Chapter 11: A Feeling of Familiarity

……

Under the gaze of a crowd of envious onlookers, after safely sending Lv Cheng out of the school, Tang Yue returned to her office.

After all, her current status was that of a high school teacher; she could not engage in such things, as the influence would be poor.

Although she was very curious about Lv Cheng's situation, for the time being, she still had to collect more information first, and make plans only after figuring out the true situation.

"Brother Cheng!"

Outside the school, Zhang Xiaohou caught up to Lv Cheng.

Tianlan Magic High School had boarding facilities; of course, day students were also allowed, but since this would delay a lot of cultivation time, most students chose to live at school.

However, there were also quite a few who chose to be day students like Lv Cheng.

"Something up?" Lv Cheng paused his steps.

He and Zhang Xiaohou were acquaintances; of course, not particularly close. After all, he was an adult, and an adult who was not good at socializing, so naturally, he could not be very familiar with these teenagers, puberty-stricken, boisterous kids.

At most, it could only be considered coping.

Only after growing up did one realize just how annoying children really were!

"Brother Cheng, that... you and Teacher Tang Yue, are you really... that?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.

"Which one?" Lv Cheng asked in return.

"Just that!" Zhang Xiaohou glanced nervously at Mo Fan, who was hiding not far away.

"You wouldn't happen to be... being a scumbag again, would you?"

Lv Cheng looked in the direction of Zhang Xiaohou's gaze, "Do not use a shallow word like 'scumbag' to describe me; I am merely polyamorous."

"Poly... amorous?" The corner of Zhang Xiaohou's eye twitched wildly.

As expected of you!

"Polyamorous my ass!"

Mo Fan ran over with a face full of fury.

"If you want to be polyamorous, go be polyamorous with others, don't be polyamorous with Xinxia!"

"What does that have to do with you?" Lv Cheng looked puzzled.

Due to his parents, he actually knew Ye Xinxia earlier; he even knew Ye Chang. If his parents hadn't gone missing earlier, Ye Chang would have originally placed Ye Xinxia in his home.

However, his parents disappeared ahead of time, and at that time, he was just a five or six-year-old child; it was impossible for him to take care of a little girl two years younger than him who had limited mobility.

Therefore, Ye Chang used the same old trick, throwing Ye Xinxia into the hands of the Mo Family, which was a vassal of the Mu Family at the time, and then, she also disappeared.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Mo Fan grabbed Lv Cheng by the collar.

"Do you even care about Xinxia at all?"

Lv Cheng frowned slightly, "I will give you three seconds to consider: let go, or lie down."

"Three."

As soon as the words fell, Mo Fan quickly put distance between himself and Lv Cheng.

Seeing that Mo Fan had not lost his reason due to impulse, Zhang Xiaohou breathed a sigh of relief.

No joke, if they really started fighting, Lv Cheng could easily rub Mo Fan into the ground!

It was also because of Lv Cheng's exaggerated combat power that although he was hated in school, no one had ever dared to confront him head-on.

He had seen it with his own eyes before: Lv Cheng just gave a light tap, and the person's hand was dislocated!

"First, you have no right to interfere in my private life." Lv Cheng straightened his collar.

"Second, what I do or do not do, what does it have to do with you?"

After speaking, Lv Cheng waved his hand, hailed a taxi, and left.

"Brother Fan, don't be so impulsive," Zhang Xiaohou said helplessly.

"Just now, if Brother Cheng had been in even a slightly worse mood, you would have been lying in bed for at least half a month."

The corner of Mo Fan's eye twitched, "Don't think I'm afraid of him!"

He had already successfully mastered his Thunder Magic!

If they really fought, it wasn't certain...

"Brother Fan, it's not that I'm trying to discourage you, it's just..." Zhang Xiaohou paused.

"Never mind that you can't cast magic yet; even if you had already mastered Primary Magic, how long do you think it would take for Brother Cheng to make you lose consciousness at that distance?"

Mo Fan's expression froze.

At that distance, he really would have been beaten to the ground by Lv Cheng before he could cast his magic.

But he didn't understand!

Clearly, the world had changed, and magic had replaced science, so why was Lv Cheng's combat power still so terrifying?

This world didn't seem to have martial arts, right?

"Uh... Brother Fan, that direction, it seems to be..." Zhang Xiaohou's expression was strange.

Mo Fan was stunned.

"Damn it!"

……

Mingwen Girls' High School.

Because he was kept behind by Tang Yue for a talk, Lv Cheng arrived a little later than the agreed time; now, it was already past school dismissal time.

Walking through the alleyway, not far ahead was a small hill; beneath the hill was a small lawn, and in the center of the lawn was a wooden swing entwined with winter jasmine.

Sitting quietly on the swing was a little girl wearing a pale purple long dress.

"Sorry, I was delayed by something." Lv Cheng arrived quietly behind Ye Xinxia.

"Brother A-Cheng!" Ye Xinxia, who was looking down and wondering what she was thinking about, was startled.

"In a bad mood?" Lv Cheng walked up, crouched down, and took Ye Xinxia's hands in his.

"I..." Ye Xinxia's gaze darted away.

"What is it, were you bullied again?" Lv Cheng pinched Ye Xinxia's little face.

"I wasn't..." The roots of Ye Xinxia's ears turned red.

"You should tell me when you run into trouble," Lv Cheng said.

Mingwen Girls' High School was mostly filled with wealthy young ladies, and a poor girl like Ye Xinxia, who was both beautiful and a good student, was naturally met with contempt and jealousy.

"Or is it that I'm not worth relying on, and you trust your Brother Mo Fan more?" Lv Cheng asked.

"I don't..." Ye Xinxia buried her head deep into her budding chest.

"I just... didn't want to cause you trouble."

"How many more times do you want me to repeat myself?" Lv Cheng bent down and cupped Ye Xinxia's head in his hands.

"You are not my trouble; you are my most adorable little sister."

"..."

"How many people have you said that to?" Ye Xinxia's expression turned strange.

Why did it feel so practiced?

"At least up until now, you are the only one," Lv Cheng said earnestly.

"And what about in the future?" Ye Xinxia asked with a laugh.

"You aren't actually planning on having a harem of three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, are you?"

Ever since they first met, this scumbag brother of hers had said that in the future, he would definitely make her a noble consort; when she was young and naive, she had happily agreed that when she grew up, she would be a noble consort for Brother A-Cheng.

She had originally thought this scumbag brother was joking, but as she grew up over these past few years, she gradually sensed that the scumbag brother was serious.

"Don't be nervous, your position as noble consort is unshakable," Lv Cheng said with a straight face.

"Then... what about Sister Ningxue?" Ye Xinxia suddenly asked.

"Her..." Lv Cheng paused.

"Let's grant her a cold palace."

"A cold palace?" Ye Xinxia gripped Lv Cheng's hands tightly.

"Brother A-Cheng, are you still angry?"

"Sister Ningxue didn't back then..."

"Where are the people who bullied you?" Lv Cheng interrupted.

"Huh?" Ye Xinxia was stunned.

Before she could say anything more, Lv Cheng's figure vanished from before her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he was walking toward the top of the hill.

"Brother A-Cheng! Don't be impulsive!"

Lv Cheng waved his hand without looking back and walked up to the small pavilion on the hill.
