Expulsion
Chen Guowei is a ranged class, and melee combat is not his forte. Coupled with his attribute disadvantage, it's no wonder he can't beat Liu Fei.
That initial kick was merely an advantage gained from a surprise attack, which also explains why Liu Fei was relatively low on vigilance at school.
Later, when it came time for them to face off, the other members of the University Team who heard the commotion rushed over and stopped the fight, so overall, Chen Guowei didn't suffer much of a loss.
"Chen Guowei," Bai Xiaowen asked, "Is what Liu Fei said true?"
"It's true." Chen Guowei saw that Bai Xiaowen's face was expressionless, and he felt inexplicably uneasy. His original anger and indignation dissipated considerably.
"Then tell me why," Bai Xiaowen said. "You wouldn't have attacked Liu Fei from behind for no reason, would you?"
At this point, Chen Guowei got angry. "That guy is too despicable! Old Han, do you know why the guild refused to sign you?"
Han Xu was stunned.
"How did Han Xu get involved in this fight?" Bai Xiaowen frowned.
Chen Guowei shouted, "It was all Liu Fei's fault! Old Han teamed up with Old Bai twice in the Treasure Ground Space to borrow Psionic Points to buy Gold Equipment, and the potion incident—it was all Liu Fei who leaked it! He told Wu Guangming from the Jingwu Guild!"
Catching his breath, Chen Guowei continued like a machine gun, "Liu Fei was annoyed because Old Han was close to us, so he tried every means to get rid of Old Han! That bastard is a real piece of work, he even has the nerve to gloat here and tell all this to Xiao Mingsheng, saying that those who betray you never have a good ending... Bah! Did Old Han eat your food or spend your money? What do you mean by betrayal?"
"Xiao Mingsheng is no better. After hearing about Liu Fei's shameless and despicable deeds, he actually kept nodding in approval. Do you think he did the right thing or something?" Chen Guowei turned his gun on Xiao Mingsheng and continued to berate him.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Liu Fei's expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Stop making baseless accusations! Han Xu's matter has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
Xiao Mingsheng panicked a little. After Liu Fei denied it outright, he quickly protested loudly, "That's right, Liu Fei and I were discussing... how to deal with the Anhui University team. When did we mention Han Xu?"
Bai Xiaowen narrowed her eyes.
In fact, seeing Chen Guowei's indignant appearance, Bai Xiaowen believed him almost entirely.
Those on the University Team who knew Chen Guowei generally believed Chen Guowei version of events. But how could they convince Yan Xiaoxin, and others who didn't know Chen Guowei, to believe him as well?
While it's true that fighting is wrong for students, if there's a legitimate reason, driven by righteous indignation, the punishment will undoubtedly be lighter, or even avoided altogether... But how can one prove this "legitimate reason"?
If Liu Fei and Xiao Mingsheng deny it, then no one can prove Chen Guowei's statement...
On the surface, Bai Xiaowen appeared to show no favoritism, but in reality, his stance was not impartial. He was more inclined to protect Chen Guowei, but he still had to maintain appearances, and with Yan Xiaoxin present, he couldn't be too obvious about it.
However, Chen Guowei didn't give Bai Xiaowen too much trouble this time. After hearing Liu Fei and the other man's rebuttal, he chuckled and said, "You think I have no evidence?"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Chen Guowei reached into his back pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
"I was on the toilet at the time, and I was also scrolling through my WeChat Moments. I overheard Liu Fei and Xiao Mingsheng's conversation, and I casually turned on my phone to record it..."
Chen Guowei opened the audio file on his phone and said, "Although only the second half was recorded, you should be able to tell from the sound that I wasn't lying. That bastard Liu Fei is too despicable."
Chen Guowei, that show-off, bought the latest Stellar IX Phone, and after removing noise, the recording quality was very clear.
"... Jingwu Team definitely doesn't want him! How much does it cost to train a tank? How could they give him to a traitor?" -- This was Liu Fei's voice.
"Han Xu is indeed dishonest." -- Xiao Mingsheng's voice.
"Hmph, who pulled him into the main team back then? That idiot Bai Xiaowen came along and he ran over to lick his boots. He always pretended to be so honest and kind." Liu Fei said bitterly, "Now that the guild has refused to renew his contract, are you feeling good? I'd like to see which guild would want him!"
"... It's said that Bai Xiaowen's Super God Guild has signed a contract with Han Xu."
"Really? Hahaha, he only deserves to be in this bottom-tier trash guild. He'll never amount to anything! This is what happens when you betray me..."
The recording has ended.
Everyone's expressions were priceless.
Bai Xiaowen's face held a hint of amusement.
Han Xu remained silent as usual, like a statue.
Xiang Hui curled his lip.
Li Shuyi's gaze towards Liu Fei carried an undisguised disgust.
As for Liu Fei, the person involved, his face turned bright red, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground... Note that this is a genuine Burrow, especially when Zhao Yuting's gaze fell upon him...
(Old Ya: I was really good at writing essays when I was in elementary school)
Xiao Mingsheng quietly moved to the side...
"So that's how it is..."
Bai Xiaowen broke the silence, "The contract with the guild is related to the life trajectory of an Awakened. I never expected that Han Xu's failure to renew his contract with the original guild was actually due to his classmate's sabotage. Old Han, do you have anything to say?"
Han Xu was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm fine now."
"I think it's great too. With you joining the Super God Guild, I'll have one more reliable teammate when I try to make it in the Professional League..."
Bai Xiaowen first reassured Han Xu, then her smile vanished, and her tone turned cold. "However, this doesn't mean Han Xu and I will forgive the guy who sabotaged us. Liu Fei, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"
Liu Fei was speechless. Faced with the disdainful looks of the crowd, he wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
"Last semester, we only had a minor squabble, and I let you stay on the University Team, even reserving a starting position for you. But now it seems you have character issues," Bai Xiaowen coldly declared. "Such a despicable person doesn't deserve to be on my team. I'm even ashamed to be at the same university as you."
"Teacher Yan, I hope to expel Liu Fei from the University Team. I wonder if you would agree?" Bai Xiaowen looked directly at Yan Xiaoxin.
Yan Xiaoxin had actually been thinking about how to handle the situation.
Hearing Bai Xiaowen's words, she nodded and said, "I gave you the authority back last semester, and I won't interfere with your decisions... What Liu Fei did was indeed very excessive."
Bai Xiaowen nodded slightly. "Xiao Mingsheng actually agreed with Liu Fei's despicable actions, which also shows his depraved character. He should be expelled from the substitute team."
"That's absolutely right! We should have done this a long time ago!" Chen Guowei loudly expressed his approval.
"I haven't finished speaking... Chen Guowei, although you acted out of righteous indignation, you were still wrong to assault someone and damage public property at the University Team's training base. You have to pay for the damages and write a sincere self-criticism to submit to the school!" Bai Xiaowen coughed and said.
Chen Guowei opened his mouth as if to say something, but Xiang Hui secretly kicked his butt, making him shut up immediately.
"Let's leave it at that. There's one vacancy on the main team. I'll organize a test later to select one person from the reserves to join the main lineup. We can't let this affect our preparations for the National Championship," Bai Xiaowen concluded.
