Zhang Hao carefully looked at the girl in front of him. He did feel that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember.
Zhang Hao also felt very strange. This girl was quite pretty, so why did he have no impression of her at all?
Seeing that Zhang Hao seemed unable to remember her, the clear-faced girl was instantly a little disappointed. She lowered her head and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, if you can't remember me, then forget it."
Zhang Hao still couldn't remember who this girl was. He awkwardly smiled sheepishly and said, "Haha, remind me, and perhaps I'll remember."
The clear-faced girl quickly said to Zhang Hao, "Senior Apprentice Brother, when I registered, you helped me pay twenty lower grade crystal stones. I've always wanted to return them to you. If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to enter Liuyun College at all."
Zhang Hao clapped his hands and instantly remembered. He said to the clear-faced girl with sudden understanding, "Your name is Jian Xiuyun, I remember!"
Jian Xiuyun was overjoyed and said to Zhang Hao, "Senior Apprentice Brother remembers me?"
"Haha, how could I not remember you? Junior Apprentice Sister Xiuyun is so cute. But how do you know my name?" Zhang Hao looked at Jian Xiuyun curiously, remembering that he hadn't told her.
Jian Xiuyun smiled at Zhang Hao and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother reported your name when you registered, so Xiuyun naturally knows. Moreover, I saw Senior Apprentice Brother display great power and take first place in the assessment."
When Jian Xiuyun said this, her eyes looking at Zhang Hao were filled with endless admiration. When she learned that the handsome youth who had lent her twenty lower grade crystal stones was the peerless Genius who had suppressed countless geniuses and taken first place in the assessment, she couldn't believe her eyes at the time. But the name on the list was clear. From that moment on, Zhang Hao's figure was in Jian Xiuyun's heart. And this figure did not disappear with time, but became even taller.
"Junior Apprentice Sister, what are you talking about with this bumpkin!" A tall youth looked at Zhang Hao with wary eyes.
Xue Fang also walked over and said disdainfully, "Xiuyun, you haven't fallen for this bumpkin, have you?"
Jian Xiuyun discovered that these two were insulting her benefactor. She immediately said forcefully, "Xue Fang, he is my benefactor, not some bumpkin."
"Hmph, don't make excuses. If you're in love, you're in love. What benefactor? Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?" Xue Fang said with great disdain.
"Try calling me a bumpkin again?" Zhang Hao frowned.
"Bumpkin, bumpkin... you're a bumpkin... so what?"
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of Xue Fang. Zhang Hao slapped her, sending her flying out.
Xue Fang screamed and flew backwards. She lay on the ground, blood oozing from her mouth.
"You dare to hit me?" Xue Fang looked at Zhang Hao with some disbelief.
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I originally don't like hitting women, but don't force me."
"You dare to insult our Liuyun College students."
The other two youths were enraged and simultaneously rushed towards Zhang Hao.
"Hmph!"
Zhang Hao waited until the two youths were less than a meter away from him before moving, striking after them. He threw two punches straight out, landing squarely on the youths' chests.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
The two youths screamed twice and flew back like kites with broken strings. They fell to the ground, spitting up large mouthfuls of blood. The two youths looked at Zhang Hao with terrified expressions, clearly not expecting this guy's strength to be so terrifying. Even working together, they were completely no match for him.
Just then, Ning Xue also appeared beside Xue Fang like a ghost and slapped her as well.
With a "Pa!" sound.
Xue Fang screamed again and fell down. This time, the other side of her face was also swollen. Her entire face had become a veritable pig's head.
"Bastard, you dare to hit me, I'll kill you!"
Xue Fang pounced towards Ning Xue. Ning Xue waited until Xue Fang pounced in front of her and slapped her again, sending Xue Fang flying back.
Ning Xue followed like a shadow, her movement technique like lightning as she pounced. She caught up to Xue Fang's body. Her strikes were like lightning, and she slapped her more than a dozen times. Instantly, Xue Fang's entire face became Zhu Bajie's sister.
"Let me tell you, I hit you because you disgraced women. If you want revenge, you can come to Tianwu Academy to find me. My name is Ning Xue," Ning Xue said coldly.
Xue Fang looked at Ning Xue with a look of disbelief, seemingly not expecting Ning Xue to be from Tianwu Academy.
"You're from Tianwu Academy?" Xue Fang looked at Ning Xue blankly.
"I am a student of Tianwu Academy's Inner Courtyard. You are very welcome to come for revenge," Ning Xue said with a very calm expression.
Xue Fang and the other two males instantly deflated. Tianwu Academy was one of the Three Great Academies on the True Martial Continent. Its strength was more than ten times greater than that of a second-rate college like Liuyun College. Moreover, the other party was from the Inner Courtyard. Could it be that this person was a Martial King? It was said that the students of the Three Great Academies' Inner Courtyards were all Martial Kings. Any one of them could sweep through the students of Liuyun College.
"Don't... don't..."
How could Xue Fang and the other two males dare to seek revenge? That would be no different from seeking death.
Jian Xiuyun took out a bag and handed it to Zhang Hao, saying shyly, "Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Hao, these are the crystal stones I borrowed from you. I'm returning them to you now."
Zhang Hao looked at the bag of lower grade crystal stones, shook his head, and smiled, "Haha, these lower grade crystal stones are nothing to me. I was originally going to give them to you. Since it's something I gave away, how can I take it back?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Xiuyun still hesitated a little.
"Haha, if you feel embarrassed, you can treat me to a meal next time," Zhang Hao said to Jian Xiuyun with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Jian Xiuyun's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded, "Okay, it's settled then. Next time, Xiuyun will host and treat Senior Apprentice Brother to a meal."
Xue Fang looked at Jian Xiuyun with extreme jealousy. She had gone to great lengths and only managed to hook up with Su Jianwen, this future Genius. But this Jian Xiuyun had quietly gotten to know a student from Tianwu Academy. And it seemed she was even from the Inner Courtyard. The difference in status was definitely not just a little bit.
The other two males were also very depressed at this moment. It was only now that they finally understood why Jian Xiuyun had always been indifferent to them when they pursued her. It turned out she knew a Genius from Tianwu Academy. Although the two were very confident in themselves, they also knew that there was still a big gap between them and the geniuses of Tianwu Academy.
Zhang Hao said lightly to the two males, "Take your friend away. Don't disturb my and my brother's pleasant time."
The two males quickly agreed. They carried away the unconscious Su Jianwen.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Zhang Hao, I'm leaving," Jian Xiuyun looked at Zhang Hao reluctantly.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet up next time."
Zhang Hao winked at Jian Xiuyun, teasing her with a smile.
Jian Xiuyun's cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded like a startled deer. She nodded at Zhang Hao and turned to leave.
