Chapter 72: Chapter 71: Hacker

Mingjing University, Sword Dojo.

When An Hu entered through the main gate, he encountered many junior brothers and sisters practicing swordsmanship.

They all looked surprised to see An Hu. Although each of them appeared respectful, they couldn’t hide the curiosity in their eyes.

Obviously, the news about him being severely injured by Gao Xuan had spread.

There were too many witnesses, and the impact was significant. Such things can’t be kept secret.

An Hu was very annoyed but couldn’t show it. After all, no one was being disrespectful.

An Hu kept a cold face and didn’t respond to the greetings of the junior brothers and sisters. He strode over to Jiang Xuejun, who was practicing swordsmanship.

Today, Jiang Xuejun had changed her hairstyle, unbraiding her dreadlocks and tying them into a casual bun. The change in hairstyle made her look less wild and more feminine.

The rebellion in her brows was also reduced; her gaze more determined and composed.

After being publicly defeated by Gao Xuan last time, Jiang Xuejun had changed significantly. Her spirit and demeanor had transformed. She no longer had the impulsiveness and flamboyance she once did, clearly showing much progress.

An Hu was slightly surprised that Jiang Xuejun had come out of failure so quickly and even made progress! That’s really difficult.

He deeply felt the failure! A group of people was relentlessly beaten by Gao Xuan. That battle not only severely injured his body but also left a huge shadow on his mind.

In close combat, Gao Xuan demonstrated absolute dominance. Every time An Hu recalled it, he felt despair.

This despair made An Hu very panicky and angry. He couldn’t allow a peer to be so strong, strong to the point where he couldn’t resist, strong enough to overshadow him.

Regardless of the grievances between them, just for this reason alone, An Hu couldn’t allow Gao Xuan to live.

The reactions of the many junior brothers and sisters in the Sword Dojo just now further solidified An Hu’s thoughts.

Two tigers cannot coexist on one mountain. As long as he is around, he cannot tolerate Gao Xuan’s existence.

An Hu had been searching for Gao Xuan for several days but couldn’t find a trace of him. In a fit of anger, he smashed the place where Gao Xuan lived.

An Hu also knew it was Xu Yin’s home. But he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he didn’t care about Xu Yin anymore.

Why did Xu Yin have to harbor Gao Xuan?

He even wished Xu Yin would come to confront him. At worst, he would compensate Xu Yin financially. He intended to ask Xu Yin why she sheltered Gao Xuan and where she hid him.

An Hu wasn’t very clear about the specifics of the An Family and the Wei Family, but he knew his family was in a fierce competition with the Wei Family’s faction.

The Xu Family is an ally of the Wei Family, so he doesn’t need to be too polite to the Xu Family.

Unfortunately, Xu Yin did not react at all. Even after An Hu smashed Xu Yin’s home, he was too embarrassed to trouble Xu Yin again.

An Hu came to the Sword Dojo to find Jiang Xuejun. The Jiang Family also had good relations with the Wei Family, and Jiang Xuejun was Wei Zhenzhen’s close friend and had a close relationship with Xu Yin.

Even if others didn’t know where Gao Xuan was, Jiang Xuejun certainly did.

To An Hu’s surprise, Jiang Xuejun acted as if she didn’t see him and continued to practice swordsmanship.

An Hu watched for two minutes; although Jiang Xuejun’s movements were smooth and graceful, pleasing to the eye, he was really not in the mood.

He said, "Xuejun, let’s talk."

"Oh, if you have something to say, just say it."

Jiang Xuejun spoke while not stopping her practice.

An Hu was a bit helpless. He meant to have a private conversation with Jiang Xuejun; after all, it was the main hall, and there were too many people around.

He also believed that Jiang Xuejun understood his intention, but she clearly didn’t want to cooperate.

An Hu could only look at the surrounding students practicing swordsmanship. None of them were fools. Sensing An Hu’s unfriendly gaze, they obediently took their swords and slipped away.

Soon, everyone was gone, leaving only An Hu and Jiang Xuejun in the vast swordsmanship hall.

Jiang Xuejun performed a sword-receiving move, gently exhaled, and then sheathed her sword.

She calmly said to An Hu, "Senior, what exactly do you want to say?"

An Hu smiled, "Xuejun, you’re so smart, do I need to say it outright?"

Jiang Xuejun shook her head, "I’m not interested in playing charades. If the senior doesn’t speak, I’m leaving."

"Xuejun, I’ll be straightforward. Do you know where Gao Xuan is?"

An Hu looked directly at Jiang Xuejun, his face full of murderous intent.

Jiang Xuejun thought for a moment, "Senior, there’s no need for this. After all, Gao Xuan is our junior. You should be the bigger person and let him go."

"Haha, this matter has nothing to do with you. It’s a private grudge between Gao Xuan and me now."

An Hu said grimly, "It’s either me or him now."

Jiang Xuejun was also quite surprised at how extreme and violent An Hu was. An Hu had always been tolerant and generous with people, enjoying high prestige in the Sword Dojo.

After not seeing him for a few days, An Hu seemed like a different person. His ferocious appearance made even Jiang Xuejun a little scared.

So this is An Hu’s true nature of a jackal! Truly, all men are ruthless beasts.

The extraordinarily handsome Gao Xuan is cunning and ruthless, and An Hu is also vicious and cruel. Not a single good one among them.

With this thought, Jiang Xuejun lost interest in dealing with An Hu. She said, "I know where Gao Xuan is, but I can’t tell you. Sorry."

An Hu watched Jiang Xuejun head to the locker room, his eyes flashing with malice, yet he ultimately held back his temper.

When Jiang Xuejun changed clothes and came out again, An Hu was no longer there.

She didn’t care too much; even if An Hu went mad, he wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

Jiang Xuejun drove back home. She originally didn’t want to get involved in this matter. She had given Gao Xuan two genetic potions, settling their grievances. Neither side owed the other anymore.

An Hu, even if he killed Gao Xuan, it had nothing to do with her.

However, there was still Wei Zhenzhen and Xu Yin involved.

Jiang Xuejun felt that, at least for the sake of these two, she should give Gao Xuan a heads-up.

After hesitating for a while, she finally decided to contact Gao Xuan proactively.

"What, already missing me?"

On the screen, Gao Xuan appeared with a mischievous smile, his tone flippant.

Facing this face, Jiang Xuejun couldn’t get angry; it was too handsome and charming, with expressive expressions. Even with his eyes closed, he had a dynamic and life-like presence.

Jiang Xuejun was momentarily dazed before saying crossly, "Only a ghost would miss you. Can you stop being so narcissistic?"

"Alright, you didn’t miss me. Not even a little."

Gao Xuan waved magnanimously, "You are such a self-respecting and loving girl; how could you miss me!"

Jiang Xuejun was so angry that she wanted to close the communication. How could he be so slick with words?

She said with a stern face, "I’m just giving you a heads-up; An Hu is looking for you everywhere. He even came to school today to ask me about your whereabouts."

"Thank you for your kind reminder."

"Why does your tone sound so perfunctory, with no sincerity in your gratitude at all?"

Jiang Xuejun didn’t like Gao Xuan’s attitude at all. She was well-intentioned; what did he mean by this?

"Naive girl, I want to tell you that your call is likely being monitored by a hacker."

Gao Xuan said, "The other party is using you to lock in on my location. I really don’t know how to thank you for your reminder."

Jiang Xuejun was a bit stunned, "How’s that possible? I have Level 7 clearance; who could monitor me!"

The higher a citizen’s level, the more privileges they enjoy.

The children of the top power elites are born as Level 5 citizens. This level is extremely difficult for ordinary people to achieve even after a lifetime of effort.

Jiang Xuejun’s Level 7 citizen clearance receives special protection on the Celestial Net. Not being monitored is a basic benefit of Level 7 clearance.

"Haha, you’re right."

Gao Xuan didn’t want to explain to Jiang Xuejun, so he closed the communication and flipped out of bed.

Wei Zhenzhen was still clinging to Gao Xuan, "Brother, where are you going?"

Gao Xuan patted Wei Zhenzhen’s hand away, "Just stay here. This doesn’t require your involvement."

Gao Xuan went to the adjacent room, where Yun Qingshang was sitting cross-legged on a mat, meditating.

During this time, she had been meditating, adjusting to the sudden surge in power within her body.

For her, the power had surged twice in just two months, and the progress was dramatically fast.

Gao Xuan understood; Yun Qingshang was, after all, just an eighteen-year-old girl, unlike him, who had a century of experience and could master any power. She still needed time to adapt and integrate.

"Get ready; we’ll have guests tonight for sure."

Gao Xuan patted Yun Qingshang’s shoulder, "Time to test the results of your cultivation!"
