Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Looking at Li Hongying's eyes, which were filled with grievance, anger, and a hint of scheming, Lu Yunshi suddenly paused, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.

"Let me ask you something first. Is what you're talking about related to the book?"

"Books? What books?" Li Hongying blinked, somewhat puzzled. What did the boss's loss of virginity have to do with books? Did they read books while...playing such a dangerous game?

“It’s alright.” Lu Yunshi shook his head and then said, “I can only say that things have nothing to do with what you think. My soul and body are still pure.”

“So that means…” Li Hongying’s eyes lit up. Lu Yunshi nodded at her expression, thinking to himself, “You’re not completely stupid.”

"Boss, so you really did resist her tyranny for my sake?"

"..." Lu Yunshi remained silent, only raising his cup to drink tea. However, just as the hot tea entered his stomach, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked the light beside him, followed by the sound of a hand slapping on the table.

"Hmm?" Lu Yunshi looked at the person to the side with some surprise. It was someone he didn't recognize.

The person in front of me had a sinister face and some strange and unusual patterns on his neck. Although he looked at me with a slight smile, I still felt uneasy.

"Do you need an autograph? I didn't bring a pen." Lu Yunshi paused for a moment, then said.

The man seemed a little taken aback by what he heard, as if he hadn't expected Lu Yunshi's first words to be this.

But soon, he scoffed, a disdainful expression on his face. "Give me your autograph? You think you're worthy?"

"Didn't you want an autograph?" Lu Yunshi looked at the other person with interest. "Then... you want a photo? That's fine too, but I don't provide the equipment, and the price for a photo is five hundred gold coins."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man laughed. "The top student in your academy's mid-level assessment this year? This is the kind of style? I thought there was something special about it, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect... it's really disappointing."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He and the others immediately changed their expressions and showed hostility towards the man, while Lu Yunshi's expression remained unchanged.

"So you're not from our college after all? I knew the style of your clothes wasn't quite what I remembered. So... are you from one of the other three colleges? Which one? West? South? North?"

"South Academy, Demon Race - Nightshade." Nightshade raised his head slightly, as if it were a name to be proud of.

"Nightmare?" Lu Yunshi's pupils dilated slightly, then he looked at Xiao He and the others. "Who is Nightmare?"

Seemingly understanding Lu Yunshi's meaning, the anger on everyone's bodies vanished instantly, and Lao Qi shrugged.

"Who knows? Probably some nobody?"

"If you pay me, I don't mind hearing your story," Lao Liu suggested, giving him a thumbs-up.

"I know, I know." Li Hongying excitedly raised her hand, which slightly improved Nightmare's gradually darkened face. However, Li Hongying's next words made him extremely angry.

"The lame old lady who sells eggs on the east side of Holy Academy City raises a chicken called Nightmare. I was curious at the time why it was called that, since the name didn't have anything to do with chickens. Now I know, that chicken isn't an ordinary chicken, it's a chicken that can cultivate, a chicken that can go to school. If I had known that, I would have bought you to make soup for the eldest brother."

"Never miss out on such good things in the future. We must learn to see the extraordinary in the ordinary and invest in worthwhile things as early as possible. Look... if you had bought it back then, the return would have been more than a hundred times greater." Lu Yunshi nodded slightly and shared his experience.

Nightmare's face turned ashen with anger at everyone's words. "Heh, sharp-tongued, but I wonder how good your fighting skills are? If you're not very capable, then your academy will be utterly disgraced."

After saying that, Nightshade's aura spread out, indicating that he was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the intensity of his aura clearly showed that his strength was not limited to that.

Its true strength is probably no less than Jiang's.

Hearing this, Lu Yunshi had a slight doubt in his heart, but he looked at the other party and appeared calm and composed under the pressure of this aura. Even Nightshade himself felt strange and vaguely realized that Lu Yunshi was indeed not as simple as he seemed.

"Putting aside matters of face, what you're saying makes it sound like you have a lot of opinions about me?"

"Of course?" Nightshade sneered.

"I killed your parents? If so, I'm very sorry, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences," Lu Yunshi asked.

The words had barely left his mouth when Nightmare's gloomy face suddenly loomed close to Lu Yunshi's. "You don't have that ability."

"So I cheated on you? If that's the case, I'm really sorry, but it's normal, after all, who wouldn't love me?" Lu Yunshi laughed as he spoke, feeling rather embarrassed, but in Nightmare's eyes, that laughter was sarcastic.

"you......"

Nightmare took a deep breath, but was interrupted by Lu Yunshi raising his hand. "Enough, I don't have that much time to chat with you. Let's get down to business."

"..." Nightmare was stunned for a moment. Interrupted by Lu Yunshi, most of his anger dissipated, and even his momentum weakened. "Isn't it you who's talking nonsense?"

Lu Yunshi waved his hand. "I told you not to talk nonsense with me, let's get down to business. What are you doing here? Fighting?"

Nightmare laughed in fury. "I'm going to hit you, so what?"

"Of course we should accept the challenge," Lu Yunshi said, standing up.

The moment Lu Yunshi stood up, Xiao He and the others stood up without saying a word. Even Hong Yi, who had his face buried in the rice bowl, realized something was wrong. He pulled his face out of the rice bowl, looked around in confusion, and, not understanding what was going on, he also stood up and stared at Nightshade with a fierce look.

"Want to come along?" Nightshade chuckled. "But you seem to have misunderstood something; I'm not alone either."

After he finished speaking, several more people slowly walked over and stood behind Nightshade. Each of them had a powerful aura and their eyes were full of hostility.

"One, two, three, four..." Old Six counted the men one by one, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. "Brother, this number of people isn't enough to cause trouble in front of our boss. You should at least know whose territory this is, right?"

Upon hearing this, ninety percent of the students in the cafeteria stood up, staring intently at Nightshade and his group.

The cafeteria was filled not only with average students, but also with some advanced students. Being stared at by these people, even Nightmare and his group felt a chill run down their spines.

Nightmare's momentum, which had been boosted by the arrival of reinforcements, collapsed once again. He gave Lu Yunshi a deep look, then left without saying a word.

"This is so strange!" Lu Yunshi said, looking at the other person's back.

"No matter what, the fact that people from other colleges suddenly came to cause trouble means something must have happened. Judging from what they said, they're probably after your number one ranking, Boss," Xiao He said with a smile.

"Tsk, I knew this title would be troublesome." Lu Yun sighed, then suddenly looked at the students still standing in the cafeteria. Seeing that they hadn't sat down but were looking at him with very excited eyes, he felt very strange.

Lu Yunshi turned to look at Lao Liu, only to find that the other man's gaze was evasive.

"Um... I haven't put on the pants I just borrowed from Lao Qi yet, I'll go first."

Seeing the sixth brother leave in a hurry, Lu Yunshi looked at the seventh brother, who also blinked and quickly said something.

"Um, how could Lao Liu lie to you, Boss? He clearly borrowed a skirt. I have to go and confront him about this."

"Hmm?" Seeing that Lao Qi also left quickly, Lu Yunshi shifted his gaze again, only to find that there was no one else around. At some point, only Hong Yi remained in the entire cafeteria.

Lu Yunshi glanced at Hong Yi, whose face was full of honesty and naivety, sighed, and left without saying anything.

"Huh? Why didn't you ask me?" Hong Yi clicked his tongue, sat down again, and lifted his rice bowl. "Although I really don't know."
