Chapter 828: Sixth Master: You’re from the Xu Family? Not Mine? (1)

Inside the hotpot restaurant, the mist was smokey and full of a choking spicy smell.

Jing Hanchuan stared at the barley tea in front of him and suddenly remembered what had happened more than 20 years ago.

He only had vague memories and didn’t remember the specific details clearly.

…

The Jing and Xu families were located in the north and south of the capital respectively, and they rarely had the chance to meet each other. At the time, it seemed that in Lingnan, a certain family held a wedding, and both families were invited.

At the time, the relationship between the two families was not as stiff as it was now. When they met, they would greet each other, and they could even sit down to chat for a while. But they didn’t have a deep relationship.

He still remembered when his mother introduced him to the Xu family. He still remembered this Miss Xu’s appearance. She was calm, slender, and beautiful.

Her nose was also very delicate. She kept holding Master Xu’s hand, and when she greeted him, she was a little stiff and dull.

She looked a little shy and seemed unwilling to greet people.

Her skin was a little dark. No matter how beautiful she was, she didn’t look that outstanding among a group of white and tender children.

After all, white covered the three uglies¹, and she was really tan at the time.

Because of their family backgrounds, Jing Hanchuan and Xu Yao were often compared.

Moreover, Xu Yao was young, so he was naturally not as good as Jing Hanchuan in many aspects. So whenever the two of them saw each other, they competed openly and covertly.

In fact, they had even fought a few times behind their parents’ backs, but Xu Yao had suffered a crushing defeat each time.

Jing Hanchuan didn’t want to bother with him. After all, he was much older than him. But this arrogant brat always seemed to be going against him. He always liked to provoke him and sent himself to be beaten up, so he naturally wouldn’t be polite.

When a group of people with children gathered together, some people especially liked to compare children.

“I heard that you all learned taekwondo? What levels are you at?”

Although Jing Hanchuan was young, he already had a red and black belt. Xu Yao had just started learning, and he only had an entry-level white and yellow belt. The difference between the two of them was not just a little bit.

This made Xu Yao feel aggrieved and depressed. But someone even said to let them spar.

It was just sparring. Master Xu smiled and said, “Hanchuan, you have to be careful. Xu Yao is still young.”

Jing Hanchuan said, “I’ll hold back.”

Fighting without using all his strength was simply trampling on Xu Yao’s self-esteem. Boys always had some arrogance and unyielding bones in their bodies. When he heard this, he became even more unconvinced.

Immediately afterward, he was KOed.

Moreover, because of the height difference, he was pressed to the floor a few times.

This grudge was really big.

In the latter half of the wedding banquet, the bride and groom started to toast each table. Other than the children, everyone was toasting each other. The children that no one cared about ran to another place to play.

Because Xu Yao was holding back his anger, he prepared to fight Jing Hanchuan.

At the time, he had gathered a lot of friends and thought that even if he couldn’t defeat him by himself, a group could at least deal with him.

In the woods behind the wedding venue… When Xu Yuanfei rushed over, a group of kids was already beating each other up. She couldn’t tell who was who. Some of them were clearly in the same group, but they were attacking each other.

Xu Yuanfei prepared to stop the fight. “Xu Yao! Stop fighting! The adults are here!”

When the brats heard that the adults were here, they dispersed in a hurry.

The stone in Jing Hanchuan’s hand was originally for scaring these kids. But when he heard that the elders were here, his heart tightened, and the stone flew out of his hand for some reason.

The stone was flying at Xu Yao. But when Xu Yuanfei saw her brother about to be hit, she immediately rushed over to protect him.

Then…

When they saw the red on her forehead, the children were dumbfounded.

“Big Sis!” When Xu Yao saw blood seeping out, he panicked and didn’t know what to do. After all, he was still young.

Jing Hanchuan was relatively calm. He walked to Xu Yuanfei’s side and half-squatted. “Come up.”

Xu Yuanfei was also dumbfounded from the hit. She obediently climbed onto his back and felt her body instantly rise into the air. He carried her on his back and went to find their parents.

The stone had indeed flown out of Jing Hanchuan’s hand. He acknowledged it.

Moreover, there was no doctor around at the time, so he even gave her emergency treatment.

“Don’t be afraid. It’ll be fine.” Jing Hanchuan didn’t know how to comfort people, and he almost always repeated similar words.

Surprisingly, she didn’t cry. Even when he covered her bleeding area with something, she only frowned and took a deep breath.

Jing Hanchuan had a good impression of her.

Although she was dark-skinned, she was very brave.

At the time, it was said that she had been sent to the hospital and even had a few stitches. Master Xu couldn’t sit still anymore and said that he wanted to smash a hole in Jing Hanchuan’s head.
