The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

When he was slapped to the ground, Wei Zhongxun was completely stunned.

But when he heard that sentence from Elder Zhuge, he snapped awake, blood at the corner of his mouth, shaking his head in terror and saying, "I didn’t... Elder... I really didn’t..."

"Cut the crap! Come over and apologize!"

Elder Zhuge’s voice was extremely cold.

"I’ll go! I’ll go!"

Wei Zhongxun was scared—truly scared.

He crawled over like a lowly dog and kowtowed to Elder Zhuge in apology.

Even though he didn’t know why he had to apologize, even though he didn’t know why Elder Zhuge would help Qin Hao like this...

Wei Zhongxun could only do as told.

Because he felt the killing intent in Elder Zhuge’s eyes.

He understood perfectly—Elder Zhuge really did have the intention to kill him!

"Why?!" At that moment, Wei Zhongxun was practically scared out of his mind.

"You’re not kneeling to me." With Wei Zhongxun kneeling in front of him like an old dog, Elder Zhuge showed not a trace of pity. He said coldly, "Go kneel to Qin Hao."

"Qin Hao!"

Wei Zhongxun’s body felt like it was struck by lightning; he couldn’t move.

Elder Zhuge is actually telling me to kneel to that piece of trash?

How is that acceptable!

Thinking of how he’d just been humiliating Qin Hao in every way, and now had to kneel to him...

The humiliation flooded his chest, and Wei Zhongxun felt like he was about to explode.

"What, you’re unwilling?"

Elder Zhuge’s light, drifting voice washed over him, and Wei Zhongxun’s whole body trembled. His courage shattered, and he yelled, "I’ll kneel! I’ll kneel, all right?!"

With a wretched expression, he lowered his head, crawled over to Qin Hao, knelt, kowtowed—utterly servile!

Because of his suppressed rage and fear, he didn’t dare raise his head, too afraid that if he saw Qin Hao’s expression, he wouldn’t be able to hold back and would die from sheer fury.

"Weren’t you pretty arrogant before?" Qin Hao’s calm words floated over, and Wei Zhongxun almost passed out from humiliation.

He shook his head over and over. "Before, I was blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai! I was wrong! I beg you, be magnanimous and forgive me!"

At this moment, Wei Zhongxun utterly loathed his own cowardly, groveling self.

But in order not to offend Elder Zhuge, he had no choice!

"So if I’m trash, then what are you?" Qin Hao spoke again.

"You’re not trash! I am! I’m the trash! Precisely because I’m trash, I was blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai!"

Wei Zhongxun kept kowtowing, shouting, terrified out of his mind.

This scene left everyone around them speechless.

This Wei Zhongxun is too miserable, isn’t he?

So this is the consequence of offending Qin Hao?

A fate worse than death!

"Mm, as long as you know you’re trash. Trash, listen carefully—from now on, whenever you see me, you keep your head down. Understand?" Qin Hao spoke lazily again, and hearing this, Wei Zhongxun nearly rolled his eyes back and blacked out.

"From now on... I definitely will..." Wei Zhongxun said, trembling, while inside he was roaring, "From now on I’ll be dodging you for dear life! See you? Like hell I will!"

"Good."

Qin Hao nodded, then turned to Su Lingfeng and said, "Shall we go?"

"Let’s go." Su Lingfeng walked over immediately, a bitter smile on his face.

And so, the two of them simply walked off side by side, not even bothering to acknowledge Elder Zhuge.

Once they left, Wei Zhongxun collapsed onto the ground with a thud, looking as if life had lost all meaning.

Hu Boyong couldn’t help asking, "Master, why did you help..."

"You mean, why I helped Qin Hao." Elder Zhuge said, folding his arms.

Lei Xiuzhu chimed in, "Yeah, this Qin Hao treats you with that half-hearted attitude, and you still help him like this? Why bother?"

Elder Zhuge said lightly, "From today on, every Elder will help Qin Hao."

"Every one of them?" Lei Xiuzhu and Hu Boyong were stunned. "Why?"

"On that, I have no comment." Elder Zhuge refused to answer. The Elder Council had already met and unanimously decided to conceal the matter of Qin Hao drawing out the Martial Ancestor Map.

Then he turned his head to look at Wei Zhongxun and said, "You might resent me in your heart. But all I can tell you is—I was saving you."

"Saving me? Ha! Elder Zhuge, you give orders, and as a junior, of course I don’t dare disobey! But then you dress it up with such high-sounding words—what a joke!"

At this point, Wei Zhongxun’s emotions had collapsed. Remembering Qin Hao’s tone of contempt toward him earlier, he couldn’t calm down at all, looking somewhat hysterical.

"You don’t believe me?" Elder Zhuge shook his head. "Suit yourself."

"Beep, beep." Just then, Hu Boyong took out a Spirit Talisman from his Void Storage Ring. After reading it, his face changed drastically. "Qin Hao actually killed Shan Mubing? And right in front of the Punishment Hall Elder?"

At these words, everyone around was utterly shocked.

"How is that possible? Wasn’t Qin Hao just here a moment ago?"

"No, it was before he came here that he killed him!" Hu Boyong said, his face extremely grim.

"This guy killed someone right in front of the Punishment Hall Elder and still survived?"

Lei Xiuzhu was stunned as well. She raised her head to look at Elder Zhuge and asked, "Uncle Zhuge, is this true?"

"Mm." Elder Zhuge nodded. "I just came back from the scene. Shan Mubing isn’t the only one who offended Qin Hao—Wu Zilan did as well. Now, the two of them are both dead."

Both dead?

Well, everyone completely lost their composure, all sucking in a sharp breath.

Meanwhile, Wei Zhongxun on the ground jerked his head up, his heart feeling as if it had frozen solid.

Qin Hao really killed people and still lived?

Does that mean he dares to slaughter his fellow disciples inside the sect?

With that thought, Wei Zhongxun remembered Qin Hao’s calm words that hid killing intent, and a chill ran down his spine!

He really does dare!

...

Walking along the mountain path back to the peak, Su Lingfeng couldn’t help giving a bitter smile. "Junior Brother Qin, I’ve noticed you have a particular knack for causing trouble."

Qin Hao plucked a stalk of foxtail grass from the roadside and held it in his mouth. "That’s a flawed statement. I clearly didn’t do anything. It’s that Wei Zhongxun who insisted on courting death, all right?"

Su Lingfeng’s smile only grew more bitter.

Things did seem that way... but why is it that the ones who end up miserable are always Qin Hao’s opponents?

It was really hard to stay calm.

"By the way, Junior Brother Qin, when are you going to do your mission?" Su Lingfeng asked.

The Inner Sect rules differed from the Outer Courtyard. To demonstrate the value of Inner Sect Disciples, the sect required everyone to complete at least one mission every month.

The type of mission wasn’t restricted—it could be big or small, but it had to be done. If you failed, you’d be written up.

Three write-ups, and you’d be expelled from the sect.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Probably within the next few days."

"I picked up a border demon-slaying mission. Junior Brother Qin, interested in coming along?" Su Lingfeng extended an invitation.

"You’re not afraid I’ll cause trouble for you?" Qin Hao said half-jokingly.

"I am afraid." Su Lingfeng’s smile turned even more wry. "But I feel that with Junior Brother Qin’s help, the mission will be a bit easier to complete."
