Chapter 18: Apologize to her.
Fang Yu went home and took a bottle of self - made medicinal oil, applying it to the swollen area on Yu Yueyue's face.
Two minutes later, the swollen scar completely disappeared.
"Go home. Your mom is worried about you," Fang Yu said.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Fang Yu," Yu Yueyue said, touching her arm that no longer hurt and finally showing a smile.
Fang Yu stroked Yu Yueyue's head and said, "Tomorrow, I'll make that senior apologize to you."
"Ah?" Yu Yueyue looked up at Fang Yu.
"She pushed you, so of course she has to apologize," Fang Yu said.
"But..." Yu Yueyue hesitated. She didn't want Fang Yu to get into trouble because of her.
"There's no 'but'," Fang Yu said indifferently.
...
Back in the courtyard, Yu Yueyue managed to get away with the excuse that her classmates had dragged her out for a stroll, but she was still severely scolded by Wang Yan.
Fang Yu returned to the second floor and started thinking about the matter of demon beast inner elixirs.
He asked Ji Dongshan to help search for demon beast inner elixirs across Jiuzhou Country. No matter how many there were or how high the price was, he would buy them.
However, Fang Yu knew that relying solely on the Ji family was limited in power. Even if they could find demon beast inner elixirs, the quantity wouldn't be large enough to meet his needs.
So, he had to find more people to help.
At present, the Tang family could be one of those to help...
In the past, Fang Yu had also thought about asking secular families to help collect demon beast inner elixirs. But at that time, he could easily find high - level demon beasts and simply looked down on low - level demon beast inner elixirs, so he gave up that idea.
But in the past hundred years, due to their inability to adapt to the decline of spiritual energy, demon beasts had perished in large numbers. Not to mention high - level demon beasts, Fang Yu could barely find a few low - level ones.
One has to face reality. Even if they were low - level, swallowing a few more would have an effect similar to that of high - level inner elixirs.
"That guy has a big family and a great career now. I can ask him for help," Fang Yu suddenly thought of someone during his contemplation.
Fang Yu took out his phone and dialed a fixed - line number.
It was nearly fifteen seconds before someone answered the phone.
"Hello," came an old voice from the other side.
"Xiao Qin," Fang Yu said.
The old man on the other side was silent for a while and then said, "You finally called me."
Fang Yu smiled and said, "You know, I'm not very good at socializing."
"Then you must have something to ask me, right?" the old man said.
"I want you to help me collect demon beast inner elixirs. The more, the better," Fang Yu said.
"Demon beast inner elixirs? I have a lot at home," the old man said.
Fang Yu was delighted and said, "Give them all to me. And continue to help me collect them by the way."
"I'll ask my granddaughter to send them to you. I'm just about to send her to Jiangnan for an inspection and study recently."
"If possible, take care of her," the old man paused and then said.
"No problem. Which granddaughter is it? I remember I attended the first - birthday banquet of one of your granddaughters," Fang Yu said.
"That's the one. She's twenty - five years old now. It's been twenty - four years since we last met," the old man said with emotion.
"If you want to meet, you can come to me anytime," Fang Yu said.
"I'm over eighty years old and can't move around anymore. If we want to meet, you have to come to see me," the old man coughed twice and said.
"All right. Before you die, I'll definitely meet you again," Fang Yu said with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing you again," the old man said and then hung up the phone.
After making the call, Fang Yu walked to the window, looking at the night sky outside with deep eyes.
In a study of a large courtyard in Yancheng, an old man with white hair and beard also put down the phone.
"Twenty - four years already..." the old man murmured to himself.
Then, he picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
"Ask Yimo to come to the study to see me."
...
In the morning, Fang Yu came to the classroom.
Tang Xiaorou came especially early today. As soon as Fang Yu sat down, she said excitedly, "Fang Yu, I took the medicinal herbs you gave me back home yesterday. My dad was very happy and said he must thank you. He invited you to have dinner at our house tonight. Are you... free?"
Tang Xiaorou looked at Fang Yu cautiously.
"Sure, I love crashing dinners," Fang Yu said.
He had already planned to visit the Tang family and ask Tang Mingde to help him collect demon beast inner elixirs. This was just the right opportunity.
Seeing that Fang Yu agreed, Tang Xiaorou was very happy, smiling brightly.
Fang Yu, at this moment, was staring at the seat in the front row.
Jiang Yue hadn't come yet.
Fang Yu couldn't wait any longer and went out directly to wait for her at the school gate. Tang Xiaorou, not knowing what was going on, followed him.
Many students were entering the school in the morning. Three minutes later, Jiang Yue and her deskmate, Xu Xiaona, walked over, chatting and laughing.
Fang Yu immediately walked up to them.
Tang Xiaorou, who followed, looked at Fang Yu in confusion.
"Jiang Yue, I want to talk to you alone," Fang Yu said.
When Jiang Yue saw Fang Yu, her face immediately fell, and she said to Xu Xiaona beside her, "What bad luck. I see this toad early in the morning."
Fang Yu remained expressionless and said, "Alone!"
Seeing Fang Yu's commanding manner, Jiang Yue was filled with anger and shrieked, "You say alone and I have to be alone? What the hell do I have to talk to you about!?"
Her voice was so sharp that it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students.
Tang Xiaorou was completely at a loss, not knowing why Fang Yu suddenly went to cause trouble for Jiang Yue.
"Say it here then," Fang Yu smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said, "During the rehearsal yesterday, did you push a girl from the first year of senior high?"
Jiang Yue's face changed, and she shrieked, "None of your business! You, a freeloader, want to stand up for others?"
"So you did it?" Fang Yu asked.
"So what if I did!?" Jiang Yue stuck out her chest, looking provocative.
She knew that Fang Yu was quite strong. After all, He Donglin and Hu Tao were still in the hospital. But she was sure that with so many people watching and being a girl herself, Fang Yu definitely wouldn't dare to touch her.
However, if Fang Yu really dared to do it, she wouldn't let Fang Yu off easily. She would make a big deal out of it and surely get Fang Yu expelled!
If Fang Yu made several moves within a week, even Tang Xiaorou couldn't protect him!
Jiang Yue was very aggressive, glaring at Fang Yu and walking towards him.
"Dare you stand up for others? Huh? With so many people watching, why don't you hit me..."
"Slap!"
A crisp slapping sound echoed in the classroom.
Jiang Yue was sent staggering by Fang Yu's slap and almost fell to the ground.
Fang Yu hardly used any strength in this slap. He didn't want to knock Jiang Yue unconscious because he still needed her to apologize to Yu Yueyue later.
"You dare to hit me!?" Jiang Yue covered her cheek and glared at Fang Yu with venomous eyes.
"Everyone should have heard that you asked me to do it," Fang Yu said, looking at the silent crowd around.
No one dared to speak.
Xu Xiaona beside her glared at Fang Yu and said, "Fang Yu! Everyone saw you hit Yueyue! I'm going to call the counselor right now. Let's see who can protect you this time!"
After that, Xu Xiaona quickly left the classroom.
Jiang Yue seemed to have a good relationship with her classmates usually. Soon, several passing girls surrounded her.
"Fang Yu, you're really going too far. You even hit a girl. Do you really think no one can deal with you?"
"If the school doesn't deal with you this time, we'll go directly to the school board!"
"Yueyue, don't be afraid. We'll stand by your side..."
Fang Yu took a step forward and said, "Get out of the way."
The expressions of the several girls changed, and they said, "What do you want to do?"
"I said get out of the way," Fang Yu said coldly.
Meeting Fang Yu's eyes, the several girls trembled inwardly and quickly scattered.
This guy was crazy. They didn't want to get slapped like Jiang Yue.
"Come with me to Class 1, Senior One and apologize to the girl from yesterday," Fang Yu said.
Jiang Yue covered her face and shrieked, "Apologize? Now it's you who should apologize to me! Fang Yu, you wait! When the counselor comes, I'll make you regret it!"
"If you don't go and apologize, I'll make you regret it right now," Fang Yu said, reaching out and grabbing Jiang Yue's arm.
"You, what do you want to do!?" Jiang Yue's face turned pale. As soon as she finished speaking, she let out a scream.
Fang Yu lifted her up.
The intense pain in her arm made Jiang Yue scream continuously. The more she struggled, the more painful it became.
"I'll ask you one last time. Will you apologize?" Fang Yu said indifferently.
Seeing Fang Yu's nonchalant expression, a chill rose in the hearts of those around.
Even Tang Xiaorou thought Fang Yu looked a bit scary at this moment.
"I'll apologize! I'll apologize! Let me go," Jiang Yue shrieked.
Fang Yu put her down.
"Go downstairs with me right now," Fang Yu said.
Jiang Yue touched her head and looked at Fang Yu, filled with hatred.
But she didn't want to suffer anymore. At least before the counselor came, she had to do as Fang Yu asked.
So, Jiang Yue followed Fang Yu to the first year of senior high.
Some students from their class who saw this on the way back told their classmates. The news quickly spread in the class, and everyone followed downstairs to see what Fang Yu was going to make Jiang Yue do.
Fang Yu brought Jiang Yue to Class 1, Senior One and called Yu Yueyue out.
"Yueyue, was it her who pushed you last night?" Fang Yu asked.
Yu Yueyue looked at Jiang Yue, whose eyes were vicious and expression ferocious, and nodded timidly.
"She will apologize to you now," Fang Yu said, looking at Jiang Yue.
No matter how reluctant she was, Jiang Yue had no other choice at this moment.
"Why hasn't Xiaona brought the counselor here yet!"
"Hurry up," Fang Yu urged.
"Sorry," Jiang Yue gritted her teeth and squeezed out these three words.
"It's, it's okay, Brother Fang Yu. You guys can go back," Yu Yueyue said in a low voice.
"No, it's not sincere enough," Fang Yu said.
Jiang Yue was extremely resentful and almost couldn't help but curse.
But thinking of the pain just now, she held back.
When the counselor came later, Fang Yu would pay the price. She just needed to endure for now.
"Sorry," Jiang Yue said again, this time with a slightly softer tone.
"Still not sincere enough. Bow to her," Fang Yu said.
"You!" Jiang Yue glared at Fang Yu, trembling with anger.
Fang Yu remained expressionless, looking straight at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue forced herself to suppress the resentment in her heart, took a deep breath, bowed to Yu Yueyue, and said again, "Sorry."
