After leaving the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, Li Shiqi came to the Jishi Hall.
Though the method for refining the Youth-Preserving Pill was extremely tedious, it was no difficult task for Li Shiqi.
After picking up some medicinal herbs at the Jishi Hall, Li Shiqi prepared to find a place to refine the pills.
Just then, however, his phone suddenly rang, and he left the Jishi Hall like a gust of wind.
Seeing Li Shiqi walk far away, Manager Liu looked at the clerk. "Did you commit all the herbs that kid just picked to memory?"
The clerk nodded. "Every gram and every qian, I've got it all clearly memorized!"
Looking thoroughly satisfied, Manager Liu took the prescription and set off toward the Jiang Family.
Although he did not know what the prescription was actually for, Old Master Jiang had given explicit instructions: whatever herbs Li Shiqi picked must be reported to him.
Inside Dragon City University, Li Weiwei wore an ugly expression, yet she did not dare to easily step outside the school gates.
Outside the gates, apart from the several girls who had bullied her, there was also a scar-faced man.
This scar-faced man was the sworn older brother of those girls. Word had it that he ran in these circles, and he had brought several men along with him.
Inside Dragon City University, quite a few people watched from afar, sighing with emotion.
The last time Li Weiwei was bullied, a male student had stepped in and beaten the tattooed woman.
This incident had caused quite a stir throughout Dragon City University.
Now that the other side had come looking for trouble again, they probably wouldn't let the matter rest.
More importantly, the one who had come this time was none other than that scar-faced man.
"Don't think you can hide just by refusing to come out!"
The tattooed woman sneered. "Let's see how I toy with you to death today!"
"This is simply outrageous!"
Shen Ruofang was furious and wanted to rush out to argue with them, but Li Weiwei pulled her back. "They outnumber us, let's not go out!"
Shen Ruofang felt rather helpless. In truth, given her strength, dealing with these minor characters was not worth mentioning at all.
It was just that her father had told her that while studying away from home, she must not display her family's martial arts, lest she invite a fatal calamity.
Therefore, over the past few years, she had never shown her skills while at university.
Yet today, if they truly drove Li Weiwei to a desperate plight, Shen Ruofang would certainly not stand by with folded arms.
Though the Shen Family was not a Dragon City family, they were nonetheless an ancient martial arts family.
Back in their territory, who would ever dare provoke her.
Right at that moment, however, Li Shiqi had already arrived at Dragon City University. "Weiwei, are you alright?"
"I'm fine for now, but there'll be trouble in a minute!"
Shen Ruofang glanced at the people outside the school gates.
Only then did Li Shiqi realize these were the same girls who had bullied Li Weiwei the other day.
"You've truly lived long enough!"
Li Shiqi's eyes turned icy. Last time, he had held back from dealing a fatal blow.
He hadn't expected them to dare show their faces again today.
"Big brother, that's the brat!"
Seeing Li Shiqi, the tattooed woman hurried over to lodge a complaint.
The scar-faced man glanced sideways at Li Shiqi, his gaze filled with malice.
Yet he did not charge into Dragon City University, choosing instead to wait outside.
"Come with me!"
Pulling Li Weiwei along, Li Shiqi walked out toward the entrance of Dragon City University.
He wanted to see just who dared to touch his sister today.
Shen Ruofang was somewhat surprised, feeling that Li Shiqi looked very much like a real man.
Especially recalling the scene when Li Shiqi treated her illness, it left her lingering with sweet memories.
"Has this kid lost his mind?! He actually dares to walk right out!"
Inside Dragon City University, quite a few students voiced their astonishment.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, the scar-faced man commanded immense prestige.
Li Shiqi's reckless barging made him look rather like a hotheaded novice.
"If you kneel and beg for mercy right now and let my sisters here let you off, maybe you can still leave alive today!"
The scar-faced man's voice was cold as he looked at Li Shiqi.
"That's right, get down on your knees for me!" the tattooed woman demanded haughtily.
She would never forget being beaten by Li Shiqi earlier today; it was the ultimate humiliation of her life.
"You're their sworn older brother?" Li Shiqi demanded.
Li Weiwei pulled gently on Li Shiqi, feeling a surge of worry in her heart.
"Tch, little punk, are you interrogating—?" The scar-faced man sneered.
Unfortunately, before his laughter could even finish, Li Shiqi sent him flying with a single kick.
Crashing heavily to the ground, the scar-faced man winced in agony, his face twisted in pain.
"You brat have a death wish!"
Several of Scarface's subordinates stepped forward immediately, preparing to teach Li Shiqi a lesson.
The crowd at Dragon City University stood dumbfounded, followed by a burst of cheers.
They hadn't expected Li Shiqi to be so manly—he even dared to beat Scarface.
The tattooed woman off to the side was completely stunned, convinced that nobody could save Li Shiqi now and that he was going to be beaten to death here today.
She knew all too well just how ruthless her sworn brother was.
Boom...
Yet in the very next instant, Li Shiqi struck the men directly with a single palm strike, sending them flying to crash heavily onto the ground in an utterly wretched state.
"A martial artist!"
Shen Ruofang's gaze turned peculiar as she secretly glanced at Li Shiqi.
She had originally intended to step in personally if Li Shiqi proved unable to handle the situation, even if it meant breaking the rules her father had laid down.
She never expected that Li Shiqi was also a martial artist.
"Holy cow, what kind of monster is this? Is he really that heaven-defying?!"
"The Dragon City God of War!"
"The Dragon City God of War!"
A cheer erupted inside Dragon City University. Li Shiqi's actions drove them into a frenzy.
This Scarface had bullied quite a few people at their Dragon City University.
Li Shiqi's intervention had truly vented their anger.
"Do you brat even know who I am?"
The scar-faced man threatened, "I'm a man from the Allheaven Sect!"
Li Shiqi stepped forward, pressing his foot down directly onto the scar-faced man's face. "No matter who you are, if you dare bully my sister, there is only one outcome: death!"
Hearing this, the tattooed woman trembled with fright, wanting to flee the scene.
With a flick of his foot, Li Shiqi sent a pebble shooting forward like a bullet.
The tattooed woman instantly collapsed to her knees with a broken bone, looking thoroughly wretched.
Seeing this, Li Weiwei found it hard to believe. Since when had her brother become so formidable?
Several people nearby seemed to recognize Scarface and hurried to report the matter upward.
Within moments, four or five cars drove up.
The men stepping out of the vehicles clutched weapons, dressed in suits and ties, and wore sunglasses, exuding an imposing aura.
"It's people from the Allheaven Sect!"
Someone in the crowd gasped. There were three major underground forces in Dragon City, and the Allheaven Sect was one of them.
Rumor had it that the scar-faced man belonged to the Allheaven Sect; everyone had assumed he was just boasting, but it turned out to be true.
"Lord Hu! Lord Hu has come!"
The scar-faced man was ecstatic. Even with Li Shiqi's foot pressing down on his head, he could not contain his excitement.
Surrounded by a throng of followers, Lord Hu puffed on a cigar as he strolled toward them.
Word had it that one of their Allheaven Sect brothers had been beaten up, and since he happened to be nearby, he had come to take a look.
He hadn't expected it to actually be true. In the entire Dragon City, someone actually dared to lay hands on people from the Allheaven Sect—they truly had the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard.
"Lord Hu, I'm Scarface!"
The scar-faced man hurriedly shouted, "You must seek justice for me!"
