Su Lingxuan came from a rune elite family and was the disciple of the rune society. Along with her extraordinary talents, her appearance and aura were also top-class. She was a beauty desired by many. Hence, she was very popular among the youngsters in Yang City.
However, she rarely appeared in public, so there was no chance to invite her.
This caused the youngsters in Yang City, who wanted to chase Su Lingxuan, to feel helpless.
Fortunately, there was no news that Su Lingxuan was close to any young man. Hence, they werenât in a rush.
You had to savor good wine, just like how you needed to chase a beauty slowly.
But, at this moment, there was another young man beside Su Lingxuan around her age. If that wasnât bad enough, they looked intimate.
âWho is this person?â a handsome young man around 17 years old asked coldly.
The others looked at one another and shook their heads. They had no idea.
âItâs him!â Liu Xinghui opened his mouth, his gaze flickering.
âXinghui, you know him?â the handsome young man asked.
Liu Xinghui looked at the young man opposite him and came up with a plan. He said, âThis fellow is not from Yang City. I met him when I was taking my beginner-stage runemaster exam today. Su Lingxuan was there too. I didnât expect them to get together.â
âAn outsider is snatching our lady?â The handsome young man, Wan Feiyu, furrowed his brows as he asked, âHow was his exam?â
âNot bad. He passed the beginner-stage runemaster exam. I heard that his performance was not bad,â Liu Xinghui replied.
âHe must be talented to pass the exam at this age. Hmph, however, heâs just a beginner-stage runemaster.â A tinge of disdain appeared in Wan Feiyuâs eyes. He got up and walked down the restaurant. âCome, letâs go and meet him.â
The others exchanged glances with one another and followed hurriedly.
Liu Xinghui finished the wine in his cup, an evil smile appearing at the edge of his lips.
â¦
Wang Teng and Su Lingxuan were walking along the streets when they suddenly saw a bunch of young men dressed elegantly closing in on them like raging bulls. It was easy to tell that these young men came from good backgrounds.
The passers-by moved aside as though they were some frightening monsters.
âWhy is it them? Letâs leave, quick. They are extremely irritating. If we get tangled in their matters, we wonât be able to do anything today.â Su Lingxuan frowned. She pulled Wang Teng to the side hurriedly in an attempt to hide among the crowd.
âThey are here for us,â Wang Teng looked at Su Lingxuan and said helplessly.
As expected, Wan Feiyu and his gang walked straight to Wang Teng and Su Lingxuan. They blocked their path.
âLingxuan, long time no see. You rarely come out. Why didnât you come and look for me? Uncle Su tells us to get together more often,â Wan Feiyu smiled and said.
Ignoring other factors, his looks were indeed outstanding. As he grew up in an elite family, his aura as a noble and elegant young master possessed lethal attraction to those ordinary young ladies.
But Su Lingxuan wasnât mesmerized by him at all. She glanced at him and said, âIâm busy. I came out to buy things for my master. I donât have time to waste. Please give way.â
âWhat do you want to buy? I can accompany you. My familyâs business covers all the city. You can just tell me if you want to buy anything. I will solve it for you as soon as possible,â Wan Feiyu replied.
âNo need. I will buy it myself. Thereâs no need to trouble you,â Su Lingxuan said.
Wan Feiyu didnât want Su Lingxuan to leave, though. He continued, âItâs not troublesome. I just need to give an order.â
Then, he pretended that he had just noticed Wang Teng and exclaimed, âThis young man looks unfamiliar. Lingxuan, donât get too close to a stranger. It will be bad if you get fooled. After all, we come from elite families, so many people are eyeing us. We wonât know whatâs the motive of some unknown people.â
He glanced at Wang Teng. This fellow is more handsome than me?
Pretty boy!
Wang Teng chuckled. By saying these words directly in his face, this fellow was looking down on him.
Wang Teng knew his intention at one glance. His methods were a bit tender, though.
âWan Feiyu, youâre stepping over your line!â This time, Su Lingxuan didnât give in. Her face turned cold as she spoke to him.
âLittle Lingxuan, I know that you canât understand it now, but I will prove to you that Iâm doing it for your sake.â Wan Feiyu was hypocritical. He turned around immediately and sneered at Wang Teng. âI know that you passed the beginner-stage runemaster exam, but in front of the Su and Wan family, you are nothing. Go away if you want to fool Lingxuan. Donât make me hit you.â
âBeginner-stage runemaster?â Wang Tengâs expression was strange. He had already noticed Liu Xinghui, who was standing behind this young man. Hence, when he heard the young manâs words, he understood the entire story. He gave Liu Xinghui a meaningful glance before talking to the young man in front of him excitedly. âOh, if you hit me, what will happen?â
âIt seems like you want to do this the hard way.â A hint of anger flashed past Wan Feiyuâs eyes. His face turned black, and his tone was cold.
âYou should understand the situation before you stand up, young man!â Wang Teng shook his head. He didnât even know that he was being used. What an idiot.
Liu Xinghuiâs expression changed slightly.
However, Wan Feiyu didnât notice it. Instead, he was stimulated by Wang Tengâs gaze.
âWan Feiyu, donât kick up a fussâ¦â
Su Lingxuan wanted to explain, but Wan Feiyu didnât want to listen. Anger was already burning in his heart. He lost control of his emotions and said, âBastard, why are you looking at me like this?â
âYou can do your own interpretation, idiot!â Wang Teng also got impatient. He shouted furiously, âGet lost!â
âYouâre looking for death!â Wan Feiyu was trembling in anger and couldnât hold himself back anymore. He took a step forward, throwing a punch at Wang Teng.
âBe careful!â Su Lingxuanâs expression changed as she cried hurriedly.
She didnât expect Wan Feiyu to act suddenly. They were so close. At this distance, it was difficult for Wang Teng to evade. Her face turned pale.
If something happened to Wang Teng, how would she answer Gorlin?
Delight flashed past his eyes when Liu Xinghui saw this scene. The smile at the edge of his lips became brighter. So what if he is more gifted than me in terms of rune talent? Heâll still get beaten by others.
However, the next second, the expression on his face froze.
âSlap!â
A crisp sound resounded on the street. Wan Feiyuâs wrist was grabbed by a strong and powerful hand.
âHow is this possible?â Wan Feiyuâs expression changed entirely. He was in disbelief. He struggled frantically to escape Wang Tengâs clutches, but he realized he was unable to move.
âI have a bad temper,â Wang Teng looked at Wan Feiyu expressionlessly and said.
âLet me go!â
Wan Feiyuâs face turned hideous. He clenched his other fist and smashed it on Wang Tengâs temple. At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked the lower half of Wang Tengâs body ruthlessly. He showed no mercy. He wanted Wang Tengâs life.
Wang Tengâs face remained indifferent. He raised his leg calmly and kicked Wan Feiyuâs knee.
âCrack!â
The sound of bone breaking was exceptionally spooky.
At the same time, he waved his fist and slammed it on Wan Feiyuâs arm. Another crisp sound sent a chill down the onlookerâs spines.
Wan Feiyuâs left arm dropped 90 degrees down!
âAh!â
A cry of agony escaped Wan Feiyuâs mouth.
The youngsters that came with Wan Feiyu were frightened. Liu Xinghui wasnât any different. He looked at Wang Teng in disbelief. How dare he? Where did he get his courage?
