Chapter 186: The Arrival of Hua Rushang

Hua Rushang scratched her head, looking at Chen Feng with a puzzled expression. "Really? Did I say that? I didn't! You're mistaken." Hua Rushang turned her head away and started acting like a princess. Chen Feng really wanted to slap himself. He only wanted to tease her, but now he had shot himself in the foot.

"No, no, please don't hold a grudge against me," Chen Feng said obsequiously. "You just said it was related to me, what is it? Is there any progress on the assassination?"

Hua Rushang shook her head...

Chen Feng looked at it and said, "No?"

Then, Hua Rushang nodded again...

Chen Feng looked at it and said, "Is that so?"

Hua Rushang shook her head again...

Chen Feng was almost in tears. "Is it true or not, sister? Please stop teasing me."

"Haha...haha," Hua Rushang laughed loudly, "You can get anxious too? Serves you right, how did you treat me just now?"

Chen Feng was filled with regret. Why did I tease her back then? This is karma! "Okay, I'll tell you what happened. The girl was going to take the entrance exam for the Martial Arts Academy. On the way here, I encountered a woman who drew her sword against me."

“Wait a minute,” Hua Rushang called for a pause, “If a woman draws her sword at you, tell me, what did you do to offend her?”

Chen Feng glanced at Hua Rushang, his face serious. "Big sister, what could I possibly do to offend her? I don't even know her."

"Then why did she attack you and even draw her sword?" Hua Rushang asked, puzzled.

"Because I was playing around with the girl at the time, she said I was an old cow eating young grass, and she said it several times. I ignored her, and when she saw that I was ignoring her, she lost face, got angry, and started hitting me," Chen Feng explained.

"An old cow eating young grass?" Hua Rushang looked at Chen Feng with a wicked smile.

"No," Chen Feng almost cried, "It's not what you think. That woman is talking nonsense. I was just playing around with the girl, what's the big deal? Besides, how could you have thought that way?"

"Hey, seriously, child brides are quite popular these days. Are you thinking about it too?" Hua Rushang teased.

"Oh, what's the matter? But thinking about it, it's not bad. I'll think about it later. Child bride is a good idea."

"Haha," Hua Rushang laughed heartily, "You finally admit you have ideas, don't you!"

Chen Feng nodded. "Let's skip that topic and continue. The woman drew her sword and thrust it at me. I flicked it off, deflecting her. Seeing she couldn't defeat me, she stopped pursuing me. Later, the girl was nervous about her exam and insisted I teach her a move. I couldn't say for sure what would work, but she wouldn't give up if I didn't teach her, so I agreed and taught her a move I created myself: Xingyi Gale Palm. It's not really a move; it's more about knowing how to adapt to changing circumstances, and the key is speed. When the exam started, her opponent was the woman who had attacked me with her sword. That woman was extremely ruthless, and just when she was about to win, the girl defeated her with Xingyi Gale Palm. But the dean still wouldn't pass her."

"Why?" Hua Rushang asked, puzzled.

"Because of Xingyi Gale Palm, when the dean saw the girl use this move, he suspected that someone was watching the Martial Arts Academy and that someone wanted to harm the Martial Arts Academy, so the dean rejected it. Later, I appeared and went to the dean to discuss it, hoping that the dean could approve the girl. The dean offered a condition: he hoped that I could become a teacher at the Martial Arts Academy."

"Putting a dog in a cage to beat it?" Hua Rushang saw through the dean's scheme.

Chen Feng nodded. "Right, wait a minute, what does 'beating a dog' mean?"

"Tell me, is that what you mean?" Hua Rushang asked with a mischievous grin.

"Yes, the dean wanted to keep us all here and then find out where I came from. He later tried to fight me in front of him."

"Who's the best among you?" Hua Rushang asked.

Chen Feng shook his head. "It was a draw. His skills are no less than mine. Fortunately, it was just a test, not a fight, otherwise the outcome would have been hard to say."

"You agreed to the dean's conditions so that the girl could pass the exam?"

Chen Feng shook his head. "Not entirely. More importantly, I feel that the Martial Arts Academy is hiding some secret. In order to find out this secret, I have decided to stay."

“Oh,” Hua Rushang nodded, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I came to find you because there’s been a result regarding the assassination. I’ve investigated within the Ghost Doctor Clan, and it was indeed my cousin who did it. He’s now being punished by the Ghost Doctor Clan, and he’s here too, staying at the inn, preparing to apologize.”

Chen Feng shook his head. "Forget it, there's no need. Nothing happened to me, so let it go."

"Did you see where they went?"

"I see it, it's over there."

Suddenly, all the lights in the college came on.

"Thief! Thief!"

Chen Feng looked back and saw a large group of people chasing after him. When Chen Feng looked back again, Hua Rushang had already left.

When the crowd saw Chen Feng there, they asked, "Have you seen a woman?"

Chen Feng frowned and said, "No."

Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief when Hua Rushang left in time. Luckily, he hadn't been discovered. The dean had already suspected him, and if he had been found out today, he probably wouldn't have been able to explain himself no matter what.

If he were discovered, how would he explain it? Chen Feng couldn't help but fantasize to himself...

Hua Rushang's whereabouts were discovered, and people reported it to the dean. The dean frowned and asked, "Didn't you say you meant no harm? How do you explain this woman?"

Chen Feng said, feeling wronged, "It's true we're friends, but she just came to talk to me about something, nothing else."

"Hmph, get to the point?" The dean glared at Chen Feng, his eyes wide with anger. "What is it?"

Chen Feng quickly explained, "Nothing else. There was some misunderstanding before. Someone wanted to assassinate me. She helped me find out the truth and came to tell me."

"If that's the case, why not just use the main entrance and instead climb over the wall?" the dean asked again.

"Me?" Chen Feng looked at Hua Rushang. "Big sister, why didn't you use the main entrance?"

Hua Rushang glared at him. "Is your little affair even presentable to anyone? Do you expect me to swagger in through the front door and let everyone know?"

"Something you shouldn't be doing? Something's definitely fishy. Guards, seize them!" At the dean's command, a group of people immediately rushed forward and surrounded them…

Thinking of this, Chen Feng shook his head and decided against it. Luckily, nothing bad had happened. If something had gone wrong, it would have been troublesome. He wasn't afraid of fighting, but he couldn't stand misunderstandings.

For some unknown reason, everyone was running around like headless chickens. "Did you find it?"

"No, let's go check over there," someone replied, then turned and left.
