Chapter Seventy-Three: Zhu Rui

  His pale face, handsome appearance, and faint whiskers on his chin added to his masculine charm. He wore a sporty outfit with his hands in his pockets, walking away with an air of nonchalance.

  Few people know him, but it doesn't mean nobody knows him.

  "He is Zhu Rui." someone said in a low voice.

  The name quickly spread throughout the venue, Zhu Rui, probably no one in Linze County didn't know him. The champion of the middle school entrance examination, the terrifying high score of 720 shocked the entire Linze County. However, after entering high school, he seemed to have put away all his sharp edges and became ordinary again. But still, no one dared to underestimate him, no one knew when he would make another big explosion.

  His face wore a faint smile, ignoring the fierce basketball players staring at him, and said proudly: "Meng Yao, he is not worthy of you."

  The whole scene was shocked, and no one had expected that Zhu Rui, who had always been low-key, would make such a high-profile appearance.

  Shui Mengyao was also shocked by the other's overbearing words, her beautiful eyes lightly gazing at the newcomer. In her memory, this man and she had never met before. So what was his reason for showing up today? Could it be that it was really because of her appearance?

  Li Jia was very uncomfortable with the other person's gaze, it was clearly a superior looking at an inferior, he restrained his anger and said: "Zhu Rui, what do you want to do?"

  "No need to want anything? Just telling you, Shui Mengyao is mine, no one can take her away," Zhu Rui said with a light smile.

  As she spoke, she headed towards Shui Mengyao.

  Li Jia Rao, no matter how well-bred she was, couldn't tolerate this insult. She let out a loud roar and threw a punch, immediately causing a wave of gasps to spread through the crowd. It seemed that if things didn't take an unexpected turn, Zhu Rui's slender figure would definitely end up lying on the ground.

  Shui Mengyao didn't move, just when everyone thought Li Jia was about to win, she saw her opponent move, and with her keen eyesight, she only caught a glimpse of a residual shadow. A soft laugh echoed through the scene, "You think brute force can catch up to a girl? Today I'll let you see the essence of Chinese martial arts."

  Next, everyone saw a shocking scene, Li Jia's strong body knelt under Zhu Rui's feet, his other foot wanted to stand up, but seemed to have received a fatal blow, trembling and couldn't get up. Big drops of sweat fell from his face, his face turned pale, his teeth kept chattering, and even his lips were bitten with fresh blood.

  No one knew that just a moment ago, he had suffered an extremely vicious attack. His eyes were filled with fury, but his legs had lost all sensation, and no matter how strong his willpower was, it was useless. Kneeling down was the most humiliating thing for a young person in the 21st century, especially in front of so many people. Li Jia understood that he was finished, and he would never be able to hold his head up again in front of his classmates.

  He didn't understand when he had offended Zhu Rui. Killing someone was just a nod of the head, why did he have to be so humiliated?

  His legs couldn't move and his arms couldn't be used, but that didn't mean he couldn't attack. Suddenly, with great force, he violently crashed into the opponent.

  Zhu Rui let out a cry of surprise and immediately retreated several steps in a flash, dodging the opponent's attack.

  It can be imagined that Li Jia was in a miserable state at this time, with mud and grass stuck to his handsome face, as well as blood. His eyes were filled with tears, and several basketball players quickly pulled up Li Jia, but Li Jia couldn't stand up and let out a few stifled groans.

  Several young men saw their captain being knocked down and immediately went up to fight.

  Zhu Rui's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, dodging one person's punch while kicking another person flying. Feeling the strong wind rushing towards the back of his head, he didn't care and spun his body, doing a big spin like a top, immediately sweeping away four people.

  The battle lasted only a few seconds, and the four young men fell to the ground with a miserable cry. The rest of the young men immediately stopped in their tracks, they didn't expect the opponent to be so fierce? It seems that the opponent didn't even use his full strength, and these people went up in vain.

  Li Jia originally thought he would be crippled, but soon discovered that the pain in his body had disappeared a lot. He didn't know that the other party's blows just now were all acupoints, and when the time came, they naturally relaxed.

  Guo Ming sneered: "I really didn't expect that a small Zhongyuan would actually be hiding dragons and crouching tigers?" After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to head towards the center of the arena.

  Three girls hastily blocked his way, and the chubby girl waved her small fist, saying: "Where are you going?"

  "Aren't you looking for roses? Guo Ming said coldly, I'll go get them for you right now."

  "Heh heh, but now we don't need to, if you dare push Zhu Rui in public, we'll let you off," the beautiful young girl said with a soft laugh.

  "As you wish," Guo Ming nodded and said. There was no resentment as they had imagined, on the contrary, a faint smile appeared on Guo Ming's face, as if he were going to do something extremely ordinary.

  Among the astonished expressions of the people around him, Guo Ming strode towards the center of the arena.

  "Meng Yao, this is something I'm giving you," Zhu Rui said, pulling out a golden orb from his pocket. However, everyone else found it strange, as the object looked like an egg! Who gives someone an egg when meeting their daughter for the first time?

  He didn't wait for Shuimeng Yao's response, he had already placed the thing in front of her, his eyes fixed steadily on hers.

  Shui Mengyao shook her head, feeling quite ridiculous. The other person didn't even know her, yet he was trying to hand her something in front of everyone else. It wasn't just him, even if it were someone she knew well, she still wouldn't accept it so easily.

  "You have no choice," Zhu Rui's smile faded from his face, and he said in a low voice.

  "Who do you think you are?" Shui Mengyao said, her face slightly red with anger. She had never seen anyone so overbearing in her life. The other person seemed to have no sense of decency at all, trampling Li Jia's dignity into dust right in front of her, and now they were even trying to bully her.

  "I hope you accept, otherwise you will regret it," Zhu Rui suddenly smiled.

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo felt a chill run down her spine, and she couldn't help but shiver. From the other person's cold laughter, she heard a hint of cruelty, clearly indicating that they had already issued a warning to her, which was an instinct as a martial artist.

  It's not easy to make her surrender, she knows she's no match for him, but she doesn't believe he'll take action in front of so many people, unless he wants to be spat on by everyone.

  Shui Mengyao's complete stillness caused Zhu Rui's face to gradually turn cold, with a flash of blood red in his eyes. Shui Mengyao only felt her heart skip a beat, as an indescribable oppression heavily pressed upon her spirit. She wanted to open her mouth to question him, but sadly discovered that she was unable to speak, her hands unable to move, her spirit having been seized by the other party - this was Shui Mengyao's first feeling.

  Only then did she smile contentedly and pushed the gift in front of her, chuckling and saying, "I specially chose this for you, I believe you will definitely like it."

  Shuǐ Mèng Yáo's beautiful eyes flashed with a terrified expression, she didn't know what the other person was going to do, but intuitively she felt that as long as she accepted the other person's gift, she would definitely be unlucky. Suddenly, a young man's figure appeared in her pupils.

  Mild and gentle, yet refreshing like a spring breeze.
