Chapter 180 - 179: Kid, You Really Hide Deep

At Tianyi Academy, it’s difficult to find a genius like Shen Han.

Seeing Shen Han cough up blood again, they quickly took him back to his residence and called for a doctor to treat him.

In the center of the Martial Arts Arena, everyone looked from a distance at the desolate Su Jinyu, but no one approached.

Many people couldn’t stand Su Jinyu, but today, none of them went forward to mock or bully her.

Maybe they thought she was already pathetic enough, and left her a bit of dignity.

The number of people in the Martial Arts Arena was decreasing, and they had all left.

After a while, the maid Qingcao led Su Zhensheng over.

She was a maid who had never practiced the Martial Path and knew very well that she didn’t have the ability to take Su Jinyu back.

Walking to her lady’s side, Qingcao didn’t speak, just silently helped Su Jinyu tidy her clothes and appearance...

She had never thought that her lady would end up in such a miserable state one day...

At such moments, Qingcao knew that saying more would only make Su Jinyu feel worse.

Beside them, Su Zhensheng looked at his daughter with a complicated gaze.

To be honest, Su Zhensheng thought highly of Shen Han, but he didn’t expect his daughter to be defeated by Shen Han.

He hadn’t come to watch the battle today, assuming it was without suspense.

But now the result was right in front of him.

Su Zhensheng was a bit angry.

If Su Jinyu had completely ignored his advice, how could she have ended up in such a state...

"Enough, stop losing face here, let’s go home."

Su Zhensheng’s tone was somewhat harsh, without gentle comfort.

Hearing this, Su Jinyu said nothing, just buried her head deeper.

A decade’s worth of dignity and pride was all lost today...

"Let’s go home, staying here will only make people laugh."

Out of concern for his daughter, seeing Su Jinyu like this, Su Zhensheng also felt a bit pained.

But the words that came to his mouth always ended up sounding harsh.

Su Jinyu said nothing, and her clothes were already soaked.

"If you don’t want to leave, stay here on your own, it’s your own reckless fault."

Su Zhensheng’s words remained unpleasant.

Beside him, even the maid Qingcao felt she could hardly bear to listen.

"Sir, Miss is already very upset, can’t you comfort her a bit..."

Qingcao softly advised, but Su Zhensheng didn’t listen much.

After all, she was just a maid.

"I’ve led troops for decades, and soldiers who lost battles had to obediently accept criticism.

Being scolded is the lightest punishment; if they don’t reflect properly, military law awaits.

What, should I praise her for losing the competition?"

Su Zhensheng’s eyes were stern as he looked at the maid Qingcao disapprovingly.

Under normal circumstances, Qingcao would have been too scared to speak.

But today, she didn’t know where she got the courage.

"Sir, Miss is not your soldier; she is your daughter, a piece of your heart.

Could you at least say something comforting, to help her recover first..."

"Does this general need you to teach me?

Say more, and I’ll break your legs and throw you to feed the dogs back home."

Su Zhensheng was already irritated, and hearing the maid lecturing him made him even angrier.

But today, Qingcao seemed to care nothing about her own safety.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned to Su Zhensheng.

"Sir, beat me if you want, even if you beat Qingcao to death, it doesn’t matter.

Just please stop saying those heart-wrenching words.

You are Miss’s father, her shelter from the storm.

Not the executioner pushing her into an icy lake in the cold winter..."

Su Zhensheng’s eyes widened, he couldn’t stand being lectured by a maid.

"Looks like you’re really asking to lose your life."

The affairs of those in power weren’t for a maid to comment on.

But before he took any action, Su Jinyu, who had her head buried, suddenly stood up and blocked in front of Qingcao.

Her eyes, once sparkling like stars, were now slightly swollen.

The sight of her, with tears like a pear blossom in rain, indeed evoked pity...

The hand Su Zhensheng had raised hung for a long time before he finally put it down.

With heavy steps, he walked away.

Before long, a carriage from the Su Family came to the Martial Arts Arena and waited silently by the side.

Only after Su Jinyu boarded the carriage did it gradually pull away.

Su Zhensheng, as a father, was always conflicted, clearly feeling for his daughter.

He always considered his daughter’s best interests with every move.

But when he spoke, it was always with those piercing words.

This kind of father always had a tough time, having done so much, yet often failing to maintain a good relationship with his children...

At this moment, outside the small courtyard where Shen Han stayed, a large group of people had gathered.

Inside the room, the principal of Tianyi Academy and Mr. Zhong Nan stood around the bed.

Even the vice principal of the academy had been pushed outside.

Shen Han lay on the bed, with the academy’s doctor examining him.

Luo Zuchen’s attacks were obviously intentional.

The power of his techniques, if not for Shen Han knowing the Unceasing Skill, would have left him bedridden for months.

If the injury reached his core, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he could potentially be disabled for life.

Inside the room, the principal of Tianyi Academy paced back and forth, the small room making him even more restless.

"Zhong Nan, quickly find Shen Han a bigger room, this one is too small, I can’t even stretch my arms."

Zhong Nan’s gaze landed on Shen Han, nodded at these words.

It’s hard to find a promising student; if something happened, he would surely clash with Mountain Sea Academy and fight to the death with Luo Zuchen.

Even if he couldn’t win, he would at least bite off a chunk of his flesh.

"Mr. Zhong, Principal, I’m fine... It’s just a surge of blood, a minor injury."

Seeing their worried expressions, Shen Han spoke a few words of comfort.

Yet those words didn’t ease their concerns.

"Don’t talk, focus on recovering, listening to the doctor is what matters most.

Sometimes, when you think you’re not injured, there are underlying issues that can be problematic later."

The principal gave a small reprimand.

Meanwhile, the doctor who was treating Shen Han finished his examination.

"Principal and Mr. Zhong don’t need to worry, Shen Han has suffered an injury, but his self-healing ability is quite good.

Already, he’s recovered quite a bit."

Hearing this, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s good, that’s good..."

The heavy weight on their minds was finally eased a bit.

The doctor stepped out of the room and shared the situation with the others, significantly easing their concerns.

Inside the room, the principal and Mr. Zhong Nan had not yet left.

They looked at Shen Han with expressions of relief, joy, curiosity, and puzzlement...

"You really hid it well, we had no idea.

If it weren’t for Su Jinyu’s challenge, it seems your Sixth Grade Half-Step Realm strength would have remained a secret."

The principal slightly pursed his lips, his words carrying a hint of reproach.

"Principal, I had already informed Mr. Zhong of my Sixth Grade strength long ago.

Plus, I applied for the qualification as a personal tutor, you should have known..."
