Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Making a Stink

The two women looked at each other, both brimming with hostility.

Previously, they had stood out for Shi Hao, ready to face powerful enemies, but now, because of Shi Hao, they seem ready to clash at any moment.

Shi Hao laughed heartily, quickly intervened, and started to smooth things over.

One was his wife, and the other a close female confidant who had shared hardships with him; a fight between them would certainly harm their relationship.

“Miss Xia, long time no see,” he said, inviting Xia Mengyin to his dwelling. Weng Nanqing naturally followed–her visit to Ling Tian Academy was partly to accompany Shi Hao, but there was another important reason, which was her distrust of Xia Mengyin.

One must know, this was the woman ranked third on the Beauty Ranking, and her martial arts talent was equally brilliant–not just a pretty face without substance, so she must not be taken lightly.

What if she plotted like Nan Qing and pretended the fake play with Shi Hao was real?

It’s important to be wary; after all, Shi Hao was so handsome, and his martial arts talent was demonic.

The two women began their war of words, leaving Shi Hao unable to get a word in. Fortunately, they didn’t seem intent on physically fighting, so Shi Hao stopped interfering and let them have at it.

He began planning his next move.

Wherever he went, battles were unavoidable.

There was no help for it; being too outstanding, he could never keep a low profile and would always incite jealousy.

If he was doomed to never be ordinary, then let there be battle.

The first person he needed to deal with was naturally Lin Chenkai.

However, Lin Chenkai was an Incense Flame participant, and Shi Hao certainly couldn’t beat him now, and if he asked Du Bian to intervene… that would inevitably drag both the Fist King Palace and Dao King Palace into the fray.

Moreover, if Du Bian could strike at Lin Chenkai, then the master of the Fist King Palace could certainly strike at him, which would result in mutual destruction.

Typically, in such matters of jealousy and rivalry, the “elders” wouldn’t intervene, leaving it to the younger generation to resolve on their own. Otherwise, trivial conflicts could lead to a full-blown war between two families or sects, throwing the entire world into chaos.

With that in mind, he could only bide his time, waiting for his cultivation to reach the level of the Supplementing Divine Temple, before he could trouble Lin Chenkai.

To endure for so long?

Shi Hao was not content with that, so he was thinking of ways to get back at him sooner.

“Kid, are you thinking about setting someone up?” the Purple Gold Rat appeared, perched on Shi Hao’s shoulder, and asked.

“What do you mean ‘set someone up’? You make it sound so unpleasant!” Shi Hao shook his head, “Someone has acted atrociously, and I’m thinking of teaching him a lesson. It’s what you call ‘acting on behalf of heaven’.”

“Hehe,” the Purple Gold Rat didn’t expose his pretense, but just gave two disdainful snorts, then enthusiastically suggested, “Do you want my help?”

“Aside from stealing things–hmm?” Shi Hao pondered, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

He laughed and said to the Purple Gold Rat, “You go and steal some underwear from the female students’ dorms at the academy, then plant them in Lin Chenkai’s dwelling, making sure to leave a trace.”

The Purple Gold Rat sneered, “Do you really think people will believe Lin Chenkai would do such a thing?”

Shi Hao shrugged, “It doesn’t matter whether others believe it or not, I’m just doing this to disgust that guy.”

Lin Chenkai had Liu Shen hit Han Dong, which was also to disgust Shi Hao, without necessarily affecting Shi Hao at all, so, Shi Hao was doing the same, just to disgust Lin Chenkai.

Moreover, if such incidents happened over and over again, Lin Chenkai might truly earn the reputation of a pervert.

“Go ahead,” said Shi Hao with a smile.

The Purple Gold Rat was incredibly keen on this kind of mischief and scurried off immediately.

Shi Hao continued to cultivate; merely disgusting Lin Chenkai didn’t warrant much of his effort.

At first, when the rumor spread that Lin Chenkai was a pervert who stole women’s underwear, no one believed it.

It was laughable, who did Lin Chenkai think he was? The most outstanding student of the Fist King Palace, a disciple from the Mysterious Frost Valley, with a boundless future, how could he possibly stoop to such deeds?

And even if Lin Chenkai were that kind of person, how could he possibly let himself be discovered?

However, a series of underwear theft incidents subsequently occurred, and the identity of the thief pointed directly to Lin Chenkai.

Once or twice could be explained as someone framing him, but what about ten or eight times, or even hundreds of times?

Who could be so formidable as to repeatedly frame Lin Chenkai?

This was a master who had ignited the Incense Flame, how could he possibly be framed over and over again?

Many people began to doubt, wondering if it was Lin Chenkai who was behind these acts?

When many mouths speak, the gold shines; Lin Chenkai’s reputation grew worse and worse and he was gradually despised by all the female students.

Moreover, the Purple Gold Rat took the liberty to steal several pairs of male students’ underwear and hid them in Lin Chenkai’s room.

When this news spread, not only did the female students find it disgusting, but it also made the male students feel insecure.

This guy was too perverted, targeting both men and women.

Shi Hao smiled, and after practicing in the academy for a few days, he prepared to descend into the Elemental Cave once again.

“Shi Hao, what are you doing here?” Just as he was stepping out of the Dao King Palace’s main gate, a voice sounded, filled with surprise.

Shi Hao looked over to see Du Bei.

He couldn’t help but smile and said, “Why can’t I be here?”

Du Bei was startled. This was Ling Tian Academy, not Heavenly Palace Academy; wasn’t it strange for Shi Hao to appear here?

“Wait here!” he said.

He immediately ran into the Dao King Palace and in just a short while, he emerged with someone else.

Du Haoming.

This was a member of the Du Family, a powerful practitioner of the Great Sacrificial Heaven.

“Uncle Seven, teach this kid a lesson for me!” Du Bei said, having been defeated by Shi Hao twice. Now that Shi Hao had the audacity to come to Ling Tian Academy, he naturally couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Upon seeing Shi Hao, Du Haoming had a strange look on his face.

Du Bian had explained to him first thing that Shi Hao was his junior brother and that upon seeing Shi Hao, he must show the utmost respect, as if seeing Du Bian himself.

Now, Du Bei actually wanted him to take action against Shi Hao?

Heh, even if you are the favorite descendant of the old ancestor, you still deserve severe punishment.

“Du Bei, hold your wild tongue!” Du Haoming instantly rebuked, “Shi Hao is also a disciple of our Dao King Palace, you all need to show mutual love and affection!”

There were some outsiders present, and Du Bian had warned him not to mention Shi Hao’s other identity in front of them. Therefore, he could only remind Du Bei in this manner.

Du Bei was dumbfounded. What was going on?

“Uncle Seven, how could this kid possibly be one of our Dao King Palace’s people? And if he is, doesn’t that make things even better?” he said; his family’s old ancestor was the master of the Dao King Palace, so as long as they didn’t kill someone, they could deal with Shi Hao however they pleased.

Who would dare to gossip then?

“Shut up!” Du Haoming shouted furiously, and immediately slapped Du Bei across the face.

Smack, Du Bei spun around from the hit, his face filled with confusion.

What was happening, why was Uncle Seven hitting him?
