City: My Disciples Have Shocked The World - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Wounded All Over, By Who?!

Quanhe Hotel was the only five-star hotel in Quanhe Province.

The tall ridge of the roof stood in the middle of the city like a sturdy crane among chickens. Looking up over the low houses, one could see a row of flags and five stars fluttering on the roof.

Those who could eat here were all rich people from Quanhe Province. Ordinary people would find it frighteningly expensive just by looking at it from the door.

Shen Feishang led the two of them in. The receptionist recognized him at a glance. “Mr. Shen, welcome! Are these two your friends?”

“Three of you, find us a private room.”

“There’s a small private room. This way please!”

Kong Xiuyao saw that Shen Feishang looked familiar with the place and guessed that he often treated people to a meal here. It seemed that his breeding business should be doing very well.

The waiter led the way and the three of them followed behind. Kong Xiuyao had not been to such a popular place for ten years and could not help but look around.

The hotel used a warm color scheme as a whole, as well as the currently popular tea-colored glass that divided the hall into multiple spaces, creating a visual novelty. Every table was covered with a lacy white tablecloth, and there was a basket of fresh flowers. The natural fragrance filled the entire hall, as if they were in a sea of flowers.

Qiu Lingruo had been in and out of all kinds of high-end hotels both domestically and abroad. The only five-star hotel in Quanhe Province was still passable in her eyes. The decorations and taste were slightly behind, but she liked the flowers on the table very much.

“Master, the food here shouldn’t taste good. Eldest Senior Brother said last time…” Qiu Lingruo leaned against Kong Xiuyao’s arm and lowered her voice to tell him about the birthday banquet.

“You can’t be picky when someone treats you to a meal. It’s rude.” Kong Xiuyao gagged her.

“Oh… Oh, I know.” Qiu Lingruo lowered her head and blinked. Facing the teacher, she habitually began to reflect on her own morals.

The three of them entered the private room and sat down. Shen Feishang generously pushed the menu in front of Kong Xiuyao. “Xiuyao, order whatever you want. It’s my treat today!”

Kong Xiuyao did not stand on ceremony. He sat down and opened the menu. There were 388 steaks, 666 Buddha Jumps over the Wall, and 888 lobsters. The photos looked quite fancy, but Kong Xiuyao could tell with a glance that what was eaten here was face, not taste.

In terms of taste, it might not be comparable to Mrs. Kong’s stir-fried ear leaves.

He had no appetite and pushed the menu to Qiu Lingruo. “Order what you like.”

Shen Feishang slapped his head and said with a smile, “Look at my brain. Sister-in-law, you should choose. Waiter, give me two beers first, and then give my sister-in-law a drink. We brothers will drink until we’re drunk today!”

The two of them hadn’t seen each other for more than ten years. Even though their looks and height had changed, there was no ambiguity in their relationship.

Without waiting for the dishes to be served, Shen Feishang eagerly poured a cup for the two of them. He first raised his head and poured a cup into his mouth. His originally tense expression gradually relaxed.

Kong Xiuyao was very touched and immediately drank a cup.

Even though there were only three people eating, the atmosphere at the table gradually became lively. Shen Feishang still had a basket full of words to say to Kong Xiuyao. After two glasses of alcohol, he started talking.

Kong Xiuyao followed him and drank cup after cup.

After all, Shen Feishang should be his first friend since he transmigrated. The 100 disciples he had brought out, regardless of their age, status, all respected him as an elder.

It was a virtue to respect one’s teacher, but it always made Kong Xiuyao feel lonely. This alcohol directly pulled him back to the ground, and Kong Xiuyao drank until he wanted more.

“Old Shen, let me give you a toast. Thank you for taking care of my parents!”

Kong Xiuyao held the alcohol glass with both hands. Qiu Lingruo also picked up the drink in front of her and stood up seriously.

“Sit down, sit down!” Shen Feishang waved his hand and stood up to press the two of them down. “We’re all brothers. It’s not polite to say this! Uh…”

He subconsciously tilted his body, as if he had hit the corner of a table. His body instinctively avoided the pain. Shen Feishang stood for a while before he straightened his back and slowly sat down. His tense movements were very unnatural, and sweat slid down the side of his face.

Kong Xiuyao noticed his abnormality. From the moment he got out of the car, he silently observed Shen Feishang.

Most of the time, Shen Feishang’s muscles would twitch involuntarily. When his muscles were stimulated, they would instinctively pull back. It was not just his arms, but also his movements when he turned around. After sitting down, his back straightened and he did not dare to bend.

With Kong Xiuyao’s medical skills, he could determine that Shen Feishang had external injuries, and not just in one area!

He put down his alcohol glass and said with a serious expression, “Old Shen, are you injured? Take off your clothes and let me take a look.”

“Ah?” Shen Feishang’s eyes were blurry from drinking, and he did not react for a moment. “Why are you taking off your clothes?”

“My eyes can’t be wrong. You have external injuries, and they’re not light.”

“Xiuyao, you…” Shen Feishang let go of the corner of his shirt and looked at the two of them hesitantly.

Qiu Lingruo smiled and said, “Brother Shen, don’t worry. My master… Xiuyao’s medical skills are outstanding. It’s difficult for others to get a consultation from him. Let him take a look at you.”

This girl was also proactive. Before she could finish speaking, she went forward and removed Shen Feishang’s short-sleeved shirt, as if she was peeling off the skin of a ham.

Shen Feishang felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously covered his arms. He instantly sobered up. “What are you two doing!”

Kong Xiuyao did not answer him. His tightly furrowed brows furrowed into a knot as he stared fixedly at Shen Feishang’s injuries. Qiu Lingruo covered her mouth in surprise and stood behind Kong Xiuyao.

Half of Shen Feishang’s body was like a palette. He was covered in bruises. Half of his shoulder was black, and there was a circle of red blood on the side. There was also a scab on his waist. The thick blood scab thought of an ugly centipede and gripped the surrounding flesh.

His left arm was swollen like a radish and was well hidden by his sleeve. Qiu Lingruo couldn’t imagine how he could be so calm and even squeeze into the bus!

These wounds were obviously caused by someone! Thinking of the fight for territory in the village, Kong Xiuyao immediately said angrily, “Who beat you up like this? Do you still have any humanity!”

Shen Feishang moved uncomfortably. He first grimaced in pain, then forced a smile. “Forget it, Xiuyao. My injuries look serious, but they’re actually just superficial wounds. It’s not a big deal.”

Then, he picked up the alcohol on the table and drank it in one gulp. He was not embarrassed that his wounds had been exposed. Instead, he was very honest.

Qiu Lingruo thought that he was a calm person and carefully folded the clothes and placed them on the stool. However, Kong Xiuyao could tell that it was not honesty, but the numbness of helplessness!

The person who hit him should be very powerful. He was someone who could not be provoked. Shen Feishang did not want to get into trouble, so he kept quiet.

“Old Shen.” Kong Xiuyao held his hand that was holding the alcohol. “Are you still a brother? You were beaten up like this. How can I sit by and do nothing!”

“Stop asking. It’s better to avoid trouble…”

“No, you have to say it. Otherwise, we won’t be brothers anymore!” Kong Xiuyao said solemnly, his voice filled with unquestionable determination!
