Wendel came over as soon as Gu Shi stepped down from the ring. He and his friend were fighting in a ring next to him, and after the fight ended, he happened to see Gu Shi knocking his opponent out.
Wendell asked with a hint of curiosity, "Did that person offend you? It's rare to see you use such harsh force."
"He asked for it. I was watching someone else's fight, and then that guy came up to me out of nowhere and provoked me."
Gu Shi briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
Wendel was very surprised. "He came here specifically to cause trouble for you, but he didn't even bother to check your strength beforehand? Who gave him the courage to fight against such a high level?"
Gu Shi was also quite confused. He didn't try to hide it, so it would be quite easy to investigate his strength. Is Dean really stupid?
Gu Shi asked Wendell uncertainly, "Have you heard of this Dean Ferguson? I think there's something wrong with him."
Wendell thought for a few seconds, "Dean Ferguson? It's him. He's quite famous among us nobles."
Gu Shi asked: "How do you say that?"
"Because of some family affairs in their family, there was quite a big commotion at the time. Even us young people have heard the adults in the family talk about it.
Dean Ferguson is the second son of the Ferguson family. His mother is his father's second wife, and he has an older brother who was born to his father's first wife.
Gu Shi didn't hear anything wrong, "Isn't this quite normal?"
“I haven’t gotten to the point yet.
Dean's father was originally just a poor boy with no power, and his first wife was the eldest daughter of the Ferguson family.
No one knew what means he used to make Miss Ferguson fall head over heels in love with him. Although her parents disagreed, she still used various means to marry Dean's father.
He took the Ferguson name after his marriage."
"In the first few years after they got married, Dean's father pretended to be very good. But when the eldest daughter's parents passed away, and she herself was a weak and vulnerable person, Dean's father completely tore off his disguise and secretly drugged the eldest daughter in an attempt to poison her.
This incident caused quite a stir at the time, and almost all the nobles in the royal city had heard about it."
Gu Shi quickly asked, "What happened next? Wasn't Dean's father punished?"
Wendell's tone was also somewhat regretful. "Originally, the young lady did take some action, but then she suddenly had an accident, and the matter was left unresolved."
Gu Shi couldn't help but feel a little skeptical, "Is it really an accident?"
"Someone who was curious about the situation investigated and found out that it was indeed an accident, but it benefited Dean's father.
Because the eldest daughter was the only heir of the Ferguson family, he inherited the Ferguson family's property after the eldest daughter's death even though his marriage had not yet been dissolved.
Less than a month later, he married his second wife, who had an illegitimate child who was almost three years old and not even a few months younger than his eldest son.
This illegitimate child is Dean Ferguson."
Gu Shi didn't expect that this incident would involve such a big gossip.
After listening to what Wendell said, and considering the bad impression Dean himself gave him, Gu Shi suddenly felt that this family was not a good family.
"What about Ferguson's eldest son?"
Wendell pointed to a figure behind Gu Shi and said, "That's him. After his mother passed away, he was taken in by relatives on his grandmother's side.
Because of his childhood experiences, he is quite disgusted with his father's side. My friend told me that he causes trouble for his younger brother Dean in college every day.
In his father's eyes, he was a thorn in his side. For various reasons, after he became an adult, he tried to find ways to compete with his father for the Ferguson family's property.
Although the two of them are currently at a stalemate, he still has a good chance of winning. Who knows, one day his father might lose everything."
Gu Shi turned his head and took a look. The person Wendel was pointing at had a somewhat gloomy temperament, but for some reason he had a smile on his face.
Wendell suddenly clapped his hands. "Oh, I forgot the point while I was talking."
Gu Shi finally realized that he had originally wanted to ask about Dean's situation, but he didn't expect to be fascinated by listening to gossip.
Wendell analyzed, "Dean Ferguson is indeed somewhat arrogant and foolish, but he is definitely not as irrational as you describe. If he were really that stupid, he would have been killed by his brother long ago.
He acted like that in front of you, probably because he wants to do something to you. He also has a bad reputation in the Royal Magic Academy. He always brings a group of people around to cause trouble.
I have heard that he threatened to become a disciple of Mr. Burns. I don't know where he got this confidence from. People who knew about this secretly laughed at him.
Although this happened a few years ago and he has come to terms with the situation, given his personality, he's probably taking his anger out on you. He's probably bothering you because of this incident."
Gu Shi nodded and agreed, "He also told me something like 'If I lose in the ring, I'll quit my sect.'"
Wendell was also surprised, "Huh? Is he serious?"
Gu Shi waved his hands. He couldn't understand Dean's train of thought. "Who knows what he's thinking?"
Wendell patted Gu Shi's shoulder and comforted him, "It's troublesome to be entangled with such people. You should hide for a while. Anyway, we will be back in two days.
If he succeeds in using some of his tricks, even if it doesn't cause you any harm, it will still make you feel disgusted."
Gu Shi thought about it and said, "Anyway, the battles over the past two days have no meaning to me. I'll just find a corner and stay there."
The two chatted for a few more words and then separated. Wendel continued to look for someone to fight, while Gu Shi found a secluded corner to read a book as he had said.
"You useless thing, how come you can't even do such a small thing!"
Gu Shi was engrossed in reading a book when suddenly a roar interrupted his thoughts. He frowned angrily, wondering why he was so unlucky today.
Gu Shi didn't walk too far because he was worried about missing the gathering. Most of the students were in the arena area, and he was sitting behind a small rest room nearby.
The voice that Gu Shi heard just now came from inside the house. To be honest, the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Gu Shi really wanted to see what was going on inside the house through the window outside, but because of the light, the probe was too obvious, so he had to find another way.
