The three young men left and returned to a house.
"How was it? Did you find someone who can fish White Carp?" Just as they entered the house, an eager voice came from inside.
A young man in white stood in the center of the room, staring at the three.
"Big brother, we found someone, but he's unwilling to help." The young man lowered his head, afraid to meet the other's eyes.
"500 Task Points can't buy a White Carp?" Bai Shan felt incredulous. "Who is it? I'll go talk to him myself."
"He's a new student, very arrogant. I've found out about him. I'll go talk to him tomorrow." The young man hastily replied.
"What's his name?" Bai Shan pressed for more information.
"Lin Xiu," the young man replied.
"Lin Xiu? That name sounds somewhat familiar," Bai Shan paused.
"Big brother, didn't you forget? The guy we taught a lesson to a few days ago, there seems to be someone named Lin Xiu in the dormitory," another person reminded inside the house.
Bai Shan looked at him, "It couldn't be that coincidental, could it?"
"I'm not sure about that," the person shrugged.
"Xiao Long, no matter what method you use tomorrow, I must see the White Carp before dinner!" Bai Shan walked up to the three.
The three nodded in agreement.
"Don't disappoint me." Patting Xiao Long on the shoulder, Bai Shan gestured for them to leave.
These days, Bai Shan had used various means but had little information about Xun'er.
All he knew was that Xiao Xun'er seemed to have someone she liked, a childhood sweetheart named Xiao Yan.
But at this moment, Xiao Yan was not at the Academy.
Other than that, Xiao Xun'er had no hobbies. Apart from practicing, she rarely went anywhere.
Since their brief encounter that day, Bai Shan felt like he was enchanted, as if his soul had been drawn away by Xiao Xun'er, thinking about her all the time.
Growing up, Bai Shan had never experienced this feeling towards a woman before. He was confused, unable to understand.
"Perhaps this is love," Bai Shan felt like he had met the woman destined for him in this lifetime.
It was said that Xiao Xun'er loved eating White Carp fish meat very much. The first smile she showed at the Academy was when she ate White Carp fish meat.
...
"Lin Xiu? Is it you?"
Not long after walking away, Lin Xiu was stopped again, standing in front of him were five people.
"Do you want me to fish for White Carp?" Lin Xiu countered.
Just gone for less than a week, how did it seem like his reputation at the Academy had suddenly skyrocketed?
"Don't change the subject, I'll ask you directly, are you Lin Xiu?" the other person spoke in a low voice.
"It's me," Lin Xiu nodded.
"Then we haven't got the wrong person." Without further ado, several people surrounded Lin Xiu, pushing and pulling him in a certain direction.
Because in the Academy, Lin Xiu wasn't worried about his life being in danger.
And he was also curious about what was going on. Half persuaded, half coerced, he followed along with the others to the destination.
Outside a small grove, just as Lin Xiu stood firm, two young men emerged from the trees.
"Do you know why we're looking for you?" the youth in gray-white clothes walked slowly up to Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu remained expressionless, shaking his head slightly.
"I'm Luo Bu," the youth's face darkened, "Xiao Yu's pursuer. In the entire outer courtyard, many people know that I'm pursuing her!"
"Does it have anything to do with me?" Lin Xiu vaguely recalled him upon hearing his name.
This guy had followed the team to Wu Tan City for recruitment.
In the book, Luo Bu had once arranged for someone to teach Xiao Yan a lesson because Xiao Yu had walked arm in arm with Xiao Yan, making him jealous.
In the end, not only did it fail, but Xiao Yan also turned the tables on him.
"What do you say? What exactly happened between you and Xiao Yu by the lake in the woods a week ago?" Grabbing Lin Xiu by the collar, Luo Bu's face twisted slightly, muscles twitching on his face.
He only found out about this incident from hearsay, later asking people who shared a dorm with Xiao Yu.
No one knew exactly what had happened, only that when Xiao Yu returned to the dormitory that day, her hair was messy, her clothes were slightly disheveled, and she had some dirt on her.
Moreover, Xiao Yu had showered before going out, but after returning to the dormitory, she showered again.
After she came out from the shower, her eyes were red, as if she had been crying!
A lone man and a lone woman, in the woods, at night.
Then, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were untidy.
When Luo Bu learned about these details, he almost went crazy, feeling that the people around him were giving him strange looks.
Could all this be related?
From Luo Bu's words, Lin Xiu immediately realized what was going on and felt like he was unfairly accused.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Xiu had deliberately distanced himself from the group of people associated with the Xiao family.
He never expected that someone would come looking for him because of them.
"Speak!" Luo Bu forcefully pulled Lin Xiu's collar, causing him to stumble forward.
One trouble after another finding him, Lin Xiu had just returned to the Academy, dirty and tired, and his temper flared up instantly.
However, despite the raging anger in his heart, Lin Xiu showed no expression on his face.
"Do you want to know?" A smirk formed at the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth.
"Cut the crap! What the hell did you and that woman Xiao Yu do that night?" Luo Bu saw the smirk on Lin Xiu's face and sensed deep sarcasm.
"Your attitude doesn't seem like you genuinely want to know," Lin Xiu said lightly.
"Ge La!"
Releasing Lin Xiu, Luo Bu stepped back two steps, a young man standing between him and Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu seemed to ignore the young man, his gaze fixed directly on Luo Bu. "Seriously? Are you even a man, afraid of even me, a new student?"
After saying this, Lin Xiu finally looked at the young man. "Were you a dog in your past life? Do you enjoy being treated like one? Have you forgotten so quickly about what happened in Wu Tan City?"
Ge La was taken aback. "How did you know? You're clearly from Te Lan City!"
"It's none of your concern." Pressing Ge La's face, Lin Xiu pushed him aside and faced Luo Bu directly. "If you can take a hit from me, I'll tell you exactly what happened that day."
"Come on!" Luo Bu puffed up his chest, showing no regard for Lin Xiu.
The reason Luo Bu didn't act himself was simply because he felt it would be somewhat demeaning to his own stature to discipline a new student with his own strength.
How much force could a palm strike from a new student possibly have? Could he really injure me severely? I don't believe it. There can't be so many monsters like Xiao Yan in the world.
Maintaining a hint of disdain in his eyes, Luo Bu, who had come all the way from the Jia Ma Empire to the Academy, was very aware of Lin Xiu's strength.
He's only been in the Academy for a short while? Let alone one palm strike, even if it were two or three, he could handle them!
As these thoughts flashed through Luo Bu's mind, Lin Xiu slowly stepped forward, his pace leisurely.
It wasn't until he was three steps away from Luo Bu that Lin Xiu suddenly shouted and surged forward, his speed increasing abruptly, closing the distance between him and Luo Bu in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the palm that had been hanging down in his sleeve suddenly shot out.
Night fell, and the sky grew dim.
At this moment, the thunderous light surging in Lin Xiu's palm became incredibly dazzling and blinding.
Thundering Palm!
With no hesitation, Lin Xiu forcefully pressed his palm onto Luo Bu's chest.
When did this kind of clown dare to provoke me?
In Lin Xiu's heart, there surged an extreme anger. He just wanted to cultivate quietly; he wasn't someone to be bullied!
The thunderous light danced on Luo Bu's chest, emitting a burnt smell that filled the air.
Luo Bu's expression changed drastically, filled with endless shock and panic, as all the Dou Qi in his body surged to his chest.
