Chapter 2: Chen Sheng
"I will kill him. Kill him. I must get this place back! Otherwise, not only in the fighting academy, but also in the royal city, there will be no place for me, Duke Wei!"
Although it was Duke Wei who walked out in high spirits after the duel. Although Chen Sheng cooperated very well and pretended to be in a very miserable state. Although he had secretly washed off the yellow liquid on the outside of his robe. But... The sticky feeling in his crotch and the face full of demonic aura in his mind constantly reminded him of how great an insult he had suffered today.
"Call on the family's strong ones to take action?"
Duke Wei immediately rejected this idea. Because if this matter were known by the family, he would also be in big trouble. At least in a short time, he would have no chance to stand out in the family.
"Right! When the eldest young master comes back, I will fan the flames. With the temper of the eldest young master, he will definitely kill Chen Sheng! Right! That's what I'll do!"
Duke Wei slapped his thigh, made up his mind, and his heart also relaxed. He was very clear about the temper of the eldest young master of the Wei family. Thinking that Chen Sheng would not have a good time for long, the sense of humiliation in his heart also faded a bit.
Chen Sheng did not enter the yard. In the eyes of everyone, he was frightened silly. Dazed by the beating and temporarily had no face to see people.
He sat on a patch of grass by the woods, bent over, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth. There was no emotional fluctuation on his face. But on his back, there was an indelible loneliness.
"This d*mn world. Can't surf the Internet. Can't play games. Can't watch Japanese art films. It's all intrigues and fighting all day. So boring. Very boring!"
Chen Sheng spat out the dogtail grass, put his hands behind his head, and lay on his back on the grass, looking at the blue sky, squinting his eyes, his face full of sourness.
That's right!
He is a reborn person, a time traveler. He endured the most painful first three years of high school in his life. He was diligent. In the sea of books, he fought his way out and performed perfectly. He was 100% sure to enter the key university line. But as soon as he walked out of the examination room, his eyes went dark and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Then he came to this world called the Sacred Continent.
It has been more than ten years since he came to this world. It is not as interesting as he imagined. He has been cultivating hard for more than ten years. Today, his strength is obviously higher than that of Duke Wei. But in the end, he had to pretend to be a grandson. This makes him very unhappy!
"This d*mn life. When can I be carefree?"
Chen Sheng sighed faintly. His ears trembled slightly. With his terrifying perception, he easily found someone approaching. But when he saw a touch of white skirt at the corner of his eye, his face immediately showed a bitter expression.
"What is carefree? Work hard all one's life. Jump from the circle of poor warriors to the circle of noble warriors. With power and influence, can one be truly carefree? Hehe, this is just jumping from one cage to another!"
A clear and pleasant voice rang out. Wu Hui walked slowly. On her pretty face was the same loneliness as Chen Sheng. Her faint eyebrows were curled up, making people feel distressed.
Chen Sheng didn't want to have too much entanglement with this beauty who brought trouble. But seeing the distressed sadness on her delicate little face, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Subconsciously, he took over the conversation and said, "In that case, then... break this cage!"
As soon as the words came out, Chen Sheng knew that he was impulsive. The light in his eyes flashed and he immediately returned to normal. He carefully observed Wu Hui.
"Break it? How easy is it?"
Wu Hui's expression didn't change at all. It seemed that she didn't notice Chen Sheng's different behavior. She just took out a money bag from her sleeve and threw it beside Chen Sheng. She said faintly, "Take it and heal your wounds. I was reckless today. I'm sorry!"
Chen Sheng sat up, grabbed the money bag, smelled the faint fragrance coming from the money bag, and his mood improved a lot. He smiled, threw the money bag back to Wu Hui and said, "Although I am poor, I am not pitiful yet!"
Wu Hui was also very straightforward. She took the money bag, turned and left. After walking several meters away, she looked back slightly and sighed, "That night, it really wasn't you who saved me?"
Chen Sheng paused for a moment and said decisively, "No!"
"I understand... Thank you!"
Wu Hui's face showed a touch of faint sadness. She looked at Chen Sheng, left a sentence and left gracefully.
Looking at the figure like a little white flower gradually disappearing, Chen Sheng shook his head and continued to lie on his back on the grass. He sighed faintly and said, "Although being a phoenix man is a shortcut, I really am not used to being under someone else's roof! And I don't have time for romantic affairs either!"
...
For a whole day, Chen Sheng didn't go to the school to listen to lectures or go to the square to practice martial arts. He sat alone on the grass by the woods.
The warriors in the fighting academy thought he was ashamed to see people or had gone back to heal his wounds. But in the evening, Chen Sheng quietly appeared. Like all the students, he took his mount beside the yard gate and went home respectively.
The rules of the fighting academy are very loose. As long as you don't violate a few basic principles, you can even not come to the fighting academy for classes as long as you pay the tuition. Of course, if your strength doesn't reach a certain requirement, it will be very difficult to get the recognition letter from the fighting academy!
Chen Sheng ignored the strange eyes of countless people. Riding on his unique and very stylish little donkey, he swayed towards the west city gate. The little donkey was very slow. He walked all the way west. It was not until the setting sun and the silver moon rose that he reached a small town called "Green Bull" dozens of miles west of the royal city.
He didn't enter Green Bull Town. Instead, he walked into an old yard outside Green Bull Town. He patted the little donkey's butt. The little donkey automatically walked towards the stable in the yard. Chen Sheng walked straight towards a wooden house in the center of the yard.
"Creak!"
Before he got close to the house, the door opened. The one-meter-wide door was covered by a huge black shadow. This was a body so burly that it could make people feel oppressed. Two meters tall, it was truly a broad back and a strong waist. On the knotted chest muscles was a young face. Extremely contradictory, but even more strange!
"Brother!"
On the young face, a row of dazzling white teeth was exposed. The smile was innocent and brilliant. Looking a bit silly and stupid.
Chen Sheng also smiled. His face was full of warmth. "Ning, have you finished practicing?"
The big guy nodded and stood aside. Chen Sheng walked in. When he saw a light green figure under the dim candlelight, his smile became even warmer. He grinned and called out, "Aunt!"
The house was not big. The furnishings inside were also very simple. A round table, a tea table, and several stools. Sitting beside the tea table was a woman. It was hard to tell her age. She was very beautiful. If Wu Hui was a budding lily, this woman was a fully blooming peony. Sweet, elegant and gentle. It was hard to imagine that in such a dilapidated yard, there lived such an extremely beautiful woman.
It was a pity that the woman was sitting on a wooden wheelchair. Her feet hung down powerlessly. Seeing Chen Sheng coming in, she turned the wheel with her hand and leaned against the round table. Obviously, her legs were inconvenient to move.
There were three people in one room. But two of them, one was paralyzed and the other was stupid!
"Sheng is back. Let's eat!"
Aunt smiled and nodded. Chen Sheng and the big guy called Ning immediately sat around the table and started eating.
There were not many dishes. One soup, one meat dish and one vegetable dish!
The big guy Ning, with his burly figure occupying half of the table, held a big bowl and buried his head in eating in big mouthfuls. Aunt ate very gracefully. From time to time, she picked up dishes for Chen Sheng. But Chen Sheng picked up dishes for Ning from time to time. When he picked up dishes, Ning would stop, grin and chuckle a few times, and then continue to bury his head and eat.
During the meal, it was quiet and peaceful. After eating, Ning chuckled a few times and left the room without saying a word. Chen Sheng cleaned up skillfully. Aunt turned the wheelchair and came to the tea table. She picked up a book and read it quietly.
After cleaning up, Chen Sheng went out for a while and then brought a basin of hot water. He put it in front of aunt. He bent down, took off her shoes for her, held her lotus-like jade feet and washed them carefully. Aunt looked at the book quietly without looking at Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng washed very slowly. His hands kept rubbing, as if massaging her. During this period, aunt still didn't look at him. It was not until Chen Sheng finished washing her feet that aunt put down the book and looked at Chen Sheng and said, "You have something on your mind?"
Chen Sheng raised his head and said with a wry smile, "I beat Duke Wei today!"
"The Wei family?" Aunt's two beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled and said, "Tell me in detail."
Chen Sheng immediately told aunt everything that happened today. Finally, looking at aunt's extremely beautiful face with some regret, he said, "Aunt, I was reckless. I shouldn't have saved Wu Hui on Devil Mountain last time!"
Aunt pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. Since you have done it, don't regret it! You did very well today. Duke Wei doesn't have the courage to retaliate against you in a short time."
"But..."
Chen Sheng was a little anxious. "After Wei Mu comes back, he will definitely not let it go! Duke Wei is a small role. But Wei Mu is the young patriarch of the Wei family!"
"What are you afraid of? Just do it freely and follow your heart!"
Aunt smiled. She reached out and gently stroked Chen Sheng's face and said gently, "At worst... You can take aunt and flee. Isn't my Sheng capable of protecting aunt?"
"No!"
Chen Sheng shook his head. A resolute look lit up in his eyes. He said extremely firmly, "I won't go. I will definitely win the first place in the fighting academy competition in a month. Then lead the team to participate in the western ten-city league. The pharmacist said that as long as the fighting academy enters the top three, a phoenix feather pill will be rewarded. I must get the phoenix feather pill and cure aunt's legs! Definitely!"
Aunt shook her head slightly and smiled. "Silly child. Aunt is old. Sitting on the wheelchair you made is also very comfortable. I have been used to it for so many years. You don't have to wrong yourself and suffer so much!"
Chen Sheng chuckled and shook his head slightly. "Not wronged. Not bitter. Aunt raised me, taught me, spoiled me and loved me. If it weren't for Sheng, aunt's legs wouldn't be paralyzed. For aunt, Sheng should even risk his life!"
"Silly child!" Aunt sighed slightly. She waved her hand and said, "Go!"
Chen Sheng turned and walked out of the house. But aunt's eyes suddenly became sharp. Looking out of the window, she said softly, "The Wei family? I hope you don't provoke my Sheng. Otherwise... Hmph!"
