Xiao Wu's rabbit ears rested on Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, and she painfully vented her inner emotions. "Zhuqing, I was wrong, I really was wrong. I regret so much that I didn't listen to you guys. Tang San is simply not human, and I will never pay attention to him again. Wuwu."
"It's fine, it's fine, don't be scared, Xiao Wu. With us here, that scumbag won't hurt you again." Zhu Zhuqing gently patted Xiao Wu's back, softly comforting the frightened Xiao Wu.
Qin Ye's gaze suddenly shifted behind Xiao Wu, where a pale blue figure quickly flew over. "Oh? Is this him coming to chase his wife back? Heh, Tang San, haven't you heard that abusing your wife is fun for a moment, while chasing your wife is a crematorium?"
"Xiao Wu!" Tang San landed on the ground with a thump, stopping in front of Zhu Zhuqing. "Xiao Wu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have raised a hand against you back then, but I was just anxious for a moment. I beg you to forgive me, Xiao Wu." Tang San said while clutching his chest.
"Get lost, scumbag." Sharp cat claws extended from Zhu Zhuqing's fingertips, forcing Tang San back. "Haven't you hurt Xiao Wu enough yet! You jerk, you actually went as far as to hit your own sister-you simply aren't human! No matter what, there is no way I am going to let Xiao Wu go back with you. Get lost right now!"
Xiao Wu had even helped Zhu Zhuqing smooth things over during the day. Now, looking at Xiao Wu with her flushed and slightly swollen face, Zhu Zhuqing was filled with concern. No matter what, she would never let Tang San take Xiao Wu back to bully her again.
"I-I was just feeling desperate in the moment, and I had my reasons." Tang San argued, looking agitated.
"So that makes it okay to hit people?" Zhu Zhuqing swept a cold glance at Tang San. "I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with someone like you. Disappear from my sight right now, or don't blame me for being merciless."
Tang San's hands flailed up and down, helplessly grasping at the air. "Wait, we're classmates after all! Can't you even leave a little room for tolerance?"
"I never regarded you as a classmate." Zhu Zhuqing retorted without a moment's hesitation. "A scumbag like you isn't fit to walk alongside me. That would only make me feel embarrassed."
"That's right, Tang San, when did you ever consider us classmates? You're just someone who got in through the back door; do you really think you're qualified to be our classmate? Hmph, go back and wash up before you dream." Qin Ye stepped forward, standing by Zhu Zhuqing's side, and looked at Tang San with a playful expression.
"It's you again!" The moment Tang San saw that face, he was instantly furious enough to reach the boiling point, wishing he could tear Qin Ye apart on the spot! "You're the one behind all of this! Right?!" Tang San pointed angrily at Qin Ye.
"Me? You're really wronging an innocent person here. Where would I find the idle time to bother with you?" Qin Ye spread his hands helplessly. "Do you think you're important enough to be worth my attention?"
This time it really wasn't Qin Ye's fault; it was purely Tang San digging his own grave. The Heart Demon had been inside Zhu Zhuqing's body at the time, so how could it have had the time to interfere with Tang San? All he could say was that tonight's situation truly exceeded Qin Ye's expectations. He hadn't even made a move yet, and Tang San had already self-destructed.
"You!" Tang San clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms. "Fine, very well. You've all banded together to target me, haven't you!" Tang San's eyes were bloodshot as he struck a desperate pose, the silent sleeve arrow hidden in his sleeve already prepped and ready.
"Since you have no regard for righteousness, don't blame me for being unrighteous! Tonight, not a single one of you is getting away!" Tang San abruptly raised his arm, triggering the silent sleeve arrow in his sleeve as it blasted toward the center of Zhu Zhuqing's brow with a whoosh!
With this arrow, Tang San truly intended to kill!
"Watch out!" Qin Ye had long guessed that Tang San would use a hidden weapon, so he was already prepared. The moment Tang San raised his hand, Qin Ye had already lunged toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Qin Ye's figure was extremely nimble, resembling a civet cat in the dark night. Bolstered by the power of Zhu Zhuqing's Heart Demon, the current Qin Ye had naturally acquired a portion of Zhu Zhuyun's abilities.
Qin Ye had originally intended to bat that arrow away with a slap, but he suddenly halted his movements because the Heart Demon reminded him of something. "Master! Flender is watching from the tree. I just spotted him."
Qin Ye's eyes darted slyly, and a brilliant plan instantly formed in his mind. "Got it."
Qin Ye leaped forward with all his might, spreading his arms to shield Zhu Zhuqing. The sleeve arrow pierced precisely into the spot just to the left of Qin Ye's heart, missing his actual heart by the narrowest of margins.
"Ugh!" Qin Ye collapsed to the ground in pain, then immediately bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. "Pfft!"
Putting on a weak act, Qin Ye looked toward Tang San. "You! Despicable-Tang San, you actually used your Martial Soul to launch a sneak attack!"
"Heh, foolish." Disdainfully reloading a second sleeve arrow, Tang San immediately locked his crosshairs onto the center of Qin Ye's brow. "Qin Ye, this isn't a Martial Soul, it's called a hidden weapon, and it's my trump card. Dying beneath my hidden weapon means you can die without regrets."
"Tonight is your doom! Go ahead and die obediently!" Tang San pressed the trigger, and the silent sleeve arrow shot out with a whoosh, flying straight toward the center of Qin Ye's brow!
"No!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing directly let go of Xiao Wu and spread her arms to block the path in front of Qin Ye-a development that greatly caught Qin Ye off guard.
"Zhuqing." Qin Ye's pupils instantly dilated, his gaze went blank, and he subconsciously cried out Zhu Zhuqing's name.
Meanwhile, that sleeve arrow was already right before his eyes.
"Stop right there!"
Hum!
That flying sleeve arrow was steadily caught by Flender, and then-crack! It was snapped right down the middle by Flender.
"Dean Flender!" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Flender in surprise. "Dean, please save Qin Ye. He was just hurt, and our academy definitely has healing Soul Masters, right? I beg you to save him." Desperate to save a life, Zhu Zhuqing hurried forward and spoke.
"Zhuqing, calm down. There are currently no healing-type Soul Masters in the academy. First take Qin Ye down to get bandaged, and I will come find you shortly." Flender then glared fiercely at Tang San. "Before that, there are some matters I must deal with."
"Yes, Dean Flender." Zhu Zhuqing helped Qin Ye up from the ground, and Xiao Wu immediately rushed over to help as well.
"Qin Ye, are you alright? Say something, don't scare me." Tears shimmered at the corners of Zhu Zhuqing's eyes as she anxiously gazed into Qin Ye's hazy eyes.
"I-I," Qin Ye said weakly. "I'm-I'm fine." Having said that, Qin Ye fainted and passed out.
"Qin Ye! Qin Ye!" At this sight, Zhu Zhuqing was instantly frantic with worry, her tears dropping onto Qin Ye's face with a patter. "Xiao Wu, let's hurry and take Qin Ye back to get bandaged. He's not going to hold on much longer."
"Mn, okay." Xiao Wu immediately nodded, working together with Zhu Zhuqing to support Qin Ye back to the female dormitory.
"Xiao Wu!" Seeing Xiao Wu leave, Tang San still thought about trying to persuade her to stay, but Flender instantly stepped in front of him with an extremely fierce look in his eyes.
"D-Dean Flender, I-I had my reasons." Even now, Tang San was still thinking of making excuses.
Slap!
Flender landed a vicious slap across Tang San's face!
Tang San's entire body was sent flying directly through the air, crashing heavily into the stream beside them!
"Tang San! You are an absolute disgrace to your father and your teacher! You beast, right now I really want to slap you to death!"
