Chapter 91: United in Adversity

  "What are you all doing there? Why is it so noisy? Don't you know you're blocking the way for others? Hurry up and get out of the way!"

  A loud shout came from upstairs, and then a young man with an imposing aura walked down. At first glance, this young man looked malnourished, with no meat on his body and not very tall. Tian Jiaomei and I had seen him before, he was Li Kui.

  Li Kui, 18 years old. Not to mention his appearance, but in terms of talent, he is quite good. In literature, he is clever and astute, now a ninth-grader and among the top ten in his grade; in martial arts, he has already reached the pinnacle of high-level warrior spirit, pps902, which shows that his talent is indeed not bad.

  With a loud explosion, most of my classmates scattered like birds and beasts. I also shouted: "Hurry up and leave, it's better to have one less thing than one more." Some classmates rushed forward to ask how he was doing, flattering him nonstop, making Li feel pleased with himself.

  However, fate did not cooperate. Just as Li was about to make a majestic appearance, he suddenly wanted to show off his dignity and loudly shouted at the crowd:

  "Everyone stop right there and come back quickly, tell me what happened here?"

  After hearing this, the scattered classmates were very angry, but they didn't dare to make a fuss, and most of them quietly returned. A small number of people simply ignored it and even quickened their pace to leave, and this group of people naturally included our nine-person team.

  This made Li Kui, who was extremely concerned about his reputation and wanted to show off at this moment, very unhappy. He was thinking of ways to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. The eyes of several clever "younger brothers" next to him turned around, pointing towards the small number of people who were leaving in the distance:

  "Brother Kun, those few people are the troublemakers, they're fleeing in fear of punishment, should we go after them?"

  "Hey, stop calling me Kui Ge, just call me Big Brother from now on!" Li Kui said furiously. Seeing the innocent faces of his younger brothers, he couldn't lose his temper and instead chuckled:

  "Are you guys serious? Hehe, chase them, of course we'll chase them, can't let them get away!"

  A group of younger brothers, like a swarm of bees, followed and chased after him, shouting loudly as they went, making the students studying in the library extremely annoyed.

  Even several classmates ran to complain to the librarian...

  But we, this small group of people, had just left the library and were less than a hundred meters away when we heard the shouting from behind. We silently thought it was not good and simultaneously ran off in different directions.

  Meanwhile, the situation here has alarmed many people. At this moment, eight more people rushed over, each with a cultivation level comparable to Li Kui's. They exchanged a glance with Li Kui and let out a cold snort:

  "Don't be so arrogant!"

  Nine people went in nine different directions to chase after the scattered classmates. When they saw their ninth-grade senior brothers or sisters coming from behind, some of the students were so scared that their intestines turned green: This has nothing to do with me! Please spare us, senior brothers and sisters!

  Unfortunately, these newcomers shouted themselves hoarse to no avail. Facing the wolf-like and iron-faced senior brothers and sisters who showed no mercy, they could only be knocked to the ground and then obediently surrender.

  It's a coincidence that Li Kui is chasing in the same direction as me, Xiao Mei, and Ye Muting, which exhausts him. What makes him even more angry is that as a ninth-grade high-achieving student, he can't catch up with three freshmen, and only two of them are exerting themselves; what's even more absurd is that one of the younger brothers is carrying one and pulling another, yet still running so fast! So he threatened:

  "Halt! If you don't stop, I'll come after you and won't be polite!"

  "Wait till you catch up then!" With my strong spiritual awareness and thinking, I will make the situation very clear. If this guy catches up, I'm afraid there's no way to explain it clearly. Besides, catching up? With his little strength, that's impossible!

  "Hey, that senior brother in the back, aren't you ashamed? Can't even catch up with a few new students, go back to your mother's womb and cultivate for a few more years! Haha!"

  Ye Mengting had long been displeased with this senior brother's behavior, and now that she finally had the opportunity to mock him, she wouldn't show any mercy.

  "Hehe... Xiaoting, you're so humorous!" Xiaomei also chuckled and said, while I was beside them, listening with a trembling body, almost bursting out laughing, my pace slowed down by half a beat, which is still good!

  Li Kui was suffocating with rage at this moment, and the proud him had never been ridiculed like this before. He was also exhausted from running and couldn't catch his breath, so he fell to the ground, coughing nonstop.

  And yet at this moment I should have hastened away, but instead I furrowed my brow and stopped in my tracks, turning around.

  "Little brother, why did you stop?" Tian Jiao Mei asked me with a puzzled expression.

  "Really? Brother Yue, are you worried about him? He's trying to catch us and take us back!"

  Ye Mengting's puzzled voice was loud, and even Li Kui, who was coughing, heard it. He struggled to lift his head and look at the three people who had turned around.

  First a hint of surprise, then delight, eyes shining bright, coughing while excitedly chuckling to himself:

  "So it was you! Good, your personal seal is here. Cough, cough, uh... Today I finally caught the handle, cough, heh heh, cough, uh..."

  I let out a sigh of helplessness, shook my head and ignored Li Kui, instead looking at the two women and saying:

  "You go first, his target is me, last time I defeated Liu Jin Song, and he is Liu Jin Song's follower."

  "We won't go, if we have to go, we'll go together. Besides, it's not a big deal, Grandpa won't punish us."

  Xiao Mei was well aware of the school rules, but she had forgotten that the current situation was not just a minor disturbance in the library, but rather "fleeing in fear of punishment".

  I have a divine sense and the help of my thinking, when someone chased me out, I sensed the thoughts of these people, knowing that this matter cannot be ended well, so it's one of the thirty-six strategies "retreat is better". Who knew there were eight more in the library, now my little friends are definitely hard to escape.

  As expected, just as I was about to take advantage of Li Kui's coughing fit to retreat with my six companions, they were all caught, which led to my frowning and turning back...

  "Brother Moon, it's all your fault. He coughed and fell down, why did you turn around? Now that everyone has seen clearly, there's no escape. You won't leave, I won't leave either!"

  Ye Mengting complained, but her tone had become much softer, and Xiao Mei continued:

  "Xiao Ting, it's okay, this guy is kind, you understand?"

  "Hmm, yes, Brother Yue is kind-hearted, unlike some people who don't appreciate others' concern and instead bite back!"

  "Hehe... exactly, exactly."

  ……

  Two women beside me chattered and flattered me, while belittling Li Kui. I smiled wryly and said:

  "Alright, alright, you two little girls, the young man is not as noble as you imagined, haha, you'd better hurry up and leave, I need to go back for a while, you don't have to follow me."

  "Brother Moon, what are you going back for? We're leaving now. He's all talk and no action, what can he do to us? Haha"

  "You little girl, of course, brother has a reason to go back, don't worry, nothing will happen, you guys hurry up and leave, he's all talk but can't do anything to you, haha."

  "Little brother, don't deceive us anymore, has something happened? I know you have a strong divine sense and can discover things from afar."

  "Hey, little brother, you're always so nonchalant! Alright, here's the thing, my roommates have all been caught, and as their roommate, dorm leader, and brother, I won't let them be lonely, that's why I must go back!"

  "But you're different, as girls, I want you to leave, and don't let your personal files be tainted with even a little bit of dirt!"

  "You don't need to say anything, I think those guys are thinking the same thing too. Just listen obediently and leave."

  Looking at the two girls standing still on the spot, tears rolling in their eyes, I reached out to wipe them away for them and scolded with a smile:

  "You two little rascals, what are you doing? It's not like it's a matter of life and death, you're making me..."

  "Alright, be good and listen, let's go. We'll still have class together tomorrow, Teacher Mei An Kun's arithmetic lesson, isn't it interesting?"

  Before they could react, I took advantage of the momentary distraction to grab Li Ke's weak and coughing body and make a dash in the direction of the First Library!

  Tian Jiao Mei saw me walking away and her first reaction was to chase after me, but she was pulled back by Ye Meng Ting. She shook her head and said:

  "Xiao Mei, Brother Yue doesn't want us to follow him. If we go, he will be unhappy. Let's not make him unhappy."

  Xiao Mei was just momentarily anxious, and after hearing Ye Mengting's words, she also understood, turned around and ran towards the direction of the principal's office building, only to hear:

  "Xiao Ting, you go back to the dorm first, I'll go find Grandpa to plead for mercy. Xiao Ge is from the liberal arts class, if he gets punished by Vice President Long, it's likely to be quite severe!"

  "Alright, then you must hurry up! Otherwise, Brother Yue will be in trouble."

  Ye Mengting's high-pitched voice was released, and even hundreds of meters away from me, I could hear it clearly, feeling grateful in my heart.

  Of course, I'm relieved by the performance of the two women. I've finally recalled my divine consciousness. Just now, I was afraid they wouldn't understand and would follow me in pursuit, but now I can finally feel at ease.
