Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

"Can we fight again?"

The person in front of me asked, and there seemed to be some expectation in their words.

Xiao Yun raised his eyes and chuckled softly:

"able!"

Despite saying that, in reality, he had almost no strength left to fight.

Ultimately, it was the equipment and external forces that allowed him to reach his current combat strength, which cannot be compared with Qi Xiaoran's actual stats.

Just by slashing once, he had already depleted his mana bar, and his health was now less than half.

The tenth-tier [Poem of Blood and Fire] blood-burning effect is too terrifying. Even the blessing effect given by Ji Mingyu cannot offset the negative buff of blood-burning.

"I have one more sword..."

Xiao Yun's lips curled up as he looked at Qi Xiaoran:

"I wonder if killing you is enough?"

Even in such a desperate moment, Qi Xiaoran saw a sense of nonchalance in his eyes.

Then he laughed, a very happy laugh.

"Hahaha, that's enough, that's enough!"

He patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, completely disregarding the fact that the sword in his hand was about to touch his throat.

"But I don't want to die, and I don't want you to die either, so let's not strike with this sword."

He looked at Xiao Yun with undisguised admiration in his eyes.

Qi Xiaoran wanted to bring Xiao Yun under his command, but he also knew that he couldn't use force to subdue such a hidden genius. That would only make people resentful and escalate the conflict.

Persuading people with reason and appealing to their interests, taking things step by step, is the true way to succeed.

Across from him, Xiao Yun frowned, not quite understanding what he was up to.

The onlookers below watched intently as the atmosphere between the two grew increasingly tense.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems like a fight can't be fought anymore. A fight between two sides would be too damaging, and neither side could afford the cost."

"What do you mean 'seems like'? They definitely won't fight, okay? Didn't you see Minister Qi's eyes are practically drooling?"

"No, no, I think it's more like mutual respect between strong individuals..."

The crowd gossiped excitedly, but Qi Xiaoran ignored the bored group and simply looked at Xiao Yun:

"Brother, we were wrong about what happened today. It's all that kid Du Zhaoyan's fault... Oh, and that bastard Liu Yang too. Sigh, I was foolish to believe his nonsense."

As he spoke, anger flashed across his face, and he turned and shouted:

"Du Zhaoyan, you little brat, crawl over here and apologize to my brother!"

"Ah...no."

Du Zhaoyan walked to Qi Xiaoran's side with a bewildered look and whispered a reminder:

"Brother Qi, don't act rashly! Today's plan is to make an example of him and establish the prestige of our student council! It's not impossible for you to take Xiao Yun in, he's not much of a fighter now, just beat him down and make him your dog, right?"

"You son of a bitch, you look like a dog!"

Qi Xiaoran cursed angrily and slapped him on the head.

He was a man who valued talent. He not only respected Xiao Yun's talent, but also admired his talent, which was restrained yet vigorous and inspiring.

Du Zhaoyan's head was buzzing, and her mind went completely blank.

When she came to her senses, Du Zhaoyan found herself like a little chick, with Qi Xiaoran pressing her neck as she bowed to Xiao Yun.

"What bullshit plan? It was your bullshit plan that almost ruined my friendship with my brother Xiao Yun!"

Qi Xiaoran was still not satisfied, and pressed Du Zhaoyan's head down, saying:

"Kneel down and apologize properly to my brother Xiao Yun. If he's not satisfied, you don't need to get up!"

"No... Brother Qi, we're on the same side!"

"Don't try to get close to me. Who the hell is on your side?"

Qi Xiaoran quickly released his grip and looked at the silent Xiao Yun:

"Brother Xiao Yun, what do you think? Should we kill this scoundrel who twists the truth and stirs up trouble? No need for you to trouble yourself, I'll clean house myself!"

As he spoke, a large knife appeared in his hand, and he slashed at Du Zhaoyan's neck.

Upon seeing this, the onlookers gasped in surprise.

"Holy crap! This plot is blinding! How come the judge is about to be beheaded in the next turn?"

"This is...love—ah, this is..."

"Stop howling like a madman! Can someone give me a rundown of what happened? How did the plot twist so quickly?"

"Damn! So many plot twists, but someone should have died! We've fought this far and no one's died yet. I want to see a river of blood!"

However, Du Zhaoyan ultimately did not die.

As Qi Xiaoran's second-in-command, if he were to be killed for apologizing to him, he and the student council would likely become enemies.

Xiao Yun sighed inwardly and stopped Qi Xiaoran.

"Minister Qi, let it go. He's just doing his job for the student council."

Qi Xiaoran sheathed his sword and nodded:

"Since you've spoken, spare his life."

Du Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look of ecstatic joy at surviving a disaster:

"Xiao... no, thank you, Brother Yun, thank you, Brother Yun!"

He wept bitterly and clung to Xiao Yun's leg:

"Brother Yun, I was wrong. How could someone like you kill someone for no reason? Zhao Pengfei's dorm must have been at fault first!"

"Bah! I'd heard about Zhao Pengfei before. He's treacherous and cunning, always bullying others by abusing his power. And his lackey Liu Yang is even better at sweet talk and twisting the truth; he even fooled me!"

Xiao Yun nodded, expressing his strong agreement:

"Yeah, Liu Yang is really wicked... Let's just give him a quick death."

"What?! You spared his life, Brother Yun, you're so magnanimous!"

Du Zhaoyan pretended to be stupid, but was slapped on the head by her own minister:

"What do you mean, spare his life? Where is that bastard Liu Yang? I'm going to kill him myself and avenge my brother Yun!"

Du Zhaoyan's lips twitched slightly as she leaned close to his ear and said:

"You can't kill him, Brother Qi! Today's mission was to help Liu Yang seek justice. Now the suspect is perfectly fine, and you're going to kill the victim? What kind of image does that make? Our student council will lose all face, and all our hard work over this period will be wasted!"

"Heh, what are you babbling about? Today, one of my brothers has to die so I can have some peace and quiet. It's you or him, you decide."

Qi Xiaoran stroked the large sword in his hand, his expression unfriendly.

Du Zhaoyan remained silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a long sigh, and her whole body shrunk down as if all her strength had been drained.

"Bring Liu Yang... up here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yang was brought up by those who had been waiting for a long time.

Qi Xiaoran cast an approving glance at this perceptive fellow:

"Not bad, very efficient. What's your name? Which department are you in?"

"Hello Minister Qi, my name is Xie Yingjie, and I am currently... an unofficial member."

"Unofficial? What do you mean, unofficial? Haven't you always been a member of our student council? Xie...Deacon?"

In the current structure of the student union, deacons are already the core members.

Xie Yingjie was overjoyed to have risen from a labor dispatch worker to a core member:

"Thank you for your guidance, Minister!"

Qi Xiaoran smiled and waved for him to leave.

"So, Brother Xiao Yun, shall we go straight for the kill or follow the proper procedures?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Du Zhaoyan pounced on her:

"No, no, no, Master Yun, I beg you, let's just go through the motions!"

"Okay, one minute."

Xiao Yun nodded, and Du Zhaoyan was moved to tears.

Then, he turned to the other students who were still waiting, cleared his throat, and said:

"Classmates, after a misunderstanding, we have finally found out the truth!"

"Zhao Pengfei from dormitory 227 has repeatedly harmed our classmate Xiao Yun. Our classmate Xiao Yun could no longer tolerate it and was forced to fight back, which is legitimate self-defense."

"Zhao Pengfei and his accomplices were wolves in sheep's clothing and deserved to die. However, their accomplice, Liu Yang, distorted the truth about Black Panther and spread rumors, almost causing a major disaster. It was thanks to our classmate Xiao Yun's uprightness and refusal to submit to power, coupled with our Minister Qi's ability to distinguish right from wrong, that a tragedy was averted."

"Our student union never wrongs innocent people, nor does it let any bad person go unpunished. Given Liu Yang's egregious behavior, which seriously endangered public order and good customs in the dormitory building and damaged the relationship between the student union and outstanding students, he is sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yun raised his sword and chopped it down on Liu Yang's head.

puff-

Blood splattered everywhere, and the body was dismembered.

Fearing that Liu Yang might still have some trump card up his sleeve and was faking his death to deceive him, Xiao Yun made a series of moves. Black and red flames burned his brain, a sword was thrust into his heart, and finally he took Zhong Mo's ritual axe and severed his spine.

It shouldn't come back to life now.

The brutal and bloody scene horrified the surrounding audience, and some of the more timid ones even fainted.

Hundreds of terrified and awe-inspiring gazes were cast upon them.

This kid is terrifying; you must not provoke him lightly!

Xiao Yun remained calm, wiped the blood from his sword, and exhaled.

And so, the feud ended...

"Brother Xiao Yun, our student council was in the wrong today, and we are willing to make amends!"

"We'll see... I'm a little tired."

Xiao Yun waved his hand, and taking advantage of the remaining strength in his body, quickly pulled the others back to the dormitory.

Qi Xiaoran kept watching his back until they disappeared around the corner of the stairs before turning away.

Beside him, Du Zhaoyan sighed softly and continued to chair the symposium.

On the ground, the blood slowly congealed and dried, but the atmosphere of the symposium grew increasingly heated.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process today, the student council ultimately achieved its goal.

Resolutions were passed to share basic tools for creating blueprints, share basic construction work, and share information.

Each dormitory and small group has reached an agreement with the student union to jointly maintain the current order and ensure a stable development.

The student union has absorbed many neutral groups or individuals, further expanding its size and initially establishing a reward and punishment mechanism and a free market.

Perhaps it's for personal gain, or perhaps it's driven by hidden ambitions, but currently, the order in Dormitory Building No. 3 is unified, and the overall situation is developing in a positive direction.

Once everything had settled down, Du Zhaoyan went to Qi Xiaoran's office, ready to receive the punishment she deserved.

"What punishment? You did so well, why should I punish you?"

"Ah, but the current situation doesn't meet our expectations. The plan was to have only our voices in the dormitory building, but now... at best, we can only be considered to be in control and coexist peacefully. It might be a thankless task later on..."

Du Zhaoyan sighed softly and continued:

"Furthermore, I didn't handle the tasks you assigned in a timely manner, and I didn't discover beforehand that Xiao Yun was the person you were looking for, which caused too many complications today..."

"No, you did very well!"

Qi Xiaoran smiled and said:

"How could my initiative in seeking out Xiao Yun compare to the unforgettable way we met today? If I manage to recruit Xiao Yun into my ranks, you'll get the credit!"

Du Zhaoyan was taken aback, overjoyed but also somewhat puzzled:

"Brother Qi, I still don't understand why you value that guy so much?"

"This is not something you should care about."

Qi Xiaoran waved his hand and said:

"Just follow the chairman's plan. As for anything outside the plan... I'll handle it."
