87: Chapter 87 Showdown with Mu Yun

"What!?"

"Raising the bid to 1,000 points in one go!?"

"Who bids by jumping 300 points all at once!?"

"It's No. 27 again! It's that Shen Xingchen again!"

"This guy has zero moral bottom line, don't let him trick us!"

"Right, right, right! He's definitely driving up the price on purpose so he can drop out as soon as we follow!"

United in their shared outrage, the bidders refused to give Shen Xingchen another chance to scam them.

Shen Xingchen nodded with satisfaction.

He had intentionally raised the price to 1,000 points this time.

Precisely to stop these people from bidding maliciously against him!

Raising the bid by 300 points at once threw the scene into total chaos, and for a moment, no one dared to follow.

The female auctioneer's eyes lit up. "thunder emperor armor going for 1,000 points once... twice, three times... Sold!"

This armor had failed to sell for several rounds.

Now it was finally sold by her... her commission for the month was secured.

In the auction seating, someone suddenly raised a doubt:

"Do you think this guy named Shen actually wants the armor?"

"...": Everyone was rendered speechless.

That's right! Shen Xingchen was thunder element to begin with, and he had just wanted the thunder origin fruit!

At this moment, Bidder No. 38 couldn't take it anymore. "Shen Xingchen, do you dare to come to the martial arena and fight me?"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "No. 38 turns out to be Muyun!"

"Who is Muyun? He isn't on the prodigy ranking!" someone asked.

"Bro, do you even surf the web? It's Muyun, one of the Four Great Simps of the Earth Element Academy!" someone replied.

"Oh, oh, you mean Simp Yun!"

"..."

Hearing the crowd's chatter, Muyun's expression darkened. He glared at Shen Xingchen. "If you win, I'll give you the thunder origin fruit for free!"

He offered the thunder origin fruit out of fear that Shen Xingchen wouldn't accept the challenge!

This time, he was determined to stand up for Junior Sister Qin.

That way, Junior Sister Qin would notice what a caring guy he was...

This statement blew up the crowd once again.

"Didn't Simp Yun advance to Rank 4 a few days ago?"

"Isn't it normal for a junior to reach Rank 4?"

"What rank is Shen Xingchen? Does anyone know?"

Shen Xingchen was surprised.

There was such a good deal?

He had just heard that Muyun had recently advanced to Rank 4.

How was this any different from giving him the thunder origin fruit on a silver platter?

He grinned. "Sure!"

...

"Extra, extra!"

"Simp Yun seeks justice for Junior Sister Qin, challenging Campus Wall scum Shen Xingchen..."

This news spread like wildfire.

Many people stopped to watch.

"What happened?"

"Who is Simp Yun? Who is Shen Xingchen?"

"You don't even know that!? Go look at the Campus Wall!"

"Oh, oh! You mean that senior on the Campus Wall with no bottom line! I know!"

"Are you going to watch?"

"Of course! Come on, let's go over right now!"

...

Qin Yueyan sat cross-legged in front of her dorm room's computer desk.

Staring at the discussions on the Campus Wall forum.

She had been silently paying attention to the development of this matter.

Just when she thought Shen Xingchen was condemned by everyone and had hit rock bottom,

a message popped up.

[Simp Yun strikes hard, determined to seek justice for Junior Sister Qin Yueyan!]

She was stunned at first, then overjoyed.

In this day and age, there really were such great altruists!

She originally thought ruining that guy's reputation was already the best outcome.

Now it seemed he could be made to look even more foolish!

She put on pretty makeup and wore a pure, floral mini skirt.

"Huanhuan, accompany me to the martial arena!"

...

Peak of Jingwu Mountain.

Xue Hezai's villa.

Bai Wanqing sat quietly in front of the desk, practicing ancient calligraphy.

She wore a plain dress today, her eyes focused, her face pure and clear.

The evening breeze gently stirred a strand of her hair, and the scattered glow of the sunset cast a stunning reflection on her face, creating a breathtaking scene.

Before long,

Bai Wanqing finished writing the last character and called toward the kitchen, "Xiaopang, go call Little Junior Brother for dinner!"

Xiaopang complained, "I told him yesterday! Little Junior Brother knows what time to come!"

Every once in a while, the academy would send someone to deliver fresh fruits and vegetables to Elder Xue.

Xue Hezai couldn't finish them all anyway, so the disciples usually ate together at the hilltop villa.

"Hurry up!" Bai Wanqing scolded playfully.

This Little Fatty only knew how to slack off!

Du Xiaoyue gave a resentful look. "Can't you just tell him on the phone?"

Bai Wanqing's gaze narrowed as she stared at Du Xiaoyue. "No way! How lonely would Little Junior Brother be walking up the mountain by himself?"

"..." Du Xiaoyue.

'Senior Sister, is it possible that walking down the mountain by myself is also lonely!?'

'You can't be this biased!'

Du Xiaoyue grumbled inwardly, 'When I was the youngest junior brother, why didn't I get this kind of treatment?'

Bai Wanqing curled her lip. "Are you as sweet-talking as Little Junior Brother?"

"..." Du Xiaoyue.

He had to concede on this point; when it came to coaxing girls, Little Junior Brother was ten miles ahead of him and Second Senior Brother.

Every time Shen Xingchen chatted with Bai Wanqing, he would make her giggle endlessly.

Bai Wanqing asked again, "Are you as handsome as Little Junior Brother?"

"..." Du Xiaoyue.

'How the hell am I supposed to compete with that? I give up!'

Du Xiaoyue unfastened his apron with a bitter face, put on his shoes, and prepared to leave.

Sigh!

He still had to listen to Senior Sister, or else something terrifying would happen...

"Hey, wait!" Bai Wanqing suddenly called out to him.

"What is it, Senior Sister?"

A flash of anger glinted in Bai Wanqing's eyes. "Quick, look at the Campus Wall! Someone is challenging Little Junior Brother!"

"Hmm?" Even Li Zhixing, who was playing video games, leaned over. "What happened?"

Soon,

the three of them finished reading through the whole incident.

Qin Yueyan?

Muyun?

Freshmen Guidance Match?

Why would Little Junior Brother serve as an instructor for the Freshmen Guidance Match?

Bai Wanqing's beautiful eyes fixed on Li Zhixing. "Care to explain this to me?"

Li Zhixing scratched his head guiltily. "That day... Little Junior Brother heard I was the instructor... and insisted on taking over to play around..."

Bai Wanqing was suspicious. "Is that really true?"

"Really!"

Bai Wanqing remained skeptical, but she couldn't verify it right away.

She continued, "Du Xiaoyue, hurry to the martial arena to check it out. Don't let Little Junior Brother suffer!"

"Got it!"

Du Xiaoyue nodded.

After saying that, he was about to head down the mountain.

Bai Wanqing urged, "Don't take the mountain path! Use the mountain peak teleportation array!"

"That costs 10 points..."

"Hurry up!"

...

Martial Arena No. 21.

By now, the spectator stands were packed with people.

Qin Yueyan was among them, in a great mood, showing her little canine tooth. "This villain is finally going to be brought to justice!"

The strength Shen Xingchen displayed during the guidance match was low Rank 3.

She had just inquired, and that Muyun was already Rank 4!

She figured Shen Xingchen would definitely suffer a bit this time.

If that Muyun moved swiftly enough and satisfied her... she might even consider being his girlfriend for a few months.

"The matter with the guidance match is finally going to have a satisfactory conclusion!"

"A person like him should be taught a good lesson, or else people will say our academy's discipline is flawed!"

"Heh heh! There's a good show to watch."

Everyone in the spectator stands held an attitude of watching a show.

On the stage, Shen Xingchen and Muyun stood on opposite sides, daggers drawn.

Muyun sneered. "You used your realm to suppress Junior Sister Qin Yueyan, so today I'll use my realm to suppress you!"

Shen Xingchen countered, "Are you sure the incident you know about is the truth?"

"What's the point of acting tough even now?"

"Don't let yourself be used as a tool while thinking you're some warrior of pure love."

Shen Xingchen looked toward the spectator area with a smile. "Don't you agree, Qin Yueyan?"

Qin Yueyan felt goosebumps all over from his gaze and didn't dare to speak.

Muyun got anxious. "You still dare to intimidate Junior Sister?"

"From now on, I will protect Junior Sister Qin Yueyan!"
