"Ah—"
With his right hand snapped by Shen Lang's kick, Tang Qubing let out a pig-like scream and writhed on the ground.
The commotion immediately drew the attention of surrounding parents and students, and many came to see.
"It's that brat Tang Qubing. What goes around comes around. I never thought he'd have this day."
Seeing Tang Qubing writhing in agony on the ground, the onlookers, parents and students alike, cheered.
Tang Qubing was the school bully. Throughout Nanling No. 1 High School, both boys and girls had been bullied by him.
However, Tang Qubing came from a powerful background. Despite their anger, these parents could do nothing to him.
Neither the students nor the parents present could have imagined that Tang Qubing would one day be bullied. At this moment, they felt an inexplicable sense of relief, a boundless joy.
They looked at Shen Lang, their faces filled with gratitude.
With one hand broken, Tang Qubing, that brat, would likely be bedridden for a month or two. During this time, parents wouldn't have to worry about their children being bullied, and students could finally focus on their studies with peace of mind.
"Bastard, how dare you step on my right hand?"
While all the parents and students were joyful, Tang Qubing endured the intense pain and spoke to Shen Lang: "I am Tang Qubing. My father is Tang Jiutian, the sect master of the Sichuan Shu Tang Sect. You've caused trouble, immense trouble. Not only will you suffer, but anyone even remotely related to you will also face misfortune."
"What?"
Upon hearing Tang Qubing announce his family, the students reacted little, but the parents turned deathly pale.
They didn't know about the Sichuan Shu Tang Sect, but they certainly knew who Tang Jiutian was.
Tang Jiutian was the richest man in Sichuan Shu, ranking seventeenth on the wealth list. He was immensely powerful, and many influential figures in the capital had been his classmates.
They finally understood why a bully like Tang Qubing could wreak havoc at Nanling No. 1 High School for so many years—he had such an influential father.
If it weren't for Tang Qubing's attempted assault on Yu Xiao in the girls' restroom last time, which led to Yu Xiao calling the police and Tang Qubing's arrest by the Wuwei, and the school's inability to withstand the pressure, Tang Qubing would likely still be preying on other students.
"Tang Jiutian, is he that formidable?"
As all the parents looked on in terror, Shen Lang remained unfazed, smiling.
What?
Seeing Shen Lang's calm demeanor upon hearing Tang Jiutian's name, all the parents were astonished.
They could tell that Shen Lang wasn't faking his composure but genuinely didn't hold Tang Jiutian in high regard.
For a moment, all the parents became curious about Shen Lang's identity.
"How dare you not take my father seriously?"
Tang Qubing was equally bewildered by Shen Lang's reaction. For a moment, he seemed to forget the pain in his body and blurted out angrily.
"Why should I take your father seriously?"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "If he doesn't provoke me, then he can continue to be the sect master of the Tang Sect in Sichuan Shu, and we'll all be at peace."
"But if he provokes me, then I apologize, but in the future, he won't only be unable to be the sect master of the Tang Sect, he might even lose his life."
"However, he is bound to provoke me, because I first sent one of his sons to the Wuwei Department, and now I've broken the hand of another of his sons..."
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Tang Qubing exclaimed in shock, "Bastard, what did you just say? Who did you send to the Wuwei Department? Speak!"
"He said his name was Tang Zixuan. By the way, what's your relationship with him?" Shen Lang asked with a playful smile.
"He's my paternal half-brother..."
Tang Qubing looked at Shen Lang, disbelieving, "Bastard, you're lying, aren't you?"
"Tang Zixuan had four Earth Realm experts protecting him, one of whom is the Northern Spear King Nalan Wushuang, who is known as capable of breaking armies with a single shot, reversing the heavens and earth with a single shot, and being invincible with a spear in hand. How could you possibly have sent him to the Wuwei Department?"
Tang Jiutian had three sons and one daughter. Among them, Tang Qubing and Tang Zixuan were both prodigal sons who only knew how to bully men and oppress women and act atrociously.
After repeated attempts to reform them failed, Tang Jiutian had completely given up on their upbringing and held no hope for them.
However, no matter how useless they were, they were still his biological sons. Tang Jiutian worried that they might encounter ruthless individuals while engaging in their misdeeds one day, so he had provided them with means to protect themselves.
For Tang Qubing, Tang Jiutian gave him the Tang Sect's most fearsome weapon, the "Stormy Pear Blossom Needles," ensuring he wouldn't die, no matter who he encountered.
There were only three sets of the Tang Sect's Stormy Pear Blossom Needles in total. After giving one to Tang Qubing, the remaining two became even more precious and important.
Tang Jiutian didn't give Tang Zixuan the Stormy Pear Blossom Needles but assigned four Earth Realm experts to protect him, one of whom was the Northern Spear King Nalan Wushuang.
Tang Qubing had initially planned to find Tang Zixuan immediately after fooling Shen Lang, asking Tang Zixuan to dispatch his experts to kill Shen Lang for revenge.
To his utter surprise, not only did he fall into Shen Lang's hands, but Tang Zixuan had also fallen.
Tang Qubing stared intently at Shen Lang, trying to discern if he was lying. However, after a long scrutiny, he couldn't find any trace of deception in Shen Lang's expression.
Instantly, Tang Qubing's face turned ashen.
"Crack—"
As Tang Qubing lamented his misfortune, Shen Lang stomped down again.
This kick, savage and brutal, snapped the bones of Tang Qubing's remaining right hand.
"Ah—"
The excruciating pain caused Tang Qubing to let out another pig-like scream before completely passing out.
Tang Qubing was a member of the Tang Sect, and all Tang Sect members were skilled in poisons and hidden weapons. As long as their hands were intact, they could kill.
Shen Lang had crushed the bones of Tang Qubing's hands. Even if Tang Qubing didn't die from the pain, he would need amputation.
And with his hands gone, Tang Qubing would no longer be a threat to Yu Xiao.
Although Shen Lang's methods were a bit ruthless, they were necessary for Yu Xiao's safety.
Of course, Shen Lang's ruthlessness wasn't solely for Yu Xiao's sake; he also had his own personal reasons.
Tang Qubing, a scoundrel who used the name "Qubing" (meaning avoiding illness) yet engaged in bullying and vice, was an insult to his idol.
If one could tolerate this, what couldn't be tolerated?
However, Tang Qubing was merely a minor character, and Shen Lang paid no heed to his life or death.
After dealing with the situation, Shen Lang opened the car door and said to Yu Xiao and Yu Fei, "It's all taken care of. Let's go."
"Okay—"
Despite witnessing Shen Lang's ferocity just now, the two sisters felt no discomfort. On the contrary, they felt increasingly secure.
Soon, Yu Xiao and Yu Fei got into the car. Shen Lang started the engine, and the three of them left Nanling No. 1 High School for home.
On the way, Shen Lang had already informed Yu Xiao and Yu Fei about his fiancée.
Regarding Shen Lang having a fiancée, Yu Xiao and Yu Fei weren't angry. Instead, after understanding the whole story, they became furious that Shen Lang had been deceived for three years.
As for Shi Qingxuan staying overnight in the villa, Yu Xiao and Yu Fei said it was fine; the house was large enough, and adding one more person wouldn't be crowded.
Half an hour later, Shen Lang and the Yu sisters finally returned to Emperor Villa Garden.
However, upon opening the door, Shen Lang found a note on the ground with small writing on it: "If you want to save that girl, come to the White Horse Club."
