The match between Tianxin Lan and Ahui inside the canteen was exceptionally intense, with the tea tables and chairs constantly being knocked over. Outside the canteen, Lu Yun hurried back and forth, frantic and directionless, searching through the local store run by Liu’s widow, the classroom, and several other familiar spots—yet still saw not a trace of Zhou Quan. Where had he gone? Lu Yun grew increasingly worried, and upon turning around, rushed straight toward Lu Xiaoying’s classroom. Arriving there, Lu Yun, mindful of the teacher lecturing, darted into the classroom and approached Lu Xiaoying, urgently asking, “Xiaoying, have you seen Zhou Quan?” “Lu Yun? How—” Lu Xiaoying was fully focused on her lesson and had not noticed Lu Yun’s arrival. She quickly glanced at the teacher and whispered, “I’m currently in class. Let’s discuss this after class.” "No way... this is urgent. We won't make it until class ends. Tell me quickly where Zhou Quan is!" A soft *plink* sounded as a half-fragment of white chalk landed on Lu Yun's head, followed by a raspy male voice: "Classmate, which class are you from? Why have you come into my classroom during class time to disrupt things?" Lu Yun turned around, glanced at the well-dressed male teacher wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, sir. I have something very important to attend to. I'll be leaving right after I finish my question." Then he turned to Lu Xiaoying and said, "Xiaoying, did Zhou Quan actually tell you where he was going?" Seeing Lu Yun growing increasingly anxious, even sweating, Xiaoying realized something was truly wrong. Her face flushed, and she whispered, "When he left, he only said he was going to see his girlfriend. As for where exactly he went, I'm not sure... Oh, Lu Yun." "Lu Yun knew exactly where Zhou Quan had gone just halfway through. With no time to say more, he hurried out of the classroom. "These students these days are simply less polite," the glasses-wearing man shook his head and sighed, "Just keep looking at your books and continue with the lesson." "Hey, check this out—today's my day, and there's even more coming your way!" Wow! As soon as Land Yun heard the voice, he knew his instincts were spot on—Zhou Quan was indeed up to his usual antics with his flamboyant fox girlfriend inside the rubble kiln. Frustrated, he lowered his head and charged straight in. "Oh, you heartless one! Ease off a bit... ah, no, don't press here, not here—I can't take it anymore!" "I'm in a bad mood today, I'm actually hungry—I'm going to eat you, so just hold on." "Eat me? You... just go ahead and eat me, eat me hard!" ... Listening intently to this tantalizing exchange, Land Yun suddenly halted his rushing stride and, after a moment's thought, stepped back outside the kiln. He then called out loudly, "Zhou Quan, come out quickly! Your uncles are fighting Zhang Yi now—Hui and Iron Teacher are locked in combat. If you don't come out soon, someone's going to get seriously hurt!" "Indeed, Lu Yun's words startled Zhou Quan, who was enjoying himself in the collapsed brick kiln. Muttering under his breath, he pushed himself up from the mound of white-soft body, dressing hurriedly as he replied, 'Wait a moment—I'll be right there.' 'What's so urgent? I haven't even finished enjoying myself yet!' the delicate, slightly displeased voice came from the girl lying on the ground. Zhou Quan glared at her, saying, 'You handle it yourself this time. Next time, I'll make sure you suffer a proper death. I'm off now.' Without listening to her complaints, he hurried out of the kiln. Upon seeing Zhou Quan emerge, drenched in sweat, Lu Yun shouted, 'We're about to lose lives, and you're still indulging in your pleasures! For heaven's sake!' 'I apologize—I won't blame you anymore. Just tell me what's going on. When we left, my cousin and Zhang Yi were both fine, weren't they? How could things have gone so wrong in just a blink of an eye?' Besides, what does Iron Teacher have to do with the argument between my cousin and Zhang Yi? How come she's now at odds with Hui again? The situation is urgent, so Lu Yun couldn't take the time to explain everything in detail—she only managed to give a brief summary as they ran. To her surprise, just as she finished speaking, Zhou Quan broke into a chuckle. "What's so funny? Don't just stand there—hurry up and come back with me to mediate!" "What's there to be in a rush about?" Zhou Quan smiled. "You don't know, my cousin may appear cold and distant on the outside, but inside he's actually blazing with passion. And just like me, he has a strong preference for things that are well-prepared—he's definitely taken a shine to Zhang Yi's wife, Liu Yun. Don't worry—once Liu Yun agrees to my cousin, everything will be fine." Lu Yun wiped his brow in disbelief—these two cousins truly were blood relatives, with the same tastes. But the second half of Zhou Quan’s statement left Lu Yun feeling sick to his stomach. For heaven’s sake, what kind of man would willingly hand his wife over to be trampled upon and treated like a mere object? And how many women would easily engage in a romantic or physical relationship with a man other than their own husband? Of course, if a woman were to cheat on her husband secretly, that would be a different matter—then there’d be room for discussion, he’d wager! ***, what a crazy world this is! Hui-gong crawled out of the pile of dead, and he's got such amazing martial skills—how could Iron Teacher even hold his own against him?!" "Why are you asking so many questions? If we don't get back soon, something unexpected might happen!" As they spoke, the two had already reached the wall's base, swiftly climbed over, and charged straight toward the canteen. Thud! A heavy impact, the thick canteen walls were torn open, and Hui's massive iron fist burst through, bloodied and splattered. Whoa! When Zhou Quan and Lu Yun arrived, they just happened to witness this scene. Both were stunned—what a feat! A single punch had shattered a wall over a foot thick. If this had happened to Iron Xinlan, she'd have been crushed into pulp right away! Zhou Quan didn't have time to think—leaping into the canteen, he shouted, "Stop! All of you, stop fighting!"
