Chapter 1465: At this moment, Lu Yun also noticed that although he had avoided Iron Bull's punch, a soft, yielding body soon settled itself against him in his arms—without any doubt, the owner of that body was Chun Ni'er. Just as he was engaged in combat with Iron Bull, Lu Yun had seen Chun Ni'er approaching, but due to Iron Bull's sturdy frame, resembling a solid door panel, Chun Ni'er's figure was completely blocked whenever Lu Yun launched his counterattacks and thus remained unseen. As a result, while Lu Yun dodged Iron Bull's punches, Chun Ni'er charged forward and took a direct blow.
Land Yun quickly glanced down at Chun Nier, who was now lying softly in his arms. He knew she must have been knocked out by Iron Niu’s punch. Releasing Iron Niu’s wrist, Land Yun single-handedly held Chun Nier’s body and stepped back several paces at the same time, while with a quick flick of his foot, the staff that Iron Niu had been gripping was instantly caught in Land Yun’s hands.
“Big guy, don’t move! If you cause anyone any harm, I’ll have your head!” Land Yun kept a watchful eye on Iron Niu, gently leaning Chun Nier against the tree trunk, then crouched behind her and firmly pressed on her human midline.
Seeing Chun Nier remain unresponsive and limp, Iron Niu’s fury instantly faded, replaced by deep fear. Though he had momentarily paused, he hadn’t yet lost his composure—truly if Chun Nier were to suffer any serious injury, even as the village’s top bully, he’d surely end up in jail.
Thinking about spending the rest of his life in prison, possibly even being executed, Iron Niu's legs gave way, and he nearly lost face right there, his voice trembling as he asked, "Hey, young man, what's the latest on Chunni'er?" He dared not move forward, afraid of upsetting Lu Yun at this critical moment. Lu Yun pressed on Chunni'er's human midpoint, but saw no improvement, and immediately stood up, saying, "How much weight can you really put behind your own fists? I'll tell you the truth—I've never met Chunni'er before today. I happened to run into her while I was skipping school. You're acting all hasty and out of sorts without even knowing what's going on. If someone actually dies this time, you'll have to pay for it too." Niu was now furious. At this point, whether or not there were any hidden matters between Chunni'er and Lu Yun no longer mattered—he only cared about Chunni'er's safety. He rushed forward to Lu Yun, licked his lips, and said, "Then let's get her to the town's health clinic right away! What are you waiting for?"
Lu Yun was stunned, his voice cold. "Your sister-in-law! She's your wife. If I carry her to the hospital, what will you think of me then?"
The sun was blazing, and with the rising temperature, Lu Yun's mood grew increasingly restive. Today, this unexpected incident had happened—had it not been for the martial arts routine he'd learned from the ancient-dressed young man in his dream, he would have been knocked senseless by that powerful, sturdy man. In fact, if one looked at it that way, today's events were truly a gift from the ancient-dressed young man. Indeed, it was always true that every situation had two sides—advantages and disadvantages.
After sneaking into the school, Lu Yun headed straight to the convenience store. Several attractive girls were already busy, and upon seeing Lu Yun, they naturally gave him a good deal of disdain—especially Shi Yu and Xiao Yu, who were in the same class as him. Fei Yan was relatively indifferent, since their relationship wasn’t yet as close, but after watching Lu Yun endure a particularly harsh treatment from Shi Yu, she offered him a sympathetic smile. "Don’t tell Xiao Ying about my absence from class," Lu Yun whispered to Shi Yu and Xiao Yu. "Hmph, I’ve already told her that," Shi Yu glanced at Lu Yun with irritation, clearly dissatisfied with his tardiness. "What?"
Lu Yun’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat. He had already told Xiao Ying many times how important it was to study diligently, yet he kept on skipping classes again and again. “For heaven’s sake!” he exclaimed. “Shiyu, can’t you just cover for me? I had something come up and had to leave—didn’t get back in time to attend class. Why do you have to report me to Xiao Ying?”
"Heard this, Lu Yun felt a wave of regret: Indeed, at the time, he had been so determined not to let this small shop fall into anyone else's hands that he had simply taken it over without even thinking. But what happened afterward? If it weren't for Xiao Ying Shi Yu and the others helping to manage it, the shop would surely have been ruined by his own efforts. Watching the girls busily going about their tasks, Lu Yun felt deeply ashamed, realizing how careless he had been. Though the shop's business was thriving, it could be quite demanding when things got busy—how could he now expect them to take on so much extra work? Was it only because they liked him that he expected them to shoulder responsibilities that rightfully belonged to him? "From now on, it won't happen again," Lu Yun resolved in his heart. "Whenever I have something to attend to, I'll make sure to let you know in advance—no more disappearing without a word." He then settled in to work diligently. "With such good returns and so many beautiful girls surrounding him, Lu Yun truly had a stroke of luck."
The male students who were taking advantage of the crowd at the convenience store, many of them expressed great admiration upon seeing Xiao Ying and the other girls. "Oh my, you're so rude! Why are you grabbing my chest like that?" Suddenly, a delicate outburst echoed through the store, instantly silencing the bustling group of students, who all turned to gaze at a girl now flushed with embarrassment.
