Chapter 60 Heaven Will Never Spare You!

Some people were satisfied, and some were disappointed.

The ordinary silk list roughly divided those students, who originally studied in the same school, into two kinds at the moment it appeared.

As Wu Man was celebrating with his friends that they had been admitted to universities, he accidentally saw Li Sinian, who was full of tears, and Li Muyang, who smiled and soothed her with great patience. He was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what was going on.

Li Muyang was not on the list!

In Wu Man’s eyes, Li Muyang was not qualified to be on the list at all!

Overjoyed, Wu Man pointed to them and said to his friends beside him, “See, see! We kindly reminded him not to push forward and that he’d better hide at home and never come out. Then what? He was so unwise and stupid that he insisted on rushing ahead. It was true that he could see the Hero List more clearly in the front, but he might get hit harder if he wasn’t on the list, right? As the saying goes, don’t bite the hand that feeds you like an ungrateful dog. However, he wronged me, a kind-hearted person, and hit me. Then what? It turns out that we were right! He failed the exam! He deserves it.”

“Brother Wu Man, where are we going to celebrate later? How about Osmanthus Blossoms Workshop? I’ll treat you today…”

“The Osmanthus Blossoms Workshop is not as good as the Number One Scholar Lane. From today, we all will become students from famous universities. If we want to celebrate, we should naturally find a suitable place for the occasion. Tonight, let’s go to the Number One Scholar Lane, and I’ll treat you to wine and dine…”

Li Sinian, who was crying sadly, filled with boiling anger. When she heard their words, she was even more furious. Clenching her fists, she was about to rush over, and she snapped, “Who are you calling a dog? You are a dog! Your whole families are dogs! You damned dogs…”

Li Muyang grabbed Li Sinian and said with a smile, “Go, let’s go back. Our father and mother are still waiting for us at home. If we go back late, they will be worried.”

“Brother, but they cursed you!” Li Sinian was too angry to stop. She still wanted to rush over to fight.

“I know,” Li Muyang nodded and said, “That was why I broke his nose just now.”

“These bastards…” Li Sinian gritted her white teeth and stared at Wu Man and others fiercely, and said, “Don’t let me see you again. I’ll beat you every time I see you.”

“Hahaha, Li Sinian, don’t worry. Except for your useless brother, you cannot see any of us in the future. We will soon leave Jiangnan City and go to study in other provinces. Only your waste of a brother will stay here and never leave Jiangnan City. Frankly, he cannot leave…”

Eyes bloodshot, Li Sinian picked up a stone from the step of the Hero Platform and was about to slam it against Wu Man’s head.

Wu Man hurriedly ran away. After all, Li Sinian had taught him a lesson.

But how could Li Sinian stop? As soon as she saw Wu Man escaping, she held up the stone in her hand and threw it at Wu Man’s head.

Crack!

“Ah…” Wu Man gave out a shrill cry and then fell to the ground, clutching his head.

The stone hit right on his head and left a cut. Soon after, his blood soaked his back hair.

“Help! She is killing me! Help…” Lying on his stomach, Wu Man howled in pain and fear like a pig.

The loud noise he made certainly alarmed the other students and the school principal, Lin Zhengyin, who had not gone far.

“Go to check what has happened,” Lin Zhengyin frowned and shouted to the guards beside him.

It was a sacred and joyous day when the school posted the Hero List every year, and there had never been a fight taking place in front of the Hero Platform on such an important day.

Without any delay, the guards obeyed the principal’s order. They parted the crowd and walked around to Wu Man, who was lying on the ground, crying.

Lin Zhengyin walked over quickly. He kicked Wu Man, who was on the ground and thundered in a dignified manner, “How can you cry before the Hero Platform like this? Get up and tell me what happened.”

The guards lifted Wu Man and said to him in loud voices, “Answer the principal’s question quickly.”

The backside of Wu Man’s head was bleeding. The strips of cloth stuffed in his nostrils had disappeared, so his nose also continued to bleed.

There was blood dripping at the front of and also at the back of his face, which made him look terrible.

“Principal!” Wu Man pointed at Li Muyang and said, “He slammed me on the head with a stone.”

Wu Man was smart. He knew Li Sinian was a girl. Therefore, even if he blamed her, the school would not do anything to punish her. What was more, this girl was good-looking and good at studying. It was said that some teachers of her grade treated her like a treasure. In such a situation, how could the school do something to punish them as he expected?

Hence, he simply put all the blame on Li Muyang.

Wu Man secretly thought, “Li Muyang, you want to study for one more year and take the exam again, don’t you? I’m sorry. Today, I’ll ruin your last option. Just go back to the countryside to sell roasted sweet potatoes! You will have to work in the fields for the rest of your life and will never have the chance to get a bright future. That is the life that you are supposed to have.”

Lin Zhengyin turned to look at Li Muyang in the face and asked in a deep voice, “Did you hit him with a stone?”

“Principal, they wronged my brother.” Li Sinian’s little face turned red. She pointed to Wu Man and said, “I was the one who hit you with a stone. Are you blind?”

“Principal, all of them can testify for me,” Wu Man pointed to his friends around him and said.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Li Muyang was the one who beat Wu Man hard with the stone.”

“He was not on the list, so he was jealous of Wu Man.”

“Principal, can such a loser still be a student of our school? Does our school allow an utterly lawless student like him to do anything he likes?”

Wu Man covered his nose with one hand, and his other hand was on his head.

Later, when he realized that this posture of him looked too silly, he covered his nose with only one hand and just let the wound behind him bleed.

“Principal, please bring justice to me. He broke my nose and my head!” Wu Man cried out.

“How dare you!” Lin Zhengyin exploded with anger. With a pair of cold and sharp eyes, he stared at Li Muyang and said, “Do you think that I can do nothing to deal with you after the Liberal-arts Exam? You failed the test this time, but won’t you take the exam next year? Believe it or not, I will announce to deprive you of your qualification for the Liberal-arts Exam forever!”

“Principal, my brother didn’t do it. I beat him up. It was me…” Once again, Li Sinian was in tears, feeling very upset. “Why do these people always choose my brother to bully? Why do they always make things difficult for him?”

“Why? Is it just because my brother is weak? Or is it because he has not enough strength to fight against them? Is that why they have gone from bad to worse, and dare to behave so viciously?”

“Principal…” Li Muyang looked at Lin Zhengyin calmly and said, “I admit that I injured him.”

“Brother, are you crazy?” Li Sinian took Li Muyang’s arm to stop him. “It was not you. It was obviously me, wasn’t it? I hit him, didn’t I? I broke his nose. I smashed him with a stone. He deserved it because he abused you.”

Li Muyang stepped before Li Sinian to protect her. At this moment, he straightened his back, and his eyes brightened. He appeared calm and collected, like a tall upright pine tree that contained firm and tenacious energy.

“However, there is a reason for what I did. In the past, they often bullied me and called me Swine. Many students in our school knew about these things. You can easily know the truth by asking around. Today, they insulted me again and again. Also, they said that I shouldn’t have appeared on the Hero Platform. They said that I should hide at home and never come out, in case I might not bear the blow of failing the exam.” Li Muyang looked at Wu Man and said, “The most important thing is that he asked me to hit him.”

“How is this possible?” Wu Man shouted. “How can I let him hit me? How can there be such a thing in the world? Do you think I am an idiot?”

“That’s right. How could such a thing happen in the world?” Zhang Chen walked through the crowd and looked at Lin Zhengyin, saying, “Principal, I’ve been standing aside and have witnessed the whole thing. I didn’t hear that Wu Man ever said that. I just saw Li Muyang smash him because of the slightest disagreement. I understood him. After all, he might not be in a good mood right now, for he didn’t see his name on the list. However, it can never be an excuse for beating his schoolmates.”

“Do you dare to swear on your parents’ dignity and reputation?” Li Muyang looked into Zhang Chen’s eyes and said.

“Sure. I dare to swear on my parents’ dignity and reputation. I swear that Wu Man did not ask you to hit him. If he said so, my parents and other families will never acquire a peaceful end.”

“…” Li Muyang watched open-eyed as Zhang Chen was swearing. He didn’t expect that Zhang Chen could casually make such a vicious oath. For him, it seemed that doing such a thing was just a piece of cake.

But he swore on his parents and dearest relatives. How could he curse that all of them would never acquire a peaceful end?

An oath was sometimes too worthless. In some people’s eyes, it meant nothing but just a disguise of crime.

“Also, Li Muyang was criticized by the teacher before because he cheated in the exam,” Zhang Chen added.

“Yes, he is from our class. At that time, the teacher said that he cheated, but he refused to admit his fault.”

“Then he skipped school and hadn’t shown up for a long time. I thought he would never come here.”

“So he’s the one who cheated. You really can’t judge a man by his looks!”

Too many rumors can confuse what is right or wrong. The public opinion now was obviously on Wu Man’s side.

Zhang Chen and Wu Man, the two influential figures of the school, took the lead. Plus, the group of their best friends around echoed their words. A trend that was extremely unfavorable to Li Muyang had since formed.

To affect the judgment of the principal Lin Zhengyin, they intended to make Li Muyang look like a bad student who cheated, hit people, and slept all day long.

They were going to destroy Li Muyang!

“What else do you want to say?” Lin Zhengyin looked at Li Muyang with disappointment and thought that he should have gotten rid of such a student before.

“No. It’s not like that,” Li Sinian cried bitterly. She pointed to the people around her and shouted, “My brother didn’t cheat, and my brother didn’t hit people either. You are not allowed to talk about my brother like that. You mustn’t treat him unjustly!”

Li Sinian cried out in her heart, “These people must be crazy!”

“How could they say those words?”

“Do they have any sense of shame? Is there even a little sense of justice in their hearts?”

She reached out her hand, clenched her fist, and gathered her Qi into her Dantian.

Her Shattering Fist was ready to go!

She was going to rush over and knock down all those who hurt her brother by words. She wanted all of them to die!

She swore that she would never exist together under the same heaven with these people!

“Li Sinian…” Li Muyang instantly grabbed her arm.

Li Sinian struggled desperately but still could not break free from the shackles of Li Muyang iron palms.

At this time, Li Muyang had become extremely powerful in that no human being could be evenly matched with him.

His eyes had become blood-red, enveloped by the red blood fog.

A black scale appeared on the back of his hand again. It looked as dark and deep as black ink, emerging along with the sounds of wind and thunder.

“Don’t act on impulse.” Li Muyang said word by word to Li Sinian. His voice was hoarse and mature, full of majesty,

Li Sinian couldn’t do anything stupid because she still had to study and be a good student in the school. If she hit someone in front of so many students and the principal, then no one could cover up for her. It might ruin her future.

“Brother…” Li Sinian saw her brother’s red eyes and said with tears in her eyes, “Brother, don’t be angry. It’s okay. It’s okay. Let’s go home. Mom and Dad are waiting for us at home. They’ll be worried…”

But Li Muyang stayed on the spot. He glanced around with his blood-red eyes, like a proud king looking down at all living things.

“Bullying others is equal to bullying Heaven. Heaven will never spare you.”
