Perhaps they were really too hungry. From the moment Ma Sanbao and the others entered until they sat down, the Copper Bull brothers had not lifted their heads, continuously focused on eating the food in front of them.
"Do country folks eat this loudly? How can anyone eat with such noise?"
As Ma Sanbao spoke, he slammed his utensils down on the table. At that moment, a child who was as thin as a monkey stood up next to Ma Sanbao.
"Young Master, please calm down. I'll chase them away right now."
After saying this, the monkey-like child started shouting towards Liu Guanfeng's table. Although they weren't very far away, he still shouted with all his might to make an impression.
"Hey, you at that table eating! Didn't you hear what our Young Master said? You can see that you’ve lost your appetite because of you. Be sensible and get out of here quickly, or else I’ll take action."
Liu Guanfeng glanced at the shouting monkey and put down his utensils. If they were only talking about him, perhaps Liu Guanfeng would ignore them. However, they were not just referring to him but also included his classmates and his brothers.
"We're eating our meal; how does it bother you? If you want to eat, sit down and eat. If you don’t want to eat, then get lost. A dog dares to call itself 'young master'? I really don't know how its owner educates it. It’s best to find a chain to tie that dog up." Liu Guanfeng said disdainfully.
"You country bumpkin, who are you calling a dog? You should look at who you're talking to; my Young Master is the son of General Ma." After saying this, he looked at Ma Sanbao with a flattering expression and then cast a contemptuous glance at me.
"That’s your Young Master, not mine. I have no need to care about your Young Master’s feelings. Like I said, if you want to eat, then eat properly; if not, get lost." After saying this, he no longer looked at the boy with the monkey face.
"You brat, I see you're looking for death." After saying this, the boy with the monkey face walked over to Liu Guanfeng's table along with two other lackeys.
Before Liu Guanfeng could move, Copper Bull stood up. True to his reputation from the Fire Department and Fighting Qi, his temper was explosive. Moreover, due to the previous incident at the restaurant entrance, Copper Bull had a strong dislike for this group of people.
Seeing the three of them approach, without saying a word, Copper Bull stepped forward and threw a punch at the boy with pockmarks on his right cheek. The boy hadn’t even reacted before he was knocked down by a single punch. Then with a side kick, another slightly chubby boy was also sent crashing to the ground by Copper Bull.
Although both sides were just kids, Copper Bull had learned quite a few offensive techniques from his sparring with Liu Guanfeng. The opponents were true children who only knew how to bully others; when it came to fighting, they had no real skills.
So before they could react, two of them had already fallen. Copper Bull then grabbed the monkey-like boy and brought his face close to his own.
"Were you the one shouting at my Third Young Master just now?"
"What do you want? Young Master, save me!" The monkey-like boy was frightened by the sudden turn of events.
"What do I want? I just want to do this." With that, Copper Bull raised his hand and slapped the monkey-like boy, sending him crashing onto Ma Sanbao's table.
This startled Ma Sanbao as well, who looked at Liu Guanfeng and the others. He jumped up angrily. "You dare to hit my subordinate? State your name so I can recognize you. How dare you hit Ma Sanbao's subordinate!"
Liu Guanfeng sat in his chair and looked at Ma Sanbao. "Special Class, Liu Guanfeng."
"Special Class? Isn't that the trash class? You, a piece of trash, dare to be arrogant?" Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng identify himself as from the Special Class, Ma Sanbao immediately raised his voice.
When he called Liu Guanfeng trash, Liu Guanfeng felt nothing and continued to smile at him. However, Iron Bull and Bao Rui stood up simultaneously and joined Copper Bull. Bao Rui coldly said, "Who are you calling trash?"
At that moment, footsteps were heard coming from upstairs. "Who was fighting just now?" It was Director Jin, the head of the school's training department.
Director Jin walked downstairs and saw the two groups in a standoff. His expression darkened. "Were you all fighting just now? Come with me to the office." With that, he led the way down to the first floor. Both groups lowered their heads and followed Director Jin to his office.
Director Jin sat behind his desk and looked at the row of students standing before him. "Now tell me what happened."
Ma Sanbao immediately replied, "Report Director Jin, they started it! They even threatened us verbally."
Liu Guanfeng smiled and shook his head. With years of teaching experience, he knew what a teacher wanted to hear most; the more one tried to shift blame, the more annoying it was for Teacher Ren. Admitting fault would actually yield better results. So Liu Guanfeng stepped forward:
"Director, let's first address the issue of fighting. We have a responsibility and should not fight at school, as it influences other teachers and students during their meals. Here is what happened." Liu Guanfeng recounted the entire incident to Director Jin without embellishment. Director Jin nodded and said to Ma Sanbao:
"Is there any problem with what he said?"
Ma Sanbao looked at Director Jin and replied, "Yes, this is the course of events."
Director Jin was clearly aware of Liu Guanfeng and Ma Sanbao's identities, so he had no intention of dealing with them directly from the start.
"Liu Guanfeng, Ma Sanbao, the ones who fought today were your subordinates. Normally, you two should be punished as well, but since this is your first offense, we'll let it go this time. Remember to manage your subordinates better in the future.
As for the four who fought, you will each clean the main playground every noon for a week. If the cleaning is not satisfactory, the punishment will be extended."
"Director Jin, we were the ones being attacked; you can't be so biased," Ma Sanbao said unhappily.
"What does it matter if you were attacked? You know better than I do what caused this whole incident. Do you need me to say more?" Director Jin coldly looked at Ma Sanbao.
Ma Sanbao shrank back and said, "I'm sorry, Director Jin. I understand my mistake; I will make sure to supervise them."
Director Jin waved his hand. "Alright, I will check on it later. You can go back now."
After leaving Director Jin's office, Ma Sanbao angrily said to Liu Guanfeng, "Kid, don't think this is over. Just wait; you'll see." With that, he led his subordinates away.
Liu Guanfeng smiled and shook his head; it always felt strange to be called "kid" by someone six or seven years younger. Copper Bull lowered his head and walked up to Liu Guanfeng. "Third Brother, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Liu Guanfeng patted Copper Bull's shoulder. "What trouble? You were just standing up for me when you hit them. I should actually thank you. Don't worry; I won't ignore your punishment. Starting tomorrow, I'll help you clean the playground." A few words made Copper Bull feel deeply moved.
After saying goodbye to Platinum Wen and returning home, Liu Guanfeng found his father Liu Yong'an and told him everything that happened today. After listening, his father didn't say much. He only told Liu Guanfeng that only by genuinely caring for one's subordinates can one earn their sincere loyalty in return.
Liu Guanfeng's father also told him that he knew Ma Sanbao's father, Ma Weiwu, from before. They were both generals of the Starfall Kingdom, and at that time, they did not get along well. Moreover, Ma Weiwu was known for holding grudges, so Liu Guanfeng was advised to be cautious of this little guy named Ma Sanbao.
Liu Guanfeng nodded and assured his father, "I will be careful from now on." After bidding farewell to his father, he returned to his room.
In his room, Liu Guanfeng contemplated whether he should let Bao Rui and the others try the Iron Skin Soup as well. Thus, he spent the entire night preparing three portions of the soup.
The next morning, he woke up and went to school with Bao Rui and the other two. The morning classes passed quickly, and after lunch, he met Copper Bull at the playground. Bao Rui, Iron Bull, and Platinum Wen also arrived. Seeing everyone come to help moved Copper Bull deeply.
Under the blazing sun, the five of them diligently swept the ground with brooms. Soon, their clothes were soaked with sweat, yet they continued chatting and laughing.
In the office on the third floor, Director Jin watched the five of them cleaning the playground and nodded in approval. "This kid is not bad; he treats his followers like brothers and does not shirk responsibilities when faced with challenges. The only pity is that he cannot cultivate. Otherwise, he might become an extraordinary person in the future."
After working for over half an hour, they had nearly swept half of the playground. Director Jin called out to them from the window, "Alright, you five can go back now; let those three finish the rest."
"Thank you, Director Jin." Liu Guanfeng bowed to Director Jin and then led the four of them back to their dormitory. Afterward, they went to the washroom for a thorough wash. Once they finished washing up and rested for a bit in their dormitory, they headed off to class.
The afternoon classes ended quickly. After dinner, Bao Rui and the other two came to Liu Guanfeng's room for their usual training session. Liu Guanfeng instructed them:
"You three go prepare three wooden tubs for bathing and fill them with water."
The statement left Bao Rui and the others puzzled. However, they quickly fetched the tubs and filled them with water. Once everything was ready, they stood in front of Liu Guanfeng, eager to see what he would do next.
Liu Guanfeng took out the Iron Skin Soup he had prepared last night.
"Third Brother, what is that?" Iron Bull asked with a confused expression.
Liu Guanfeng did not respond to him but gently poured the three portions of soup into the wooden tubs.
"Wow, Third Brother, what did you pour in? The water has turned green!" Iron Bull exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Guanfeng smiled and said to them, "Alright, you can take a bath now. As for what it is, you'll find out after you finish washing. Remember to sit inside and focus on your cultivation, absorbing the medicinal properties in the basin completely."
As soon as the three heard that Liu Guanfeng was talking about medicine, they quickly stripped off their clothes and jumped into the wooden basin. After Liu Guanfeng activated the Spirit Gathering Array, he began to seriously review what he had learned in school that day.
About three hours later, the water in Bao Rui's basin had lost its color. Half an hour later, Copper Bull and Iron Bull had absorbed all the medicinal liquid in their basins. After about four hours, Bao Rui and the others almost simultaneously opened their eyes.
Liu Guanfeng smiled and asked them, "How do you feel?"
After asking this question, Bao Rui excitedly said to me, "Third Brother, it feels amazing! My skin feels much tighter, and while I was absorbing the medicinal properties just now, I broke through! I've already opened five meridians."
"I opened one too," Copper Bull said happily.
"I'm at four meridians now," Iron Bull said, equally excited.
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Not bad, you've all made great progress. Remember that you've absorbed the medicinal properties into your bodies, but you haven't fully refined them yet. The medicinal properties can stay in your bodies for a total of five days, so you need to do your best to refine them within that time."
"Got it, Third Brother. Thank you, Third Brother," the three replied in unison.
"Thank you for what? You're all my brothers. Alright, it's getting late; you should head back now." After removing the Spirit Gathering Array, the three returned to their own rooms.
