Chapter 87: A Storm Approaches!?
Tang Family.
The once luxurious and exquisite living room of the Tang family is now in shambles, the floor turned into a dirt pit, and the tables, chairs, and wine racks completely destroyed.
Tang Xiaorou lies on the bed in her room, while Fang Yu stands beside her.
Due to the severe swelling of her cheeks, Tang Xiaorou can barely open her eyes.
Fang Yu holds a freshly prepared traditional Chinese medicine and applies it to her face.
Tang Xiaorou grits her teeth, enduring the pain without making a sound.
After a moment, her cheeks are covered in a green herbal paste.
“You should be fully recovered in no more than two days,” Fang Yu says.
Tang Xiaorou feels a slight coolness on her cheeks, and the pain indeed lessens.
“Am I really ugly right now?” Tang Xiaorou asks, her speech slightly slurred due to the swelling.
Fang Yu nods and replies, “You look about three times fatter than before.”
Tang Xiaorou feels a bit sad; no girl wants to look ugly, so she asks, “Will I really be completely back to normal in two days?”
“Probably, but medicine is unpredictable, and there could be unexpected outcomes,” Fang Yu responds.
Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou feels a pang of fear in her heart.
What if she never returns to her former appearance? What would she do then?
“Rest well and sleep more; that will help your cheeks heal faster,” Fang Yu says before turning to leave.
…
The Yang family has turned into a pile of ruins overnight, with severe casualties, and the family head, Yang Shaorong, has gone mad!
This explosive news detonated like a bomb, instantly shaking the upper echelons of Jiangnan society.
All the major families were shocked.
The Yang family, one of the top aristocratic families in Jiangnan, was actually reduced to rubble!
Who did this? What kind of person did they offend to end up in such a tragic situation?
Many families sent people to gather information.
However, they could not find any concrete news or collect any relevant intelligence.
This only made the situation more mysterious and open to speculation.
Many guessed that it was Fang Yu, who had crippled Yang Jian on the martial arts stage.
After all, only that mysterious Fang Yu had such a deep grudge against the Yang family and possessed enough strength.
However, although they speculated, they had no evidence and dared not speak carelessly.
After all, no one wanted to become the next Yang family.
…
In Xiangcheng, Longmen.
An old man in a purple robe stood with his hands behind his back on a giant rock, remaining still for a long time.
“What’s wrong with the master? He has been standing there for a long time today.”
“I don’t know…”
“Did something happen?”
Some disciples looked at Gu Rulong on the giant rock and whispered among themselves.
After a few minutes, a sharp bird call echoed in the sky.
A completely black strange bird flew from afar, moving incredibly fast, and landed on Gu Rulong’s shoulder in just two or three seconds.
Gu Rulong took a piece of letter paper from the bird’s foot.
Upon opening the letter, an astonishing aura erupted from Gu Rulong’s body!
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the giant rock beneath Gu Rulong’s feet cracked with countless fissures!
In just a few seconds, the nearly thirty-meter-high giant rock completely shattered!
Gu Rulong’s figure shot into the sky, leaving a long afterimage in the air, resembling a golden dragon spiraling in the sky!
A long and furious dragon roar echoed through the air!
The many disciples of Longmen watched this scene, their eyes filled with shock and admiration.
This is their master, Gu Rulong, a true dragon among men!
But what could have happened to make their usually steadfast master so furious?
Just then, a disciple rushed in from outside the sect, shouting loudly as he ran, “B-Big Brother has been killed…”
The faces of all the disciples changed instantly!
Big Brother Gu Yan was also someone they could only look up to, with terrifying strength, second only to Gu Rulong in Longmen.
Moreover, Big Brother Gu Yan was originally an orphan, adopted by Gu Rulong. Their relationship was not just that of master and disciple but also akin to father and son.
But… Big Brother has been killed?
Who did this? Who has such strength and audacity?
In the sky, the golden dragon formed by Gu Rulong continued to spiral, dark clouds gathering and thunder rumbling.
The disciples below all turned pale.
They knew that something significant was about to happen.
…
The next morning, Fang Yu arrived at the classroom.
Due to her facial injuries, Tang Xiaorou had taken a leave of absence and did not come.
This made Fang Yu feel quite comfortable; he could lay on the desk all morning without anyone bothering him.
It wasn’t until the lunch bell rang that Fang Yu finally lifted his head.
He went to the neighboring class to find Liu Pangzi and went to have lunch together.
The school cafeteria wasn’t large, so they had to queue to buy food.
Fang Yu and Liu Pangzi stood at the back of a long line.
A slightly chubby boy walked by, chatting and laughing with two girls beside him.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed Fang Yu standing at the back of the line, and his expression changed.
“I have something to do; you two can eat by yourselves today,” Li Bingyan said to the two girls.
After saying that, he walked over to Fang Yu, ignoring the two girls.
Standing in front of Fang Yu, Li Bingyan forced a smile and said, “Fang Yu, we meet again!”
Fang Yu glanced at Li Bingyan but said nothing.
His impression of this person was quite average.
“Fang Yu, I was wrong that day in the store; I didn’t recognize you at first. Otherwise, how could I possibly compete with you for the bill? I’m just a nobody with a bit of money; how could I dare to compete with someone of your caliber?” Li Bingyan flattered.
Ever since he saw Fang Yu’s black gold card and learned about his achievements, Li Bingyan had resolved to befriend Fang Yu, even if it meant being his lackey.
He was convinced that following Fang Yu would definitely lead to a bright future!
Fang Yu looked at Li Bingyan and asked, “So what do you want?”
“I just want to be friends with you,” Li Bingyan said with a flattering smile.
“I don’t need friends,” Fang Yu replied flatly.
“Then I’ll be your lackey! If you have any orders in the future, just let me know…” Li Bingyan said.
Fang Yu felt a bit speechless and turned away, ignoring Li Bingyan.
Li Bingyan, undeterred, turned to Liu Pangzi, who was standing behind Fang Yu.
“Brother, what is your relationship with Fang Yu?”
Liu Pangzi was taken aback for a moment and replied, “I used to be his deskmate.”
“Then you’re true brothers,” Li Bingyan said, directly putting his arm around Liu Pangzi’s shoulder and casually stepping into the line.
A wave of curses came from behind.
Li Bingyan remained unfazed and started chatting with Liu Pangzi.
After a while, a sudden gasp arose around them.
Li Bingyan looked back, his eyes widening.
“Wow, it’s that goddess who just transferred here, Xia Tinghe!”
A tall girl with exceptionally fair skin stood at the back of the line in the adjacent queue.
This girl had features as exquisite as a sculpture—arched eyebrows, sparkling black eyes, a delicate nose, and rosy lips, with skin that was white and translucent.
Not only was she beautiful, but she also exuded a lofty and cold aura that made people feel an inexplicable fear, making them hesitant to approach.
“Ten out of ten! She’s really as beautiful as the rumors say,” Li Bingyan said, staring at Xia Tinghe, nearly drooling.
Liu Pangzi, though timid, couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at Xia Tinghe’s beauty.
She was indeed stunning, comparable to Tang Xiaorou, but their auras were vastly different.
“She’s only in her second year of high school, yet her figure is already so good; she’s truly exceptional,” Li Bingyan continued to comment.
Liu Pangzi nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Fang Yu also turned to look at Xia Tinghe, his eyes slightly moving.
This girl actually had a cultivation level of the ninth layer of Qi Refining.
He had been curious about who nearby was emitting the aura of a cultivator; it turned out to be this girl.
Li Bingyan’s voice was not quiet, and Xia Tinghe, with her extraordinary hearing, caught every word.
She furrowed her brows and looked up in the direction of Li Bingyan.
Li Bingyan and Liu Pangzi reacted quickly, almost instantly lowering their heads and pretending to play with their phones.
Only Fang Yu continued to stare at Xia Tinghe.
Seeing Fang Yu’s unabashed gaze, Xia Tinghe’s frown deepened.
“That guy has no manners, staring at you like that as if he’s never seen a beauty before,” one of the girls beside Xia Tinghe said.
Hearing this, Fang Yu naturally realized he had been labeled a pervert, but he didn’t care and turned away.
Xia Tinghe looked at Fang Yu’s figure, her expression not looking good.
Throughout the entire lunch period, Li Bingyan clung to Fang Yu, chattering incessantly.
Fang Yu felt a bit impatient, but Liu Pangzi was enjoying the conversation with Li Bingyan.
…
In the afternoon, there was a physical education class. Fang Yu went to the convenience store to buy an ice cream, eating it as he walked.
Passing by the art building, he heard a clear and melodious tune being played on the guzheng.
Fang Yu looked up and happened to make eye contact with Xia Tinghe, who was sitting by the window on the second floor, playing the guzheng.
“Is it her?” Fang Yu was slightly taken aback.
