As the words fell, Zhou Fujun seemed ready to take action. Yan Ruyu and Zhou Keren saw this and, almost instinctively, placed themselves directly in front of Xu Fan.
This momentarily stunned Zhou Fujun. He then cast a glance at Xu Fan, thinking, what makes this guy so special?
"Mr. Zhou, this is a school, and it might not be appropriate for you to take action here..."
Yan Ruyu once again began to plead earnestly. Zhou Fujun listened and sneered, "Yan Ruyu, do you really think that, for me, there's any difference between doing it here at school and anywhere else?"
"..."
Yan Ruyu frowned. Indeed, with Zhou Fujun's status and background, even if he were to cripple Xu Fan right in front of her, he wouldn't find himself in the slightest trouble.
What to do...
Yan Ruyu looked at Xu Fan, her eyes filled with growing anxiety.
Her relationship with Zhou Fujun wasn't particularly deep, and the person Xu Fan had offended was like a brother to him. Now, to make Zhou Fujun back down seemed incredibly difficult...
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you like collecting weapons. As it happens, my family has an ancestral Tang dynasty Xiushui Sword. How about I gift this sword to you?"
Besides appealing to his interests, Yan Ruyu could think of no other solution at that moment.
This Xiushui Sword was one of her grandfather Yan Qiushan's most beloved collectibles and now, to resolve Xu Fan's trouble, Yan Ruyu could only force herself to part with it.
Although it might displease her grandfather, Yan Ruyu found herself devoid of alternatives at that moment.
She bit her lip and explained further, "Mr. Zhou, what do you say?"
Upon hearing about the Xiushui Sword, Zhou Fujun had already halted his advance. Yan Ruyu's grandfather, Yan Qiushan, indeed had many valuable items, and this Xiushui Sword was one of his favorites.
If he remembered correctly, the sword was probably worth a hefty six to seven hundred thousand...
Zhou Fujun shook his head, failing to understand Yan Ruyu's actions. He looked at Xu Fan—who was now hiding behind two women—with disdain and snorted.
He thought to himself: Does this greenhorn really deserve such a valuable gift from Yan Ruyu as his savior?
"Hmph, Yan Ruyu, since you've promised, I won't hold back. Tomorrow, I'll go to your grandfather's place to collect the item. Just don't go back on your word then."
Zhou Fujun ultimately agreed. Seeing this, Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief; the trouble seemed to be resolved at this point.
She smiled, turned to face Xu Fan, and said, "Xu Fan, Mr. Zhou is magnanimous and has decided not to pursue this matter further. Next time, you had better not get into more trouble."
"..."
Xu Fan watched all this happen, feeling both amused and bemused. What were these two women doing?
Without waiting for any reaction from him, they had promptly stepped in front of him and taken matters into their own hands.
Xu Fan smirked, wondering if perhaps they trusted his abilities a bit too little?
He glanced at Zhou Fujun, who now seemed quite content, most likely because of the Xiushui Sword.
Looking at this, it seemed that the Xiushui Sword must be quite important to Yan Ruyu.
Xu Fan shook his head; Yan Ruyu was indeed kind-hearted, but this sacrifice seemed a bit too wasteful...
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
As he was pondering if there was a way to prevent Yan Ruyu from incurring such significant expenses for his sake, the office door suddenly swung open, and Zhou Xiaoshuai strode in.
"Grandpa, have you already given this guy a lesson on my behalf?"
Zhou Xiaoshuai rushed to Zhou Fujun's side and excitedly asked.
As soon as he saw Xu Fan, he frowned and thought, "Is Grandpa being too polite?"
If it were me, I'd definitely beat this guy to a pulp!
"Xiaoshuai, this guy already knows he's wrong, this time, let's be the bigger person and not stoop to his level. Let's spare this little bastard!"
Now that he had Yan Ruyu's promise, Zhou Fujun began to speak magnanimously, as if bestowing charity.
Then, he looked at Zhou Xiaoshuai with affection and asked, "Xiaoshuai, what were you up to just now?"
As Zhou Fujun brought this up, Zhou Xiaoshuai couldn't help but raise his head proudly.
"Hehe, Grandpa, I might not have made it clear to you, this guy, he actually had a few companions. Just now, I personally taught those two a lesson. Hmph, I feel much better now."
"What!"
Xu Fan's eyes widened in shock when he heard Zhou Xiaoshuai's words!
Now with support behind him, Zhou Xiaoshuai looked at Xu Fan with undeniable pride, his mouth curling up as he mocked deliberately, "Hmph, Xu Fan, you heard right, just now, I beat up your two brothers. What, got a problem with that?"
"I told you before, you can't provoke my grandpa, but you just had to provoke me. You asked for this outcome! From now on, you'd better watch how you behave in school, keep a low profile, and don't fucking provoke me again, got it?"
Having said his piece, Zhou Xiaoshuai felt an intense wave of satisfaction. Man, it was lucky his grandpa was there. Otherwise, how could he brag like this in front of the principal?
"Are you done talking?"
At that moment, Xu Fan walked out from behind Zhou Keren with a dark expression on his face. Clearly, Zhou Xiaoshuai's words did not amuse him...
With Zhou Fujun right beside him, Zhou Xiaoshuai felt no fear. As he saw Xu Fan walking towards him, the corner of his mouth twisted into a taunt, "What, Xu Fan, want to hear it again?"
"Your grandpa my ass!"
Xu Fan moved like a gust of wind and slapped Zhou Xiaoshuai across the face with the back of his hand!
The slap came so quickly that even Zhou Fujun hadn't anticipated it, and he watched in horror as his grandson was struck in front of him, immediately flying into a rage!
"You little punk! I spared you out of pity, and you dare to act up in front of me?"
"Heh."
Xu Fan glanced at Zhou Xiaoshuai, who'd been sent flying, and then his gaze settled on the livid Zhou Fujun.
"When did I say I needed your charity?"
After speaking, Xu Fan turned to look at Yan Ruyu.
This woman, she must have been trying to help him just now.
"Beautiful principal, I appreciate your kindness, but giving your family's treasured Xiushui Sword to such a disrespectful old man seems like a waste to me."
Without waiting for Yan Ruyu to interject, Xu Fan turned his head back around.
He looked at Zhou Fujun with a slight smile, "Old man, didn't you say you wanted to have a match with me, to see if I could last ten moves against you?"
"Alright then, since both grandfather and grandson won't behave, today, I'll take it upon myself to teach you both a lesson in how to behave."
"Hmph, arrogance!"
Zhou Fujun glared coldly at Xu Fan; he really wanted to see how this guy would last ten moves against him!
"If you're seeking death, lad, then don't blame me for being heartless!"
Seemingly not giving Yan Ruyu and Zhou Keren a chance to stop him, Zhou Fujun roared in anger and went straight for Xu Fan!
