"Hello, Principal, it's Director Liu."

"Heh heh, Director Liu, what can I do for you?"

Director Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Um, Principal, Zhou En and Li Hui's group are clashing again."

Principal: "Zhou En, the one from the flag-raising ceremony?"

Director Liu: "Yes, Principal, can you think of a solution?"

The Principal's mood was clearly displeased: "Director Liu, Zhou En has already been expelled from our school. If he wants to court death, that's his own business."

"As a school, we just need to distance ourselves."

Director Liu: "No, Principal, Zhou En single-handedly took down all of Li Hui's lackeys."

The dandelion tea the Principal was drinking sprayed out.

"Cough, cough, cough, Director Liu, what did you say?" the Principal asked incredulously.

Director Liu: "Principal, Li Hui's thirty lackeys are all students of the school. Now that they've all been taken down, how can the school explain this to their parents?"

The Principal frowned and said, "We'll have to push this off for now. Try to clear our responsibility as much as possible."

After hanging up the phone, the Principal was still somewhat shocked.

"What's wrong, Father?" Just then, a clear voice rang out.

She was wearing a blue Cuiyan shirt, a scattered flower water mist green grass pleated skirt, and a light blue Cui Shui thin smoke gauze draped over her shoulders. Her shoulders seemed carved, her waist was as if bound, her skin was like congealed fat, and her aura was like a hidden orchid.

It was the school beauty, Leng Yanxi.

If anyone were present, they would definitely be surprised by this revelation: the famous school beauty was actually the Principal's daughter.

"Zhou En took down all thirty of Li Hui's lackeys."

"What?" Even with Leng Yanxi's arrogance, she couldn't help but exclaim.

Her cherry-like small mouth opened wide.

Girls' dormitory.

It was the wish of many boys to be able to enter the girls' dormitory for a glimpse, but many were unable to fulfill this dream.

"Sun Peiyu, come look at this."

"What? I still have homework to do," the glasses girl grumbled in dissatisfaction. But her curiosity got the better of her, and she walked over.

Upon seeing the video of Chubby's livestream, Sun Peiyu's heart trembled.

She was starting to regret it now, though she couldn't say why, she was just angry that she had agreed to Li Hui's condition of taking his money and lying.

Sun Peiyu couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.

"Perhaps this is what they mean by 'you reap what you sow'," Sun Peiyu murmured painfully.

Zhou En had originally wanted to keep a low profile, but with Chubby's livestream, it was impossible to do so.

However, Zhou En was currently in the hospital, waiting for Liu Yu to wake up.

"Mmm." With a muffled groan, Liu Yu slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake," Zhou En asked joyfully.

Liu Yu looked around, confused, and asked, "Where is this?"

Zhou En said, "This is the hospital. Don't you remember what happened this afternoon?"

Liu Yu reached out her delicate hand to cover her slightly dizzy forehead and said to Zhou En, "What happened afterward?"

Zhou En suddenly felt like he had been caught in the act of cheating, his face blushing as red as a large red cloth.

"Um, afterward, I took down everyone, but Li Hui still managed to escape."

Zhou En briefly recounted the events.

"Then how did I end up in the hospital?" Liu Yu asked, puzzled.

Zhou En's heart skipped a beat, but he still answered honestly, "I carried you here."

Hearing this, Liu Yu's pretty face blushed, and she spat, "Pervert."

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

"Li Hui was careless this time. Otherwise, he could have still used me to threaten you," Liu Yu said slowly after a long while.

Zhou En nodded.

"But Li Hui now clearly understands your weakness. If he undergoes intensive training targeting you this week, it will be very difficult for you to defeat him."

Although Zhou En found it uncomfortable to hear, it made sense.

There were no unbreakable moves in the world, and there were many ways to counter the Sun Character Consecutive Fist. Knowing only one move meant it could only be used for a surprise attack.

"Then Coach, can I learn another move?"

Liu Yu slowly lowered her beautiful eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"For you to win, you'll have to conceal the weaknesses of your current Sun Character Consecutive Fist."

Zhou En immediately put on a distressed face. This was as good as saying nothing. With his status as a martial arts novice, how could he possibly come up with a way to compensate for the weaknesses of the Sun Character Consecutive Fist?

"Liu Yu, I'm sorry about what happened today. How about I treat you to a meal another day?" Zhou En scratched his head. He could only try to appease Liu Yu now.

"Okay." Hearing this, Liu Yu's spirits immediately lifted, and she stared at Zhou En with sparkling eyes.

"I heard the food at a Honghu Restaurant in the city center is very good. Let's go there to eat then," Zhou En had only meant to be polite.

He hadn't expected this foodie to agree so readily. Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to agree so enthusiastically, do you? That's the city center!

As a member of a suburban school, Zhou En knew exactly what the prices in the city center meant. The dishes there were more than twice as expensive as those in the suburbs.

Zhou En immediately looked at Liu Yu pleadingly, hoping she could think of a solution.

Being stared at like that, Liu Yu's pretty face flushed, a rare occurrence. She put on a stern face and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know either."

Zhou En's heart sank to the bottom. The final selection for official team members was about to begin, and this had to happen.

"Liu Yu, will we still go?" After all, Liu Yu wasn't seriously injured and could be discharged from the hospital at any time.

Zhou En was extremely anxious now, just wanting to return to school quickly to ask Su Lin if he had any ideas.

He didn't dare to imagine how he would face his parents if he failed.

As if sensing Zhou En's mood, Liu Yu's beautiful eyes dimmed slightly, but she still nodded.

Since Liu Yu was still a bit groggy, Zhou En had to help her up. The soft, warm feeling he felt made him a little flustered.

After completing the discharge procedures, Zhou En took Liu Yu back to her apartment complex. Originally, Zhou En had wanted to find an opportunity to go inside and sit for a while, to see what a girl's boudoir looked like.

But Liu Yu shut him down with a single sentence.

"Only if you become an official team member first."

After dropping Liu Yu off, Zhou En rushed back to school without delay.

"Hey, Su Lin, are you at the club?" Zhou En asked Su Lin on the phone.

This time, Zhou En also wanted to see if Su Lin had any good ideas to compensate for the weaknesses of the Sun Character Consecutive Fist.

At the same time, he secretly resolved to study martial arts knowledge thoroughly, otherwise, he would always be this passive.

"I'm at the club. If you have something to discuss, just come over."

Zhou En found Su Lin's tone a little strange, but he didn't think too much of it.
