Chapter 151: Reward (2/2)

Ingrate!

Duanmu Huanghun was also in an awkward situation. He wanted to punch Ai Hui when he saw his face, but he restrained himself. If not for the fact that he bore a heavy responsibility, he would rather die than visit Ai Hui.

“Matters related to the institution and the magistrate court.” Duanmu Huanghun did not bother to keep his tone civil.

Ai Hui snorted and opened the door widely.

Upon seeing Duanmu Huanghun, Lou Lan greeted him enthusiastically, “Student Bangwan.”

Hearing those two words, Duanmu Huanghun trembled. To him, these two words were a nightmare.

When his gaze fell on the young girl from the noodle store, his pace became even more sluggish, and he could not help but tremble.

Ai Hui’s flame was actually here!

That girl with strength off the charts, the girl who was as fierce as a wild beast was actually here. At that moment, he only wanted to run! Previously, when he exchanged blows with Ai Hui’s flame, he could not even retaliate. He was completely suppressed by her and had experienced the most painful defeat of his life.

Suddenly, he felt that he had walked into a lion’s den. Everyone’s gaze was like a tiger watching its prey.

“Say it. What’s the matter?” Ai Hui only wished for the early departure of this person.

Looking at Ai Hui’s face that deserved a spanking, Duanmu Huanghun’s anger rose, but looking at that woman who was standing close by, that anger disappeared without a trace.

“As you were helpful in defeating the blood fiend, the institution and the magistrate court would like to reward you. They sent me here to check on your opinion.”

Duanmu Huanghun’s face was impartial. He had a headache when he received the assignment. Truthfully, his feelings were complicated when he saw Ai Hui today.

He had seen with his own eyes how Ai Hui impressively executed his sword moves. The Dean and the Mayor both praised him, while those teachers who followed them were also amazed.

There were even some who thought that Ai Hui could be a swordplay master in the future.

Duanmu Huanghun felt pressure, tremendous pressure. Ai Hui was catching up to him with a speed that he could not comprehend. The distance between Ai Hui and him was getting shorter. He had also discovered that Ai Hui was better at adapting to dangerous situations. When everyone was at a loss, only Ai Hui managed to come up with a solution.

Reward!

Ai Hui brightened up in a flash. “How would they reward me?”

“This would depend on your needs. It could be absolute arts or weapons and defensive gear. You can slowly reflect and consider.” Duanmu Huanghun secretly thought to himself that he would give Ai Hui the one with the worst quality.

“Money!” Ai Hui said defiantly, “If they want to reward me, reward me with money!”

Duanmu Huanghun could not contain himself and reminded Ai Hui, “You better choose a few imparted skills or special defense equipments or even elemental ingredients.”

While Ai Hui brought about a huge amount of stress to him, his pride did not allow him to use such low methods to slow down Ai Hui’s progress.

Victory must also be achieved fairly and honorably.

I will not lose to you!

Duanmu Huanghun felt relieved after resolving his internal turmoil. He laughed involuntarily. It seemed that he had been possessed recently. How could he have such thoughts. Although Ai Hui had improved tremendously, Duanmu Huanghun was still superior.

He knew that it was due to the sword move. Seeing that sword move shocked him like never before, which led to his recent imbalanced mentality.

Seeing Ai Hui’s indifference, he continued in a light tone, “In the current situation, whether it is the academy or the magistrate court, they would not have so much money. That is because much of their money would be used to replenish and purchase supplies. You should think about unobtainable or expensive items that you wanted in the past. Think this over carefully.”

Ai Hui was taken aback as he sensed that Duanmu Huanghun was serious.

“He said it perfectly.”

The young lady from the noodle store abruptly interrupted.

Ai Hui became prudent and cautious. The young lady from the noodle store was wealthy and respectable, so she definitely knew more of the world than a country bumpkin like him. He face-palmed. He could also ask Teacher and Mistress for their inputs and suggestions.

“Give me a second.”

Having said that, he rushed out of the training hall.

Fatty and Lou Lan were conversing, which left just Shi Xueman and Duanmu Huanghun alone. Duanmu Huanghun felt extremely awkward.

“May I dare ask young lady’s name?”

Duanmu Huanghun decided to break the awkward silence. He was extremely curious about Ai Hui’s old flame. Her capability was deep and unmeasurable. While there were many reasons as to why he was suppressed that night, the main reason was because he did not have much confidence in defeating his opponent.

For a student to be able to threaten Duanmu Huanghun, she was definitely not a nameless nobody to be taken lightly.

Could it be that she was not a student?

Thinking of Senior Mingxiu, another woman in Ai Hui’s life, Duanmu Huanghun trembled. She was also a nightmare.

Why were the women around Ai Hui so frightening?

Shi Xueman treated Duanmu Huanghun indifferently. In her eyes, Duanmu Huanghun was just a little boy, and she did not think highly of him. Her expression was composed, then she smiled and said, “He usually calls me ‘skank.’ ”

Duanmu Huanghun: “…”

Fatty, who was not far away, exclaimed, “This… I seemed to have heard of this!”

“Hehe, I had heard of it too.”

Shi Xueman laughed lightly. Her laugh was as cold as the winter tide.
