Qin Feng looked angrily at the scene. He had originally wanted to confront that fat guy for bullying the old man and stealing his ancestral jade pendant. What a beast! The way he looked down on him and spat in his direction was simply too arrogant! Although he was a liberal arts student, he was still full of youthful vigor. If this were school, he would have already pinned that guy to the ground and beaten him up. That guy really deserved it; he was asking for a beating.
Qin Fu watched anxiously from the side. This bully was not someone to be trifled with; his disdain for officials would surely lead to big trouble.
Unexpectedly, as they were walking down the stairs, Li Ba spoke again. "The one standing over there just now is Qin Bai Lian! Instead of staying home with his stunning wife, he comes here to listen to lectures. He must have been kicked out again and can only eat outside. What a soft tomato! If it were me, I would definitely make his wife feel good."
His lewd laughter followed, and the few Soldiers around him joined in, as if it were all very amusing.
In a fit of rage, Qin Feng slammed his fist on the table, leaving several dents in it. His strength was truly impressive.
Afu looked on in surprise. The old master, who had always been of average build, had suddenly become so powerful. This table was made of solid wood; it was quite sturdy!
He could no longer hold back. That scoundrel not only bullied the weak but also humiliated him personally. He really wanted to beat him to death. That pig-like guy, covered in fat, dared to insult him? He probably wouldn't even need much effort to knock him down with one punch.
He left the table, intending to catch up with that guy and give him a good beating. Anger surged through him; he truly couldn't control himself anymore.
Afu, however, remained calm. He had seen too many such incidents; there were always people who humiliated the old master. Understanding Qin Feng's thoughts, he wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him back.
It wasn't that he was worried about Qin Feng beating up Li Ba, but rather that Li Ba might kill him. After all, he had several people with him; they were at a disadvantage in numbers! Moreover, Li Ba had powerful backing.
Qin Feng didn't know what was happening; after waking up, he felt even stronger. He dragged Qin Fu forward slowly, unable to swallow this anger.
This made Qin Fu panic as he was being dragged along the ground; it was quite a humiliating sight.
"Master, you must stay calm! You can't take them on; if they kill you, who will take care of Madam? Although she seems indifferent, she loves you deeply! You can't leave her all alone! Those Wang relatives will definitely humiliate her even more."
Qin Feng froze for a moment. It seemed he had forgotten about his beautiful wife at home who still needed his care. Although she appeared cold, she was his only Beautiful Lady!
Thinking this way calmed his heart down a bit, and the fiery anger gradually subsided.
The Wang relatives? From Afu's words, they looked down on him and regarded him merely as an outsider man married into their family.
They also looked down on his wife? But were they really like that just because of their familial ties?
He realized he needed to ask Afu more about those Wang relatives since he knew nothing about them.
Forget it; even if he beat them up badly, it wouldn't resolve his grievances. Let those pigs go!
Feeling Afu still tightly holding onto his waist made him uncomfortable; after all, he was still a man! He said, "Let go of me! I'm not going to settle scores with those scoundrels anymore. It's inappropriate for you to keep holding my waist."
Afu released his grip but looked at Qin Feng with confusion. After recovering from a serious illness, he had truly changed into a different person!
Once calm again, Qin Feng noticed that the gazes of those Scholars were no longer on the old man but rather on himself and Afu.
It seemed they had seen enough excitement; they couldn't focus on their studies anymore as they watched how the old man had been treated so poorly that his clothes were nearly torn off.
The Scholars began dispersing one by one; some even tossed a few coins into the wooden basin out of pity since all the money had been taken away.
Others sighed deeply with expressions of sympathy; perhaps they felt there had been too much injustice and chose not to concern themselves with the old man any longer.
However, Qin Feng walked over to the old man and saw him sitting there in despair, half-dressed and muttering to himself while trembling uncontrollably.
He felt genuine sympathy; these lower-class people suffered greatly—earning money wasn't easy for them—and they had to endure extortion from those Soldiers. It was truly pitiful.
Having several dozen taels of Silver, he decided to give him ten taels! That would be enough for him to live comfortably for quite some time.
Slowly approaching him as most of the Scholars had left and only a few remained nearby, he glanced at the dilapidated wooden basin which already had several holes in it. After being mishandled by those scoundrels, it was now broken in half—only half remained.
He took out ten taels of Silver, which felt quite heavy in his hand before tossing it into the basin as an act of charity towards the old man!
Squatting down, he picked up the old man's tattered long coat from the ground and draped it over him.
At first, he hadn't paid much attention to the old man's bare upper body but noticed when putting on the coat that there were significant muscles on his arms and even some abs on his stomach—this body was surprisingly strong!
Was this really an old man? How could he have such good physique? Yet looking at him now gave off an impression of weakness.
Upon closer inspection, Qin Feng saw that his face was rough with many wrinkles—he truly looked like an elderly person.
After thinking for a moment, perhaps he was just an ordinary performer who had traveled far and wide over many years and thus developed such muscle tone. What a hard life!
"Old man, take this money and go somewhere safer. There are too many bullies in Tokyo; it's not suitable for you to live here."
After saying this, he turned around intending to return to his table for a while longer.
At this moment, Zhang the Elder's eyes sparkled with vitality—he seemed spirited but did not let Qin Feng notice it.
No longer muttering to himself, strange laughter escaped from him as he slowly got up from the ground.
This surprised Qin Feng, causing even Qin Fu to look at Zhang the Elder with confusion.
Gone was the previous madness; instead of talking to himself now appeared a strange smile on his face that seemed somewhat eerie.
"Thank you for your generosity, Qin Sir! I will heed your advice and leave this place filled with bullies for somewhere more peaceful where I can spend my remaining years in tranquility."
"However, you have never called me 'old man'; you always referred to me as Zhang the Elder! After suffering from a serious illness, I have become less rigid—truly something worth celebrating! Good people will always receive good fortune while bad people will face retribution—it's all about karma!"
The ten taels of Silver were tucked into his pocket as he fastened his robe's buttons before slowly walking past them towards the stairs—he seemed like a different person altogether.
Feeling somewhat bewildered by this transformation in demeanor from the elder who now appeared wise rather than foolish made Qin Feng realize how arrogant he'd been before!
