Zuan cursed under his breath, thinking, "This guy really has no loyalty."
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw that fat man, Manyu, embellishing the story to a young man. The young man was blocking the way, staring at him with a gloomy expression: "So you're the one called Zu'an?"
“I am your father,” Zuan replied.
Ye Chenliang's anger level increased by 555!
Clearly, this gloomy-faced young man was Ye Chenliang, the powerful figure Man Yu had mentioned in the grove earlier.
"Very well, you have successfully provoked my anger." Ye Chenliang cracked his knuckles, and it had been a long time since anyone had dared to speak to him like that, especially since the other party was from the lowest-ranking Yellow Class.
Zuan shrugged: "All you do is talk big? Go ahead and bite me if you dare."
Ye Chenliang's anger level increased by 666!
A cold glint flashed in Ye Chenliang's eyes, and he was about to make a move when a mocking voice came from the side: "As a classmate, I'm just kindly reminding you that openly fighting on campus will get you expelled."
Zu An turned around and saw a man with feminine features standing not far away, smiling. It was Xie Xiu, whom he had met briefly at the school gate before.
Ye Chenliang's breath hitched. Although Xie Xiu was an incompetent fool, he was still the son of the city lord, and he couldn't afford to offend the Xie family. So he had no choice but to hold back and coldly said to Zu An, "Fine, I challenge you to a duel!"
Zuan rolled his eyes: "You just call it a duel? How embarrassing would that be for me? I refuse!"
Ye Chenliang was furious: "You don't even have the guts to accept a duel? What kind of man are you!"
Anger value from Ye Chenliang +777
At this moment, Xie Xiu spoke up again: "A duel requires the consent of both parties; no one can force it."
Zuan knew he was being reminded on purpose, but he had already been warned by the beautiful headmistress before, so he wouldn't fall for it.
A hint of resentment flashed in Ye Chenliang's eyes as he coldly looked at Xie Xiu: "Second Young Master Xie, this matter has nothing to do with you, does it?"
Xie Xiu smiled slightly: "It's alright, but as a senior, is it okay for me to remind the new junior?"
Ye Chenliang snorted, but since he couldn't do anything about it, he could only focus his attention on Zu An: "Everyone says that Miss Chu was blind to marry a good-for-nothing. I didn't believe that someone like Miss Chu would be so blind, but after seeing her today, she really is a good-for-nothing who only knows how to talk big."
There were already quite a few people watching. At first, everyone just thought that Ye Chenliang was bullying the younger students again. Because Zu An had a decent appearance, everyone subconsciously sided with Zu An.
But when they heard that he was the good-for-nothing son-in-law that the Chu family had recruited, the group's eyes immediately changed. The men's eyes were filled with hostility and jealousy, and the women's eyes were filled with disdain. Obviously, they also looked down on the good-for-nothing. What use is being handsome?
When Zuan saw the long string of anger points in the background, he thought to himself that his cheap wife was really popular. Just by learning about his identity, these men had contributed thousands of anger points.
"So that's why. So you're also an admirer of Chu Yan. No wonder you're so hostile towards me." Zu An looked at Ye Chenliang with a grin, then suddenly thought of the "Ten Beauties of the Red Beauty Record" that Wei Suo had mentioned. "If I could seduce them all, wouldn't all the men in the school be constantly providing me with anger points?"
"Shut up! Trash like you doesn't deserve to mention Miss Chu's name!" Ye Chenliang was breathing rapidly. He was actually quite self-aware. Although he was considered popular at school, it was only because the young masters of truly powerful families didn't bother with him. Compared to the geniuses in the top class, he was still lacking.
So, although he had admired Chu Chuyan all these years, he knew he couldn't compete with the other young masters from noble families. He had already given up hope, but a few days ago he learned that his goddess had married a well-known good-for-nothing in the city, which made him insanely jealous.
Today, he learned from Manyu that the guy who stole his spirit stones was actually that bastard. He felt this was a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation and, in front of the whole school, utterly humiliate the other guy, making Miss Chu realize that this good-for-nothing was not worth entrusting her life to. She should choose him instead of this guy.
Zu An sighed: "She's my wife, I'm not qualified to mention her, but do you, an unrelated person, have the right to mention her?"
Ye Chenliang took a deep breath. Seeing the agitated crowd around him, he gradually calmed down: "I won't argue with you. Miss Chu is the goddess in all of our hearts. But you don't even have the courage to duel with someone. How are you worthy of her? You might as well get lost."
"One last question for you: are you going to compete or not?"
People around shouted, "If you don't want to compete, get out of the Chu family!"
"How could such a good-for-nothing be worthy of Miss Chu!"
"What kind of man is he!"
"What kind of man is he!"
"What kind of man is he!"
...
At first, everyone was cursing at each other, but later, someone shouted something, and suddenly everyone's voices were unified.
Zu An was secretly overjoyed. These classmates were really cute. Even though they were complete strangers, they kept contributing anger points to him. He glanced at them and saw that he had gained several thousand anger points.
"Nonsense, he's more of a man than any of you!"
Just then, a beautiful red figure ran over and blocked his way.
Zu An was stunned. The little girl in front of him was actually Chu Huanzhao. He didn't expect her to come out and stand up for him. It seemed that the beating he suffered that night was worth it.
The others obviously recognized Chu Huanzhao's identity as well. This girl was a celebrity at school. Besides being Chu Chuyan's younger sister, she was also ranked ninth in the list of beauties. Plus, she carried this "Wailing Whip" every day, so it was hard not to recognize her.
