Pinliang wasn't afraid of getting beaten up, but Xiaofu was. One slap from Lin Yi would be enough to kill him.
Lin Yi put the one thousand kuai into his pocket- he didn't care about the money. He only did it to annoy Pinliang a little, making him shoot himself in the foot. It was also a way to cover up his helplessness in losing, in case Pinliang used the opportunity to force Mengyao to abdicate again.
Lin Yi took the money and left. Pinliang cursed Lin Yi for being a coward in his heart, but he didn't dare say it out loud in front of everyone. If he did, the students in the audience might start cursing at him!
After all, everyone saw that Pinliang had lost, and it was reasonable for Lin Yi to reject his challenge. In their eyes, Pinliang was being shameless. If Pinliang showed even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, the students might think that he was a sore loser.
And so, Pinliang didn't have the face to continue setting up the arena. He quickly packed up with Xiaofu and left the arena under the disdainful gazes of the students.
The other students dispersed after the two left, and the commotion died down just as quickly as it started. Some of the nosy students had already uploaded the battle report to the school's BBS forum, and Mengyao and Yushu were the first ones to see the results.
"Yeah, Shield Bro didn't disappoint us! He beat Pinliang!" Yushu said excitedly as she pointed at the post.
Mengyao, on the other hand, wasn't as excited as Yushu. She sighed helplessly. "It looks like Lin Yi won, but he still lost. Lin Yi really can't do anything to Pinliang with that mid-level Golden Cicada underwear on … …"
"That's true, but Yao Yao, we should be satisfied. This result is much better than I expected!" Yushu said. "At least Pinliang can't use this to force us to abdicate and become your bodyguard. We don't have to rack our brains to find an excuse to reject him. As long as I steal his treasure, he'll be waiting to be beaten up, roar roar roar roar roar … "
"Shu, why do you have such a creepy laugh … …" Mengyao's hair stood on end from Yushu's laugh.
"It's been a while since I've messed with people. I'm a little excited now that there's business!" Yushu said embarrassedly.
Lin Yi's call came in the middle of their conversation. Mengyao picked it up. "Lin Yi, you're back?"
"Yeah, I met Zhong Pingliang earlier …" Lin Yi said.
Mengyao continued before Lin Yi could finish. "Yeah, I know. I saw the live broadcast on the school's BBS, you beat him … …"
"What do you mean 'knocked down'? If it was someone else, they would have died long ago. He's not injured at all. This mid-grade golden cicada underwear is really strange! "Lin Yi said with a bitter smile.
"Shield bro, don't worry. Shu will take care of the rest for you! " Yushu grabbed the phone and said to Lin Yi. "Shield bro used to be the one protecting me. This time, I'm going to protect Shield bro!"
"You? Done? "Lin Yi blinked.
"Shu wants to trade Pinliang's mid-grade golden cicada underwear … …" Mengyao explained Shu's idea to Lin Yi.
"You can do that?" Lin Yi didn't even think of using his low-grade golden cicada underwear to trade Pinliang's commodity one! If it really worked, then Pinliang was really unlucky!
"Roar roar roar … … Of course it works." Mengyao mimicked Yushu and laughed evilly.
"… …" Lin Yi was stunned. "Miss, when did Shu infect you?"
"What do you mean infect? We've always been alike, alright? "Mengyao hmphed.
"Alright, I won't bother then. I'll wait for the good news." Lin Yi said. "I'll go back first then. I'll pick you guys up tonight! "
It was the weekend, and although there were people in school, they were all electives. They didn't have to go. Usually, when Lin Yi wasn't home, Mengyao and Yushu would come to school. Mengyao and Yushu only came to school for class- they wouldn't come if Lin Yi was at home.
Lin Yi came to school, but he didn't plan on going to the electives. He'd just gathered the Rainbow Steel, Pure Yellow Jade, and Blue Crystal. It wasn't a big amount, but he wanted to go back and try making the jade space!
After all, Lin Yi had been looking forward to this for a long time. Now that he had all the materials, of course he wanted to give it a try.
"Okay, see you tonight … …" Mengyao said.
Lin Yi turned around and got into Han Xiaopo's car. "Let's go back to the villa in the Xueshang district." Lin Yi said.
"Okay, boss." Han Xiaopo nodded and started the car.
At the same time, Pinliang and Xiaofu escaped to a secluded place and sat down in a pavilion, panting heavily.
This was the school's little forest. In the summer, these pavilions were a haven for young people to love, study, and play cards, but in the winter, there was no one around. No one was stupid enough to come here in the cold.
"What a miscalculation, who would've thought that Lin Yi would come back at this time!" Pinliang said angrily. "My mid-tier golden cicada undershirt can defend against attacks from practitioners below Sky class, but Lin Yi is still an Earth class mid phase peak! He can still send me flying!"
"Yeah, we wouldn't have held this arena if we'd known this would happen. Maybe we could've changed the rules when Lin Yi came, instead of letting Lin Yi come up!" Xiaofu nodded in agreement.
"Things were going pretty well at first, and I thought I'd go to Mengyao and Yushu and force them to let me be their bodyguard. It didn't matter if they were willing or not, as long as I became their bodyguard, everything would be a lot smoother from here on out! Wasn't Lin Yi disliked back then? "Pinliang's plan wasn't bad, but there were some problems in implementing it.
"I wonder if Mengyao knows about this?" Xiaofu hesitated. "Liang Bro, maybe you should give Yushu a call and see what they're thinking? Maybe they've already seen the situation, or maybe they'll let Lin Yi say something unfavorable to Liang Bro? "
"Not bad, that's a good suggestion. Lin Yi's a sly bastard, I need to give Yushu a call and tell her that Lin Yi's shameless act this time!" Pinliang quickly took out his phone and called Yushu.
