Chapter 55: Rude Man!

By the banks of the Qingshui River, willows hang over the shore.

A young man wearing a scholar's robe, with bruises still on his face, was reservedly speaking with two women.

The woman in the white dress smiled and said, "Young Master Xu is quite refined; are you here alone to admire the peach blossoms?"

Xu Xian said, "Yes, alone."

The woman in the green dress smiled and said, "What a coincidence, we two sisters have no company either. Young Master Xu, meeting is fate; why don't we stroll together?"

Xu Xian looked at her, somewhat guarded: "Where do you two young ladies wish to go for a stroll?"

The incident by the West Lake that day still left him with lingering fears.

"Right here, of course."

The woman in the green dress gave a charming smile: "Where would Young Master Xu like to go?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian immediately let down his guard and said politely, "It is entirely up to you two young ladies; I am happy to go wherever you wish."

The woman in the white dress suddenly looked up and said, "Oh, there is a small hut ahead; shall we go there to rest first? We sisters have been walking for a long time and are a bit tired."

As she spoke, she bent down and massaged her legs.

The things on her chest, following the bending of her waist, almost jumped out.

Xu Xian glanced at them, nodded, and said, "Alright."

"It's so hot today; I wonder if there is anyone ahead. I really want to go into the river to take a bath later."

The woman in the green dress wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

The woman in the white dress said, "I want to as well."

Then she looked at Xu Xian beside her and said in a coquettish voice, "Young Master Xu, could you help us watch our clothes and keep a lookout later?"

Xu Xian was stunned: "This..."

The woman in the green dress giggled: "If Young Master Xu is unwilling, we will just have to find someone else."

Xu Xian's heart fluttered, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "If you two young ladies trust me, I will naturally help."

The woman in the white dress smiled: "We sisters naturally trust you, Young Master, which is why we came over to talk to you. You look like a good person."

A reserved smile appeared on Xu Xian's face, and his gaze glanced at her chest again.

The three of them soon arrived at the small hut.

"Oh, it seems there is no one inside; let's go in and take a look."

The woman in the green dress pushed the door open and entered first.

The woman in the white dress looked to the side and smiled: "Young Master Xu, once we go in later, could you help this young lady massage her legs? My legs are so tired."

Xu Xian lowered his head to look, and before he could speak, the woman in the white dress had already taken his hand and smilingly pulled him into the hut.

"Creak..."

The wooden door closed.

The woman in the white dress: "Young Master Xu, I'm so itchy here..."

The woman in the green dress: "Young Master Xu, I'm so itchy here too..."

A moment later.

"Indecency! Indecency!"

Then a series of screams came from inside the hut.

"Creak..."

The wooden door opened.

The two women walked out with cold sneers on their faces; one held a Jade Pendant in her hand, and the other held a money bag.

Inside the hut, Xu Xian lay on the ground, bruised and swollen once again.

He stared blankly at the ceiling with his eyes, his mouth agape, nose bleeding, with an expression of utter despair.

"Scholars really are all idiots!"

"And they are all lechers too!"

The woman in the white dress and the woman in the green dress walked forward while laughing with disdain.

Who would have thought that at this very moment, a person suddenly walked out from behind a tree nearby, grabbed both of them by their hair, dragged them away directly, and headed toward that small hut.

The two women were so frightened that they screamed.

"Who are you?"

"What are you doing? You..."

Luo Zijun was very fast; he dragged the two of them directly into the hut and closed the wooden door.

"You... what are you doing?"

"In broad daylight, under the bright sun... ah!"

Before the two women could finish speaking, Luo Zijun's fists struck them directly.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

The two women were immediately beaten unconscious by a flurry of punches.

Xu Xian, who had just been lying on the ground in despair, was startled into a jolt, jumped up from the ground, retreated to a corner, and shivered, his face full of terror.

This thug is so ruthless; he can actually land such heavy blows on women...

Huh?

He suddenly realized that the thug currently beating the two women seemed somewhat familiar.

"Yours?"

Luo Zijun took a Jade Pendant from the white-skirted woman's bosom and looked at Xu Xian, who was shivering in the corner.

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then nodded weakly.

Luo Zijun threw the Jade Pendant at his feet and continued to search the two women.

He found two more money pouches.

One pouch contained two taels of silver, and the other contained a few copper coins.

The pouch with the two taels of silver was clearly Xu Xian's.

Luo Zijun did not stand on ceremony; he took out his own money pouch and put all two taels and five copper coins from the two pouches into it.

It wasn't much money, but it was all his now.

This fellow Xu Xian had caused him to have his silver deducted by his senior sister last time; now that he had earned this money through his own ability, he naturally wouldn't return it to him.

Xu Xian watched timidly, opened his mouth, but didn't dare to speak.

After finishing his search of the two women, Luo Zijun stood up, looked toward the corner, and suddenly felt a bit of doubt in his heart.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Twice in a row, this fellow Xu Xian had been extorted by women.

Was it just because this fellow looked thin and weak, appearing to be an easy target?

Or was there some other reason?

Luo Zijun couldn't help but think it over carefully. He had to think about it, because the fellow before him was no ordinary person.

"It couldn't be..."

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could it be a scheme deliberately set up by Bai Niangzi to temper Xu Xian's character, making him slowly grow wary and fearful of other women, only for Bai Niangzi to suddenly appear in a gentle and kind guise one day?

But these scammers all looked like ordinary people.

"Luo... Brother Luo, I really don't have any money left on me..."

Seeing him staring at him the whole time, Xu Xian felt a chill run down his spine, his body trembled, and he turned pale with fright.

This guy could land heavy blows on two delicate women, let alone him.

"Brother Xu has misunderstood."

A smile appeared on Luo Zijun's face as he picked up the Jade Pendant from the ground, handed it to him, and said, "I was just passing by and saw Brother Xu being robbed by these two women, so I stepped in to help. I am a student of the West Lake Academy just like Brother Xu, so how could I possibly commit such an act of robbery?"

Xu Xian's mouth twitched. He glanced at the two unconscious women on the ground, then at the chest area where he had just stuffed the money pouch. He managed to squeeze out a smile, tremblingly took the Jade Pendant, and hurriedly cupped his hands, saying, "Hehe, it was I who misunderstood Brother Luo. Many thanks... many thanks for your help, Brother Luo."

"You're welcome, we are all fellow students from now on."

!

Luo Zijun patted his shoulder with a warm smile on his face.

But inwardly, he was secretly saying: Master Xu, if you don't listen in the future and dare to think about bedding a snake, I'll kill you!

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, each with their own hidden thoughts, a commotion suddenly came from outside.

"Right here! Right in this small hut!"

"I just saw with my own eyes that fellow pulling and tugging with two women and entering this hut!"

Mei Yanqiu arrived in pursuit with the women from the Academy.

"Luo Zijun! You despicable and shameless bastard, get out here!"

"We are going to beat you to death today!"

The women outside began to shout and curse loudly.

Luo Zijun pushed the door open directly, then went over, grabbed the white-skirted woman and the green-skirted woman by their hair, and dragged them out. Standing at the doorway looking at the women outside, he said with a sinister tone, "What do you want?"

Seeing this scene, the women outside were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions all changed.

The white-skirted woman and the green-skirted woman were not only disheveled and bruised, but their mouths were also full of blood, and they had passed out.

"Luo... Luo Zijun, what... what have you done?"

Mei Yanqiu was startled, her voice trembling as she spoke.

Luo Zijun said with a cold face, "These two women just robbed Brother Xu. I happened to see it and taught them a lesson."

"Ah? Robbed?"

Everyone looked confused.

At this moment, Xu Xian walked out of the hut with his head lowered and his face bruised, saying with a look of shame, "What Brother Luo said is true. I... I was kind-hearted for a moment and was robbed by these two women..."

Being robbed by women, and twice in a row at that, was truly embarrassing.

Just then, a woman suddenly said, "Luo Zijun, even if it's true, you can't beat people up like this!"

Mei Yanqiu also said, "That's right, Luo Zijun, how could you lay such heavy hands on two women?"

The other women immediately began to rebuke him as well.

"Luo Zijun, are you even a man? How can you use force against women? Even if they were wrong, you shouldn't have hit them."

"As a scholar, how can you hit people? And hitting women at that, it's too much!"

"It's simply a disgrace to our culture!"

"They were indeed wrong to rob, but setting aside the facts, don't you have any fault at all?"

These Academy women grew more and more furious as they spoke, and it looked like they wanted to attack again.

They probably got a taste for it after attacking together just a moment ago.

At this, Luo Zijun suddenly cursed, "Stop your damn yapping, keep yapping and I'll beat you all too!"

Having said that, he delivered two more punches, *bam bam*, to the white-skirted woman and the green-skirted woman.

Mei Yanqiu and the others trembled in fear.

Luo Zijun clenched his fists, glared at them fiercely, and said, "I like hitting faces the most when I fight. Which one of you wants to come over and let me try a few punches?"

At this moment, the woman in the white dress and the woman in the green dress both slowly woke up, looking bewildered; just as they were thinking about what had happened, Luo Zijun punched them both in the face with a "pow, pow."

The two rolled their eyes and fainted again.

At this, Mei Yanqiu and the others were truly frightened.

The few women who had just rushed to the front immediately retreated involuntarily, even covering their faces in fear.

"Luo Zijun, you... you..."

"What, is your face itchy?"

Luo Zijun clenched his fists and glared at her.

The woman who had spoken trembled in fright, opened her mouth, but did not dare to say anything more.

Although there were many of them, this guy was so fierce and specifically liked to hit faces; who could guarantee they wouldn't be hit in the face with a few "pow, pow" punches?

For a moment of anger, is it worth ruining one's face?

At this time, Huang Beicheng arrived in a hurry with the men from the Academy.

He had assumed this group of angry women would already be beating Luo Zijun, but who would have thought that upon arriving, he would see this group of women standing there with pale faces, shrinking back, each looking as if they had been scared silly.

Wang Dafu was the last to run over, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Don't kick his face! Don't kick his face! Kick his butt! My brother Luo's butt is perky and bouncy, you can't kick him to death! Haha... hm?"

"Wha... what is going on?"

When he ran closer, he suddenly realized something was not right.

"They said it's more comfortable to kick you."

Luo Zijun teased, then left directly, saying: "You guys have fun, I'm going to take a leak."

It's truly strange, why do I always want to pee?

"Who wants to go pee? Together?"

He turned his head and asked.

No one responded; the men and women all stared at him blankly.

"Brother Wang, you aren't going either?"

Luo Zijun was not satisfied and asked Wang Dafu again.

Wang Dafu was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head.

Luo Zijun's heart suddenly grew heavy, and he left alone.

The few women standing in front, seeing him walk over, hurriedly moved out of the way, even lowering their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"This bastard is too arrogant!"

Huang Zhaodi held Sun Yan'er's hand, looking relieved: "Yan'er, it's a good thing you didn't fancy him; this guy is actually so vicious toward women, whoever marries him in the future will probably be beaten to death."

Zhang Liyan, standing to the side, looked terrified and deeply agreed: "This guy is so scary, he really dares to strike..."

Sun Yan'er stared blankly at the arrogant figure walking away, saying nothing.
