Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 680 - 419: Three Punches and Two Kicks_2

A few people mocked them mercilessly.

Wei Zishan sat down and, hearing such comments, felt flames burning in his eyes and a pain in his chest from anger, almost going up to slap the other party.

Lin Zida looked over at that table for a while, noticed the round-faced young man’s beer bottle, and another gloomy young man, and couldn’t help being a bit more cautious.

Yuan Lin said, "Forget it, even a mighty dragon doesn’t crush a local snake."

But Zhuang Jianhui laughed and teased, "Zishan, you’ve been abroad for so long, and yet you’re still so hot-tempered!"

"And you, Yuan Lin, have become much more restrained than before."

Zhuang Jianhui still joked around with a relaxed demeanor, clearly not bothering to take those people seriously.

Wei Zishan angrily said, "If this were abroad, I’d just have someone take care of them."

Yuan Lin honestly replied, "But we are in Yuzhou now, aren’t we?"

"Jianhui, you too, you’ve been in Yuzhou for a year, don’t you have any connections?" Wei Zishan remembered clearly, back in Shen City, Jianhui always had a bunch of friends around him.

Those few thugs today would have already been taught a lesson.

Zhuang Jianhui: "We are here to keep a low profile, not to mess around."

Then another voice came from the side:

"Look at that little bitch’s outfit, white hair, doesn’t look like anything good, wonder what she tastes like in bed."

Brother Cheng’s mouth twisted, his face contorted as he imagined.

Wei Zishan bristled instantly.

When Yuan Lin heard this, his magnanimity disappeared, his hand on the table clenched into a fist, as the other party’s words were too offensive.

His tone cooled down, expressionless:

"Jianhui, Zida, can we fight?"

Zhuang Jianhui’s expression was also not good, he straightforwardly said, "We can fight, but let me say, their lives are not as precious as ours."

His implication was, those people are just the lowest scum, destined to suffer all their lives.

While they, have a vast future ahead.

Li Shi, seeing Wei Zishan upset, suggested, "If we’re going to fight, maybe we can try calling Jiang Ning."

"His physical fitness is very good, could he help us?"

Lin Zida glanced at Jiang Ning and said, "Forget it."

Jiang Ning’s physical fitness was good, but their relationship wasn’t there yet, he might not want to help.

Besides, fighting would inevitably carry certain risks.

Lin Zida said, "Family power and ability to withstand a beating aren’t directly proportional!"

He lowered his voice, "How about this, we’ll remember this store, and after we finish eating, I’ll find someone to lock them up, and then we can pay them a visit?"

Zhuang Jianhui: "Indeed, no need to fight it out right now."

Li Shi agreed, "That’s a good plan."

She wasn’t afraid of others, just felt it wasn’t worth the risk.

Wei Zishan was furious, "I’ll listen to you guys, Yuan Lin, let’s settle it this way."

The few quickly decided their course of action and continued eating.

Meanwhile, Brother Cheng and Xiao Wang belittled them further, seeing they dared not respond, they grew more arrogant, feeling like they were above everyone, their mindsets completely shifted.

...

"Jiang Ning, have you ever been to an arcade?" Xue Yuantong asked while munching on lamb skewers, her eyes gleaming with curiosity.

In her mind, as conveyed by the adults, arcades were a devastating menace, a place where one touch was all it took to ruin a person!

Of course, Xue Yuantong had never been inside one.

"I have, there was a time I quite enjoyed playing."

Jiang Ning used to be a left-behind child without parents to supervise, so he had a lot of freedom. There was a time when he would go to the arcade after school, buy a one-yuan coin, and head home after his game ended.

He wasn’t addicted to the video games, unlike some classmates who spent all day in the arcade.

For machines like slot machines, he stayed even further away.

"What games are there, are they fun?" Xue Yuantong asked.

Jiang Ning smiled, "I used to find them fun, but now, they’re just okay."

Now that it was 2014, with smartphones, gaming consoles, and online games booming, the old games in the arcades were outdated and unable to bring forth anything new, hence very few people played them anymore.

Even elementary students had moved on to CF, DNF, LoL.

"King of Fighters, Three Kingdoms Battle Chronicles, Journey to the West, and Metal Slug; these games, you can actually play them on a computer with an emulator."

"But if you want to play, once we’re done with the barbecue, I can take you to the arcade for a couple of rounds."

Jiang Ning suggested, though the arcade had a mixed crowd, it wasn’t all hooligans, and the environment had improved a lot.

Put it 10 years back, going to the arcade to play could actually lead to a "big brother" asking to "borrow" your game coins.

If you refused, they might even rob you.

Xue Chuchu: "Maybe not, it’ll be quite late after dinner."

It was now 9:40 PM.

Xue Yuantong: "But we don’t have school tomorrow, do we?"

Jiang Ning: "Shall we go?"

Xue Yuantong was torn.

Not far away, square-faced Brother Cheng heard the blonde young man talking about his girlfriend and felt lust burning inside him.

The more he looked at the girls at Jiang Ning’s table, the prettier he found them, wondering how someone could be so beautiful.

If he could have her as his girlfriend, he would be ecstatic!

The alcohol intensified his inner desires, and seeing that there was only one young man at the table made him lose all inhibitions.

Brother Cheng signaled his brothers and then walked over.

Li Shi noticed the stocky, square-faced man’s actions and immediately signaled to Lin Zida and others, "There’s going to be some drama."

Lin Zida looked at him and sighed, "Here comes trouble."

Wei Zishan asked in confusion, "Who is that, do you guys know him?"

"Jiang Ning, at our school, he’s somewhat of a celebrity, good grades, strong in sports," Li Shi briefly introduced, just not mentioning the suspense between Jiang Ning and Ding Shuyan.

"Got it." Wei Zishan nodded in understanding, so he’s just a high school heartthrob from a small-town school?

Zhuang Jianhui: "Let’s see how he handles this."
