Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 251 Return to City Z

Old Zhou Si stretched out his hand, seemingly wanting to curse, but his face was swollen, and he couldn't say anything clearly. As he left, Lin Yue's hand moved slightly, and a wisp of true qi, invisible to the naked eye, flowed out from between her fingers and then directly entered Old Mrs. Zhou's body.

After the two left, Old Mrs. Zhou lay on the ground, her body trembling slightly. Her hands gripped the ground tightly, as if trying to support her frail body.

After a while, Grandma Zhou finally slowly got up from the ground. Her movements were somewhat difficult, and each movement was accompanied by painful groans.

When she finally stood up straight, people could clearly see her face, filled with resentment. Her eyes were fixed on the direction the two had left, as if trying to etch their images into her mind.

"Quickly, go and notify the family's experts! We must bring those two traitors back! Bring them back!" Old Madam Zhou's voice was sharp and piercing, echoing in the air. Her voice was filled with rage.

Mr. Wang slowly got up from the ground. His condition was obviously worse than that of Mrs. Zhou; his face was swollen like a pig's head, and his already obese body looked even more bloated.

"Zhou family, you must give me an explanation! Otherwise, the Wang family will not let this go!" Boss Wang's voice was also full of anger, and his throat had become hoarse from shouting too much.

Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Old Mrs. Zhou was even more anxious and angry. She knew, of course, that this matter had escalated significantly; she would not only have to face the wrath of the Wang family, but also find a way to seek revenge on Lin Yue.

However, just as she was getting anxious, she suddenly felt a rush of blood to her head, a sweet taste in her throat, and then another mouthful of blood gushed out.

The blood splattered directly onto the ground, forming a shocking pool. Old Mrs. Zhou's body also collapsed to the ground.

"Master!" The people around him exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward, hurriedly taking him to the hospital.

.........

After resolving the Zhou family's matter, Lin Yue stayed in Y City for a few more days before returning to Z City. During this time, the Zhou family didn't cause any trouble, presumably because they didn't dare to do it again.

The Zhou family patriarch was so angered that he was hospitalized and sent directly to the ICU. Although his life is stable, Lin Yue knows that the old man only has six months left at most.

She inquired with Li Yuejiao and learned that the four members of the Zhou family were secretly fighting over the family's assets. Judging from the situation, the Zhou family would probably never be able to return to its position as the number one family.

The day after Lin Yue returned to her house in Z City, Li Yuetian arrived uninvited with study materials.

Seeing Li Yuetian standing at the door with breakfast in his hands, Lin Yue felt grateful, but...

She really didn't want to get up so early. She hadn't told Li Yuetian that she was going back to Z City because she was thinking of sleeping in all day.

After leading the person inside, she asked, "How did you know I was back?"

"My sister told me." Lin Yue sighed and rubbed her forehead, not pressing the matter further. After finishing their breakfast, the two began studying. Li Yuetian explained the concepts clearly and logically, but Lin Yue remained as drowsy as ever.

Li Yuetian watched as she was about to fall asleep again, and remembered the absurd idea his sister had mentioned.

Li Yuetian cautiously reached out and gently nudged Lin Yue's shoulder. Lin Yue, like a startled fawn, jolted awake, looking at Li Yuetian with bewildered eyes.

When she noticed Li Yuetian's hesitant expression, her heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up inside her.

"Ah, sorry, I fell asleep again..." Lin Yue's face was full of apology, revealing a hint of embarrassment and unease.

Li Yuetian hesitated for a long time, seemingly struggling with something internally. Finally, he took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say to Lin Yue, "Lin Yue, you can't keep getting distracted like this. Not only will it slow down your learning progress, but how will you catch up?"

He deliberately put on a stern face, appearing somewhat serious: "I've been preparing lessons for you very diligently. Your attitude towards learning is not only wasting my time, but also wasting your own."

Lin Yue's heart raced instantly. A wave of shame washed over her, and she lowered her head, unable to meet Li Yuetian's eyes. However, she suddenly realized, when had Li Yuetian become so domineering?

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Lin Yue understood that Li Yuetian was right; her attitude towards learning was indeed problematic.

Seeing this, Li Yuetian forced himself to maintain a serious expression and stared intently at Lin Yue, saying, "Lin Yue, if you still can't correct your attitude towards learning, then I'll have to take some special measures to teach you a lesson!"

As he spoke, he stood up and began searching the room for the board used for punishment, but after searching for a long time, he could not find it.

Just as Li Yuetian was looking for a board, Lin Yue suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Hey, you're really looking for it!" Lin Yue's voice trembled slightly. "I'll study hard, just stop looking for that stuff." She quickly stood up from her chair, staring at Li Yuetian warily.

Hearing Lin Yue's words, Li Yuetian stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her. He noticed Lin Yue's nervous appearance and couldn't help but find it a little funny, but he still tried his best to control his expression and pretend to be serious.

"Are you sure you can learn seriously?" Li Yuetian asked with a stern face. "Besides, even without a paddle, I have other ways to spank you."

Lin Yue stomped her feet in anger at Li Yuetian's words, her face flushed red. "How dare you! I'm a girl!" She felt that Li Yuetian was deliberately trying to scare her. How could he treat a girl like that?

However, when she saw Li Yuetian's serious expression, her doubts deepened. Did he really believe this method could help her study? Or was he actually a pervert trying to satisfy his own fetishes? Various thoughts flashed through Lin Yue's mind, leaving her somewhat at a loss.

Based on her understanding of Li Yuetian over the years, he wasn't that kind of person. Was she just overthinking things?

Li Yuetian felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly; he was so nervous he could almost hear his own heartbeat. However, the words Li Yuejiao had once told him kept flashing through his mind: "Don't be timid, be tough."

This made him take a deep breath, muster his courage, and say with a stiff upper lip, "Of course I dare. I've sacrificed my precious time to tutor you, but what about you? What did you do? If I were really a teacher, shouldn't a student like you be punished?"

Hearing Li Yuetian's words, Lin Yue blushed with shame. She suddenly realized that perhaps she had been overthinking things. Li Yuetian was kindly helping her with her studies, yet she still harbored doubts about him, even suspecting him of having ulterior motives. She really shouldn't have done that.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue's momentum deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon. She lowered her head, not daring to look Li Yuetian in the eye, and her voice became extremely weak, almost inaudible to herself: "I know I was wrong, I deserved to be hit, I will study hard."

Looking at Lin Yue's pitiful appearance, Li Yuetian couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. However, he suppressed his inner turmoil and continued to maintain a stern face, saying, "Then I'll believe you this once, but you'd better remember, if you get distracted again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Yue nodded like a chick pecking at rice, sat back down in her chair, and stared intently at her book, not daring to slack off even a little. Li Yuetian also began explaining the knowledge points again, his voice much sterner, and unexpectedly, Lin Yue really did become much more focused.

Before she knew it, it was noon. Lin Yue closed her book, surprised that she had remembered significantly more information than usual today. She had to admit, Li Yuetian's teaching was even more impressive than Chi Xiaoyu's, and her last remaining doubts about him vanished.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "You must be tired too. I'll treat you to lunch." Li Yuetian was about to refuse, but his stomach growled at an inopportune moment, and his face instantly turned red to his ears. Lin Yue was amused by the sound and laughed heartily, "Come on, come on, don't be shy."

The two arrived at a restaurant. Li Yuetian looked at Lin Yue, who had gone to order, and felt relieved that he had listened to his sister and stood up for himself.

(I'm a bit conflicted about whether or not to have the main character get beaten up.)
