Chapter 18: The Cold Left Wing

  Five hundred onlookers were stunned, and even if they were beaten to death, they would not have thought that Ye Huan had become like this, without sympathy, without charity, and some even just a sentence that was close to ridicule!

  What infuriated them even more was that after this provocative opening, Ye Huan launched into a speech full of sarcasm and ridicule, although the content was all wrapped up in righteous-sounding words. But stripped of its elegant language, the speech boiled down to saying that his 108 followers were incredibly wise, while the 500 onlookers who refused his summons were ignorant and foolish...

  Gradually, the onlookers could no longer bear it, and several people hummed in anger, turned around and walked away. Others also felt ashamed and silently shook their heads, pulling away from Ye Huan. Of course, there were also a few hot-blooded boys whose faces were filled with anger, they slowly drew out their weapons, lightly tapping on their armor, but... looking at the 108 fully armed followers beside Ye Huan, they angrily put their weapons back!

  ……

  "Do you think I'm being too much?"

  When all this was over, Ye Huan walked back to the dormitory and saw Bai Xiaobai following behind her with a strange expression: she lowered her head, quietly fiddling with her fingers, her small mouth opening and closing as if wanting to say something.

  "Hmm, I've got it!" Bai Xiaowei finally spoke up after a long time. "Boss, what you did just now... hmm, how to put it, it's like those 500 classmates were just clowns in a circus or monkeys in a zoo, and you teased them with food, only to take the food away in the end. The feeling is really not good!"

  "You're absolutely right, this is exactly what I wanted!"

  "This, is this intentional?" Bai Xiaobai stopped in her tracks. In her impression, Ye Huan was not such a cold-blooded person, how could he say something so heartless today!

  But soon, he quickly shook his head, "Heh heh, boss don't scare people like that, I know you're not that kind of person, won't intentionally mock or take revenge on someone just because they were rejected... right, you must be sick, your brain's not clear!"

  This little fool, is he so confident in himself?

  At this time, Ye Huan still had a straight face. He pointed to his own eyes and said, "Look here, my eyes are very clear and have spirit, right? This shows that I am absolutely sober, and what happened earlier was all intentional."

  Bai Xiaobai finally fell into a daze, his big eyes slowly widening as if he had never seen Ye Huan's expression before. But after a few seconds, he laughed again, "Heh, boss don't hide it from me, I know you must have a reason for doing this, right? Tell me quickly!"

  This silly fool!

  Ye Huan finally smiled comfortably, to be honest, just now when he was mocking the 500 onlookers, even Ruxiu, his iron-clad loyal party member, showed a dissatisfied expression, but only Bai Xiaobai...

  It's really great to be understood by others!

  "Of course I have my reasons, but...do you really want to hear them? I'm afraid you won't understand!"

  Ye Huan smiled and opened his mouth, but at this moment, he felt the temperature around him drop. This snow-covered land, which was originally minus twenty degrees Celsius, seemed to have entered the Antarctic or Arctic permafrost in an instant, so cold that he couldn't help shivering. Seeing a figure clearly in front of him, he sighed helplessly, "Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer to explain..."

  A cold figure stood opposite him.

  This is a girl with long black hair, wearing a snow-white robe, at the tender age of fifteen or sixteen, but with an indifference on her face that doesn't match her age. She stands on the path that Ye Huan must take to return to her dormitory, her feet treading on the snowy ground, extending out a large area of hard ice, and even the white clouds above are drawn into her aura, becoming dark and overcast, with goose feather-like snowflakes falling from the sky.

  She is Shura, that unconventional girl who rejected Ye Huan's invitation in person but helped him speak well behind his back.

  But she looks like this now...

  Is it here for revenge?

  "What do you want to do?" Bai Xiaowei's small face immediately lost its blood color, he frantically waved his arm and shouted, "Lü Xiu, Adolph, where have you two gone? Come quickly to help! Shiro has come to kill us!... Oh heavens, how can this monster be here? We're just a first-level soul master, how are we supposed to protect the boss?"

  Fortunately, the savior arrived soon.

  That was Adolf, who was crouching behind a dormitory counting gold coins. Every time he counted one, he would lick it with his tongue, making an obscene gesture that made several girls nearby vomit on the spot. Then, he felt the atmosphere here was not right, and almost no one saw his action clearly. Just half a second later, he stood in front of Ye Huan with a swagger.

  "Hey, beautiful, want to engage in some intense exercise?"

  Adolf opened his hands, and in the palms were two clusters of dark green flames that emitted a foul odor, but also immediately melted the surrounding ice and snow.

  Bai Xiaobai finally let out a sigh of relief, he tightly grabbed Ye Huan's arm and in the lowest voice said, "Boss, hurry up and run, the masters are about to clash, be careful not to get dragged down by these two monsters!"

  "Huh? Their strength has reached this point?" Ye Huan's eyes immediately filled with interest, "Even if it's seven or eight meters away, can it still affect us?"

  This sentence was asking his Knights Commander - Rusyu had also rushed over.

  Lelouch gazed intently at the two confronting each other for a while, then clenched his fists as if he wanted to exchange blows with Shiro, but Adolf had already taken the lead. The lone fighter Lelouch could only shake his head, "If they really burst out, both of them can destroy everything within a radius of ten meters... Ah, what intense pressure! If I were to face one of them alone, I could only win after three hundred moves, and that would come at a considerable cost!"

  "But... " He furrowed his brow again, "Neither of these two has a weapon. If I were facing a Shura with a long spear in hand or an Adolf with dual guns..."

  He didn't continue speaking, but Ye Huan had already understood, "If you can retrieve the Stone Sword, will you be able to truly defeat them? Regardless of whether they have any weapons or not!"

  Lucy smiled proudly.

  At this time, Adolph's flames and Shiro's icy cold air had already collided with each other, the air was filled with the sound of 'crackling' as the air currents intertwined. Seeing this scene, Ye Huan couldn't help but feel a little excited... um, although it was a bit dangerous, being able to appreciate a high-level battle up close seemed like a pretty good deal.

  What made Adolf disappointed was that he was eager to make a move, but Shura didn't have the intention of fighting. She just hummed coldly and said, "Adolf, get out of my way. Since two years ago when you exchanged your dual guns for a box of hemp, you haven't had the qualification to stand in front of me... Besides, rest assured that Ye Huan saved my life, so I won't lay hands on him this lifetime!"

  Adolf gave an inquiring look.

  Ye Huan nodded and let Xiuluo walk in front of her.

  "I just came to tell you one thing……" Shura stared into Ye Huan's eyes, coldly saying: "Ye Huan, you've changed. The hero from back then who would sacrifice himself for his friends and never begrudge sympathy even to his enemies has disappeared. Now, you're stingy, despicable, shameless, just like a petty, narrow-minded, sniveling insect!"

  After she finished speaking, she lifted her head and walked away with big strides.

  Thin?

  Despicable?

  Shameless?

  "What an interesting guy!"

  Ye Huan rubbed his chin, suddenly laughed out loud, and looked at Xiū Luó with eyes full of interest. "Xiao Bai, continue our previous conversation... and you, Lǔ Xiū, listen too... Do you know why I deliberately teased those 500 classmates?"

  "In fact, these 500 people resisted my temptation with gold coins and adhered to their own beliefs, which has already earned my respect... I respect them, really deeply respect them, so I must give them some stimulation, only in this way can I make them followers of the Salvation Sect!"

  Lushe's face was incredulous, this simple quasi-knight absolutely could not understand a psychologist's sinister idea, "This, how is this possible?"

  "Yes, I just humiliated them, and in a few days they'll be kneeling at my feet, calling me leader or rabbi. It sounds like a fairy tale, but...” Ye Huan smiled with a hint of evil, “Just watch, on New Year's Eve, at least half of them will become Dan Ge's most devout followers, especially this Shura, I've already decided!"
