Reversing the Milky Way

When Fu Wenhao heard Yue Ling speak to him like that, his face turned ashen, as if he'd eaten shit. He stood there, frozen in place, his previous refined demeanor gone. Now he looked furious, his body trembling with rage at Yue Ling's words. He was unwilling to accept it; he couldn't believe the woman he had his eye on had been snatched away by a pretty boy. At this moment, some of the other students eating in the cafeteria began to whisper among themselves.

Student 1: "Isn't this Fu Wenhao? Is this the one who was officially rejected by Yue Ling?"

Student 2: "Hey, keep your voice down, don't let him hear us. His brother is a student in the advanced class, we can't afford to mess with him."

Student 3: "Hey, that kid next to Yue Ling looks like he's going to be in big trouble."

Fu Wenhao stared coldly at Bai Cheng beside him and said, "Pretty boy, do you know who my brother is? I advise you to leave Yue Ling's side, otherwise, when disaster strikes, it will be too late to regret it." His words were full of threat. If looks could kill, Bai Cheng would have been glared to death hundreds of times over.

Just as the students in the cafeteria were discussing this, a person was seen walking along, gently waving a folding fan in his hand.

"Hey, who is it? It's Fu Wenhao, the 'Girl's Love Potion'... What? You failed this time and she's not interested. So you're trying to scare her by bringing up your brother again?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Wenhao glared at Lü Liang, who had walked up to him, and said fiercely, "Lü Liang! This is none of your business, so don't interfere."

Hearing this, Lü Liang chuckled. He waved his folding fan and said with a slight smile, "Fu Wenhao, don't let your refined appearance fool you. Others may not know your true character, but do you think I don't? You think you're called a 'love charmer' for nothing? Don't you know how many girls you've ruined?"

Fu Wenhao was furious when he heard this, because Lü Liang's words hit the nail on the head. He often used dinner parties as an excuse to invite young girls to private rooms in upscale restaurants for drinks and meals, then drugged their drinks before engaging in intimate sexual activity.

He just didn't understand how Lü Liang knew. Anyway, no one else had any evidence, and as long as Lü Liang denied it, he would still be that refined scholar.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "I cultivate my virtue and character, and strictly abide by propriety, righteousness, integrity and a sense of shame. How could you say that I have been corrupting respectable families and causing such harm? Lü Liang, since you have no evidence, how can you slander me and make unfounded suspicions?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang burst into laughter. He then closed his folding fan, spread his hands, and said with a laugh, "Ha...ha...Although I, Lü Liang, am a playboy, I am open and honest in my conduct and never hide anything. Unlike some people who appear refined on the surface but are actually filthy and despicable inside."

After Lü Liang finished speaking, the discussions in the cafeteria grew louder, and Fu Wenhao's expression became increasingly grim. Bai Cheng couldn't help but admire Lü Liang in his heart after hearing his words, "I always thought Lü Liang was extremely carefree, but I didn't expect him to be so upright and incorruptible."

Upon seeing this, Fu Wenhao's face turned bright red: "Fine. Fine. Fine. You all just wait, hmph." After saying this, he turned and left without even eating, storming out of the school cafeteria.

At this moment, Lü Liang found a seat next to Bai Cheng and sat down. Dong Shaojie, sitting beside him, asked curiously, "Brother Lü Liang, how did you know Fu Wenhao was that kind of person?"

After hearing this, Lü Liang also recalled...

The Lü Family Escort Agency was renowned throughout Wuling Town. Every employee was a skilled fighter, including two at the early Qi Condensation Realm. The family head, Lü Shangyuan, was also at the early Qi Condensation Realm. Their daily income alone was dozens of silver coins, while his own daily allowance was only one silver coin—equivalent to a third of a Body Refinement Realm martial artist's monthly income. He rarely ate lunch at the school cafeteria; he knew every single one of the local upscale restaurants, down to the layout of every private room. Whenever a beautiful woman appeared, he would go and admire her.

Despite this, she frequently witnessed Fu Wenhao dining at restaurants with young girls, no less than ten times a month, and each time it was a different girl, all around fifteen or sixteen years old. Sometimes it was at noon, sometimes in the evening, which surprised her quite a bit. Fu Wenhao seemed so refined and cultured, yet he was secretly dining with different women in private rooms.

As for what happened inside the private room, he had no idea. However, he overheard a passing waiter mentioning that every time they cleaned Fu Wenhao's private room, there was always a man's smell that disgusted them. That's how he learned that this young man named Fu Wenhao, who appeared refined and cultured, was actually a beast in human clothing.

As for why he always succeeds, I guess he must have drugged me, so I gave him the nickname "Girl's Love Poison".

Back to the present...

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng exclaimed inwardly, "Damn, these young people in the cultivation world are really something else! They're just as good as those on Earth. They never repeat themselves. How many girls must they be messing with?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Yue Ling beside him, who was still focused on eating.

Sitting opposite him, Zhao Xiaoming stared wide-eyed in disbelief after hearing Lü Liang's description. He then exclaimed, "Wow! I thought the flower thief was invincible, but I never imagined someone could be even more valiant than him. This is terrifying!"

After listening to Lü Liang's description, Dong Shaojie suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Damn, this is simply a lewd beast in human form! Didn't any girls notice?"

After hearing this, Lü Liang immediately said, "You don't know this, do you? His father is an official in the Western Government Office. Even if a girl finds out, there's nothing he can do."

Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng responded, "Hmm? The Western Prefecture?"

“That’s right, the West Prefecture. Don’t underestimate Wuling Town just because it’s a small town. It’s not small at all. To manage the town, one prefecture is not enough. So, for the convenience of management, the entire Wuling Town is divided into four prefectures, east, west, south and north, by four main roads. Each area is managed separately by the respective prefecture, while the Supervisory Office manages all four prefectures. Fu Wenhao’s father is the prefect of the West Prefecture.”

Bai Cheng finally understood. So he had powerful backing. No wonder he was so fearless. Just then, Lü Liang spoke up again: "But Brother Bai Cheng, I have to remind you, Fu Wenhao has an older brother in the advanced class. You should be careful. His older brother has done a lot of bad things because of his father's influence."

Hearing this, Bai Cheng felt bitter. He had only been at the academy for one day, and it seemed that he had gotten into trouble again. It seemed that the path to becoming stronger was urgent. Without strength or background, he would be in trouble no matter where he went.

Yue Ling then put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said, "I knew long ago that this Fu Wenhao was no good. He waited for me at the school gate several times, insisting that I go to some restaurant to eat. But every time, my father came to pick me up. Even if he told my father that he was just having a meal with me, my father and I ignored him."

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang seemed to remember something and then asked Bai Cheng, "Hey? Speaking of the school gate, I remember that guy named Zhao Bo. He's also from your Yu Family Village, Brother Bai Cheng. What happened to you guys? I heard you said you were going to defeat him in a month. How's that going?"

After hearing this, Bai Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "Well... I've already resolved this matter. That Zhao Bo won't bother Ling'er anymore."

"Wow, Brother Bai Cheng, you won? Does that mean you're now in the mid-stage of Body Refinement?"

Upon hearing Lü Liang's words, Bai Cheng immediately replied, "Not at all, I was just lucky. Zhao Bo only relies on pills to enhance his cultivation level, so his physical foundation is indeed unstable. That's why I was able to take advantage of the situation and defeat him."

After hearing this, Lü Liang immediately exclaimed, "That's quite impressive! You know, when you fight across realms, just being able to withstand the attack is already quite remarkable; defeating the opponent is extremely difficult."

At this point, Dong Shaojie and Zhao Xiaoming across from them also expressed their admiration.

At this moment, Dong Shaojie also spoke up, saying, "Brother Bai Cheng, I was right beside you today and saw you practice the first level of the Body Refining Technique three times with ease. I knew then that your talent was extraordinary. No wonder you were able to defeat your opponent who was above your level."

When Bai Cheng talked about this, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, many people from the same village saw it, including many students from Renhui Academy. In addition to the people from Renhui Academy, the staff from the other two academies also saw it. It was impossible to hide it.

And so, the group sat together, chatting and eating lunch.

At that moment, several people from Renhui Academy were having dinner in a private room of a restaurant. Fu Qi was among them; he was Fu Wenhao's older brother.

At this moment, Fu Wenhao stormed in, and upon seeing his elder brother, he immediately switched gears, bursting into tears. His voice trembled with sobs, snot flying from his nose. Leaning against Fu Qiran, he began, "Brother, this noon I only went up to greet that new student named Bai Chengxin, but I was subjected to a tremendous insult. He verbally abused me, even hurling insults at me in front of the entire cafeteria. Especially that guy named Lü Liang, relying on his family's Lü Family Escort Agency, he insulted me even more. And that Yue Ling, everyone in the academy knows my father is the prefect of the Western Prefecture, everyone gives me face. I only went to invite Yue Ling to lunch, but this brat dared to embarrass me in public, making me lose all face. Brother, you must stand up for me!"

After saying that, Fu Wenhao knelt down and hugged Fu Qiran's leg, who was eating, and continued to cry bitterly.

After listening to his younger brother's words, Fu Qiran frowned and said, "Bai Cheng? Is he the one who just entered the academy today? I remember seeing this kid in the physical training class this morning. He has a solid foundation and looks like a promising talent."

After he finished speaking, a person sitting next to him said, "Bai Cheng? I heard there was a martial arts competition in Yu Family Village yesterday. It seems that a person named Zhao Bo, who was in the mid-stage of Body Refinement Realm, was fighting against this person named Bai Cheng. Guess what happened?"

After listening, Fu Qiran raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This martial artist named Bai Cheng, who is at the early stage of the Body Refinement Realm, actually won!" The speaker was Xue Qin, the second young master of the Xue family from Wuling Town.

Fu Qiran frowned slightly after hearing this. "I didn't expect this Bai Cheng to actually have some skills. With such talent, he could probably reach the mid-stage of the Body Refinement Realm in just three months."

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of him? But don't get too excited yet, there's more to come."

After saying that, Xue Qin leaned close to Fu Qiran's ear and whispered something. As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Qiran suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with horror, and then asked in surprise, "Is...is this true?"

Fu Qiran's action clearly startled Fu Wenhao, who was clinging to his leg. He stood up tremblingly and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Fu Qiran ignored his brother's words and instead asked Xue Qin beside him, "This Bai Cheng also has the surname Bai, and with this terrifying talent, could he possibly be a member of the Bai family?"

Xue Qin sat down slightly, took a sip of wine, and said, "As far as I know, this man named Bai Cheng appeared in Yu Family Village without warning more than a month ago. No one knows where he came from, only that he came to escape. If he is really a member of the Bai family, with his talent, he would be a top-notch figure even within the clan. How could they possibly drive him out? Besides, the Bai family has its own academy in Baifeng City. How could they come to a place like this?"

After hearing this, Fu Qiran asked in confusion, "Shh... if he's not from the Bai family, then is such high talent just a coincidence? Or is there some kind of secret about this person?"

Xue Qin immediately replied, "It's hard to say, but to be on the safe side, I'll write a letter to the master to find out the situation before making any plans. Anyway, he's already enrolled in Renhui Academy, so he can't escape."

After listening, Fu Qiran closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Then thank you very much for the information, Second Young Master Xue Qin. Please give my regards to the Eldest Young Master."

After speaking, Fu Qiran cupped his hands in a gesture of greeting.

After hearing this, Fu Wenhao was a little confused. He didn't know what news could frighten his elder brother so much. His father was the prefect of Xifu, yet his elder brother was so scared. Then he said to Fu Qiran, "Brother, are we just going to let this go?"

"Let it go? If we let it go, what will become of the Fu family's reputation? But now is not the time to make a move against that Bai Cheng. As for Lü Liang, his Lü Family Escort Agency is about to suffer a great misfortune, and he doesn't even realize it." After saying that, Fu Qiran raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

At this moment, Fu Wenhao continued, "And what about that girl Yueling!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiran turned to his younger brother and said, "Alright, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Once Young Master Xue has confirmed it, we'll take down Bai Cheng and Yue Ling together. But if I remember correctly, Yue Ling's father seems to be at the Great Perfection of Body Refinement Realm, right? With him picking up and dropping off Yue Ling every day, it might be difficult to manage."

After listening, Fu Wenhao continued, "Brother, you don't know this, but for more than a month now, whenever that person named Bai Cheng comes to pick up and drop off Yue Ling, her father has never come."

"Such a thing actually happened? If it's just Bai Cheng, then it'll be easy to handle. Once things are done and the deed is done, what chance does a martial artist at the Great Perfection of Body Refinement have of coming to Wuling Town to complain?"

After saying that, the Fu brothers burst into laughter in the private room of the restaurant.
