Chương 61: Chapter 61: Are You Looking Down on Me?
"It's impressive. If it weren't for the boss taking action, the Wind Wolf would have run away long ago. Senior Wang wouldn't have had a chance to catch up."
"Yeah, that's right. Speaking of Senior Wang, he's been gone for a while. Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Not only Senior Wang, but Xiao Long hasn't been seen either. He's been in the restroom for so long."
Not long ago, they had just found the campsite when the Second Rank Magic Beast, the Wind Wolf rushed over.
Fortunately, there was a Senior present, possessing the strength of a 1-Star Dou Master, making him evenly matched against the Wind Wolf.
With their combined efforts, they inflicted some damage on the Wind Wolf, and it was preparing to escape.
At a critical moment, Bai Shan intervened and hit the Wind Wolf's leg. The Senior decided to go after it, considering that the Wind Wolf's entire body was valuable, and the magic core could be exchanged for nearly a thousand Task Points at the Task Hall.
Listening to their conversation, Bai Shan couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
"What is Wang Ming up to? He better not ruin things for himself just because of a Wind Wolf."
Earlier, Bai Shan received information that Du Chaoping seemed to have learned about the location of a hidden mountain cave.
Generally, mountain caves don't just appear out of nowhere; they are mostly artificially created, and no one can guarantee whether there are treasures inside.
As the saying goes, the capable ones obtain the treasures.
Bai Shan was originally not on good terms with Du Chaoping, and coupled with the recent unpleasantness with Lin Xiu, he initially wanted to trouble Lin Xiu. However, that guy was not at the Academy.
Thinking about Du Chaoping's previous contact with Lin Xiu, Bai Shan decided to go find him and see if he could get information about Lin Xiu's whereabouts. As for the treasures in the mountain cave, that was just an incidental matter.
Therefore, Bai Shan brought along a Senior to add a bit of assurance.
"Boss, boss."
From afar came shouts, and everyone turned to see a young man rushing towards them.
"Xiao Long, did you lose your 'eggs' to a Magic Beast while using the restroom? You seem so flustered," someone teased.
"If it weren't for something important, I'd smash your mouth for you."
Raising a middle finger, the young man looked at Bai Shan and, panting, spoke, "Boss, I saw Lin Xiu."
"Are you sure? Did you not make a mistake?" Bai Shan abruptly stood up.
"Is it true?"
"Xiao Long, don't lie to the boss."
Others also got up.
The young man said seriously, "No, I have seen Lin Xiu in the dormitory before. I can't be wrong."
"Let's go! Hurry up and catch him."
"No one in the Academy should dare to disrespect the boss. Today, we must teach him a lesson!"
"That's right, no wonder we couldn't find him in the Academy these past few days. He must be scared, so he hid in the forest."
Without waiting for Bai Shan to speak, others already had angry expressions, expressing their attitudes.
A hint of surprise and joy appeared on Bai Shan's face; he didn't expect to encounter Lin Xiu in the forest.
That day in the dormitory, if he hadn't been in the wrong, he would have surely taught Lin Xiu a lesson.
Everyone in that dormitory had been disciplined by him, and if Lin Xiu had been around, he would have been too.
Besides the desire to teach a lesson, Bai Shan had another urgent reason to find Lin Xiu.
It was still about the White Carp issue. Unable to get the fish from Lin Xiu, Bai Shan didn't give up. He arranged many people and organized continuous fishing day and night. Finally, someone was lucky enough to catch one.
However, this frequency couldn't match Lin Xiu's. According to Bai Shan's inquiries, Lin Xiu could almost guarantee catching a White Carp every day.
By the lakeside, when it came to White Carp fishing, many people spoke of Lin Xiu with admiration.
"Xiao Long, how did you see him?" Bai Shan didn't rush to go.
The young man briefly described what he had witnessed.
Bai Shan immediately said, "It seems he doesn't have Du Chaoping and the others around him. Let's go, take me there!"
Others also wanted to go, but Wang Ming's hadn't returned yet.
Worried that Wang Ming might not found anyone when he returns, Bai Shan only took the young man and one other person.
"Boss, having more people provides support. We are concerned about your safety," someone advised.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shan slapped him hard on the head.
"Concerned about my safety while teaching a newcomer a lesson? Do you know what you just said?" Bai Shan's face darkened, and he was somewhat angry. "Are you looking down on me?"
"I'm sorry, Boss. I misspoke," the person who got slapped said quietly.
"I don't want to hear similar words next time."
Already feeling uncomfortable after being face-slapped by a newcomer, Bai Shan was even more displeased when his subordinates expressed concern about him losing face to a freshman.
Seeing Bai Shan angry, others dared not mention it again.
While the young man led the way for Bai Shan, he silently prayed for Lin Xiu.
Having witnessed Bai Shan's anger before, the young man knew that Bai Shan in an enraged state was extremely terrifying, and the scene could turn bloody.
'Poor guy, why provoke Boss Bai Shan? Even if you enter the inner courtyard, you won't have an easy time.'
The young man murmured to himself.
The distance of one or two hundred meters wasn't far. When the young man led Bai Shan there, Lin Xiu was still dissecting the Red Tiger Beast.
A faint bloody smell wafted in the air, and blood flowed from the Red Tiger Beast's body onto the ground.
The sound of footsteps reached Lin Xiu's ears, and he was surprised – had he encountered someone?
Stopping the meat-cutting action, Lin Xiu stood up.
Seeing three people running towards him from a distance, their speed was fast. When they got closer, he could finally see their faces clearly.
"Bai Shan?" Lin Xiu was slightly surprised.
"Finally found you, Lin Xiu."
With a few leaps, Bai Shan led the other two and arrived at a position less than five meters away from Lin Xiu. "Do you think you can escape from me by hiding outside the Academy?"
"Me? Hide from you?" Lin Xiu was puzzled. "Did you have a problem with your brain since childhood?"
"Humph, you're quite good at pretending." Bai Shan pointed at Lin Xiu. "Teach me the method of catching White Carp. If my mood improves, I might forgive your attitude in the dormitory."
"I need your forgiveness?" Lin Xiu couldn't help but laugh. "There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey think he is the king."
Although Xiao Yan hadn't come to Jia Nan Academy during this time, Bai Shan had gained a bit of a protagonist-like aura and had a considerable reputation in the Academy.
However, Lin Xiu didn't even care about being a true protagonist, so how could he possibly care about him?
In Lin Xiu's eyes, Bai Shan resembled more of an ugly bootlicker, constantly fawning over Xun'er without gaining any benefits.
"Let's see how long you can keep up your tough talk."
Bai Shan's face turned livid. It was the first time someone had so blatantly ignored him. As soon as the words fell, he charged straight at Lin Xiu.
"If you want to fight, just say so." Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow and met him head-on.
Bai Shan decided to give Lin Xiu a memorable lesson. He mobilized the Dou Qi within him, clenched his right fist, and struck forcefully.
"Mountain Shaking Qi!"
His face twisted somewhat as Bai Shan shouted loudly.
"The boss is really angry. As soon as he makes a move, it's actually a Black Rank Mid-Level Dou Technique!"
"Now that guy Lin Xiu is in trouble. Even a Second Rank Wind Wolf would end up with a limp leg from a hit, and hitting him would at least result in broken bones."
The two people who followed saw Bai Shan make his move and couldn't help but be astonished, their eyes widening.
The Wind Wolf's thighs were robust, its muscles well-defined, looking much stronger than Lin Xiu's slender arms.
Yet, now, Lin Xiu was using his palm to meet Bai Shan's fist, making them unable to look directly.
"A freshman is just a freshman, actually daring to use his palm to block. Lin Xiu, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
A flash of ruthlessness appeared in Bai Shan's eyes.
