Met a Benefactor at Such a Young Age

Before he had even finished speaking, two malicious gazes had already locked onto him.

Who else could they be? The two suckers who had just spent several hundred, of course.

Jiang Nannan froze for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, junior. You're right. I was too hasty. I apologize to you. I'm sorry."

As she spoke, she turned and walked out.

Five hundred Gold Soul Coins was undoubtedly an astronomical price for Jiang Nannan, who came from the bottom.

"Forget it. I'd better not grill fish here anymore. What a hassle."

Qian Chaoguang picked up the last remaining Grilled Fish and reached out to put it in his mouth.

"Kid, did you just call Nannan a hassle?"

A deep, powerful voice, filled with anger, suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, a figure strode over, quickly passing Jiang Nannan to arrive in front of Qian Chaoguang. He threw down a large bag of Gold Soul Coins, raised his hand, and grabbed for Qian Chaoguang's hand.

Qian Chaoguang's eyes sharpened. His Bloodline Power surged in an instant, and he kicked out.

Foot and hand collided with a muffled bang.

Qian Chaoguang pretended he was no match and retreated three steps in a row.

The tall young man in black did not have it easy either. With a muffled groan, he also retreated three steps.

From the young man in black's appearance to his attack, the entire process had been incomparably swift, so much so that the surrounding onlookers only reacted now.

"Xu Sanshi! What are you doing!"

The one who spoke was none other than Jiang Nannan.

At this moment, her face was already filled with shock and anger.

"Xu Sanshi, you've got some nerve, bullying my people? Do you have a death wish?"

Another delicate shout cut through the air, and Tang Sect Master Tang Ya made her grand entrance.

Her hands moved slightly, and two points of light instantly sank into Xu Sanshi's body.

Xu Sanshi had no time to defend himself. With a muffled groan, three Spirit Rings—two yellow and one purple—rose from beneath his feet.

Qian Chaoguang pulled Huo Yutong behind him, and all the tools for grilling fish had already been put into his Storage Soul Tool.

Seemingly intentionally and unintentionally, he kicked the bag holding the Gold Soul Coins, sending it into a corner off to the side.

Before Xu Sanshi could speak, Bei Bei walked through the crowded throng and said calmly, "Xu Sanshi, what are you trying to do to the people of our Tang Sect?"

"People of your Tang Sect?"

Bei Bei pointed at Huo Yutong. "This is my Junior Sister, and this is her elder brother. Tell me, are they not people of my Tang Sect?"

Xu Sanshi's body shook, and he pointed at Huo Yutong.

"She's your junior sister?"

Bei Bei nodded expressionlessly.

Xu Sanshi said coldly, "So what? They didn't give Nannan face, which means they didn't give me face. It's only five hundred Gold Soul Coins. Do you think I, Xu Sanshi, can't afford it? Besides, I already paid."

"Where's the money?"

Qian Chaoguang suddenly cut in.

"Isn't the money right—Kid! Where's my money?"

Xu Sanshi had just been about to say it was right on the table, but when he looked, the ground was completely empty. Even the table was gone.

Qian Chaoguang said evenly, "How would I know where your money is? Could I really have pocketed your Gold Soul Coins in front of so many seniors and vendors? A Fifth Grade Senior picking a fight and forcing a sale, is that it? Very good, Xu Sanshi. I'll remember you. See you at the Academic Affairs Office. School Rules, Article Fifteen, Clause Two. I hope your brain can understand what that means."

As he spoke, he turned toward the three suckers who had watched the show from up close earlier.

"Three seniors, you all saw Xu Sanshi attack me and my Younger Sister just now. I'd like to trouble the three of you to testify for me. I'll cover your Grilled Fish for three days, as much as you can eat."

Qian Chaoguang then turned his gaze toward the large circle of onlookers.

"If there are any other seniors, Senior Apprentice Sisters, or classmates willing to help testify, as well as all you big brothers and sisters doing business here, you can all come. There'll be enough Grilled Fish for everyone."

What?

There was such a good deal?

Thank you, nature, for this bounty!

The three exchanged glances and agreed with a roar.

The dozens of onlookers around them were equally eager to try.

After all...

Five hundred Gold Soul Coins for one fish really was damn expensive!

Not everyone had the family fortune to splurge like that.

The moment Xu Sanshi heard this, his expression changed instantly, going from pitch-black to deathly pale in less than half a second.

All the fire in him vanished without a trace, and cold sweat poured down his back.

Shrek School Rules: Outside the Soul Arena stage, any senior student who actively provokes or attacks a junior student will be expelled immediately upon discovery.

"Brother, brother, wait, don't go to the Academic Affairs Office. It was my fault, I was wrong, I'll reflect on it, I'm willing to compensate you, I'm willing to admit my mistake."

Seeing Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong turn to leave, Xu Sanshi could no longer care about embarrassment or face and hurriedly chased after them.

He was already a fifth-year student now.

If he really got expelled, that would be a colossal disgrace. His position as the Mystic Tortoise Family's Young Master would probably be finished, too. Even if his father was the Clan Leader, he wouldn't be able to protect him.

It was too damn humiliating.

"No need."

Qian Chaoguang looked at Xu Sanshi with an indifferent expression, not the slightest ripple in his gaze.

"You being removed from Shrek is the best compensation for me and my younger sister."

"Help me."

Driven into a corner, Xu Sanshi hurriedly cast a pleading look at Bei Bei and mouthed the words silently.

If their relationship got exposed, then so be it. Right now, he couldn't care less about whether he could still work the Soul Arena together with Bei Bei in the future.

If he didn't ask for help quickly, there would be no future left at all.

Bei Bei glanced at Qian Chaoguang's back and silently held up two fingers.

Tang Ya hadn't noticed earlier, but he had heard it from afar.

One Grilled Fish was five hundred Gold Soul Coins. From the looks of it, Chaoguang probably wasn't short on money, Bei Bei thought.

Two Mystic Water Pills?

You're way too ruthless!

Enduring the double agony of both body and soul, Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth and nodded hard. He took out two small porcelain bottles from his chest and quietly handed them to Bei Bei.

Only then did Bei Bei smile and chase after Qian Chaoguang and Huo Yutong.

The corners of Qian Chaoguang's mouth curved into a smile once again.

They had already swindled him out of two Mystic Water Pills?

In any case, Xu Sanshi's family was rich and powerful. Swindling a few more from him, and extorting some Gold Soul Coins while he was at it, shouldn't be difficult.

He'd just squeeze him for eighty to a hundred thousand or so.

As for actually getting Xu Sanshi expelled?

Forget it. If he really did that, it would be equivalent to offending the Mystic Tortoise Family to the death, and he might even offend the Douling Empire Royal Family along the way.

Before he had an absolutely solid backer, there was no need to go that far.

Xu Sanshi and Bei Bei thought their little "flirtatious exchange of glances" was hidden, but in truth, all of it was within Qian Chaoguang's Divine Sense monitoring. He had even predicted this outcome long ago.

Bei Bei caught up to Qian Chaoguang, who already had half a foot stepped into Shrek City, reached out to hand over the two porcelain bottles, and bent down as he said:

"Xiao Guang, can you give your big brother some face? I can have him compensate you and Yutong with one Mystic Water Pill each. This kind of pill is unique to Xu Sanshi's family. Even the few that occasionally circulate outside are worth ten thousand gold and are incomparably precious."

Qian Chaoguang stopped. After a brief pause, he reached out and accepted the two Mystic Water Pills, meeting Bei Bei's sincere gaze.

He smiled and said, "Brother Bei, you and Little Ya once helped me twice. I'm someone who always repays kindness. Since Brother Bei has spoken, how would I, your little brother, dare refuse?"
