Chapter 13 - Brotherhood (2/2)

Mu Feng took a deep breath, looked at Wan Er who was looking at him worryingly, and shook his head.

Then, he looked at Zhao Heng with eyes full of determination and said coldly: “I accept your challenge, but, if I’m the one who wins the match two years later, you’ll have to apologize to me in front of the whole capital, gouge out one of your eyes, and say that you’re blind.”

“Hahaha, deal! I’m dying to see how will you achieve that!”

Zhao Heng laughed loudly.

“Feng…”

Yun Qingwan looked at Mu Feng with a trace of anger. He shouldn’t have been so reckless and accepted the bet.

However, Mu Feng smiled at her and mouthed out a few words.

Have faith in me!

“He’s such a bully! What kind of academy is this? I wouldn’t mind it if I didn’t study here! Brother Feng, I’ll stay by your side. I, Mu Kuang, pull out from this year’s enrollment!”

All of a sudden, Mu Kuang stepped out from the crowd, stood beside Mu Feng, and said.

“You’re my good brother indeed!”

Mu Kuang’s action warmed his heart. No matter how the world mistreated him, he had a good brother who was willing to stay by his side.

“Mu Kuang, are you out of your goddamn mind?!”

A man who resembled Mu Kuang shouted.

“Father, I’m not, these guys are! Brother Feng joined the army when he was nine and he brought pride to our family by killing hundreds of enemies and fighting for our country. But what about them? As Mu disciples themselves, they gossipped and criticized him when others talked behind his back! Why didn’t they say anything before? They’re nothing but a bunch of jerks! I, Mu Kuang, only respect two people in my life. One of them is uncle Mu Tian, who died while defending our country, and the other is Brother Feng!”

Mu Kuang pointed at the Mu family’s disciples and his dad and said with a cold laugh. He remained his stand beside Mu Feng.

“Do you guys even know how many battle scars Brother Feng has because he defended our country? What have you done in return? You all are just a group of spoiled brats! How dare you say that Brother Feng is a cripple? If you are really talented, why don’t you go fight in battle and come back with two enemy heads?”

Upon hearing his words, the Mu disciples turned red and remained silent. His father was speechless as well.

“I will pull out from this year’s enrollment as well.”

At this moment, Yun Qingwan also stood beside Mu Feng and said, causing another uproar.

“Wan Er, how could you…”

Mu Feng wanted to say something, but Wan Er held his face and said: “You are the wind, and I am the leaf. The leaf will go anywhere the wind blows.”

Her smile was like a fountain that nourished his wounded heart.

Mu Feng was teary and felt that he didn’t need anybody else in the world.

Meanwhile, Zhao Heng and the elders expression had changed drastically. Yun Qingwan was one of their potential best students, if she pulled out and enrolled in another academy, it would be a significant loss to the academy.

“Stop this nonsense!”

At this moment, a man stepped forward. It was Yun Hai.

“Father!”

Yun Qingwan looked at Yun Hai. Yun Hai clasped his hands towards Zhao Heng and the elders and said: “Dear elders, my daughter was talking nonsense just now, please don’t take her words seriously.”

“Father, I’m not…!”

“Silence! I am not your father if you pull out from the Royal Wudo Academy! And you, Mu Feng, don’t forget what you had promised me!”

Yun Hai said coldly as he looked at Mu Feng. He then knocked Yun Qingwan out and held her in his arms.

“Of course I remember.”

Mu Feng replied.

“Good. Dear elders, I am so sorry for all the inconvenience caused by my daughter. I will send her to the Royal Wudo Academy myself tomorrow.”

Yun Hai carried Yun Qingwan and shot an apologetic smile towards the elders. He then left after glancing at Mu Feng.

Looking at Wan Er being carried away, Mu Feng clenched his fists.

“Don’t you worry, Wan Er. Feng will never let you down. Never!”

Mu Feng then walked down the stage with Mu Kuang without bothering to look at other people’s reactions.

The bet soon became the hottest topic in the city. However, people already knew how would it end — Mu Feng will have to kneel down and apologize in public.
