14: Chapter 14 Liu Family, Liu Kai

Inside the Henghuo Martial Arts School campus.

Two students were walking and chatting.

One of them was the student who had been called 'Great Master' at the scene in the audience, named Zeng Xiao.

After leaving the arena, he returned to school immediately and drafted an article titled "Traditional Martial Arts Class 2's Chen Moxuan Wins Face for the Henghuo School Team! Is Lin Muhan's True Identity Actually a Blood Clan Member?"

He sent it to the Publicity Department's media channel that same day, and it went viral in an instant.

However, today the comments section was suddenly flooded with abuse, claiming their Publicity Department fabricated false information and spread rumors for traffic, and the published article was reported and deleted.

"How is it spreading rumors? I saw it clearly!" Zeng Xiao said indignantly.

"What puzzles me the most is that when I found others who were also at the scene to confront them, they actually said they might have just seen it wrong..."

"One person might be mistaken, but could hundreds of people be mistaken?!"

The student beside him comforted him:

"There's nothing we can do. The official announcement was released today, saying that the Blood Clan member broke into the arena that day and possessed Lin Muhan's body, and in the end, the Tianyuan Army had no choice but to eliminate both Lin Muhan and the Blood Clan member."

"Besides, what you wrote was indeed a bit exaggerated. How could a Realm 1, Tier 6 defeat a Realm 2, Tier 3? And how could a Blood Clan member live at Tianqing Martial Arts School for three years without being discovered?"

"But I saw it with my own eyes... Forget it. At least I have the ten thousand yuan reward for reporting an alien race to console myself."

Zeng Xiao knew it was useless to continue, so he stopped insisting.

When the official announcement conflicted greatly with his article, the seemingly exaggerated facts in his article would also be questioned.

When the voices of doubt formed an overwhelming tide, not everyone could have the resolve to go against the current.

Even those few who knew the truth might be forced to stand with the masses and become one of the doubters.

The result was that there were many different opinions about the true situation at the competition site that day.

Only the facts of Chen Moxuan's chest-groping incident and the appearance of a Blood Clan member at the arena, as well as the result of Chen Moxuan temporarily filling in and helping the Henghuo school team reach the finals, were affirmed by the public.

Suddenly, three tall figures quickly stepped forward from behind to block the path of Zeng Xiao and his companion.

"Is there something you need?" Zeng Xiao's expression changed slightly, realizing the three before him were up to no good.

The three did not respond; one of them just lifted his chin, signaling Zeng Xiao to look behind him.

Zeng Xiao turned his head and saw a seemingly gentle and refined male student walking over slowly.

"Liu... Brother Liu, is there something you need me for?"

As a member of the Publicity Department, Zeng Xiao naturally recognized at a glance that this person was none other than the vice captain of the Henghuo school team, Liu Kai.

The previous competition was the reason the school had to rush to find Chen Moxuan as a substitute, because Liu Kai had said he had family matters to attend to and needed to take leave.

"Nothing important. The article from a couple of days ago about the situation of the school team exchange competition was written by you, right?" Liu Kai smiled, speaking unhurriedly,

"I'm a bit interested in what happened that day and would like to ask you about it. Do you have some time?"

Zeng Xiao was silent for a moment, then whispered to the student beside him, "You go back first. Go find the Minister."

The student hesitated for a moment, then finally decided to leave under Zeng Xiao's insistent gaze, but as soon as he stepped around them, he was stopped by the curly-haired boy from the previous three.

"Did I not make myself clear? I said, you all."

As the words fell, the three blocking the path swarmed forward, instantly restraining Zeng Xiao and the other student.

Realizing he couldn't break free at all, Zeng Xiao roared, "Liu Kai! Do you dare to lay a hand on a Student Union member inside the school?"

"What 'laying a hand'? I'm just chatting with you. Besides..." Liu Kai's smile didn't change, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, "What do I have to fear from dealing with scum who spread rumors? You're underestimating my Liu Family's influence in Dongchang City."

"Take them away. Let's find a quieter place."

A moment later, Liu Kai walked slowly out of a hidden grove on campus, wiping blood off his knuckles with a tissue.

The curly-haired man followed closely behind Liu Kai: "Brother Kai, isn't it going a bit too far if we cause a death?"

"I know how hard I hit. As long as Li Ping and Ma Yong get them to the hospital in time, they won't die." Liu Kai tossed the tissue aside, "But they'll definitely be bedridden for two or three months."

The curly-haired man grinned upon hearing this: "They deserve it, for writing such nonsensical articles."

"'Winning face for the Henghuo school team'? I think it was just a slap in the face to Brother Kai."

"And that kid named Chen Moxuan is really lucky. He just happened to run into Lin Muhan being attacked by a Blood Clan member, and he was declared the winner of the match. He got 300,000 yuan and even received a reward from the military..."

Noticing the change in Liu Kai's expression, the curly-haired man quickly stopped and changed his tone, "That kid just benefited from Brother Kai's luck. If you hadn't taken leave and skipped the competition, all of this should have been yours."

"Chen Moxuan..." Mentioning this name made Liu Kai grit his teeth.

He knew that these days, many people were talking about Chen Moxuan behind his back, praising him while stepping on Liu Kai, saying that Liu Kai had made excuses to avoid the fight and wasn't even as brave as a student from the Traditional Martial Arts Class at Realm 1, Tier 6.

Having family matters was indeed just a random excuse he used to take leave. After all, even the captain, Zhang Qing, was no match for Lin Muhan, so why should he bother fighting such a guaranteed-to-lose match?

He also knew about the school finding someone to substitute; after all, no matter who they found in the school, they couldn't possibly beat Lin Muhan. He knew the result would be a loss without even looking.

Once the competition results came out and people saw the pathetic state of the substitute losing, not many people would continue to bring up his avoiding the fight; they would only think it was a reasonable choice.

What he never expected was that the person substituting actually won!

Although it was by chance, due to the Blood Clan incident, that he won the match, it caused Liu Kai to lose all face. His reputation plummeted, and it even reached his father's ears, resulting in a scolding.

And the anger he had nowhere to vent naturally fell onto Chen Moxuan's head.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Vice Principal Wang, it's me."

"I heard there is a grade a blood qi essence in the school's medicine storage now? I want to take a look at it."

"So what if it's a reward designated by the military? If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who will know? That poor wretch named Chen Moxuan probably wouldn't even recognize a grade b qi-blood agent in his entire life, let alone a grade a blood qi essence."

"Besides, my Liu Family also has a say in the military."

"Don't forget, my dad has donated a lot of money to the school, and my Liu Family played no small part in you becoming Vice Principal..."

After some coercion and inducement, Liu Kai received a positive response from Vice Principal Wang to retrieve the qi and blood agent for him, and hung up the phone with satisfaction.

The curly-haired man, who had been listening with wide eyes, gave a thumbs up: "Brother Kai is awesome! Even the Vice Principal has to listen to you!"

Liu Kai snorted coldly: "grade a blood qi essence is priceless and rare. I haven't even used one yet. How much medicinal power could a piece of trash who is only at Tier 6 absorb? It would be a waste to use it."

A grade a blood qi essence can fully restore qi and blood within one hour. The effect lasting for thirty days is a reference value, which can change according to individual Physique and Cultivation Realm.

In Liu Kai's opinion, Chen Moxuan's Physique undoubtedly belonged to the lower tier.

"Since he's a new member of the school team, I'll show mercy and have Vice Principal Wang swap it for a grade b qi-blood agent. That trash using a Grade B one is enough."

Having settled these matters, Liu Kai was in a great mood and walked quickly toward his exclusive Cultivation room, waiting for the grade a blood qi essence to be delivered.
