Chapter 52: Who Is He? You Are Not Worthy of Knowing!

Lin Chuchu glanced at Lu Yu, then at Xiang Nan, and finally took a step forward.

A triumphant smile appeared on Lu Yu’s proud face.

But in the very next instant, his expression darkened as though covered in soot.

To his disbelief, Lin Chuchu walked straight toward Xiang Nan.

Amid her helplessness, Lin Chuchu caught sight of Xiang Nan and, for reasons unknown even to herself, made this sudden decision.

Perhaps it was because, among all her classmates, only Xiang Nan had the nerve to openly challenge Lu Yu.

Or perhaps, she simply preferred Xiang Nan’s looks.

Whatever the reason, that resolute shout from Xiang Nan just now had been simply too impressive.

Lin Chuchu approached Xiang Nan, summoned her courage, and asked, “Excuse me, may I sit beside you?”

Still groggy from sleep, Xiang Nan replied indifferently, “Do as you wish.”

“Do as you wish”—wasn’t that permission?

He truly wasn’t afraid of Lu Yu; there was something distinctively different about him.

I made the right choice.

Lin Chuchu smiled faintly and took her seat next to Xiang Nan.

This unexpected turn of events left everyone stunned.

The students crowding around Lu Yu grew even more animated—this drama was becoming better by the minute.

Even those in the classroom who hadn’t cared at first now turned their attention to the spectacle.

Gazes full of curiosity, sympathy, and ridicule all focused on Xiang Nan.

“Damn! The first day of school and things are already this exciting. I’m thrilled!”

“Is that guy out of his mind? Does he even know whom he’s offended?”

“If he does and still stands his ground, I’ll give him credit. If he gets beaten, I’ll definitely support him.”

“This is so entertaining. Let’s make a bet—how many punches can he withstand from Young Master Lu?”

“What a shame about that handsome face. It won’t be recognizable after this!”

Almost no one present believed in Xiang Nan.

At this moment, Lin Chuchu herself began to worry. Had she just dragged this new classmate into trouble?

But it was clearly too late for regrets.

Lu Yu’s face was clouded, and he walked toward her with a cold sneer.

“Lin Chuchu, are you sure you want to sit here?”

There was a threatening edge to Lu Yu’s gaze as he looked at her.

From somewhere, Lin Chuchu found the courage to straighten her back, refusing to move.

A boy next to Lu Yu looked at Xiang Nan with a swagger.

“Hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This seat isn’t for you—get up, now.”

With that, he reached out to push Xiang Nan aside.

But before he could even touch Xiang Nan’s sleeve, Xiang Nan caught his arm with a deft move and twisted it, dislocating his shoulder on the spot.

“Oh my god! It hurts! Let go, let go!”

Although everyone in the class had inherited martial prowess, the student stood no chance against Xiang Nan’s skillful maneuver.

The onlookers were momentarily taken aback.

“Well, well, this new guy’s got some skills.”

Xiang Nan gave a light chuckle and flung the boy aside, sending him crashing to the floor with a pained scream.

Clutching his dislocated arm, the boy retreated instinctively, his face full of grievance as he looked at Xiang Nan.

“You really don’t know what’s good for you. I was trying to help you, you know? At Lingwu University, sparring is fair game—unless someone dies, there’s no responsibility.”

“Oh, really?” Xiang Nan replied with a cold smile. “That’s good to know.”

His words drew laughter from the crowd.

Even though his technique was impressive, it didn’t mean he had the strength to go up against Lu Yu.

“This guy must be crazy.”

“If he’s looking for a beating, not even the gods can save him.”

By now, Lu Yu had shifted his attention fully from Lin Chuchu to Xiang Nan.

“Who the hell are you?” he sneered, his tone light but brimming with arrogance.

“You’re not worthy of knowing who he is!” A melodious female voice called out from behind.

Everyone turned.

There, standing at the door, was a girl with short silver hair, a crop top paired with a leather mini skirt, revealing long, snowy-white legs and exuding a wild, captivating charm.

As she stepped in from the backlight, jaws dropped all around.

“Oh my god! Am I dreaming? How can someone this beautiful exist?”

“I thought Lin Chuchu was the ultimate beauty, but this girl’s even more stunning!”

“Not only is she gorgeous, she’s got that mysterious feline allure—I’m done for!”

“Wipe that drool, don’t profane my goddess!”

“Get real! Do you really think you stand a chance with a goddess like her?”

Su Yao was long used to such admiration.

She was a natural beauty, and after the recent transformation pills, her strength had grown, and her beauty had reached new heights.

Even the usually arrogant Lu Yu was momentarily dazed by Su Yao’s beauty.

But as Young Master Lu, he’d never grovel for anyone—especially someone who was clearly hostile.

“Little witch, what’s your problem?”

“If you can’t even understand something so simple, you really are all looks and no brains!”

Lu Yu was so thoroughly put down that his features twisted with anger.

A few nosy students tried to stifle their laughter, eager for the show to continue.

Su Yao sauntered over with a feline grace, shot Lu Yu a glance, and turned her attention to Xiang Nan.

“Nan, didn’t you go to bed early last night? Why are you still so sleepy?”

Her words left everyone in shock and envy.

What? They’ve already…?

Unbearable! Why wasn’t it me who got to sleep with the goddess?

Even Xiang Nan coughed awkwardly. “Why are you here?”

Su Yao replied unconcernedly, “Because I’m also a student at Capital Lingwu University.”

“How come you never mentioned it?”

“I only decided yesterday.”

“Why?”

“Do you have to ask? Obviously, it’s because of you!”

It was true—Su Yao had only made her decision the previous day, at the behest of Su Mingzhe, an executive of the Eagle League, to protect the young master. Of course, did she have personal motives? Don’t ask—of course she did.

Their casual conversation, oblivious to everyone else, sent waves of envy through the room.

All eyes were now on them, and Lu Yu was thoroughly ignored.

He shouted furiously, “Are you two looking to die?!”

But still, no one paid him any mind.

“Nan, why are you bothering with this idiot?” Su Yao asked.

“I didn’t. I was just sleeping, and he started making a scene. How is any of this my fault?”

Watching Xiang Nan and the stunning Su Yao chatting so intimately, Lin Chuchu suddenly felt a pang of sadness, realizing she might have been too impulsive.

“I’m sorry, it’s all because of me. I think I’d better leave.”

She turned to Lu Yu. “Young Master Lu, I won’t sit here. Please don’t make things difficult for them.”

But Lu Yu refused to let it go. “Move aside. This is no longer your concern. That country bumpkin—today, I must teach him a lesson.”

He rose with a menacing air.

The students around him instinctively stepped back.

Now that Lu Yu, a martial champion with ancestral powers, was about to make a move, let’s see how that kid dares to keep boasting.

To everyone’s surprise, Xiang Nan acted as if nothing had happened. He grabbed Lin Chuchu, who was about to leave.

“He said it’s none of your business. Sit wherever you like.”

He then looked playfully at Su Yao. “Yao Yao, he says he’s going to teach me a lesson. What should I do?”

Su Yao shrugged. “There are always fools who overestimate themselves. If they don’t suffer a little, they’ll think the world belongs to them.”

“So you’re saying I should teach him a lesson in humility?”

“If you’re too lazy, I can do it for you. I actually quite enjoy fighting.”

Su Yao flashed her adorable little cat claws and playfully scratched Xiang Nan’s arm.

Xiang Nan chuckled. “You should just sit back and watch—you make a much better cute spectator.”

Su Yao pouted, a little unhappy. “Fine. Whatever you say—after all, you’re the young master.”
