The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Qin Hao left the Steward Hall, walking down the chaotic street.

Before leaving, he casually took a "Rules Manual" and read through it, understanding the entry issues new disciples might face.

Though the straw huts on the street appear filthy and disordered, there is actually a considerable difference inside each one.

The closer to the street center, the larger the straw huts are, some having three rooms and a hall, others two rooms and a hall.

At the street center, the houses near the Steward Hall have a lot of internal space, resembling small villas if not viewed from the outside.

Those houses are inhabited by the dominant figures among the Outer Sect disciples.

Qin Hao stopped in front of a large straw hut, wanting to take a look inside, when a familiar figure caught his attention.

The person wore red, tight-fitting clothes, but due to being unwashed for several days, they no longer appeared bright, instead looking somewhat ragged.

However, no matter how shabby the clothes were, the person’s beauty was undeniable.

"Jin Ni’Er!"

Qin Hao felt a surge of joy in his heart and hurried over, ready to greet her.

Last time, when Jin Ni’Er got lost inside the Immortal Mansion, Qin Hao had been worried for quite some time.

He didn’t expect to meet Jin Ni’Er at the Outer Sect, but wasn’t this also a stroke of luck?

...

"Jin Ni’Er, even at this point, are you still unwilling to submit to Young Master Xu of the Outer Sect?"

Jin Ni’Er stood helplessly at the straw hut’s doorway.

Around her, the surrounding Outer Sect disciples watched with malicious smiles. The one speaking had a face full of pockmarks and fierce, triangular eyes.

"Tian Wu, my brother has already been injured by you guys, and I’ve apologized to you. Why won’t you let me go!"

Jin Ni’Er’s face was full of helplessness, her voice deeply sorrowful.

A while ago, she and Jin Kui had been brought into the sect by a passing Elder of the Huashan Sect.

Due to their inadequate talent, the Elder had left them to their own devices in the Outer Courtyard.

The Outer Courtyard was overcrowded, a small society where survival of the fittest was key.

In the Jin Family, Jin Ni’Er and Jin Kui were treasured, but here, they were just two newcomers.

Jin Ni’Er’s beauty and Jin Kui’s impulsive temperament led them to trouble from their very first day.

Previously, a bully from the Outer Courtyard, coveting Jin Ni’Er’s beauty, provoked Jin Kui into a fight.

The two fought, and Jin Kui was severely beaten and still rests bedridden.

Jin Ni’Er had just fetched medicine for him from the Medicine Hall, only to run into the bully’s lackeys on the way.

"Jin Ni’Er, you think you can talk about letting go?"

The pockmarked man named Tian Wu looked brutal: "Our Young Master Xu only said two words, yet your dog-like brother almost bit him. This trouble was started by you entirely!"

Jin Ni’Er bit her lip and said nothing.

She knew they were determined to cause trouble, and nothing she said could change that.

Her silence gave Tian Wu an opening.

He grinned lewdly: "Jin Ni’Er, you must have witnessed how chaotic the Outer Courtyard is. If you want to oppose us, hey, it won’t be long before your brother won’t even know how he died!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Ni’Er’s body trembled, face turning pale.

Tian Wu licked his lips and continued: "But you have a bit of luck. If it were someone else, neither you nor your brother would have a way out. But our Young Master Xu is kindhearted; if you’re willing to stay at his residence for a few nights, hey, your brother’s medicine will be solved, and Young Master Xu will even vow brotherhood with him!"

Jin Ni’Er’s face was filled with resistance. The lustfulness of Young Master Xu was all too obvious; surrendering herself to that scoundrel would surely mean losing her virtue.

But if she refused, and the repeated harassment continued, she wouldn’t even be able to get medicine for her brother.

In the end, not only would her brother suffer, she herself would also face humiliation.

Could she only agree to these ruffians?

Thinking of this, Jin Ni’Er’s body started to shake, tears welling up in her eyes.

Uncontrollably, she thought of Qin Hao.

If Brother Qin were here, surely I wouldn’t be subjected to all this humiliation?

As she pondered, a familiar voice reached her ears: "Ni’Er."

At the sound, Jin Ni’Er’s body shook again with excitement, and she turned her head to see Qin Hao standing composedly before her.

"Brother Qin!"

Overcome with excitement, Jin Ni’Er opened her arms and flung herself entirely into Qin Hao’s embrace.

In that moment, all the grievances and hardships of the past few days flooded her heart, and Jin Ni’Er couldn’t hold back her tears.

The tears quickly soaked Qin Hao’s shoulder.

"Boohoo, Brother Qin, I’ve missed you so much..."

Qin Hao held the trembling figure in his arms, but there was not a trace of desire on his face.

He patted Jin Ni’Er’s back tenderly, softly comforting her: "Ni’Er, don’t cry anymore. With me here, neither you nor Jin Kui will be wronged from now on."

Elsewhere.

Tian Wu frowned deeply.

Moreover, the corners of his mouth twitched occasionally.

Those who knew him understood that Tian Wu was truly angry, genuinely furious!

"Jin Ni’Er... aren’t you going to introduce me?"

Soon, Tian Wu flashed an exceptionally cold smile.

Before Jin Ni’Er could speak, Qin Hao said flatly: "Who do you think you are? Shut your mouth for me!"

"What?"

Everyone, including Tian Wu, as well as passersby, went silent, looking at Qin Hao with expressions like they had seen an idiot.

"Who is this guy? How dare he be so arrogant?"

"Indeed, challenging Xu Dilei’s men like this, does he have a death wish?"

"Never mind Xu Dilei’s brutality, even Tian Wu is a treacherous person. This stranger acting so cocky is in for it!"

All the originally passing by people stopped, preparing to enjoy the spectacle.

The Outer Courtyard wasn’t like the Inner Sect with its rigid rules.

Here, the so-called enforcers were Inner Sect disciples. With no hope for advancement, they indulged in pleasure.

Therefore, so-called rules in the Outer Courtyard were nonexistent, and enforcers turned a blind eye during every fight or disturbance.

"You brat! Dare to insult me? Great! How great!"

With so many people watching, Tian Wu felt utterly humiliated.

Since hanging onto Xu Dilei’s coattails, he had run rampant in the Outer Courtyard for years without suffering such affronts.

Fuming, he was about to make his move.

"Hold on!"

A voice rang out, and the crowd parted as several figures strode over.

"Li Changqing, what are you doing here?"

Tian Wu recognized the newcomer and stopped, wariness etched across his face.

Li Changqing was a faction leader in the Outer Courtyard, though not as high ranking as Xu Dilei, his strength was formidable. Moreover, he’d recently allied with Steward Zhou.

Hence, Tian Wu didn’t dare to be reckless.

"What am I doing?"

Li Changqing shot a sideways glance at Tian Wu and spared him no further attention, instead fixing his gaze on Qin Hao and arrogantly declaring, "This guy offended our Young Master Zhou, now, he’s my prey. Tian Wu, do you understand?"
