Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 167.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Laosan, who had initially been somewhat dismissive, was taken aback. However, he quickly regained his composure, his face darkening as he retorted, "Hmph, stop lying to me! So what if you really become the dean? Our Zhou family has always done things our own way. It's not up to a little brat like you to tell us what to do!"

After remaining silent, Boss Zhou finally couldn't contain his anxiety any longer. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth, saying, "Young lady, please forgive my bluntness, but this is an internal matter of our Zhou family. I hope you will not interfere."

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the woman in front of him. What was even more strange was that, for some reason, Boss Zhou felt that a chilling murderous aura was emanating from the woman, as if he would be devoured by her if he was not careful.

This woman is definitely not simple! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but give his subordinates a wink, signaling them to be ready to deal with any unexpected situations at any time.

Li Yuejiao crossed her arms and narrowed her beautiful eyes: "The Zhou family's internal affairs? Hmph! Coming to my territory, to my hospital, and openly injuring someone, is that what you call your internal affairs? If you know what's good for you, get out of here today, and maybe I can let you off the hook; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Upon hearing this, Boss Zhou's face instantly turned ashen: "Young lady, your attitude is like refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Our Zhou family is a top-tier family in this area in terms of reputation and power, how dare you be so insolent?"

In an instant, the group of burly men who had been standing quietly behind Boss Zhou began to rub their hands together, eager to try their luck.

Seeing this, Li Yuejiao took a big step forward without changing her expression.

At the same time, her subordinates who had come with her followed without hesitation, and the distance between them quickly closed.

"Hey beautiful lady, you're kidding me! You bought a hospital? Hahahaha, that's hilarious! Be honest, let me pamper you properly~" Zhou Zhenglong said with a disdainful expression, while lecherously reaching out his big hand to hug Li Yuejiao's slender waist.

Just then, a sharp "crack" was heard! Everyone was startled by the sudden sound. Li Yuejiao reacted quickly, grabbing Zhou Zhenglong's outstretched hand and twisting it hard without hesitation.

"Aaaaaah—!" Zhou Zhenglong let out a bloodcurdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, which echoed throughout the room. He never expected that this seemingly weak and vulnerable little woman would possess such immense strength, causing him to cry and snot stream down his face in pain.

"Your Zhou family is far too arrogant!" Li Yuejiao's beautiful eyes widened, flashing with a cold, piercing light as she stared coldly at the arrogant and domineering group in front of her.

Seeing this, Boss Zhou inwardly cried out in alarm. He hadn't even seen when the woman made her move; her actions were far too fast! Seeing his nephew suffer a great loss, Boss Zhou rushed forward and desperately stopped Zhou Zhenglong, who was already enraged and ready to fight Li Yuejiao to the death.

"Fine! Very well! I'll remember this debt! We'll see!" Old Master Zhou roared in a fit of rage, then turned around and grabbed Zhou Zhenglong, Zhou Sha, and the others who were still trying to cause trouble, and hurriedly left the ward.

Before leaving, Zhou Sha spat viciously at Lin Yue on the hospital bed: "Pah! This bastard is lucky! He won't be so lucky next time!"

"You're asking for it!" Li Yue was so angry he immediately lost his temper.

Li Yuejiao quickly went to Li Yuetian's side to comfort him: "Don't be impulsive."

The Zhou family left in a sorry state. Yun Xiling looked at Lin Yue on the hospital bed with worry, and tears finally welled up in her eyes: "This is too much... What should we do next? They will definitely try to take my sister's heart again."

“They won’t let this go. Don’t worry, I’ll send more people over here, and we absolutely won’t let anyone into the ward!” Li Yuejiao said.

“We’re safe for now,” Li Yuejiao said to Lin Mu, who looked at her gratefully. “Thank you so much.”

"It's what I should do." Li Yuejiao thought of what happened that day and felt a pang of guilt.

...

In her dream, Lin Yue walked slowly along that long road with heavy steps. Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and she had forgotten how long she had been walking.

A deathly silence enveloped her, broken only by the monotonous yet distinct sound of her footsteps echoing through the air. The road seemed like an endless corridor; no matter how hard she tried to move forward, all she could see was that faint, yet unattainable, glimmer of light. Nothing else.

"So tired..." Lin Yue murmured to herself, her voice so soft she could barely hear it. Every step she took felt like it drained all her strength. She had never felt so exhausted before; her legs felt like they were weighed down by lead, and each time she lifted them, it took immense courage and willpower.

For some reason, perhaps because she was in a dream, she found that her physical strength was completely different from before. The energetic and nimble woman of the past was nowhere to be seen. Now, she could only walk a few steps before she was out of breath and had to stop, gasp for air, and then rest for a long time before she could continue.

She was really about to give up... Lin Yue's clothes were soaked with sweat. But even so, she gritted her teeth and dragged her body, which felt like it didn't belong to her, step by step, toward the mysterious light in front of her.

Just as Lin Yue was feeling incredibly exhausted and about to collapse, someone suddenly called out to her from behind.

"Lin Yue".

She turned around, and the Xingtian Armor was standing behind her.

Lin Yue was overjoyed to see the Xingtian Armor; she was finally seeing someone she knew.

"Great! You're here to take me out, right? The methods you taught me before were very useful. I'm already one with Kai!" Lin Yue said excitedly.

“You are very talented.” Xing Tian nodded slightly. “However, I’m sorry to say that this is our first meeting. I am not the Xing Tian you know.”

Only then did Lin Yue realize that the Xingtian Armor in front of her was not the form of the God of War Xingtian. She felt exhausted and sat down, panting heavily: "Then... who are you? What are you doing here?"

“I’ve been asked to come and encourage you,” Xing Tian said.

Lin Yue was somewhat disappointed by his words. She pointed ahead and said, "I don't need your encouragement. I just want to know how to get out of here!"

"I just want to tell you that you have to walk your own path!"

"You make it sound nice, but there's only one road, and I can't see the end. I've been walking for so long, and I'm so tired!" Lin Yue was very confused and disappointed, and she lowered her head dejectedly.

"Do you know why the Xingtian Armor is called the Xingtian Armor?" Xingtian in front of her did not answer her question.

"Is it because of the legend of Xing Tian wielding his axe and shield? I know this myth; even if you lose your head, you must still forge ahead?"

"Yes, you are very smart, Xing Tian, ​​which also means an indomitable hero!"

“I understand what you’re saying, but I…” Lin Yue lowered her head. She felt so tired and lonely.

"Lin Yue, you have great talent, but your mental maturity is still lacking. Perhaps that's why they asked me to help you! When you encounter difficulties, the only thing you shouldn't think about is giving up! You must solve the difficulties and face them. No one can help you with your own difficulties; you can only solve them through your own efforts. In other words, all difficulties will pass, but you must persevere until the day the problem is solved!"

"I'm sorry, I know you're right, but I don't know how much longer I can hold on, and I don't know if I can keep going!" As she walked, people would occasionally rush out from both sides of the road. Some of them were people she didn't know, but without exception, they all called her Chu Yu; there were also thugs she had encountered before and people who had tried to bully her.

She couldn't touch them, nor could she attack them! They were hurling insults, making lewd jokes, and humiliating her... She felt like she was on the verge of a mental breakdown!
