Jinwan Airport.
A man wearing sunglasses stepped outside the plane. Around twenty-five, he was tall and muscular, with prominent veins on his arms, with clear bearings of soone who worked out regularly.
He looked around and, after leaving the arrivals area, noticed a few familiar faces.
"B-Brother!" The greeters were Huang Haotian and a few mbers of the Taekwondo Club. Seeing the man, their faces lit up with excitent.
Kim Jong-hee looked at them silently.
Huang Haotian, feeling guilty, could only force a smile under the gaze of their forr president.
"Huang Haotian, what in the world happened?!" Kim Jong-hee asked, his voice laced with anger.
"A dozen of you were defeated by one skinny guy! You've completely disgraced the Taekwondo Club!"
He had watched the video repeatedly, and seeing Ye Chuan single-handedly defeat the entire club filled him with a mixture of anger and disappointnt. How could they be so pathetic?
"Brother, it's not our fault! That guy was really weird, his body was incredibly tough, and he could even burn people!" Huang Haotian quickly explained, but his words sounded like a joke to Kim Jong-hee.
He sneered. "Oh, and did he also shout so kind of special move and kick you with flaming legs?" He was mocking the over-the-top nature of so martial arts movies and ani.
"W-well…" Huang Haotian stamred, unable to articulate the strange experience. But that was exactly how it felt.
When he kicked Ye Chuan, it felt like kicking a burning hot iron.
He hadn't felt like he was fighting, but rather deep-frying his own foot.
He hadn't even dared to go to school these past few days.
The video of the duel had gone viral on the forum, and thanks to its spread on short video platforms, even teachers and students who rarely used the internet knew about it.
The Taekwondo Club had beco a laughingstock.
Of course, the president of the Sanda Club was in a similar situation after all his boasts of disbelief.
Knocked out with a single punch, he hadn't even had ti to beg for rcy.
They were truly brothers in misfortune.
"I haven't even been gone for two years, and you've run the club into the ground." Kim Jong-hee really wanted to punch Huang Haotian, but he just tossed his bag at him.
"Take my luggage to the hotel and arrange for a al. I'm going to deal with that guy tomorrow."
"Right away, Brother, I'll arrange it imdiately," Huang Haotian said, then hesitated.
"Brother… I'm a bit short on cash, could you…"
Kim Jong-hee's eyes narrowed. He had rushed back from Korea, and now he had to pay for his own hotel?
Were the younger generation so disrespectful these days?
"Where's your money?!"
At the ntion of money, Huang Haotian's face darkened. Hadn't it all been lost to that Ye Chuan kid?
He quickly explained what happened.
"You're such a loser!" Kim Jong-hee thought Huang Haotian was an idiot. Not only had he been defeated, but he had also lost all his money.
And then borrowed from loan sharks!
And still lost!
Once you started borrowing from loan sharks, unless you paid it back in one go, it was a bottomless pit.
"You deal with your own ss. I want to see my hotel room tonight. You figure it out!" Kim Jong-hee glared at Huang Haotian. He was starting to regret leaving the Taekwondo Club in his hands.
"O-okay…" Huang Haotian could only nod with a wry smile. It seed he would have to beg and borrow again tonight.
He was already trapped in a cycle of debt, the interest piling up. He had no idea when he would be able to pay it all back.
Thinking of this, his hatred for Ye Chuan intensified. If it weren't for that guy, he wouldn't be in this miserable situation!
But thinking of Kim Jong-hee's strength, Huang Haotian couldn't help but grin.
Kim Jong-hee was the national runner-up in Taekwondo and even owned a martial arts gym in Korea. Dealing with a university student would be child's play.
…
anwhile, after leaving the cafeteria, Ye Chuan and Luo Xi strolled along a path in the woods.
They still had so ti before their afternoon classes.
Many couples ca here for a walk after lunch, so seeing Ye Chuan and Luo Xi walking arm in arm wasn't unusual.
Silver Mountain Academy didn't forbid relationships; the principal even publicly supported them as a part of youth.
Ye Chuan looked at the girl beside him, whose arm was tightly linked through his. He said, "Aren't you holding on a bit too tight?"
Luo Xi's mind was still a bit hazy. Hearing Ye Chuan, she misheard him and tightened her grip even more, her arm practically squeezing his.
"..." Whatever.
Ye Chuan had thought she was using padding, but after the incident with her nightgown and his backpack space, he realized she was genuinely strong.
Luo Xi's face was still flushed, and she seed a bit nervous. "ChuanChuan, what do couples usually do?"
"Have sex."
"Anything else?"
"Find different places to have sex."
Luo Xi was speechless. Her cheeks puffed up, and she pinched Ye Chuan's face. "No! You have to take on a date this weekend!"
"Sure," Ye Chuan readily agreed. It was just a date.
But he was also planning to take Bai QianShuang out this weekend.
She had no social life, and she wouldn't get along with Lan Xiaoke anyti soon, so he had to take her out.
Humans were social creatures, even immortals, or so Ye Chuan believed.
If Bai QianShuang truly preferred solitude, she wouldn't be so fixated on avenging her mother and master.
As if they were on the sa wavelength, just as Ye Chuan was thinking about Bai QianShuang, Luo Xi suddenly asked,
"Chuan Chuan, does Miss Bai QianShuang like you?"
Ye Chuan glanced at Luo Xi. "Who knows?"
But in reality, he didn't think Bai QianShuang had any romantic feelings for him.
That airheaded swordswoman seed oblivious to such things, always talking about "forever."
A lifeti commitnt was a bit much…
Of course, it wasn't a bad thing. Ye Chuan was quite happy with the daily gold coins and item drops.
"Don't flatter yourself," Luo Xi said, wrinkling her nose cutely.
Ye Chuan chuckled. "Let's go, lunch break is almost over."
"Okay."
