Returning from the Immortal World
chapter-55

As Tang Xiu had expected, his desk was surrounded by other students after class. They were expressing their gratitude as well as were curious about how Tang Xiu had such a big strength. Some others also asked about the specific details of the car accident a year ago.

With big efforts, Tang Xiu spent quite some time to send them away before this group of enthusiastic and curious students left.

“Tang Xiu, do you think Ouyang Haifeng’s gang will come to find us and get revenge on campus?” Cheng Yannan who sat in front suddenly turned around and asked softly when nobody was around Tang Xiu’s desk.

“After having gone through today’s incident, I think both the police and the school will increase the security. That gang is unlikely to incite trouble at school.” Tang Xiu thought for second and replied with a serious expression.

Tang Xiu couldn’t help but be stunned as he scrutinized Cheng Yannan’s expression that was worlds apart with her usual response.

But Tang Xiu quickly figured it out. Cheng Yannan might have usually been carefree, but she was after all was only a girl, an under 18 year old girl.

She had just gone through a sudden kidnapping by a murderer and almost lost her life. Had it been for others, they could have lost half of their soul.

When Tang Xiu thought about it, he subconsciously looked at Yuan Chuling, who shared the table with him. He was also different than his usual self and was awfully quiet. He was also uncommunicative when the cops wrote the record, and his complexion now was even deathly pale as he was also in a dazed state.

“Fatty, are you alright?” Tang Xiu pushed Yuan Chuling as he asked him with a concerned expression.

“I-I… I-I’m fine…” Abruptly woken up by Tang Xiu, Yuan Chuling’s body quivered as he looked around with a blank expression. Realizing he was sitting in the classroom, he hurriedly shook his head.

“Eldest Brother, tell me something. Is it this hard to see someone die? Once a man dies, is it true that his soul is really gone?” Yuan Chuling asked irrelevant questions.

“Haih, I don’t know that. Eh, why don’t you jump from the window and try it yourself?” Tang Xiu leaned his head and thought for a moment, and then he suggested with an extremely serious expression.

“You… Go to hell, f*ck you!” Yuan Chuling obviously had yet to recover from his frightened state. He was in a daze for a long time and only came to his senses after Tang Xiu teased him, as he then punched Tang Xiu over.

“Hell no, will I explore such a deep philosophical problems? Therefore, I’ll just give that honorable task to you. It’s better for you, really.” Tang Xiu stopped Yuan Chuling’s fist as he smiled and made fun of him.

“Eldest Brother, I used to think that I was very powerful. I have both good strength and courage. And I used to believe that I’d be a great hero someday. But when that damned gangster used Cheng Yannan to block my desk and I had no way to stop or change its direction, I felt that I was really useless.”
