Chapter 16

This scene was too bombastic. Just like a top martial arts expert, Jiang Xiu had unexpectedly merely walked over, and each of them flew out from the crowd, falling to the ground. The scene was really too domineering and shocking, it was even more dreamlike than a movie scene.
The students from First High on the ground had either fainted, rolling, or wailing. Some were even crying. Where did they have the might they displayed before?
"This…"
The students who had criticised Jiang Xiu just now were already thoroughly stupefied.
"Whoo!"
After a few seconds of quietness, the entire Martial Arts Building had imploded with tsunami-like cheers. Even the roof seemed to tremble. Along with the cheering, all the gloom, rage, and humiliation seemed to dissipate completely. All the students of Second High were extremely excited.
It was too unbelievable and had lifted the face of Second High!
"Are you looking, you trash from First High?!"
"This is our Second High's genuine might."
Situ Sheng at the corner said with pain, "S-Save me. My ribs are broken."
"Hahaha…"
All the students from Second High burst into laughter when they saw the Captain of the First High's Martial Arts Division ask for help.
"I'll call an ambulance for you!" Teacher Gu Xi understood the situation, only her sight was still fixed towards the direction Jiang Xiu had disappeared towards, the thoughts in her mind were a complete mess, "No wonder he didn't even watch the matches properly. He's actually an expert!"
"Second High!"
"Second High!"
All the students cheered as if they had won an enormous victory.
Liu Xiaoyun nudged Ye Bing who was still in a dazed state, saying in a low voice, "Your boyfriend is a real man. On par with the basketball captain. If it's a man, then he should be able to fight."
"Stop talking nonsense. What if someone hears?"
She quickly closed Liu Xiaoyun's blabbering mouth. She was also very astonished that Jiang Xiu had such high martial arts strength. It was indeed very startling.
Liu Xiaoyun pushed Ye Bing's hand away. "Only, even if he is specialized in martial arts, Uncle and Aunt won't agree to it. Granted that he's able to get a recommendation into Imperial Capital's college, he can at most be a mixed martial arts athlete.
"It might look good for common folk, but from your family's point of view, this kind of person isn't suitable for you. Bingbing, you have to think about it calmly."
"Keep your words to yourself. I absolutely will never like him." She even supplemented with a sentence, "He's not even the least bit handsome!"
Aaahh.. Girl, so you're even a handsome-con.
These students could at most be considered as mixed martial arts athletes and weren't actually versed in true martial arts. They had only learnt the most basic boxing movements, and it could be said that they hadn't even taken a peek at true martial arts. And Jiang Xiu, he had roamed the Immortal Martial Continent for three millenniums and had experienced countless life or death battles. So, even if he had lost most of his force now, he already had the Divinity Cultivation power of the Awakened Stage's 1st Myth Realm. He was equivalent to an ancient god in front of these humans.
Jiang Xiu decided to go to bed, so as soon as he returned to his bedroom, he fell on the bed. Just as he was about to drift into sleep, his cell phone started ringing.
It was from Cheng Lingsu, so he directly answered it, "Have something to speak with this Deity?"
Cheng Lingsu was currently holding his bag, the dirty clothes inside before were already washed clean using laundry liquid and even that bag was washed clean, "Where can we meet? I'll return your clothes. They are already washed clean."
Jiang Xiu said, "All of them?"
Cheng Lingsu replied "Mhm!"
"I'm waiting at the coffee shop at the school's entrance. I'll return your clothes."
Jiang Xiu said, "Ok!"
It seemed to Cheng Lingsu that meeting at the coffee shop near the school's entrance was actually a little dangerous as it was possible that she'd be caught by someone, but she was really too anxious. Recalling that she could finally remove the engagement between them, she became impatient and couldn't wait any longer.
She wore a stylish black windbreaker today, with a waistband of the same colour which made her waist look slender. She wore a pair of white casual shoes at her feet which showed off her beautiful legs' slenderness. That pure and beautiful face wearing those clothes seemed like a lily blossoming within spring winds, making a person feel as if they were bathing in the spring winds. It looked beautiful.
Wherever Cheng Lingsu went, she would attract the gazes of others.
"Cheng Lingsu, this Deity is here!"
Jiang Xiu had unexpectedly arrived before her, waving his arm, as if he was afraid she'd not notice him.
All the persons in the coffee shop first looked towards Jiang Xiu and then turned to look towards Cheng Lingsu. Cheng Lingsu's face blushed. You did it intentionally, right? Afraid that others won't know that we're acquaintances. Do you feel proud that a beautiful woman has come to meet you? Cheng Lingsu drooped her head down, and then slowly walked towards Jiang Xiu.
"Your things!"
Jiang Xiu opened the bag. A fragrance floated out from inside, it was jasmine fragrance. Cheng Lingsu had used the best laundry liquid at her home. Its scent was intoxicating. After being washed by her once, these old clothes felt as if they had become new clothes.
Jiang Xiu said, "You've washed them well, even cleaner than the shop."
Cheng Lingsu took a contract paper out and pushed it towards Jiang Xiu along with a pen, "Sign your name at the bottom and the relationship between us will end from now on."
This was a draft of a contract specially made by a lawyer.
"It'll finally end."
Right now, at the moment Cheng Lingsu spoke these words, she somewhat felt sympathy for this boy. She discovered that she felt a little reluctant to hurt him. After all, he was a playmate she used to play with in her childhood. Only, the world made him realise that it was impossible between them and since it was so, there's no need to delay.
This was also a good thing for him!
Jiang Xiu picked up the contract and had a look at it, suddenly raising his voice, "When did this Deity agree to remove our engagement?"
Cheng Lingsu's complexion changed immediately, "Jiang Xiu, what do you mean?"
Looking at the expression of ridicule on his face, Cheng Lingsu stood up. She had realised that Jiang Xiu could possibly be playing with her. "You obviously promised yesterday! Do you want to back out now?"
Yesterday evening, she had washed all of his launrdy till 11 pm, washing each of them personally. Her arms were tired and sore in the morning, even trembling slightly. She couldn't even hold a pen properly.
He doesn't want to remove it now?
Jiang Xiu said, "Back out? This Deity's words are absolute!"
He leaned past towards her, lowering his voice. That voice resembled a demon's as he gently spoke at her ears, "The school didn't expel me, and neither did the police come to find this Deity."
Cheng Lingsu felt as if her mind was struck by lightning. Yes! How is this possible? According to reason, Jiang Xiu should have been detained as a criminal yesterday, so how come he's able to enter and exit the school so freely?
If… He isn't getting expelled or imprisoned, then doesn't that mean that I washed his clothes in vain?
"No, this doesn't make sense. You injured him so heavily. It's impossible for the school to remain silent. It's impossible that Teacher Wang wouldn't sue you for this criminal action." Cheng Lingsu didn't believe it. She had a firm conviction, but the best proof was that Jiang Xiu was sitting in front of her well without harm.
"You washed them pretty well. I'll come find you if I have dirty clothes again!"
After saying his piece, Jiang Xiu drank the coffee on the table, picked up the bag and left.
"How is this even…"
Cheng Lingsu didn't dare believe it. What has happened to the school? They didn't do anything even when the student had committed such a grave crime.
"This won't do. I'll go talk to the Headmaster!"
"Hey, Lady! You still haven't paid the money?"
Cheng Lingsu turned back to look, the seat was empty with only the coffee plate and cup.
"Jiang Xiu, you bastard!"
Cheng Lingsu now owed the money for a cup of coffee again.
Inside the Headmaster's office, Qin Lin was browsing the files on Jiang Xiu. Looking at the shy youth in the photograph, his hand holding the cigarette began to shudder.
This student had beaten up his Director of Student Affairs. As the wounds were being examined, he was informed that it was a Category B cerebral concussion. All the ribs were broken, and there were bruises all over. What was even more repulsive was that even though he was the Director of Student Affairs and was beaten so severely, he said that he had fallen down and didn't want to admit that he was hit.
"Jiang Xiu…"
The Headmaster flipped through Jiang Xiu's past achievements. He was a weak student, the grades of children of other impoverished families were all quite good, but he was different, his grades were at the bottom.
With this kind of grades, he wouldn't even enter an undergraduate course.
"Vermin, a piece of sh*t!"
The headmaster cursed at him.
"This name Jiang Xiu sounds a little familiar. Where have I heard it before?" The headmaster tried to wrack his memory and finally remembered that Ms.Ye had mentioned it in the conversation they had before. She wanted him to expel this student called Jiang Xiu, saying that he had harassed her daughter. "That's it! It's him. In the same class as Ye Bing!"
Knock, knock. A door knock came through.
"Come in!"
"Student Cheng Lingsu!"
Cheng Lingsu suppressed her anger, but she wasn't able to remain calm. "Headmaster, why didn't you expel him? He beat Teacher Wang so badly and spread a bad influence. Why didn't you expel him?"
The headmaster was surprised seeing Cheng Lingsu so angry. "Did he offend you too?"
Cheng Lingsu was dazed and realised that she had forgotten her manners. She fixed her hair and calmed down. "How can that be? How can there be any relation between him and me? I merely can't bear to see that a student had injured a teacher in this way. Headmaster, you must handle this seriously. Otherwise, we won't be able to study freely."
"I'll handle it. Definitely handle it seriously!"
First, he hit his teacher and even offended the Ye family, now again offended the Cheng family, this Jiang Xiu is simply courting death.
