“The Luo family that everyone used to fear—nowadays no one gives them any respect.”
“Luo Xingyun, looks like we’re enemies meeting on a narrow road, huh?”
Luo Xingyun frowned and looked at the man.
“It’s you? Wan Yongchun?”
Wan Yongchun let out a cold laugh, casually pushing aside the burly man and standing over Luo Xingyun, looking down at him.
“What?”
“Already pretending you don’t recognize me?”
“Back in ninth grade, you beat me up, remember?”
“Do you know…”
“How long I’ve waited for this day?”
“If your last name wasn’t Luo, I’d have crippled you long ago.”
“Let’s see who can save you today, you little punk!”
“Old grudges and new, we’ll settle them all at once!”
Luo Xingyun’s eyes were filled with panic, but he still stood his ground firmly in front of Wan Yongchun.
Even when facing Wan Yongchun’s bodyguards, he showed no fear.
Because that was the Luo family’s way.
You could be kind, you could be cruel—
But you were never allowed to bully the weak, and you never ran from your actions. You never shirked responsibility or passed the blame.
In other words, you could be a bad guy who picked on equals, but never a coward who picked on the helpless.
And if you made a mistake and someone came to make you pay for it, you had to accept it like a man. Luo family members’ words were as solid as nails—never deceitful, never dishonorable.
That was the family’s tradition, passed down through four generations.
From Luo Pengtian’s grandfather’s time until now, that legacy had remained unchanged.
Wan Yongchun glared at Luo Xingyun and shouted, “Beat him! Just leave him breathing.”
“The Luo family’s fallen—no one’s coming to help this brat.”
“They’re still relying on the marriage alliance with our Wan family to make a comeback, they wouldn’t dare act up!”
“Go!”
Wan family’s bodyguards, of course, obeyed the young master’s orders and charged at Luo Xingyun.
But the young guys behind Luo Xingyun, hot-blooded and loyal, didn’t hesitate.
They didn’t care about aristocratic families or bodyguards.
They knew how well Luo Xingyun treated them.
Even if they knew they didn’t stand a chance in a fight, they still rushed forward to protect him.
“Cloud Bro, run! We’ll hold them off!”
Yes, these boys knew their limits. They knew there was no way a bunch of teenagers could win against a group of burly adult bodyguards. They were just trying to buy Luo Xingyun some time.
Luo Xingyun’s eyes turned cold with disdain. He glanced deeply at Wan Yongchun.
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you think your Cloud Bro would ditch his people and run away?”
“Even if I get beaten half to death today and end up lying here unable to move, I won’t run.”
“No one from the Luo family is a coward!”
The two sides clashed instantly.
With just one charge, the Wan family bodyguards nearly overpowered the group of youths.
Though the teenagers outnumbered them—over a dozen to just three bodyguards—
These three bodyguards were trained adults. The high schoolers didn’t stand a chance.
It wasn’t even a fair fight.
They were crushed immediately.
But Luo Xingyun and his boys still fought at the front line, shielding each other from the blows, blood splattering everywhere.
The bodyguards did obey Wan Yongchun’s orders,
But they held back a lot.
After all, they were just kids.
Even if the Luo family had declined, it was still not a family a lowly bodyguard could afford to offend.
A light beating to teach a lesson was fine—
But if someone got seriously hurt, the Wan family might have to take the fall.
Conflicts between families worked that way, and the bodyguards knew the drill: don’t go overboard.
Otherwise, these kids would be in the hospital in under a minute.
Still, when fists start flying, it’s hard to be too careful.
A heavy punch from a bodyguard landed squarely on Luo Xingyun’s face, blood spurting from the corner of his mouth.
Originally, Wan Yongchun should have felt satisfied, even thrilled.
But watching Luo Xingyun desperately protect his boys—and seeing his boys risk everything to protect him—
The more Wan Yongchun watched, the more furious he became.
Especially the way Luo Xingyun, with his face covered in blood, still looked at him with that same contempt as before—Wan Yongchun just couldn’t stand it.
Why?
Seriously, why?
Back then, the Luo family was the number one family in Fengcheng. You bullied me, looked down on me, fine—I, Wan Yongchun, endured it.
But now your Luo family is finished, fallen from grace, and you’re lying here all beaten up—
So why do you still look down on me?
Why is there still not the slightest hint of fear or surrender in your eyes? What gives you the right?!
The scuffle between both sides hadn’t even lasted thirty seconds—
When suddenly a loud shout came from outside:
“Everyone stop right there!”
“Wan Yongchun! Don’t make me call Grandpa Wan. If that happens, none of us will be able to walk away clean!”
That shout immediately brought everything to a halt.
Mainly because everyone there knew the person shouting.
Luo Xinghe stood in the middle of the two groups, panting, then shot a fierce glare at Luo Xingyun. After a deep breath, he turned to Wan Yongchun.
“Yongchun, bringing bodyguards to bully kids. Wow, how impressive of you.”
“This the kind of family values the Wan family teaches?”
Wan Yongchun clenched his jaw and glared hatefully at Luo Xingyun.
“Calling in the grown-ups now, huh, Luo Xingyun?”
“You’ve got no shame.”
Luo Xingyun’s eyes widened in anger.
“Bullshit… who’s the one with no shame here? Come on then, one-on-one if you’ve got the guts!”
Even Luo Xinghe was a bit speechless.
You brought three trained adult bodyguards to bully a bunch of high school kids…
And you’re calling him shameless?
Wan Yongchun really managed to disgrace the entire Wan family today.
Grinding his teeth, Wan Yongchun said:
“Luo Xinghe, you think you’re still the big shot you used to be? You think people still need to fear you?”
“Today, I’ll make sure everyone in Fengcheng knows—Wan Yongchun is planting his flag right on top of your Luo family!”
“I’ll make Luo Xingyun regret everything. I’ll make him crawl out of here on his knees!”
Luo Xinghe’s expression turned colder and colder.
If Wan Yongchun had just fought Luo Xingyun himself, Luo Xinghe probably wouldn’t have interfered at all.
But if he was going to use his family’s power or bring bodyguards to bully people—
Luo Xinghe would never let that slide.
As soon as Wan Yongchun finished speaking, his bodyguards made their move.
Too bad—
The same seasoned professionals who had just looked so intimidating—
Suddenly lost all their swagger when facing Luo Xinghe.
Luo Xinghe made just a few moves—
And it was like something straight out of a kung fu movie. In a few swift strikes, he knocked them all down.
At that moment, not just Wan Yongchun—even Luo Xingyun was stunned.
His little buddies? They were all staring at Luo Xinghe with stars in their eyes.
“Whoa… Brother He is insane!”
“Invincible!”
“Feels like Bruce Lee, man!”
“Woooow!”
“So fast and clean!”
“Beast mode! These big guys only know how to bully kids!”
Wan Yongchun stood there dumbfounded, watching his bodyguards fall one after another—his brain refusing to process what was happening.
He involuntarily took a step back.
Luo Xinghe shook his hand out and looked back at Luo Xingyun.
“Our Luo family may have fallen, but we’re not so far gone that just anyone can walk all over us.”
“Go. If there’s a grudge, settle it. If there’s a score, make them pay.”
Luo Xingyun lit up with excitement, and immediately leapt up—
Charging straight at Wan Yongchun.
