At those words, Tang San froze on the spot.

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief and gave Jiang Qin a grateful look.

She knew what her Third Brother was like. If he really had to apologize to Jiang Qin, he would surely hold a grudge against him and cause trouble later.

Yet Jiang Qin had chosen not to hold it against him and had even been generous enough to spare him an apology. He really was a good person!

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar all looked at Tang San with half-smiles.

Ning Rongrong wore a look of disdain, making no attempt to hide her contempt.

Zhu Zhuqing remained as cool and aloof as ever, but her eyes kept darting about as she stared at Jiang Qin. No one knew what she was thinking.

Zhao Wuji watched the situation from the side, silently permitting it all without a word.

To some extent, his silence was a stance in itself. He too resented Tang San's behavior, but as a teacher, he could hardly step in and openly take sides. This way, everyone had a way to save face, which was obviously the best outcome.

But...

The next second, Tang San exploded again. He snorted heavily at Jiang Qin, then grabbed Xiao Wu without another word. "Xiao Wu, we're leaving!"

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded. Wait, Third Brother, what are you doing?

He had already given him a way to save face, so why was he still acting like this?

She immediately shook off Tang San's hand. "Third Brother!" Her voice grew sharper, carrying a note of warning.

She meant to remind Third Brother that storming off with a sour face like this was extremely improper. They had only just arrived, and he was already doing this...

Even Jiang Qin was stunned. He had not wanted to be Tang San's enemy in the first place, and he had not shown the slightest hostility. Tang San had been here for several days already, yet Jiang Qin had not said a single word to him.

What was this about?

All he could say was, he truly lived up to his name: Tang Xiaosan, pure as ice and clean as jade!

At that thought, Jiang Qin's gaze gradually sharpened, and an intriguing smile curled at the corners of his mouth. It would be rude not to return the favor. Since you want to start something, Tang San, I, Jiang Qin, will take you on. We'll see about that in the future.

Tang San, however, shouted, "Xiao Wu! Whose side are you on?! Come with me, now!"

Tang San was deeply disappointed. In his mind, Xiao Wu was already his exclusive prize, his little sister, his possession. She ought to support him unconditionally.

Yet today, she had openly supported an outsider again and again?!

This was outrageous!

He grabbed Xiao Wu and headed outside, paying no heed to her struggles.

Seeing that Tang San was determined to leave, Xiao Wu could do nothing. She stamped her foot helplessly, gave Jiang Qin an apologetic look, and followed Tang San away.

Everyone stood rooted to the spot, evidently baffled by Tang San's whole display.

Then the sound of an argument drifted from afar, growing louder and louder:

"Let go! You're hurting me!"

"Hmph, whose side are you on? Xiao Wu, why are you speaking up for an outsider?!"

"You! You bastard!" Xiao Wu was furious.

The voices grew increasingly muddled and indistinct, until they gradually faded from hearing.

Ning Rongrong frowned. She wanted to help Xiao Wu, but she was not a bleeding heart, after all. Seeing that Xiao Wu had not struggled just now, she said nothing more.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained cool, like a block of ice, and she seemed to have no reaction.

Ma Hongjun, however, turned his head, the folds of his fat face wobbling as he gave a lecherous chuckle. "I didn't expect that kid to look so meek, yet know a thing or two about keeping a woman in line."

"Boss Dai, Oscar, maybe we ought to learn a thing or two from him."

Ma Hongjun felt a twinge of longing. After all, with the sort of man he was, even when he went to the pleasure houses, only the old and fat women were willing to receive him. Naturally, he envied Tang San.

At that, Ning Rongrong frowned. "Where did this damned fatty come from? He's so lecherous. How disgusting."

Then she glanced at Jiang Qin and nodded. Jiang Qin was better, after all.

Dai Mubai gave a knowing smile and was just about to speak when he suddenly felt an icy gaze fixed on him...

He turned stiffly and found Zhu Zhuqing staring straight at him, her gaze ten times colder than usual, its threat unmistakable.

So he laughed awkwardly and said, "What are you talking about, you damned fatty? That's between the young couple. Don't go talking nonsense."

Ma Hongjun's eyes gleamed wickedly as he chuckled. "Boss Dai, why are you pretending? Didn't we just go to the pleasure house yesterday? I even found that girl for you..."

At that, he felt envious, because that girl had refused to receive him no matter what, yet had plastered herself against Dai Mubai the moment she saw him.

Dai Mubai's face grew paler and paler, for he could feel the chill on Zhu Zhuqing's face deepening with every word Ma Hongjun spoke...

That damned fatty! Dai Mubai was furious. He immediately gave Ma Hongjun a hard slap. "Damned fatty, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

Ma Hongjun rubbed his face aggrievedly. He did not understand why Dai Mubai, his good buddy who usually went to the pleasure houses with him, had turned on him, but he did not dare make a sound.

He had the least standing here and fawned on Dai Mubai in everything, never daring to offend him.

Dai Mubai hurried over to Zhu Zhuqing and said ingratiatingly, "Zhu Zhuqing, listen to me. It's not what you think. That damned fatty is talking nonsense..."

Dai Mubai had long been drooling over Zhu Zhuqing's curvaceous figure, especially the two large mounds of soft flesh on her chest. He had spent the past two days shamelessly hovering around her and had only just begun to make a little progress, only for that damned fatty Ma Hongjun to ruin it.

Sure enough, Zhu Zhuqing gave a cold snort and sneered, "Well, well, Dai Mubai. I went to all that trouble to find you, only for you to be doing this sort of thing here?"

"Get lost! I don't want to see you again!"

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing was so furious that she gasped for breath, the two mounds of soft flesh on her chest rising and falling like surging waves.

Dai Mubai's face stiffened, and he clenched his fists. He had always held himself high above others; when had he ever suffered such an insult?

This damned bitch dares to speak to me like that! Dai Mubai seethed inwardly, but looking at Zhu Zhuqing's lovely figure, he took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse.

He held up four fingers. "Zhu Zhuqing, I swear that damned fatty was talking nonsense. I would never do those filthy things. If I'm lying, may the heavens strike me with five bolts of lightning!"

This trick had never failed him. As a man who frequented the flower beds, he had always made a thousand solemn vows of love in bed, fooling one young woman after another until they were utterly besotted.

He gazed at Zhu Zhuqing with deep affection, swearing oath after oath, as though he meant to pull out his heart and show it to her.

Zhu Zhuqing wavered a little. Dai Mubai seemed quite serious.

Should she give him a chance?

Jiang Qin, however, gave a cold laugh. A purple pill flashed out of his hand, which he had flicked near Dai Mubai while everyone's attention was on the pair.

The sky had been clear for ten thousand miles, but a bank of dark clouds suddenly drifted overhead. Then, with a boom, a bolt of heavenly lightning fell from the sky, striking straight at Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai stared blankly, with no time to dodge, and was struck at once.

In an instant, his once sharp-looking locks turned to charcoal, and the blow made his eyes roll back, nearly knocking him unconscious.

Fortunately, the lightning did little damage, and he was not seriously hurt.

But Zhu Zhuqing's hesitant expression turned icy almost at once. Without a word, she left.

Dai Mubai wanted to cry, but had no tears. "Wait, you actually struck me?!"
