“Is she Duan Chaoge, the new student this year who’s been hanging around Feng Wu?”
“That’s her alright.”
“Wasn’t she a butterball before? She’s so pretty now.”
“She was poisoned back then. Feng Wu helped her get rid of the toxin, and she’s transformed from a 100kg fatso to a 40kg cutie.”
“I heard Tao Yue’s brother has a thing for pretty girls. I’m sure he’ll cut Duan Chaoge some slack when he sees her pretty face.”
“Don’t be too sure about that. You weren’t here just then, but Duan Chaoge was relentless. Tao Yue’s face is all swollen, and you can see the handprint Duan Chaoge left on her cheek.”
“Chaoge isn’t to be blamed for everything, you know. You weren’t here, but Tao Yue said some pretty mean things. She wouldn’t stop insulting Feng Wu.”
“I don’t think this will end well. Tao Yue’s brother is said to be a very irascible guy with a gang of his own known as ‘Tiger Head.’ It’s quite influential among the Year 2 students.”
“The Year 1 and Year 2 students have lived in peace all this time, but I think something big is about to happen.”
Just then, there were aggressive footsteps in the distance.
“No! That’s Tao Yue!”
“That stalwart young man next to her must be her brother, Tao Hu!”
“Tao Hu has five people with him. Their eyes are glowing; you can tell how capable they are.”
“Oh god, Chaoge is so dead…”
–
Instantly, everyone began to give Chaoge sympathetic looks.
The group of people arrived at Universe Court in no time.
Thump!
Tao Hu kicked the front gate of Universe Court open.
The rumble resonated in the air.
The Year 1 students felt a ringing in their ears and pain in their heads. Everyone paled.
How impressive!
Year 2 students were indeed very capable!
That made sense. It would take most students 10 years to make it from Year 1 to Year 2, and one could learn a lot in those 10 years.
Almost every student backed away when Tao Hu entered, creating a path wide enough for three people to walk through shoulder to shoulder.
“Brother! There’s Duan Chaoge!” Tao Yue was still crying, her face so swollen that she reminded one of a pig.
Seeing the sorry state his baby sister was in, Tao Hu was furious.
He charged out even before Tao Yue was done speaking.
With a heavy cape over his shoulders, he cut quite an imposing figure as he walked.
He quickly approached Duan Chaoge.
“Such a pretty girl!”
That was the first thing Tao Hu thought of when he saw Chaoge.
But his rage took over, and he stared at her. “Are you the one who hurt Tao Yue?”
Chaoge never cowered in front of anyone.
Staring back at Tao Hu, she said coldly, “Yes, but it’s none of your business.”
She admitted it outright.
Covering her swollen cheek with her hand, Guan Jing grinned maliciously.
“Duan Chaoge, since you dare admit it, be prepared to take Tao Hu’s rage!”
The students in the crowd were all scared at what might happen to Chaoge next.
“How can she be so dumb? Why did she admit it?”
