Persuading Zhou Changxi to Withdraw

Yun Mu's room was empty. Apparently, none of his roommates had arrived yet; he should have been the first.

After arranging his bedding and belongings, he lay down on the bed.

He suddenly remembered that, logically speaking, Na'er had not carved anything onto Tang Wulin this time. Tang Wulin should not lose control, right?

Clearly, Yun Mu had completely forgotten about himself.

He had prepared quite a few things for Tang Wulin.

Before long, there was the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

Yun Mu instantly sprang up. He remembered that it seemed the person who had stepped on Na'er's little flower had not been the only one involved; the one with the Great Strength Ape Martial Soul had started the provocation first.

The moment Yun Mu opened the door, he heard Tang Wulin roar, "My brother bought that for me! How dare you throw it on the ground like trash!"

This time, there was no need for a second punch. One punch sent Zhou Changxi flying out the window.

Xie Xie noticed Yun Mu from Room 206 looking into his dormitory, Room 205. "What are you looking at?"

"My little brother seems to be fighting," Yun Mu said, scratching his head. "Why don't you wait for a—"

Clearly, before he could finish, Xie Xie had already gone inside.

By sheer coincidence, Xie Xie stepped on the little alarm clock Yun Mu had made for Tang Wulin.

With a crack, the little alarm clock was most likely broken.

At that moment, Tang Wulin could no longer suppress his anger at all.

Yun Mu remembered that Xie Xie seemed to have been assigned to Wu Changkong's class because of this fight.

So he had no intention of stopping it and instead watched the show from the side.

"You bastards!" Tang Wulin instantly released his Blue Silver King Martial Soul. He had originally wanted to use the Clear Sky Hammer, but remembering that this was school and that he could not cause any deaths, he restrained himself somewhat.

Two yellow Soul Rings slowly rose beneath his feet. The person who had been watching from the side froze completely. He had never expected the person they were bullying to be a two-ring soul master!

First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Strangulation.

Countless Blue Silver Grass blades surged forward like a swarm of snakes, pouncing toward Xie Xie.

Holding his Light Dragon Dagger, Xie Xie thought that no matter what, he should be able to cut through the Blue Silver Grass.

Yet not only could he not cut through even a single blade, he was instantly wrapped up by the Blue Silver Grass like a rice dumpling. Worse still, it kept binding tighter and tighter.

The next moment, Xie Xie's vision went dark as a huge fist rapidly enlarged before his eyes.

Bang—

The excruciating pain Xie Xie had expected never came.

A silver-haired figure stood in front of him, and Tang Wulin's fist was firmly caught in his hand.

The instant Tang Wulin saw Yun Mu, he burst into tears. "Brother, they were all bullying me."

Yun Mu sighed inwardly and pulled Tang Wulin into his arms. "It's all right, it's all right. Brother will make you new ones."

Xie Xie did not dare move either. He cautiously walked into the dormitory and helped Tang Wulin pick up the things scattered on the floor.

"What happened here? What is going on?" A deep, powerful voice rang out from outside.

Apparently, he had just seen Tang Wulin and Yun Mu's forms and had come to take a look, curious about what the two little geniuses he had barely noticed after being angered by Wu Changkong looked like.

Ten minutes later, at the Academic Affairs Office of Eastsea Academy's Intermediate Division.

Yun Mu did not stand together with them. Instead, he sat off to the side, holding a cup of water the teaching director had poured for him.

"So the entire incident was caused by your poor conduct, Zhou Changxi?" Long Hengxu's gaze turned slightly cold.

Zhou Changxi, Yun Xiao, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie stood in a row before the desk.

Yun Mu drank his water and watched the show from the side. In any case, he knew the outcome would not be bad for Tang Wulin. After all, his Wulin had not been the one to start the trouble.

Yun Xiao, who had been watching from the side earlier, calmly and logically recounted everything that had happened.

It turned out that Zhou Changxi had disliked Tang Wulin's appearance and wanted to give him a show of force.

As Yun Mu listened to the beginning of his account, he uncrossed his legs and stopped drinking his water, his gaze turning icy as he stared at Zhou Changxi.

Yun Mu was not truly a good person in the conventional sense. After all, what kind of simple person could an orphan who had grown up in an orphanage while preserving his parents' property possibly be?

Yun Mu smiled, slowly rose to his feet, and set his cup on Director Long's desk. "Director Long, do you think there is any need to keep a student like this, one who bullies his classmates and has such poor conduct?"

Long Hengxu was momentarily stunned. "But this..."

Yun Mu spoke unhurriedly. "Director Long, if a soul master bullies his classmates at school, then if he learns even more knowledge, might he go on to harm ordinary people?"

"But he is still..."

"Doesn't that make it even clearer that small signs reveal greater problems? They say people are born inherently good, yet he has already lost that goodness at the very beginning." Yun Mu's expression was somewhat cold.

"Furthermore, as far as I know, while most of Class Five's students may not have particularly strong Martial Souls or Soul Power, their conduct is generally upright. Must one person be allowed to ruin an entire class?" Yun Mu continued.

After hearing this, Long Hengxu felt that it made a great deal of sense. He visibly let out a breath.

Clearly, he had thought of some unpleasant matters as well. "Zhou Changxi, with the type of Martial Soul you possess, you could originally have entered Class Three. Your Soul Power was merely a little low. It seems your conduct is just as poor. Return to your primary academy and have your teacher assign you to another school. Eastsea Academy does not accept students of such corrupt character."

Long Hengxu found Zhou Changxi's letter of introduction, slowly drew an X over the spot for the seal, and wrote, "Poor conduct."

Then he had Zhou Changxi take the letter of introduction and leave.

As Zhou Changxi left, he glared viciously at Yun Mu. Yun Mu did not care in the slightest and even gave him a faint smile.

Yun Xiao, who followed behind Zhou Changxi, was terrified at that moment, but Yun Mu did not make things difficult for him.

Instead, he picked up his cup, slowly returned to his seat, and continued watching the show.

Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin, then at the calm and composed Yun Mu.

He could not shake the feeling that neither of these brothers was simple.

"You two started fighting on your first day of enrollment. Both of you will go to Class Five," Long Hengxu said.

"And remember to compensate for the things you damaged."

After Long Hengxu finished dealing with the matter,

Yun Mu said with a smile, "Since Zhou Changxi has left, won't their dormitory be short one person? Why don't I move into their dormitory?"

Long Hengxu thought it was nothing important and directly replied, "If you want to switch, then switch. Just go register later."

"Then thank you, Director Long," Yun Mu said with a smile.

Then he returned to the dormitory with Tang Wulin and the others.
