Monday is always the most painful.
Whether it's school or work.
It means you still have five days until the weekend.
But for some people.
Monday is a day of revenge.
Take Li Xingquan, for example.
He was out of sorts all day, always feeling like people were pointing fingers at him.
As if the fact that he got beaten up had spread throughout the entire school.
However, the thought that he could get his revenge this afternoon cheered him up immensely.
That arrogant kid, he'd better be ready to beg for mercy!
Li Xingquan specifically took time off that afternoon.
He went home to pick up Yue Xiaopeng.
To show off today, his cousin had to be present, otherwise, he might end up losing face again.
When Li Xingquan found Yue Xiaopeng, the latter was still sound asleep.
Yue Xiaopeng had stayed up too late watching shows last night, leaving him feeling weak and sluggish.
"Cousin, I'm here!"
Li Xingquan stood by the bed and shouted.
Yue Xiaopeng impatiently threw a pillow at him, "What are you yelling about! Let me sleep a bit longer!"
Li Xingquan didn't dare to disturb Yue Xiaopeng's rest and went to the living room to watch TV.
After watching four or five episodes of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf," Yue Xiaopeng finally came to the living room, his eyes still heavy with sleep.
"Aren't you in school today?"
Yue Xiaopeng asked with a yawn.
"Cousin, we have the afternoon off today."
Li Xingquan lied.
If he had said he took leave, this preachy cousin would probably start lecturing him again.
"Oh."
Yue Xiaopeng nodded, then went to wash up.
Ten minutes later, Yue Xiaopeng was dressed and ready. He glanced at the time; it was already 4 PM.
In another hour, school would be over.
"How do you plan to teach that kid a lesson?"
Yue Xiaopeng asked.
"Cousin, I want him to kneel and apologize to me!"
Li Xingquan thought for a moment and said, "And I want to record a video so everyone knows I'm not to be trifled with!"
"Are you sick!"
Yue Xiaopeng hit Li Xingquan on the head, "Kneeling and begging for mercy is one thing, but you want to record a video? Don't you know this will be evidence of you bullying a classmate?"
Li Xingquan rubbed his head and said, "But then, others will know how powerful I am."
"Is that you being powerful? It's all thanks to me."
Yue Xiaopeng said irritably.
"Hehe, that's because you're my cousin. If you're powerful, then I'm powerful too."
Li Xingquan chuckled.
"You said this kid is really good at fighting?"
Yue Xiaopeng asked again.
"Super good at fighting!"
Li Xingquan shivered involuntarily at the memory of that day.
It was so humiliating.
But that guy was indeed terrifying; with a casual punch or kick, he could make me lose my bearings completely.
"Alright, I'll call a friend."
Yue Xiaopeng thought for a moment. If this kid was as skilled as Li Xingquan said, he couldn't afford to lose face.
Ever since he had a setback at Phoenix Mountain with Yang Wei last time, Yue Xiaopeng had resolved never to underestimate anyone again.
Fortunately, he had recently met another skilled friend, someone who came from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
He had trained diligently and possessed remarkable abilities.
With that in mind, Yue Xiaopeng picked up his phone and dialed.
"Hello, who is this?"
A steady male voice came from the other end.
"Yuan Wei, it's me, Xiaopeng."
Yue Xiaopeng said with a smile.
"Oh, Xiaopeng, what's up? I'm playing a game."
The sound of frantic keyboard and mouse clicks could be heard from the phone.
"It's like this, I need you to back me up, to avoid any unexpected setbacks."
Yue Xiaopeng said with a smile.
"I'm afraid I'm not free today, I still have to do a dungeon run."
"Yuan Wei, this guy is a real expert, aren't you always looking for someone to spar with?"
Yue Xiaopeng said quickly.
"An expert? How good is he?"
The man on the other end seemed intrigued.
"As tall as three or four floors."
Yue Xiaopeng exaggerated.
"Alright, what time? Where?"
Yuan Wei readily agreed.
Yue Xiaopeng quickly told him the location and time. The other party replied with a "Got it" and hung up.
"Cousin, who is this Yuan Wei? You sound very polite."
Li Xingquan asked curiously.
"What am I compared to him?"
Yue Xiaopeng glanced at Li Xingquan and said, "This Yuan Wei is a truly extraordinary person. Have you ever heard of someone impervious to blades and spears? He can do it. His body conditioning is at the peak of perfection!"
"You're lying, right? Is there anyone in this world who is impervious to blades and spears?"
Li Xingquan didn't believe it.
"Heh, your understanding is still too limited. When you gain more experience, you'll know that this world is far more complex than it appears on the surface. Maybe even the Ultraman you watch is real."
Yue Xiaopeng said casually.
"Isn't Ultraman real to begin with?"
Li Xingquan asked.
"If you believe in the light, he exists."
Half an hour later.
Li Xingquan and Yue Xiaopeng appeared at the entrance of the Second Middle School.
Li Xingquan had specifically called a few of his underlings.
He wanted them to witness how he would get his revenge.
Upon arriving at the scene.
Yue Xiaopeng looked around, seemingly searching for someone.
"Cousin, are you looking for Yuan Wei?"
Li Xingquan asked.
"Obviously."
Yue Xiaopeng rolled his eyes. "Help me look around, see if there's anyone who looks like a young man in his thirties?"
"Someone in his thirties is still considered young?"
Li Xingquan asked again.
"Why are you so chatty?"
Yue Xiaopeng was annoyed. "Didn't you hear me say 'looks like he's in his thirties'? He's actually only in his twenties. You need to be observant later, don't call anyone 'uncle' or anything, or I'll make you regret it when we get back."
Li Xingquan shrunk his neck and said, "Oh, okay."
At the same time, he began to look around.
He wanted to see what this extraordinary person his cousin was talking about looked like.
Li Xingquan spotted an old man with white hair, exuding an air of a reclusive immortal.
He quickly nudged Yue Xiaopeng and said, "Cousin, is that him? He looks like a master from seclusion."
"Are you crazy!"
Yue Xiaopeng hit Li Xingquan on the head. "I said 'looks like he's in his thirties,' and that old man looks eighty!"
Li Xingquan gave a sheepish smile, not daring to speak.
"Yuan Wei!"
Just then, Yue Xiaopeng finally spotted his target.
He walked over with a smile.
Li Xingquan also looked over.
He saw a man dressed in a martial arts uniform, wearing cloth shoes, sauntering towards them.
Judging solely by his face, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was in his early thirties.
"Xiaopeng."
Yuan Wei said with a smile, "Where is the expert you mentioned?"
"Class hasn't ended yet."
Yue Xiaopeng replied.
"Still a student?"
Yuan Wei asked doubtfully. "Xiaopeng, you're not trying to trick me, are you? How good can a student possibly be?"
"Yuan Wei, would I trick you? He's truly an expert."
Yue Xiaopeng said playfully.
Does it matter if he's an expert?
What matters is that with Yuan Wei here, I absolutely cannot fail!
