Chapter 136: Chapter 101: No Getting the Wolf Without Baiting the Trap!_2

Can we live like Tang Fei?

Countless people commented on this post, and even more forwarded it.

Many were touched and began writing articles echoing Liang Xinai’s views, supporting Tang Fei’s actions.

As a result, those who slandered Tang Fei and those who supported him evolved from peak verbal duels on countless battlefields to passionate greetings to each other’s relatives...

Seeing the growing influence and attention on her post, Liang Xinai simply created a fan team for Tang Fei on "Galaxy": Tang#Fei.

Team Name: Tang#@Fei.

Team Slogan: "Wherever you fall, just lie there."

Team Purpose: To protect the most authentic Tang Fei.

You should know, previously only real stars and virtual idols had fan teams.

Tang Fei, just an ordinary person, was cursed for being hot-searched due to being managed.

The cursing went on until the wind changed direction; the supporters grew, and even a fan team emerged.

Indeed, as soon as the Tang#Fei organization was established, it caught the attention of countless people.

"Wherever you fall, just lie there. Love it, this speaks to my heart..."

"You lie there and I lie here, salted fish need no dreams."

"Only after you fall will you realize, lying down is the most comfortable..."

"Protecting the best Tang Fei... I’m here...."

"Have you noticed? Tang Fei is actually quite handsome...."

"Hey, upstairs, don’t covet my husband, we’re already married..."

------

Because everyone wanted to lie down, more and more Tang#Fei fans joined.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...

In this era, as technology levels increased, the pressure of human survival became greater.

Before, humans only competed with their own kind, and later also had to compete with various AIs and robots, where carelessness could lead to their professions being replaced...

We could be giants in our actions, but we hoped to be "dwarfs" in thought.

And so, more and more people joined the Tang#@Fei group.

"I’m too tired, I want to lie down."

That was the common sentiment.

More Tang#@Fei members joined and, under the leadership of Liang Xinai, they organized and disciplined their counterattacks, causing those pioneers of the offensive to stop their drums and flags.

They only wanted money, not to risk their lives.

There was no need to destroy one’s online fan base over a single order...

Thus, the people of New Star discovered that a strange name suddenly appeared in the prominent positions of the hot searches across major media.

Tang Fei!

Along with it, the Tang Fei team’s slogan: "Wherever you fall, just lie there."

It goes to show how this slogan had struck a chord with the people.

Tang Fei wasn’t even aware of these happenings, as he was led by Ran Ran to the Disciplinary Inspection Committee’s meeting room.

Lu Yang was also there, with the five members of the Supervision Committee watching the entire altercation between Tang Fei and Lu Yang on a large screen.

This video material was sent over from the Martial Arts Hall and was far clearer and more comprehensive than the versions circulating on the net.

When Lu Yang saw Tang Fei enter, he glared at him with venomous eyes.

He knew that his current situation was more ominous than lucky, and any slight misstep could lead to the school kicking him out, ending up like Shen Qingping.

Although he specialized in Ancient Martial studies, measuring heroism by the depth of one’s realm.

However, within the same realm, those with higher education are more likely to receive more development opportunities.

Centuries ago, someone said that young people should develop morally, intellectually, and physically.

After the video ended, Han Chunguang, the chairman of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee, turned to Tang Fei and Lu Yang, and said, "Both parties are present, do you have anything to say?"

"Chairman, I have been wronged," Lu Yang spoke up. "I had no intention of hurting him. I just drew my knife to block his way, intending to make him accept my challenge... The injury was purely his own doing, to frame and entrap me, to get me expelled from the school..."

"Frame and entrap you? Did I pull the knife out for you? Was it I who placed it against my chest? Did I not clearly refuse your challenge?" Tang Fei immediately retorted.

"Despite my refusal, you still pushed ahead, forcefully holding your knife to my chest... In my panic, I accidentally took a step forward and ended up wounded by your blade... And you dare say I’m framing you? If I was framing you... why would you cooperate so willingly?"

"I didn’t even hurt you, all I did was slice through your clothes, I didn’t harm your flesh at all..."

Hiss!

Tang Fei tore open his clothes to reveal the startling wound underneath and said, "Does this look like no harm to my flesh? This is just slicing through my clothes? How can you spout such blatant lies in front of all these teachers?"

Han Chunguang nodded at one of the committee members, who then stepped forward, touched Tang Fei’s wound, and after checking it, said, "The wound is real."

"I didn’t cause this..." Lu Yang’s eyes widened as he shouted, "This has nothing to do with me, he cut himself... It has nothing to do with me..."

As a Cultivator, he knew what it felt like to have a blade cut flesh.

He only sliced through Tang Fei’s clothes, he was very clear about that.

"I cut myself? Just what kind of madman would say such a thing? What does your leaving or staying have to do with me? Why would I injure myself like this?"

"Both of you, please step out," Han Chunguang spoke.

"Chairman, please believe me..." Lu Yang hurriedly explained, "I really didn’t hurt him... I was going to withdraw the knife, I just didn’t react in time..."

Lu Yang knew that if he just walked out like that, the final verdict would already be set.

"Please step out. We are going to discuss and vote on the final decision," Han Chunguang said.

The staff came over and escorted Tang Fei and Lu Yang out.

Han Chunguang looked around and said, "Let’s vote. All those in favor of expelling Lu Yang for malicious injury, raise your hands."

Then, five committee members raised their hands simultaneously.

They had all seen Tang Fei’s wound, which was shocking and pitiable.

Even if Tang Fei had injured himself, it was Lu Yang who had drawn the knife first...

Moreover, his own brother is a close disciple of Shang Xiulin, the head of the academy.

Although the Disciplinary Inspection Committee has independent enforcement power, isn’t this still the territory of the Imperial First Military Academy?

Lu Yang is guilty of starting trouble first, and without significant backing, choosing to sacrifice him is the most fitting action.

Everybody wins, Lu Yang loses... Who cares?

Soon, Lu Yang received the final voting results from the staff notification: he was expelled.

With bloodshot eyes, he glared at Tang Fei and said viciously, "Tang Fei, you wait... I will not let this go."

Tang Fei waved his hand dismissively, not even bothering to respond.

What is there to say to such trash?

Ran Ran came over, noting the blood seeping from Tang Fei’s chest wound, and said with concern, "Does it hurt a lot? Why be so cruel to yourself?"

With a smile on his face, Tang Fei said, "We have an old saying in the Old Land, ’You can’t trap a wolf if you’re afraid of losing your child.’ The only way to prevent a second and third challenger is to decisively kick out the first one..."

Tang Fei did not know the true intention behind Lu Yang’s challenge, but he was clear that if he didn’t handle the situation well, he would have endless troubles in the future.

As his reputation continued to grow, more and more people would come forth to challenge him.

At that time, would he accept or refuse?

You can reject once, twice, thrice, but you can’t refuse countless times...

So, the best solution is to make people think twice before challenging you.

If you want to challenge, then you should be prepared to pay the heaviest price.

Lu Yang was the ’bird that stuck its neck out,’ and it was necessary for Tang Fei to crush this bird to instill a sense of dread in the other lurking monkeys.

"Let’s go, I’ll bandage you up." Ran Ran also deemed Tang Fei’s words sensible, nodding and speaking up.
