This left Guo Xiaoyan confused. If he is so cold-blooded and heartless, why would someone still save you?

However, she didn't continue to ask, because Lin Yifei must have had a conflict with Mu Yu just now, otherwise the kind-hearted Lin Yifei wouldn't use derogatory words to describe someone.

Late at night, when everything was quiet, Lin Yifei lay on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Although she verbally expressed dissatisfaction with Mu Yu's character, her heart harbored a unique feeling towards him.

After a long while, she sighed, "Ah! No need to think about this person with questionable character anymore. Let's sleep well, I have classes tomorrow."

Early in the morning, Lin Yifei got up early as usual, washed her face, brushed her teeth, ate breakfast, and then headed to the classroom for classes.

Only then did Yi Chen, who had been on guard all night, relax his vigilance.

With so many people in the teaching building, no one should attack Lin Yifei anymore.

After resting for a while, he drove off the campus, planning to go out and grab something to eat.

However, when he drove halfway, he encountered the instigator of last night's event where Lin Yifei was drugged—Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong came to the campus with injuries today, followed by several adult men with gloomy faces, indicating that they were up to no good.

But Yi Chen didn't care about that. All he knew was that he was furious, and he had to avenge Lin Yifei; so he immediately stopped the car and got out to find trouble with Zhao Hong.

Feeling someone approaching from behind, the two men following Zhao Hong immediately stopped and became alert.

They then looked back to see who was coming and what their intentions were.

Seeing a bald man approaching with full-blown anger, they realized this was someone extremely unfavorable to their young master, so they immediately adjusted their stance, ready for combat at any moment.

On the other side, Zhao Hong, who was walking in front, also sensed a threat.

When he saw that Yi Chen was the one approaching, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sneer, "Hmph, coming right to me. However, that's good; it's about time I taught you this ignorant fellow a lesson."

Blinded by rage, Zhao Hong had no idea that Yi Chen was looking for trouble with him because of what had happened to Lin Yifei.

Today, he had come with backup to seek revenge for last night's humiliation, so upon encountering an enemy, he would not hold back.

"You two, go beat that bald man to a pulp, until he surrenders!"

"Yes! Young master!"

The two followers, upon receiving the order, took the initiative to cause trouble for Yi Chen.

Soon, they met each other.

The fight was about to break out. Yi Chen swung his fists, throwing a punch at one of the men.

When he thought he could easily knock down the man, he found himself blown back by a single punch.

"Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm Peak!"

Feeling this power, Yi Chen was shocked, never expecting his opponent to be a cultivator at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm. He had miscalculated.

Retreating more than a dozen steps, he finally stabilized himself.

The enemy was too strong, and he didn't know if he could win. Only one follower had revealed his strength so far, and the other's capabilities were still unknown but likely also high.

Nevertheless, he wanted to try challenging a cultivator at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm to see if he could at least draw even; if not, he'd flee.

So he used the Golden Bell Shield and then the Vajra Fist, putting all his strength into a charge.

"Boom!"

After a full-force punch, he finally sent the man who had attacked him stumbling back several steps; however, he also sustained quite a few minor injuries.

Even with the protection of the Golden Bell Shield martial arts, his body still bore a significant amount of the opponent's strength. If the opponent were only at the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, it would be okay, but at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, it was a bit too high.

The attendant was shocked; he hadn't expected his all-out strike to fail to send Yi Chen, at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm, flying. Instead, it was he who suffered a considerable amount of recoil, which was unbelievable.

All signs indicated that Yi Chen was not a weakling and needed to be dealt with seriously.

Zhao Hong was also startled, clearly he hadn't anticipated Yi Chen's strength to be so formidable. Such power was comparable to a cultivator of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm.

"Why is he so strong?"

He was puzzled, as he had never seen such a situation of fighting above one's class; to him, it was unheard-of news.

Although he was surprised, he had two masters at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm on his side; and from the recent exchange, it was clear that Yi Chen had taken the brunt of the impact. Therefore, he didn't believe Yi Chen could turn the tides and reverse the situation.

So, he ordered the two attendants to attack together, giving Yi Chen no chance to catch his breath.

Once again receiving the order, the two attendants did not take the situation lightly and went all out in their attack.

Under the assault of two cultivators at the peak of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, Yi Chen faced immense pressure and was repeatedly forced to retreat.

Luckily, his abundant combat experience allowed him to fend off many attacks, otherwise even if he had walls of steel, he would have been shattered.

The situation was no longer within his control; the only option now was to flee.

He could manage one peak Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm cultivator, but facing two left him overwhelmed, so he had no choice but to run away.

Seeing Yi Chen flee, Zhao Hong ordered the two attendants to catch up and beat him mercilessly; Yi Chen must not be allowed to escape.

Because the fight took place on a campus walkway, many students and teachers rushing to their classes witnessed the scene.

Seeing Lin Yifei's bodyguard being chased and beaten by Zhao Hong's men, onlookers were abuzz with conversation.

"Looks like Young Master Zhao has begun to assert his power, recklessly at that!"

"I'm just very curious, isn't he afraid of retaliation from Lin Yifei's brother?"

"He's known as a mad dog; he fears no one."

"Ah! I wonder where he gets his courage from, but he must have some assurance to act like this."

"The Zhao Family has a larger presence in the Capital City than the Tian Family, so it's normal for them not to be afraid."

"It seems Lin is in for trouble."

...

Yi Chen displayed his qinggong and quickly fled, shaking off the two bodyguards.

Instead of escaping by car, he headed towards the exterior of the campus.

To get into a car was to fall into a trap; a peak Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm cultivator could easily smash a small car with one punch, as well as effortlessly stop it, so he could only keep running.

Since Yi Chen had advanced qinggong to boost his speed, Zhao Hong's two attendants never managed to catch up, much to their frustration.

Seeing that Yi Chen had escaped off-campus, Zhao Hong instructed the two attendants not to pursue any further.

He had come today to avenge the humiliation from the night before; thus, Mu Yu was his true target.

Having Yi Chen beaten to a point of losing face provided Zhao Hong with some relief. The rest could be settled slowly at another time.

The two attendants, upon receiving the order, immediately ceased the pursuit and turned around to rendezvous with Zhao Hong.

Elsewhere, sensing the enemy wasn't following anymore, Yi Chen finally stopped running and gasped for air.

Worried about Lin Yifei's safety, he immediately took out his phone and called Lin Yifan to handle the situation.
