"Wu Chiren, what are you trying to do?"
Yu Qingqing immediately protected Lu Chen, staring at Wu Chiren and said, "This is the inner academy, don’t think just because your realm is higher than ours you can do whatever you want!"
As a student of the Heavenly Book Academy, she naturally knew that Wu Chiren and Xu Qianqian were under the same teacher and was even more aware of Wu Chiren’s admiration for Xu Qianqian.
It seemed it was after last night when Xu Qianqian went back that Wu Chiren decided to come and vent her anger for her.
"Is someone like me that sort of person?"
Wu Chiren said pridefully, "The rules of the Heavenly Book Academy, I naturally will not break, you don’t need to worry, I won’t bully you by taking advantage of my higher realm!"
Yu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Then what are you looking for Lu Chen for? Yesterday, we didn’t do anything to Xu Qianqian!"
"Hmph," Wu Chiren slightly raised his head and said, "Qianqian told me, this little guy scared her, today, I am here to make this little guy apologize to Qianqian!"
"Apologize?"
Lu Chen and Yu Qingqing couldn’t help but exchange a glance, with a very odd expression on their faces.
Yu Qingqing said, "Did Xu Qianqian send you here?"
"I came on my own," Wu Chiren glanced at the two and said, "You scared Qianqian, shouldn’t you apologize?"
Lu Chen suddenly laughed and said, "Are you sick in the head, is it that Xu Qianqian stepped on dog shit and fell, and you’d go find a dog to apologize to Xu Qianqian?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chiren couldn’t help but fly into a rage!
"Boy, how do you speak? Qianqian is a fairy-like person, how dare you mention her name in the same breath as dog shit? Could it be because this is the inner gate, I can’t deal with you?"
Yu Qingqing’s expression immediately tightened, and she said, "Wu Chiren, if you want Lu Chen to apologize, let Xu Qianqian come and say it herself!"
Wu Chiren glared at Lu Chen fiercely and said, "Qianqian was scared by her to the point of being unsettled, even affecting her cultivation, how could she possibly come herself? Kid, be realistic, get a hood for yourself and go apologize to Qianqian! Otherwise, I am telling you, this matter is not over!"
Having said that, he leaned in with his head, and coldly said, "I have a hundred ways to make sure you cannot survive in the Heavenly Book Academy!"
A mere Martial Artist of the Marrow Refinement Realm, even on the academy’s fighting stage, he wasn’t afraid at all.
However, seeing the other party’s face getting so close, his mind couldn’t help but also think of Xu Qianqian.
Suddenly, he reached to rip off his eyepatch, revealing his dark and cold pupils once again.
"Ah!"
Wu Chiren was caught off guard, startled, his body retreating several steps!
It wasn’t that he was cowardly, but rather it was too close, and those eerie pupils were frightening enough to startle anyone.
On the side, Yu Qingqing, who had been worried for Lu Chen, seeing this reaction so similar to Xu Qianqian’s, couldn’t help but giggle incessantly.
"With that kind of courage, you still try to stand up for others? Save it!"
Lu Chen said disdainfully, then said, "Qingqing, let’s ignore him."
"Kid," Wu Chiren’s face darkened as he clenched his fists, "You will regret what happened today!"
Yu Qingqing naturally heard these words, she lowered her voice and whispered in Lu Chen’s ear, "Don’t worry, if he applies to the academy to challenge you, you can refuse on the grounds that you are new here."
Wu Chiren laughed furiously and said, "You can’t refuse, I just want you to apologize!"
In his rage, Wu Chiren still hadn’t thought too far ahead.
He knew if he initiated a fight to the death, he definitely would not be approved.
But if he proposed a sparring session and also limited his own strength to the Bone Refinement Realm.
In a same realm situation, and getting a teacher to handle the matter...
Everything would fall into place!
If he still refused then, Lu Chen’s reputation in the Heavenly Book Academy would be completely ruined!
A rising star, not just any martial artist admitted on the recruitment day, certainly had exceptional talents.
But if his reputation was destroyed, he would naturally be looked down upon by others!
That was what Wu Chiren had in mind!
Not apologize?
You will regret it!
...
"Lu Chen, don’t worry about this, I’ll go find the teacher later," Yu Qingqing said, seeing Lu Chen seeming distracted, thinking he was worried about the situation.
"It’s nothing," Lu Chen instead smiled and said, "You know my strength."
Yu Qingqing stared with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief, and said, "You want... to kill him?"
"I just want to cultivate in peace. Today some shameless person stands up for Qing Qing, tomorrow there might be others with faces. If people keep challenging me every day, should I even bother to cultivate anymore?"
Yu Qingqing still had her concerns, "But..."
"Also, if I don’t solve this problem once and for all, what if when I want to go to Tianyuan, they... decide to take action there?"
Yu Qingqing said, "So, you want to make an example out of him!"
Lu Chen didn’t say a word, only nodding his head.
Yu Qingqing was immediately silent; after a long while, she spoke softly, "Students may initiate a life-or-death challenge, but... it is said that Wu Chiren’s strength is almost at the Visceral Refinement Realm!"
Lu Chen smiled slightly, "So what?"
