Chapter 1380: The Crazy Little Fatty

It sounded perfunctory, but Ye Yuan was telling the truth.

Teacher Fan naturally didn't believe it, but when he went back to check the first floor, he found nothing—everything was as usual.

Though it felt utterly incredible, the matter had to be dropped.

Ye Yuan continued his life as usual. After about ten days of recuperation, he planned to enter the Sword Grave again.

Just as he stepped out, he suddenly noticed a commotion in the academy; everyone was rushing out of the school grounds.

"Hey, who would have thought someone in Wumeng Royal City would dare to stroke the Qin family's whiskers? Is he tired of living?"

"Kidnapping that she-devil Qin Peiyu—what was he thinking? How deep is his grudge against the Qin family? Even if he kidnapped her, did he have to take her to Wumeng Square to be publicly humiliated? Isn't that just asking for the Qin family's wrath?"

"By the way, what's that kid's name? Seems like he's a freshman this year, right?"

"Yeah, they say it's Xie Jingyi. A grown man with such a girly name, hahaha..."

...

Ye Yuan's steps suddenly halted, his scalp tingling.

Over a year had passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Yuan had been completely immersed in comprehending the laws of the sword, almost forgetting that name.

But now, that name re-entered his life—in such a manner.

What was this little fatty up to?

Ye Yuan quickly understood: he was doing it for Ye Yuan to see!

This guy... was using this act to show his allegiance, to prove that he and Ye Yuan were on the same side!

But wasn't this going a bit too far?

Slapping the Qin family's face in front of the entire city—that was practically suicide!

The hatred level was absolutely maxed out!

Ye Yuan didn't dare hesitate. He dashed out of the academy at top speed.

Along the way, many thoughts crossed his mind.

Over the past year, the little fatty had probably done nothing but focus all his energy on tracking Qin Peiyu.

Given the Qin family's strength, after Ye Yuan had slapped Qin Peiyu into a pig's head last time, they would surely assign stronger guards to protect her.

The little fatty wasn't strong; kidnapping Qin Peiyu right under the noses of the Qin family's guards must have been incredibly difficult.

Yet, he had actually succeeded!

At this moment, Ye Yuan felt a pang of guilt. His earlier baseless suspicions had pushed the little fatty into such a dangerous situation.

Moreover, after kidnapping Qin Peiyu, the little fatty didn't handle it privately but tied her up in Wumeng Square, leaving no room for reconciliation with the Qin family!

The little fatty probably did this because he feared Ye Yuan still wouldn't trust him, thinking he and the Qin family were putting on an act for Ye Yuan.

Making such a big scene was intentional on the little fatty's part.

His goal was to leave himself no way out.

Ye Yuan didn't know what to say. The little fatty usually seemed cynical but was timid in action.

He never expected such a fierce side to his heart.

Ye Yuan moved like lightning, speeding toward Wumeng Square.

The incident had stirred up the whole city; the main roads were packed with people heading in that direction.

In his urgency, Ye Yuan chose to dart through small alleys.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out ahead, blocking his path.

"Ye Yuan, didn't expect this, did you? I've been waiting for this day for a long time! I thought you'd hide in the academy forever!" Jia Chong sneered.

He had been watching Ye Yuan's movements; as soon as Ye Yuan left the academy, he followed.

Wumeng Academy forbade private fights and student killings, but that rule only applied within the academy.

Outside the academy, one was responsible for one's own life and death.

Ever since the entrance assessment, Jia Chong's life had been miserable.

With zero points, he could barely move within the academy.

Clearing stages required spending points, but he had none.

Challenging others was futile—no one would accept.

That year, Jia Chong spent almost all his time doing missions.

Missions were time-consuming and laborious, and with his strength, he couldn't take on high-difficulty ones.

After a year of accumulation, Jia Chong had finally scraped together sixty or seventy points.

That year of time was practically wasted.

Seeing Su Yuecang, Xiang Zhuang, and others catching up, he was frantic.

All of this was Ye Yuan's fault!

So he kept an eye on Ye Yuan's movements, and today he finally got his chance.

Seeing Jia Chong, Ye Yuan frowned and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, get lost!"

Jia Chong laughed mockingly, "With your strength, you dare to act tough in front of me? Do you think it's still assessment day? Now, are you in a hurry to save that fat bastard? Heh, don't bother—he dared to provoke the Qin family, he's dead for sure! And you, Ye Yuan, the humiliation you brought me—I'll collect it all today, with interest! Today, you're dead too! You and that fat bastard can keep each other company on the road to the underworld!"

Ye Yuan was already anxious about the little fatty, and now Jia Chong was running into the line of fire.

He sneered, "Idiot! You don't even know your enemy, yet you dare to come and kill? Since you're asking for death, I don't mind sending you off!"

Jia Chong's expression changed. Suddenly, a chill wind swept by, and before he could draw his sword, he was frozen solid.

Guiyun's figure appeared before him; his eyes bulged wide.

Jia Chong never expected that Ye Yuan had a late-stage second-rank evil spirit by his side!

He suddenly realized how foolish he was—just as Ye Yuan said, he didn't even know all of his enemy's cards before recklessly coming to kill.

If that wasn't stupidity, what was?

But just then, a terrifying aura descended from the sky!

Guiyun's expression changed, and he retreated swiftly.

Two figures flashed out, blocking Jia Chong's path.

"Ye Yuan, he doesn't know your background, but I do! So this time, I brought a helper!"

The speaker was none other than Ye Yuan's archrival, Wang Song!

Beside him was a Heaven-Viewing Great Perfection expert!

"So you're Ye Yuan? I've been preparing for a whole year just to wait for you! Today, I can finally complete my mission!" said the Heaven-Viewing Great Perfection expert.

Since that incident, Qin Nantian had assigned a Heaven-Viewing Great Perfection expert to Wang Song's disposal.

The purpose, naturally, was to kill Ye Yuan!

With him dealing with Guiyun, Ye Yuan would be dead for sure!

Seeing this, Jia Chong couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Hahaha, Ye Yuan, you've offended quite a few people! Even if I don't kill you, you're doomed!"

Ye Yuan looked at Jia Chong as if he were an idiot and sneered, "Idiot! I've offended many people, but I also have many friends! Do you think a fool like you can kill me?"

Ye Yuan suddenly shouted, "Come out! Are you waiting for them to kill me before you show yourself?"
