Chapter 3 Ye Xinxia, an Unexpected Joy?
A semester has passed in the blink of an eye, and students are finally welcoming the long-awaited winter break.
The entrance to Mingwen Girls' High School.
Numerous luxury cars were waiting at the school gate, after all, this is the most famous private middle school in the entire Bocheng.
A delicate young girl, as pretty as a flower, sat in a wheelchair gazing into the distance.
A gust of cold wind swept by, ruffling the girl's hair and revealing a face of unparalleled purity and perfection.
Everyone present was immediately drawn to the beautiful young woman.
But when they saw the lower body, they couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
The perfect young girl seemed to be envied by the heavens, for she was actually disabled!
Just then.
A ripple appeared in the girl's calm eyes.
A tall, handsome young man was seen walking towards them from a distance.
As the person approached, a look of joy appeared on Ye Xinxia's face.
"Brother Jiang Che, you're here!"
She looked at Jiang Che and unconsciously recalled her childhood.
Back then, when he was being called a disabled or orphan by a few brats, it was Jiang Che who stood up for him and beat them up badly.
Since then, Ye Xinxia has developed feelings of dependence and admiration for Jiang Che.
"Xinxia, I'm here."
Jiang Che gently rubbed Ye Xinxia's fair, smooth, and slightly chubby face as usual.
Ye Xinxia had no objection whatsoever; on the contrary, she was delighted.
"Let's go back."
A smile appeared on Jiang Che's usually cold and stern face.
He bypassed the luxury cars and pushed Ye Xinxia into a quiet path by himself.
During this time, Ye Xinxia broke her usual silence and kept talking about her experiences at school.
Jiang Che listened attentively, offering his responses from time to time.
But what the two of them didn't know was...
Several people were lying in wait ahead, ready to ambush their prey...
"Boss, do we really think we can catch them like this?"
"A smart young man with a cigarette dangling from his lips asked."
Xu Bing said confidently:
"I've investigated; she'll definitely take this shortcut!"
"And Jiang Che will definitely come to pick her up. All we have to do is beat him up, and we can get that huge sum of money!"
At this point, Xu Bing laughed arrogantly.
The cowboy standing to the side still had some doubts and said:
"Boss, who exactly told us to beat up Jiang Che?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Bing casually tossed the remaining cigarette butt on the ground.
"Don't ask around. As long as you get paid, that's all that matters. He's probably just some rich kid who's jealous of him."
"That girl is really beautiful; she would be a great girlfriend for me."
Xu Bing's words puzzled the smoker's follower.
"That woman is disabled; what good is it if she's beautiful?"
"You don't know anything!"
Xu Bing said dismissively, then stared at the two figures walking towards him in the distance.
"Alright, the fat sheep is coming, don't let it get away."
Xu Bing and his group immediately grabbed the steel pipes from the ground and strode menacingly toward Jiang Che and Ye Xinxia.
Ye Xinxia looked at the group of people, her face turning deathly pale instantly.
"Brother Jiang Che, why don't you run away? Go call the police first."
Seeing the menacing-looking group, Ye Xinxia was terrified, but she still told Jiang Che to leave first.
However, Jiang Che remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.
He closed his eyes, his mind sank into his sea of consciousness, and the seven shining stars were continuously summoned.
When they saw Jiang Che close his eyes, Xu Bing and the others, supporting their waists, laughed so hard they could barely breathe.
"Ha...haha, scared you into falling asleep?"
"Jiang Che, if you kneel down and kowtow to me twice right now, maybe I'll let you off the hook."
A few thugs mocked.
But the next second—
"Sizzle!"
Star trails appear, magic is achieved!
Jiang Che made a fist with one hand, and with a "whoosh," a ball of fiery red flame appeared in his hand!
The firelight only amplified the boy's violent and murderous aura!
Xu Bing and his companions were so shocked by the scene before them that their minds went blank.
They were jolted awake when the scorching heat of the flames rushed over!
"You...you're a mage!"
"Please... spare me..."
Unlike his previous arrogant and mocking demeanor, Xu Bing was now extremely humble.
He never expected that this callow youth would actually be a magician.
Despite hearing this plea for mercy, Jiang Che did not stop casting the spell.
Because some people will never know the pain unless they are hit with a stick!
"Burning!"
As the incantation was recited, the flames in Jiang Che's hand split into four and surged forth!
The four balls of flame rushed straight towards the four terrified people!
"ah--!"
"It hurts, it hurts so much, I really know I was wrong."
Flames clung to the bodies of the group, and the sensation of being burned by the thousands of degrees of heat was like being in purgatory.
Xu Bing and the others were writhing on the ground in pain, groaning incessantly.
Seeing that the others had been punished enough, Jiang Che also dispelled his fire element.
The group of men were covered in soot and their bodies were charred and cracked from burns.
"Do I have to kowtow?"
Jiang Che walked up to Xu Bing, who was curled up on the ground, and said to him from above.
No, no thanks.
Xu Bing endured the pain and managed to squeeze out a few words of pleading.
After pausing for a moment, he quickly said:
"Master, someone offered me 700 to beat you up."
"700?"
Jiang Che was so angry he almost laughed. These thugs were really something else, daring to attack a mage with only 700 coins!
Xu Bing trembled when he heard the boy's unfriendly tone.
He quickly pulled out seven hundred-yuan bills and an old-fashioned sheepskin scroll from his pocket.
"Seven hundred yuan, plus a family heirloom map; that's all I own."
"And a map?"
Jiang Che curiously picked up the parchment scroll, and unexpectedly found something delightful.
He opened it, hoping to find clues to the treasure.
But after looking at it for a while, I realized it really was just a simple map!
Xu Bing had recovered by this time and was panting heavily.
"My ancestors were hunter mages. This is a map of Cangyun Mountain that they drew. I heard it was worth some money, so I stole it to sell."
He immediately explained the whole story.
Jiang Che was somewhat disappointed, but then he thought it was normal; there couldn't be that many coincidences.
"Get out of here right now!"
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing this, the three people who had been pretending to be dead on the ground quickly got up and ran away.
"Brother Jiang Che, I'm sorry..."
Ye Xinxia, who witnessed everything, felt guilty and cried softly.
If it weren't for her, Brother Jiang Che wouldn't have been in danger.
Jiang Che approached Ye Xinxia, wiped away the tears on her pretty face, and comforted her:
"Xinxia is fine. I was their target all along."
At this moment, the clouds dispersed.
The golden midday sun shone on the two people returning home.
Jiang Che gazed at the vast, boundless sky.
Now that he has been given a second chance at life, he must not let it down!
But we still have to be down-to-earth.
Today, Mu He will return to the Mu family to rest. He has one hundred evolution points after his fire-type breakthrough, which he can use to copy his ice-type affinity talent.
At this point, he couldn't help but wonder about the effects of the B-grade talent, Ice Affinity.
During this period, he focused all his energy on fire magic and hadn't practiced ice magic much...
