacher, I am reporting Nie Feng for attempted murder of a classmate!"

Upon this proclamation, a shock went through the crowd.

"What did you say?"

The director of academic affairs dug at his ear, suspecting he might have misheard.

"Nie Feng deliberately tried to hit my head with a basketball. If I hadn't dodged in time, I could very well have ended up in the ICU or even dead on the spot!"

As she spoke, Shi Yaoguang took out her phone. "A lot of students were there at the time; they can all vouch for me. There's even a video on the forum."

Nie Feng was nearly driven mad with irritation. Pointing to his mummified head, he demanded, "Who the hell is trying to murder you? Can't you see I'm the victim here?"

Shi Yaoguang rebutted with sound logic. "It was you who attempted to murder me. Just because I managed to avoid your attempt and you suffered the consequences yourself doesn't negate that the attempt to murder occurred! If you don't give me an explanation, I'll call the police."

Calling the police, again!

Shi Yiqing thought of the embarrassing incident when she and Quan Sicheng were taken to give statements and she was beside herself with anger.

And to make matters worse, Shi Yaoguang seemed to be on some sort of rampage, calling the police at the drop of a hat.

"Sister, it's not that big a deal. Can we not blow this out of proportion? Making a big scene out of it won't be good for anyone..."

Shi Yaoguang gave her a look. "So tell me, what's more important, my life or your public image?"

Shi Yiqing choked out a response, "How can you compare the two?"

"I was nearly killed by Nie Feng. I must seek justice for myself."

Shi Yaoguang paused for a moment. "I'll give you two options. Either you, Nie Feng, publicly apologize to me at the promotion ceremony, or I call the police and let them get justice for me."

Having laid out her terms, she was clear in her mind that calling the police was not an option. Not to mention whether the school would interfere, she herself didn't really want to waste police resources.

While she couldn't call the police, a public apology was certainly necessary.

Nie Feng dared to plot against her, how could she let him off without a taste of his own medicine?

He wanted to save face, right?

Then she would strike at his pride.

Just thinking of Nie Feng's resentful face as he apologized brought joy to Shi Yaoguang.

Unfortunately, her good mood couldn't last for long.

It was interrupted by a phone call.

"Yaoguang, something terrible has happened!"

A tense and anxious voice came from the other end of the call, "There's trouble in the live streaming room!"

"There's an issue with the products we sold. Someone claims that using our products caused their face to rot and become disfigured. A bunch of people are making a scene in our live stream, and now the streaming room has been blocked! The company won't handle this matter. They even said they would contact our school. If the school finds out about the mess you've caused, won't they ask you to withdraw?"
