Chapter 471: The Real Deal Arrives

“If I’m not here, then where else would I be? Outside the door eavesdropping?”

Li Lanfeng retorted sarcastically.

“So, you have that kind of weird hobby?”

“You have that kind of weird habit?”

“…..”

“Don’t change the subject. If you’re a real man, then settle this like one, with fencing!”

Li Lanfeng was a bit embarrassed and angry.

When it came to verbal sparring, he probably wasn’t a match for this guy.

But when it came to actual strength, that was a different story. He could knock this pretty boy flat in minutes!

He was still very confident about that!

Faced with the provocation, Mu An gave a contemptuous smile and lightly spat out three words.

“You think you’re worthy?”

“You! You’ve gone too far!!”

Li Lanfeng’s eyes blazed with fury as he raised the wooden sword in his hand.

To show off his strength a bit, he punched angrily, knocking over a flower vase by the door in one blow.

The silver vase shattered suddenly, water splashing everywhere, and the blue-and-white porcelain fragments scattered all over the floor.

Was that a vase that had shattered?

That was clearly a pile of shiny silver!

The price of a single vase was almost worth several decades of her wages!

“This student, if something gets broken, you have to pay full price for it!”

“Get lost! Isn’t it just one lousy vase? Forget one, if I smashed a hundred of them, I could still afford to pay!”

“My father is Li Can. Do you think I can’t afford it?”

Li Lanfeng perfectly demonstrated what it means to ‘rely on your dad.’

It was like saying, even if the sky falls, his dad would hold it up!

“Why don’t I hold him back, and you take the chance to run?”

“He’s an official member of the kendo club. I heard he’s actually somewhat capable…”

Wang Xing’er hesitated but decided to step forward.

What Mu An said earlier was true. All of this had started because of her.

She really should not drag innocent people into this whirlpool.

“Your family doesn’t keep dogs anymore?”

Mu An suddenly asked.

Wang Xing’er was completely thrown off.

Her little head simply could not keep up with the man’s overly jumpy train of thought.

What did having a dog or not have to do with the current situation?

“Huh? We don’t anymore. Why… why do you ask?”

Actually, after the dog she had raised in childhood, Beibei, passed away, she never got another one.

Mainly because she was afraid that seeing such things would stir up old feelings, making grief rise uncontrollably……

“Nothing much, just surprised you still have a conscience.”

He paused, then added sharply, “So you don’t have a dog anymore.”

“…..”

Wang Xing’er’s expression instantly stiffened.

So…

‘Is this guy indirectly saying her conscience was eaten by a dog?’

The girl took a step back, getting angrier the more she thought about it.

In her fury, she bared her cute little tiger teeth, grabbed his hand, and bit down hard.

“Huh? Are you a dog? Why are you suddenly biting my hand?”

“This young lady is angry! I-I’m going to eat your conscience!”

“Six six six. But let me kindly remind you again, you seem to have bitten the wrong place. My conscience isn’t in my hand!”

“…..”

“S-So what if I did! This young lady likes it, okay?”

“It’s not that it’s not okay, it’s just that if I say one more thing, like how I didn’t wash my hands after using the bathroom just now—are you going to explode on the spot?”

“!!!”

At this point…

Wang Xing’er’s emotional outburst exploded again.

[Disgusting emotional fluctuation from the girl +25. Congratulations, you have received a reward [Money +5,000,000]!]

[Emotional fluctuation of disgust and wanting to cry without tears from the girl +31. Congratulations, you have received the rewards [Book · Why Am I So Unlucky? I Finally Tried to Resist the Authority but Got Whipped Hard Again—All Because This Man Didn’t Wash His Hands After Using the Bathroom, Wuwuwu, Mommy, I’m Not Clean Anymore], [Fortune +30]!]

And looking at the girl who was dry heaving while constantly dropping gold coins, Mu An nodded in satisfaction.

‘Trying to fight me? You’re still too green’

Seeing that he had farmed enough, the man even “kindly comforted” her with one sentence.

“Heh, actually… I was lying to you!”

Wang Xing’er: (〃＞目＜) Damn it!

Meanwhile…

“I told you… stop flirting in front of me!!!”

Li Lanfei could no longer hold back.

This couple in front of him didn’t even see him as a person!

Flirting right there on the spot, publicly feeding each other dog food and all that.

This had to be that legendary scenario of luring a (single) dog in just to slaughter it, right?!

“Li Lanfei, if you don’t leave now, when the student council gets here, you’ll be the one who can’t handle the consequences!”

Wang Xing’er tried to borrow the student council’s prestige to scare him off.

And what she said was not false.

At this academy, the student council held real power.

It was like a small social network of favors and connections, and its members were almost all children from prominent families.

No one wanted to provoke them lightly.

But Li Lanfei, still angry, obviously wasn’t buying it.

To him, even if the king himself came today, he would still beat up this pretty boy hard!

“Hmph! So, what if the student council comes?”

“My dad is Li Can! No matter who comes today, it won’t work!”

Li Lanfei snarled fiercely, no longer hesitating, decisively raising the wooden sword in his hand.

At the same time…

A noisy rush of footsteps came from outside the door.

A powerful, resonant voice also rang out immediately—before the man was seen, his voice was heard first.

“I’d like to see who dares cause trouble here today!”

Li Lanfei could not help freezing for a moment.

Why did that voice sound a little familiar?

Like… like his father’s voice?

But how was that possible?

His dad was a super busy man!

He normally wouldn’t personally come down to do these tough and tiring security jobs!

On the other side, a middle-aged balding man had already arrived at the door, and at first glance, he saw Mu An inside.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and a sycophantic smile quickly spread across his chubby face.

He bent over, bowed, extended his hand, a smooth little routine of cozying up, with his posture extremely humble.

“Oh, Young Master Mu, hello!”

“I’m Li Can, responsible for security at this cafeteria. You can just call me Little Li!”

Upon hearing the name ‘Li Can,’ both Mu An and Wang Xing’er instinctively glanced at Li Lanfei, who was already stunned beside them.

The latter could not believe that the humble man in front of him was actually the father he had always been so proud of!

“Dad, what… what are you doing?”

At this moment, Li Can noticed his son standing aside, still holding a… wooden sword?

Seeing that, Li Can’s pupils shrank, and his heart almost skipped a beat.

Not long ago, he had gotten some insider news that the Mu family’s heir had arrived at the academy, and he was thinking if he could take the chance to cozy up.

So So he had deliberately taken part personally in all security duties within his area of responsibility today.

All so he could find an opportunity to perform a little in front of Young Master Mu.

As a result… hopefully it was not the worst possible outcome he was thinking of!

Li Can silently prayed in his heart.

But Mu An had already stood up, his eyes carrying a trace of teasing amusement.

“So, you’re Li Can? I’ll remember you!”

“And there’s one more thing, you gave birth to a ‘great’ son…”

Saying that, he left without looking back, not caring what Li Can and Li Lanfei, father and son, might be thinking inside.

Some words are best left unsaid.

Smart people understand without being told; otherwise, no amount of talking helps.

And seeing Mu An leave, Wang Xing’er hurriedly followed after him too, really looking quite a bit like a little lackey.
