Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Shibari

Linjiang First High School, infirmary.

Hou Fei lay on the hospital bed, his whole body wrapped in bandages, his face full of desolation, as if he had a terminal illness, with no light in his eyes.

At this moment, he looked very much like a dried salted fish.

"Where’s Shanshan? Why hasn’t she come to see me yet?"

In front of the hospital bed, several tall members of the Track and Field Club exchanged glances and then showed expressions of reluctance before persuading, "Brother Fei, don’t ask anymore."

"Yeah, that kind of woman, Brother Fei, you should just forget about her."

"I can’t forget her! I just can’t forget her!"

Hou Fei yelled out, tears streaming down his face: "Initially, I approached her with the mindset of just fooling around. But then I found out, even though she’s not busty, her small size is kinda cute too. By the time I realized something was wrong, I had truly fallen for her. This time, I was serious!"

"Brother Fei, let me tell you, Yun Shanshan is the kind of woman who thinks she has the ability to empathize, inherently gentle, naturally loving, undefinable, can provide emotional value, is independent in thought, dependent economically, traditional about dowries, physically open, and in the end, who knows whose child it is."

"Such a woman, not worth it, Brother Fei."

"She just keeps accepting gifts without giving a clear response, obviously stringing you along, Brother Fei!"

"Shut up, all of you, I won’t allow anyone to slander Shanshan like this!"

Hou Fei was now already delusional, as if he entered the licking dog mode.

Just at this moment, Ye Qingzhou and Yun Shanshan passed by the infirmary, and their conversation drifted into the room through the window.

"Ye Qingzhou, can I sleep at your place tonight?"

"No."

"Why not? I still have many positions I haven’t learned yet, and I want you to teach me properly."

"I also have to practice at night, I can teach you for at most an hour each day."

"Such a killjoy."

Yun Shanshan’s coquettish tone was like a soft and melodious Wu dialect, enchanting and charming.

However, after Hou Fei heard it, he only felt his heart shattering.

"Ah~"

"Damn, Brother Fei’s wound is opening!"

"Brother Fei, don’t do this, Brother Fei!"

"You have to hold on!"

"Teacher Lei, something’s wrong, Brother Fei is going to collapse!"

The infirmary was in chaos, everyone was flustered, and they barely managed to calm Hou Fei down and bandaged his reopened wound again.

......

As the sun set, at the entrance of the First High School.

Ye Qingzhou, carrying a sword bag, took out his phone to check the time: "What is Yun Shanshan up to? Why is it taking her so long to change clothes in the locker room? Women are such a hassle."

Just as he was about to put the phone back in his pocket, a call from an unknown number appeared on the screen.

After answering, a hoarse electronic voice came through: "Is this Ye Qingzhou? The woman you love is in my hands, if you don’t want her to get hurt, come alone to the abandoned dock in the north of the city."

The caller also thoughtfully sent a location, afraid Ye Qingzhou wouldn’t find the place.

"Psycho."

Ye Qingzhou didn’t even think before hanging up; he’s a single dog, since when does he have a "beloved woman"?

He directly blocked the caller, but a few seconds later, the phone rang again.

The person, obviously undeterred, called from another number: "I’m serious, not joking with you!"

Hung up.

Ye Qingzhou continued to block.

The person persisted: "What’s wrong with you?"

Without hesitation, hung up again, block, the moves so smooth.

The fourth time the call came, but this time, it was Yun Shanshan speaking, her tone full of sobs: "Ye Qingzhou, help me! Boo hoo~"

"Now you know the seriousness of the situation? If you want to save her, come alone to the old dock cargo area, otherwise..."

Before the caller could finish their threat, Ye Qingzhou interrupted indifferently: "Planning to kill her? Do it now, I don’t care."

"Huh? Are you trying to trick me?"

"Linjiang First High has over five thousand students; you just grabbed some random person to threaten me. Are you joking? Whether she lives or dies is none of my business. Don’t call again, it’s annoying."

After saying that, Ye Qingzhou hung up the fourth call, then casually dialed Xu Yunxi’s number to report the incident to have the Martial Arts Association dispatched to catch the person.

Risking himself for Yun Shanshan?

Ye Qingzhou’s mind wasn’t out of order, Yun Shanshan’s thirty thousand yuan was just tuition money, to mobilize a genius like him to save her, wouldn’t three million be necessary to even open the negotiation?

And Yun Shanshan’s family didn’t seem like they could come up with three million, so Ye Qingzhou chose to ignore it.

......

North of the city, old dock cargo area.

This place was already sparsely populated, and after Ghost Sword Sorrow’s disturbance last time, no one dared to come.

Inside a collapsed gate of an abandoned warehouse, Yuan Hao crushed the phone in his hand angerly: "Misjudgment, I didn’t expect he really wouldn’t care."

The gothic lolita Li Yanxin glared eerily at the corner of the warehouse, where Yun Shanshan was tied up with tortoise shell bondage, tears flowing down her face.

Unfortunately, with a gag in her mouth, she couldn’t even plead for mercy.

Among the Yingjie Middle School’s Top Six, Li Yanxin was the youngest, yet she was the most murderous of the six. She looked at Yuan Hao: "Should we kill her to silence her?"

"No need, I’ve sealed her five senses with True Qi, she can’t see or hear, probably won’t leak a word, it’s best not to have unnecessary troubles."

Yuan Hao wasn’t exactly tenderhearted but worried that kidnapping and killing would make the Martial Arts Association heavily investigate afterwards.

His target was Ye Qingzhou’s blood, and if the Martial Arts Association strengthened patrols, it would be even harder to make a move.

A half-hour later, Xu Yunxi led people to storm into the warehouse and rescued Yun Shanshan, who had wet her pants.

She took out her phone to call Ye Qingzhou: "Who do you think did this?"

"I don’t know, but I think Yuan Hao has issues."

"Huh? Are you sure? He was a well-known teacher hired from Lu Province at a high salary by Yingjie Middle School, even Chairman Bai had met with him personally."

"I have no evidence, but today, when he led a team to First High for an exchange, he inexplicably showed hostility towards me."

Ye Qingzhou remained calm about it; after all, many people have unfounded hostilities towards him.

If every time someone had ill intentions toward him, Ye Qingzhou killed, probably no one would be left alive at First High.

"Don’t talk about this to anyone; I will have people investigate secretly. Recently, incidents of Martial Dao talents disappearing have been occurring around the counties, even Songg Li and Cen Chunhui from the Sword Fighting Competition are now reportedly missing, you should be extra cautious."

"Okay, I know."

"By the way, take good care of Bingbing."

"Don’t worry, she’s my top gold sponsor daddy."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingzhou squinted his eyes, which became slender and sharp: "Martial Dao talents disappearing? The situation here is a bit complicated... never mind, what business is that of mine? I’m not Detective Conan."

In this world, every day, every hour, every minute, every second, crimes are happening.

As long as it doesn’t directly affect him, Ye Qingzhou couldn’t care less, after all, he has no enforcement power, nor the obligation to save people.

He’d rather spend his time pondering how to improve his Martial Arts.
