Chapter 654: Plank, Be Careful!

Feeling the flux of people on the school path, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but display a faint smile on his face. It seemed like, in that instant, all the troubles that had been entangling him over the past few days had vanished—whether it was the relentless pestering by Li Zhengyi or the mysterious schemer behind the scenes. This school always seemed to possess some special energy that could calm his troubled and worried soul.

It was a mysterious feeling, one Xiao Yi could not explain. He wasn’t sure if it was the youthful laughter and energy of his peers or the serene and tranquil atmosphere emanated by the school buildings that affected him.

However, just as Xiao Yi briefly set everything aside and immersed himself in that tranquility, his expression suddenly changed.

A feeling of being watched completely disrupted this rare moment of peace and tranquility.

Xiao Yi paused slightly, his gaze flickering almost imperceptibly toward a diagonal angle ahead, his lips curling into a faint, cold smile.

Ever since that wonderful sensation that day, his Spiritual Sense had become increasingly sharp. He had felt a subtle sensation of being watched as he stepped out of the classroom, but he hadn’t paid it much attention, and the feeling soon vanished. But now, the moment the other’s gaze was turned towards him, he finally confirmed that the feeling of being watched was not an illusion.

In an instant, he pinpointed the source of that surveilling gaze, spotting the two people following and watching him from behind.

They were practically asking to be killed!

A chill flickered in Xiao Yi’s eyes, and his lips carried a cold smile as his steps seemingly unconcerned, continued slowly forward.

"Boss, it’s quiet up ahead. Let’s make a move there," one of them suggested.

The two men, who were trailing from a distance, didn’t notice Xiao Yi’s momentary shift in expression. The brief duration where Xiao Yi stopped and turned his head appeared entirely natural to an outsider.

Seeing that Xiao Yi was heading towards a more secluded corner upfront, expressions of delight unknowingly surfaced on their faces. The shorter of the two men even grew visibly excited, his eyes gleaming with impatient fervor.

"Hmm."

The leader gazed at Xiao Yi’s receding figure, moving towards an increasingly less crowded corner. A thought flashed in his mind momentarily, but he quickly dismissed it, feeling that he was being overly cautious. A flicker of coldness passed through his eyes as he nodded firmly.

"Hey, kid, stop!"

As Xiao Yi reached the back of the school’s laboratory building, where hardly anyone could be seen, the two men could no longer restrain themselves. The shorter man, not waiting for his leader, quickly caught up and called out sternly.

"Gentlemen, are you calling me? May I ask what the matter is?"

Hearing the shout from behind, Xiao Yi’s lips curved slightly upward in a subtle arc, a trace of mocking amusement appearing in his eyes. He slowly halted his steps, turned around, and looked at the men approaching with a faint smile on his face.

"Hmm?"

Watching Xiao Yi turn around, expressions of confusion appeared on the two men’s faces. They expected Xiao Yi to stop and turn around, but his nonchalant expression seemed somewhat off.

He was smiling? Was he really smiling?

Shouldn’t he be panicked and frightened?

"Kid, other than you, is there anyone else here?"

After a brief moment of surprise, the shorter man quickly regained his composure, not overthinking it. Hearing Xiao Yi talk, his eyes narrowed, he snapped coldly.

"It appears not,"

Xiao Yi turned his head, surveyed his surroundings, then looked back, lightly tapping his nose with his finger, his lips bearing a mocking grin. "Then, may I know why you two have stopped me? If I’m not mistaken, I don’t believe I know you both?"

"What matter?"

The shorter man, upon hearing Xiao Yi’s question, let out a cold laugh, his eyes disclosing a hint of ferocity, his voice taking on a more sinister tone, "Boss calls you, of course, there’s a good reason."

"A good reason?"

Xiao Yi appeared completely oblivious to the threatening tone in the man’s voice and missed the fierce sneer on his face. His own smile grew even more intense.

Looking at Xiao Yi’s smile, from the beginning, the moment he saw that smile on Xiao Yi’s face, the boss had felt something was amiss. Suddenly, his brow twitched, and a bad feeling arose.

Could this young man really be a master?

"Indeed, a great surprise!"

As the slightly shorter man finished speaking, his figure seemed to transform into a fierce tiger, and he pounced toward Xiao Yi, his hands forming fists, aiming at Xiao Yi’s face from two different angles.

Watching the man lunging over, Xiao Yi stood completely still, as if frozen by fear, just standing there. However, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes,

The man next to him looked up and caught that strange expression in the corner of Xiao Yi’s eyes. A strong bad premonition welled up, and he couldn’t help but blurt out, "Plank, be careful!"

However, his warning came too late, or perhaps the slightly shorter man had simply not taken his warning to heart.

The man’s figure did not stop at all as he charged forward. His fists landed solidly and without any surprises on the "petrified" Xiao Yi.

Only...

None of the scenarios he imagined happened, such as Xiao Yi searching for his teeth on the ground, a bloodied face, spitting blood, and so on,

All that accompanied the punches was a crisp "crack"—a clear, bone-shattering noise, without even the sound of fists hitting a body!

"This..."

The man next to him didn’t see the expected scene, nor did he see any injury on his companion. Seeing his companion hit Xiao Yi so smoothly, he was dumbfounded for a moment.

This was completely beyond his expectations!

Back then, although he didn’t know what schemes Xiao Yi had or what tactics, he instinctively felt something was terribly wrong—this intuition had been honed over many years of dodging bullets and bloody battles, and it had never been wrong.

Yet, the situation before his eyes did not seem to add up at all.

Could his intuition have been wrong?

The man thought with a puzzled expression.

But no matter what, it was good that Plank was fine, with no surprises.

The man breathed a sigh of relief, smiling relievedly while watching the scene before him, although surprised that his intuition had been wrong, from his perspective, it was still good news.

He must have been mistaken just now; he should have been mistaken. Looking at this frail-looking young man, what could he possibly do? It seemed he had been away from the battlefield for too long and had become increasingly timid and sensitive.

The man looked at Xiao Yi’s lean figure and the smile on his face, which broadened.

However, his smile had not fully spread before it once again froze.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a shrill cry, the slightly shorter man, who just punched Xiao Yi, collapsed softly to the ground, his eyes filled with immense fear as he looked at Xiao Yi, as if the person standing before him was not a harmless, scholarly student but a heinous, terrifying devil from Hell.

Xiao Yi ignored the man crumpled on the ground, merely lifting his hand lightly to touch the spot on his cheek where he had been hit, as if to soothe the pain from the punch, or perhaps to wipe off the bacteria from the other’s hand.

After gently touching the spot where he had been hit, he lowered his hand and looked at the man before him with a seemingly harmless smile.

"Not good!"

The moment Xiao Yi’s gaze fell on him, the man almost instantly felt an immense sense of danger. Almost instinctively, without hesitation, he turned and ran back the way he came, sprinting as fast as he could.

Leave this place!

In his mind, there was only one thought, no other considerations, not even his companion. His intuition told him that he must get as far away from this place, from that person, as possible!

He had not felt such intuition in a very long time, the last time being in the jungles of Vietnam, facing stormy bloodbaths, where he almost lost his life.

He believed his intuition was absolutely correct, although he really could not understand how the young man had managed to hit his companion, nor could he fathom how someone who seemed so frail and harmless could be so formidable!(To be continued.
