In a clearing within the freshmen dormitory area, a dense crowd of people gathered, with two factions standing in opposition. One faction was larger in number, while the other had only about a dozen or so. However, it seemed that the smaller group held the upper hand. “Xuner, Cai Lin, don’t be stubborn. I’ve already told you that your ‘Pan Gate’ will never rise in the inner courtyard. Freshmen are the new blood that various forces need every year; they won’t let you monopolize all the fresh blood.”
The leader of the smaller group was a young man in white robes, with handsome features that easily attracted women’s attention. Yet, Xuner and Cai Lin showed no sign of favor, instead displaying disdain and contempt.
“These are our affairs, and we don’t need a traitor like you to worry about them,” Cai Lin sneered.
“If you have nothing else to do, please leave. We don’t welcome you here in the freshmen area,” Xuner glanced at Baishan and said coldly.
Their attitude made Baishan’s mouth twitch, and his originally smiling face turned gloomy. “Baishan, why waste more words? For these freshmen, just break their pride first, and then naturally, some will choose to follow us,” a robust young man next to Baishan said, his eyes occasionally glancing at Xuner and Cai Lin’s curvaceous figures.
“Brother Fu Ao is right, but since they are girls, attacking them right away might be seen as lacking in class, wouldn’t it?” Baishan didn’t dare to ignore this young man, as he was one of the three strong Dou Ling fighters in the gang, aside from his cousin. He quickly agreed with a smile.
“Haha, that’s true,” Fu Ao laughed and looked back at Xuner, grinning. “Xuner, even though Xiao Yan managed to lead you to victory in the Fire Energy Hunt, he doesn’t have the qualifications in the inner courtyard. Don’t think he has any real backbone. Maybe after a few days, having suffered enough, he will dissolve your so-called ‘Pan Gate.'”
“No need for your concern. As long as Brother Xiao Yan doesn’t say anything, the Pan Gate will not fear any force. If you want to force us, try it!” Xuner gave him a cold look and replied.
Seeing Xuner’s delicate face covered in frost, Fu Ao’s smile grew broader. “What a stubborn girl, but just my type… How about this: if you give me five freshmen today, my White Gang won’t bother you anymore. How does that sound?”
“Fu Ao, five…” Hearing this, Baishan’s face changed slightly, and he hurriedly spoke. He came here for more than just five freshmen.
Fu Ao waved his hand, interrupting Baishan. “Of course, among these five, Xuner must be included.”
Baishan’s face darkened. He could now hear that Fu Ao also had his eye on Xuner. But, as Fu Ao’s gaze was fixed on Xuner, he didn’t notice Baishan’s expression.
“The Pan Gate won’t hand over anyone to any force!” Xuner heard the teasing in Fu Ao’s words and stared at him, her frosty expression suddenly disappearing, and she said calmly.
Seeing Xuner’s once again indifferent expression, Fu Ao frowned. He didn’t like women showing such an attitude. His smile faded, and he said coldly, “If that’s the case, it seems we can only use force. After defeating all the strong members of your Pan Gate, let’s see how much credibility you have left to retain them.”
“Then try it?” Cai Lin’s face was icy as green-colored Dou Qi burst from her body, exuding a powerful aura that filled the clearing. As Cai Lin’s aura surged, the dozens of freshmen behind her roared, and a variety of colored Dou Qi surged out, sending the leaves on the ground flying.
“Oh? This year’s freshmen are indeed as arrogant as the rumors say,” Fu Ao sneered as he took a heavy step forward. A low rumbling sound echoed, and azure Dou Qi instantly enveloped his body, swirling like seawater around him.
As Fu Ao’s Dou Qi surged, a powerful aura far surpassing anyone present filled the clearing, forcefully suppressing the many freshmen’s auras. “Today, I will show you the difference between freshmen and seniors!”
Baishan nodded slightly, gave Xuner a complex look, then waved his hand and shouted, “Attack!”
Upon hearing Baishan’s command, the nearly ten seniors behind him charged forward, turning into shadows as they shot towards the others. “I’ll stop Baishan, Xuner, you take care of the rest,” Cai Lin shook her hand, and a slender green whip appeared, snapping in the air with a thunderous sound, carrying a faint, strange fragrance.
Xuner nodded slightly, her icy eyes on the charging figures, and golden light appeared in her small, jade-like hands. Just as the battle was about to begin, a black shadow suddenly tore through the sky, making a sharp, piercing sound and landing between the two sides, separating them with a loud explosion and a cloud of dust.
Fu Ao frowned and waved his sleeve, sending a gust of wind that blew the dust away, revealing a large black ruler stuck in the hard stone. All eyes moved from the ruler to the two figures standing behind it.
“Xiao Yan, Wu Hao, I thought you ran away after hearing the news, but you still dared to come back?” Baishan’s face changed slightly as he saw the two figures, and he said coldly.
Xiao Yan gave him a cold glance and then focused on Fu Ao, sensing that he was the strongest person here. The freshmen cheered at the sight of Xiao Yan and Wu Hao. After recent events, Xiao Yan had become their true backbone, and with him, they were ready to fight anyone.
“You two, you finally came back…” Cai Lin breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the two lean figures. No matter how fierce she was, it was always best for men to stand in front.
“Brother Xiao Yan, they…” Xuner looked at Xiao Yan’s back and said softly.
Waving his hand, Xiao Yan interrupted her, “Yes, I know. Leave it to me.” Xuner nodded gently, gazing at the lean figure, loving his confident demeanor, just like when they were children.
“You are Xiao Yan?” Fu Ao looked at Xiao Yan, then at Xuner’s gentle expression, which was different from before, and he couldn’t help but frown, sneering.
“He is Xiao Yan, the current leader of these freshmen,” Baishan interjected.
“Baishan, I didn’t expect your face to be so thick. I really was blind before,” Xiao Yan glanced at Baishan, his laughter hiding sarcasm.
Baishan’s face turned pale, and he glared at Xiao Yan, saying coldly, “Go ahead and be arrogant. I’ve already said that in the inner courtyard, I have ways to deal with you.”
“Besides relying on others, what can you do?” Xiao Yan smiled coldly.
“You…” “Enough, stop arguing,” Fu Ao waved his hand, interrupting the two. He looked at Xiao Yan and said, “I won’t play games with you. Hand over fifteen freshmen to my White Gang, and we’ll leave immediately.”
“And if we don’t?” Xiao Yan placed his hand on the ruler’s handle, his voice cold.
“Then we’ll fight until you lose all your dignity in front of the freshmen!” Fu Ao grinned, his teeth flashing with a hint of coldness.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly, cracking his neck, and was about to step forward when Wu Hao stopped him. “Let me handle it?”
“This guy is a Dou Ling. You might find it difficult to handle him,” Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, pushing Wu Hao’s arm away, then slowly stepped forward, looking at Fu Ao, and said with a light smile, “A one-on-one duel. If I win, you do as I say. If I lose, your White Gang will not bother the Pan Gate for three months. Do you dare accept?”
Hearing this, Fu Ao’s eyes narrowed.
“Fu Ao, don’t agree. That guy has some cards up his sleeve. Last time, he even defeated Luo Hou,” Baishan said urgently. “All of us together, even if there are many freshmen, they won’t be able to stop us!”
“No need. Luo Hou just entered the Dou Ling level, defeating him isn’t much. Let’s change the stakes. If I win, I get fifteen people from your group, including her. If I lose, the White Gang won’t bother you for six months. How about that?”
Xiao Yan’s smile gradually faded, turning into a grim and dark expression. A dragon has reverse scales, and those who touch them will face its wrath. Xiao Yan’s reverse scale was undoubtedly this girl who had always put her heart into him since childhood…
“Brother Xiao Yan, let’s go!” A soft voice sounded behind Xiao Yan, and a slender, boneless hand gently grasped Xiao Yan’s clenched fist.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan turned to look at the elegant, green-clad girl, then leaned down, his lips close to her ear, whispering, “Girl, in six months, I will eliminate the White Gang!”
She smiled sweetly, her beauty captivating, and for him, she had never doubted.
