Aragon's bodyguard sighed to himself, knowing that they were going to lose this time.
Dealing with such punks, he could easily handle dozens of them by himself.
But he hadn't thought that the final factor that would decide the outcome of the battle would fall on those two punks.
Chen Mu was a little excited and a little surprised, since he could feel that the fight was different from before.
That kind of feeling of power manipulation was incomparably clear.
But what surprised him was something else.
In the split second when he had just swung the wooden chair, his adversary's movements had been as slow as slow motion in his eyes.
He almost didn't have to think about it, and could easily hit that unlucky student.
It was a feeling he had never felt before, and it was very strong. But it had come so suddenly, and left without any warning. In just the blink of an eye, the world in front of Chen Mu's eyes returned to normal.
If it weren't for the fact that this was an academy, and that that guy was a student and not a punk, Chen Mu would have taken his life just then!
He and Copper had long since experienced the cruelty of reality, and never give your adversary any chance. That was something that everyone who had been in the outside world knew.
It seemed that those last few days of physical training had had some effect.
Chen Mu was a little puzzled, and a little uncertain.
Because he could feel that his control of power had become more precise, and more free.
If it had been before, he would never have been able to do it so cleanly and efficiently.
Although it was only for a brief moment, that world had suddenly slowed down, but Chen Mu was already deeply fascinated by it.
He was very excited, without the slightest fear.
He was just now hoping that those people would throw themselves at him, so that he could once again enter that magical world.
Aragon saw the look in Chen Mu's and Copper's eyes, and a trace of fear flashed through them.
Those two were different from Zuo Tingyi.
No matter how big a conflict arose between him and Zuo Tingyi, their bodies wouldn't be harmed, and what they would lose would only be the power of their subordinates, which was one of the unspoken rules of Eastern Wei Academy.
The rumor that he had been sent to the garrison by Ceng Xinyi's brother to be subjected to some kind of abuse and whatnot was completely false, since he had only been given a warning by Ceng Xinyi's brother.
That was probably the characteristic of the conflicts between the princelings.
After they grew up, they could become mortal enemies, and it was either you die or I die.
But just then, before they were completely independent, they had to maintain restraint, which was a characteristic of the entire upper class of the Heavenly Federation.
No one had ever made him feel this way.
He believed that in a few minutes, if the others were beaten to the ground or ran away, the two ruthless ghosts would not hesitate to slap the chair at him.
He couldn't help but look at his own bodyguard, but he didn't have any hope. That bodyguard and Hong Tao were like two roosters, glaring at each other.
Aragon's heart tightened at the thought of the fallen man who was still struggling in pain on the ground, his body arched like a shrimp, and his miserable howls never ceased.
Aragorn swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his forehead already covered with sweat.
A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Although the Department of Discipline was scary, other than losing face, he would not suffer any substantial harm.
But it was different here. His gaze followed the movement of the wooden chair in Chen Mu's hands.
Looking carefully at the two of them, one was garishly dressed, with all the shiny gadgets he had on him being cheap goods. But he could see from the intelligent glint in his eyes that he was a rather clever person.
And the other looked even more ordinary, with an ordinary height and ordinary clothes. In the eyes of someone like Aragorn who enjoyed life, that kind of clothing was simply crude.
Even in terms of appearance, there wasn't anything remarkable about him, and if you threw him into a crowd, he would never be found.
But such an ordinary person, whom Aragorn wouldn't have given more than a glance under ordinary circumstances, just then made him feel some fear. He felt that he couldn't see through that person.
That was something that had rarely happened to him.
Coming from a family of merchants, he had an excellent gift for reading people's words and body language, and under the influence of what he had seen and heard, he was quite good at it. But he hadn't thought that he would run into someone he couldn't see through that day.
He decided to compromise for the time being.
"OK, I'll go to the Department of Discipline." What Aragorn said made the gang of playmates around him breathe a collective sigh of relief.
That was the end of the matter, and Chen Mu and Copper were the first to leave, with no one daring to stop them.
Zuo Tingyi wanted to call out to them, but seeing the two of them leave without saying anything made his and Hong Tao's faces a little unsightly.
Of course, Chen Mu didn't consider Zuo Tingyi's and Hong Tao's faces.
Copper had originally wanted to say hello to them, since even a blind person could see that those two were pretty powerful people at Eastern Wei Academy.
The camaraderie of fighting shoulder to shoulder that day was enough to make the two sides friends, which would be good for their future development.
But taking a look at Chen Mu, he still didn't open his mouth, feeling rather regretful.
Copper very quickly put that little bit of regret to the back of his mind, and said excitedly, "Hey, today's fight was really cool, and the feeling of bullying a weakling is really good!"
But then he suddenly thought of a question, and asked a little strangely, "Blockhead, did you take the wrong medicine today?
Why do you want to meddle in other people's business?
That's not really your style. "
"That woman did me a favor." Chen Mu's response was very simple.
"Ah."
Copper was startled, and then immediately became interested, "I say, you never meddle in other people's business, so why did you get involved today?
Come on, tell me, hey, what did that chick do to help you?
But I don't think she knew you, and didn't even say hello to you. "
"It was in the area of card making." Chen Mu told him what had happened that day.
"Mmmm, that's what I ought to do today." Copper suddenly realized.
Having been on the streets since they were little, they were well aware of the fickleness of the world, and it had always been very rare for them to get help from others.
So they especially cherished the help they got from others.
Although they had only unintentionally helped Chen Mu that time, Chen Mu felt that he ought to return the favor, so he had stood out that day without looking back.
They hadn't thought about how much of an effect their help would have, but they had felt that they ought to stand out, and so they had done it.
It was that kind of simple mentality that made Chen Mu do what he did.
Maybe it would have looked ridiculous to an ordinary person.
But Copper, who had experienced the same thing as Chen Mu, could understand.
That matter was only a small interlude for Chen Mu and Copper.
It was just that the scene of the two of them fighting would come back to Chen Mu's mind from time to time.
As for that woman, since the favor had been returned, they didn't owe each other anything. That was the way they conducted themselves.
Don't be greedy, don't have any extravagant hopes, and live first. As for grudges, they would return them if they had the ability, and put them in their hearts if they didn't.
They didn't know that during that time, Aragon and Zuo Tingyi had already turned the school upside down, and still hadn't found the two of them.
Chen Mu and Copper were desperately making card plays.
That didn't just include Copper's ideals, but also Chen Mu's life.
