Chapter 200 All Men Are Brothers
As expected of the top university in Lianxin City, Tianxin Academy's students are decisive and efficient in their work, never dragging their feet.
Almost overnight, notices were posted all over the campus.
Each notice was a large, imposing piece, written in black on a red background, making it quite eye-catching.
Every student who saw the notice was drawn to its contents, standing in front of it to comment and discuss it, muttering to themselves.
"It's been a long time since we've had such explosive news. We need to tell our roommate right away!"
"Our academy has always maintained a strict academic atmosphere, and our students are all very cautious in their actions. How could such a shameless person appear?"
The trainees pointed at the notice, their faces filled with righteous indignation.
"Who is Helian Tieshu? I've never heard of him before."
A student who usually only knows how to bury himself in his studies appears ignorant and uninformed.
But it's alright, a well-informed person immediately cleared things up for him: "Don't you know? Of course, he's the only son of the Helian family!"
"So he comes from the Helian family. No wonder he is so unconventional."
The ignorant students humbly accepted the instruction.
"I've seen this Helian Tieshu a few times, but he's usually quite normal. I don't know why he would do something so shameless?"
One of the students sighed and interjected.
"Different strokes for different folks, I don't see anything wrong with it. In fact, I admire this person's courage."
Some trainees didn't take it seriously.
But someone immediately retorted, "That's because you're not that perverted! If you don't think it's a big deal, how about running naked tonight?"
"Forget it..."
The person who was refuted gave an awkward laugh and quickly blended into the crowd.
These discussions, condemnations, sarcasm, and ridicule could be heard everywhere in Tianxin Academy, lasting for days without ever ceasing.
The students' discussion put a lot of pressure on Helian Tieshu.
Under this pressure, he could only stay at home and spend his days in tears.
For days, Helian Tieshu had cried until his tears ran dry. The room was littered with wet tissues, and the floor was a mess.
What made Helian Tieshu particularly sad was that since the incident, none of his former playmates had come to visit him, which made him even more heartbroken.
"They're all ungrateful wretches! Why can't they comfort me?"
Helian Tieshu leaned weakly against the bed, his large eyes staring blankly ahead, empty and lifeless.
Just as he was feeling utterly dejected and muttering to himself, the door opened and a young man in his twenties entered.
The young man had a straight nose, a wide mouth, and piercing eyes, appearing very shrewd and capable. Especially judging from his powerful stride and the way he exuded an aura that was not overtly revealed, his cultivation was clearly profound.
"Cousin Tieshu, I just finished my seclusion and as soon as I came out, I heard rumors circulating that you have a habit of running around naked at night. Is it really true?"
Seeing that Helian Tieshu looked listless, the young man asked with concern.
"That's completely untrue! They're just spreading rumors! Cousin Feng, you have to stand up for me!"
For the first time in days, someone had shown him concern, and Helian Tieshu felt a surge of warmth. He struggled to get up and was about to throw himself into the young man's arms.
He was so wronged!
Unexpectedly, the young man flinched in fright, pointed at the wet tissues scattered on the floor, and frowned in confusion, saying, "But what happened? Can you explain this?"
Explanation? What's there to explain? This is covered in tears!
Helian Tieshu glanced at the young man's expression, then at his own body, which felt as weak as if it had been hollowed out a thousand times, and finally understood where the other party's suspicions came from.
"It's not like what you imagine at all!"
After realizing what had happened, Helian Tieshu let out a mournful cry, feeling as if the whole world had abandoned him.
"So what exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly, and your cousin will naturally seek justice for you!"
Seeing Helian Tieshu's heartbroken appearance, the young man instinctively felt that he wasn't lying to him.
"Here's what happened, it all started three months ago..."
Since the other party was his cousin, Helian Tieshu felt there was nothing to hide, so he recounted his entire thought process from beginning to end.
"Come on, I'll take you to him and have him clarify this matter!"
After listening to Helian Tieshu's tearful account, the young man grabbed his cousin and left without saying a word.
Xiao Chong was unaware that someone was looking for trouble with him, and he had been living a very comfortable life these past few days.
Although he orchestrated the alleyway nude incident, he didn't really take it to heart. He was more concerned with how to develop his relationship with Sheng Xueyan.
Through this period of contact, he discovered that he had actually fallen in love with the other person.
"I wonder what Xueyan is up to. Should I invite her to have a meal with me and maybe discuss some martial arts?"
"Of course, discussing martial arts is just a pretext; the main purpose is to explore life!"
"Yes, we must explore this in depth and detail..."
It was noon, and Xiao Chong had just finished his morning lessons. As he left the school, he secretly harbored some ulterior motives.
Just as he was deep in thought, two people suddenly blocked his way.
One of them was Helian Tieshu, the protagonist of the streaking incident, and the other was a young man whom he did not know.
However, there's no need to get to know them; those who associate with Helian Tieshu are naturally not going to be very friendly to him.
Sure enough, the young man blocked Xiao Chong's path, raising a slight brow and asking, "You're Xiao Chong?"
Xiao Chong didn't answer, but simply nodded slightly.
The young man continued, "I've come here today specifically to seek justice for my cousin Tieshu. I won't make things difficult for you; as long as you're willing to publicly clarify what happened that night, then we'll let it go."
"So you're relatives! In that case, there's nothing more to say. Do you think you'll let me off the hook if I clarify things? In the end, we'll still have to fight, won't we?"
Xiao Chong naturally didn't believe what the other party said, so he chuckled inwardly and said, "Enough nonsense, let's have a fight. If you win, then whatever you say goes. If you lose, don't bother me anymore, I have other things to do!"
The young man was a straightforward person. Upon hearing this, he didn't waste any words and said loudly, "Okay, let's do it your way!"
After speaking, he immediately assumed a fighting stance, and his martial arts aura rapidly increased, reaching its peak in just an instant.
"No wonder he dared to stand up for others, he's at the peak of Martial Master, and looks like he's just one step away from becoming a Grandmaster!"
Xiao Chong was startled and immediately became alert, his expression turning serious.
"My name is Hengfeng, please enlighten me!" The young man clasped his hands slightly, showing great composure.
"Hengfeng? Hengshan? Could it be related to Hengshan?"
Xiao Chong's mind raced, and he asked in confusion, "The Heng family of Tiannan?"
“That’s right, it’s the Heng family of Tiannan!” The young Heng Feng replied solemnly and was about to make a move.
"Who is Hengshan to you?" Xiao Chong asked abruptly.
"Hengshan is my elder brother. Do you know him?" Hengfeng stopped and asked.
“I have a past connection with Hengshan; we became acquainted in the Southern Wilderness,” Xiao Chong said with a smile. “I even saved his life.”
Hengfeng hesitated and said, "I've heard about this too, but I don't know much about it. Do you have any proof?"
Xiao Chong casually took out a sandbox and handed it over, saying with a smile, "This sandbox was given to me by Hengshan."
"Then there's no mistake, this sandbox does indeed belong to my elder brother."
Hengfeng took the sandbox, examined it carefully, and then returned it. His aura as a peak martial artist vanished instantly.
"So, are we still going to fight?" Xiao Chong asked with a smile.
"All men are brothers under heaven, so why fight?"
Hengfeng laughed loudly, "Brother Xiao, let's go, let's drink! We won't leave until we're drunk!"
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Chong away, completely forgetting that Helian Tieshu was still by his side.
"Cousin Feng! The matter hasn't been clarified yet!"
Seeing the two walking further and further away, Helian Tieshu let out a shout and chased after them.
