The City Protection Bureau had spent much effort and engaged many martial warriors in this operation. The chief of the City Protection Bureau had to deal with immense pressure when he decided to carry out this operation.
After all, this piece of news came from a paper with an unknown source. They didn’t even know who the informant was.
He might be playing with them, or even worse, this might be a trap. They could suffer a huge loss if things went south.
All of this was part of their consideration. It wasn’t easy to engage all this manpower.
If something untoward happened, the chief of the City Protection Bureau would have to bear responsibility.
Fortunately, the result was good. The content on the paper wasn’t fake. This time, they gained merit.
At this moment, Chief Tan of the City Protection Bureau looked at the bunch of evil clansmen in front of him and felt happy. However, he maintained the intimidating aura of a leader and patted his subordinates’ shoulders occasionally as an encouragement.
When he passed by the pile of 12 pig heads, he was slightly stunned.
“Little Liu, what is going on? Why did you beat them up so badly? This is a little inhumane. Yes, the evil clansmen are wicked, but we, the City Protection Bureau, have to be humane. We need to deal with them using humane methods!” Chief Tan regained his senses and coughed dryly as he said.
Humane methods?!
What do you mean by humane methods!
If this person in front of them wasn’t their immediate superior, Little Liu and his colleague would have refuted him.
When did the City Protection Bureau ever act humanely? However, they didn’t have the guts to say this.
They still needed their jobs. It was hard to support one’s family in this current society. They could never lose their job.
Little Liu smiled and said obsequiously, “Chief, you’re right. However, this is not done by the two of us. We were just in charge of dragging them here.”
“You didn’t do it? Who did it then?” Chief Tan was puzzled.
“We don’t know. However, it should be one of our own,” Little Liu replied with a bitter smile.
“You’re not lying to me?” Chief Tan still didn’t believe them.
“Chief, we wouldn’t dare to lie to you. If you don’t believe us, we can swear to heaven.” Little Liu lifted his hand and wanted to make a vow.
“Alright, alright.” Chief Tan waved his hand. He rubbed his chin as he said, “I didn’t expect our City Protection Bureau to have such a talent.”
Little Liu and his colleague: …
Who was the one that said this was an inhumane act a moment ago? Why are you saying that this person is a talent now?
Chief, you have double standards!
If you continue like this, you’ll lose two outstanding workers.
“Cough, the two of you are not bad. Work hard. I have high hopes for you.”
Chief Tan seemed to have realized his error. He quickly salvaged the situation and then walked away calmly with his hands behind his back.
…
Wang Teng returned to his rented house in the university town. He realized that after this trip, he was a little hungry. He called for food delivery.
He would order some Chinese barbecue and a bottle of coke!
Yes, this is how you should eat at night.
What a good life!
Fat?
What is that? As a martial warrior, I have no fear of getting fat!
While waiting for food, Wang Teng pulled out his attributes panel and looked at it.
His spirit and enlightenment attributes had increased. Although all he got were normal spirit and enlightenment attributes, they won by numbers.
Enlightenment: Spiritual realm (12.5/100)
Spirit: Spiritual realm (4.5/100)
Then, his five elements increased individually too. Besides his fire element attribute, the other four attributes were close to reaching the 2-star level.
Wang Teng didn’t waste his time. His enlightenment had increased, so he started practicing his battle technique without further ado.
40 minutes later, his food arrived.
He opened the door and walked out. A food delivery young man was standing at the entrance.
“Hello, your food delivery is here!” He sounded extremely polite.
Wang Teng nodded and thanked the delivery man. Life was tough. He still needed to send deliveries in the middle of the night.
After dropping Wang Teng’s order, the delivery man went next door. The person who opened the door was a pretty lady. Wang Teng didn’t take notice of her, though. He closed the door directly, but he didn’t return to his room. He ate his supper in the courtyard.
The moment he sat down, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Teng frowned. He got up and opened the door. The lady next door was standing outside.
She was wearing short pants and a shirt, with her hair tied up in a bun. It made her look youthful and witty. She seemed to be around 20 years old, and her beauty was 8 out of 10.
“Hello, the delivery man gave me the wrong order just now. I looked at the address, and I think it’s yours. Can you see if you got my order?” The beauty was holding the delivery bags in her hand as she spoke in a slightly embarrassed tone.
“Oh?” Wang Teng looked at the name and address on the delivery bag. He said in a surprised tone, “It’s really mine.”
“Wait for a moment. Let me take a look and see if I took your food.” Wang Teng turned and walked back into his courtyard. He looked at the address on the bag.
Indeed, it was wrong.
He had only glanced at the name of the shop on the receipt just now to confirm that it was right. He didn’t look at the address and name. Who would have thought that his neighbor had ordered from the same shop? The delivery man even messed up their order. What a coincidence.
“Take a look. Is this yours? I haven’t opened it yet.” Wang Teng passed the delivery bag to her.
“Yes, it’s mine. Thank you, little brother.” The lady with the bun smiled like a blooming flower.
“You’re welcome. You don’t really have to thank me, though,” Wang Teng said.
“Alright.” The lady with a bun nodded. She seemed to have a good impression of Wang Teng. She stretched out her dainty little hand and smiled. “Let’s get to know each other. My name is Yan Xin. I live beside you. Please take care of me in the future.”
Looking at the lively beauty in front of him, Wang Teng was slightly shocked. He lifted his hand and smiled. “My name is Wang Teng. We’re neighbors now. You don’t have to be so polite!”
“Did you just move in? I don’t think I’ve seen you before,” Yan Xin said.
“I’ve rented this place for some time, but I was busy. I couldn’t move in immediately. I have many things to do, so I don’t come here often,” Wang Teng said.
“Wow, you rented such a big house, but you don’t come here often. You must be wealthy,” Yan Xin teased him.
Wang Teng smiled. He didn’t continue the topic but instead asked, “What about you? Are you a student from a nearby university?”
“That’s right. I’m a student at Donghai Teaching University. I’ll be a year three student after this summer break. I’m normally out doing a part-time job. When I go back late at night sometimes, the dormitory auntie doesn’t allow me to enter. It’s a little inconvenient, so I rented a house outside with a few of my friends,” Yan Xin said. “You must be a student of a nearby university too. Let me guess. You must be a freshman. You came here to experience the university town first, right?”
“Yes, I’m indeed a freshman at Huanghai Military Academy.” Wang Teng nodded.
“Wow, Huanghai Military Academy!” Yan Xin looked at Wang Teng in astonishment. She said, “You must be practicing martial arts, right? Sounds like you’re really powerful.”
“Yes, I do practice martial arts.” Wang Teng nodded.
“I admire martial arts students like you so much. Y’all receive good treatment, have high status, and are powerful. After you graduate, you will be the elite of the elites, especially the students from Huanghai Military Academy. I’ve heard that after graduation, you guys have a chance of entering the military directly,” Yan Xin sounded more and more envious as she spoke.
“It’s not so exaggerated. Your university is not bad either. It’s nice to become a teacher after you graduate. You will get respected,” said Wang Teng.
“Sigh, let’s not talk about that. It’s a sad story. Nowadays, it’s not easy to become a teacher of a public school. If you want to teach in a top high school, you need to graduate with a master’s degree. If you choose an elementary school or a junior high, the treatment won’t be as good as a high school. It’s so difficult.” Yan Xin sighed again with an agonized expression.
In an instant, Wang Teng didn’t know how to console her. He just had a hearty talk with a slight acquaintance. After all, they had just met.
“Haha, sorry to bother you. I accidentally started complaining to you while chatting.” Yan Xin suddenly realized the situation and smiled bitterly.
“It’s alright. I just don’t know how to console you,” Wang Teng said.
“Haha, this is not good. You must learn how to coax a lady. Oh, I should be going back now. I won’t disturb you anymore… Oh right, let’s exchange WeChat. If little brother wants to get to know the environment here, I can be your guide,” Yan Xin took out her phone and said.
Exchange WeChat!
Ladies nowadays really liked to exchange WeChat with other people. Seriously…
“Okay~ Let’s exchange our WeChat. I’m not familiar with the university town anyway.” Wang Teng pretended to be serious.
Yan Xin added Wang Teng’s WeChat and went back to her rented house.
The two ladies peeking at the side of the door immediately pretended that they didn’t see anything. They gathered around and asked, “Xinxin, tell us, what did you do? Why did it take you so long to come back?”
“Let me tell you, our neighbor is a really handsome young boy.” Yan Xin was a little excited as she spoke.
“Really!”
“Really!”
The two lady’s eyes lit up, their voices joining together in unplanned unison.
Just now, Wang Teng was standing inside the door, so they couldn’t see his face. When they heard their friend’s words, they suddenly felt a hint of surprise.
After all, he was just living opposite. They were able to enjoy the benefits of a favorable position.
“Haha, if you want to know, you have to clean the clothes for the entire week next week.” Yan Xin waved her phone. “I’ve already added his WeChat.”
“Ah! How despicable. You actually got his WeChat. Yan Xin, you’re a scheming lady,” the two ladies shouted.
“Hmph, looks like you don’t want to know him. How dare you call me a scheming lady,” Yan Xin said.
“Don’t do that. We want to know. Good Xinxin, we were wrong. We’ll do your laundry for one week,” the two ladies hugged Yan Xin’s arms, each on one side, and shook it continuously as they begged for forgiveness.
“Haha, this feels good!”
Yan Xin raised her snow-white neck and said with a look of disdain, “There’s no need to say anymore. You must at least wash my clothes for two weeks now. If not, nothing is negotiable.”
“Ah! Two weeks!” The two ladies cried bitterly.
“If you hesitate any longer, don’t come and beg me the next time you see the real person. At that time, it won’t be something that can be solved with two weeks of clothes,” Yan Xin said.
“Alright, alright, we will wash them for you. It’s just two weeks, right?” The two ladies exchanged glances with each other. They gritted their teeth and agreed to Yan Xin’s request.
“You need to wash them with your hands, especially my undergarments,” Yan Xin said.
“Don’t worry, we won’t be careless. Hurry up and tell us,” said the two ladies.
Then, it was a round of private lady’s talk. They ate their barbeque and chatted about the young man next door. In their excitement, they would even let out a scream or two.
Men were not the only people who talked about pretty ladies. When ladies were free, they would talk about men too.
…
The next day, at 8 am.
Yan Xin and her two roommates went out together to head to work. When they went past Wang Teng’s door, they saw a few delivery men moving some things into his courtyard.
Wang Teng stood at the side and was verifying something with one of the delivery men.
“He’s really handsome!”
“Also, he looks like a mature person.”
Yan Xin’s two roommates were good-looking, just like her. When they saw Wang Teng standing in the courtyard, their eyes lit up like light bulbs. They spoke in hushed voices.
“Xinxin, let’s go over and greet him!” one of Yan Xin’s roommates, Sun Xiuyun, said.
“That’s right. Let’s go and greet him. You can introduce us to him too,” the other roommate, Li Qian, urged her.
“I really have nothing to say about the two of you.”
Yan Xin felt helpless. She didn’t know what to say about her two friends who took love more seriously than friendship. However, she still listened to their request and greeted Wang Teng, “Morning!”
The battle uniform and other items he purchased yesterday had arrived. Wang Teng was signing the invoice when he heard a voice and turned around. He saw three beautiful ladies.
One of them was Yan Xin, whom he had chatted with yesterday.
“Morning!” He walked out of the courtyard and smiled as he greeted her. He asked, “Are you going out for work?”
“Yes. I was just preparing to head out. What are you doing? Why are there so many cartons?” Yan Xin asked curiously.
“Oh, I’m preparing to go out, so I bought some kits,” Wang Teng didn’t explain in detail.
Yan Xin noticed that he didn’t want to talk much, so she stopped probing. At this moment, her roommates were poking her waist with their fingers from the back.
Naturally, she knew what her irritating besties wanted to do. She rolled her eyes secretly, but she still introduced them. “Oh right, let me introduce my two roommates to you. This short-haired lady is called Sun Xiuyun and the long-haired one is Li Qian.”
…
Wang Teng felt speechless when she listened to Yan Xin’s perfunctory introduction.
Sun Xiuyun and Li Qian were furious. They were going to end all relationships with her, end all relationships… they wouldn’t be besties anymore!
“Hello, I’m Sun Xiuyun.”
“Hello, I’m Li Qian.”
The two of them gave their most beautiful smile as they introduced themselves.
“Nice to meet you!” Wang Teng nodded in response. He smiled and said, “You should know my name already.”
The delivery men all saw Wang Teng chatting happily with three equally beautiful ladies. They were green with envy.
So what if you are handsome!
So what if you have money!
Don’t you know that it’s against the law to tease ladies!
Unfortunately, they only dared to complain in their hearts. They knew that the youth in front of them wasn’t just simply rich and handsome.
He was a martial warrior!
In front of a martial warrior, they should just keep some things in their hearts. They didn’t dare to display their emotions openly.
“Mr. Wang, your items are all here. We’ll make a move now,” one of the delivery men walked over and said.
“Alright, thanks for your help!” Wang Teng nodded.
“It’s our job, it’s our job.” The delivery men felt overwhelmed by the special favor.
“We are leaving for work now. Let’s keep in touch.” Yan Xin and her friends bid farewell to him.
“Alright,” Wang Teng replied.
The three ladies walked out of the alley. Li Qian suddenly said, “Did you notice the symbol of Jixin Martial House on the clothes of the delivery men and the cartons in the courtyard.”
“Jixin Martial House!”
“One of the top three martial arts academies!”
Yan Xin and Sun Xiuyun recalled carefully. That seemed to be the truth. They gave a look of surprise uncontrollably.
Even normal people knew Jixin Martial House in this martial arts era, much less university students like them.
“This Junior Brother Wang Teng doesn’t seem like a simple person!” Li Qian commented.
