Repay Him in His Own Coin

Bai Hui looked at Zhu Juntang; this wasn't the first time she had seen Zhu Juntang being bullied by Liu Chang'an.

Every time Zhu Juntang was bullied, she would look so pitiful and wronged with tears in her eyes, making Bai Hui feel that Liu Chang'an was simply inhuman. How could he bring himself to hurt such a beautiful and lovely fairy?

Today was the same again.

Bai Hui couldn't understand why Zhu Juntang kept hanging around Liu Chang'a Zhu Juntang definitely not the kind of guy who would "not hit Liu Chang'an," and that even acting cute or adorable at crucial moments wouldn't work—he would bully people without hesitation.

Zhu Juntang doesn't seem like some girls who secretly admire Liu Chang'an and always like to get close to Liu Chang'an... Bai Hui refers to Yan Qingcheng.

Bai Hui knew Yan Qingcheng, since the two classes had held a joint event, and Yan Qingcheng and Bai Hui were the leaders of their respective classes, so they naturally had some contact.

Bai Hui could tell that Yan Qingcheng definitely liked Liu Chang'an. She always acted aloof and arrogant, but in reality, she was intentionally or unintentionally getting close to Liu Chang'an.

"What did you do to her?" Bai Hui pulled Zhu Juntang behind her to protect her. Although Bai Hui and Zhu Juntang were the same age, she couldn't help but feel the strong urge of an older sister to protect her younger sister when faced with such an innocent and lovely little fairy like Zhu Juntang.

Bai Hui simply couldn't understand it. Zhu Juntang was so beautiful and lovely; she should be loved by everyone and admired by all. How could Liu Chang'an show her no tenderness whatsoever?

"I've mastered a set of palm techniques passed down from a famous martial arts swordsmanship school in the Song Dynasty. It can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, beautify the skin, and regulate yin and yang. I just demonstrated it on her. Didn't she say her face was swollen?" Liu Chang'an leisurely asked Bai Hui for a pack of wet wipes.

Although it wasn't obvious, the girl actually had a lot of stuff on her face, so Liu Chang'an had to wipe his hands. Girls always carry wet wipes, cotton pads, tissues, and the like in their bags, so he could always ask for some.

Bai Hui glared angrily at Liu Chang'an as she put away the remaining wet wipes. "If it's a sword sect, how can it be a palm technique? Nonsense!"

"Ignorant!" Liu Chang'an retorted. "Shaolin has seventy-two unique skills, and the Five Mountains Sword Sects also have internal energy cultivation methods, fist techniques, and palm techniques. Why can't a sword sect have palm techniques? In this ancient sword sect, apart from the Sect Master, all the other members are women. It is only natural that the sect's palm techniques have such effects."

Bai Hui fell silent. She gave up arguing with Liu Chang'an about these nonsensical things, knowing full well that he was good at rambling and making things up.

"Then I want to learn!" Zhu Juntang said with tears welling up in her eyes as soon as she heard something that interested her.

Bai Hui let out a long sigh of relief. How did she end up delivering herself to their doorstep again?

"I won't teach," Liu Chang'an refused.

"I want to learn!" Zhu Juntang nudged Liu Chang'an's arm with her head.

"Didn't you just say you didn't need to learn any skills?" Liu Chang'an pressed her head down. She really was an Immortal Sheep, and she had even learned to butt people with her head. It was a pity she didn't have horns.

"You can choose not to learn how to fight, but how can you not learn how to beautify and nourish your skin?" Zhu Juntang said firmly.

Bai Hui sighed as she looked at Zhu Juntang, who showed no signs of learning her lesson.

Liu Chang'an did not agree to the formality, but he did agree that if Zhu Juntang's face became swollen and she needed beauty treatments, he could continue to perform a set of palm techniques on her. Zhu Juntang happily agreed to this.

Bai Hui finally understood. This was a classic case of one person willing to hit and the other willing to be hit. What could she do? From now on, Chirp Zhu Juntang cried again, Bai Hui would not pity her and would join her in angrily rebuking Liu Chang'an. Zhu Juntang had clearly brought this on herself.

Bai Hui led Zhu Juntang back to the rest area and carefully examined Zhu Juntang's pretty face. She confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her, and her skin did indeed appear more firm and delicate, smooth like a peeled egg.

Combining Liu Chang'an's description of the palm technique with her own original prediction, and the "slap slap slap" sound, Bai Hui confirmed that Liu Chang'an had not taken off Zhu Juntang's skirt and done anything, but had instead slapped Zhu Juntang's face countless times.

Just like when Bai Hui went back to her hometown in the countryside when she was very young, they would make glutinous rice cakes during the Spring Festival. First, they would put the glutinous rice balls into a stone trough that was smeared with a layer of lard and pat them countless times until the rice balls became shiny and smooth.

It's probably based on the same principle.

It really works! Bai Hui touched her face. Although she felt a bit silly for being proven wrong countless times, if it really did have beauty and skin-nourishing effects... it didn't seem so unacceptable. So Bai Hui glanced at Liu Chang'an.

"You want to learn palm techniques too?" Liu Chang'an noticed Bai Hui looking at him.

Bai Hui quickly shook her head subconsciously. She wanted to, but couldn't admit it unless Liu Chang'an dragged her into the small room and forced her to accept it.

"Let me tell you, the ancient sect he mentioned really exists." Zhu Juntang said mysteriously to Bai Hui. She was certain that Liu Chang'an was referring to the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect. Just like now, the two protectors and the Saintess of the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect were all girls. The fact that all the disciples of the ancient Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, except for the Sect Master, were girls was a long-standing tradition.

Although Zhu Juntang was merely Immortal Sheep Protector under the Saintess, and somewhat different from Qin Yanan, who was a sect protector, she was still a protector, wasn't she?

This is on a completely different level from the ordinary interns and helpers of the past.

If Bai Hui also wants to join the Nine Provinces Wind and Thunder Sword Sect, Zhu Juntang thinks Bai Hui can start as an elite member, but it's a pity that Bai Hui doesn't have superpowers.

Does having huge breasts count as a superpower? Zhu Juntang decided that if Bai Hui applied, she could use this reason to speak up for Bai Hui.

"You're completely fooled by him, believing everything he says?" Bai Hui, though sometimes feeling confused herself, thought the whole sword sect thing was utter nonsense.

"Have you forgotten that Liu Chang'an is the number one martial arts master in Junsha? The palm technique he learned is an ancient one, originally taught to his wives by Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong had many wives, so this palm technique was very popular. He beat his wives every day to maintain their unparalleled beauty." Zhu Juntang deduced this from the book she had recently been reading, "A Step into the Past." She had Zhong Qing buy the book before, and she had flipped through it out of boredom during her confinement. What Zhu Juntang was somewhat dissatisfied with was that since it was a book that fabricated history, why didn't they make up a story about Jing Ke stabbing Crown Prince Dan three times? That way, she could have a reasoned argument with Liu Chang'an.

"This is getting more and more absurd! Xiang Shaolong is a fictional character!" Bai Hui had actually read "A Step into the Past" as well. For a beautiful young girl to read such a book during puberty always brought some embarrassing scenes that she couldn't bear to recall.

"Don't make up a backstory for me." Liu Chang'an didn't want Zhu Juntang to associate him with Xiang Shaolong; it was bad luck.

The three chatted for a while before seeing Qian Ning, Lu Yuan, and Bai Rui walking over together, with another girl in a Lolita dress holding Lu Yuan's hand.

Lu Yuan subconsciously tried to struggle, but the girl held him tightly. Only then did Lu Yuan seem to realize something, and he looked at Bai Hui with a sense of loss.

"You're back." Bai Hui greeted Lu Yuan with a smile, and then nodded to Qian Ning and Bai Rui.

Even though they had a falling out, girls are always willing to put on a show.

Zhu Juntang glanced at the expressions on the faces of the people opposite her, sensing that there was more to the story.

For example, she noticed a girl peeking at Liu Chang'an. The girl's boyfriend gave Manager Sima Bai Hui a complicated look before staring at his girlfriend with a blank expression. Meanwhile, another couple was watching. The girl in the Lolita dress was full of hostility and comparison, and her subtle actions were always showing off her dress. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, had a wandering gaze, looking like a sentimental young man lost in a love affair.

Her "grandfather" still possessed the most refined and noble demeanor. Both boys seemed to like Bai Hui, but with Liu Chang'an in the background, how could Bai Hui possibly see the drama in their eyes?

"This is my girlfriend, Lin Li. We go to the same school. She came back with me to attend my wedding," Lu Yuan introduced. He attends a branch campus of a world-renowned university in the coastal region, a compromise for studying abroad. The tuition is very high, and most people can't afford it.

"Hello everyone." Lin Li smiled, her gaze lingering on the three people opposite her for a moment before finally settling on Bai Hui.

It's said that the girl her boyfriend has liked for many years has a great figure, but when she wears most Lolita dresses, apart from her calves, you can't really see any of the exquisite details of her figure.

The reason Lin Li could identify Bai Hui was, of course, because of the Bai Hui bag she was carrying. Lin Li already knew that Bai Hui was a wealthy young woman, while the other Lolita fashion enthusiast next to her, with an innocent smile and empty hands, was probably just a poor girl.

Lin Li wasn't rich before, but now she has a wealthy boyfriend, so she looks down on girls who clearly don't have much money but still like to jump into the Lolita fashion craze.

As for the boy next to this poor Lolita girl, he was tall and slender, probably the Liu Chang'an that Bai Rui had been mentioning repeatedly during their conversations these past few days... He had a good presence, but wasn't as handsome as Cai Guangkun.

"These are my friends Zhu Juntang and Liu Chang'an." Bai Hui introduced the two people to Lin Li and Zhu Juntang to Lu Yuan.

"Liu Chang'an, is she your girlfriend?" Bai Rui had heard of Zhu Juntang from Qian Ning. There was a girl named Zhu Juntang at Xiangtan University who often traveled to school by helicopter and Rolls-Royce. Bai Rui stared at Zhu Juntang and asked Liu Chang'an with some gossip.

Although Bai Rui was deceived by Liu Chang'an last time, it doesn't matter if such a unique boy is deceived by him once.

Girls often enjoy being tricked by boys, and they usually end up in bed with them.

"Who are you?" Liu Chang'an didn't deny it directly. No one would mind if he and his mount were mistaken for a couple. Even An Nuan didn't consider Zhu Juntang a jealous person, so Liu Chang'an had no need to explain anything to a stranger.

Bai Rui was stunned. This person didn't even remember who she was?

"Liu Chang'an, we just met last time, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?" Qian Ning said angrily. Bai Rui had been playing with his phone and had seen Bai Hui's social media profile. She knew that Bai Hui was a guest at the comic convention today, so she insisted on coming. Qian Ning didn't want to come in the first place, and he certainly didn't expect to see Liu Chang'an... What really bothered Qian Ning was that he suspected that Bai Rui had called out Liu Chang'an's name once when they were intimate, but Qian Ning hadn't heard it clearly at the time and wasn't sure. Not wanting to argue with Bai Rui, he had been holding back his anger.

"He's naturally noble, why would he need to pretend? Does he have to remember you, you stupid dog, just because we've met? Last time my dog bit someone, I couldn't even remember what that person looked like." Zhu Juntang thought for a moment, and indeed couldn't remember, so she added, "I tried hard to think, but I still can't remember."

Zhu Juntang made a mistake. She thought Liu Chang'an didn't know Qian Ning either. In fact, Liu Chang'an just didn't remember Bai Rui. After all, men can become familiar with a person's appearance through long-term interaction, but if a woman is not good-looking, it is very difficult for Liu Chang'an to remember her after only one meeting.

"You... Zhu Juntang, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money. Watch your mouth!" Qian Ning's face turned red. Which student at Xiangtan University didn't know Zhu Juntang?

"How rich is she? Richer than Lu Yuan?" Lin Li proudly linked arms with her boyfriend, scoffing. The Lolita dress the girl in front of her was wearing wasn't a high-end Japanese brand, or even one of the well-known domestic brands. It was obviously some unknown brand that focused on design and patterns.

"The Lu family? The Lu family that ranked third on this year's Forbes list of richest Chinese people?" Zhu Juntang thought for a moment. She knew about the Lu family. The youngest daughter of the Lu family was very cute, but she had no recollection of whether there was a male heir like the one in front of her.

Lu Yuan blushed. His family had some money, but they had nothing to do with the Forbes list.

"What Forbes list? Is your family one?" Lin Li said angrily. She felt that this "poor family with a single field" was trying to raise the bar for the wealthy, to prove that Lu Yuan's family wasn't exactly rich.

"Yes, that's my family." Zhu Juntang nodded. "Our family is number one."

That list is very entertaining because many assets controlled by the Zhu Family actually be directly attributed to them. However, the list is based on information obtained by the person who created it, rather than on assets registered under their name.

"You're really just bragging without thinking!" Lin Li smiled and looked at everyone, seeking a shared sense of mockery.

But she found that apart from herself, it seemed that no one showed even the slightest doubt or ridicule towards Zhu Juntang. On the contrary, they were facing her with all sorts of meaningful looks and expressions.

"You... know her?" Lin Li stared blankly at her boyfriend Lu Yuan, who had turned his head away.

"I've heard of her." Lu Yuan nodded. He learned about Zhu Juntang's name when Qian Ning gossiped about some things at Xiangtan University.

Lu Yuan wasn't sure if Zhu Juntang was the eldest child in her family, but it seemed unlikely that a girl who frequently traveled to school by helicopter and in a custom-made extended Rolls-Royce would boast like that.

It's certain that Lu Yuan wouldn't dare tell Zhu Juntang that he was rich.

"You guys can go now, I need to prepare for the performance." Bai Hui sighed softly, looking at Qian Ning and Lu Yuan's expressions, her heart filled with mixed feelings, and gestured for them to leave.

Bai Hui knew that Qian Ning and Lu Yuan harbored some resentment and bitterness, otherwise they wouldn't have repeatedly brought their girlfriends to Bai Hui. They simply wanted to prove that even if they didn't pursue Bai Hui, they could still find good girlfriends, and that Bai Hui had nothing to be ashamed of.

Despite some disappointment... Bai Hui is becoming less and less angry about what they and their girlfriends are doing.

Because I'm increasingly able to understand their feelings and mindset.

What you do will ultimately come back to you.

I recommend a book called "The Strongest Son-in-Law in History." It's an incredibly satisfying read, full of non-stop bragging and face-slapping.
