After sorting through his memories, Ethan Brooks's expression grew very grim. Leaving aside the issue of possible impotence, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here seemed extremely thin—this was simply not a place for cultivation. Was he really going to die of old age in this place called Earth, just like that?

Whether or not he attended university was already irrelevant; the most important thing was to figure out his current situation. His impotence was a matter that affected the reputation of the Ye family. Even though he had been expelled from the family, who knew if someone might suddenly try to kill him? Maybe there were other hidden reasons behind his expulsion, and now, was his safety even guaranteed?

After the class bell rang, the first thing Ethan Brooks did was, of course, not to go to the beautiful teacher, but to rush out of the school in a hurry. He needed to find a place to check his own little brother and see if he was really impotent.

Fortunately, there weren’t many things next to Ninghai University, but there were plenty of small alleys. Ethan Brooks hurriedly ran into a secluded, deserted alley and quickly pulled down his pants.

Sure enough, his little brother was very small. However, Ethan Brooks was not completely disappointed because of this; instead, he let out a long sigh of relief. He wasn’t actually impotent—it was just that his little brother was too big, and a blocked meridian was preventing its development, resulting in this false impotence. Before cultivating on Luoyue Continent, he had already been a skilled doctor, so he immediately understood what was going on.

However, with the current level of technology on Earth, trying to clear this blocked meridian was nothing but a pipe dream. But this was not a problem for Ethan Brooks. Although he didn’t yet have the ability to open the blocked meridian and make his little brother strong again, as soon as he reached the third level of Qi training, the meridian would naturally be cleared.

But Ethan Brooks immediately felt a bit disappointed again, because with the spiritual energy on Earth being so thin, reaching the third level of Qi training would be an extremely difficult task. Maybe he would never achieve it in his lifetime, and if that was the case, he would still be as good as impotent.

Sighing, Ethan Brooks was just about to pull up his pants when a sudden scream startled him.

“Pervert!” A high-pitched female soprano rang out right in front of Ethan Brooks. He had been so focused on checking his little brother that he’d forgotten to check his surroundings. He hadn’t realized that this alley was actually connected at the other end, just out of sight around the corner.

Ethan Brooks was not an exhibitionist, and besides, he didn’t have anything worth exposing right now. He hurriedly pulled up his pants and tried to slip away.

“Ethan Brooks, is that you?” After her scream, the woman actually asked in a surprised tone. Clearly, she knew Ethan Brooks.

Chapter 2: The Ning Family Wants to Break Off the Engagement

Ethan Brooks looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise. Her hair was very short, and although she wasn’t beautiful, she was at least pleasant to look at. She looked familiar, but he couldn’t quite remember her. After those memories had flooded in before class, everything else had gradually faded, leaving only his memories from before his rebirth.

“Hmph, Ethan Brooks, I’ve lent you money so many times, and you actually pretend not to know me. You’re really too much!” the round-faced woman exclaimed.

Suddenly, Ethan Brooks remembered—this woman’s name was Emily Smith, from the Wang family in the capital. She was straightforward, careless about details, and spoke without much thought, but she wasn’t a bad person. She was also studying in Ninghai, and at Ninghai University, too. Back in the capital, Ethan Brooks had never been well-liked, so he knew very few people, especially after being expelled from the Ye family.

He knew Emily Smith because she and his younger sister Olivia Brooks were classmates, and she often came to Ethan Brooks’s house to play. Over time, they got to know each other.

Although Ethan Brooks had been expelled from the Ye family and many people who knew him pretended not to, Emily Smith was lively and straightforward, without any hidden motives. She didn’t pretend not to know him; in fact, she had lent him money several times when he was struggling.

“Uh, it’s you, Emily Smith. Sorry, my mind was a bit muddled just now, I didn’t recognize you…” Ethan Brooks said, while thinking to himself that he didn’t even have money for food now—should he ask to borrow some more from her?

Just as Ethan Brooks was preparing to ask for money, Emily Smith suddenly said mysteriously, “Ethan Brooks, do you know who’s the most famous person in the capital now, after you? Oh, I shouldn’t say the most famous—more like the one who’s the biggest laughingstock.”

Emily Smith didn’t seem to care at all whether her words might hurt Ethan Brooks’s self-esteem, and just kept talking happily.

But she didn’t seem to expect Ethan Brooks to answer her, and instead continued mysteriously, “A few months ago, the Ning family went to your Ye family to break off the engagement. Do you know what your uncle said?”

Ethan Brooks replied calmly, “I am Ethan Brooks, I don’t have any uncle.”
