Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

“Having more people is indeed an advantage, but…” Lu Yunshi looked around at Zhao Dali’s underlings, then suddenly raised his hand and waved it gently in Zhao Dali’s direction.

In an instant, at least 60% of the students who had been surrounding Lu Yunshi turned their attention to Zhao Dali himself.

"Huh?" Zhao Dali broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this. "No... what do you mean?"

"Isn't the meaning obvious? They're my people." Lu Yunshi shrugged and said this casually, leaving Li Hongying and the other four people beside him stunned.

They were all ready to have an exciting battle with their boss, but you told the other side's underlings that they were from your own faction?

This...this is hard to judge.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! They are all my trusted confidants; there's no way they would betray me." Zhao Dali waved his hand dismissively, unwilling to believe such an outrageous fact.

Although these underlings didn't follow him from the beginning, they had been with him for over a year, so how could they belong to someone else?

"Sorry, Boss Zhao, we didn't betray you. We've always been Brother Lu's men." One of the henchmen shrugged at Zhao Dali, but there was no sign of apology on his face.

Isn't this a kind of...

"You...you all." Zhao Dali's finger trembled as he pointed at his underlings.

"I'm surprised too. You went out with your underlings today, and you even called out all the undercover agents I planted in your group. But I have to say, I love your expression, like you've been raped and then forced to eat a pile of shit."

Seeing the other party's exasperated expression, Lu Yunshi couldn't help but laugh. This scene was really entertaining. He should have prepared in advance and recorded Zhao Dali's expression just now; it would have been very interesting.

As for why Zhao Dali had so many spies around him, it was actually just a random move that Lu Yunshi made on a whim.

To ensure her safety among the elementary students, Li Hongying only needed her own power. But to gain more control and even obtain more resources without anyone knowing, she needed more authority.

Lu Yunshi's eight brothers and one sister each play a role in this process, and the people in front of them exist because of an idea that Lu Yunshi proposed. The one who will carry it out is the fourth brother who has already gone up the mountain.

Originally, Lu Yunshi only wanted to place some people around the strongest but uncontrollable eldest brother among these elementary students to monitor whether their daily competition for resources posed a threat to him.

I never expected the fourth brother to be so ruthless. Just to be on the safe side, he actually sent so many people over there.

After the fourth brother went up the mountain, he handed over the list of these people to Lu Yunshi. Heaven knows what Lu Yunshi felt when he looked at the hundreds of names on the list.

Of course, his main idea was that the fourth brother was a spendthrift. Every single person on the list had to be paid a salary, and at a high price, otherwise who would work for him?

After nurturing it for over a year, he finally used it this time. Lu Yunshi could only sigh and couldn't feel truly happy.

Looking back carefully, when he suddenly decided to do this, it was mainly because he had too much money in his pocket and got carried away.

So he kept thinking of ways to spend the money, and as a result, after coming up with one method, he became poor.

Yes, except for now, the frozen expression on Zhao Dali's face is really too vivid.

Lu Yunshi assured himself that he would rarely see such a classic blank expression again.

That resentment, that hatred, that fear, and that clarity of mind created Zhao Dali's complex thoughts at this moment.

"Your boss Zhao is now in your hands. How many crystals you can get from him depends on your own abilities."

After leaving Zhao Dali's fate to others, Lu Yunshi gave Li Hongying and the others a look. The eighth and ninth brothers stayed behind to help, while the rest of them turned around and left the courtyard.

"No, boss... this... I..." The seventh brother, still not quite understanding, didn't even know what to say. He wanted to complain, but where should he begin?

"Don't be surprised, he's the boss, it's normal for him to do this." Li Hongying said with a proud look on her face, her hands naturally reaching for Lu Yunshi's arms.

However, at that moment, two women stood in front of them.

Upon seeing Lu Yunxi clearly, Lu Yunshi felt a chill run down his spine.

Here I am, this is the feeling. I've never felt that icy coldness so clearly before.

I knew it! Even if you bought it from a secondhand market, the thermal stone shouldn't be broken.

So she's the young lady, that makes sense.

Lu Yunshi swallowed hard, looked down at his arm, and thankfully he had instinctively dodged it; otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Among those present, the eldest brother, Lu Yunshi, was sweating profusely. The seventh and sixth brothers exchanged glances upon seeing this scene, sensing that the atmosphere was not right and dared not speak. Meanwhile, the fifth brother, Li Hongying, revealed a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Across from her, Senior Sister Li's eyes kept flashing, seemingly trying to kindly inform Lu Yun that the situation was critical. Lu Yunxi, on the other hand, had a calm expression, but anyone who had been hit by Lu Yunxi knew that this was how she looked before she was about to hit someone.

No, I have to do something. Lu Yunshi mustered his courage. He didn't expect Lu Yunxi to appear here, but now it was time for him to make his appearance.

Lu Yunshi's expression changed instantly, his eyes filled with love as he gazed at Lu Yunxi tenderly, his expression a mixture of three parts awkwardness, three parts surprise, and four parts joy.

"Yun...Yunxi, no, Miss Lu, what are you doing here?"

As he spoke, Lu Yunshi walked step by step toward Lu Yunxi, his gaze blank, as if both of his eyes were fixed on Lu Yunxi.

"Speaking of which, the young lady initially asked me to act, but the main goal was to perform in the mountains. Now that we're down here, is it really necessary for me to act?"

Lu Yunshi suddenly thought of this question, but he was destined to get no answer. However, putting on such a show in front of outsiders and interacting with Lu Yunxi had almost become his passive position, so whether it was necessary or not was no longer important.

Ultimately, the reason he's putting on this act now is mainly because he's inexplicably guilty and doesn't know what to say, so he might as well put on a mask and slowly analyze how to get through this ordeal.

He hesitated for a long time, then pulled out a love letter and handed it over.

"I have been cultivating all along, and I have nowhere to express my longing for you. In the end, I can only gather it all into this letter. If... if Miss Lu is willing, please open it and take a look."

Taking the envelope from Lu Yunshi, Lu Yunxi suddenly smiled, a smile as beautiful as a flower, yet giving off an inexplicably cold feeling.

"You remember what I said, that's good, but... you still don't learn your lesson." Lu Yunxi's lips moved slightly as she spoke words that only Lu Yunshi could hear.

"I'll do anything as long as Miss Lu is happy."
