Chapter 45: You're blocking my way!

  "He did mention it before, but you also know that he's a moody person, unpredictable in his likes and dislikes. I've had my share of lessons from him these past few days. If I had the choice, I'd really want to go to Elite Academy." Xiao Yun shook her head, although Mu Tian'en had previously mentioned wanting to take him as an apprentice and teach him the great way of music medicine, Xiao Yun didn't have any intention of becoming Mu Tian'en's disciple.

  "Isn't that right, Master Shibo wants to take you as his apprentice and you still refuse?" Both Luo Qing and the second girl were extremely shocked, even Le Zong couldn't help but look down on him. How high was Xiao Yun's vision?

  "Every day chopping firewood and carrying water, cooking meals, if it were you, you would also refuse." Xiao Yun rolled her eyes, these two girls really thought this was a good job.

  ——

  "Big brother, look!"

  At the corner, three people walked over with laughter and conversation. Xiao Ming suddenly stopped in his tracks, pointing far away at Xiao Yun, and said to Qin Yu beside him.

  Following Xiao Ming's pointing direction, Qin Yu's eyebrows furrowed instantly, and his face turned somewhat unpleasant. If it were in the past, he would have definitely gone up to ridicule Xiao Yun or even taken action. However, after experiencing the Elite Conference, Xiao Yun had made a stunning display and was now part of the Elite Institute, no longer just a lowly person. Qin Yu had come to realize that Xiao Yun was not someone to be trifled with. At this moment, as they met on the narrow road, he didn't know whether to approach or temporarily avoid him.

  "What's wrong, Second Brother?" A disciple with an eight-character mustache, looking like he was in his thirties, slightly chubby, saw Qin Yu stop in his tracks and looked puzzled.

  Qin Yu's eyes rolled, and his chin pointed far away at Xiao Yun, who was chatting with Lin Chu Yin and the other two women. "Wang Shixiong, have you seen that person? The fourth place winner of this Elite Conference almost suppressed my senior brother."

  "Is it him?"

  Ba Zhi Hu followed Qin Yu's gaze and looked over, sweeping a glance at Xiao Yun from afar. A hint of unusual color flashed across his eyebrows. Although he was a disciple of the Elite Academy, he was already over thirty years old and didn't qualify to participate in the Elite Conference. However, regarding this dark horse that emerged during the conference, he had heard something about it.

  Qin Yu nodded, "I had dealings with him before. This person is extremely arrogant and looks down on the Elite Academy as if no one is worthy of his attention. At that time, he was just a lowly servant and not even an outer courtyard disciple, yet he dared to lay hands on me."

  "Huh?"

  After hearing Qin Yu's words, Bazi Hu's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was very familiar with this senior brother's temper, who was stubborn and not easily swayed. With just a few words of encouragement from him, he would surely go and cause trouble for Xiao Yun.

  Qin Yu let out a soft sigh, "Forget it, Brother Wang. Let's take another route. We don't want him to see us, or he'll definitely make things difficult for us on purpose."

  Xiao Ming almost instantly understood Qin Yu's intention and immediately began to persuade him in a subtle tone, "Qin Shixiong, you can't be serious, actually afraid of a newcomer to the Elite Academy? I'm not even going to mention me, but Wang Shixiong is an old-timer at the Elite Academy. No matter how arrogant he is, when facing Wang Shixiong, he still has to call him 'Shixiong' obediently. What's the logic in having a senior brother take a detour when meeting a junior brother? If this gets out, won't people laugh?"

  Qin Yu heard this, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes. "Alas, he made a big show at the Elite Conference, and now he's entered the Elite Academy. He'll probably be even more arrogant. I'm doing this for your own good, Wang Shixiong. Let's take another route!"

  "Hmmph!"

  That eight-character beard really fell for it, Qin Yu and Xiao Ming exchanged words, instantly igniting his anger. He didn't expect Qin Yu and the other to join forces to deceive him. With a cold snort, he said, "I'd like to see how arrogant he is!"

  As he spoke, he completely ignored Qin Yu's 'dissuasion' and strode towards Xiao Yun who was standing in the distance with an air of fury.

  "Big brother, this move is really clever!"

  As soon as Bazi Hu left, Xiao Ming immediately gave Qin Yu a thumbs up and a sly smile appeared on his face.

  Qin Yu's face revealed a hint of an arc, and his eyebrows showed a cold light, "This kid is indeed extremely lucky!"

  Xiao Ming heard this and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes, "I'm afraid he can't handle it!"

  "Let Wang Tong that fool deal with him, let's go!" Qin Yu withdrew his gaze and turned around to leave decisively with Xiao Ming.

  ——

  "Are you Xiao Yun?"

  Xiao Yun stood under a camphor tree in the courtyard, chatting with Lin Chuyin, when a not-so-friendly voice came from behind.

  Turning around, a fat man was staring at himself with anger, Xiao Yun was taken aback for a moment, and even Lin Chuoyin's two women were puzzled, and they all gathered their eyes on the eight-character beard.

  Beware of strangers!

  This was Xiao Yun's first feeling, but he could be sure that he didn't know this person at all. His gaze swept over and saw two familiar silhouettes in the distance corner. Xiao Yun seemed to understand something.

  "It's indeed Xiao Mou, I don't know what advice Brother Shifu has?" Xiao Yun furrowed his brow and said.

  Wang Tong was taken aback, Qin Yu had said that Xiao Yun was so unbearable, he had rushed over in a fit of rage, but when Xiao Yun asked him like this, he didn't know how to respond.

  "Hmm, you're blocking my way." Wang Tong raised his head, took a step closer to Xiao Yun, puffed out his chest, and looked condescending.

  As soon as Wang Tong's voice fell, the faces of Xiao Yun and the other two didn't look good. The yard was so big, they were standing under the tree, how could they block his way? This was clearly looking for trouble!

  Xiao Yun's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he pointed to the side and said, "Senior brother, the road is over there!"

  Wang Tong also knew that this reason was too far-fetched, but thinking of Qin Yu and Xiao Ming still watching from behind, he couldn't lose face in front of his junior brother, so he said, "I like walking here, can't I?"

  "You're really unreasonable, the road is clearly over there, but you insist on walking here, are you trying to climb a tree!" Luo Qing was a straightforward person and couldn't bear to watch, so she directly and bluntly shouted at Wang Tong.

  "Wang Tong's face sank, and he turned to look at Luo Qing. Seeing that Luo Qing was a woman, he wanted to erupt in anger but forcibly restrained himself. 'I won't bother with someone like you,' he said."

  After finishing speaking, he turned to Xiao Yun again. Luo Qing was unhappy and said, "What do you mean by this? Don't you look down on us women?"

  "I, you..."

  Wang Tong was momentarily stunned, having spent years in the mountains and rarely seeing women, let alone speaking to one as fierce as Luo Qing. With just a few words from her, he lost all his composure, his hands and feet unable to find their place, his face flushing bright red.

  Xiao Yun couldn't help but feel a little amused, and with some teasing in her eyes, she looked at Wang Tong, very much wanting to see how this fat guy who would blush every time he saw a woman would handle the situation.

  "Wang Shixiong, Xiao Shixiong, what's going on here?" Just then, a voice came from the side.

  Turning his head around, the newcomer was Meng Xiaobao. Xiao Yun shrugged and said, "This brother says I'm blocking his way!"

  Meng Xiaobao turned his head, and the expression on his face also looked a bit strange. He twisted his head to look at Wang Tong, with a puzzled expression, "Wang Shixiong, is there some kind of misunderstanding?"

  "Do you know each other?" Wang Tong was taken aback for a moment.

  Meng Xiaobao nodded.

  It seems that Meng Xiaobao and this fat brother are acquainted, but the conflict is intensifying. Xiao Yun Dao said, "This senior fellow, you and I have never met before, nor do I recall offending you in any way. I think you must have been instigated by something to come looking for trouble with me?"

  "I...". Wang Tong's words got stuck.

  Xiao Yun pointed to a corner of the courtyard and said, "Look, those two guys have already run away!"

  Wang Tong turned his head to look, and suddenly his face changed. Qin Yu and Xiao Ming were nowhere to be seen. At this time, even if he was stupid, he could realize that he had been fooled by someone.

  Meng Xiaobao couldn't help but shake his head, and patted Wang Tong's shoulder with his hand. "Wang Shixiong, it seems you've been used as a gun."

  "These two bastards!" At this point, thinking back and forth again, Qin Yu and Xiao Ming were obviously using him. When Wang Tong heard the words, his face turned extremely ugly, and he was momentarily confused, falling into their trap.

  Meng Xiaobao smiled and said, "Wang Shixiong, they shouldn't be far away yet, let's hurry up and chase after them."

  Wang Tong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, then turned around and ran away.
