Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Elder Sister, Brother-in-Law, We Salute You!
Xiao Wu analyzed the situation and concluded that Ning Rongrong had been bullied by the man in the library.
Since Ning Rongrong kept crying without saying a word, everyone could only accept Xiao Wu's judgment.
Shrek Academy's motto was that those who didn't dare to stir up trouble were cowards. Now that someone had bullied one of their own, they couldn't tolerate it. Fueled by righteous fury, they all stormed toward the library.
Upon arriving, they found out that the library had already closed for the day. After inquiring about Dan Heng's address, they then charged toward his small courtyard!
At the courtyard entrance, Zhao Wuji raised his leg, ready to kick the wooden door down.
Suddenly, a figure blocked his way.
"Who are you?" Zhu Zhuqing coldly asked, staring at the group of uninvited guests.
Zhao Wuji shouted, "Where is that guy named Dan Heng? Is he here? He bullied our female student, so he must give us an explanation! Tell him to get out here immediately!"
As he spoke, Zhao Wuji released his seven soul rings, and although his power might not match that of Prince Zhu, his aura was even more imposing.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped back two paces, her expression grave.
Dai Mubai and the others, seeing how beautiful this young girl was, felt reluctant to act rashly. They secretly cursed Zhao Wuji for being a brute who didn't know how to cherish beauty.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun hurriedly grabbed Zhao Wuji from both sides.
"Teacher Zhao, calm down! Calm down! We haven't even figured out the truth yet. How can you just randomly yell at someone?"
"Yeah, Teacher Zhao, just look at this young lady. She clearly looks like a good person. You're the one being unreasonable here!"
Oscar, standing behind them, added, "I also think this is all a misunderstanding. We can't act recklessly. We should be polite, right? We should reason with people."
Tang San, seeing this, gave a fair statement, "Let's meet him first before discussing anything else."
"???" Zhao Wuji stared at the four of them and spat on the ground.
Damn it! Were these four little brats just willing to side with whoever looked good?!
The moment they saw a pretty girl, they switched sides?!
Zhao Wuji clenched his fists. He swore to himself that when they got back, he'd give these four little brats a brutal training session.
"Forget it! What does it matter? Let's just go in and beat up that bastard—"
Zhao Wuji's eyes widened, glaring fiercely at Dai Mubai and the others.
They immediately shut their mouths, cursing Zhao Wuji inwardly for being a reckless brute.
But they didn't dare to defy him.
At that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Who's outside? And who are you planning to beat up?"
Zhao Wuji, who had been acting all high and mighty, suddenly shuddered.
A memory surfaced—he recalled being called out by Tang Hao not too long ago.
It was the same feeling!
And then… he was mercilessly beaten up!
Zhao Wuji slowly turned around, warily looking in the direction of the voice.
From the house emerged a woman dressed in white, her long hair neatly tied into an elegant bun. Her breathtakingly beautiful and cold face gazed at them without the slightest trace of emotion, as if a dragon were looking down upon ants.
The hostility Zhao Wuji had just released vanished like a tiny flame doused in water.
Others could only see this woman's peerless beauty, but in his eyes, there was no doubt—she was a top-tier powerhouse!
If she focused her attention on him, he'd probably only have one option: running for his life…
"Teacher Zhao, why are you shaking?"
Ma Hongjun asked in confusion, "Even if this goddess is really pretty, you can't just start trembling like this, right?"
"Yeah, I told you there was definitely a misunderstanding. Teacher Zhao, your temper is way too explosive! You should've changed it long ago!" Dai Mubai righteously lectured.
Upon seeing an even more beautiful woman, they had already completely switched sides.
They were now reflecting on their own actions and started scolding Zhao Wuji instead.
Even Tang San was momentarily stunned by the sight of this woman. He had never seen such an unbelievably beautiful person before.
The word "goddess" was the only suitable description for her.
Oscar quickly stepped in to explain, "Goddess, please don't take offense. This was just a misunderstanding. One of our companions, Ning Rongrong, went to the library to see Dan Heng, but when she came back, she was heartbroken and crying…"
Gu Yuena narrowed her eyes, looking at Zhao Wuji, her voice icy. "So, what exactly were you planning to do?"
The Silver Dragon King's pressure bore down on Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji trembled even more violently, and at this point, he almost felt like kneeling.
"I… I…" Zhao Wuji gulped.
Why was he always so unlucky?
No matter where he went, he always ran into a Titled Douluo?!
And this stunningly beautiful woman in front of him—her strength was probably even beyond the Clear Sky Douluo!
Just then, a voice called out from the distance.
"What are you all doing?"
Dan Heng approached from afar, accompanied by a seductive beauty carrying bags of meat.
The moment Zhao Wuji heard Dan Heng's voice, the pressure on him instantly disappeared.
His body swayed, nearly toppling over onto Dai Mubai.
"…" Dai Mubai almost got crushed.
Zhao Wuji, still trembling in fear, glanced at Gu Yuena, who now had an incredibly radiant smile on her face.
Gu Yuena quickly stepped forward. Terrified, Zhao Wuji nearly turned around and ran.
His entire body twitched.
Dai Mubai, meanwhile, had a dark expression. He felt like Zhao Wuji was deliberately humiliating him.
Gu Yuena threw herself into Dan Heng's arms, gazing up at him with large, bright eyes. She sighed softly and whispered, "Husband, it seems they came looking for trouble. I feel a little scared…"
"???" Zhao Wuji was dumbfounded.
He was practically scared out of his wits by this woman, yet she was now claiming to be afraid?!
Where was justice?! Where was the law?!
"No, no, it was all a misunderstanding… Lady Zi Ji, why are you here?"
Tang San asked in confusion.
Zi Ji rolled her eyes and said matter-of-factly, "This is my sister's house. Why shouldn't I be here? Oh, so you were about to cause trouble for my sister? It looks like you all need a good lesson!"
Oscar's expression changed immediately, and he quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, nothing like that! We just came to ask a few questions! Just a few questions! Look at us—do we seem like troublemakers?"
Dai Mubai's eyes lit up as he looked at Dan Heng, his attitude shifting dramatically.
"Brother-in-law, greetings! The moment I saw you, I knew you were an outstanding gentleman. There's no way you'd bully a girl. This must be a misunderstanding! I'll bring gifts another day and formally visit you and my sister."
"Right, right, we're all good friends of Lady Zi Ji! It's all Ning Rongrong's fault for making us misunderstand. We'll be back later…" Ma Hongjun quickly added, sneaking glances at Zhu Zhuqing.
Zi Ji was clearly claimed by Dai Mubai, so did that mean the fierce and fiery beauty was meant for him?
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai each grabbed Zhao Wuji and swiftly fled, afraid he'd say anything else to offend these powerhouses.
And Zhao Wuji? He was more than happy to leave!
Tang San and the others could only shake their heads helplessly and follow behind.
At the courtyard entrance, only Dan Heng and his three companions remained. He grabbed Gu Yuena's shoulders.
He could tell—Gu Yuena wasn't afraid at all.
"Your cousin is here. I'll go prepare dinner…"
