Chapter 15: Xiao Jishan

  After taking a numbered key from Xiao's servant who was guarding the door, Chen Huan slowly walked into the bathroom.

  After entering, turn over a screen and it is the dressing room. Rows of lockers stand in it. Chen Hua walked into the passageway between the two rows of cabinets according to the number on the key. In the passageway, there were several young men, some were taking off their clothes, and some had already walked out with their buttocks exposed.

  Watching the naked boys, Chen Hua felt a bit uncomfortable for the first time in the communal bathhouse. However, those boys seemed to be without any concerns, chatting and laughing as they walked past him.

  Chen Hao arrived in front of his locker.

  At this moment, several disciples of the same generation as Ji Zai also walked in loudly and laughed, seemingly not seeing Chen Huan. After reaching his side, they opened the wardrobe, took off their clothes, and after a while, they all stripped naked and walked out, never looking at Chen Huan from start to finish.

  Originally highly concentrated spirit, ready to fight a fierce battle Chen Huan slightly strange, these people are not going to teach themselves? Why did they just leave like that? Did they suddenly change their minds?

  Since they were all naked, Chen Huan also took off his clothes and locked them in the cabinet. However, he didn't strip completely, leaving a pair of shorts on, and followed them into the bathhouse.

  After passing through the dressing room, a huge pool appeared in front of Chen Huan. There were dozens of pipes around the pool that continuously poured hot water into it. Many young men lay on their backs along the edge of the pool, comfortably soaking in the hot water. The pool water emitted a medicinal herb smell. Around the large pool, there were small pools filled with clear water. Some young men scooped water from them with basins and poured it over themselves.

  But Chen Hao didn't have the mood to appreciate these, his spirit was all concentrated on those guys. Watching them one by one jump into the big pool, Chen Hao, wearing shorts, found an empty spot at the edge of the big pool and also jumped in.

  "Haha, little brother, first time here?" Just then, a boy lying next to Chen Huan with only his head exposed, who had a rough appearance, looked at Chen Huan wearing shorts and said with a smile.

  "Hmm." Chen Hao responded with a murmur.

  "We're all men, we've all got what it takes, what's there to be shy about? After a couple of times, you get used to it. Who wears shorts in the bath anyway? Haha..." The rough young man laughed loudly and said.

  Chen Haonan's handsome face suddenly turned bright red, and indeed the entire bathhouse had only him wearing shorts.

  "Want to learn from me? Except for your head, soak the rest of you in water, this water has been added with dozens of precious medicinal herbs, just soak for half an hour, no matter how tired you are from practicing, tomorrow you'll be jumping around energetically!" The rough and enthusiastic young man said.

  Chen Hao grunted in response, and imitating the rough and wild young man's mannerisms, he submerged his entire body into the water. The warm water instantly made Chen Hao feel very comfortable.

  "You're from a good family, what's your name?" the rough youth asked.

  "My name is Xiao Xianghao." Chen Huan said softly.

  "My name is Xiao Jishan. Where are you from?"

  Taiping Town

  For this enthusiastic and rough young man, Chen Hao didn't feel any malice, but at this time he wasn't in the mood to chat, and could only answer the rough young man's questions one by one. His energy was still focused on those guys across from the pool. Although they were far apart, and the whole bathhouse was noisy, their conversation could still be caught by Chen Hao.

  ……

  "Second brother, it doesn't seem right for us to take action here. We'll definitely be punished by the head teacher. It's better if we sneak out at night..."

  "Stupid! Following Ji Han for so long, has your brain turned into a fart? You should use your brain, do you know that? Beating him up would be letting him off too easy!"

  "What does second brother mean?"

  At this point, the guy called Second Brother had a sly and sinister smile on his face. He glanced at Chen Huan and beckoned to several people, who immediately huddled together with their heads together.

  Chen Hao slightly furrowed his brow. Although his hearing was much better than ordinary people, at such a far distance and in the noisy environment, it was not too possible to hear their whispers clearly. However, from the conversation just now, he understood that these guys didn't seem to be just going to beat him up so simply.

  "Haha, it feels a bit hot at first, but it gets comfortable quickly." Xiao Jishan saw Chen Hao frowning and thought he had suddenly entered the water completely, not adapting to the temperature of the water, so he said with a smile.

  "Oh, thank you, Master Jishan." Chen Hao said softly, his eyes secretly glancing in the direction of those people.

  A moment later, only to see that with the whisper of the second brother, those guys one by one showed sinister and excited smiles, their eyes shining brightly towards Chen Hao's direction.

  Chen Hao hastily averted his gaze, but his peripheral vision carefully observed their every move.

  After stopping for a while, two of them walked out of the pool and glanced at Chen Huan secretly. When they found that he was not paying attention to them, they went to the small pool on the side and washed their faces with a basin. After washing for a while, they looked at Chen Huan again secretly, then quietly walked along the edge of the bathhouse towards the dressing room.

  From their sneaky appearance, Chen Huan knew that they must be up to something shady towards him. But since he was here himself, what were they doing in the dressing room? The dressing room had nothing but his own clothes. Were they going to steal his own clothes?

  As he thought of this, Chen Huan was suddenly startled and hastily looked at his wrist. The key was still there, and he felt a slight sense of relief in his heart. If they had stolen his clothes, it would be terrible - without clothes to wear, he couldn't even leave the bathhouse. However, since the key was still on him, it seemed that they didn't dare to pry open the wardrobe. As soon as they opened the wardrobe, they would be discovered, and this would undoubtedly be considered theft. Chen Huan was very clear about the rules regarding theft - in the new student manual, it was written that theft was one of the rules of the Xiao family's disciple code. Those who stole would definitely receive severe punishment from the Xiao family, or even be expelled from the Xiao family.

  What will they do then?

  Chen Hao couldn't understand, but he could be certain that those two people going out must be to deal with him. Chen Hao's eyebrows furrowed again, a strong sense of unease appearing in his heart.

  After a while, the two of them swaggered back, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Chen Hao, and then smiled and returned to the group.

  "Second brother, it's all set! When that little brat wants to leave, we'll sneak out ahead of time, hehe... Leave the task of beating him up to me, I guarantee I'll beat him into a pig head that even his parents won't recognize, hahaha... We won't get in any trouble at all, second brother, you're really something!" One of them said excitedly on their way back, and in their excitement, their voice rose slightly, carrying into Chen Huan's ears. After the guy finished speaking, a group of people gave Chen Huan a sinister and gloating look, as if he was still clueless.

  "Why offend us of all people? You really don't know your own strength!"

  ……

  At this time, there were more and more people in the bathroom. Some young men of good fortune ran around naked, some jumped into the pool, others used a basin to splash water at the edge, laughing and making noise, coming and going, bustling with activity.

  Just then, Chen Huan suddenly let out a "ah" and exposed his head. He was lying down just fine, but suddenly lost his balance and fell into the pool. Apparently frightened, he slapped the water with both hands, creating a big splash. After slapping several times, he finally stood up, the water only reaching his chest. He looked quite disheveled.

  Hahaha...

  Chen Hao's appearance suddenly triggered a burst of laughter from the crowd.

  "Little brother, what's wrong?" asked Xiao Jishan, pulling Chen Hao to his side with a rough hand. His voice was naturally loud and boomed out.

  "I... I suddenly have a stomachache!" Chen Huan clutched his belly with both hands, his face contorted in pain. "Senior brother, where is the restroom? I... can't hold it in!"

  "Haha......" Xiao Jishan burst out laughing: "Over there, go quickly, you can't pull it into the pool...... After pulling, remember to wash your butt clean before coming back to soak, haha......"

  Xiao Jishan's words suddenly triggered a burst of laughter from the crowd.

  "Thanks, Big Brother!" Chen Hao was speechless for a moment, but he knew that Xiao Jishan was just joking with him. Rubbing his belly, he rushed out.

  When he came out of the pool, those unique and bright shorts instantly triggered another burst of laughter from the crowd.

  Those guys were staring at Chen Huan, but they didn't suspect him at all. In their opinion, everything they did was done secretly and quietly, how could a little kid possibly discover it? Moreover, they weren't worried that Chen Huan would escape either. Those bright and dazzling shorts were the only ones in the entire bathhouse, as soon as you took a glance, you'd be able to spot him.

  ……

  "Huh, little brother, where are your shorts? Haha... I know, you must have wet yourself and gone to poop... Hehe, you don't even have hair yet, but your thing is quite big, how old are you this year?"

  A few minutes later, when Chen Huan returned to the big water pool, Xiao Jishan glanced at Chen Huan's lower body and said with a smile.

  Chen Hao was greatly embarrassed, and he immediately covered his own ***, then slipped into the water with a splash, saying: "It's not like that, Shixiong. Others aren't wearing any, I'm not wearing any either, it's just not good to wear them. So, I took them off. I... am 12 years old already."

  For this easily shy and delicate-looking young brother, Xiao Jishan had a good impression. His eyes were clear and pure, simple and without any ulterior motives, more importantly, they also contained a kind of cleverness and persistence. This kind of person was the one that Xiao Jishan liked to befriend the most. Because he believed that this kind of person would inevitably become an excellent figure in the future, someone who could be relied upon by the Xiao family.

  Xiao Jishan, looking big, is actually only fifteen years old. He has a rough and heroic personality, second only to Xiao Jihan among the outer disciples of the Xiao family. He is a fifth-grade warrior who likes to help others, fight for justice, and has no airs about him, nor will he bully people. Of course, no one dares to bully him either, due to his own strength and identity.

  Xiao family's legitimate lineage, Xiao family head Xiao Ding's second brother Xiao Gang's son!

  Otherwise, such a genius would certainly become the object of Xiao Jihans trampling.

  The Xiang family's direct descendants were promoted to inner door disciples before the age of 20, and the rewards they received did not conflict with those of non-direct descendants. After all, although the Xiang family's direct descendants also had to be promoted step by step from outer door disciples, they could practice ordinary disciples' techniques that only inner door disciples were qualified to practice after being promoted. Therefore, at present, Xiang Jishan, who is closest to Xiang Jihans cultivation, has no impact on him at all. Moreover, it can almost be confirmed that Xiang Jihan will be promoted to inner door disciple before Xiang Jishan.

  ……

  "Second brother, Ji Shan seems to like that kid quite a bit, won't he mess up our good deed later?"

  "How could that be? If we just let him off like this, Jishan would definitely interfere, but now it's different, we have a reason, and a very sufficient one, even if the head teacher comes, he won't say anything, as long as you don't beat him to death. A thief, after all, is someone who should be punished by everyone!"
