"Ha, so you're a student from an ordinary class, huh? People like that are worthy of being your enemy?"

Seeing Ye Fan glaring viciously at Qin Tian, Zhang Chen glanced at Qin Tian and then sneered.

"The enmity between us isn't something easily explained. But between him and me, it's either his death or mine—that's quite clear." Ye Fan said calmly.

Zhang Chen smiled, "That's simple then. We'll cripple him now; useless people have no place in East Han Academy. Then, once he's expelled, you can kill or torture him, and he won't be able to resist at all."

The two spoke lightly, as if treating Qin Tian's life and death as a joke.

After exchanging a glance, the two of them walked directly toward Qin Tian.

True Qi gathered within Qin Tian, knowing that this battle was unavoidable.

However, facing Ye Fan and Zhang Chen, he had no confidence in a guaranteed victory.

Especially since, even if he were to defeat or kill Ye Fan and Zhang Chen in front of Wang Tinghu and others, these two had strong backing that would likely bring endless trouble for him in the future.

"Ye Fan, what are you waiting for? With my help, make a move!"

Zhang Chen quietly said, and then he moved faster than Ye Fan, launching a punch at Qin Tian!

"Stop!"

As Qin Tian prepared to engage, a clear voice came from the side—it was a woman's voice!

With the voice came a figure in white!

Hearing the woman's words and seeing her figure, Qin Tian instinctively thought it was Murong Fei coming to intervene.

But when the woman landed and blocked Zhang Chen's punch, Qin Tian realized it wasn't Murong Fei, but the cold, stunning beauty who had killed the bandits on the plains!

This woman had a similar build and hairstyle to Murong Fei, even her voice was somewhat alike, which is why Qin Tian instinctively thought it was Murong Fei.

"Leng Yu!?"

Upon seeing the woman in white, Zhang Chen and Ye Fan exclaimed almost in unison.

This Leng Yu was one of the students in the Dragon Tiger Class, one of about ten girls among thirty, and an incredible beauty on par with Murong Fei.

This Leng Yu was also from one of the prestigious families in East Capital City, but she always held herself in high regard and seldom socialized with others. Many boys from Dragon Tiger Class tried to talk to her, all wealthy and handsome, yet she ignored them completely, not giving any face at all.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yu appeared here at this moment and even stopped Zhang Chen from killing Qin Tian.

"Miss Leng Yu, what are you doing here? There's no need for you to meddle in our affairs, right?" Zhang Chen said, "We're just dealing with a few weaklings. As a student of the Dragon Tiger Class, you should clearly choose a side."

"I haven't taken sides. You are bullying the weak, and I cannot allow it."

Leng Yu's words were icy, "Today's matter ends here, let it go, both of you."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Leng Yu's words, Ye Fan and Zhang Chen were stunned. Originally assuming Leng Yu was just righting an injustice, it now seemed that she was determined to save someone.

"And if I refuse to let it go?"

Zhang Chen, also a wealthy scion from East Capital, sneered, "Are you going to fight me, Leng Yu? You should consider it carefully; we are all students of the Dragon Tiger Class!"

"If you want to fight, bring it on."

Facing Zhang Chen's threat, Leng Yu's cold face showed no fear.

Ye Fan, understanding Leng Yu's family background, whispered, "The Leng Family in East Capital has someone in the military; it's not easy to deal with. Zhang Chen, let's give Miss Leng Yu some face this time. I can kill Qin Tian next time, how about that?"

In fact, Zhang Chen was also hesitant before, considering the Leng Family's strength in East Capital City, which ranked at least in the top ten, stronger than their Zhang Family. If the two families were to clash, the Zhang Family would suffer.

So, upon hearing Ye Fan's suggestion, Zhang Chen immediately took the way out and said, "Alright, next time then. Let's go!"

...

"Thank you for coming to my rescue, beautiful classmate," Qin Tian expressed his gratitude to Leng Yu after Ye Fan and Zhang Chen left. Previously on the plains, he didn't have the chance to even talk to this beauty, and now Leng Yu had unexpectedly come to his aid. Could this be real?

"I didn't expect it to be you."

Leng Yu turned to look at Qin Tian, "You don't need to thank me. Qin Tian, I remind you, with your identity, you'd better not cause trouble in East Han Academy, or the consequences will be severe."

After speaking, Leng Yu left.

But Qin Tian was baffled by her words, "Leng Yu, what do you mean by this? Don't cause trouble? I haven't caused any trouble, what consequences could there be?"

Leng Yu didn't respond to Qin Tian's words and left directly.

Qin Tian found the situation quite strange: "How can it be so coincidental that Leng Yu just happened to pass by in this desolate wilderness? This can't be right, it's too much of a coincidence..."

After the commotion with Ye Fan and Zhang Chen, the issue with Wang Haoran and Sun Xiaofei was unexpectedly resolved.

Wang Tinghu and Sun Xiaofei directed their anger at Ye Fan and Zhang Chen. Similarly, Wang Haoran was discontented with the arrogance of Ye Fan and the others. Remarkably, they talked things over, apologized to each other, and agreed that as students from the ordinary class, they shouldn't waste energy against each other but rather unite against the arrogant students from the Dragon Tiger Class.

Then a shocking scene unfolded for Qin Tian; at Sun Xiaofei's suggestion, Wang Tinghu and Wang Haoran reconciled, saying something about "no fight, no friendship," and they planned to go out drinking together.

Qin Tian was speechless, thinking to himself, "Is this really possible?"

"Qin Tian, we're going to have a drink to celebrate, come on, join us!" Wang Haoran said.

"I'm not going; I've got something to do, you guys go on. Haha, you guys change so quickly, I'm a bit out of the loop," Qin Tian laughed.

Wang Tinghu, embracing Wang Haoran's waist, said, "Qin Tian, you not drinking with us is not quite right! Our previous matters were misunderstandings, once we drink, we become friends afterward... Hahaha."

"I really have something to do. You guys go have a drink, I'll be off now."

Despite their persuasion, Qin Tian didn't join Wang Haoran and the others to drink. Instead, after they left, he headed to East Han Academy alone.

Ye Fan had found people from the Dragon Tiger Class to help him, combined with his backing from Spiritual Mountain Academy, making his power considerable. Qin Tian needed to come up with a plan quickly, or else he wouldn't be able to contend against Ye Fan and his many allies.

"Is it him? Are you sure?"

After Qin Tian left the woods, Leng Yu stood on a distant mountain peak, staring at Qin Tian's disappearing figure, and asked a person next to her wearing an iron mask.

The iron-masked person's voice was altered, deep and resonant, "It should be him. I will immediately proceed to confirm his identity."
