The Shopkeeper turned to the Young Assistant and asked, "Is what this young man said true?"
In fact, everything Liu Guanfeng mentioned was what the Young Assistant had witnessed, so when the Shopkeeper inquired, the Young Assistant could only admit, "That's how it is."
The Shopkeeper said to the Young Assistant, "Since you broke this piece of clothing, it will be deducted from your wages. Now return the money to this young man."
Afterward, the Young Assistant returned the gold coin given by the scarred man to Liu Guanfeng. The Shopkeeper then stepped forward to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, young sir. It's all because of the Young Assistant's ignorance. Please don't be angry. We welcome you to come again in the future."
After receiving the gold coin, Liu Guanfeng turned and walked outside, shaking his head as he went. "The clothes from Rui Xiang Clothing Store are really not durable; they can get damaged even before wearing them. Sigh..."
Hearing Liu Guanfeng's words, the Shopkeeper's expression began to change. He turned around and glared fiercely at the Young Assistant.
Bao Rui, who was behind them, immediately understood Liu Guanfeng's intention after hearing his words. "Yes, it's too flimsy; it broke before we even wore it. If it's broken, then it's our fault? How ridiculous!" After saying this, he elbowed Copper Bull beside him. Only then did Copper Bull grasp what Liu Guanfeng and Bao Rui meant.
"Who says otherwise? With clothes like these, if they come apart on the street, wouldn't that turn into a live performance?"
Although Iron Bull didn't know what was going on, he enjoyed fanning the flames: "I think Rui Xiang Clothing Store should just change its name to Ripped Clothing Store."
Liu Guanfeng spoke inside the Clothing Store and his voice wasn't loud, but Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull intentionally raised their voices. By this time, they had already reached outside the store. A few customers who intended to buy clothes changed their minds after hearing their conversation and headed to another Clothing Store.
Inside the store, upon hearing the comments from outside, the Shopkeeper's face darkened as he called the Young Assistant upstairs. After some investigation, not only did the Shopkeeper make the Young Assistant pay for the torn clothing, but he also fined him two Silver Coins.
After the group of six people exited the Clothing Store, Wang Jiao approached Liu Guanfeng and tugged at his arm. "Hey~ Liu Guanfeng, was that incident with the clothing your doing? How did you manage that?" Seeing that no one was around, Liu Guanfeng shared how he had done it, causing the three boys to laugh uncontrollably while the two girls giggled with delight.
Wang Jiao laughed even more exaggeratedly, almost gasping for breath while holding his stomach and patting Liu Guanfeng's shoulder. "I didn't expect you to be this bad, you’re killing me with laughter."
Liu Guanfeng, however, said with a serious face, "Who told him to bully you two? This is my principle in life. I can take the heat, but I will never let my friends be bullied."
After saying that, Liu Guanfeng looked up at the sky. After being guided by the two girls and considering the situation at the Clothing Store, it was already getting late.
"Let’s go eat something to calm the two ladies down."
After having a meal at a small restaurant, they came out and Liu Guanfeng led the other five back to the Blacksmith Shop they visited at noon. Liu Guanfeng took out several dozen thumb-sized funnels made of iron sheets from the Blacksmith Shop. The thin end was as thick as a pinky finger, while the thick end was slightly thicker than a thumb. He also retrieved a military-grade iron shovel, which had one side as a shovel head and the other as a pickaxe head. It was foldable and very convenient to carry.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng bring these items back from the Blacksmith Shop, the others asked him what they were for. Liu Guanfeng shook his head and replied, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
After that, he led Bao Rui, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull towards Meteor Academy. Meanwhile, Wang Jiao and Li Xiaohan sat on Fire and XP in front to clear the way for the four of them.
On the other side, Fourth Miss Chen Yuer returned home angrily after being humiliated at the Clothing Store. After Scar sent away several subordinates, he followed Chen Yuer into her room and kept apologizing to her. Chen Yuer relentlessly questioned Scar about what happened. Scar explained how Chen Whirlwind sought him out and was defeated by Liu Guanfeng, along with details about his older brother Liu Guanlei.
Chen Yuer instructed Scar, "Go find Chen Whirlwind for me. You useless fool, get out of my sight; just seeing you annoys me."
In a short while, Chen Whirlwind arrived at Chen Yuer's door and gently knocked. "Come in," came Chen Yuer's voice from inside.
Chen Whirlwind cautiously approached Chen Yuer and bowed deeply. "I greet Fourth Young Lady. May I ask why Fourth Young Lady summoned me?"
Chen Yuer sat in her chair and said, "I heard that you have a grudge against that guy named Liu Guanfeng?"
“Liu Guanfeng? I wonder why you mentioned this person, Miss?”
“I was bullied by this Little Guy named Liu Guanfeng when I went out today. I want you to help me take revenge. Can you do that?”
“I will definitely do my best to help the Miss get her revenge.”
“I’m not asking you to do your best; I’m telling you to make sure it gets done. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely help the Miss get her revenge. Does Fourth Young Lady have any other matters?”
“Hmm, just this matter. You may leave now.”
Chen Whirlwind came out of Chen Yuer's room and went to find Dong Ning. Among the usual group of people he hung out with, Dong Ning was the one who had the most connections, so whenever there was an issue, they had developed a habit of turning to Dong Ning for help. Moreover, Liu Guanfeng was also an enemy of Dong Ning, so Chen Whirlwind's first thought was to go to Dong Ning.
About half an hour later, Dong Ning arrived at Chen Whirlwind's room.
“Brother Chen, I wonder why you called me here in such a hurry,” Dong Ning asked as soon as he entered.
“Come, Brother Dong, have a seat. Today, our Fourth Young Lady ran into Liu Guanfeng and suffered a loss because of him. She just called me over to help her take revenge. I brought you here to brainstorm some ideas so we can help our Fourth Young Lady get her revenge,” Chen Whirlwind got straight to the point.
Hearing Chen Whirlwind's words, Dong Ning felt a bit amused: “In that case, let me think about it carefully.”
Dong Ning walked back and forth in Chen Whirlwind's room while pinching his chin in thought. After a while, he returned to his seat and looked at Chen Whirlwind: “Brother Chen, for now, I think we should not take action against Liu Guanfeng.”
"How do you say, why can't we move against him?"
"The last time the Scar Brothers mentioned it, they said he has never fought Liu Guanfeng, which indicates that Liu Guanfeng's strength should be around that of a Junior Knight. I really can't understand how a useless person can possess such strong abilities, and they should have been at Meteor Academy recently, so we can't send people in openly."
"What should we do then?" Chen Whirlwind seemed a bit anxious.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. Let Younger Brother explain further. We can't send anyone in, but isn't there someone who can enter reasonably?" Dong Ning winked at Chen Whirlwind.
"Who can enter reasonably?" Chen Whirlwind surprisingly didn't understand Dong Ning's meaning.
"Think about it, Brother Chen. Who can reasonably enter Meteor Academy now?" Dong Ning prompted further.
"Who else? The students participating in the Campus Competition."
Dong Ning snapped his fingers. "Exactly, it's the students participating in the Campus Competition."
Chen Whirlwind looked at Dong Ning. "Brother Dong, are you out of your mind? Didn't you just say that kid Liu Guanfeng can't even handle Scar?"
"Brother Chen, don't be anxious. I didn't say we should target Liu Guanfeng himself; I meant to deal with the people around Liu Guanfeng, to make him angry and upset. Isn't that much better than directly attacking him? Also, have you seen the little dog next to Liu Guanfeng? I know Liu Guanfeng is someone who cannot cultivate; I don't know how he contracted that little dog. What good mount can a person who can't practice martial arts contract? We can approach it from this angle. By the way, Brother Chen, do you know any students from other academies?" Dong Ning looked up at Chen Whirlwind.
"Students from other academies? I think I know a few from Starlight Academy in Rain City. What's up?"
"Brother Chen, lean in closer." Chen Whirlwind pressed his ear directly against Dong Ning's...
"Brother Dong, that was indeed a good strategy. I admire you," the two of them communicated the details in Chen Whirlwind's room.
The next day, students from other academies began to enter Meteor Academy one after another. By the seventh hour, all four other academies had arrived. Before the competition started, students from each academy were accustomed to sparring with each other, both to practice their combat skills and to create psychological pressure through their strength.
As soon as Stream Academy from Creek City entered Meteor Academy, this friendly sparring began.
On the morning of the eighth, Bao Rui had breakfast and was taken away by Wang Jiao. Liu Guanfeng, the very mature bodyguard, felt helpless about this. After resting for a while in the morning, Copper Bull and Iron Bull wanted to go out and take a look. Liu Guanfeng, being someone who did not enjoy crowds, chose not to follow them. As the brothers left, Liu Guanfeng repeatedly reminded them not to cause trouble.
The group did not return until lunchtime. However, Liu Guanfeng was not too worried; their strength ensured safety within Meteor Academy, so he did not pay much attention. During their absence, Liu Guanfeng took the opportunity to work on some small gadgets.
When he heard about participating in the Hunting Competition, he became interested. Liu Guanfeng had little experience with hunting, so he recalled how people used to steal chickens in Guo Degang's crosstalk. He then customized several small funnel-like devices at the Blacksmith Shop and obtained many beans from Meteor Academy's cafeteria. These beans were slightly larger than soybeans and fit perfectly into the narrow end of the small funnels.
Liu Guanfeng tied the small funnels and beans together with silk thread, ensuring that the beans were secured at the front of the funnels. This way, when turkeys or Golden Roosters consumed the small beans, the funnels would get stuck in their throats, making it impossible for them to spit it out or swallow it down.
When Wang Jiao and others asked Liu Guanfeng about this method earlier, he was unsure if it would work, so he could only keep it a secret.
Bao Rui and his companions returned just before dinner, each with tears on their faces and bloodstains on their bodies. Seeing this, Liu Guanfeng asked in a deep voice, "Why are you all back now? Where are Fire and Benben? What happened to those bloodstains on you?"
Hearing Liu Guanfeng's question, Bao Rui stepped forward: "Third Brother, both Copper Bull and my Mount were injured badly; it will probably take at least ten days to recover."
Eggplant was excited; signing a contract was within reach.
