Chapter 92 (1/2)
In Donglin School.
Lian Fei found Yao Susu and said angrily, “I heard that Yang Qun called a group of classmates to pick on Lin Xun. Did you instigate this?”
Yao Susu seemed not to take it seriously and nodded, “I didn’t do it, but I did have something to do with it. I just told Yang Qun that Lin Xun is a young prodigy who despises students of Donglin School, which makes me unhappy.”
Lian Fei’s face fell, “Then Yang Qun and his fellows were goaded into challenging Lin Xun?”
“Yes,” said Yao Susu with a smile, “Yang Qun is irritable and pompous, and can’t stand being provoked. I didn’t even say too much. He just called some guys to pick a fight with Lin Xun.”
“Stupid!”
Lian Fei felt troubled. He was really annoyed, but he could not get angry with Yao Susu, feeling tight in the chest. His face got gloomier. “How can Lin Xun be an ordinary people as he has the ability to kill Tiger Lyu? Yang Qun and his fellows cannot defeat him! Is this not a behavior of inviting humiliation?”
“I didn’t expect them to give Lin Xun a lesson,” Yao said, “and on the contrary, the worse they hurt, the better.”
Lian Fei was in a trance, keenly realizing this matter might not be as simple as he thought.
Sure enough, the next moment Yao Susu said, “Pompous and domineering as Yang Qun and his fellows are, all of them are from big forces in Donglin Town. Offending them is equal to offending these forces. Is it better for you to be against Lin Xun alone?”
Lian Fei almost cooled down and said thoughtfully, “So, have you planned to bring trouble to Lin Xun?”
“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have done such dirty work,” Yao said, curling her lip.
Lian Fei, feeling rather touched, hastened to comfort her and said, “I am only a little worried about you, Susu. As Lin Xun is a ruthless and atrocious guy, how can I bear you being held against by such a little beast?” Yao Susu smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about me. I’m not afraid of this Lin Xun. Without you, I won’t even know there is such a person.”
Lian Fei suddenly realized a question, “By the way, how did you know about my feud with Lin Xun?” Yao was smug and a smile spread from her lips, “No one can keep what I want to know from me. Well, ignore these. Let’s just wait and see what’s going on. The County Test will begin tomorrow. If Yang Qun et al. were seriously injured and could not take part in the test, many forces would inevitably be furious. At that time, Lin will have no mood or energy to parade his ability for more than a few days.”
Hearing this, Lian Fei could not help but think to himself. Yao Susu, a young girl seemed innocent and artless, but who would have thought she was so scheming and calculating?
A thrill rose in his heart at the thought of the incident to probably make Lin get into a serious trouble, and he did not forget the frustration and grievance he had suffered in the past days.
A sudden tumult rose from the distance, and Lian Fei and Yao Susu subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A group of students were hurrying out of the school gate, and someone was shouting on the road.
“Be quick! Fellows of our school have been beaten and escorted to the front of the school with bound hands!”
“Damn it! How dare such a bully try to tease our Donglin School. Now I want to take a look at this madcap guy!”
A buzz of conversation ran through the crowd, making Lian Fei and Yao Susu speechless, and they wondered how the situation had become out of control. Lin Xun was so arrogant and rude. He was now coming to tease Donglin School, not to mention he just bullied Yang Qun and his friends!
They looked at each other, and came together to the school gate to find out what happened there.
……
It was around noon time. In front of Donglin School had stood so many on-lookers.
On the open ground in front of the gate were lying a dozen guys, all with tied hands and feet, swollen face, disheveled hair, and rags in the mouth, which was so miserable.
Of course, they were the students who asked for trouble in Courtyard 49 today.
Besides them, there were a dozen very old men and women standing on their knees and crying with runny noses.
Fatty Diao and the Bones were among them.
At the moment, Fatty Diao was angrily shouting, “Neighbors! Friends! Today we are forced to come here for a justice. Even if we are beaten to death by Donglin School later, we still have to say something!”
“These dregs from Donglin School came to Civilian Area to bully people, pretending to improve their cultivation in martial arts for tomorrow’s County Test. However, they beat everyone they saw on the street, including our families and friends! They are extremely merciless and cruel with no laws to their eyes! I just want to ask whether there is any law governing this world?”
Fatty Diao was full of righteous indignation and spoke vehemently with a distinctly moral tone, which made the crowd hear him clearly and start gossiping about this farce.
“They did walk all over us!”
