The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

"Wei Zhongxun, I understand these things better than you do. It’s just that to me, Vice Sect Leader Kong doesn’t count for much."

Su Lingfeng spoke mildly.

"Then what are you doing here?" Wei Zhongxun was depressed. You’re not here to make trouble for Qin Hao, so what did you come for?

And you even made me lose a pile of money!

"Heh, can’t I just be passing by?"

Su Lingfeng sent over a mocking smile.

"You!"

Wei Zhongxun wanted to curse, but thinking about it, it was useless, so he forced down his anger. "We’ll settle this debt later. You lot, let’s go grab that Qin Hao first!"

As his words fell, Su Lingfeng’s leisurely voice drifted over: "Sorry, I can’t allow you to do that."

"Why!"

Wei Zhongxun was furious, utterly furious, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Su Lingfeng.

Su Lingfeng was perfectly calm. "Because this is the Outer Courtyard. I forgot to tell you, that Zhou fellow has stepped down. I’m the new Law Enforcement Team."

The Law Enforcement Team, as the name suggests, is the Outer Courtyard’s Finger Technique department, responsible for maintaining order and ensuring the Outer Courtyard’s stability.

"You?"

Wei Zhongxun hadn’t expected this, and froze.

Su Lingfeng said blandly, "You guys have been making way too much trouble in the Outer Courtyard. The upper echelons are already very displeased. Also, the outcome for that chess piece of yours won’t be too good."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxun’s gaze shifted to Wei Qingtian lying on the ground.

What outsiders didn’t know was that Wei Qingtian had already been acting as Wei Zhongxun’s chess piece for a long time.

Every month, Wei Qingtian would hand over a sum of Task Points to Wei Zhongxun in exchange for Inner Sect Cultivation Techniques and Spiritual Techniques, and Wei Zhongxun would in turn give him some backing when appropriate.

From Su Lingfeng’s words, it seemed that the people above had learned of Wei Qingtian’s cruel deeds and were planning to use him as a warning.

Wei Zhongxun had no intention of going against the will from above. He said coldly, "This kind of trash can’t even deal with Qin Hao. You can have him!"

With that, he shouted at his subordinates darkly, "We’re leaving!"

Watching Wei Zhongxun and the others depart, Su Lingfeng stayed where he was, his expression turning thoughtful.

"Senior Brother Su, why are you protecting that Qin Hao?"

At this moment, a disciple beside Su Lingfeng asked.

"Protecting him?" Su Lingfeng chuckled.

The disciple answered, "It’s true that we’ve become Law Enforcers, but if you wanted to, you could still turn a blind eye. You insisted on blocking Wei Zhongxun, so it can only be for Qin Hao’s sake."

"Isn’t a bigger possibility that I’m doing it specifically to disgust Wei Zhongxun?" Su Lingfeng looked at that disciple with interest.

"No." The disciple’s expression was firm. "The Senior Brother Su in my impression is upright and aboveboard, never one to indulge in such petty nastiness."

Su Lingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile. "Wang Miao, your insight pleases me."

The disciple named Wang Miao laughed happily. "Can you tell me why you’re protecting Qin Hao?"

"Because... Qin Hao is someone my Master’s dad has his eye on."

Su Lingfeng gazed leisurely toward the horizon, which was clearly a stretch of night.

Yet the look in his eyes was as if he were watching a cloud.

...

...

The next day.

Morning.

Normally, mornings in the Outer Courtyard were rather sparse and calm.

But today was different.

Because yesterday, all sorts of events had unfolded, and various pieces of news had fallen into the scene like bombs.

The entire public opinion of the Outer Courtyard had completely exploded.

Early in the morning, the streets were already crowded.

Even more people were gathered outside the Wang Mansion, their eyes full of curiosity as they stared at this mysterious residence.

"Have you heard?"

"Of course I’ve heard!"

"Then tell us about it!"

"What’s there to say? Wei Qingtian was severely injured and taken away by Inner Sect Law Enforcers; Tao Yunqing, He Sichao, Chen Ji and the others also suffered varying degrees of injury. They’re all feeble and languishing at home recovering."

"What’s even more outrageous is that yesterday that Inner Sect Senior Brother Wang came here, and actually got scared off by an Outer Court Disciple!"

"The whole thing is just unbelievable!"

"Even more unbelievable is that all these events are actually connected to a single person!"

When things were said to this point, everyone present fell silent, and a single name surfaced in their minds.

Qin Hao.

In fact, this name had only appeared in the Outer Courtyard for just over a month.

But ever since it emerged, it had never disappeared from public discussion.

You could say Qin Hao was truly the man of the hour in the Outer Courtyard.

"After so much has happened, I already know Qin Hao is a real badass. But how exactly did he scare off that Inner Sect senior brother? The other party was an Innate Realm expert, far beyond Wei Qingtian!"

"That... who knows..."

Everyone was confused, wanting to find the answer but having no way to.

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out: "Qin Hao has come out!"

The crowd was startled and craned their necks to look.

Turned out, the main gate of the Wang Mansion had already opened, and Qin Hao led a group of people out.

"Yo, quite lively out here."

Qin Hao half-squinted his eyes casually. Sunlight fell on his face, as if draping him in a layer of sacred robes.

Jin Kui and Jin Ni’Er and the others were behind him. Jin Kui said very happily, "Boss, did we just clear out the streets?"

"Clear out the streets? Somehow feels like we’re missing cheering voices."

Wang Tu blinked, a smile tugging at his lips. "How about we give them another shock?"

Nearby, Liu Qing, Wang Zimo, He Hong and the others all nodded. "We think that’s doable."

"Then let’s do it."

Qin Hao was straightforward, giving a single order.

Then, the Innate Realm Cultivators behind him—Jin Kui, Jin Ni’Er, Wang Tu and several others—simply released their Spiritual Qi from their bodies.

Originally, they had only just broken through, their Spiritual Qi couldn’t be sustained for long, and even if released, it wouldn’t cause much stir.

But with seven people releasing their Spiritual Qi simultaneously, the feeling was completely different.

Instantly, at their position, a massive Spiritual Energy Ball formed, a full four or five zhang across.

The Spiritual Qi flowed like a gentle spring breeze, surging out from the Spiritual Energy Ball.

Everyone standing around widened their eyes, nearly dropping their jaws in shock.

"Did I see that right? Are they all Innate Realm now?"

"Good lord! Am I dreaming? Is this the Inner Sect or the Outer Courtyard? Why are there so many Cultivators!"

"A grand age! Since the founding of Huashan Sect for hundreds of years, this is the first time we’ve seen such a flourishing sight!"

Amid the murmurs of the crowd, the Spiritual Energy Ball in the air dispersed, and Qin Hao and the others headed toward the end of the street.

Watching their departing backs, everyone was dazzled, their faces full of yearning.

In that moment, they faintly understood that once Qin Hao and the others left this time, it would probably be very hard to see them in the Outer Courtyard again.

After all, their status was extraordinary; they were already Inner Sect Disciples.

"Let’s follow and watch the show!"

No one knew who shouted it.

And so, the crowd clamored and ran after Qin Hao.
