Chapter 365: Chapter 368: It Seems Like It’s Been Practiced

(Thanks to the old friend Yu Xiaofeng for the support and Wanwu Diaoling for the tip-off, thank you! I’m drenched in sweat, Wanwu is actually a helmsman now, I really didn’t expect it. My book actually has a helmsman, thousand thanks, Evil Young Master will definitely concoct a violent outburst soon!)

————————————————————————

Their attitude, the way they completely disregarded others, also gave him reason to believe that this wasn’t their first time doing this, and in the future, they would continue down this path.

He immediately dismissed the idea of speaking up to warn them; he knew that with such people, advice was utterly useless. There was no point in engaging in such a fruitless endeavor.

But at that moment, he still hadn’t wanted to take such drastic action, not until he heard their comments once more. That’s when he finally decided to employ a more severe method!

If it had not been him today but another ordinary student, they would have likely had to just accept their misfortune; worse, with one wrong word, they could have been mercilessly beaten up by them. From their demeanor, he saw the same kind of vile nature that typified scions like Gao Junjie, Li Ziming, and Li Zijie!

This was something he could not tolerate.

"You......"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, everyone finally snapped back to reality, their faces filled with terror as they looked at Xiao Yi. Seeing him approach, they all swiftly backed away in panic, as if what stood before them was not a handsome youth, but a terrifying devil from Hell.

Especially those who had just spoken out, mocked, and roared rudely at Xiao Yi, now looked even more frightened, sweat pouring down their backs, their legs trembling non-stop!

What just happened was too shocking!

To them, it felt almost like a dream. Some of them even now couldn’t come to grips with the reality!

One kick of the soccer ball sent a person flying and knocking them unconscious. Wasn’t this a scene that could only occur in novels, on TV, or in dreams?

Even in the most exaggerated kung fu soccer shows, it wasn’t this far-fetched, just spitting some blood without losing consciousness!

What they found even harder to believe was that the one who had kicked the soccer ball was not a broad and fearsome seven-foot-tall man, nor the invincible King Kong Leg from kung fu soccer movies, but the slim, refined-looking youth before them, who appeared just like any other student from their school!

His leg that had kicked the ball didn’t seem special. Although he was wearing pants and one couldn’t fully see the entire leg, a simple glance was enough to tell that his leg was thinner and appeared weaker than those of any of them.

Yet the bloody reality before them stood as a stark contrast; it was not a magic trick, not just some bluff. Their "Third Brother", Third Young Master, "Old Three", was now lying on the ground with blood spilling from his mouth. Many had touched him with their own hands, his blood more genuine than pearls!

"What... what do you want to do!"

After a while, one of them, fearfully, managed to utter a complete sentence.

"You don’t need to be so tense. I’m not interested in taking each of you down one by one. I just have two things to tell you. First, if you don’t want anything to happen to your companion, you better quickly take out your phones and dial 120."

Xiao Yi’s mouth curled into a mocking smile as he glanced at the group of youngsters who had just been shouting wildly and were now ashen-faced, devoid of any color in their soccer uniforms. He gave a casual look to the long-haired youth beside him, knowing full well the force of his kick. From the boy’s complexion, he could roughly discern the severity of the injury and knew that if no immediate action was taken, it was hard to say what could happen, especially given these utterly clueless boys who might bungle with him any further.

Although he was greatly dissatisfied with their arrogance and their irresponsible attitude towards others, wanting to teach them a deeper lesson, he had not yet considered taking a life. If something unexpected occurred, he would inevitably face some trouble.

"Quick, dial 120, hurry, make it fast!"

As Xiao Yi’s words ended, it was like waking sleepwalkers. They were swiftly reminded, and some of them finally came to their senses and started dialing 120 in a flustered manner.

Xiao Yi said nothing further, just quietly watching their panicked behavior with a mocking smile on his lips.

Finally, they completed the process, with trembling voices they reported the address to the hospital and described the situation.

After putting down the phone, their eyes once again nervously turned towards Xiao Yi. Although Xiao Yi had just said that he wouldn’t take them down one by one, they still couldn’t help but feel tense inside.

As long as Xiao Yi didn’t leave, they felt no sense of security whatsoever.

"The second thing I want to say is, please refrain from playing soccer outside of the designated fields in the future, especially in places with heavy pedestrian traffic. You don’t want to be kicked without reason, and nobody else wants to be injured by you. Your life is valuable, but so are the lives of others!"

Xiao Yi gave them a nonchalant glance.

"If I see you playing soccer in public places, especially on our Z University’s campus roads, I’ll kick one of you each time I catch you doing it!"

Xiao Yi had never thought that speaking reason to this group of people would have much effect. Perhaps today, or in the coming days, the fate of the man with shoulder-length hair might serve as a warning to them, but humans, especially people like them, are very forgetful.

To them, the most effective thing was actually the last sentence he said. He believed that this sentence would cast a shadow in their minds more or less directly.

As for the reasons, he had just mentioned them in passing.

Although, in truth, such principles should have been taught by their teachers back in elementary school, and most people would understand them, he believed that the group before him was not likely to be among that majority.

Having said that, he scanned the group, then slowly turned and walked away.

"Boss, which department is this guy from?"

Watching Xiao Yi’s receding figure gradually disappear, everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had shed a heavy burden and regained their freedom. For a long time, no one spoke, as if savoring the air of fresh freedom, until Xiao Yi’s figure had completely vanished down the campus road ahead. The first person to recover his senses then turned, his voice trembling slightly, and looked at the burly young man beside him.

"How should I know? If you ask me, who do I ask?"

The burly young man glared at him coldly and said discontentedly.

"Then... what do we do now?"

The other young man, blocked by the burly one, also felt his question was a bit stupid. His face colored slightly, and after a moment’s pause, he asked again, "Are we just going to let this matter go?"

Hearing his question, the other young men also turned their gazes toward the burly one.

"For now, let’s wait for the ambulance to arrive and see how Third Young Master is. Once he wakes up, we can make a plan," the burly young man said thoughtfully, glancing at the long-haired young man lying unconscious. He only spared a glance in the direction where Xiao Yi had disappeared, but a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "However, all of you, keep an eye out for any news about that kid. Dig him out first, then we can plan. Humph, daring to threaten us, we must make him realize our strength eventually!"

"But, boss, his kick seemed really powerful, like... he’s been trained..."

A younger boy beside expressed his fear hesitantly.

"Humph, what does it matter if he’s been trained? We’re not going to fight him fair and square. Besides, even if he’s trained, can his leg be tougher than weapons?" the burly young man snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a sinister glint, "And it’s not like we don’t have anyone who’s also trained. Being trained doesn’t make one invincible. But for now, try your best not to provoke him, understand? We’ll talk after Third Young Master wakes up!"

"Got it."

The group of young men all nodded their heads in agreement. Even if he hadn’t emphasized that last point, they all understood that the terrifying fellow was a dreadful presence in their eyes; who would dare provoke him?

..................

Since he had promised Mr. Ma this morning, as soon as the class in the morning was over, Xiao Yi declined Zeng Xiaoxiao’s invitation to dine together. He hastily ate something in the school’s cafeteria and then, less than a day since the last visit, once again rushed to the Provincial People’s Hospital, causing little Xiaoxiao to pout in displeasure, leaving Xiao Yi with a mixture of helplessness and a wry smile.

This time, having not called Mr. Ma in advance nor notified Dr. Zhang and the others, Xiao Yi did not receive the same grand reception as last time when he arrived at the Provincial People’s Hospital.

However, for Xiao Yi, this actually felt more comfortable. The enthusiastic reception from the last visit had made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Xiao Yi’s mindset was one of considerable composure. As for who Mr. Ma’s relative was that he mentioned, Xiao Yi didn’t bother to speculate. Such a matter seemed meaningless to him, as he didn’t know much about Mr. Ma and was not concerned about it.

But when he knocked on the door of the ward and saw Qian Fuchen standing inside, his expression involuntarily became utterly stunned. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
