Chapter 321: Chapter 324: You Guys Know Shit

Even the person involved, the drunkard who had been scared enough to nearly pee himself just moments ago, was somewhat befuddled when he heard Xiao Yi’s words. His eyes showed a hint of disbelief. When Xiao Yi had slapped him, it felt as if a mosquito had bitten his face—a sensation that was slightly itchy, slightly painful but ultimately negligible to him.

His mind was still thinking, ’This pretty boy’s hand is really different, so white, so smooth, and it even feels strange when it hits my face.’

Is that really it? Is this how he teaches a lesson?

Just to scare me?

"Boss, that’s it?"

Fatty Tang was the first to recover, looking at Xiao Yi with astonishment.

"Thank you, Brother, ah no, I mean, Boss, thank you for showing mercy!"

Hearing Fatty Tang’s voice, the drunkard finally snapped back to reality, rapidly bowed continuously to Xiao Yi, and then hurried toward the exit.

Seeing him about to flee, Brother Fa and his men were about to make a move to stop him, but they had just started when Xiao Yi stopped them.

"No need to stop him, I’ve already taught him a lesson, that’s all, there’s nothing more, go about your business," Xiao Yi said, with a slight smile on his face. He glanced at the retreating figure vanishing at the doorway with a touch of disdain. Did he really think he could act so arrogantly in public, provoke me, and just walk away that easily?

If it were that simple, I wouldn’t have called him back earlier.

However, some methods, I also don’t want to say here, especially for these thugs. There’s no need to reveal them; it wouldn’t mean anything but to make them either question or admire me.

"Yes, since Brother Xiao you’ve decided, then let’s leave it at that, that guy got lucky!"

Brother Fa nodded, stopped those who wanted to chase after the drunk, spoke to Xiao Yi, then scornfully looked at the direction where the drunk ran, spat, and then respectfully gestured to Xiao Yi again before taking his leave with his people.

"Let’s go too."

The meal was finished, the matter was resolved, the check was paid, and as Xiao Yi watched Brother Fa and his men and leave, he turned to look at Fatty Tang beside him who was still puzzled.

"Boss, why did you just let that guy go like that?"

Fatty Tang still found Xiao Yi’s actions earlier somewhat baffling.

"Hehe, don’t worry, I’ve already tampered with him. This guy, the next couple of days, he’s definitely not going to have an easy time," Xiao Yi replied with a smile.

Xiao Yi looked at Fatty Tang’s puzzled face, knowing that if he didn’t provide a satisfactory answer, the man might pester him endlessly, Besides, Fatty Tang was aware of a few things about him already, so he didn’t keep it hidden this time and chuckled.

"I knew it, Boss, you’re incredible, how did you tamper with him?"

Fatty Tang’s face lightened, then looked curiously at Xiao Yi.

"Just a simple trick," Xiao Yi laughed but didn’t elaborate to Fatty Tang. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to answer, but he felt that it was too hard to explain and unnecessary, mainly because it involved some control over True Qi, which wouldn’t be beneficial to explain to Fatty Tang.

"Oh, what will happen to that guy?"

Fatty Tang also knew many of Xiao Yi’s techniques were beyond his understanding, probably because they were tactics used by those skilled in martial arts. He didn’t push further but quickly changed the topic back to the drunkard.

"Nothing much, just a bit of pain, to teach him a lesson, hehe."

Xiao Yi chuckled. Although the drunk was annoying, he hadn’t committed unforgivable acts, at least not to Xiao Yi’s feeling, so there was no need to severely punish him. He merely wanted to teach him a lesson as he had said, to make him remember the events of today and not be so bold and arrogant relying on his might to bully ordinary people in the future. It was also a way of repaying the disrespect the man had shown earlier.

"Just a bit of pain, Boss? You are really merciful. If it were up to me, for such a jerk, I’d have beaten him hard and turned him into a pig’s head!"

Fatty Tang naturally did not understand the kind of pain Xiao Yi referred to. He, unlike Junjie and others, had never experienced the painful impact of Xiao Yi’s methods. Hearing Xiao Yi’s description, his face could not help displaying some disappointment.

He had no fondness for that drunkard.

Xiao Yi just chuckled, offering no explanation.

"By the way, Boss, what was that all about earlier? Do you know Brother Fa? How come he seemed so afraid of you?"

After ranting about the drunk, Fatty Tang suddenly remembered another matter, looking curiously at Xiao Yi, even more curious about this new question than about how Xiao Yi had tampered with the drunk. He really wanted to know.

The recent events had given him a roller-coaster-like sensation. The thugs, who had initially approached with a menacing air ready to beat him up, suddenly became as tame as kittens around him? It also felt incredibly surreal, like something out of a play.

He even began to use his imagination, wondering how Xiao Yi managed to subdue that gang boss, or if Xiao Yi, behind his ordinary school student façade, had some significant background like the protagonists in those novels, perhaps a big shot disguised as a student?

"It’s nothing special."

Xiao Yi looked at Fatty Tang, whose face was filled with curiosity and excitement like a curious baby, and couldn’t help but smile. He recounted the first time he met Brother Fa to him.

"Holy shit... Boss, the technique you practiced, it wasn’t the Shadowless Kick, was it?"

After hearing Xiao Yi’s story about how he gave each of them a kick, Fatty Tang’s mouth gaped open. The boss sure seemed to have a particular fondness for Leg Techniques, especially since it seemed that his previous conflicts with Gao Junjie also involved kicking.

"......!"

Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and glanced toward the nearby school gate, changing the subject. "What Shadowless Kick? Stop talking nonsense. Are you heading straight back to school, or are you going somewhere else?"

"Boss, are you going to see Li Ling now?"

Seeing Xiao Yi’s smile vanish, the excitement on Fatty Tang’s face faded too. After a moment of silence, he looked up and asked.

"Yeah, since I’ve promised you, I’ll have to take care of that first. I might not come back for classes this afternoon. Let the teacher know later," Xiao Yi nodded. He had already promised Fatty Tang, and it was something he had been meaning to do anyway, so it was a good time to sort it out.

"Boss, thank you!"

Fatty Tang looked at Xiao Yi gratefully and nodded vigorously, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the leave approved for you."

"From now on, let’s not talk like this anymore. Alright, I’m off."

Xiao Yi waved his hand, said goodbye to Fatty Tang, and then turned to walk in the opposite direction of the school across the street.

..........

In the private room of the restaurant just now.

Once Brother Fa returned to the private room and the door had closed, he felt as though a huge burden had been lifted off his shoulders, as if suddenly unloading a load weighing tons. Although Xiao Yi had already stated that he would not pursue the matter further, truth be told, it didn’t mean there was no pursuit.

But as long as Xiao Yi was in front of him, he could never truly relax completely.

"Boss, who exactly was that person? Why were you so afraid of him?"

The followers, unable to hold back any longer after being under Brother Fa’s pressure earlier and uncertain of the situation with Xiao Yi present, now saw Brother Fa’s demeanor and couldn’t help asking.

"Yeah, Brother Fa, he didn’t look so special!"

"Right, he seems skinny and feeble, feels like a single punch could knock him down."

"Boss, could he be some big shot’s kid? But it doesn’t look like it, considering his clothes, cheaper than ours, probably some flea market stuff!"

".........."

The others also started discussing, all puzzled. Some clever ones considered that Xiao Yi might be some high-profile person’s child or a rich second generation, but they immediately dismissed that thought.

"You know nothing!"

Brother Fa looked at his followers chattering among themselves, acting all high and mighty, and his lips curled in a cold smirk. "Whether he’s some big shot’s son or a rich second generation, I don’t know, but I tell you, this person is not someone you can afford to mess with. If you want to live, remember what I said, stay away from him as far as possible and respectfully call him Brother Xiao!"

After speaking, seeing the disbelief and various small gestures and expressions from his followers, Brother Fa continued to smirk, "My cousin, Brother Shitou, you all know him, right? His current pitiful state was caused by a single kick from him."

"Brother Feibiao, Brother Dao, Blond Brother, you know them, right? Tough guys, right? Even for me, fighting them is hard. Let me tell you, all of us together, and even brought over a dozen brothers, and ganged up on him alone. Do you know what happened? He kicked each one of us out several meters away with just one kick, like kicking a ball, with no extra movement at all!"

Hearing Brother Fa’s words, the followers, who initially sported dismissive expressions, finally changed their facial expressions and were completely shocked. They had never imagined that guy was such a formidable character!

They also couldn’t imagine how such a skinny person could be as ferocious as Brother Fa described!
