Chapter 6: Jin Youji's Endless Revenge

  The next day, Zhang Chengyuan went to school as usual. As soon as he arrived at the school gate, he saw Jin Youji standing on the rooftop of the teaching building, staring at him with a fierce expression, his hands grasping in the air as if wanting to grab him to death, and also baring his teeth while taking out a thin wooden stick and snapping it in two.

  Zhang Chengyuan sneered at Kim Yoo-ki's ridiculous behavior, slightly bowed to the Dean of Studies who was standing at the school gate checking students' discipline, and then, instead of leaving immediately, stood there looking in Kim Yoo-ki's direction for a while before slowly walking into the school.

  His unusual behavior immediately caught the attention of the Dean of Studies, and following Zhang Chengyuan's line of sight, Jin Youji's familiar figure appeared in his eyes. The Dean of Studies immediately held up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Jin Youji, you again, get down here to see me right now."

  In Korea, many schools strictly prohibit students from going to the top floor of the teaching building. Firstly, they are afraid that students will hide upstairs to smoke and drink, or fight; secondly, they want to avoid some students who cannot withstand the cruel study competition pressure running to the rooftop to commit suicide. However, for many delinquent students, the rooftop is their territory, it is the only place in school where they can escape from the hateful learning atmosphere, so no matter how much the school warns them, there will always be students sneaking up. Kim You-ki is a frequent visitor to the rooftop!

  For students who dare to challenge the school's dignity, the Dean of Studies will not let them go, and Jin Youji is still the number one person on his list of bad students in the school.

  Jin Youji glared at Zhang Chengyuan with a scowl, and obediently ran down from the top floor under the gaze of the Dean of Studies. Meanwhile, Zhang Chengyuan had already walked into the classroom, took out his textbook and began to study seriously, not like other male classmates who ran to the window, watching Jin Youji being reprimanded by the Dean of Studies with relish.

  South Korea is a country deeply influenced by ancient Chinese Confucian culture, emphasizing etiquette and respect for authority. Teachers, especially university professors, are highly respected by the public, with a status far above most other professions. Even Kim Yu-gi, the top student in the ninth grade, can only obediently accept punishment from the frail director of studies, like a kindergarten child, without daring to resist, and at most will mutter a few curses behind his back.

  After school, Zhang Chengyuan gathered his books and prepared to go to work at the fried chicken shop. As soon as he walked out of the classroom door, he saw Jin Youji leading a group of seven or eight followers blocking the corridor in front of the teaching building. Every student who passed by looked at them with a mixture of fear and curiosity, wondering which poor guy would be targeted by Jin Youji today.

  Zhang Chengyuan's footsteps slowed slightly, and he let out a cold snort before continuing on his way. Jin Youji stroked his chin with his hand, pretending to be calm and collected, and said in a haughty tone: "Zhang Chengyuan, you little scamp ran very fast yesterday, I wonder where you're running off to today?" Suddenly, his expression changed, and he bellowed: "Speak up, who was it that ambushed me yesterday?" From start to finish, Jin Youji never suspected that Zhang Chengyuan had knocked them out the day before, and instead believed that someone else must have been the one who attacked them.

  Zhang Chengyuan looked at Jin Youji in surprise, his heart shocked: "This Jin Youji is indeed a big white idiot that everyone looks down on! Arguing with him is purely a waste of words. Since that's the case, today I'll give him a lesson." He raised his head and glanced at Jin Youji, just about to make a move, when he suddenly felt a tall and thin figure quickly running towards them. Immediately, he lowered his head and pretended to be weak.

  This tall and slender person is the director of education, who has absolute authority among students in this school. This morning, he had just severely punished Kim Yoo-ki.

  At this time, he walked forward and shouted loudly: "Jin Youji, it's you again! How dare you bully your classmates openly in school? It seems that my usual 'care' for you is not enough!"

  Jin Youji saw the Dean of Studies and his body had already turned soft, stuttering: "Teacher, you're wrong, how dare I? I just wanted to get closer to Zhang Chengyuan, younger brother. Chengyuan, younger brother, isn't that right?" While speaking, he turned sideways and stared at Zhang Chengyuan with his eyes.

  Zhang Chengyuan also didn't want the Dean of Studies to intervene in this matter, so he slightly nodded and said: "Yes."

  The Dean of Studies looked at Zhang Chengyuan for a few moments, seeing that his face was calm as water, and couldn't help but feel very puzzled: "Could it be that I really made a mistake?" He then turned to look at Jin Youji, clearly seeing the smug expression on his face, and felt even more suspicious. However, since Zhang Chengyuan didn't report him, he had no reason to take action against Jin Youji either. So, he coldly stared at Jin Youji for two seconds and said: "Jin Youji, I hope you won't cause any more trouble in school. If you don't want to study, then go home early after school and help your parents with their work. Also, I will be paying attention to this matter today, and I hope that tomorrow I won't see any harm come to this student."

  Under the intervention of the Dean of Studies, a small storm that was about to break out temporarily subsided.

  He spent another few quiet days. Before he knew it, the weekend had arrived, and Zhang Chengyuan spent about an hour completing his homework, then practiced his spiritual cultivation technique again. Seeing that he had nothing to do, he thought of finding a part-time job again. These days, as his cultivation gradually improved, he found that his appetite was also increasing, and the money he earned was starting to be insufficient for his expenses, so he had to make other plans. Alas! Who let this be an era of spiritual energy scarcity? To improve one's cultivation, one could only extract essence from food.

  In the streets of Guro-gu, Jang Sung-won walked briskly, his sharp eyes scanning around like an eagle, searching for recruitment information. However, Korea's economy was not doing well at the moment, and after walking for a long time, he couldn't find any suitable job information. Unbeknownst to him, he had already walked from Guro-gu into the more bustling Yeongdeungpo-gu.

  After walking for a while, when turning around a corner, I suddenly saw twenty or so young men in black clothes walking towards me from the front with great enthusiasm. They were all tall and sturdy, and upon closer inspection, one of them was surprisingly Jin Youji, who had repeatedly tried to cause trouble for Zhang Chengyuan. At this time, Jin Youji's hair was combed shiny and bright, his bangs curled up, revealing his entire forehead, and at first glance, he looked quite like a Hong Kong movie triad boss.

  Kim Yoo-ki was in a particularly good mood today, as he had just beaten up the boss of a school in Yongdeungpo District that morning, leaving him battered and bruised, and even made him swear never to enter the Guro District again. After his victory, Kim Yoo-ki couldn't help but feel even more arrogant, swaggering down the street with his many underlings, causing passersby to curse him silently in their hearts.

  Kim Yoo-ki, who was blowing his own trumpet, didn't notice Zhang Chengyuan walking towards him at first, but a few of his younger brothers who had met Zhang before reminded him. Just as the two groups were about to pass each other by, Kim Yoo-ki noticed Zhang Chengyuan and suddenly became like a raging bull, his eyes turned red with anger, he let out a loud roar and charged towards Zhang Chengyuan, stretching out his right hand to grab Zhang's collar.

  Zhang Chengyuan listened to the sound and judged the position, waiting for Jin Youji's hand to grab him at that moment, suddenly slid sideways one step, not only dodged Jin Youji's rude attack but also made Jin Youji almost fall down. Fortunately, Jin Youji had rich fighting experience and quick reflexes, and before falling to the ground, he supported his body with his left hand on the ground and kicked back with his right leg, guarding against someone taking advantage of him. Unfortunately, Zhang Chengyuan didn't move at all at this time and didn't care about him, making this originally beautiful posture look very ridiculous.

  Jin Youji stood up straight, lowered his head to brush off the dust on his hands, and incidentally covered up the awkward expression on his face. He turned around, his face twisted in anger, and said: "Zhang Chengyuan, you can't escape, no one can save you today, so just let me beat you up obediently."

  Jang Sung-won said lightly, "Let's find a quiet place, I'm annoyed." Kim Yu-ki's entanglement made Jang Sung-won extremely annoyed, and he had long wanted to get rid of him with one breath.
