Chapter 10: The Duel at the Back Mountain – Keeping His Emotions Hidden
Upon seeing this, Wang Sheng immediately called Xiao Wu to stop.
"Xiao Wu, this is the second floor of the cafeteria. Many teachers eat here, so you can't just touch it."
After hearing this, Xiao Wu's face showed a look of frustration.
She was furious because she had just been beaten up by Yang Yuan.
Yang Yuan glanced indifferently at Xiao Chenyu and the others with his double pupils, and smiled meaningfully.
Just when I was worried about not having enough money, the person who was supposed to give me money came running over here like a puppy.
Yang Yuan turned his gaze to Xiao Chenyu, his tone flat and revealing no emotion.
"You're the leader of this group, right?"
As he spoke, chaotic light flickered in Yang Yuan's double pupils.
A sense of oppressive power emanated from his eyes.
Opposite him, Xiao Chenyu's body trembled slightly, his expression changed, and he looked over with surprise and suspicion.
"What kind of move was that just now?"
"Could it be a soul skill?" Xiao Chenyu thought to himself.
When the new face looked over, he suddenly felt an invisible pressure.
His subconscious made him ignore the latter's questioning tone and respond with a sound.
"It's me!"
"And who are you?"
Yang Yuan pointed to Wang Sheng and his group behind him.
"From now on, they..."
"I've got your back!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenyu's initial apprehension vanished.
"So, you're also a country bumpkin from Dormitory 7?"
He smiled contemptuously.
How much stronger can a freshman from Dormitory 7 be?
As a dignified level 11, one-ring battle spirit master, why would I be afraid of a freshman?
"How arrogant!"
Yang Yuan didn't seem angry; he just smiled slightly and turned to ask Wang Sheng.
"Where do you usually arrange to fight them?"
Wang Sheng was taken aback, then immediately understood Yang Yuan's thoughts, and his expression turned anxious.
"Boss, please don't act impulsively."
"Xiao Chenyu already obtained his first spirit ring some time ago. It would be too disadvantageous for us to fight them now."
Yang Yuan smiled faintly and offered a word of comfort.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just tell me where it is."
Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and replied, "It's usually in the woods behind the academy."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yuan turned to Xiao Chenyu and said:
"After dinner, meet me at the back of the academy."
"Oh right, whoever doesn't come is a coward."
After uttering these two sentences, Yang Yuan waved his hand dismissively.
"Let's go!"
After saying that, he ignored the expressions on Xiao Chenyu's and the others' faces and walked straight to an empty table not far away.
The people in Dormitory 7 behind him were stunned for a moment, then belatedly followed suit.
Everyone had only one thought in their minds.
This is a declaration of war?
Wang Sheng realized what was happening and looked at Yang Yuan with a shocked expression.
Didn't you just say you knew what you were doing?
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've got everything covered!"
After saying that, he sat down calmly.
In the distance, Xiao Chenyu and his group also came to their senses, each of them showing resentment.
"Boss Xiao, that new country bumpkin had some nerve, daring to declare war on us."
"Exactly, I think he's just asking for trouble."
"Wang Sheng is really useless; he actually let a newcomer steal his position as leader."
Xiao Chenyu was equally furious.
Yang Yuan's declaration of war was nothing short of a blatant provocation to him.
Don't they even know whose territory Notting College is?
"I haven't even gone looking for trouble with Dormitory 7 yet, and they've already come knocking on my door."
"If they want to fight, then let them fight!"
"Ling Feng, go and gather all the brothers who can fight. We'll meet at the back of the mountain after dinner."
Xiao Chenyu snorted coldly and gave an instruction to a small student beside him.
The latter nodded in agreement and then went to fetch people as Xiao Chenyu instructed.
At this moment, at the stairwell.
A thin figure walked up to the second floor and quickly noticed the people in Dormitory 7.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Tang San immediately stood up and greeted them respectfully.
"teacher!"
This sound immediately drew surprised glances from Wang Sheng and the others.
They all recognized Yu Xiaogang.
He's just a freeloader at the college.
He's almost fifty and still stuck at level twenty-nine; it seems he'll never be able to break through.
"Mistress, I didn't expect to see you here too."
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly to Tang San, a stiff smile on his face.
His gaze swept over the students in Dormitory 7, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
These work-study students usually eat on the first floor, so how come they have money to go up to the second floor today?
Tang San explained, "Yang Yuan is treating us today, so he brought us to the second floor of the cafeteria for dinner."
"Yang Yuan?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Yang Yuan, glanced at the latter, and a glint of "wisdom" flashed in his eyes.
He had already seen through Yang Yuan's little trick and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
This kid is trying to win over the other students in Dormitory 7 with this meal.
At such a young age, not only is he snobbish, but he is also incredibly shrewd and calculating.
If this kind of personality isn't corrected, he can forget about becoming Yu Xiaogang's disciple.
"Would you like to sit down and have something to eat with me, Master?" Yang Yuan asked with a smile.
Although in the original work, he disliked Yu Xiaogang the most.
However, he did not openly express his dislike for Yu Xiaogang.
I guess only a silly rabbit like Xiao Wu would wear her emotions on her sleeve.
Yu Xiaogang chuckled upon hearing this.
Is Yang Yuan trying to curry favor with him through this meal?
Or is she apologizing to him for what happened not long ago?
Trying to get rid of him with just one meal? He's really got a good plan.
Unfortunately, with his extraordinary wisdom, how could he not see through this little scheme?
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said, "You guys eat, I won't join in the fun."
After saying this, he looked at Tang San again.
"Mistress, come find me after you finish eating."
Tang San quickly replied, "Yes, teacher."
After Yu Xiaogang left, Tang San said apologetically, "I might not be able to stay with you guys for a while."
Wang Sheng and the others hesitated to speak.
After all, they had all witnessed Tang San's strength.
Although he couldn't defeat Yang Yuan, he could still fight Yang Yuan for more than ten rounds without a clear winner.
With him around, he can relieve a lot of pressure if a fight breaks out.
So Wang Sheng said, "Boss, how about we change the time and wait for Tang San to come back before we fight Xiao Chenyu and the others?"
Yang Yuan shook his head.
"No need for that. I'm fairly confident in dealing with that group."
Seeing this, Wang Sheng said nothing more.
It doesn't matter if I lose; at worst, I'll get a beating.
Soon after, dishes were served one after another.
Wang Sheng and the others stared wide-eyed, unable to resist swallowing hard.
How often do they have the opportunity to enjoy the food on the second floor of the cafeteria?
Seeing this, Yang Yuan waved his hand.
"Everyone, eat as much as you like!"
Xiao Wu muttered to herself in the crowd.
"How come there's not a single radish in this feast?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the dish that had just been served disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but shout and hurriedly reached out with her chopsticks.
"Eat slowly, leave some for me!"
