Super War God in the City

Chapter 54: Halt



"What a coincidence!" Ling Fan greeted.

The one who called out to him was none other than Xu Miaotong, who he hadn’t seen for several days.

"Is it really you?" Xu Miaotong’s surprise was surpassed only by her joy.

"Brother Fan, why are you at the school? Are you looking for me?"

Just as Ling Fan was about to speak, he saw a beauty beside them pulling Xu Miaotong with a puzzled face. "Xiao Tong, shouldn’t you introduce me? Who is this?"

Pressed by her best friend, Xu Miaotong, somewhat shyly, hurriedly introduced him, "His name is Ling Fan. I met him at work, and he’s a really nice guy!"

At the same time, she introduced her friend to Ling Fan, "This is my bestie, her name is He Jiayi. She’s one of the top ten campus beauties."

Xu Miaotong introduced them, a look of pride on her face. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He Jiayi’s eyes went round with shock. Xu Miaotong had always been cold to any male student at school. But here she was, so enthusiastic about a guy who looked so average?

He Jiayi immediately stepped in front of Xu Miaotong and pointed at Ling Fan, commanding, "Kid, Miaotong might be naive, but I’m not that simple. I won’t sit by and watch her get taken advantage of for her wealth or seduced!"

Ling Fan coughed, amused inwardly, but he didn’t have a bad impression of He Jiayi.

Xu Miaotong, embarrassed, quickly pulled He Jiayi aside and whispered, "Jiayi, stop talking nonsense. Brother Fan isn’t that kind of person!"

He Jiayi, with her hands on her hips, her face twitching with anger, chastised Xu Miaotong as if heartbroken, "I wondered why you’ve been acting so strange lately, always lost in thought. It turns out this kid has charmed you.

The outside world is complicated. Those scumbag men with ulterior motives are eyeing college girls like us, naive and easy to deceive, taking both their money and love. You’d better keep your eyes open!"

Ling Fan looked at the fuming He Jiayi and muttered to himself, "Do I really look like a bad guy?"

Xu Miaotong, red-faced and chastised, was about to explain when she heard He Jiayi exclaim, "Oh no, I’m going to be late for class. I can’t deal with you guys right now."

And with that, she hurried off.

Xu Miaotong let out a sigh of relief, a bit awkwardly. "She’s just like that, outspoken, but she’s really nice. Don’t be mad, okay?"

Ling Fan smiled. "Hehe, she’s quite a spirited girl. Don’t you have classes today?"

"I don’t have class this morning. You haven’t been to Sister Ying’s bar these past few days. You won’t be going there again, will you?" Xu Miaotong asked with a hint of disappointment.

"Hmm, give her my regards when you go back. If there’s any trouble, you can always come to me," Ling Fan nodded.

"Xu Miaotong, who is he?" At that moment, an icy voice interjected.

Upon hearing that, Xu Miaotong’s face changed slightly.

Ling Fan turned toward the voice and saw a bullish-looking male student walking over with an ugly expression.

"Kid, I don’t care what you do, but stay away from Xu Miaotong, or I’ll break your damn legs," the male student threatened Ling Fan coldly.

"Zhang Chao, what do you want?" Xu Miaotong stepped in front of Ling Fan and berated him angrily.

The commotion immediately caught the attention of passing students, who stopped to watch.

"Isn’t that Zhang Chao? That guy has been chasing Campus Belle Xu for a long time. So Campus Belle Xu already has a boyfriend, no wonder Zhang Chao has been unsuccessful!" someone in the crowd whispered.

Seeing the goddess of his dreams defending another man in front of him, Zhang Chao felt like he was about to explode. His eyes seemed like they could shoot out flames.

"That’s terrible, the poor guy might be in trouble now. Zhang Chao is not someone to mess with. His brother, Zhang Fei, is a master at Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion.

I remember last time someone else who was pursuing Xu Miaotong got his arms and legs broken by the people of Lei Ming Martial Arts Pavilion," someone said with alarm.

Zhang Chao’s face turned cold. "If I didn’t hear wrong just now, this guy is supposed to be a dropout who works, right? You’re actually with such trash?"

"What? That guy isn’t from our school? And he’s a dropout who’s working? Damn, that trash is trying to hit on our Campus Belle Xu?" someone exclaimed in shock.

At this, everyone looked at Xu Miaotong with an expression of regret as if a fine piece of jade had fallen into the mud.

"Ling Fan, let’s go!" Xu Miaotong ignored the odd looks from the crowd.

Zhang Chao’s face turned ashen as he scoffed, "Damn it, did I say you could go? You can leave, but that runt stays. Damn, am I worse than a working dropout?"

"You..." Xu Miaotong trembled with anger.

"Unreasonable. Ling Fan, let’s not bother with him," Xu Miaotong said, pulling Ling Fan to leave.

Ling Fan, silent, hesitated for a moment but still followed Xu Miaotong and turned to leave.

"Damn, no way. After such provocation, he actually hides behind a woman and doesn’t even dare to let out a fart. That’s just too cowardly!" someone whispered in disbelief.

"Damn, such a fresh flower stuck on cow dung!" someone lamented, stamping their feet in frustration.

"Brother Chao, the goddess of our school shouldn’t be cheapened by this garbage. You can’t lose face for Binzhou University!" Seeing Ling Fan being so cowardly, someone immediately jumped out to instigate.

Zhang Chao, seeing that Ling Fan hadn’t said a word from beginning to end and even conceded defeat to leave, his contempt grew stronger.

Not the slightest bit of hesitation remained in his heart now. Even if he couldn’t have Xu Miaotong, to grind this wimp into the ground in front of the goddess would still be a satisfying revenge.

Fueled by the crowd’s instigating, a fierce look crossed Zhang Chao’s eyes as he shouted at Ling Fan’s retreating figure, "Stop! Have I freaking allowed you to leave?"
