I'm Really Not a Bad Guy
"We're over a hundred meters apart, did I block your way?"
Qian Ye laughed, "This is a wilderness area, not your doorstep. I'm not breaking the law by standing here, am I? Why are you saying I'm blocking your way?"
"Um..." Bai Jierou wanted to say something, but suddenly found herself speechless.
Yes, this is the wilderness, not our own doorstep. Why would you say he's blocking our way?
If we were in the base area, I wouldn't ask him such questions or doubt him if he were standing here.
It was precisely because this was a wilderness that he was being cautious, believing that his appearance here was ill-intentioned and meant to block his way!
So, am I overthinking things?
"I'm so sorry! It seems I was overthinking it. You know this is the wilderness; it's impossible not to be suspicious. Please forgive me," Bai Jierou apologized directly.
Regardless of whether the other party is good or bad, you shouldn't judge their right or wrong to their face until they take action or do anything outrageous.
Bai Jierou had no choice but to turn around and return to the group.
"Captain, what's the situation with that person?" Fatty Guo asked as soon as Bai Jierou returned.
The other team members, along with Mentor Huang, Xu Xin, and other classmates, listened intently to see what Bai Jierou had to say.
"Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding. He just happened to be passing by and saw us. He didn't mean to cause us any trouble, but we still need to be careful. You can't judge a book by its cover. After all, this isn't the base area; it's the wilderness. It's best to be cautious."
Mmm~
Everyone nodded.
"Fatty, watch my hand gestures.¤ (¯´☆✭.¸_)¤ ¤(_¸.✭☆´¯) ¤"
"Yes, Captain."
Bai Jierou then turned to Xu Xin and the others. "Mentor Huang, you and your students should be careful. No matter what happens, stay calm. We have more experience in the wilderness than you. As long as you don't fall behind and follow my instructions, you'll be fine."
"If you don't listen, you'll bear the consequences. I don't want one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch. After all, this is a wilderness area; a small mistake could cost you or everyone's lives."
Mentor Huang nodded, not refuting her words: "Don't worry, Captain. I know how dangerous the wilderness is. I'll take good care of the students."
"Let's go."
"Set off!"
Bai Jierou remained at the front, while Fatty Guo walked to the back and blocked the way.
Mentor Huang led the students in the middle, heads down, very cautiously.
Of course, a few daring students didn't take the dangers of the wilderness seriously. Instead, they thought they were amazing for daring to come to the wilderness to do missions, and that they could brag about it to their friends for the rest of their lives.
That's because they haven't been beaten down by monsters in the wilderness; they'll know fear when they encounter danger.
Bai Jierou led her group to him and stopped in front of him. Seeing that he still did not make any move, she waved to the group behind her, signaling them to go around to the side first.
Several team members and Mentor Huang understood her intention and quickly walked around Qian Ye.
Bai Jierou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the group had passed by him, and immediately followed the group from behind.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as everyone and Bai Jierou thought they had passed him safely, he suddenly uttered a sentence that startled everyone, causing them to freeze in place and all turn to look at him. ✋👌 🐟🎉
The Moth Squad has six members in total, with Qian Ye being the only one. Given the numbers, one person would be no match for six.
However, martial artists have different levels. High-level martial artists can kill even one-on-one opponents, let alone one-on-one, or even one-on-six opponents.
This is why Bai Jierou is afraid of Qian Ye.
Another point she felt was that there were two possibilities for Qian Ye appearing in the wilderness area.
Firstly, he possesses formidable personal strength, at least at the level of Warlord or Wargod, yet he dares to appear alone in this wilderness.
Secondly, he came with the team, and he might have been just leading the charge, while his teammates were probably hiding on either side, planning an ambush.
"Don't get me wrong, I stopped you because one of the girls is my high school classmate."
this...
The crowd looked at each other, unsure whether it was true or not.
After all, he was wearing a mask, so no one could recognize him, let alone know how much of what he said was true.
"Does anyone here know him?" Bai Jierou immediately asked the students after hearing Qian Ye's words.
The students shook their heads.
"Even if he was one of our classmates, we wouldn't recognize him as my high school classmate if he were wearing a mask."
"Yes!"
Bai Jierou listened to the students' words and thought they made a lot of sense, "Since there are classmates inside, why don't you take off your mask? If you take off your mask, they'll recognize you, won't they?"
Qian Ye: "..."
He looked at Xu Xin, then reached out and took off his mask, finally revealing his true face.
Huh?
Xu Xin saw the face behind the mask and was overjoyed. She immediately rushed forward to Qian Ye and exclaimed, "Qian Ye, it's you!"
"No wonder your figure looked familiar earlier, it really was you. By the way, Qian Ye, why did you come to the wilderness alone? You're not a martial artist, do you know how dangerous it is to encounter monsters?"
Qian Ye had no choice but to make up an excuse. "I'm a bit short on cash, so I came out to kill a few monsters to exchange for some money at the HR Alliance's underground shop."
"Qian Ye... you're not a martial artist. Killing monsters to make money, are you out of your mind?" Xu Xin asked with concern.
Qian Ye: "..."
"Xu Xin, who is he?" Mentor Huang couldn't help but ask, seeing her chatting so happily with this strange man.
Xu Xin turned around and smiled, "Mentor Huang, his name is Qian Ye, he was my classmate in our senior year of high school."
She just didn't make it clear that she and Qian Ye were only classmates for one day.
Mentor Huang breathed a sigh of relief. At least they knew each other; at least they weren't bad people, the danger was over. "Well, your student is really brave, coming all the way to the wilderness to fight monsters? To make money?"
Xu Xin gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.
Qian Ye: "..."
He was not someone to be trifled with; dealing with a few monsters was a piece of cake for him.
Even if it's an SS-class monster, I'll fight it without hesitation.
Of course, I won't tell anyone. Talk is cheap. I'll fight a few monsters when they're in danger to show them, and that'll convince them.
Xu Xin then asked, "Qian Ye, have you defeated the monster yet?"
"It hasn't started yet, I just arrived."
Xu Xin: "Then come with us? With Captain Bai protecting you, your chances of winning will be better?"
"Is it okay?" Qian Ye looked at Bai Jierou and deliberately probed. It was also her own idea; she had come here to team up with Xu Xin and the others.
Xu Xin immediately looked at Bai Jierou and said, "Captain Bai, Qian Ye really is my classmate from senior year of high school. Could you do us a favor and let him stay with us? That way, he can survive in this wilderness."
Bai Jierou rolled her eyes at Qian Ye: "I thought you were Warlord general or Wargod god, daring to come to this wilderness to fight monsters and make money all by yourself? I think you're desperate for money!"
Qian Ye: "..."
Bai Jierou, what a sharp tongue but a soft heart!
"For Xu Xin's sake, I'll agree to let you join the team. But let me make this clear: if you dare to act recklessly, disobey my orders, and cause casualties to my team, I'll be the first to kill you."
Qian Ye: "..."
Tch~
When Fatty Guo heard that Qian Ye wasn't even Prospective Fighter, he looked at him with disdain. "I thought he was some big shot, but he's not even as good as a newbie!"
Qian Ye: "..."
I really want to kick his ass.
Xu Xin immediately grabbed Qian Ye's hand, beaming with joy, meaning, "Don't be angry."
"Let's go!" Bai Jierou ignored Qian Ye and continued leading the group forward.
