Chapter 369 - Intensify (1/2)
When Liu Fei's mournful wail reverberated across the vast kendo gym, the crowd was petrified, and their hairs stood on end. It was a gut-wrenching sight as his broken right leg was bent at an unnatural, awkward angle.
Everyone in the kendo gym was terrified as they looked at Xiao Luo with fear in their eyes. To break someone's leg just because of a misunderstanding was simply vicious. Just who was he, a gangster? Perhaps only gangsters would behave so cruelly in their conduct.
Guo Qinghe was astounded, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He always saw Zhang Dashan as the troublesome one who played the bad guy's role, endlessly engaging in fights and brawls, literally unafraid of anything. On the other hand, Xiao Luo was on the exact opposite—he had a restrained personality and wouldn't cause trouble unnecessarily, nor would he be willing to do so. But what was going on now? He broke Liu Fei's right leg right without a second thought and seemed to have mastered some form of martial arts to have gained such unfathomable powers.
Had Zhang Dashan been there, he would definitely have told Guo Qinghe that his understanding of Xiao Luo was all wrong. It was true that Xiao Luo would never cause trouble, nor would he be willing to do so, but the one critical factor that Guo Qinghe had overlooked was that there was a limit to Xiao Luo's patience, and once that line was crossed, even if one was the Jade Emperor, Xiao Luo would not back down until he had that person groveling before him.
”You whacked me once, I whack you back once—so, it is fair and square.”
Then, Xiao Luo gave Liu Fei a chilling glare and said, ”But you intentionally knocked down my little girl, that's unacceptable. So, you're still going to have to get a kick for it, and after that, I shall call it even.”
When Liu Fei heard that, his soul almost jumped out of his body. Even a blow from him with a wooden sword had broken his leg, what would a kick do to him, would his other leg be broken too? He shook his head in terror, raising his hands in supplication to plead with Xiao Luo and said in a shaky voice, ”No… no… I apologize, I'm sorry, please…”
Xiao Luo's viciousness and strength completely broke Liu Fei's will to resist, and he broke down in tears.
”Too late for that,” Xiao Luo snarled, shaking his head and giving Liu Fei a grimacing smile.
”Xiao Luo!”
Guo Qinghe shouted then quickly ran towards Xiao Luo to stop him. He stared sternly at Liu Fei on the floor and said, ”Enough is enough!”
Xiao Luo glanced at him impassively, and with the smile still on his face, he delivered a fierce kick right into Liu Fei's face. A stream of blood gushed from Liu Fei's mouth, and, along with it, a tooth flew out as well. Liu Fei passed out before he could even scream.
”You…!”
”This is between him and me, so stay out of it.”
Xiao Luo warned him with an air of indifference. Guo Qinghe's response had been unreasonable and callous toward the incident, so Xiao Luo wasn't too concerned about how he felt. Besides, he was already certain that Guo Qinghe was no more than a hypocrite who was hoping that he'd embarrass himself by getting beaten up. It was no longer necessary to be polite to such a devious serpent.
”He is a member of our kendo gym, and as the kendo gym's senior, your actions are making it difficult for me.”
Guo Qinghe spoke loudly and seemed somewhat flustered. He then appeared to lose control of his emotions and said, ”Besides, you are the one at fault. You should not have brought your daughter here in the first place, let alone allow her the run around inside the kendo gym. Luckily, she only hurt her knee, but even if she ended up being severely wounded, you are the one who asked for it, and no one else should be blamed. You also shouldn't be giving the excuse that she's still a little kid, and instead, that you should admit that you're wrong. Learn from this and don't make the same mistake again!”
”Admit my mistake? Was I wrong?” Xiao Luo sneered.
”Most certainly. You shouldn't have brought your daughter into the kendo gym!” Guo Qinghe kept harping on that point, knowing he had little else to go on.
Xiao Luo responded, ”You mentioned that the kendo gym prohibits the entry of children below the age of five, but I've looked around the gym, so why haven't I seen a single sign that says that? Since it is prohibited, as you say, then it has to be put up somewhere. My guess is that this is just a rule you made up, am I right?”
”Don't go judging others by your own low morals. Everyone knows that the kendo gym prohibits the entry of children. Senior Brother Qinghe is a righteous man, so I don't understand how he can have such an unreasonable and delusional classmate like you! You are tarnishing his image,” the girl, whom Su Canye fancied, came forward and ranted at Xiao Luo.
After her tirade, the other students of the kendo gym followed suit and criticized Xiao Luo.
”I did sympathize with him at first, but I didn't expect him to be such a cruel person. I don't have any pity for his daughter anymore.”
”Precisely. Senior Brother Qinghe is always righteous, and his skill in kendo is also excellent. How can someone as brilliant as him have such a contemptible classmate with such a foul attitude?”
