Chapter 123: Chapter 109, Fighting_1
Old grudge after grudge drove Yan Wenkai to lose his rationality instantly, and he raised his fist to strike Dong Xiangrong, instantly entangling the two in a fight.
This move was like stirring up a hornet’s nest. The students who had come with Dong Xiangrong immediately cried out and swarmed over.
What started as a duel quickly became a many-against-one brawl.
Yan Wentao, seeing his brother Yan Wenkai being bullied, didn’t say a word and plunged into the fray as well. freewebnøvel.com
On the busy main street, a group of students broke into a fight, quickly drawing the attention of many onlookers.
In the past, the focus would definitely have been on the fighters, but this time, everyone’s gaze was drawn to the wine’s aromatic red liquid spilled on the ground.
“What’s that red liquid on the ground? Why does it smell like wine?”
“You’re out of the loop, aren’t you? That’s grape wine, something only the rich and powerful can afford.”
Some wine lovers looked on with faces twisted in anguish at the sight of the spilled grape wine, “Wastrels, wastrels, to waste such fine wine like that, if you don’t care for it, you could sell it to me!”
“These students just don’t understand the hardships of life, to waste such good things!”
After a round of comments about the spilled grape wine, people finally turned their attention back to the fighting students.
And what they saw was shocking.
Good heavens, seven or eight people couldn’t overpower two, and those two were clearly younger than the other side.
“The martial students from Wangyue Academy are getting better and better, just look at those moves, so nimble!”
Yan Wenkai was genuinely furious. He couldn’t bear to drink the grape wine his sister had made, thinking instead to give it to Instructor Fang for extra guidance. Now it had been wasted, how could he not be angry?
He held back a bit against the others, but not a jot towards Dong Xiangrong, attacking with all his might.
This fellow was an old enemy of theirs. Back when he and his father went to the provincial capital to report for duty, they had had a conflict with him at the post station. That time, thanks to the Little Prince’s intervention, he was forced by his father to apologize to them.
Wenkai thought he’d never see the man again, yet here at Wangyue Academy, he had run into him once more—and they were both martial students.
That alone was nothing, but Dong bore a grudge for being made to apologize, and he didn’t hesitate to use his family’s influence to make life unpleasant for them.
It would have been tolerable, but he also slyly undermined their instructors, causing them to overlook Wenkai and his elder brother. If it weren’t for their solid foundation catching Instructor Fang’s eye, they might have learned nothing after so long in the Academy.
Yan Wentao always remembered his parents’ words to avoid causing trouble outside, so although he wasn’t as fierce a fighter as Yan Wenkai, he had the advantage of height and strength. Besides helping Yan Wenkai dodge some blows, he would also land a punch or two on their opponents from time to time.
“What are you doing?”
In the crowd, a silk-robed student looked like he wanted to step in and stop the fight, but was held back by the students with him.
Zhou Chengye glanced at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao. Although their martial prowess was good, they were outnumbered; with fists and feet flying everywhere, both brothers were grimacing in pain.
“This can’t go on; someone has to step in and stop this!”
Wu Hongda shook his head, “I’d advise you not to get involved. Let’s not talk about Dong Xiangrong, among those being beaten is a son from the Vice Minister’s family of the Ministry of Rites, which has been favored by the Emperor these past two years and often summoned by him.”
“Those Yan brothers don’t have much of a connection with you; there’s no need to offend the Dong Family and the Vice Minister for them.”
Hearing this, Zhou Chengye fell silent.
His occasional interactions with the three Yan brothers were mostly for the sake of the Little Prince.
He had thought the Little Prince had secured the Academy slots for the Yan brothers because he valued them, but now, after two or three months at the Academy, the Little Prince had not once visited the Yan brothers.
