The five of them looked at each other. Wang Mingtao and Xie Minghai ran over at the same time.

Then, the other three quickly followed.

Soon, a wailing that resembled the slaughtering of pigs could be heard from that corner.

Chu Luo stood rooted to the ground and waited for them to finish beating him up before walking over slowly.

When she arrived, she heard Xue Hui crying as he shouted, “Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. You’re killing me!”

“Pfft! Serves you right if I beat you to death!”

Xie Minghai spat and kicked him again.

“Ah~ I will sue you guys and have the police arrest you.”

“Sure. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue.” Yu Lei gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Just now, Qingfeng had recorded the confession of those people. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue us. We want to see who will be the pitiful one when the time comes!”

After saying that, Yu Lei kicked Xue Hui.

“Ouch~~”

Xue Hui finally didn’t dare to say anything else. He hugged his head and wailed.

“F*ck!” Yu Lei couldn’t stand it anymore and took a step back. He threatened him, “Xue Hui, if we find out that you’re playing tricks behind our backs again, I’ll cripple you.”

Seeing that they were almost done, Tang Zhiyun said, “Let’s go. We said we’d have dinner with Junior today. She must be hungry at this hour.”

Only then did they let Xue Hui off and turn around.

Chu Luo was standing not far behind them. She looked at Xue Hui, who was squatting in the corner, hugging his head and crying. She frowned and walked over.

“Junior, what are you going to do?”

Chu Luo stood in front of Xue Hui and pointed at a phone sticking out of his pocket. “You’re recording.”

The five boys abruptly looked into Xue Hui’s pocket.

Xue Hui’s body trembled at the same time. In the next instant, he mustered up the strength from god knows where and tried to escape.

Chu Luo tapped his acupoints at an angle that no one else could see.

When Xue Hui realized that he couldn’t move, his face turned green with fear.

“I… I, I, I… Why can’t I move? Ahhh, there must be a ghost…”

The five boys surrounded him and kicked him, leaving him crying.

Although they’d sensed that Xue Hui was rooted to the spot, they didn’t think too much about it.

“Looks like you won’t give up until the end.”

Tang Zhiyun took out his phone from his pants pocket and tapped on it for a while. Then he picked up Xue Hui’s phone and smashed it against the wall.

While the phone was being smashed into pieces, he walked over to pick up a steel pipe. Under Xue Hui’s frightened gaze, he strode over and raised it to swing it at Xue Hui’s arm.

“Ouch~~”

…

When the six of them walked out of the alley, Wang Mingtao said strangely, “There was such a huge commotion inside, but no one came in or reported to the police.”

“Ha!” Xie Minghai sneered. “Xue Hui is Ouyang Yu’s lackey. Ouyang Yu must be behind this matter. Ouyang Yu does things flawlessly. No one would discover this place.”

At this point, his face revealed an intense fury.

The others didn’t look any better.

Chu Luo was puzzled. “Since you know it’s him, go teach him a lesson.”

“This person has an influential background.”

“How influential?” Chu Luo thought for a moment and asked, “Is it as influential as Li Yan’s background?”

“Li Yan?”

The five guys looked confused.

It wasn’t that they didn’t know Master Li, but they simply didn’t know that the legendary figure was called Li Yan.

Seeing their reaction, Chu Luo thought that they didn’t know about Li Yan and couldn’t help but lament in her heart. Didn’t they say that that person was famous throughout the world? Why haven’t these people heard of him?

At this thought, she immediately dismissed the thought of asking Li Yan for help.

She asked in a different way, “Can Ouyang Yu’s background influence the game’s operators in ‘Battle of Lightyears’?”

“How is that possible!”

This time, the five boys had replied at the same time.

Tang Zhiyun said, “Even the people from the top family of the empire can’t control the operators of ‘Battle of Lightyears.’”

Chu Luo heard what she wanted to hear and nodded in satisfaction. “In that case, let’s torture Ouyang Yu and his gang in the game first.”

As for real life, she had plenty of ways to teach those people a lesson.

As they spoke, they walked towards the nearest restaurant.

After dinner, Chu Luo asked the service staff to bring over a pen and a notebook. She wrote and drew on them for a while before tearing off five pieces of paper and giving one to each person.

The five of them were dumbfounded.

“Junior, what’s this?”

Chu Luo definitely wouldn’t tell them that she had drawn this talisman using a trace of divine power from Phoenix. She said to them seriously, “This is an improvised drawing of mine. You must keep it on you at all times.”

Tang Zhiyun and the others were baffled.

Just now, they had thought that Chu Luo was like a heroine and was especially powerful. How did she become so childish after just one meal?

Wang Mingtao had always admired Chu Luo in-game. The few moves that Chu Luo had just displayed during the fight made him admire her even more. When Chu Luo handed him the piece of paper, he immediately took it and praised it. “Sister Chu’s drawings… are very abstract.”

Chu Luo glanced at Wang Mingtao, who didn’t know what was good for him and who paused mid-sentence.

Wang Mingtao immediately said in a fawning tone, “Sister Chu, I promise to keep this drawing with me at all times and love it like it’s our Wang family’s heirloom.”

When Chu Luo and the other four heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched.

They still had to compete tomorrow, so they prepared to go back early to rest.

Tang Zhiyun asked Chu Luo, “Junior, where is your chauffeur?”

Chu Luo said casually, “On the way here.”

Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, the chauffeur called her.

She reported her location.

Tang Zhiyun said, “Then let’s accompany you until the chauffeur comes.”

The chauffeur who was coming to pick Chu Luo up arrived faster than expected.

When the car stopped beside them, Tang Zhiyun said to Chu Luo, “The competition will be more intense for the next three days. If you can’t take it, you must tell me.”

Xie Minghai chimed in, “Why don’t you go buy a box of vitamin drinks, Little Chuchu? We always do this during competitions.”

Although Chu Luo had never drunk the vitamin drink they mentioned, she knew immediately that it wasn’t anything useful. She said, “No need.”

Then, she said, “Don’t drink that kind of beverage. If you’re too tired, take one of the pills that I got someone to deliver to you.”

The others actually stopped talking at the same time.

Chu Luo looked at them. “Don’t tell me you haven’t taken any of it?”

The guys were silent for a while. It was Tang Zhiyun who spoke first. He lowered his voice a few degrees. “We are worried that someone will report us if they find out. There is a rule in ‘Battle of Lightyears’ that participants are not allowed to take prohibited medicine.”

“…” Chu Luo: “You think I gave you prohibited drugs?”

Chu Luo’s voice wasn’t soft. As soon as she finished speaking, the boys subconsciously looked around.

Seeing their reaction, Chu Luo resisted the urge to hold her forehead. “The pills were purely made from Chinese herbs and are used to relieve fatigue. It’s nothing that stimulates the brain at all. What are you worried about?”

The boys scratched their heads in embarrassment.

Yu Lei said, “Since Little Junior Sister has said so, I’ll go back and try it. Coincidentally, I’ve been a little agitated from playing in the competition for the past two days, and I need to ease myself.”

The other three agreed.

The five of them left.

Chu Luo waited for them to leave before she opened the car door and got in.

When she returned to the old district residence, it was already half-past ten.

Chu Luo walked into the courtyard and subconsciously glanced at the grapevines. Under the street lamp, she could see that the bunches of grapes were growing really well. She looked at them and swallowed her saliva before walking over.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard from the side.

Chu Luo tilted her head to look and asked subconsciously, “Why are you at my house?”

Li Yan glanced at her coldly and reached for a bunch of grapes on the vine.

“Hey, don’t…”

Before Chu Luo could stop him, Li Yan had already plucked the grapes and handed them to her.

Chu Luo looked at the bunch of unripe grapes and her petite face looked conflicted. She was silent for a while before looking at him and saying, “The grapes aren’t ripe yet. Do you want to kill me with the sourness?”

A gust of cold air immediately emanated from opposite her.

Chu Luo didn’t mind at all. After saying this, she lectured him even more self-righteously, “If I eat this bunch of grapes, my teeth will definitely feel sore… You’re not trying to make me unable to eat properly for the next few days, are you?”

Li Yan’s expression turned even colder. “It’s fine if you don’t want to eat them.”

After saying that, he took the bunch of grapes and walked into the courtyard.

Chu Luo hurriedly followed him. Recalling that he hadn’t answered the first question, she asked again, “Why are you here?”

Li Yan tilted his head to look at her and retracted his gaze. “I haven’t learned how to use my inner strength to unblock my acupoints.”

Chu Luo froze for a moment. Li Yan took two steps forward and saw that she didn’t follow him, so he stopped and looked at her coldly.

Chu Luo followed him again and said in a displeased tone, “Didn’t we agree not to conduct lessons for the next few days?”

This time, Li Yan stopped.

Chu Luo didn’t notice and almost bumped into him.

She quickly stopped and looked at him.

Li Yan lowered his gaze to look at her and said, “I told you before, I don’t like to spend too much time on one thing. I have to learn how to use my inner strength to unblock my acupoints in the next few days.”

Seeing that he was so serious, Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. However, she still made herself clear. “I won’t be free these next few days. I can only teach you at night.”

“Okay.”
