The second time Su Haoyang came to, he didn’t look to settle the score with Du Fei. Only dragged his feet away in silence.
When school ended in the afternoon, Du Fei was on his bike crossing the school’s gate when Su Haoyang and two of his cousins blocked his path.
Su Haofeng and Su Haoyue, were Su Haoyang’s younger twin cousins by a year. They were attending the Feng Martial Academy(Feng City’s martial art school) where they learned mixed martial arts and freestyle kickboxing.
In terms of power, Su Haoyang who was still growing was not their match.
“Deal with the fatso first then we’ll settle Li Mo. Every time you see them, beat them up. If you don’t see them, look for them to trash them for at least 20 years!”
Su Haoyang ordered, “Attack!”
The three ganged Du Fei up.
Du Fei’s fighting style was no match for Su Haoyang to begin with. Now that the two brothers joined, he was having the worst time of his life.
With three against one, Du Fei cowardly hugged his head and laid on the ground under the three’s onslaught for ten minutes. Until they were huffing and puffing like burden animals after a toiling day.
Su Haoyang pointed at Du Fei as he spoke through ragged breath, “Get it through your goddamned skull, this is only the begi-…”
Before he could finish, Du Fei was on him.
Du Fei was baffled. He was under constant attack for ten minutes by three men and yet there was not a scratch on him, only feeling a bit warm instead of pain – quite comfy.
“Y-you better remember! Yo-” Su Haoyang’s words trailed off because he saw the chubby was unharmed.
Su Haoyang was pissed, “Didn’t I tell you to give your all? Don’t hold anything back and beat the life out of him. I’ll deal with it later!”
“But we had. Hi lard is too thick and can take hits.” Su Haofeng spoke with a sweaty face.
“Our only choice are knives.” Su Haoyue took out a butterfly knife.
“Just kill him!”
Su Haoyang picked up a large rock and ran panting at Du Fei.
“My clan has power and wealth. I am now a minor and killing you won’t harm me at all. Damn tub of lard, die already!”
“Awo~!”
Du Fei squealed like a stuck pig, flying right for Su Haoyang.
“You want to kill me, then I will kill you. I’m a minor too, bastard!”
Du Fei had Su Haoyang’s neck in his vise like grip when Su Haoyue came stabbing him in the belly.
Blood flowed and Du Fei wailed in pain but he put more strength in his hands.
“S-stab him!”
Su Haofeng took the stone from Su Haoyang’s hand and smashed it on Du Fei’s head.
Su Haoyue kept waving the knife in and out while Su Haofeng brought down the rock on Du Fei’s head again and again. Yet Du Fei’s hands never lost their grip, they tightened instead.
“Let go, damn fatso!”
“Why won’t you just die?”
“Ah~”
Su Haoyue’s eyes rolled back in his skull and his tongue dangled outside his mouth, scarring the life out of the twins.
Du Fei’s face was twisted and vicious, “F*** you! Neither of you are getting away. Now it’s your time to suffer!”
Su Haoyang’s legs were kicking wildly and his tongue was sticking out. The twins were so scared that all the courage left them, running away.
“Don’t you dare run! Stop right there!” Du Fei chased after them with a hand on his stomach.
Su Haoyue and Su Haofeng ran fast and Du Fei couldn’t catch up. They were soon gone from his sight.
Du Fei stopped and was stunned to find that the dozen of holes in his belly along with the head trauma from the rock were gone.
He was back to normal.
How long did it take? Not even a minute!
“I-is this the power of Grand Light Sutra?” Du Fei shivered slightly.
Du Fei returned but found Su Haoyang already gone.
“It’s best you don’t die, amen, amen…”
Du Fei said his prayers and after looking around, left on his bike.
The second day, Du Fei didn’t attend school. Not because of fear, since he no longer had a reason to be scared. He didn’t show because his recovery would be too unreal to even begin conceiving such a notion. If word got out, he would never have another peaceful day in his life.
Du Fei asked his classmates around but found that no one knew what transpired yesterday.
As if yesterday never happened.
Du Fei didn’t tell Li Mo because he didn’t want to be a flower in a greenhouse. He was very cautious and faked being heavily wounded as he went to the doctor.
Du Fei was put in a double room, where another middle-aged man already took one bed. With Du Fei’s cheerful personality, they hit it right off.
The man was named Zheng Lichun, hospitalized with a much more serious problem than Du Fei. He couldn’t feel anything below his knees. His skin was decaying and they had to be amputated.
“Uncle Lichun, what illness is this? Why is it so grave?”
Zheng Lichun smiled dejectedly, “I don’t know. I have looked for answers even outside the country but no one could tell me what ails me. But the muscle tissues below my knees are dying off. If I put off the operation any longer, my life will be in danger. This can only be my fate.”
“I will have the operation this evening.” Zheng Lichun sighed.
“Your family?”
Du Fei was checked in today and for six hours, he had not seen any of Zheng Lichun’s family visiting him.
“I secretly came here from the capital. My family doesn’t know of my operation.”
“It will get out sooner or later. I can only hide it for a few days.”
Zheng Lichun was playing with a red walnut.
Du Fei asked in surprise, “Uncle, what’s that in your hand?”
“It is a walnut, but I call it a wrinkled meatball. This is a genuine bauble that my brother in law bought at a high price. It is from Qing dynasty(T/N: 1644-1911).”
“Can I see it?”
“Of course, ha-ha. Young friend, we are fated to stay in the same room. I will just give this bauble to you.”
Zheng Lichun gave the walnut to Du Fei.
“What is this, why does it have so much dark qi?”
Du Fei watched it with doubt.
“Dark qi? What’s that?”
Duf Fei cried, “Ah!”
He shouted out of the blue. Now that the bauble that released dark qi was in his hand, the dark qi vanished.
As if it dispersed.
“Dark qi? Young friend, what are you talking about?”
Du Fei suddenly said, “Uncle, can you lift your cover?”
Zheng Lichun complied despite being startled.
Just as Du Fei thought, he saw the dark qi gathered below Zheng Lichun’s knees.
“Uncle, I can cure you!” Du Fei jumped from his bed and walked over.
“Young friend, weren’t you heavily wounded?”
“A trifle. I’ve long been healed. Now I’ll treat you.”
Du Fei slowly put his hands on Zheng Lichun’s legs.
The vile dark qi was instantly dispelled.
Sacred Light Physique was the best in repelling negative qi.
“My legs… I can feel them!”
Zheng Lichun cried in glee.
