# Chapter 473: I Have a Narrow-Minded Friend (Bonus Chapter)
Zhao Dezhu was also shocked inside. He had watched Xiao Zhen grow up!
Throughout his three years at the academy, Xiao Zhen was number one in everything he did!
His strength far exceeded that of his classmates, and his ability was even more ferocious!
As dazzling as a blazing sun!
But he never expected that as soon as he returned, Jiangnan would suppress him. The two were a whole major rank apart!
Jiangnan, are you a supernova or what?
Zhao Dezhu roared angrily: "Xiao Zhen! Who gave you the right to lay a hand on Xiong Er?"
"He's the newest recruit of the academy, crucial to the development of the spirit beast taming field! Jiangnan specially brought him back, and you wanted to kill him?"
Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, eyes red: "Spirit beasts deserve to die! I don't care about any development plan! Whenever I see a spirit beast, I'll kill it, every single one!"
Zhao Dezhu squinted: "Do you know what you're saying? This matter concerns the progress of an entire era! Have you just been eating the responsibilities on a pioneer's shoulders?"
Xiao Zhen's eyes darkened, unwilling: "I don't agree! The progress of the era can be driven from other directions... Spirit beasts are just..."
Zhao Dezhu glared: "Say that again?"
"I'm canceling your reward for this Unrivaled mission to repair the lawn! Canceling your pioneer reserve team qualification!"
"If you lay a hand on Xiong Er again, get out of Pioneer Academy!"
With that, he tossed Xiao Zhen aside!
Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, full of unwillingness, staring intently at Jiangnan: "I'll see how long you can protect him. Next time, you won't be so lucky!"
Then Xiao Zhen turned and left!
Jiangnan was stunned: "Hey! No way? That's it? What about corporal punishment?"
"Uncle Zhu, you're too embarrassed to do it yourself, right? Let me handle it! I'm ruthless!"
Zhao Dezhu rolled his eyes: "You already knocked his teeth out and beat his face swollen. Let it go! Do me a favor! Take the loss!"
"Xiao Zhen, this kid... Sigh, he just can't move on..."
Zhao Dezhu patted Jiangnan on the shoulder and left!
Jiangnan: ???
That's it?
I finally had the upper hand for once!
Take the loss? When have I ever taken a loss?
It's always been me taking advantage while others suffer!
Jiangnan pouted, very unhappy!
No way! I'm not satisfied!
I have to get back at him!
That kid clearly has an expression like he didn't do anything wrong!
At this moment, a hundred mature ideas were already brewing in Jiangnan's little head!
Zhong Yingxue and the others gathered around to comfort him.
"Xiao Nan, don't be angry~ We're all fine now!"
"That's right, that's right! Smile! You were so cool just now, hehe! Does your hand still hurt?"
"My South Bro is awesome! Haha! Tough enough!"
"Lan De is good, Lan De is great! Lan De really knows how to fight! Want some sunflower seeds?"
Jiangnan reached out and rubbed Xiong Er's head, full of affection!
Then he turned and said loudly: "Xiong Er is under my protection! Whoever bullies him again, try it! If you're not convinced, come find me!"
The new and old students all swallowed their saliva. Who would dare not be convinced?
Even Xiao Zhen, who had been promoted to Platinum One, was suppressed by Jiangnan? Going head-to-head! Truly fierce!
Facts prove it! Nan Shen is still Nan Shen!
At this moment, the small table beauty walked over, tilted her head, and smiled: "Junior, need treatment for your injuries?"
Jiangnan: (๑°口°)~ Ah this...
This... Heaven-defying! When she looks down, she definitely can't see her own toes!
She must have sore shoulders and back all day and can't run fast!
Oh my goodness!
Nightingale! Learn from her!
"Treat! Treat! Treat!"
At this moment, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were on full alert!
Danger!
The small table beauty smiled softly and grabbed Jiangnan's hands!
"Return to Spring!"
Tiny green lights bloomed, and his bloodied fists recovered bit by bit!
Jiangnan was extremely surprised. She was a rare wood element recovery type!
The small table beauty said as she healed: "First, I'll apologize to you on behalf of Xiao Zhen. There's a reason!"
"Xiao Zhen's parents and older sister were killed by spirit beasts during the Spirit Calamity. His whole family was reduced to just him. So his attitude toward spirit beasts is rather extreme..."
Jiangnan frowned, hoarse: "So he thinks all spirit beasts are bad? That they all deserve to die?"
"The world is unfair. At least he had parents. He knows who his parents are..."
The small table beauty's heart trembled violently as she stared blankly at Jiangnan!
Zhong Yingxue's beautiful eyes dimmed as she gently tugged at Jiangnan's clothes!
"Separate matters. Letting bad things from yesterday affect today is the stupidest thing to do!"
"This apology, I want Xiao Zhen to say it to Xiong Er himself!"
The small table beauty stared at Jiangnan for a long time, then smiled brightly: "Junior, you have a strong heart! You're very good!"
Jiangnan wiped his nose, looking shy!
"Sister, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure!"
Jiangnan said sheepishly: "Actually... I have a friend who wants to ask you why your heart is so broad. What's the secret?"
"She's narrow-minded and wants to make her heart broad too!"
Xia Yao: "Pfft~ Hmm!!!"
[From Mo Tian's Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Mo Tian...]
Her face darkened. What the heck is a "broad heart"!
She gave Jiangnan a fierce glare!
"Junior, can I assume you're making up a friend that doesn't exist?"
Jiangnan quickly shook his head: "No, no, no! I really have a narrow-minded friend! Her name is Nightingale..."
Mo Tian was stunned, then chuckled secretly!
"Really want to know?"
Jiangnan nodded repeatedly. Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao pretended not to care, but they were actually eavesdropping intently!
"Giggle~ That's my secret. I'm not telling you!"
With that, she put down Jiangnan's hands. The wounds on his fists had fully healed!
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue looked disappointed, while Jiangnan was already considering finding the right opportunity to feed Mo Tian a bottle of Deadly Green Club and then extract her secret!
After all, exploring secrets was what he did best!
At this moment, Xiong Er was frozen stiff, not daring to move, looking at Jiangnan for help!
A Gothic lolita had somehow sneaked over!
She pounced on Xiong Er, rubbing her little face against his round belly, looking completely satisfied!
An Xiaoqi: |)⁼̴̤̆ヮ⁼̴̤̆ૢ)
"Ah~ It's a bear! A cute bear!"
Xiong Er: (๑◔㉨◔ิ๑)
"Lan De! What does she want to do? Does she want some sunflower seeds?"
Jiangnan: ...
Before An Xiaoqi could rub enough, Mo Tian grabbed her!
"Let's go, Xiaoqi. We have reports to write!"
An Xiaoqi kept patting Xiong Er with her hand: "Are you free tonight? Want to go for a walk, chat, watch some cartoons?"
Xiong Er looked confused!
Jiangnan elbowed Wu Liang: "Look at Xiong Er! Then look at yourself! Both are bears, and you're not in a hurry at all!"
[From Wu Liang's Resentment Value +666!]
...
The news that Jiangnan had gone head-to-head with Xiao Zhen spread like wildfire, instantly exploding the forum!
"Godly show! I was there at the scene! Xiao Zhen's face was swollen!"
"Jiangnan is too strong, right? Even Xiao Zhen couldn't take him?"
"Stopped by Uncle Zhu. Who knows what would have happened if it went on?"
"Xiao Zhen isn't that weak! His nickname 'One Touch Death' isn't for nothing! It only looked like Jiangnan had the upper hand! Once he touches you, you're done!"
"I still think Xiao Zhen is stronger!"
At this moment, the forum was in heated debate over who was stronger between Jiangnan and Xiao Zhen, with each side holding their ground!
Jiangnan scrolled through the forum helplessly!
If Xiao Zhen really wasn't strong, Jiangnan wouldn't have been hurt!
That battle was pretty much a draw. Xiao Zhen could really fight!
But Jiangnan still had a bunch of tricks up his sleeve!
If it came down to it, he was still a little stronger than Xiao Zhen!
Goose hahaha!
Jiangnan wasn't on the forum to watch these people argue!
He raised his hand and posted a thread!
Title: Tonight at eight! In front of the boys' dormitory! Nan Shen's stall officially opens!
Brand new packages! Brand new experience!
Tonight! Bound to be sleepless!
Not long after the post went up, comments appeared below.
"What's going on? Not going to the girls' dormitory anymore?"
"Horrified! They're not enough for you anymore? You're not even letting the boys' dorm go?"
"What kind of packages? Curious!"
"No way! Come set up over here! Senior misses your heaven package!"
"Right, right! I'm so eager my gums itch!"
Jiangnan shuddered. They miss me that much?
