Chapter 659 - Duplicity

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“This duel is your idea, and the Tu family has accepted it. It is scheduled for next week. You are to stay home and are not allowed to go out before then.”

Du Laoliu’s father threw him inside a room after telling him this.

As he was leaving, he thought of something and paused. He turned, looked at Du Laoliu, and said, “You are a real loser. I sent you to the academy hoping that you could one day be better than others—not for you to keep on losing!”

After he finished speaking, he turned to slam the door as he walked away.

“Send three meals to the room daily and don’t let him out.”

“Sir, someone from the Xu family is here to see him.”

“Ask him to come in.”

Soon after, Xu Peng rushed into Du Laoliu’s room with a roar and yelled, “Are you crazy? Tu Yu is at the Kismet Heaven level! Even though he only attained this recently, you are still no match for him.”

Du Laoliu said expressionlessly, “I know I am crazy—really crazy. I was insane to elope with Jiyue, but I have to be crazy at this time because if Jiyue marries Tu Yu, Tu Yu will never let her off.”

“What are you going to do now? The fight is next week! Not to mention that it’s such a short time, even a year would not be enough for you to prepare.” Xu Peng paced to and fro out of extreme worry.

“I have a request for you!” Du Laoliu sat there holding his head in his hands.

Xu Peng stopped pacing and said, “Speak up! I will help if I can.”

Du Laoliu looked up and said seriously, “I should be going there personally, but I can’t go out. Help me to beg Yagui for help since he can certainly come up with some ideas.”

Xu Peng knocked on his bald head and decided that this was feasible. Without question, the physical strength of Yagui was very low since he couldn’t even beat a small boy the year before.

However, Yagui had various unusual and useful gadgets at his disposal.

Assuming Du Laoliu were to get some of these gadgets from Yagui, Du Laoliu might be able to win.

“Fine!” Xu Peng nodded and said, “I will go and beg Yagui tomorrow.”

Early the next morning, Xu Peng was surrounded by many students when he arrived at the academy.

“Has Du Laoliu been caught? Although he was arrested, he acted like a man!”

“He challenged Tu Yu to a fight, but he is definitely no match for Tu Yu. What is he thinking?”

“What is on his mind? A person will fight to the death in a situation like this! He eloped with Shi Jiyue and got caught. Tu Yu also hates Shi Jiyue now, so if Du Laoliu is terrified, I will despise him!”

“Enough! Stop quarrelling!” Xu Peng was forced to shout. “Whatever you say, he’s my brother and I must help him this time. Everyone, help think of a way to enable him to beat Tu Yu.”

After that, everyone quieted down and appeared to fall into deep thought.

“A Four-way Heaven against a Kismet Heaven—it’s impossible to win.” Tong Lan snorted.

“It’s impossible to win the normal way, but if you want to use an unorthodox way, you have to ask Yagui.” Shi Gan laughed softly.

“My sentiments exactly. I will ask Yagui for help soon.” Xu Peng nodded.

Shi Gan pondered, then said, “I will accompany you! It is best to have more people. Tong Lan, are you coming?”

“I’m not coming! Although Shi Jiyue is pitiful, I do not want to beg Yagui,” Tong Lan said with a sneer.

“Should we ask Yagui for help when he arrives later?” Xu Peng asked.

“Wait until after school is over.”

Immediately after school ended, Ren Baqian was sitting in his office when he saw a few people rushing in. It was Xu Peng, Shi Gan, and two female students.

“Teacher, Du Laoliu was caught yesterday and is currently imprisoned in his home,” Shi Gan said.

“I have known this since yesterday.” Ren Baqian looked at them. “Did you come here to tell me this?”

Xu Peng hastily stepped up and said, “Teacher, please help Du Laoliu. Since he ran away with Shi Jiyue, this made Tu Yu hate him and Jiyue will not have a good time if she marries him. Du Laoliu has no choice but to duel Tu Yu in one week. If it is a normal fight, Du Laoliu is definitely no match for Tu Yu. Only teacher can help him!”

“I can’t help you with this matter.” Ren Baqian shook his head.

“Teacher!” Xu Peng was shocked because he was harboring great hope and didn’t expect Ren Baqian to reject him.

“Teacher, no matter what, Du Laoliu has been a student of this academy for a year. If he can’t even beat Tu Yu, it won’t make you look good either,” Shi Gan said with a smile.

“That’s right! Teacher, please help them. If Shi Jiyue gets married to Tu Yu, it will be terrible.”

“Does teacher have the heart to see your own student getting beaten up like this.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to help—I’m unable to help.” Ren Baqian shook his head.

He explained, “The marriage was arranged between the Tu and the Shi families. By eloping, Du Laoliu and Shi Jiyue abandoned their families and brought this upon themselves.

I’m your teacher. What I do is teach you the values and explain them. When you make a mistake, I have to punish you in order to correct you.

What has Tu Yu done wrong in this matter? Nothing. These two have to face the consequences for what they did.”

Therefore, knowing that you are in the wrong, how can I help you achieve your goal of defeating a person who did nothing wrong?”

Ren Baqian’s words made everyone stiffen.

“Thus, I can’t help you guys.” Ren Baqian put down the thing he was holding and walked across in front of them. “I have some things in my office. If they go missing, the four of you will be punished with cleaning the toilets for one month.”

After he finished speaking, Ren Baqian did not care about their reactions and went back to the palace with his guards. Tu Yu did nothing wrong, but he was foul-mouthed! This would cause bad luck.

“What did Yagui mean?” Xu Peng was dazed.

“Stupid! He told you the things are in his office! However, the four of us have to clean the toilets for a month!” The smile that was on Shi Gan’s face finally disappeared.

When was the last time they had to clean the toilets? It seemed to be two months ago and was no different from what happened yesterday.

“Wasn’t he against this idea? Why did he leave those things here?” Xu Peng was still somewhat confused.

“If he agrees, he has to intervene, but he obviously does not want to get involved. If we steal those things, we can’t blame him. Plus, we will also be punished!” Shi Gan said disgustedly. “He has planned it all out. It was enough for you to come alone—there was no need for me to come along!”

The two female students simply kept quiet.

“If we have to, then we’ll clean!” Xu Peng grinned. “Let’s quickly look for the stuff. Where are those things?”

“They must be in an obvious place, such as this box!” Shi Gan opened a box in the corner and discovered that it was filled with strange things.

“What are these? Who among you knows?”

Shi Gan took some out and commented, “These are flashbangs that were used in the attacks in Tianjing Basin!”

“Wrong! This box is labeled ‘stun grenades’ and this box says ‘sonic bombs.’”

Next, he took out something quite different and said with uncertainty, “I don’t know what this is…”

Qing Lian, who was passing by the door, saw the thing in Shi Gan’s hand and immediately changed her expression.

Other people might not recognize that thing, but she could recognize it even if it was reduced to ashes! If possible, she didn’t wish to see this thing again.

Qing Lian leaned against the window and hastily shouted, “Don’t touch that thing recklessly! Where are you from?”

“Do you know what it is?” Shi Gan asked.

“Skunk bombs! The emperor of Great Xia died from the stench!” Qing Lian said disgustedly.

“Wow!” These students were stunned. Upon hearing this from Qing Lian, they learned what this thing was and that it was a real killer.

The problem was that when this thing was used, everyone perished together.

“There’s also this thing that many of the senior officials wear.”

“These are sunglasses. They are used to shield against bright lights.”

“Let’s search some more. Maybe we can find some other useful things. Regardless, we are being punished and will increase our gains if we take more…”

“There are two stun batons here. The label says so!”

“This shoe is full of spikes on the bottom and can eject a blade.”

“Keep it properly and take it back later.”

“Yagui said no, but he meant yes. He prepared all these things, yet said that he didn’t want to get involved! Let me just say that Du Laoliu is also his student and that he doesn’t want to see his student lose.”

“Where is Yagui’s gun? Go look for it.”

“I can’t find the big one, but here’s a small one!”
