Physical mage, challenge me to a solo duel!

On the high-speed train, Ji Qiyue, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but tell Wang Yi about the grudges between Xiao Kunze and Tianfu Orphanage.

"So, Xiao Kunze's second sister, because she was dating the eldest brother from your orphanage, eloped with him to join the Chinese army, was assigned to the Two-Border Passage in South Africa for support, and ultimately sacrificed herself three years ago?"

Wang Yi clicked his tongue. No wonder Xiao Kunze clashed with July and August; it turned out there was this reason.

Moreover, their disagreements are probably not a one-off occurrence.

No wonder Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu kept apologizing. Wang Yi thought the siblings felt guilty because Qi Xiaohao had gone back to their hometown with them and ended up getting beaten up, but he didn't expect that Qi Xiaohao and Hu Lili had actually suffered an undeserved disaster.

"What kind of situation is this?" Wang Yi couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose, sighing that dating was indeed a dangerous thing.

What Wang Yi and the others didn't know was that Qi Xiaohao's beating wasn't just because he was implicated by Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu. The real reason was that Qi Xiaohao had been too harsh in his online insults, and Xiao Kunze had run into him offline. Since he couldn't win the online argument, he decided to confront him in person.

Although Xiao Kunze often caused trouble at Tianfu Orphanage when he had nothing better to do, he didn't always resort to violence.

This time, when he ran into Qi Xiaohao, he remembered the humiliation he had suffered online. He made a snap decision: since the Ji siblings were also there, he might as well take them all down.

From this perspective, Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu were actually the ones who were implicated by Qi Xiaohao; otherwise, they would have only been mocked by Xiao Kunze at most, and wouldn't have been beaten up.

Over the years, the siblings and others at Tianfu Orphanage have gotten used to Xiao Kunze's troublemaking. Besides, they feel somewhat guilty and rarely talk back, so the chances of them resorting to violence are not high.

But Qi Xiaohao didn't care about anything else. He kept mocking Qi Xiaohao until July or August. Qi Xiaohao was already angry, and with Xiao Kunze's deliberate provocation, he immediately attacked.

The result was that four people were lying on the ground.

Hu Lili was actually the most wronged one. She had nothing to do with this. If she hadn't helped Qi Xiaohao, she wouldn't have been beaten at all.

Of course, even though Wang Yi understood Xiao Kunze's reasons for targeting Tianfu Orphanage, it didn't mean he would stop.

It's perfectly reasonable for you to seek revenge and beat someone up, so it's also perfectly reasonable for me to help my brother get revenge.

Since we have different perspectives, let's not criticize each other and let's settle things with our actions.

As for the principle, fighting back after being hit is the most important principle, especially since Xiao Kunze is a mid-level mage who is bullying a few low-level mages.

Qi Xiaohao could ask Wang Yi for help, and Xiao Kunze could ask him for help just as easily. Wang Yi had already called ahead to inform them; it wasn't a sneak attack.

Wang Yi accepts any challenge from mid-level mages.

The high-speed train from Lanling City to Shanghai is very fast, taking only three hours.

Around 6 PM, Wang Yi, Qi Xiaohao, Hu Lili, Ji Qiyue, Ji Yuechu, and Xu Jun, a group of six, arrived in Shanghai.

Wang Yi used a trip as an excuse to ask Xu Jun to cover for him, just in case they took advantage of his strength to bully him.

Xu Jun naturally understood without saying a word and had no objections; he simply went along for the trip.

The passage between the two worlds is another matter, but in the present world, let the younger generation resolve their own affairs.

Moreover, Wang Yi has become increasingly composed, and Xu Jun believes that no one will actually die.

After leaving the station, since it was still early, Ji Qiyue suggested that they have dinner at Tianfu Orphanage first.

Wang Yi had no objection. He also wanted to visit the director of Tianfu Orphanage, the veteran who survived the Battle of Liyuan.

So the group hailed two taxis and headed straight for Tianfu Orphanage, arriving in less than an hour.

Although Tianfu Orphanage is in Shanghai, it is definitely not in the city center. Land there is extremely expensive, and it is simply unaffordable to operate there.

Upon arriving at Tianfu Orphanage, Wang Yi looked up and saw a six-story building covered with various ivy-like plants, and through some gaps, he could vaguely see the mottled old walls.

The plaque at the orphanage gate was somewhat damaged. Inside, there was a large green lawn, a running track, a sandpit, and a sports field.

Although it's called an orphanage, it looks more like a much smaller primary school.

Many of the toys and facilities are old and seem to have been untouched for a long time.

This is normal, after all, the Battle of Liyuan happened thirteen years ago, which means that the youngest child in Tianfu Orphanage is fourteen years old.

Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu are actually among the youngest, just sixteen years old, and starting their magic high school.

Walking into the main building of the orphanage, there are rows of desks in several spacious rooms on the first floor, and some childlike but heartwarming graffiti on the walls. These are probably study and activity rooms.

There is also a training room full of equipment, and an empty kitchen and dining room.

Da da da...

Slightly heavy footsteps approached, and an elderly man with a slightly hunched back walked out of the backyard. He carried a bamboo basket woven from rattan, which contained fresh cucumbers, green beans, rapeseed, and other vegetables, which had obviously just been picked.

This person is Zhang Wei, the director who founded Tianfu Orphanage.

Although he looks a bit old, Zhang Wei is actually only in his forties this year. He can be described as being in his prime and in good health. In addition, as a monk, his physical condition is much better than that of ordinary people.

But perhaps it was due to years of hard work, or perhaps it was due to inner desolation, that he looked older than sixty.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, you're here." Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile when he saw Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu. Then his gaze lingered on Wang Yi for a moment before he continued to greet them, "You brought friends? Perfect, try my cooking."

"Uncle Zhang." Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu greeted him, skillfully taking the shopping basket, and then flanking Zhang Wei on either side as they walked towards the restaurant.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Zhang Wei made Xu Jun a cup of tea, gave Wang Yi and the others drinks, and then rolled up his sleeves and went into the open kitchen.

The kitchen was large, but only Zhang Wei was there. Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu were helping out, while Wang Yi was holding a bottle of juice and casually chatting with Zhang Wei.

"Wang Yi, I know you." Zhang Wei's tone contained a strange sense of emotion and pride: "There aren't many mages among the descendants of the Tianfu Army, especially geniuses like you, there are even fewer."

"It's a pity that your parents and I are not in the same division. We've only met a few times and aren't very familiar with each other. From my general impression, your mother is very gentle and your father is very cheerful."

"Don't think about rebuilding the Tianfu Army, Wang Yi. That's all in the past. Just live your own life."

"The meaning of the Heavenly Overturning Army is that when the world was overturned, we fought hard to support it. In the battle of Liyuan, we fulfilled our duties, protected our honor, and brought the Heavenly Overturning Army to a perfect end."

"The echoes of the old era need not hinder the steps of the new."

"Xiaoqi and Xiaoba's ideals are too grand. I've tried to persuade them, but these two kids have their own ideas, and I, an old man who has barely survived, can't control them." Zhang Wei's tone revealed a hint of helplessness as he said this.

"Their insistence on coming to find you has only caused you trouble."

Ji Qiyue and Ji Yuechu quietly picked and washed the vegetables.

Wang Yi took a sip of juice and remained silent.
