Setting Aside the Facts, Are You Really Blameless? The Desperate East Sea Team!

Mu Xi looked at the companions blocking her way, gritted her teeth, and a resolute glint flashed in her golden eyes.

She took a deep breath and took a step forward.

He stood in front of Bai Yuan, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Let me go out alone, don't touch them."

I apologize to you!

"Oh? That's not what they said when they robbed us earlier."

Mu Xi blushed slightly, her lips moved, but she didn't know how to refute.

The boys behind her, some with their heads down, some with pale faces, and some secretly took a half step back.

Bai Yuan's gaze shifted from Mu Xi's face to the pale-faced Dark Demon Scythe boy behind her, who was still panting and leaning against a tree trunk.

His tone remained languid, but with a hint of coldness.

"Did they change course when faced with overwhelming power?"

"It's too late."

Mu Xi's pupils contracted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but Bai Yuan had already moved.

He simply raised his right hand, and a pale golden sword aura condensed at his fingertips.

The sword energy was extremely thin and bright, like a straightened golden thread that flashed through the air.

There was no roar, no explosion, only a very light and crisp "hiss".

The sword energy pierced precisely into the chest of the psychic-type boy.

His body stiffened, and he looked down at the spreading golden crack on his chest, his face filled with disbelief.

Then, his body began to turn into specks of light from the edges, like fireflies scattered by the wind, gradually dissipating into the air.

"No!!!"

Mu Xi's scream echoed through the forest. She whirled around and lunged in that direction, but her fingers passed right through the points of light and she grabbed nothing.

A few seconds later, the boy vanished completely, leaving only faint scorch marks on the ground as proof that he had once existed.

Mu Xi knelt on the ground, her golden eyes filled with tears.

The boys behind him were also pale-faced and their legs felt weak.

You don't truly die when you die in the Spirit Ascension Platform, but the feeling of being crushed and obliterated is real.

The backlash of their spiritual power and the pain of being forcibly kicked off the Spirit Ascension Platform were enough to leave an indelible mark on them.

Bai Yuan withdrew his finger, looking at the still-scattering specks of light, his smile fading.

He wasn't bullying anyone, nor was he venting his anger.

The training during the Spirit Ascension Platform Riot Period was inherently a battle; if you chose to rob, you must be prepared to be robbed.

He's not going to let them learn this lesson today.

If they encounter something stronger and more unreasonable tomorrow, it won't be as simple as just being kicked out.

The Heavenly Ape Transformation into a burly man, embedded in a rocky crater. After struggling for a few moments, his massive body finally gave way.

It begins to transform into specks of light from the edge, gradually dissipating into the air.

His consciousness disintegrated within the Spirit Ascension Platform, and he was forcibly kicked out of this virtual battlefield.

Mu Xi knelt on the ground, looking at the still-scattering specks of light, her golden eyes filled with tears and regret.

She slowly stood up, turned to Bai Yuan, and her voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Let... let them go."

To those students who haven't participated yet, please, I beg you.

I... I'm willing to apologize too.

Bai Yuan paused, stood in front of her, and looked at her.

Her golden eyes were glistening with tears. The once arrogant girl now hung her head, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment.

Bai Yuan remained silent for a moment:

"Alright."

Xiao Bai hated indiscriminate killing, Core Flame within him suddenly flickered.

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, her golden eyes filled with disbelief.

Just like that... you agreed?

A series of hurried footsteps approached from afar, accompanied by several exclamations.

"Isn't that... isn't that Senior Xu Xiaoyu?!"

"It really is Senior Xu Xiaoyu! We're saved!"

"Senior, come quick! Someone's bullying us!"

Bai Yuan looked up.

A tall, slender boy emerged from the woods.

He wore an embroidered badge of a senior student from the Eastsea Academy on his chest, had a handsome face, and possessed a composure beyond his years.

Behind him were several students, also dressed in the Eastsea Academy uniforms, all looking at Bai Yuan with tense expressions.

Xu Xiaoyu walked steadily, her gaze sweeping over the chaotic battlefield.

Having noticed those few fading points of light, I already had a guess in my mind.

Mu Xi's followers were overjoyed and scrambled to Xu Xiaoyu's side, chattering and complaining all at once.

"Senior, that guy chased out Lao Liu and Heaven Ape, and he even bullied Sister Mu Xi."

Xu Xiaoyu ignored them, her gaze sweeping over the crowd and landing on Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan also looked at him, and the two stared at each other for a moment.

Xu Xiaoyu's gaze swept over Bai Yuan's body, where the light of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had disappeared.

But he could sense that the white-robed youth possessed an extraordinary aura.

"You're Xu Xiaoyu?" Bai Yuan spoke first, his tone casual. Xu Xiaoyu frowned slightly. "You know me?"

Bai Yuan smiled but did not answer.

He had some impression of Xu Xiaoyu from the original work.

A senior student at the Eastsea Academy, his strength is among the best of his peers. What is his Martial Soul?

An ice staff? Or what?

Xu Xiaoyu did not move.

He stood there, a long, snow-white staff that had appeared in his hand without him noticing.

The staff was crystal clear, with a fist-sized blue crystal embedded at its top, emitting a faint, cold light.

Bai Yuan's gaze fell on Xu Xiaoyu's feet.

Three Soul Ring, yellow, yellow, and purple, slowly rose, their Soul Power fluctuations clear and steady.

Level 35 Control-type Battle Soul Elder, Ice Attribute Martial Soul.

Xu Xiaoyu raised her staff, the blue crystal at its tip glowing faintly.

His tone was calm and unhurried, even carrying a hint of negotiation.

"Would you release my companion?"

Bai Yuan tilted his head.

"You can take the rest, but not this."

"She can't."

"What happened? Did I offend you?"

Xu Xiaoyu's tone remained calm, but her brows had furrowed slightly.

Bai Yuan shook his head, the smile on his lips fading slightly.

"She laid a hand on me, so she has to pay the price."

Xu Xiaoyu remained silent for a moment, then lowered her staff slightly and gave a wry smile.

Don't you even consider the situation?

Just as Bai Yuan was about to speak, Mu Xi's several followers who were still at the Spirit Ascension Platform rushed out from behind the trees.

Some were deathly pale, some were still trembling, but they didn't let their verbal skills slip at all.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Pointing at Bai Yuan, her voice was shrill and urgent.

"Ignoring the facts, are they completely innocent?"

Why are you here?

"If they hadn't shown up here, Sister Mu Xi wouldn't have taken action!"

Bai Yuan's pupils dilated slightly.

What kind of absurd logic is this?

"Yes!"

Another boy chimed in, his face filled with righteous indignation.

"Even if we assume everyone is at fault, why resort to violence?"

Can't we just talk this out properly?

Bai Yuan was speechless for a moment after being rebuked.

Why does that sound so familiar?

Before I transmigrated, I saw these kinds of quotes on the internet every day in my previous life.

"Putting aside the facts," "Even if we take a step back and say it takes two to tango,"...

He never imagined that one day he would hear these classic lines with his own ears in another world.

Moreover, the people who said these words were a group of people he had just beaten so badly they were crying and screaming for their parents.

The Eastsea Academy students are now hiding behind their seniors and unleashing their fury.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the urge to strike again.

He wasn't usually silent, but at this moment he was truly silent.

Tired, Destruction it!

Gu Yuena stood beside him, her long silver hair swaying gently in the breeze, her purple eyes filled with shock.

She glanced at the boys who were arguing their case, then at Bai Yuan's somewhat complicated face.

"This is what humans are like."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

"Despicable and shameless."

The boys stopped talking abruptly and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xu Xiaoyu didn't turn to look at them, but she tightened her grip on the staff.

Bai Yuan's lips twitched, and he turned his head to look at Gu Yuena, lowering his voice.

"Junior sister, you're absolutely right."

Gu Yuena didn't look at him; she was still staring at the boys, the shock in her eyes gradually fading.

Instead, something indescribable and inexplicable took its place.

She felt that her understanding of the human race was not comprehensive enough before.

It turns out that besides Leng Yaozhu's scheming, Qiangu Dongfeng's ambition, and Shrek's arrogance, there's also this...

This ability to make fallacies sound perfectly reasonable.

Gu Yuena silently added a entry to her "Human Observation Log" in her mind.

Humans are adept at ignoring the facts.

"Let's go together, Senior Xu!"

"Does he think he can beat all of us?"
