"Bookworm?" I grumbled, shaking my head. "Oh, come on…"
"Hey!" Fu Xi called out loudly. I realized he was about to announce to everyone who the Bookworm was, but I hurriedly clamped a hand over his mouth.
"Don't tell them," I whispered frantically, relaxing my grip when I saw him nod in acknowledgement. "Keep this a secret for now."
"Eh? Why?" Mu Zi Xing asked, surprised. Si Nan shook his head and sighed before he pointed at the crowd.
"That's why."
"Who is this bookworm!?" a group of people were shouting rowdily, drawing their weapons and waving them about frantically. "Find him!"
"If I find him, I'm going to tear him limb from limb!"
"How dare he ruin Senior Sister Zhou's achievement?! She was so close to achieving all seven star pillars and making history! That bastard!"
"Catch him! Tie him to stake and burn him!"
"Fucking bastard! This is his fault! How dare he ruin Senior Sister Zhou's achievements?! We must take revenge for him!"
