This Guy Is a Ruthless Wolf

Su Ming was genuinely angry at that moment.

He could have ignored the minor squabbles before, secretly grumbling about them a couple of times and pretending nothing had happened.

But this time, Su Ming couldn't take it anymore.

It was one thing for Xu Qianqian and An Zijin to constantly clash like this, but with him as the cause, they had still ignored him, approached him without a word, and started arguing on their own. They had completely treated him as a tool for their conflict, and Su Ming couldn't help but lose his temper.

So Su Ming stopped caring. He stopped holding back and flipped the table right there.

"Do you two think you're so high and mighty? Do you think being School Belles makes you so amazing?"

"Yes, you have admirers everywhere. It's just one man. How hard could it be to find another?"

"You have the capital to make people revolve around you and do whatever you want."

"I won't interfere with whether what you do is right or wrong, and I certainly won't interfere with what you want to do. But don't drag me into it!"

In front of everyone, Su Ming loudly berated the two charming School Belles.

"I'm not a tool for you to create conflict with, nor am I someone you can approach whenever you want, then shove aside whenever you feel like causing trouble!"

"You want to argue?"

"You want to duel?"

"Fine!"

"Make a secret appointment and settle it somewhere yourselves. Don't sandwich me between the two of you and use me as an excuse!"

Su Ming's furious voice rang throughout the entire carriage.

Everyone stared blankly at Su Ming as he lost his temper, including Xu Qianqian and An Zijin.

"B-Brother Su Ming?"

An Zijin's inner mode vanished. It was as if Su Ming's anger had jolted her awake, and she immediately became weak and pitiful.

"..."

Xu Qianqian was also frozen in place, staring straight at Su Ming. She clearly hadn't expected him to lose his temper at her like this.

As for everyone else, there was even less to say. They simply couldn't believe that anyone in this world would dare lose his temper at Xu Qianqian and An Zijin.

Su Ming didn't react to this at all. He merely exhaled.

"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me."

As he said this, Su Ming seemed to have lost all interest in everything. He sat back down, pulled an eye mask from his backpack, put it on, crossed his arms, and fell asleep.

Xu Qianqian and An Zijin both watched Su Ming like this, at a loss for what to do.

After remaining silent for a while, the others finally began to speak.

"This guy is a ruthless wolf."

That was right.

In their eyes, Su Ming had already become a ruthless wolf.

"I respect him as a real man."

"Is he the first person in history to loudly berate Xu Qianqian and An Zijin like that?"

"He's quite a character."

People began whispering among themselves.

Clearly, Su Ming's performance had won them over.

Even Lei Hao and Ye Bai exchanged a glance and smiled wryly.

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu hunched their shoulders, looking small and helpless.

The entire carriage once again fell into a quiet atmosphere, but this time, the silence was no longer strange.

The train from the city center to Huaming District took about three hours to arrive.

During those three hours, some people caught up on sleep, some chatted, and others aimlessly browsed the forums, bumping posts as usual to pass the time.

Thanks to that, the incident of Su Ming loudly berating Xu Qianqian and An Zijin quickly became today's headline news.

"No way! Xu Qianqian and An Zijin got yelled at?"

"This Su Ming is way too ruthless, isn't he?"

"Such beautiful goddesses, and he yelled at them just like that?"

"Does he have no manners at all?"

The onlookers said whatever came to mind. Without knowing the whole story, they naturally said whatever they pleased, without the slightest restraint.

However, some particularly sharp-eyed people noticed the real point.

"Shouldn't we be focusing on the fact that Xu Qianqian went to another carriage to find Su Ming?"

"Top students have better first-class seats. Instead of sitting in the top students' carriage, Xu Qianqian went to the regular students' carriage to find Su Ming?"

"And she even clashed with An Zijin."

"I regret not being there."

"Same. Two great goddesses fighting—it doesn't get more exciting than that."

Those who had noticed the real point immediately began heatedly discussing it.

The commotion made it feel as though these onlookers were still at the academy instead of already setting out for the battlefield.

That showed just how much attention this matter had attracted.

Of course, it wasn't strange.

In this age of information overload, even an argument between ordinary people on a train could be recorded and uploaded online, let alone a conflict between famous figures like Su Ming, Xu Qianqian, and An Zijin.

If this hadn't been the moment of departure, when causing too much commotion might result in disciplinary action, quite a few onlookers would probably have rushed to Su Ming's carriage to watch in person.

Of course, the onlookers who had been in that carriage displayed excellent post-bumping skills.

"I was there. I'm still dumbfounded."

"Nothing else to say. Su Ming is a real man."

"The goddesses fought over him, yet he responded by spewing fragrant lotus at them."

"If it were me..."

"First, you don't have any goddesses around you. Second, no goddesses would fight over you."

"That hit me right in the heart."

Amid this wave after wave of commotion, Su Ming genuinely fell asleep.

He had already been sleep-deprived, and after being angered like that, even Su Ming felt exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Fortunately, no one disturbed him this time.

Su Ming slept through the entire journey until he vaguely heard the sound of a broadcast and was shaken awake.

"Brother Su Ming... Brother Su Ming..."

A familiar yet timid voice reached Su Ming's ears and woke him.

"What is it? Have we arrived?"

Only then did Su Ming remove his eye mask and open his eyes groggily.

The first people he saw were Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu sitting opposite him, silent and visibly nervous.

Then Su Ming realized, to his surprise, that it wasn't only An Zijin—Xu Qianqian had also quietly taken a seat beside him.

"Brother Su Ming, we've arrived."

An Zijin spoke softly, her expression full of caution, as though she was afraid.

"Already?" Su Ming stretched and glanced at Xu Qianqian. "You didn't go back?"

"Mm." Xu Qianqian nodded faintly and glanced toward Su Ming. "Are you no longer angry?"

Her words carried a trace of caution as well.

Su Ming found this novel.

Who would have thought? The young lady Xu could actually be afraid of making someone angry?

Naturally, Su Ming didn't say that aloud.

"I'm not angry anymore." Su Ming stated this expressionlessly, then stood up. "Since we've arrived, let's go."

"Okay!" An Zijin nodded repeatedly.

Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu also rose at once to pack their luggage, as though they had just been granted a reprieve.

Lei Hao and Ye Bai seemed to have packed up long ago. As they came up from behind, they silently cast strange looks at Su Ming.

Su Ming ignored them completely, picked up his luggage, and got off the train with everyone else.

Xu Qianqian, however, also quietly followed behind Su Ming as he got off, showing no intention of returning to the top students' carriage.

Thus, many of the students got off the train.

Ahead of them, a battle awaited.

Longyao City, Huaming District.

When the Base City's detection department discovered that an entrance to the Spirit Fiend Abyss was about to appear here, the area had been sealed off, and unauthorized personnel were forbidden from entering.

Longyao Base City had designated Huaming District as a major disaster area, evacuated its residents, and sent them one by one to other regions for refuge.

Three days had passed since the detection department discovered that an entrance to the Spirit Fiend Abyss was about to appear here, prompting the Base City to evacuate the population and isolate Huaming District from the outside world.

Although the residents here had not all been evacuated during those three days, most of them had already left.

As a result, it was now unlikely to see ordinary residents in Huaming District. There were only military vehicles driving everywhere and military personnel rushing back and forth as they worked to construct the defensive lines.

Armed helicopters flew through the sky.

A grim atmosphere permeated the ground.

This place had already become a military base, a battlefield.

Led by their instructors, the Demon Hunter Academy students left the sealed-off station and prepared to head to the accommodations the Base City had arranged for them.

Su Ming's group blended into the crowd, but the people around them instinctively kept a little distance from their circle, making the group stand out somewhat.

"These people..."

Su Ming was a little annoyed.

After all, as someone determined to be a Side Character, he really didn't want to stand out.

But as it turned out, the onlookers' decision to stay away from Su Ming's group was indeed wise.

Before long, someone made his way over to them.

"So you're here, Qianqian."

With those words, a handsome and incredibly noticeable upperclassman brought a group of people to a stop in front of Su Ming's group.

Su Ming's heart stirred at the sight.

Nearby, Yao Beibei and Jiang Wanyu called out excitedly.

"Senior Brother Li Wei!"

"The chief of the Hunter Department!"

The newcomer was none other than the chief of the Hunter Department, the academy's strongest Hunter, fourth-year student Li Wei.

"Senior Brother Li Wei."

Lei Hao hurriedly saluted Li Wei.

He was also a student of the Hunter Department, so he naturally held a measure of respect for Li Wei, its chief.

"Hello."

Li Wei nodded at Lei Hao and the others, then shifted his gaze to Xu Qianqian.

"Senior."

Xu Qianqian gave Li Wei a faint nod. Unlike the other students from the Hunter Department, she showed none of their reverence toward him.

"Qianqian." Li Wei's attitude toward Xu Qianqian was extremely gentle. "So you came here. You certainly made me search everywhere for you."

Compared with how he treated everyone else, his attitude was clearly worlds apart.

Su Ming confirmed it.

This senior was pursuing Xu Qianqian, just as the rumors said.
