Love Letter? No, This Is a Challenge!

The love letter was written in elegant handwriting.

"Ever since that day, I've kept you firmly in my heart.

"I hadn't planned to write this letter, but after hesitating for a long time, I still decided to do it.

"But now that I've done it, I don't know what to say. If you have time, come find me at xx.

"I'll be waiting for you there. When the time comes, I'll tell you how I feel."

"A love letter. This is absolutely a love letter. That woman Huo Wu must have been beaten into submission by Qin Qi."

After reading it, Dugu Yan immediately came to a conclusion. This was undoubtedly a love letter from a young girl in the bloom of youth.

"Qin Qi, when are you planning to go see her?"

Dugu Yan looked at Qin Qi with an eager expression, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"Hmph, Yan Yan, you're too innocent. Do you really think this is a love letter?"

Qin Qi snorted twice, then revealed a disdainful smile. He had already seen through the other side's scheme.

"Isn't it? Judging by the contents, it's obviously a love letter."

Dugu Yan read it over several times, but no matter how she looked at it, it was definitely a love letter.

"Yan Yan, you should read fewer romance novels in the future."

"How could something like getting beaten up and then falling in love with the person who beat you possibly happen in real life?"

"We're not into BDSM. Something like that is impossible."

Qin Qi shook his head. His gaze was incomparably clear, completely undisturbed by beauty.

"I have no idea what you're talking about. But if you say this isn't a love letter, then what is it?"

Dugu Yan did not understand what Qin Qi meant. She waved the letter in her hand and asked.

"This is a letter of challenge. This is a conspiracy!"

"The first sentence should be understood like this: ever since I defeated her that day, she has held a grudge against me!"

"At first, she didn't know how to take revenge on me, but after careful consideration, she decided to use a scheme!"

"She disguised a letter of challenge as a love letter to lure me out alone, then she'll bring people to gang up on me!"

"That way, she can vent the anger and hatred in her heart!"

Qin Qi reinterpreted the contents of the love letter, turning it into a challenge letter overflowing with malice.

"No way, is that woman really that despicable?"

Dugu Yan froze. Following Qin Qi's line of thought and pondering it again and again, she suddenly felt that this interpretation did make sense.

"Hmph, a green bamboo snake's mouth, a hornet's stinger—both are still bearable. But nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart!"

Qin Qi said this with deep conviction.

"Then, Boss, are you going or not?"

Shi Mo asked.

"I'm going. If I don't, won't that make it look like I'm afraid of her?"

"Go gather people for me. Since the other side has no sense of fair play, don't blame me for striking first!"

"This isn't a team battle. This is a straight-up fight. Call those people from the academy too."

"One more person means one more bit of fighting strength."

Qin Qi revealed a brilliant smile. The other side's scheme was very clever; if he had really been some ordinary kid, he might have fallen for it.

After all, it was precisely the age when young hearts began to stir. But unfortunately, this trick did not work on him!

"You're even more shameless and despicable!"

Dugu Yan gave Qin Qi a thumbs-up, then went to gather people. She made a round through the academy.

She dragged over everyone she encountered, gathering more than a hundred people in total.

Qin Qi led them out in a grand procession, heading toward the place he had arranged to meet Huo Wu.

Meanwhile, at the agreed-upon location.

"Boss, are you sure that Qin Qi guy will really come?"

A Godwind Academy student watched Feng Xiaotian pace back and forth and could not help asking.

"Don't worry. I wrote that love letter so sincerely, he'll definitely fall for it!"

"When he comes over full of anticipation, I'll step out and ruthlessly mock him for his stupidity."

"Then, when he attacks out of humiliation and anger, I'll crush him!"

"After that, I'll spread this matter everywhere and make him lose all face!"

"Finally, once Huo Wu finds out about this, she'll definitely admire me and become my girlfriend!"

Feng Xiaotian wore a mask, but he could not hide the smug look in his eyes.

"Boss, someone's coming!"

The Godwind Academy student assigned to keep watch suddenly spotted someone approaching and immediately spoke up.

"Alright, everyone hide. Wait for my signal."

Feng Xiaotian immediately led his people into hiding.

Not long after they hid, Qin Qi came over by himself and looked around.

"Since you're here, why are you hiding? Come out!"

Qin Qi shouted.

"Hmph, your observation skills are pretty sharp."

"But you still fell for my trick, you..."

Hearing Qin Qi's words, Feng Xiaotian immediately came out with his people, mocking Qin Qi as he walked.

But Qin Qi took the chance to whistle. In an instant, Heaven Dou Royal Academy students surged out from all directions.

"What did I do?"

Qin Qi looked at the mere seven members of Godwind Academy, somewhat confused. Where were the people from Blazing Fire Academy?

Could they be lying in ambush nearby? These guys were far too sneaky.

"Y-You brought so many people here for what?"

"You have no martial virtue!"

The smile on Feng Xiaotian's face instantly vanished. He estimated that there were at least a hundred people surrounding them.

If every one of them came up and punched him once, they could beat him to death.

"Boss, isn't this script wrong?"

"Why did this guy bring so many people?"

"Has our plot already been seen through?"

The Godwind Academy students immediately huddled into a circle, sweating profusely.

It was not that they were cowards; there were simply too many people on the other side.

"Although things are a little different from what I expected, I was roughly right."

"You guys are here to ambush me and gang up on me, aren't you? Since that's the case, I won't bother talking about honor with you either."

"Get them! Beat them up!"

At Qin Qi's command, over a hundred people charged forward at once, grabbing the other side and raining down punches and kicks.

"Don't hit my face, don't hit my face!"

"Waaah, I'm innocent! I'm a girl, don't hit me!"

"Boss, save me!"

The Godwind Academy students fought hard to resist, but Qin Qi's side simply had too many people.

After holding out for a while, they lost their ability to fight and were surrounded and beaten mercilessly.

"Qin Qi of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I'll remember you! Just you wait!"

"I won't let you off! I'll get revenge sooner or later!"

Feng Xiaotian struggled to crawl out from the crowd. He glared at Qin Qi with resentment and spoke.

"You're still making threats? Looks like you're still not convinced. Then go back and keep taking your beating!"

Qin Qi stepped forward and kicked Feng Xiaotian back into the crowd, shouting at the same time.

"Keep your eyes on that white-haired one! If you can't beat him to death, then beat him half to death!"

Qin Qi said.

For the next while, everyone surrounded Feng Xiaotian and kicked him in a circle, specifically aiming for his face. They forcibly turned a handsome masked man into a pighead.

"Pah. With this? You wanted to set me up? Go home and train for a few more years."

Qin Qi spat disdainfully a couple of times, then turned and left with his people. Why fight one-on-one when you could gang up on someone?

"Just you wait! I'll definitely get revenge, definitely..."

As Feng Xiaotian roared unwillingly in his heart, Huo Wu passed by with the people from Blazing Fire Academy.

"..."

Huo Wu looked at the Godwind Academy students, who had been beaten beyond recognition, then at Feng Xiaotian, whose face looked like a pighead.

She said nothing, merely pretending not to see them and leaving Godwind Academy with its last shred of dignity.

But the students of Heaven Dou Royal Academy had no such martial virtue. That very day, they spread news of the incident everywhere.
