Changfeng Martial Hall!?

Those who could serve as security personnel in a large mall like Starlight Center were basically people from the Martial Dao circle, so the two of them had naturally heard of Changfeng Martial Hall.

Fang Lingjue, the head of Changfeng Martial Hall, was the only one from Canglong City in this Jiangzhou Martial Arts Competition who had a chance to break into the top ten.

You must know that the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Competition faced all nine cities in Jiangzhou, including the capital city Jiangzhou, which was full of experts.

If Fang Lingjue, the head of Changfeng Martial Hall, could break into the top ten, it would bring glory to Canglong City.

In the next few years, he would definitely be a hot figure in Canglong City's Martial World.

Starlight Center was in Canglong City, and they would inevitably have to deal with him in the future.

Upon realizing this, the attitudes of the two security guards immediately changed.

"You're a Martial Artist, right? He provoked and insulted you first, so you only retaliated?"

One of them asked.

Li Pin took out a screenshot of his Martial Artist certificate.

"Level 2 Martial Artist!?"

The security guard's pupils contracted.

The ID number on it...

A Level 2 Martial Artist at twenty-two years old!?

If he continued in this profession, he would at least be a Hua Jin expert in the future.

What if he embraced Qi into Dan later...

"It's alright, we'll go to the monitoring room to retrieve the surveillance footage and handle it. However, could you please leave your phone number?"

The security guard quickly made up his mind.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Li Pin said, left his phone number, and then left with Li Yunyao and Lin Xiaolu.

Jing Yunshan's screams continued, his face swollen high.

It was exactly as Li Pin had said, spreading rumors and getting slapped hard.

The students who had come with Jing Yunshan saw that the two security guards didn't stop Li Pin at all and just let him leave. They were immediately enraged.

A student who seemed to have some status at Hanyang University suddenly stood up. "Is this how your Starlight Center ensures customer safety? He hit someone, drew blood, and even chipped a few teeth, and you just let him walk away so brazenly? Who would dare to shop at your Starlight Center in the future?"

"We all witnessed what happened just now. That gentleman was visiting our Starlight Center with his friends, but he directly spoke rudely, provoked a Martial Artist, and verbally attacked him..."

The security guard who had spoken with Li Pin said loudly, "Are you saying that even if someone curses you to your face, you should just take it? Endure it? Or curse back like you did?"

His words drew a lot of agreement.

Although Taibai had many public order incidents due to Martial Artists, everyone had a tendency to admire the strong.

Moreover, Martial Artists were the assistants to Star Refiners, and powerful Martial Artists were at the forefront of defending against Fierce Beasts and Demonic Creatures, protecting the peace and stability within Taibai. People naturally had a higher degree of tolerance for Martial Artists.

"You guys..."

The student, who thought he was being heroic and righteous, flushed red, as if he were suffering some unfair treatment.

When the others heard that Li Pin was actually a Martial Artist, and recalling his fierce display just now, they immediately fell silent.

They were all student union members, more utilitarian than other students.

They already understood the concept of seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster.

"Looking at you, you seem to be students, right? Spreading vulgar language in public, is this the quality of today's students? Which school are you from? I'll find your Principal!"

The security guard spoke.

As soon as he said that, the righteous student also quieted down.

However, a female student turned her gaze to An Wanyi. "Wanyi, Yunshan was standing up for you. Can you ask your sister to put pressure on Starlight Center?"

"No."

An Wanyi quickly said, "It's not convenient for my sister to get involved in this matter."

As she spoke, she glanced in the direction Li Pin had left, a trace of fear hidden in the depths of her pupils.

An Youran was competing for the lead role in the major drama "The King's Woman."

It was said that a rich second-generation actress was also competing with her.

This was precisely why she had returned to Canglong City, planning to use the local advantage of Canglong City to showcase her popularity to Star Hall Entertainment.

If something like this happened now...

"Li Pin is a Martial Artist. What if he goes berserk and starts hitting people indiscriminately? Who among us can stop him? We should quickly call the hospital to treat Jing Yunshan's injuries, lest there be any lingering problems."

An Wanyi said in a low, rapid voice, "At the same time, we'll call the security department of the Garrison to deal with him."

The female student looked at Jing Yunshan, who was still screaming in pain with blood all over his mouth, and quickly nodded.

"Brother, are we really okay leaving like this?"

Outside Starlight Center, on a busy street.

This was the third time Li Yunyao had asked the same question.

"It's fine."

Li Pin replied patiently, "I know the law."

"But that person... he seemed to be the Vice President of your Hanyang University Student Union? And you're also a student at Hanyang University, are you really okay?"

Li Yunyao's eyes still held worry.

The Vice President of the Student Union.

"Trust me."

Li Pin said, stroking Li Yunyao's soft, smooth hair.

Mmm.

He had always thought before that if he had a sister, he would definitely have some of these warm interactions.

Now, he was finally satisfied.

As for Li Yunyao's worries...

He really didn't take them to heart.

There was no great matter in life worth sacrificing one's life for.

Different perspectives would limit people's different horizons.

A Hanyang University student, pointed at by a thousand fingers, feeling their reputation ruined, on the verge of dropping out, the immense pressure like the sky collapsing and the earth shattering, crushing their psychological defense, making them unable to bear it and jump into a lake to commit suicide.

But stepping out of the environment of Hanyang University, discarding the identity of a student, one would find that this trivial matter was not even worth a smirk.

A private university was insignificant even within Jiangzhou, let alone in the entire Taibai Kingdom.

Even if he were still an ordinary civilian, he wouldn't need to leave Jiangzhou. As long as he dropped out of school and walked out of Canglong City, the pressure from Hanyang University would vanish like smoke.

In life, one only needed to be responsible for oneself, without caring too much about the gaze of others.

If one could break free from a suffocating environment, they should do so directly. If not, they should leave first.

The world was vast, where could one not find a place to belong?

As Li Pin was stroking Li Yunyao's hair, he noticed her blinking, looking at him, her eyes sparkling.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Li Pin asked.

"Brother... you've really... changed a lot."

Li Yunyao said.

Li Pin realized he might have overstepped and scared her?

His smile unchanged, he quietly withdrew his hand. "So, do you prefer me the way I was before, or the way I am now?"

"Of course, it's now!"

Li Yunyao grabbed his hand, which he was trying to withdraw, and linked her arm through his. "I'm telling you, don't be unhappy, but I've always hoped that my brother would be sunny, handsome, cheerful, humorous, buy me whatever I want to eat, and when I'm in danger, stand up with a sense of security and beat up all the bad guys. Now, you basically fit all of that."

"If you want me to buy you snacks, just say so. You don't have to praise me indirectly."

Li Pin said with a smile.

"No, I'm really praising you."

Li Yunyao said coquettishly.

"Let's go, Yunxia Ancient Street."

Li Pin said.

Jing Yunshan's matter had not affected his mood in the slightest.

The new book would have a bit more slice-of-life content than previous books.
