After Gao Han left the school gate, two people standing under the shade of a tree not far away saw this scene.
"What are you looking at?" Wei Kaiyang leaned lazily against a tree. Seeing the person next to him staring at the direction Gao Han left, he asked knowingly with a scornful smile on his face.
Yuan Chenlin put away his undisguised look of resentment. After twenty days, he finally saw his enemy again.
After Gao Han killed Sun Qiang and others, he returned to Yuan's house and was severely scolded by his father.
Yuan Tang also joined forces with several uncles to pull him down and make him lose his qualification as heir. Fortunately, although his father was disappointed in him, he was his biological son after all, and finally he overcame all objections and retained his qualification as heir.
Yuan Chenlin suffered a setback, and after the crisis was resolved, he decided to go to the imperial capital to seek revenge on Gao Han.
Unexpectedly, just two days after he arrived in the imperial capital, people from the Spirit Refiners Association suddenly came to his door and said that someone had reported him for using the banned substance Sanguinang.
The answer to who reported him is already obvious.
Yuan Chenlin thought that they had no evidence and would release him after a few days.
As a result, by the fifth day, they still showed no intention of releasing him, so he panicked and quickly called his father, who scolded him again.
Because the news leaked out and was known by Yuan Tang and Shishu, his father could no longer protect him this time and his qualification as heir was deprived.
Yuan Zhenghao couldn't reach as far as the imperial capital, so he had to ask for help from the master's family. Only now did he leave that damn place.
He stayed in the prison of the Soul Refiners Association for a full twenty days.
The first time he saw Gao Han, all his new and old hatreds were like boiling water, steaming out even hotter steam, which made him unable to calm down for a long time. Only when Gao Han died could he feel at ease.
"He is Gao Han!" Yuan Chenlin became extremely jealous when he saw his enemy.
Wei Kaiyang sneered, "Of course I know he is Gao Han, and I also know you are a loser. After all this time, you still can't handle a person abandoned by the family. If your father wasn't the head of the branch, you would be waiting to sit in the prison of the Soul Refiner Association."
Yuan Chenlin looked embarrassed. He didn't dare to blame Wei Kaiyang for his hurtful words. He could only blame all the humiliation he had suffered on Gao Han.
"What does Master Yuanzhe need me to do?"
Yuan Chenlin was very self-aware. He knew that Yuan Zhe sent Wei Kaiyang, whom he trusted the most, to pick him up, and he must have something to ask him.
Wei Kaiyang looked at him with a strange expression, "Don't you know that Gao Han is Yuan Zhengrong's son?"
Yuan Chenlin's expression suddenly changed. "Impossible! How could he be Yuan Zhengrong's son?"
"So you are really stupid. You didn't even find out the enemy's identity before you rashly dealt with him." Wei Kaiyang said sarcastically.
Yuan Chenlin had heard the name Yuan Zhengrong from his father, who was an uncle who was exiled to Qing City by the master's family.
Because of some ulterior motives of Yuan Zhenghao, Yuan Zhengrong later left the branch family and there was no news of him again. Many people thought he was dead, but they didn't expect that he was actually Gao Han's father.
Doesn't this mean that he and Gao Han are cousins?
Yuan Chenlin's face was gloomy. What a damn cousin! He now wished he could eat his blood and drink his flesh.
"What exactly does Young Master Wei want to say? Young Master Yuan Zhe asked me to come here. What's the matter?"
Seeing that he was slowly calming down, Wei Kaiyang stopped beating around the bush and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you used the bone powder on Gao Han, right?"
Considering the grudge between the two, there is no one else except Gao Han.
"Yes, but I didn't see him eat the bone powder with my own eyes." Seeing that Gao Han was full of energy, Yuan Chenlin thought that he had not been infected, and his face became even gloomier.
"Azhe guessed that he was indeed poisoned by the bone powder." Wei Kaiyang sneered.
Yuan Chenlin's eyes suddenly lit up, but then he felt it was unlikely and shook his head: "It's impossible for him to be alive today after being poisoned by bone powder twenty days ago."
Wei Kaiyang's face darkened: "Are you questioning Azhe's judgment?"
"I dare not." Yuan Chenlin denied awkwardly.
Wei Kaiyang snorted coldly, "I don't know what means he used, but his cultivation level did decline in the competition with Chen Siqin a few days ago. Obviously, this is the effect of the bone powder. Since he made a lot of money by refining magic tools in Qing City before, it won't be difficult to find a wood spirit refiner to help him treat it after arriving in the imperial capital."
"So that's how it is." Yuan Chenlin said dryly.
"Azhe has already asked someone. Bone powder is a very stubborn drug. It takes at least a month to expel it from the body. It has only been 20 days now, which means he is not well yet. His cultivation will continue to decline. I am afraid that he was lucky to win against Chen Siqin the first time. It may not be the same next time."
Yuan Chenlin immediately understood the hidden meaning of Wei Kaiyang's words, "Young Master Wei is saying that we should strike first before he recovers?"
Wei Kaiyang nodded, "That's right, so next, it's your turn to perform. Azhe rescued you, so you have to repay him well. With Gao Han's current strength as a fifth-rank subordinate, if you lose again, you won't have to appear in front of Azhe in the future."
Yuan Chenlin had never seen the match between Gao Han and Chen Siqin. When he heard that Gao Han was only at the lower fifth level of cultivation, the slight hesitation in his heart disappeared.
"Please ask Young Master Wei to tell Young Master Yuan Zhe to rest assured that I will never let Gao Han go. If he dares to accept the challenge, I will kill him in the ring."
The school has a rule that no killing is allowed during competitions, except in life-and-death matches. Both parties have signed an agreement that if either party dies in the ring, the other party cannot be held responsible, and this agreement has legal effect.
"Very good, I'll wait for your good news." Wei Kaiyang walked away with a smile on his face.
When he got back, he told Yuan Zhe the good news.
"Azhe, that idiot agreed to challenge Gao Han to a life-and-death battle."
"Well done." Yuan Zhe nodded with a smile.
Wei Kaiyang didn't understand. "But do we really need to go to so much trouble? Is a discarded child of the Yuan family worthy of your attention?"
After that day, they didn't find out why Gao Han's skills suddenly became so powerful. They could only speculate that he started to play the pig and eat the tiger after being taken back by the Tang family.
"If he was a spirit refiner, it wouldn't matter, but he is a weapon master who has alienated the Yuan family."
Yuan Zhe wanted to strangle the person in the cradle, but it would be very troublesome if the person died in school. Some people in the higher-ups have been dissatisfied with the Yuan family for a long time, and he would not take the initiative to hand the handle to them. Wei Kaiyang didn't know all this, and he didn't intend to tell too many people.
"I see. So you want to use Yuan Chenlin as a chess piece to test the waters first and determine whether Gao Han is qualified for you to take action personally, right?" Wei Kaiyang asked excitedly.
Yuan Zhe nodded gently, "Not bad."
Wei Kaiyang suddenly received a message on the communicator on his wrist. After reading the message, his eyes lit up. "He has sent a life-or-death challenge to Gao Han."
Not long after the match between Gao Han and Chen Siqin, the aftereffect had not yet completely disappeared, when suddenly a life-and-death post targeting him popped up, and the forum exploded again.
There is a huge difference between a life and death match and a challenge match. People will die in the former, but in the latter there is a referee supervising and no one can die, so the number of onlookers must be less than the former. Now there are many people leaving messages under the post.
"What kind of hatred or grudge is that? Recently, this first-year student named Gao Han has been appearing a lot."
"First it was a challenge match, and now it's a life-and-death battle. How much do they hate each other!"
"Yuan Chenlin? I remember he is from the Yuan family. Did Gao Han offend the Yuan family in the imperial capital?"
"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. Yuan Chenlin is a branch of the Yuan family. He hasn't been here since the beginning of the school year. I heard that he was thrown into the prison of the Soul Refiners Association. It seems that he used contraband."
"Only evil people would use contraband."
"The Yuan family is not good people. I support Gao Han in this battle!"
"Support Gao Han +1."
"You are a bunch of ungrateful wolves. Without the Yuan family's contribution to weapon refining, would you all have a magic weapon? Without the Yuan family's hard work in the rear and providing a large number of magic weapons, the front line might have collapsed long ago."
"Are the people upstairs Yuan's lackeys? What benefits did the Yuan family give you to flatter them so much and let you lick their toes?"
…
The topic gradually veered into a discussion about the Yuan family. Those who liked the Yuan family praised them highly, while those who didn't like them ridiculed them, leading to a war of words.
"Azhe, why don't you find someone to kill these people?" Wei Kaiyang's expression became ferocious when he saw the people scolding the Yuan family.
"No need. Let them curse. The harsher they curse, the more jealous they are of the Yuan family." The small fry on the Internet were not worthy of being remembered by him.
At this time, Gao Han was in Master Jiang's residence and knew nothing about what was happening on the forum.
For some unknown reason, Zhongli Tingzhou actually came with him this time. He did not refuse and let him watch from the side.
With the previous two experiences, he and Master Jiang already had a tacit understanding.
Gao Han took off his clothes, revealing a body covered in bruises.
Luo Xinxin couldn't find out who was behind the occupation of the A-level training room. When she asked those people, they all said it was their own idea. She was so angry that she beat up one of them, but the next day these people did the same thing again.
Luo Xinxin was too embarrassed to see Gao Han because she couldn't help him, so she sent him a message to tell him about it.
Gao Han told her that it was okay, and turned around and went to the B-level training room. He didn't need those high-tech equipment for the time being, so it didn't make much difference to practice at the B-level.
These two days, he was busy looking up information in the library and did not buy medicinal herbs to heal his injuries.
Master Jiang already knew the reason and his expression remained unchanged, but Zhongli Tingzhou saw it for the first time.
"What's wrong with your injuries?" The temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few degrees.
The skin that was once as healthy and white as porcelain was now covered with shocking purple-blue.
Gao Han remembered that Zhongli Tingzhou didn't know about this, but he was even more surprised that he would ask. He thought he would remain indifferent to the end.
Gao Han told him that he had been exercising for some time and it was fine.
Zhongli Tingzhou didn't say anything else and put on that icy face again.
Master Jiang originally wanted to let him go, but when he saw his appearance and vaguely guessed his identity, he let him go.
The process of expulsion treatment was boring. Gao Han could just endure it in the past. But this time, there was suddenly a third person in the room. This person would occasionally stare at him with unknown emotions in his eyes.
Later on, Gao Han really couldn't guess what he was thinking. After thinking about it, he realized that there was one thing only he could help with.
"Are you free this afternoon?"
"What's the matter?" Zhongli Tingzhou pursed his thin lips, his facial features were as angular as his cold temperament.
"I want to go to Area A on the third floor of the library. Only students in the second grade and above can enter. First graders need someone to guide them." Gao Han was afraid that he didn't know these things, so he explained it to him.
Zhongli Tingzhou hummed, his handsome face still expressionless.
Gao Han didn't know whether his "hmm" meant he agreed or just said he understood, so he just assumed that he agreed.
An hour later, Master Jiang put away his spiritual power and smiled.
"Congratulations, all the bone powder in your body has been cleared."
Gao Han stood up and paused, "Didn't they say it would take a month? It's only been 20 days, how come it's already healed?"
"You're still not happy, right? This is all thanks to the person who helped you suppress the scattered bone powder. He always forced the scattered bone powder to one place, which made it much easier for me to treat him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to treat him so many days earlier."
Gao Han was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Zhongli Tingzhou gently, "Thank you, Master Jiang."
"Thank that person. He has saved you more than 10 million." Master Jiang waved his hand. His treatment was calculated by time. It was originally one month, but now it only takes 20 days. He would not force anyone to pay for a full month.
His wallet suddenly became full again. Gao Han thought about it and felt like he had found something.
After leaving Master Jiang's residence, Zhongli Tingzhou drove him back to school.
