Chapter 139: Chapter 142 Strong Position

In the afternoon, Fatty Tang’s behavior further convinced Xiao Yi of his previous guess that this kid must have gone there. He definitely wasn’t just any innocent classmate; he had to be interested in someone. Since Zeng Xiaoxiao was not at school, Fatty Tang sat next to Xiao Yi in the afternoon. For the entire afternoon, he surprisingly stayed awake, looking constantly uneasy, as if nervous, yet somewhat shy, and also expectant...

He also kept trying to strike up casual conversations with Xiao Yi, which made it impossible for Xiao Yi to even close his eyes to rest for a bit.

There was only one class that afternoon, and as soon as the bell rang, Fatty Tang hurriedly pulled Xiao Yi towards the classroom door.

"I told you, Fatty, there’s no need to rush since she’s still there, and she won’t escape."

Xiao Yi watched the anxious Fatty Tang, unable to help but speak out.

"Well, boss, you don’t know, but I haven’t seen her in a long time."

Fatty Tang blushed slightly, admitting somewhat embarrassedly.

"Still, there’s no need to rush as if you’re trying to reincarnate immediately."

Xiao Yi gave him a look, but although he said this, he stopped dragging his feet and quickened his pace, following Fatty Tang towards the classroom door.

"Thump!"

But just as Xiao Yi and Fatty Tang reached the classroom door, an accident occurred. Fatty Tang hurried ahead from one side towards the classroom door, not paying attention to his surroundings. Meanwhile, someone else, also rushing headlong and looking down, headed towards the classroom door. Suddenly, the two collided, causing Fatty Tang, caught off guard, to nearly stumble and fall to the side.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi reacted quickly and grabbed him in time to prevent him from hitting the door frame in front of him.

"Can’t you see where you’re going!"

The person who bumped into them was also in discomfort; after the collision, his cell phone, which he was using to talk, almost fell to the ground. Immediately, he yelled without even looking up; however, after finishing his rant and looking up to see Xiao Yi and the now-steadied Fatty Tang, his fierce expression suddenly vanished, replaced with a hint of fear in his eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Yi also got a clear look at the bumper, a faint cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Quite bold, bumping into someone and still having the nerve to scold them?"

"You... what do you want?"

The bumper was none other than Wang Qiang, one of Gao Junjie’s Four Major Lackeys, who spoke harshly to Xiao Yi. Despite the fear brewing inside, it was just after class, and most of the classmates hadn’t left the room yet, all eyes on him. So he forced himself to talk tough, but the expression on his face and the powerlessness in his tone sold out his true inner thoughts.

Indeed, facing Xiao Yi, he undoubtedly carried the greatest shadow in the hearts of the Four Major Lackeys. He truly didn’t have the courage to confront Xiao Yi head-on. The Martial Strength Index that Xiao Yi demonstrated was simply beyond his ability to compete with.

"You bumped into my friend and even scolded my friend; you at least owe us an apology."

Xiao Yi gave him a disdainful look and said indifferently,

"Xiao, don’t push people too far!"

Wang Qiang stared at Xiao Yi; he felt the disdain in Xiao Yi’s gaze, which made his heart sting as if there were flames burning on his cheeks, painfully hot. There was a time when he had been a notable figure in class, but now he found himself being looked at with such disdain by a country bumpkin. His face turned from green to white, and after glaring fiercely at Fatty Tang and looking around at the other classmates, as if he saw eyes filled with mockery, he found himself unable to apologize. Grinding his teeth and focusing on Xiao Yi, he said,

"Xiao, you’re going too far. If things become too rigid, it won’t be good for anyone."

At this moment, the lanky Li Han also rushed over, his face grim, and said to Xiao Yi while casting a somewhat gloomy look at Fatty Tang nearby,

"Forget it, Boss, let’s just go. Whether he apologizes or not doesn’t matter anymore."

Fatty Tang, scrutinized by Li Han’s gloomy gaze, felt slightly intimidated, hesitated for a moment, tugged at Xiao Yi, and whispered his advice.

He knew Xiao Yi was standing up for him and was deeply touched. He also knew that he had already offended Gao Junjie and his group, but he still harbored a sliver of hope that they could avoid worsening their relations too much. After all, people like Gao Junjie came from extraordinary backgrounds, and even if Xiao Yi’s Kung Fu was unmatched, many things in society couldn’t be solved with fists alone.

If they really made enemies, and the other party used their connections to target Xiao Yi, then he would feel extremely guilty.

However, Xiao Yi ignored Fatty Tang’s words and simply patted his shoulder lightly, his lips curling into a cold smile as he looked at Li Han, "I’m going too far? I would really like to know, how am I going too far? Is apologizing after bumping into someone too much to ask? Also, what do you mean by ’making things too rigid’? Are you threatening me?"

"You..."

Li Han hadn’t expected Xiao Yi to be so assertive. Intimidated by his gaze, he couldn’t help but step back. His fear of Xiao Yi wasn’t much less than that of Wang Qiang, especially after their few exchanges of leg techniques, which almost crippled him. He simply didn’t have the courage to face Xiao Yi. After stepping back, his face momentarily flushed.

"I really want to see just how you two idiots can make things difficult for me! I’m laying it out here, today he either apologizes or nobody leaves this classroom."

Xiao Yi’s expression turned cold and sinister as he looked at Wang Qiang with a chilling tone,

At that moment, as they observed the grim-faced Xiao Yi, all the classmates felt a shock and a wave of fear creep over them. For the first time, they realized that Classmate Xiao, who seemed unremarkable but possessed extraordinary Kung Fu skills, could also be so fearsome.

This was the first time Xiao Yi had shown such a dominant side in front of so many classmates. Although he had clashed with the Four Young Evil Masters several times before, those incidents were always dismissed as if he was merely playing by kicking them away with ease.

Even when Ziming Li and some hoodlums came to cause trouble, Xiao Yi handled them lazily and effortlessly, so the students felt that although Xiao Yi was powerful in fights, they never really felt pressured by him.

(PS: I got a bit repetitive in the last Chapter, so I’ll ramble a bit more with everyone. I’ve grown accustomed to updating daily and chatting with you all. But don’t worry, these words aren’t counted in the word count. It’s been almost a week since the book was listed, from Monday to today, Saturday. The outcomes have indeed been disappointing. Using the terms popular among authors today, it was a flop, and quite a miserable one. When I saw the 24-hour subscription, it really saddened me. Honestly, I had some expectations for this book, but to see such results... Some author friends suggested I consider cutting it, but after some hesitation, I decided to continue writing spiritedly, especially since there are a few friends who like this book. I wouldn’t want to let everyone down. Since it’s been listed, the update speed speaks for itself. Saying all this, I’m sincerely hoping that those who read pirated versions might support the original after reading. Even just casting a free vote or, if possible, subscribing and offering some rewards would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!) (To be continued.
