Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1606 - 878: Forgive Him

Han Bridge Street.

Tongtong shouted his name, drawing Jiang Ning into the scene with a stunning flair.

Even after Jiang Ning switched off the car's bright, flashy lights, his own presence outshone everything, captivating everyone around.

Prior to his arrival, a group of over ten young guys had encircled Lu Qiqi. The terror she felt—who among her friends could truly grasp it?

The Yan Tianpeng she had summoned kept playing the frail card and got pushed around like a doormat, all while Zhang Chi continued his taunts.

Lu Qiqi believed her night was ruined and that she'd surely face shame from the leopard-print girl, not daring to picture even graver possibilities.

In that moment of utter hopelessness, Jiang Ning arrived on his bike, cutting through the crowd like a piercing ray of hope.

Right then, Lu Qiqi nearly burst into tears from the emotion.

She was aware of his fighting prowess, yet she couldn't have foreseen him battling in such a fierce manner... It explained why the class kept it under wraps.

Zhang Chi stood completely stunned. He'd come across tales of drivers ramming into folks, but witnessing someone deliberately crashing an electric bike like this was a first. Since when did electric bikes pack such a punch?

As the thought crossed his mind, his gaze drifted to the bike's front, where the titanium gray coating bore a deep indentation, as though marking its many triumphs.

Unlike Lu Qiqi and Zhang Chi, whose shock was profound, Yan Tianpeng felt milder surprise, his mind fixed solely on the gains ahead!

Yan Tianpeng praised him, "Incredibly powerful, I won't bother you guys, I'm heading out..."

While saying that, he began to back away, prompting Lu Qiqi to yell, "Yan Tianpeng, I paid you five hundred yuan, and this is how you handle it!"

At her outburst, Zhang Chi's face twisted in shock: "What? Five hundred?"

He demanded hastily, "You actually handed over five hundred to him!"

Lu Qiqi looked confused, "Yes, five hundred, what's the issue?"

Zhang Chi propelled himself forward with his feet, jumping up to block Yan Tianpeng: "You jerk, for a five hundred yuan gig, you only toss me thirty?"

The foes had barely dropped, yet these two were now squabbling over the earnings.

Lu Qiqi grumbled, "If I'd realized earlier, I should've just used five hundred to bring in Jiang Ning!"

Xue Yuantong sensed a sharp regret within, having passed up five hundred yuan—sufficient for Dongdong to hustle for three or four days straight!

Naturally, Lu Qiqi felt too shy to demand the 500 yuan back from Yan Tianpeng, especially since she'd nearly gotten him thrashed.

As Lu Qiqi expressed her gratitude to Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong mourned the lost five hundred yuan, Yan Tianpeng and Zhang Chi bickered about splitting the take, and Xue Chuchu observed silently, lost in thought.

Through the talks between Jiang Ning and the rest, she pieced together that they were schoolmates and grasped the full story...

Xue Chuchu: ’Is Fourth Middle School this intense?’

Unlike the elite A-grade pupils in Second Middle School's Qingbei Class, the fierce competitions and late-night clashes at Fourth Middle School felt worlds apart.

Amid the turmoil, a sleek white big G approached steadily, its easy path cleared by Jiang Ning who had scattered all the obstructing electric bikes.

Lu Qiqi glanced over and identified the white big G.

She whispered to herself, ’Curious which rich individual this might be now...’

Yan Tianpeng continued bargaining with Zhang Chi, whittling down Zhang Chi's demand from 250 yuan to 99 yuan, but upon spotting the big G, he switched focus instantly: "Chi Zi, check out that fancy ride!"

Zhang Chi took a peek, struck by the vehicle's imposing and mighty vibe, then inquired, "What's the price tag on it?"

Yan Tianpeng replied, "It starts at a million at the very least. Nowadays, anyone rolling in a big G counts as seriously loaded."

Zhuang Jianhui stepped out from the car door. Just then, the aura surrounding Jiang Ning dimmed, exposing his real appearance.

Yan Tianpeng muttered, "That's Young Master Zhuang from our school."

Zhang Chi shot a scornful side-eye, "What Young Master Zhuang? You keep fawning over him like that—do you enjoy playing lackey?"

He remained unimpressed; that so-called young master was still held up by a few street toughs.

Yan Tianpeng eyed the shabby-looking Zhang Chi, oblivious to the fact that he truly was a young master.

Lu Qiqi spotted Zhuang Jianhui too. He stood as the most striking, suave, and enigmatic guy in Fourth Middle School. Composing herself with logic, she plastered on a grin: "Such a surprise!"

Zhuang Jianhui gave a subtle nod, then turned his gaze to Jiang Ning. Before he uttered a word, Wei Zishan burst out in thrill, "Jiang Ning, you're absolutely dashing, you're stealing my heart!"

She quivered with delight, "Xiao Pang, assist me in canceling my Xi’an ticket!"

Lin Zida seemed baffled, "For what reason?"

Wei Zishan stared at Jiang Ning with eyes sparkling like stars, brimming with feeling, "Since my hero has finally shown up."

Jiang Ning: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Xue Yuantong grew irritated, fuming inwardly: ’He serves as one of my key warriors!’

With Tongtong nearby, Jiang Ning steadied his emotions, glanced at Wei Zishan, and feigned ignorance by asking, "Who might you be?"

Wei Zishan's expression stiffened, and she responded in disbelief, "You don't know me? I'm Wei Zishan, remember last summer at the barbecue, when you landed three punches and two kicks with pow pow pow!"

As Wei Zishan recounted the event, Xue Chuchu slowly recalled the girl. She'd encountered Wei Zishan once previously, remembering her with gray-white dreadlocks, bold makeup, large hoop earrings, and an extravagant style.

However, in Xue Chuchu's view now, Wei Zishan sported dark hair, bare face, and skin pale from endless late nights, though a fierce, unyielding spark in her eyebrows made it tough to connect her to that prior wild version.

Jiang Ning stretched out his response on purpose: "Oh~ so it's you... Looking sharp now, way better on the eyes than last time."

He didn't realize it stemmed from the New Year family reunion, where Wei Zishan had to clean up her act to dodge complaints from the relatives.

Receiving such rare approval from Jiang Ning lifted Wei Zishan's mood even higher: "I always figured your combat moves were top-notch, but who knew your riding skills would blow me away too!"

Jiang Ning replied casually, "Practice makes perfect after plenty of rides."

Wei Zishan bubbled with excitement while talking to Jiang Ning, as Zhuang Jianhui and Lin Zida joined in now and then, blending in smoothly and harmoniously.
