Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Gu Tu's father was a servant of the Shen family.

So Gu Tu followed his father, lived in the Shen family, and grew up in the Shen family.

The Shen family's children saw that he was the son of a servant and had a low status, so they would make fun of him from time to time, making him a sandbag for their martial arts practice and beating him up.

Because of his introverted personality, Gu Tu would not say anything when he was bullied and would endure it silently. So for a long time, his body was always covered with bruises and not a single part was intact.

This kind of life continued until he was ten years old, when it finally ended.

The person who rescued him from his suffering was Shen Lanyi.

Shen Lanyi is the only girl in the Shen family's generation. She has been loved since birth. In addition, she has a good talent as a warrior. She has reached the third level of martial arts before she was ten years old.

Therefore, in the Shen family, Shen Lanyi has a very high status, and none of her brothers and sisters have as much power as her.

That day, the sun was shining brightly, and Chen Lanyi was practicing martial arts in the backyard. When she stopped to rest and drink water, a dull hum suddenly came from outside the yard.

Although the sound was small, it was particularly noticeable in this quiet atmosphere. She immediately put down her cup and walked over to find out what was going on.

Walking out of the backyard, Shen Lanyi saw at a glance that there were four or five boys, surrounding a circle and beating the person in the middle.

Her brows furrowed tightly, and she shouted at them, "Hey, what are you doing?"

When the boys heard her voice, they stopped what they were doing and turned around.

When they saw that it was Shen Lanyi, a trace of panic appeared on their faces, and they quickly stood in a row, bowed to her respectfully and greeted her: "Hello, Miss Lanyi."

They were children from the side branch of the Shen family, and Shen Lanyi was the only eldest daughter of the Shen family with a noble status, so they had to bow when they saw her.

Shen Lanyi's brows were still furrowed, and her eyes swept across the row of people, finally landing on the little boy who was squatting on the ground with his hands on his head.

The little boy was extremely thin. He curled up his body and trembled slightly.

"Let me ask you again, what were you doing just now?" Shen Lanyi returned her gaze to the boys' faces and said in a deep voice.

Several boys hesitated and lowered their heads. No one dared to look Chen Lanyi in the eye, let alone tell the truth.

Shen Lanyi walked closer and stood beside Gu Tu. She bent down and helped Gu Tu up. "If they don't want to say it, then you say it."

"Tell me why they beat you."

Gu Tu had never expected that he would be helped up by Shen Lanyi. He looked obviously shocked and stared at Shen Lanyi in a daze.

In his opinion, Shen Lanyi was like a god in the sky, unattainable and out of reach, but now, the god was right in front of him and wanted to help him.

Gu Tu was slow to speak, and Shen Lanyi thought he was afraid of retaliation, so he didn't dare to speak, "You don't have to be afraid of them, speak boldly, I'm here, they won't bully you anymore."

However, Gu Tu remained in a daze, not saying a word.

Finally, the boys couldn't help themselves and said, "Miss Lan Yi, you misunderstood. We were not bullying him. We were just exchanging ideas with him. He was just a coward and didn't dare to fight back. It has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah."

Do you think she is a fool and can't see it?

They are obviously bullying others by relying on their numbers.

She hates people who bully others the most.

Shen Lanyi didn't care whether Gu Tu said anything or not, "Well, let's switch sides. Now you guys don't fight back and let him hit you."

After Shen Lanyi finished speaking, the boys were shocked at first, and then they realized what they were afraid of. Gu Tu was so weak and it was obvious that he didn't have much strength. So they just let him hit them a few times. It wouldn't matter anyway.

"Let's start. You can only stop when I say so." Shen Lanyi pulled Gu Tu's sleeve and brought him in front of the others, then stepped back to make room for him to move.

Gu Tu was totally at a loss, "Ms. Lan Yi, I..."

"Beat me, hit me hard. Whether I kill you or maim you, it's all my fault. You won't be hurt at all."

Shen Lanyi's words seemed to give Gu Tu a reassurance. He slowly raised his fist and punched the person who usually hit him the hardest.

The man was looking at Gu Tu provocatively one second ago, and the next second his teeth were knocked out and he fell to the ground in a mess.

Shen Lan, who was standing by, agreed and nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, continue.

"Chen Xiao!" exclaimed the other boys. They obviously didn't expect Gu Tu to be so harsh.

"Good bastard Gu Tu, are you serious? Are you looking for death?"

Gu Tu didn't know where he got the courage from, and for the first time he retorted: "You were the ones who hit me first, I just hit back."

"You——" One of the boys wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Lanyi.

"Did I say stop? Keep going."

So, the five people were beaten by Gu Tu one by one, until he was almost out of strength, Shen Lanyi called for a stop.

Chen Lanyi glanced at the five people lying on the ground wailing, and asked Gu Tu: "Are you satisfied?"

Gu Tu was panting, his eyes gleaming with a determination he had never seen before. He replied, "Great."

"Shuang, then why didn't you fight back before? You are obviously much stronger than them. If we really fought, they would not be your match at all."

Shen Lanyi could see clearly that those people were not even at the first level of Wu, while Gu Tu was at least at the second level of Wu. If he fought back, these people would not dare to hit him.

Gu Tu lowered his head, "I..."

At this moment, another male voice suddenly came, "Yiyi, why are you here?"

Gu Tu suddenly looked up and saw a boy about his age walking towards them.

Shen Lanyi also saw the boy. She smiled and replied with a hint of arrogance in her tone, "I am upholding justice."

The boy was Li Cenyuan. Hearing this, he immediately cooperated and exclaimed, "So amazing."

His eyes then fell on the few people on the ground. He paused for a moment and asked doubtfully, "You were too harsh. Did they offend you?"

Shen Lanyi shook her head and pointed, "I didn't beat them." Then she pointed at Gu Tu, "It was him."

Li Cenyuan looked in the direction that Shen Lan pointed, tilted his head and asked, "Did you hit him?"

Gu Tu's heart tightened instantly, and his fingers unconsciously grasped his pants. When he thought Li Cenyuan was going to scold him, he heard him praise: "You are very good."

Gu Tu was stunned again.

Of course he knew Li Cenyuan. He was a martial arts genius that was rare in the Li family and even in the entire Xuanzhou. When others were still babbling, Li Cenyuan had already stepped into the threshold of martial arts practitioners.

He reached the second level of Wu at the age of six, the third level of Wu at the age of nine, and now, at the age of twelve, he has become the youngest fourth level martial artist in the history of Xuanzhou.
