Fei raised an eyebrow and looked toward the second floor. There, a group of people surrounded a blond youth, all of them looking in their direction.
The man wore an arrogant expression, his eyes full of disdain as he looked down at the work-study students.
"Heh heh..."
"I'll treat you to this meal today."
"I'll treat you to the leftovers. Happy now?"
"That's food from the second-floor cafeteria. It's not something a bunch of paupers like you can afford."
"Oh?!" The veins on Fei's forehead bulged, and his eyes blazed with fury. "I, Fei, have never been humiliated like this!"
"What an arrogant, overbearing brat!"
"Just watch how your grandpa Fei teaches you a lesson, you golden-haired mutt!"
Blazing flames suddenly erupted around Fei.
The sight left the surrounding students pale with shock.
Even the "golden hair" who had just uttered those mocking words had a drastic change of expression. He abruptly turned around and glanced at a youth dozing behind him.
The snot bubble on the youth's face suddenly burst.
The next moment, his eyes snapped open, and a wooden club appeared in his hands as he warily watched Fei.
Fei ignored everything else. With a leap, he reached the second floor and punched toward the blond youth.
The next second, the youth swung his wooden club at Fei, creating countless club shadows.
"Get lost!" Fei raised his hand and caught the club in an instant, then punched the youth in the face again.
The youth only felt dizzy for a moment.
Then his body flew uncontrollably backward.
"Now it's your turn!" Fei rubbed his fingers, making them crack, and a smile appeared on his face.
But in the eyes of the "golden-haired" youth, that smile looked like a demon's.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Let's see you act arrogant!" Fei's fists struck flesh again and again, hitting only the other party's face.
Before long, the blond youth was bent over with his butt sticking up and his head lowered, a white cloth in his hand.
"I surrender! Please, let me go!"
He truly had never imagined that there would be a "strongman" like Fei among the work-study students.
"Hmph!" Fei kicked the other boy in the butt. "Is having a little money really that impressive? Hand it over!"
"What are you doing?" The blond youth looked at Fei with a dead expression.
"Compensation for mental anguish!" Fei replied as though it were only natural. "You just humiliated us. Shouldn't you offer some compensation? Do you know how much damage your words just did to my mental state?"
"Th-then how much money do you want?" The blond youth shakily pulled a money pouch from his chest and was just about to count it.
Suddenly, a hand reached into the youth's chest and took the money pouch.
Fei said indifferently, "Mental anguish isn't a big matter, but it isn't a small one either. This money is just right."
"Brother Fei, you're amazing!" Wang Sheng stared at the "mighty" Fei with wide eyes and could not help praising him. He had never felt so triumphant before.
"Fei, well done!"
"When dealing with someone like that, you should beat him as hard as you can!"
Xiao Wu cheered from the side, clearly unconcerned about making things worse. She looked eager to try it herself and obviously wanted to go up and hit him a few times.
"Who allowed you to fight here?!"
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang, who had come to the cafeteria to eat with them, saw what had happened and immediately realized it was time for him to make his entrance.
"Fighting is forbidden in the cafeteria!"
"It's already over." Fei flipped through the air and landed in front of Wang Sheng and the others. "Besides... if people don't offend me, I don't offend them!"
"That makes sense..." A thoughtful look appeared in Tang San's eyes.
The general principles of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record stated: Any disciple of the Tang Sect must not provoke trouble lightly, but if someone takes the initiative to attack, they may retaliate with thunderous force!
Once an opponent had been confirmed as an enemy, as long as they deserved death, one should not hold back. Otherwise, one would only bring more trouble upon oneself!
Thinking of this, Tang San instead felt that Fei had shown some mercy.
"About that..." Yu Xiaogang felt that he had made his entrance a little too late and sighed inwardly. If I had known, I should have stopped this from happening earlier...
Fei did not care what Yu Xiaogang was thinking.
"We have money now, so let's go eat on the second floor!" The corners of Fei's lips lifted slightly, making him look like a sunny, cheerful young man.
"Brother Fei is treating us! Let's go!"
Wang Sheng and the others showed no sign of holding back and marched toward the second floor in unison.
Xiao Wu went with them as well, and she was the one leading the way.
Xiao Wu did not care who was paying. As long as there was food, that was enough.
Not long afterward.
"Burp~~~"
A continuous string of burps rang out across the second floor, attracting quite a few people's attention and making them laugh despite themselves.
Fei did not mind.
"Brother Fei, thank you for treating us!"
"Once we become Soul Masters and have money, we'll treat you to a meal on the second floor too!"
Wang Sheng gently rubbed his round belly and said with a smile.
They had all come from small villages and could only eat enough to fill their stomachs before becoming Soul Masters.
This was the first time in several years that they had eaten on the second floor.
Fei did not take it to heart.
"Hey! Wang Sheng, I'm clearly the leader, so why do I feel like all of you are treating Fei as your leader?" Xiao Wu said, somewhat displeased, while shooting Fei a resentful glare.
Fei did not care in the slightest and did not even feel like responding.
How could girls possibly understand what boys are thinking?
"I'm full. I'm going to find somewhere to digest my food."
With that, Fei headed downstairs.
"Wait for me!" Xiao Wu hurried after him. "Fei, you look really strong. Let's have a spar!"
"Not interested." Fei brushed back the red hair above his forehead, flashed a wicked smile, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I, Fei, never fight girls."
"No way!" Xiao Wu pursued him relentlessly. "You have to fight me today!"
"Hey! Get off me!"
"You're a girl. Can't you pay attention to propriety and shame?!"
Fei turned his head and frowned at Xiao Wu, who had suddenly jumped onto him and locked him in place.
"You're already under my control and can't move!"
"You've already lost!"
The corners of Xiao Wu's mouth lifted as she laughed smugly.
Fei could not be bothered to argue with Xiao Wu and simply said, "Fine, you win. Boring."
"Yay! I won again!" Xiao Wu jumped off Fei and said with a laugh, "Since that's the case, call me Big Sis Xiao Wu."
"Not interested!" Fei rolled his eyes, then turned and left.
Big Sis Xiao Wu?
Get lost!
Fei found a sunny patch of grass, lay down comfortably, and wore a relaxed smile.
"Now this is what life should be!"
"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."
Hearing the chewing beside him, Fei slightly furrowed his brows. "Why are you still following me? Also, could you stop making noises when you eat?"
"You sleep your sleep, and I'll eat my carrots. What's it got to do with you?"
"Besides, this isn't your house. Who are you to tell me where I can be?!"
Xiao Wu tilted her head back and grumbled.
"I can't be bothered to argue with you!" Fei curled his lips, yawned, and slowly closed his eyes.
However, not long afterward, Fei felt an itch at the tip of his nose.
"Ahh! What are you doing?! Are you going to let me sleep or not?" Fei was unable to fall asleep because of her and glared at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu played with her scorpion braid and whistled as though nothing had happened.
"This is driving me crazy!"
