Qi Tongwei is reborn, and he changes his fate by striking the bell

Chapter 142 No injustice or hatred

"Stop pretending to be stupid! Who the hell are you to call me 'Brother Zhao'?"

Zhang Hao was not angry, he just smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhao, you and I have no grudges, why are you so hostile to me? Is it because... I saved Miss Li?"

Zhao Hu's face suddenly became even uglier when he heard this. He snorted coldly and said nothing, but the jealous fire flashing in his eyes revealed his true thoughts.

Zhang Hao understood what was happening. It seemed that Zhao Hu was indeed interested in Li Xueruo. Unfortunately, Li Xueruo had no feelings for him at all. No wonder he was targeting him like that. He probably thought of him as a love rival.

"Brother Zhao, I know what you are thinking." Zhang Hao suddenly approached Zhao Hu and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I have no improper thoughts about Miss Li. I came here this time just to..."

Having said that, he paused deliberately, his eyes swept over the disciples behind Zhao Hu who were ready to make a move, and a cunning arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Just for...?" Zhao Hu asked subconsciously, completely unaware of Zhang Hao's little movements.

"Just for..." Zhang Hao deliberately stretched out his voice, then suddenly raised his voice and pointed behind Zhao Hu and shouted, "Be careful!"

Zhao Hu and others were stunned when they heard this, and then they turned their heads to look subconsciously.

At this moment, Zhang Hao made a move! With lightning speed, he slashed Zhao Hu's neck with a knife. Zhao Hu felt his eyes go dark, and then he fell down limply.

"You...what are you doing?!" Seeing this, the disciples were immediately horrified. They drew their weapons and pointed at Zhang Hao with angry eyes.

Zhang Hao sneered and clapped his hands, as if he had done something insignificant.

"I'm just... helping you clean up the mess."

Zhang Hao's movements were as fast as lightning. Before the disciples could even react, Zhao Hu had already fallen to the ground.

"You... you actually dared to hit Senior Brother Zhao!" A disciple pointed at Zhang Hao's nose and said in a trembling voice, but the sword in his hand was shaking even more violently, and it was obvious that he was only outwardly powerful but actually weak.

Zhang Hao sneered and looked around, his eyes sharp as a knife: "Zhao Hu has evil intentions and slandered Miss Li's innocence. I am just doing justice for the heavens. What, you want to do the same as him?"

"You..." Those disciples were frightened by his sharp eyes and retreated one after another. They looked at each other but dared not step forward.

"What a bunch of rubbish!" Li Xueruo was secretly disappointed when she saw this, but she also understood that these people were just Zhao Hu's lackeys and were not to be feared at all. She put away her sword, walked to Zhang Hao, and whispered, "Mr. Zhang, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhang Hao smiled faintly and patted the dust off his body, as if he had just done something insignificant.

"Mr. Zhang, why...why are you doing this?" Li Xueruo was a little confused. Although Zhao Hu's words were frivolous, she believed that she could solve it without Zhang Hao's help.

Zhang Hao turned to look at her, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through her thoughts: "Why, are you heartbroken?"

"I..." Li Xueruo blushed and quickly avoided his gaze, saying unhappily, "Who feels sorry for him? I just think... you'll get into trouble by doing this."

"Trouble?" Zhang Hao raised his lips with a playful smile, "I'm not afraid of trouble the most."

He walked up to Zhao Hu, looked down at him, and said coldly: "Brother Zhao, I haven't finished what I just said. In addition to saving Miss Li, I came here for another thing..."

As he spoke, he bent down and whispered a few words in Zhao Hu's ear.

Zhao Hu's face suddenly changed, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.

"You...you..." He pointed at Zhang Hao, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Why, Brother Zhao, you don't want to?" Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.

"I... I do! I do!" Zhao Hu nodded quickly, fearing that if he was a step late, he would be killed.

"Very good." Zhang Hao patted his face with satisfaction, stood up, and said to the stunned disciples, "From today on, Zhao Hu is the gatekeeper disciple of Duanyun Peak. Anyone who dares to bully him will be against me. Do you understand?"

"Understand... Understood!" Although those disciples did not understand what happened, seeing Zhao Hu's frightened look, they dared not say a word and nodded in agreement.

"Very good." Zhang Hao nodded, turned around and walked to Li Xueruo, and said with a smile, "Miss Li, you should be relieved now, right?"

Li Xueruo looked at the man who played Zhao Hu and others in the palm of his hand while chatting and laughing, and she couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart. This man who looked like a weak scholar actually had such a strong aura and means. Who was he?

Li Xueruo's heartbeat was a little chaotic. She thought Zhang Hao was just a weak scholar, but she didn't expect him to be so hidden. He was ruthless and decisive, but he was also elegant and calm, as if everything was under his control. This strong contrast made her curious about Zhang Hao.

"Master Zhang, you are joking," Li Xueruo calmed herself down and tried to appear calm, "I'm just worried that you've angered Zhao Hu and he'll cause trouble for you."

"He dares!" Zhang Hao snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Since I dare to touch him, I am not afraid of his revenge."

"You..." Li Xueruo wanted to say something but was interrupted by Zhang Hao.

"Miss Li, I know what you are worried about," Zhang Hao walked up to her and looked at her with burning eyes, "Don't worry, since I promised to help you, I will definitely do what I said. I will take care of Zhao Hu's matter."

Li Xueruo felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at her, and lowered her head quickly, not daring to look him in the eye. She thought to herself, "Why does Mr. Zhang always look at me like this? Could it be..." When she thought of this, her cheeks turned red again.

"Miss Li, it's getting late. Let me take you home." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Hao thought she was still worried, so he offered to take her home.

"This... okay." Li Xueruo hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

The two walked side by side on the mountain road, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on them, stretching their shadows long. Along the way, Li Xueruo lowered her head and remained silent, while Zhang Hao would glance at her from time to time with a playful smile on his lips.

"Miss Li," Zhang Hao suddenly asked, "Do you believe that time travel exists in this world?"

Li Xueruo was startled by his sudden question. She looked up and looked at him blankly: "Traveling through time and space? What is that?"

Zhang Hao smiled and did not answer her question directly, but asked back: "Then do you believe that there are gods in this world?"

"God?" Li Xueruo was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't believe it."

"Then do you believe that there are martial arts in this world?" Zhang Hao asked again.

"Martial arts?" Li Xueruo did not hesitate this time and nodded immediately, "I believe that our Duanyun Peak is famous for its martial arts."

"Since you believe that there are martial arts in this world, why don't you believe in time travel?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile, "Maybe, I am a person who traveled from another time and space?"

Li Xueruo was stunned by his words. It took her a while to come back to her senses, but she didn't know what to say. She looked at the man in front of her, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and her heart was full of doubts and curiosity.

"You...are you serious?" Li Xueruo asked tentatively.

Zhang Hao didn't answer, but just smiled meaningfully, and then continued to walk forward. Li Xueruo saw this and hurriedly followed him, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

Could it be that he really came from another world?

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a shout: "Big Sister! Big Sister! It's bad! Something happened!"

Li Xueruo's face changed and she turned around quickly, only to see a disciple from Duanyun Peak running towards them in panic.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Xueruo asked anxiously.

"Senior Sister, please go and take a look! Zhao Hu he...he..." The disciple was out of breath and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"What's wrong with him?" Li Xueruo had a bad feeling in her heart.

"He... he's dead!" the disciple finally said, his face as pale as paper.

"What?!" Li Xueruo was suddenly struck by lightning and her mind went blank.

Zhang Hao saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Explain it clearly!"

The disciple then noticed Zhang Hao and was stunned for a moment. Then he pointed at Zhang Hao and said tremblingly, "It's... it's him! He killed Senior Brother Zhao!"

Zhang Hao grabbed the disciple by the collar, lifted him up like a chicken, and asked sternly, "Tell me! What happened? How did Zhao Hu die? Did you see it with your own eyes?" The disciple was frightened out of his wits by Zhang Hao's sudden action. His face turned pale and he said tremblingly, "I... I didn't see it with my own eyes... It was... it was Senior Brother Wang... Senior Brother Wang found Senior Brother Zhao... Senior Brother Zhao... he... fell in a pool of blood..."

"Senior Brother Wang? Which Senior Brother Wang?" Zhang Hao frowned. This plot development was a bit unexpected. Why did he feel like he had fallen into a murder trap?

"Yes...it's Senior Brother Wang Qiang..." the disciple answered tremblingly.

Zhang Hao threw the disciple to the ground and said to Li Xueruo, "It seems that things are not that simple. We have to go and take a look."

Li Xueruo was also very upset at the moment. Although Zhao Hu had offended her many times, they were still fellow disciples after all. Now that he had died tragically, she was also very sad and uneasy. Hearing Zhang Hao's words, she nodded slightly, and the two followed the disciple to the scene of the incident.

The incident took place in a secluded forest on the back mountain of Duanyun Peak, where few people usually come.
