ps: I apologize, in the first few chapters, Huangfu Weixia's name was written as Huangfu Weiya. I must have been too fond of Olivia from "A Soldier's King," and I have already contacted the editor to make corrections.
...
When Xia Dong said Huangfu Weixia would pester Jiang Wuming about the incident of him catching a bear in class, Jiang Wuming didn't believe it, but later he did.
Because, for the next few days, Huangfu Weixia would text Jiang Wuming every day, inquiring about him from all angles.
Teacher Wuming, what's your favorite food?
Teacher Wuming, have you ever been in love?
Teacher Wuming, do you like girls with big butts?
...
Countless questions of this nature.
Whenever Jiang Wuming avoided answering or replying, Huangfu Weixia would immediately shift the topic to martial arts, showing remarkable perseverance.
Xia Dong transformed into a little detective, asking Jiang Wuming about Huangfu Weixia's situation every day. After school, while practicing martial arts in the courtyard, she also remained vigilant, preventing Huangfu Weixia from visiting again.
"Hmph, Da Xiong, although Brother Wuming said you're not bothering him anymore, based on my understanding of you, that's absolutely impossible. However, it's a pity, Brother Wuming isn't interested in girls like you who have big butts and are cunning."
On this day, after school, Xia Dong was practicing horse stance in the courtyard, vigilantly scanning the surroundings of Sword Valley as if guarding against a thief, afraid that Huangfu Weixia would visit again.
"Xiao Dong, why are you so keen on practicing horse stance recently? Why aren't you practicing swordsmanship anymore?"
As Xia Xueqin washed vegetables, she saw Xia Dong in a horse stance and couldn't help but ask.
This was because she noticed Xia Dong had been acting a bit strange lately, practicing horse stance every day.
"Mom, I recently realized my martial arts foundation isn't solid enough, especially my lower body stability, so I want to practice horse stance," Xia Dong replied earnestly.
"With your current strength, practicing horse stance doesn't mean much anymore. Focus on your swordsmanship," Xia Xueqin said.
"Oh... alright."
Xia Dong agreed, then patted her backside, frowning and thinking to herself with frustration: Who was the liar who said practicing horse stance makes your butt perkier?!
For her, the extra practice of horse stance wasn't to strengthen her martial arts foundation but because Huangfu Weixia called her "little stubby butt"—she wanted to make her butt bigger and perkier!
After her thoughts, Xia Dong secretly glanced at Jiang Wuming through the wooden house window and saw him holding his phone. Her face instantly darkened: Da Xiong must be bothering Brother Wuming again, how annoying!
Just as Xia Dong predicted, Jiang Wuming did receive another message from Xia Dong.
"Teacher Wuming, tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday. Can you attend my birthday banquet? If you come to my birthday banquet, I promise I won't send you random messages anymore."
Huangfu Weixia didn't bother Jiang Wuming as she had in the previous days but actively invited him to her birthday banquet.
Jiang Wuming thought about it and agreed to Huangfu Weixia's invitation.
This was because he had been getting a headache from Huangfu Weixia's constant pestering lately.
For example, when Huangfu Weixia was taking a medicinal bath, she would send him a selfie, asking if the medicinal ingredients used were correct.
Who knew what ingredients Huangfu Weixia had used!
Jiang Wuming could only see Huangfu Weixia's faintly discernible delicate body.
Although Huangfu Weixia was entirely in the pool and there was steam, not much could be seen in the photo, it was highly suggestive.
Another example was that Huangfu Weixia would say goodnight to Jiang Wuming every day, accompanied by a selfie – sometimes of her face, sometimes her legs, and sometimes a full-body photo in pajamas.
"Oh yeah!"
At the Donghai Martial Arts Academy parking lot, Huangfu Weixia, upon receiving Jiang Wuming's text, jumped three feet high with excitement.
"Da Xiong, what has you so excited?"
Chu Feng, with his panda eyes, asked curiously.
That day, Chu Feng had teased Huangfu Weixia in Jiang Wuming's class in front of everyone. After class, he was punched twice by Huangfu Weixia, resulting in two black eyes that hadn't subsided yet today.
"Teacher Wuming agreed to attend my birthday banquet!" Huangfu Weixia said cheerfully.
"Whoa, Da Xiong, your progress is impressive!"
Chu Feng was a bit surprised, then reminded her, "However, Da Xiong, don't say I didn't warn you. Teacher Wuming has a fiancée, and his fiancée is Longguo's new generation goddess, Li Lianyi. Are you sure you can snatch Teacher Wuming from Li Lianyi?"
"Hmph, as long as Teacher Wuming and Li Lianyi aren't married, I have a chance."
Huangfu Weixia's fighting spirit was high, and she then said, "Alright, enough nonsense, drive faster. I haven't seen Weiyang in a long time and I miss her."
Chu Feng said no more, opened the car door, and got into a Bugatti Veyron with Huangfu Weixia.
Because she was attending Huangfu Weixia's birthday banquet, his sister Chu Weiyang had specifically returned to Donghai.
Half an hour later, Chu Feng dropped Huangfu Weixia off at a private dining restaurant but did not accompany her inside to have dinner with his sister, Chu Weiyang.
On one hand, Huangfu Weixia disagreed, stating that she and her best friend hadn't seen each other for a long time and had many private matters to discuss, making Chu Feng's presence unsuitable.
On the other hand, Chu Feng had received a call from his father, Chu Wansong, earlier that day. His father had asked him to go home after school as he had something important to discuss with him.
Chu Feng's home was located in Tan Gong.
Tan Gong was one of Donghai's most well-known affluent areas, and also the earliest one.
Even to this day, although Donghai had many famous affluent areas, the Tan Gong affluent area was renowned throughout Donghai and even the entire Dragon Triangle.
All of this was because the owners of Villa No. 9 and Villa No. 8 in Tan Gong stood at the pinnacle of Donghai's elite, and a stomp of their foot could shake the entire city.
The owner of Villa No. 9 was Chu Feng's father, Chu Wansong, and the owner of Villa No. 8 was Huangfu Weixia's father, Huangfu Qing.
Chu Wansong was the godfather of Donghai's underworld and the helmsman of Qing Hong, the largest underground organization in Longguo, specifically the Qing faction!
Chu Wansong not only controlled the discourse in Donghai's nightlife but also controlled half of the discourse in the southern hemisphere's nightlife, far surpassing Jiangnan's underworld godfather, Qiao Tianba.
When Qiao Tianba was alive, he would bow and respectfully call out "Master Chu" every time he met Chu Wansong.
It was rumored in the martial arts world that Chu Wansong had spent a fortune to purchase Villa No. 9 in Tan Gong because the villa had good feng shui, and the number nine represented supremacy, which would help Chu Wansong rise to prominence.
But the actual situation was not like that.
Nine deaths and one life.
This was the experience of Chu Wansong's early life, and it was also the reason for his choice of Villa No. 9 in Tan Gong.
When Chu Feng returned to Villa No. 9 in Tan Gong, Chu Wansong was already waiting in the dining room.
On the dining table, a servant had already served the prepared dishes – four home-style dishes paired with a tomato and egg soup, a very ordinary dinner.
"Dad, why did you specifically call me back today?"
Chu Feng sat opposite Chu Wansong, abandoning his usual casual demeanor, appearing very reserved.
This was all because Chu Wansong had been strict with Chu Feng since childhood but was extremely doting towards Chu Feng's sister, Chu Weiyang, almost cherishing her like a treasure.
"Jiang Wuming is now a teacher at your school. Are you familiar with him? Can you talk to him?" Chu Wansong asked directly.
"Dad, Teacher Wuming just joined Donghai Martial Arts Academy and only taught us one class. I'm not familiar with him, but I should be able to talk to him," Chu Feng replied after some thought, then asked curiously, "Dad, why are you asking this?"
"Find an opportunity to invite Jiang Wuming over. I want to have a meal with him. Can you do that?" Chu Wansong asked.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng felt it was a bit difficult. However, he then remembered Jiang Wuming was attending Huangfu Weixia's event and said, "Oh, right, Dad, Teacher Wuming is attending Huangfu Weixia's eighteenth birthday banquet tomorrow. If you go to Huangfu Manor tomorrow, you can meet him."
"Oh?"
Chu Wansong's eyes lit up, and he pondered, "Then you don't need to invite him. I'll go to Huangfu Manor tomorrow night."
"Dad, why are you looking for Teacher Wuming?" Chu Feng asked with some curiosity.
"Xiao Feng, if one day I am no longer around, Jiang Wuming will have half of the Chu family's empire!"
Chu Wansong answered enigmatically, his words astonishing.
