He Bullied You Because You're a Scholar! Hit Him!

"Ah~~ We're finally back."

Xiao Wu stretched lazily and was the first to step into the hall.

Hearing the movement at the door, Zhu Zhuqing flashed over at high speed.

Her eyes quickly swept over Lin Xiao first, checking him over, before turning to Ning Rongrong and the others.

Only after seeing that no one was missing any limbs did her tense body relax, and she let out a breath.

"Lin Xiao, Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Teacher Zhao, it's really great that you're all okay."

"It's fine, Zhuqing. With Brother Lin Xiao here, what could possibly happen to us?"

Ning Rongrong held Lin Xiao's arm, her eyes full of reliance.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the two of them, fell silent for a moment, then gently nodded.

Zhao Wuji looked around in confusion.

"Where are Tang San and Mubai? Didn't they come back with you?"

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.

"No. When I looked back, I was the only one left there. If it hadn't been for Lin Xiao's Martial Souls, I might not have made it back either."

She pressed her lips together, her feelings complicated.

When disaster struck, it was normal for everyone to flee for themselves, but it was also in such times that one saw who truly cared.

When Xiao Wu had been captured and they were risking their lives against the Titan Giant Ape to save her, Lin Xiao had still thought to spare some of his strength to protect her as she escaped.

Yet Dai Mubai had turned and run without even looking back.

The difference between them was obvious at a glance.

The smile on Zhao Wuji's face vanished.

"Before the Titan Giant Ape, our chances of survival were slim. Whoever could run, ran.

It was already fortunate that you survived. As for them... sigh...
