After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan shook his head.

"What's so interesting about that bunch of bastards' chat?"

The school group chat was full of either pretentious girls or guys who were always out eating, drinking, and having fun. Plus, Zhou Yan didn't have many friends at the school, so he never chatted in the group.

Lin'an is like a bitter road.

"Then I have bad news for you."

Zhou Yan nodded.

"You said."

Lin Anru took a breath and slowed down her tone.

"The upperclassmen are coming back."

In the Forbidden Zone of Humanity, the power of Awakened Ones can increase faster, and they can also obtain many magical artifacts and spells. For this reason, the top students of Suzaku Academy who can participate in the Four Schools Competition spend half a year training in the Forbidden Zone of Humanity, and return to school for the other half of the year to prepare for the competition.

When Zhou Yan arrived, none of these top students were there. Only Lin Anru, who was still young and not yet ready to go to the human forbidden zone, was hastily sent by Bai Rusu to deal with Zhou Yan.

But now, these top students, all over 20 years old, have returned.

Lin An stared intently at Zhou Yan.

"A senior student specifically named Zhou Yan as someone who wants to deal with you!"

Zhou Yan nodded knowingly. The young man suddenly understood why he had suddenly felt a deep but not fatal crisis on the plane. Now he realized that it must have been some senior student coming to teach him a lesson.

Lin'an sighed.

“Zhou Yan, to be honest, you’re a genius. You and I could have spent a few years in school, trained in the human restricted area, and maybe even become regulars in the four-school competition. But you…”

Lin Anru still doesn't understand why Zhou Yan is so stubborn. He could be chatting and laughing with the upper class of awakened people, but he insists on standing with those at the bottom.

Zhou Yan patted Lin Anru on the shoulder and said disdainfully.

"So, in your eyes, I'm the kind of man who backs down at the slightest danger or trivial matter, and whose words are utter nonsense?"

Lin Anru suddenly remembered Zhou Yan's earlier words about dealing with danger and then facing Chi You alone.

"I know you're not that kind of person."

Lin'an was getting a little anxious.

"But why insist on sticking your tongue and refusing to back down even half a step when the danger could have been avoided simply by bowing your head?"

Lin Anru took out her phone, opened a picture, and pointed to it.

"Xiao Yan, do you know who this guy is?"

Zhou Yan looked at his phone. On the screen was a young man with an arrogant face and blood on his hands.

Zhou Yan shook his head.

Lin'an said in a deep voice.

"He is Lin Lei, a descendant of the Ya Zi bloodline of the Dragon's Ninth Son. He has the most explosive temper in the school and is known as the monster with the strongest attack power. I have seen this senior compete before. When he fights, it is more like torture than competition. I have even seen this senior start cutting from the back of others and peel off the skin of his opponents while they are still alive."

Lin'an's eyes widened.

"He's the one who said he was going to deal with you, Xiao Yan!"

Zhou Yan: "..."

Lin Anru grabbed Zhou Yan's arm.

“I know Senior Sister Leng Qing. She can outmaneuver Ya Zi. Zhou Yan, when these senior sisters and brothers come back, I will take you to pay your respects at the mountain. You can bow to Senior Sister Leng Qing and become her subordinate. Even if Lin Lei had the guts of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he wouldn’t dare to mess with you.”

Zhou Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Am I supposed to wag my tail like a lapdog in front of those upperclassmen and beg them to spare my life?"

Lin'an was so angry she laughed.

"Zhou Yan!"

"Can't you use your brain? Is this the time for you to be willful?"

Chapter Four Relatives

"All right."

Zhou Yan interrupted Lin Anru.

"Senior, let me ask you something. When you went to bow down to that Senior Leng, did you ever think that one day you would crush all these seniors under your feet and make them bow down to you?"

Lin'an remained silent.

Zhou Yan pointed to himself.

"Then I'll do for you what you couldn't do."

Before Lin An could say anything more, Zhou Yan had already closed the dormitory door and gone inside.

Lin Anru hesitated for a few seconds outside the door, then spat and left angrily.

Lin Anru had just arrived at Zhou Yan's dormitory when her phone suddenly rang, and a message popped up on her social media platform.

Leng Qing: We'll be at the airport in ten minutes. Xiao An, come pick me up.

Lin'an replied with a message.

"understood."

……

Inside an airplane over Xinxiang Airport.

All the top senior students from Suzaku Academy were sitting in first class. There were seven people in the cabin, four men and three women. At this moment, apart from Leng Qing, the others were chatting with each other. Some wanted to have a good meal after getting off the plane, some wanted to go home to see their parents, and some were going shopping to buy some new clothes.

Leng Qing remained silent, listening to the incessant noise of her classmates around her, until the announcement for disembarking the plane was made, and everyone disembarked one by one and arrived at the airport gate.

Lin'an, who had been waiting, immediately came up and called out to the team of top students who were getting off the plane.

"Senior, I'm here!"

All the top students looked at Lin Anru, who chuckled awkwardly and stepped forward to stand in front of her senior classmates.

Leng Qing took out her phone and showed the screen to Lin Anru.

There was a sentence written on it.

"Xiao An, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Lin Anru chuckled.

"This is what a junior should do."

Lin Lei, his face contorted with rage, stepped out from behind Leng Qing.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao An, who's going to take over our class in the future?"

Lin'an bowed deeply.

"Hello, Senior Lin!"

Lin Lei clapped his hands.

"Very good, very good, full of energy. Young people are so energetic. Oh, by the way, I heard that you lost to a new transfer student a while ago?"

Lin'an's eyes lit up, and he stood up and said.

"Yes, that kid is very good. I admit defeat wholeheartedly."

Lin Lei crossed his arms.

"But I heard that child doesn't allow us to go out and have fun?"

Lin'an was at a loss for words.

Lin Lei couldn't see through Lin Anru's thoughts. This arrogant young man thought that Lin Anru was ashamed because he had touched a raw nerve, so he softened his tone.

"It's ok."

Lin Lei clenched his fist in front of Lin Anru.

"I'll avenge you right now."

Lin Anru's expression immediately turned sour, but Lin Lei's awakening level was extremely high. Lin Anru estimated that this person was more than ten times stronger than her. In front of such a monster, Lin Anru didn't know how to explain Zhou Yan's matter to him.

Leng Qing, the top student leader in front of Lin Anru, suddenly spoke up.

"There's no need for things to get so tense between classmates."

Lin Lei's smugness vanished instantly.

Like Zhou Yan and Lin Anru, the team leader positions were all earned by these students through their fists. Lin Lei had lost to Leng Qing, so he was relatively obedient.

"Alright alright."

Lin Lei raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Since Miss Leng has spoken, then I won't go directly to cause trouble for that junior."

Lin Lei winked at Lin Anru.

"Junior, do you know that junior?"

Lin'an nodded in agreement.

Lin Lei took out a business card and handed it to Lin Anru.

"At six o'clock tonight, at the Heaven on Earth in the city center, I'm hosting a banquet for my junior. Junior, please bring your junior along."

Lin Anru accepted the business card, and Lin Lei laughed heartily, patted Lin Anru on the shoulder, turned and left. The other top students also dispersed.

As Leng Qing, wearing a black mask, stood in front of Lin Anru, the top student among them asked a question.

"Do you know why Lin Lei invited Zhou Yan to dinner?"

Lin Anru looked up at Leng Qing in surprise; Leng Qing actually knew Zhou Yan's name.

Leng Qing said calmly.

"Treat them to a meal, behead them, or take them in as dogs."

Leng Qing walked over to Lin Anru and patted her on the shoulder.

"If you value Zhou Yan so much, call him here and I'll help him ward off evil."

Leng Qing also walked away from Lin Anru's side.

Lin Anru watched Leng Qing leave her side until she disappeared, then got into the taxi she had come in and asked the driver to take her back to Suzaku Academy.

……

Zhou Yan's dormitory.

Zhou Yan had just watched a few episodes of anime when there was another knock on the door.

Zhou Yan yawned as he walked out of the bedroom. When he got to the dormitory door, he opened it and saw Lin Anru standing there.

Lin Anru took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yan.

"This is Lin Lei's business card. He said he wants to invite you to dinner tonight."

Zhou Yan took the business card and asked curiously.

"A Feast at Hongmen?"

Lin'an sneered.

"What are you thinking? They want you to back down. If you admit defeat and call them 'brother,' you'll save face."

Indeed, Zhou Yan didn't sense much danger from the business card.

but……

Zhou Yan played with the business card, savoring its flavor.

What if I don't back down?

Lin'an was too lazy to persuade him anymore.

"You won't back down, will you? I'll go with you tonight."
