After tidying my clothes, I walked outside. Sister Qian was probably still waiting for me. She must have misunderstood something earlier, and I had to explain.
This policewoman named Zi Yan is really troublesome, but fortunately, nothing serious happened.
But how does she know about the current system of strength classification? Could she be a cultivator? However, she didn’t have any True Qi on her, and although her attacks were strong, it was merely due to her physical strength.
The important question is whether her brother is powerful. Even though I haven’t known this girl for long, I’ve come to understand her straightforward personality: she says what she means and follows through. Normally, when someone wants to retaliate against you, they wait for a while until you’ve forgotten about it before coming back for payback. But not her—what happened yesterday, and today she’s already looking for me. Even knowing she can’t win, she still insists on challenging me one-on-one.
Forget it, forget it. I shook my head to clear my thoughts.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Zhang Dong, Zhao Tianfang, and Sister Qian drinking tea and chatting.
“Um… hello, everyone!” I honestly didn’t know what to say, so I mumbled awkwardly.
“Xia Tian is out. Young man, you should be more restrained!” Zhang Dong looked at me and laughed.
Restrain, my foot! I’m still a virgin, alright! I’ve even quit… ever since Mei’er showed up!
Zhao Tianfang glanced at me and sighed, “Sigh… You’ve really let me down.”
What the heck! What expectations did you have of me? Why don’t I understand a word you’re saying?
“Xia Tian, come out with me for a moment,” Sister Qian said, frowning slightly.
Seeing how serious she was, I had no choice but to obediently follow her outside.
“Xia Tian…” Once outside, she called my name, and I answered without saying more.
“I know you’re an adult now and may have certain… needs, but you shouldn’t act so openly in public…” Sister Qian started to lecture me, and I quickly interjected, “Sis, you’ve really misunderstood! Nothing happened between me and that policewoman!”
“You don’t need to say anything to me, just like Uncle Zhang said, you need to be more restrained in the future!” Sister Qian said earnestly.
I felt completely misunderstood. After all, the situation at the time really did look bad.
“What I’m curious about is, I heard from Uncle Zhang’s men that the policewoman fabricated a robbery case on Heping Street to bring you in because of a grudge. But how did the two of you end up…” Sister Qian trailed off, but her meaning was clear.
I replied helplessly, “Sis, I told you, you’ve misunderstood. That woman was trying to strangle me!”
“Alright, I believe you,” Sister Qian smiled at me. Now that’s the Sister Qian I know!
But before I could enjoy the relief, her next words almost made me want to bury myself alive.
“Still, you should be more restrained in the future!” Damn! Did she believe me or not?
Since I had classes, I chatted with Zhang Dong for a bit before getting into Sister Qian’s car and heading back to school. What puzzled me was that for some reason, every time Zhao Tianfang looked at me, she would sigh. I had no idea what she was thinking.
Since the next class wasn’t Sister Qian’s, she went back to the office, and I returned to the classroom.
As soon as I entered the classroom, the place buzzed with activity.
“Look, Xia Tian is back!”
“I told you, Xia Tian had nothing to do with that case.”
“See, I was right! I couldn’t find any robbery case on Heping Street online, but you all didn’t believe me!”
“Looks like Xia Tian was framed!”
“Exactly!”
I smiled helplessly, sighed, and sat down in my seat.
Sun Jing noticed me and smiled, “Desk buddy, everything okay now?”
“Yeah, everything’s fine. After all, that case had nothing to do with me.” Seeing Sun Jing’s sweet smile, I felt a bit lighter. This girl really knows how to spread positive energy!
“Then keep working hard, desk buddy! There are only a few days left until the college entrance exams!” Sun Jing pumped her fist in a cheering gesture and smiled.
“Yeah!” I nodded and picked up my textbook to start reading. Before doing so, I glanced at the backboard. Only seven days left until the exams.
As for the exams, I wasn’t too concerned. Given my grades, not even a deity could help me get into a top university in just a few days.
What I cared about was how many days were left until I could start training with Qin Shousheng.
Although my strength and mental power were strong now, I still lacked practical combat experience. Don’t be fooled by the many fights I’ve been in; without True Qi, I’d still be at a disadvantage against real experts.
Mei’er only taught me how to refine True Qi but didn’t give me any cultivation techniques or combat moves. At the moment, I was just someone who had one foot in the cultivation world, not a true cultivator.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Fatty and Zhang Yu dragged me outside.
“Idiot, let me ask you something!” Zhang Yu said seriously.
I was taken aback. “Go ahead.”
Zhang Yu pulled out a bank card and held it up. “Is the money in this card from a robbery?”
“I agree with Zhang Yu. You should return the money. Maybe they’ll reduce your sentence!” Fatty said seriously while munching on shrimp crackers.
What the heck is this about! I was speechless.
“What are you two thinking? If I were really a robber, would I still be here attending class?” I said, annoyed, looking at Zhang Yu and Fatty.
“Zhang Yu said that since you just won an award, it would look bad to arrest you now, so they might wait until after the college entrance exams to put you in jail!” Fatty pointed at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu stuffed the bank card into my hand. “Hand this over to them. With your previous achievements, you might get a lighter sentence, maybe even avoid jail time!”
Looking at Zhang Yu and Fatty, I was speechless but deeply moved. Zhang Yu’s mother was seriously ill and urgently needed money. Yet, even suspecting that I might go to jail, he didn’t hesitate to return the money to me. Although he was guessing wildly, it showed how much I meant to him.
“Alright! Stop imagining things. If I really were a robber, I’d k!ll you two to keep you quiet!” I joked.
When Zhang Yu and Fatty heard that, they realized I wasn’t involved in anything criminal, and their furrowed brows relaxed.
“Fatty, this idiot is insulting us. What should we do?” Zhang Yu looked at me but spoke to Fatty.
Fatty grinned mischievously. “Beat him up!”
“Let’s get him!” Zhang Yu and Fatty exchanged a glance and came at me.
I raised an eyebrow. “Just the two of you? I’m not afraid of you!” And with that, the three of us started wrestling.
“D*mn! Are you serious!” Zhang Yu actually pulled a cheap move, sneaking a hit at my weak spot. It hurt like hell!
