61: Do you look down on me?
“That’s really impressive. If Boss hadn’t stepped in, the Wind Wolf Lion would have run off long ago, and Senior Wang wouldn't have had a chance to catch up.”
“Right, right. Speaking of which, Senior Wang has been gone for a while. Why isn’t he back yet?”
“Not just Senior Wang, I haven’t seen Little Long either. He’s been in the restroom for ages.”
Not long ago, they had just found a campsite when a Tier 2 Demonic Beast, a Wind Wolf Lion, charged at them.
Fortunately, there was a senior student present, a One-star Dou Master, whose strength was evenly matched with the Wind Wolf Lion.
With their numbers, they managed to inflict some damage on the Wind Wolf Lion, which then prepared to escape.
At a critical moment, Bai Shan struck the Wind Wolf Lion’s leg, and that senior student decided to pursue it. After all, a Wind Wolf Lion’s entire body was valuable, and its Demonic Core could be exchanged for nearly a thousand mission points at the Mission Hall.
Listening to their conversation, Bai Shan couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
“What is Wang Ming playing at? He better not mess up my plans because of a Wind Wolf Lion.”
Previously, Bai Shan had received news that Du Chaoping seemed to have discovered the location of a hidden cave.
Ordinary caves didn't appear out of nowhere; most were man-made. No one could guarantee whether there were treasures inside.
As the saying goes, treasures go to the capable.
Bai Shan and Du Chaoping were already at odds, and after getting angry with Lin Xiu a while ago, he originally wanted to cause trouble for Lin Xiu, but that guy wasn't in the Academy.
Thinking that Du Chaoping had contact with Lin Xiu, Bai Shan prepared to find him to see if he could find out Lin Xiu’s location. As for the cave's treasures, that was a secondary matter.
Therefore, Bai Shan brought a senior student along to add a layer of insurance.
“Boss! Boss!”
A shout came from a distance. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, watching a young man rushing over quickly.
“Little Long, did a Demonic Beast bite off your balls in the restroom? Why are you so flustered?” Someone joked.
“If it weren't for something important, I’d smash your mouth in.”
Giving a middle finger, the young man looked at Bai Shan and panted, “Boss, I saw Lin Xiu.”
“Are you sure? Did you see wrong?” Bai Shan suddenly stood up.
“Really? Is it true?”
“Little Long, don’t lie to Boss.”
The others also got up.
The young man said seriously, “No, Boss and I have seen Lin Xiu in the dormitory. I wouldn’t be mistaken.”
“Let’s go, let’s go! Hurry and catch him.”
“In the Academy, no one dares to not give Boss Face. We must teach him a lesson today!”
“Exactly. No wonder we couldn’t find him in the Academy these past few days. He must have been scared, so he hid in the forest.”
Before Bai Shan could speak, the others were already indignant, expressing their attitudes.
A hint of surprise and delight appeared on Bai Shan’s Face. He hadn't expected to run into Lin Xiu in the forest.
That day in the dormitory, if he hadn't been in the wrong, he would have definitely taught Lin Xiu a lesson.
Everyone in that dormitory had been taught a lesson by him. If Lin Xiu hadn't been lucky enough to be absent, he would have also been taught a lesson.
Besides wanting to teach him a lesson, Bai Shan had another urgent reason to find Lin Xiu.
It was still the problem of the White Carp. Unable to get fish from Lin Xiu, Bai Shan didn't give up and arranged for many people to fish day and night. Finally, someone lucky managed to catch one.
However, this frequency couldn't compare to Lin Xiu's. According to Bai Shan's inquiries, Lin Xiu could almost guarantee one White Carp on his hook every day.
By the lake, when it came to fishing for White Carp, many people mentioned Lin Xiu with admiration.
“Little Long, how did you see him?” Bai Shan didn't rush forward.
The young man briefly described what he had seen.
Bai Shan immediately said, “It seems he’s not with Du Chaoping and the others. Let’s go, take me there!”
The others also wanted to follow, but Wang Ming, who was chasing the Wind Wolf Lion, hadn't returned yet.
Worried that Wang Ming wouldn't find anyone when he returned, Bai Shan only took the young man and one other person.
“Boss, it’s safer with more people. We’re worried about you.” Someone advised.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shan slapped him hard on the head.
“Teaching a freshman a lesson, and you’re still worried about me? Do you know what you just said?”
Bai Shan’s expression darkened, somewhat angry. “Are you looking down on me, Bai Shan?”
“I’m sorry, Boss, I said the wrong thing.” The person who was hit said in a low voice.
“Next time, I don’t want to hear similar words.”
Bai Shan was already uncomfortable about losing Face to a freshman, and now his subordinates were even worried that he would suffer a loss against a freshman.
Seeing Bai Shan angry, the others dared not mention it again.
As the young man led the way for Bai Shan, he silently prayed for Lin Xiu in his heart.
He had seen Bai Shan angry before. An enraged Bai Shan was terrifying, and the scene would often be filled with bloodshed.
“Poor guy, of all people to provoke, he dared to provoke Boss Bai Shan. Not to mention in the Outer Academy, even if you enter the Inner Academy, you won’t have a good outcome.”
The young man muttered to himself.
The distance of one or two hundred meters was not far. By the time the young man led Bai Shan there, Lin Xiu was still dissecting the Crimson Tiger Beast.
A faint smell of blood wafted in the air, and blood flowed from the Crimson Tiger Beast’s body into the ground.
Footsteps came from his ears, and Lin Xiu was surprised. Had he encountered someone?
Stopping his cutting motion, Lin Xiu stood up.
He saw three people running from a distance, moving very fast. As they got closer, he could finally see their Faces clearly.
“Bai Shan?” Lin Xiu was slightly startled.
“I finally found you, Lin Xiu.”
With a few leaps, Bai Shan, leading the other two, was the first to arrive less than five meters from Lin Xiu. “Do you think you can escape me by fleeing outside the Academy?”
“Me? Escaping you?” Lin Xiu was confused. “Is your brain not good from a young age?”
“Hmph, you’re putting on quite a show.”
Bai Shan extended his hand, pointing at Lin Xiu. “Give me your method for catching White Carp. If I’m in a good mood, I can forgive your attitude towards me in the dormitory.”
“You want me to forgive you?” Lin Xiu couldn't help but laugh. When the tiger is not in the mountain, the monkey proclaims himself king.
Although Xiao Yan hadn't come to Canaan Academy during this period, Bai Shan did have a bit of a protagonist-like aura and was very famous in the Academy.
But he didn't even care about the true protagonist, so how could he care about you?
In Lin Xiu’s eyes, Bai Shan was more like an ugly sycophant, fawning over Xun'er, and getting no benefits.
“Let’s see how long you can keep up your tough talk.”
Bai Shan’s Face was ashen. This was the first time he had been so ignored. As soon as his voice fell, he charged directly at Lin Xiu.
“If you wanted to fight, you should have said so earlier.” Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow and met him.
Bai Shan decided to teach Lin Xiu a memorable lesson. He mobilized the Dou Qi in his body, clenched his right fist, and punched out with force.
“Mountain Quaking Qi!”
His Face somewhat contorted, Bai Shan shouted loudly.
“Boss is really angry. He’s using a Profound Rank Intermediate Dou Skills right from the start!”
“That guy named Lin Xiu is going to be finished now. Even a Tier 2 Wind Wolf Lion would limp after taking a hit like that. If it hits him, at the very least his bones will be broken.”
The two who followed saw Bai Shan make his move and couldn't help but be startled, their eyes twitching.
The Wind Wolf Lion’s thighs were thick and muscular, definitely stronger than Lin Xiu’s thin arms.
Now Lin Xiu was actually trying to block Bai Shan’s punch with his palm. They couldn't bear to watch.
“A freshman is just a freshman. To actually dare to block with a palm, Lin Xiu, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
A fierce glint flashed in Bai Shan’s eyes.
