Heroes Strike (Continued)

Snap!

"Still trying to argue? I told you, a younger brother is not allowed to talk back to his older brother. Don't you even remember that?"

After scolding them, Liang Xin turned to his two companions and grinned, "I have to say, slapping someone feels really good, much better than kicking them."

One of the group's tall boys, with a cigarette butt dangling from his mouth, said, "Look at what you've done! You've scared everyone! How can you bully your younger brother like that?"

Then he walked up to the skinny boy, squatted down, and comforted him in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Liang Xin was just saying that in anger. You don't need to apologize in PE class tomorrow."

"Thank you, Brother Fan! Thank you, Brother Fan!"

The skinny boy was so grateful that he forgot all about the pain he was in.

Liang Xin said with dissatisfaction, "Hey, Liu Fan, you can't undermine me! If you make me take back what I said, I'll lose face. Who will want to work with me then?"

"Alright, alright, it was just something said in anger. If you don't say it and I don't say it, how could it get out? Everyone here is on our side, they certainly won't spread rumors."

The skinny boy hurriedly assured him, "Brother Liang Xin, even if you beat me to death, I won't tell."

"That's right, that's how it should be. The younger brother respects the older brother, and the older brother takes care of the younger brother. This is good for everyone."

As Liu Fan spoke, he pulled the person up from the ground and patted the dust off the person's body.

The skinny boy said gratefully, "Brother Fan, no need, I can do it myself. Don't get your hands dirty."

Liang Xin said with dissatisfaction, "You're good at playing the good guy, aren't you trying to steal my girlfriend?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen," Liu Fan waved his hand, then said to the skinny boy, "Look, Liang Xin is still angry. Shouldn't we help him cool off and cheer him up? Even if we don't buy him a pack of cigarettes, we should at least go dancing with him at a dance hall or singing karaoke, right?"

"Yes, it's the right thing to do."

Liu Fan continued, "Today's events all started because of you, so you'll be paying for tonight's expenses, is that alright?"

The skinny boy's face turned pale instantly, and he stammered, "But... but I just paid protection money a few days ago, and I don't have any money left."

Liang Xin immediately understood Liu Fan's plan. While admiring the other party's cunning, he put on a stern face and said, "If you don't have money, then you'll strip naked and apologize in front of everyone during tomorrow's PE class. Don't even think about stopping until I'm satisfied. Keep shouting!"

Liu Fan quickly advised, "Don't be like this. You just said that the older brother would take care of the younger brother, why are you turning your back on me?"

Liang Xin said viciously, "Big brother is supposed to take care of little brother, and little brother is supposed to be filial to big brother. Now that little brother doesn't even plan to be filial, why should I take care of him? You shameless bastard!"

Liu Fan then said to the thin boy, "Look, Brother Liu Xin has already made concessions. If you still disagree, then you're in the wrong. It's better for everyone if both sides compromise."

"But... but I've already paid..."

"Protection money is protection money, but what we're talking about today is not the same thing. It's a settlement fee for apologizing and making amends. If you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment. After accepting the punishment, we're still on the same side."

"But I really don't have any money on me. You can search me all you want, I really don't have a single penny."

"If you don't have money, you can ask your parents. Go home and tell them that the teacher is opening small classes and that you need to pay for extra lessons. Those who don't pay can't attend, and their grades might drop. Besides, all the other students have paid. If you say that, your parents will definitely give you the money, and the problem will be solved."

"But... but..."

"I was just giving you a suggestion. If you don't want to listen and have your own ideas, that's fine too. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Although Liu Fan spoke with a smile, in the eyes of the thin boy, his smile was more terrifying than Liang Xin's angry face, and his heart sank.

"I... I understand, I'll get right away..."

That's enough!

With a loud bang, the warehouse door was kicked open.

Who is it?

Just as they were about to succeed, they were interrupted at the crucial moment. Liang Xin and the others turned around angrily, but what greeted them was a blinding light that made it almost impossible to open their eyes. They could only vaguely make out the outline of a figure in the light.

"The Dao opens ninefold, revealing mirages; the profound cultivator wields One Sword, his traces traversing the heavens!"

A pink figure appeared in the light. Turning around, she was seen holding a whisk and carrying a sword on her back. There was a yin-yang fish painted on each of her shoulders, and the headband on her head was also in the shape of Taiji diagram. However, it was not black and white, but pink and dark red, which made her look more girlish. She wore a mask of the Jingwei bird on her face, which gave her a mysterious feeling.

The instant the girl turned around, a gust of air swept out along the ground, fluttering her clothes and making a whooshing sound, like a mountain rain about to fall, creating a powerful pressure that frightened Liang Xin and the others into taking several steps back.

A master, an absolute master!

Liang Xin was completely stunned. He had never seen a master with such a powerful entrance before. None of the teachers in the school could compare to him. Even the dean of students, who was known as the number one master in the school, was not worthy to carry his shoes. This was the kind of treatment that even the peerless masters in the movies received when they made their entrance.

All I did was extort money from a classmate, how did that attract the attention of such a peerless master?

Your imposing entrance is enough to vanquish a great demon and save the martial arts world. Isn't it beneath you to use it to deal with a small fry like me?

Outside the warehouse door, Si Ming shone a light from one hand, illuminating Xie Xiaomei's back, while the other hand stirred up air currents and pushed them into the warehouse, creating an aura of "pretentiousness is like the wind, always with me."

Although he wanted to take Xie Xiaomei on a chivalrous adventure as a super heroine, ideally catching a murderer, stopping a robbery, and rescuing a child from a fire, the security situation in Su State was generally good. Encountering a major crime in peacetime wasn't easy; he couldn't very well orchestrate a robbery and fire, could he?

But if nothing happens, and the opening salvo fails to fire, it will greatly affect morale, and Xie Xiaomei's interest, which has just been sparked, may vanish without a trace the very next day.

Left with no other choice, he asked Yao Bilian which school in the city was the worst, and then took Xie Xiaomei there. Unexpectedly, they encountered school bullying as soon as they arrived, and this level of "bad thing" was just right for Xie Xiaomei to practice on her first appearance.

Of course, Si Ming himself didn't go up to join the fun. After completing the entrance ceremony, he hid to the side to avoid being seen. Otherwise, if he recited the poem "Seven emotions unfazed by fourfold grace, eight rafts always return to the souls of the ten realms. Bearing the karma of all worldly tribulations, the boundless water and moon exist in the great universe," but ended up fighting a bunch of delinquent students, that would be too embarrassing. This wasn't just using a sledgehammer to crack a nut; the whole scene was just wrong.

Inside the warehouse, Xie Xiaomei cried out, "Stop! Let him go!"

Si Ming staggered upon hearing this. Although he maintained his composure, he seemed far too tense. Luckily, he had practiced a few times on the way here, otherwise, the situation might have been much worse.

However, compared to Xie Xiaomei's usual performance, there has been a significant improvement, likely because wearing a mask allowed her to immerse herself in the role she was playing.

Unfortunately, compared to her high-profile entrance, her tone of voice was far too weak, and Liu Fan noticed it immediately.
