He knew that Hao Jian could have killed him with that strike just now, but Hao Jian had chosen not to do so. Lei Yuzhe understood that Hao Jian had held back with that slap. Otherwise, his face would be more than just swollen now. "Blood Paradise is a paradise for fighters, not a marketplace for the Lei Family. You'd better understand that you're able to make money here because I allow it, but that doesn't mean you can treat Blood Paradise as your own property. Today I spare your life out of respect for my acquaintance with Old Man Lei, but if it happens again, not even the Heavenly King will save you, understand?" Hao Jian darkly challenged. Lei Yuzhe hurriedly nodded, his heart full of mixed emotions. He could empathize with Hao Jian's anger, for if it had been his own brother harmed without reason, he guessed he would have been just as furious. "Now, you can scram!" Hao Jian said ungraciously. Lei Yuzhe didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction, nodded to Hao Jian, and left toward the not-too-distant exit. Only then did Hao Jian turn back to look at Li He, whose face lit up with excitement upon seeing the strange mask. "Are you sure you want to follow me?" Hao Jian asked Li He. "Mmm!" Li He nodded confidently. He had never been so eager to seek acknowledgement from someone. Hao Jian was the only person for whom he was willing to put everything else aside and follow unquestioningly! "Alright, from today on, you're my brother. Change clothes and leave this place. You've passed the trial!" Hao Jian said with a smile. The mere fact that Li He faced a monster like Kuang Dasi without fear was enough for Hao Jian to accept him!

Brother Spice Ginger quickly followed Hao Jian's steps, while Zhao Yating and Che Xiaoxiao in the stands saw this and hurried after them. Eager to uncover Hao Jian's true identity, they couldn't wait any longer. Just as they were about to leave Blood Paradise, Che Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and said to Zhao Yating, "You go ahead and intercept him. I'll come over in a while." "Where are you going?" Zhao Yating asked, puzzled. "Me? I've got some things to take care of." Che Xiaoxiao answered casually and then turned to head backstage. Backstage, Li He excitedly shed his fighting attire and, anxious, put on his own clothes, preparing to look for Hao Jian. As Li He was about to step out the door, he saw Che Xiaoxiao standing at his doorway. Che Xiaoxiao asked with a smile, "You're Li He, right?" "Who are you?" Li He asked, puzzled, not recognizing Che Xiaoxiao. "Me? I'm a student of Hao Jian. Considering that, I should probably be your senior." Che Xiaoxiao lied to Li He because they had suspected that the Clown, who had rescued Li He, was really Hao Jian. If Li He knew Hao Jian, then Che Xiaoxiao, the cunning girl, figured she could extract information about Hao Jian's true identity from him. If Li He didn't know Hao Jian, he should be clueless now. Conversely, he would admit it outright. Indeed, after a moment of stunned silence, Li He put on a big smile, "So, it's senior sister! My apologies for not recognizing you! May I know what brings Senior Sister to me?" Che Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, her lips curling into a sly smile, sure now she had guessed correctly - that rascal was indeed Hao Jian! "Hao Jian went out of his way to save you on the stage, you must be quite important to him, huh?" Che Xiaoxiao continued her probing. Completely unaware of Che Xiaoxiao's ruse, Li He frankly responded, "It's an honor to be acknowledged by the boss. I definitely won't disappoint him!" "Yes, I believe that too!" Che Xiaoxiao scoffed coldly. "Senior Sister, I'm going now to find the boss. Would you like to come with me?" Li He asked enthusiastically. "Go, of course, I'll go. How can I miss out at a time like this?" Che Xiaoxiao said with a touch of irony, already eager to see Hao Jian's astonished face. Meanwhile, Hao Jian hadn't yet realized that Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating were inside Blood Paradise. He found a secluded spot to remove his mask and then discarded his fighter attire before slowly heading toward the exit. Brother Spice Ginger had been waiting outside and, seeing Hao Jian come out, quickly greeted him, giving him a thumbs up: "Boss, that was impressive!" "Stop with the flattery, let's get cleaned up and leave. I still have to pick up my goddaughter from school!" Hao Jian said, annoyed. Brother Spice Ginger wasn't offended at all, still chuckling foolishly, beaming like a gloriously bright dandelion. He was in good spirits now, proud to see his boss flourish, which naturally brought him a sense of pride. At this moment, Zhao Yating and the others rushed out and were taken aback upon seeing Hao Jian. "Teacher, was that really you on stage just now?" Luo Tong asked in astonishment. At first, he hadn't believed it, but now seeing Hao Jian there too, he had no choice but to believe. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world? Hao Jian hadn't expected to bump into Zhao Yating here. Hearing Luo Tong ask this, he immediately denied it, "What are you talking about? I just got here and was about to go in and take a look." He didn't want Zhao Yating and the others to know too much about him. "Isn't it you?" Zhao Yating and the others were very suspicious, constantly scrutinizing Hao Jian's face, trying to find some clues on it. "What are you all talking about, what do you mean 'is it me'? Does someone look a lot like me?" Hao Jian feigned surprise as he asked, his acting skill undoubtedly merit a perfect score. Seeing this, Brother Spice Ginger also wisely chose not to speak. "So, it's not you," seeing this, Zhao Yating and the others couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. They had thought that Hao Jian was the Clown, and the thought of their teacher being a legendary figure had left them both shocked and thrilled. But now it seemed like Hao Jian knew nothing at all, which made them realize that they had thought too much.

Just then, Che Xiaoxiao and Li He came out of Blood Paradise together, and Hao Jian nearly peed his pants when he saw Che Xiaoxiao walk out with Li He. How did this girl end up with Li He? He didn't let slip, did he? "Che Xiaoxiao, you got it wrong. Teacher Hao Jian isn't the man behind the mask." Zhao Yating turned back to Che Xiaoxiao and said. "Oh? How so?" Che Xiaoxiao asked with a cold laugh, well aware that Zhao Yating and the others had been duped by Hao Jian. "Hao Jian just got here and doesn't know what happened inside. How could he be the Clown?" Zhang Jia said. "Not him? Hao Jian, you still want to keep up the act?" Che Xiaoxiao's face showed a smug smile, then she patted Li He on the shoulder, "Your little brother here told me everything!" Hao Jian covered his face and sighed, a look of helplessness on his face, despite all his calculations he had still overlooked the unpredictable variable that was Che Xiaoxiao. When Che Xiaoxiao said this, everyone was taken aback, and Li He was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Had he done something he shouldn't have? Zhao Yating and the others also looked at Che Xiaoxiao in astonishment, not understanding the meaning behind her words. But they also remembered the scene where the Clown came on stage to save Li He. Now, with Che Xiaoxiao saying there was a connection between Li He and Hao Jian, had she discovered something? "Li He told me everything. Hao Jian is the Clown. Still trying to play dumb? Do you think acting ignorant is going to help?" Che Xiaoxiao laughed triumphantly. "Did I do something wrong?" At this point, Li He asked Hao Jian somewhat nervously, his intuition telling him he did something he shouldn't have. Hao Jian bit his lip, "You didn't do anything wrong; it's the enemy that's too cunning!" Hao Jian hadn't expected Che Xiaoxiao to approach Li He, and Li He had been tricked without knowing anything. "Teacher, that's so mean of you!" Zhao Yating looked at Hao Jian with a bit of resentment. "Teacher, you really are too much." Luo Tong and the others also looked at Hao Jian with reproach. Hao Jian became somewhat infuriated, "You bunch of little freaks, what are you doing here? Is this a place for you to be?" "It was Che Xiaoxiao who brought us here!" Zhao Yating shamelessly snitched on Che Xiaoxiao! "Che Xiaoxiao?" Hao Jian glared, again this damnable girl! He then turned to Che Xiaoxiao, "Are you ever going to stop? Making trouble every single day, not doing anything serious, and bringing classmates to all these messy places. Is this a place for you to come to?" "She said she appreciates the art of violence!" Zhao Yating added. "The art of violence, my foot... I think she's just a psycho!" Hao Jian huffed angrily. On hearing this, Che Xiaoxiao got mad too, and with a smirk that was not quite a smile, she looked at Hao Jian, "Yeah, just now I saw a psycho participating in a psycho competition in there!" Calling me a psycho for watching a competition, then what does that make you for competing in it? "Teacher, you're actually the Clown! I admire you so much!" "Teacher, have you really maintained an unbeaten record for a thousand matches? Then you must have killed a lot of people in Blood Paradise, right?" "Teacher, I want your autograph!" The students were chirping about all sorts of things. "Enough!" Hao Jian barked in anger, feeling utterly helpless inside. The last thing he wanted was this kind of situation. "One after another, you still haven't had enough, huh? All of you get lost! If I hear any more nagging, I'll drag you on stage right now to fight Blind Bear!" Hao Jian threatened irritably, truth be told, he didn't want his students to idolize this aspect of his identity having to do with violence, murder, and bloodshed, which were all negative things. Hao Jian did not want these future flowers of the nation to set him as their target to become killing machines. "Teacher, you're so fierce!" Some of the girls said with a sniffle, feeling aggrieved. They didn't understand what was wrong with liking Hao Jian.
