Chapter 73.1 : I Want to Enter Modu Martial Academy as a Non-Martial Artist (Part 1)
"I once promised him that I would take revenge on everyone who had bullied him."
"Tang Xuerong is one of them." Tang Qingmo smiled faintly, but there was a dark, shadowed glint in his eyes.
Lu Tianren was a little surprised and almost reflexively asked, "Young Master Tang, is it because of the real and fake young master incident? Because your family treated Tang Hongxi—"
Tang Qingmo chuckled lightly. "That's only part of it."
!?
Only part…?
That answer only made Lu Tianren even more curious.
Who exactly was the "that person" Tang Qingmo was referring to?
What exactly had the Tang family done?
And besides the Tang family, did Tang Qingmo have any other targets for revenge?
All these questions were practically burning out Lu Tianren's CPU!
Tang Qingmo probably hadn't expected Lu Tianren's curiosity to run this deep. He sighed with a faint smile. "You don't need to think about it too much. Over the next year, you'll know the answers."
"..."
The next year…
But this was only his second day on the job, and he had already witnessed so many terrifying and horrifying scenes!
Could it be that even more things like this would happen over the next year!?
Lu Tianren didn't dare to imagine it…
Tang Qingmo glanced once more through the glass wall, shrugged, and said, "Let's go."
"Doctor Chen and the others will probably take a long time to come out. We'll head back first."
"Okay!" Lu Tianren nodded immediately.
He didn't want to stay here any longer either…
The suffocating space, the mixed scent of chemicals and sickly sweetness from the medicine, the nauseating stench that made him want to vomit, and the desperate, agonized screams of human beings…
Lu Tianren felt that if he stayed any longer, he would become dizzy, short of breath, and completely overwhelmed!
As the two headed toward the elevator, Lu Tianren suddenly asked, "By the way, Young Master Tang, that pill you gave Doctor Chen earlier—the one that makes someone lose their voice—was it given to you by a friend?"
"Was that the last one?"
If possible, he wanted to get one for his father to research…
A pill that could make someone lose their voice for three months without harming the body had extremely high research value for the Academy!
But Tang Qingmo stopped walking and turned back in confusion. "I didn't expect you to hear that. I thought you were spacing out at the time."
"...Doctor Chen and the others were still there, so it wasn't appropriate for me to ask," Lu Tianren said awkwardly.
In truth, he had been so shocked by Tang Xuerong's miserable state that he was questioning his entire existence. He had only vaguely caught part of their conversation.
But after Tang Qingmo had Miss Xiao Hong perform a 'demonstration' on the spot, it was impossible to pretend he hadn't noticed!
Tang Qingmo turned back and continued walking. "That voice-sealing pill was indeed given to me by someone I know."
—namely, the system…
"It saw that my life wasn't going well and periodically sent me things. But its personality is pretty random, so every time it sends something, it just stuffs it in. Even I don't know what's inside until I open it."
After all, it's a gacha draw…
System: [Everything depends on the host's luck when drawing!]
Lu Tianren nodded. "I see."
Tang Qingmo reached the elevator and pressed the up button.
"When you report back to President Lu, if he seems interested, I can see if I have a chance to get another one next time and give you one to take back."
"Ah, okay, Young Master Tang, then today I'll report to my father—huh?"
Lu Tianren froze.
Just now… Tang Qingmo said he would report to President Lu…?
"How so?" Tang Qingmo looked at him while waiting for the elevator.
"No, Young Master Tang, you said I'd report to my father…" Lu Tianren was stunned.
He… he knows!?
Tang Qingmo raised an eyebrow, his smile half-amused. "What is it? Does President Lu have something he wants to tell me?"
!!!
"No, no, that's not it… I wasn't planning to report—"
Tang Qingmo cut him off. "You don't need to deny it. When President Lu sent you to be my bodyguard, didn't we already reach a tacit understanding?"
Wasn't Lu Rongsheng's true purpose in sending his precious son—to monitor him… no, to protect him—so he could always know Tang Qingmo's movements?
Seeing Lu Tianren's completely dumbfounded expression now, Tang Qingmo found it rather amusing.
"You and President Lu aren't big talkers. Whatever you see, you can tell him—it's fine. And besides…"
Ding.
The elevator chimed softly as the doors slowly slid open.
