Cultivation Pet Shop-Chapter 851 Bullies (1)

The crowd quickly dispersed after this incident.

There were some that stayed to check out Lin Fan's store, but many of them still left because they didn't dare be rash. They didn't know the full power behind Lin Fan's store yet and they still had their doubts about trusting this service, so they wanted to see a few more examples before taking this bait.

But of course, most of them were going back to report to their elders since it was clear that Lin Fan wasn't a simple person.

They would get the elders of their families to come and see this store first to see if they could figure out anything.

Jun Xie also silently left with his Arctic Lynx, but the way that he looked at the Arctic Lynx had completely changed.

Once the crowd was gone, Lin Fan didn't bother staying at the counter and left tending to the customers to Xiao Tu. He had already accomplished his goal today, so all that was left was to harvest the seeds that he had sown.

Of course, it would take several days before that happened, so all he could do was wait.

Xiao Tu on the other hand could only reveal a bitter smile because he had been left with all the work.

…

In a quiet room, there was a neatly dressed man sitting there.

When the subordinate that had just come into the room handed him a report and he read it over, he couldn't help jumping out of his chair and saying in a serious voice, "Is this true?"

The subordinate lowered his head and gave a strong nod.

The neatly dressed man sat down again and stroked his chin for a while before saying, "I have to report this to the young miss…"

That neatly dressed man was naturally Dongfang Ming.

He couldn't just keep going to Lin Fan's store for no reason since that would be considered overstepping his bounds, so he had posted someone to watch over Lin Fan's store for him, which was who this subordinate was.

The report that the subordinate had just handed to him was a report on Jun Xie's Arctic Lynx.

He and the young miss had only thought that Lin Fan wanted to open this pet store to have a place to lay low and have some fun, but he never thought that the situation would be like this. He and the young miss had completely underestimated Lin Fan and he couldn't help wondering what other surprises Lin Fan would give him…

As well as that wife of his and her friend…He couldn't help getting a strange feeling from them when he had met them before…

But he also had to admire the young miss for her intuition and her intelligence. If it wasn't for her, they wouldn't have even been able to make this connection with Lin Fan in the first place.

He couldn't help looking forward to seeing what other surprises Lin Fan would give him.

…

Jun Xie headed off to school after going to the store since today was still a school day.

Of course, since he went to the Royal Academy that was the best school in the capital, it was a place that was different from normal schools. Instead of having classes, most of the time the students were allowed to engage in free studies since most of them came from special families. Most of them had their own special inherited techniques, so the only thing that they really needed from the school were resources.

Well, it wasn't just resources, but also fame.

Since it was recognized as the best academy in the city, the students were also regarded as the best.

As well, all the people here were successors of big families, so it allowed the students to make many future connections.

When Jun Xie arrived at the school, the first place that he headed to was the practice field.

He wanted to personally practice with Xiao Han to see how much stronger he had become. Not to mention, they would need to work on their coordination now that Xiao Han was stronger.

But when he arrived, he found that there were people already there.

If it was some other normal students, he would have been fine with them, but it was different for this group. That was because this group was a group of people that he recognized.

While there weren't any classes, students of the same year were still put in groups to help them interact with each other. This group was a group from his year group, but they were the furthest thing from friends.

In fact, they were actually Jun Xie's bullies.

The leader of this group was the son of Count Chen, Chen Ru.

As a noble, he had naturally been raised with the pride of a noble, but he was only a middle class noble. After all, the count didn't have a high position nor did he have a low position, he was just an average noble.

That meant that he looked down on those that were beneath him, but since there were many things that he had to consider as a noble, he couldn't bully anyone that was actually in his grade. That was until he encountered Jun Xie who was not a noble, but rather the son of a rich merchant's family.

This kind of person was the perfect target for him since there were very few consequences on picking on someone like this.

His merchant family relied on nobles to do their business, so no matter what he did to him, he would have to take it since he couldn't risk falling out with the nobles. So Chen Ru used him as an outlet to satisfy his vanity and make himself seem greater than he really was.

When Jun Xie had planned on leaving the practice field after seeing them, Chen Ru noticed Jun Xie and stopped him from leaving.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Ru and his group surrounded Jun Xie to stop him from leaving. After surrounding him, Chen Ru put a hand around Jun Xie's shoulder and said, "Where are you going buddy? We haven't seen you in a few days, we almost thought that you were running away from us."

Jun Xie revealed an uncomfortable look, but he still sucked it up and said in a stuttering voice, "I, I had some family business to take care of. I would, would never try to avoid you." 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

Chen Ru looked at him with a smile and said, "Is that so?"

Jun Xie just gave an awkward nod.

Then that smile disappeared from Chen Ru's face as he said, "Then why did you try to leave just now?"

Jun Xie revealed a look of panic when he heard this as he knew that something bad was going to happen. But he forced himself to remain calm as he said, "I just remembered some other business that I had to take care of, that's all."

Chen Ru nodded before asking with the same expressionless look, "Is that so? You just had some other business to take care of?"

Jun Xie gave a gulp and was about to nod, but then Chen Ru suddenly slapped the back of his head and said, "What could be more important than hanging out with your friends?" He looked around at his followers and asked, "Isn't that right?"

All of his followers were sons of minor nobles, so everything that they did was to make Chen Ru happy. But at the same time, these nobles had the same personality as Chen Ru, so they enjoyed bullying Jun Xie in the first place.

Not to mention that they often extorted money from Jun Xie since they were from small noble families that didn't have much money in the first place.

So all of the followers nodded in agreement to Chen Ru's words.

Even though the people around them had ugly expressions from Chen Ru's words, they didn't do anything. It wasn't as if they were afraid of Chen Ru, but rather there was no merit for them to help Jun Xie.

These nobles were mainly here at school to build relationships with other nobles and people that could help them in the future. A weakling like Jun Xie who allowed himself to be bullied by others like this naturally wasn't someone that they wanted to associate with.

Chen Ru turned back to Jun Xie and said, "Come, let's go and have a practice match. After that, you can pay your fee for practicing with me."

This was the normal routine between them.

He would "graciously" offer to practice with Jun Xie and then afterwards, he would charge a "fee" for helping him practice.

Of course, this was nothing more than a cover for beating up Jun Xie and then extorting money from him.

But Jun Xie had already been conditioned to accept this after being beaten many times. So he just nodded and followed Chen Ru into the practice arena.

Chen Ru stood in front of Jun Xie with a wide smile on his face as he said, "Xiao Jun, let's do it like this. I'll even stand still and give you a free hit, or else people will really think that I'm bullying you."

Jun Xie just gave a blank nod since that was how it went normally.

That was because while Chen Ru was an awful person, he was still a talented person as a middle class noble. He was someone that had already reached the Peak Fragmented Soul Realm and had Peak Fragmented Soul Realm pets.

With a wave of his hand, Jun Xie called out the Arctic Lynx before suddenly realizing that something was off.

When the Arctic Lynx appeared, Chen Ru couldn't help revealing a surprised look as he said, "Yi? You got a new pet?"
