In the end, only Ye Chenliang was left, blankly running into the other party.

Witnessing dozens of swords wrapped in vital energy instantly vaporize, Ye Chenliang was terrified. The opponent's black flames could even melt iron; wasn't he, with his mortal body, just going up there to his death?

But he never expected that Yuan Wendong's sword would be so useless. Even a stone thrown into water makes a sound, but so many precious swords just disappeared like that?

By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late to brake, and he could only watch helplessly as he crashed into the black flames.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline suddenly appeared between the two men, grabbed him on the head, and stopped him instantly.

"You dare to mess with a fifth-rank official when you're only a third-rank one? Have you wasted all the knowledge you've gained over the years?" The somewhat balding middle-aged man cursed, then glared at Pei Mianman. "And you, is it necessary to be so ruthless between classmates?"

Pei Mianman withdrew the black flames from her body: "I'm standing here without moving. What can I do if he wants to rush over and die?" After saying that, she completely ignored the dean of students, who was feared by everyone in the school, and turned to leave.

Those who had just witnessed her abilities instinctively parted to make way for her in fear.

Zuan secretly clicked his tongue, thankful that Pei Mianman hadn't used her elemental powers last night, otherwise wouldn't he have been vaporized like those swords? No matter how powerful the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" was, it couldn't possibly save his life if it was burned to ashes, could it?

Dean Lu De glanced at Pei Mianman's retreating figure but said nothing. He then turned to Ye Chenliang with a completely different expression: "You're the ones causing trouble, aren't you?"

Ye Chenliang was terrified and hurriedly pointed at Zu An: "Teacher, it wasn't me, it was him causing trouble!"

Rude frowned and turned to look at Zuan: "It's you?"

Zuan shrugged: "I've been here the whole time without moving. They're the ones who've been jumping around looking for trouble. You can ask the people around here if you don't believe me."

The people around him echoed his sentiments. If they initially disliked this gigolo, after witnessing firsthand how far he had gone in his pursuit of wealth, with all four of the most beautiful women in the "Red Beauty Record" having connections to him, including the top two, Chu Chuyan and Pei Mianman, everyone was filled with deep admiration and respect for him, wishing he could teach them a move or two.

What Zuan didn't know was that decades later, the myth of him being a "gigolo" still circulated on campus, and some people were even unwilling to call him by his name, instead using "that man" to express their respect.

Seeing the students pointing him out, Lu De's face turned cold, and he took the ruler in his hand and started beating Ye Chenliang: "I've heard that you've been forming gangs and bullying the weak at school. Come here, today I'll show you what it means to win people over with virtue!"

The ruler in the dean's hand was even more severe than Chu Huanzhao's "wailing whip," causing Ye Chenliang to scream in agony. He felt extremely wronged, thinking that Yuan Wendong was the main force, so why was he the only one being hit?

However, he dared not say these words out loud. Yuan Wendong looked elegant, but he was actually ruthless. Now that he had been promoted to the fifth rank, he was someone Yuan Wendong could not afford to offend.

Lu De casually picked up Hong Xingying, who was lying on the ground, and said, "And you, you caused trouble on your very first day of school. Don't think that just because you're from the Chu family I won't dare to beat you up. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson about the school rules."

Hong Xingying was almost in tears. "I was the one who got beaten the worst!" he thought. He was new to the situation and didn't quite understand what was going on. He subconsciously pointed at Yuan Wendong beside him and asked, "Teacher, why aren't you punishing him?"

Yuan Wendong's eyes turned cold, but Lu De snorted: "He's a fifth-rank student, and what about you? I'm not afraid to say it here, any student who can break through to the fifth rank is a top-notch genius in the world. Such a person would be treasured anywhere. If any of you can break through to the fifth rank in the future, as long as you don't make any big mistakes, the school will turn a blind eye."

Zuan was secretly alarmed. It seemed that no matter which world it was, strength was the only right thing to do. His classmates around him were used to it and obviously knew about this unspoken rule.

After Rude finished speaking, he dragged the two screaming men away into the distance, causing the people around to gasp in horror.

Wei Suo, who was clinging to Zaun's leg, swallowed hard: "Boss, I was sweating bullets for you when you talked back to him. You know, guys who fall into the hands of 'Bright Peak' are either dead or skinned alive."

Zu An smiled and said, "Since Teacher Lu calls it 'winning people over with virtue,' then it must be about reason."

"Only you dare to reason with him." Xie Xiu walked over with a smile. "I thought I had been through countless romances, but I never expected that compared to my elder brother, I was just a small fry. He was able to win the favor of four beauties from the 'Beauty Records' at the same time. I am truly ashamed of myself. Let's get closer in the future and exchange our experiences."

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Xie. Don't you have one in your family too?" Zu An replied.

"Huh? How come I didn't know?" Xie Xiu was taken aback. Although there were many beautiful women around him, none of them could reach the level of those listed in the Record of Beauties.

“Isn’t your sister also in the Record of Beauties? When can Brother Xie bring her out so we can get to know her?” Zu An replied.

Xie Xiu almost choked on her breath: "Um... I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." Then, no matter how much he tried to persuade her to stay, she hurriedly left without looking back.

Zuan looked completely bewildered: "Why is he acting like he's seen a ghost?"

Wei Suo, standing to the side, looked on with admiration: "Boss, my respect for you is like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks. You're not satisfied with having those four women, and you even want to woo Young Master Xie's sister. You're doing what we wouldn't dare to dream of and what we can't do."
