"Were the captain and the others forced out by you?"
The mont those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the training ground instantly turned cold.
Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and glared at Yu Feng. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"We just arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. We've barely even seen Yu Tianheng and the others. How could we possibly force them out?"
No matter how one thought about it, this matter had nothing to do with them.
"Please don't casually pin baseless accusations on us."
Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned cold.
She did not speak further, but the aura around her already made her stance clear.
Ning Rongrong also put away the smile on her face and raised an eyebrow. "Exactly. Yu Feng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want."
"You claim we forced Yu Tianheng and the others out. Do you have any evidence?"
Lin Qingmo, on the other hand, showed no sign of anger at all.
In his view, this young Yu Feng simply had a bit of pride.
After being completely crushed by a single person, it was not hard to understand why he would think this way.
"Yu Feng, you think we forced Yu Tianheng and the others out. What's your reason?"
"Reason?"
Yu Feng stiffened his neck.
"If you hadn't defeated our entire team at the Great Soul Arena and made Yu Tianheng and the others lose all face, would they have felt they couldn't stay in the academy?"
"If you hadn't co in and imdiately taken the main positions of the Royal Fighting Team, would they have left?"
The more he spoke, the more convinced he beca, the anger in his eyes growing stronger.
"You must have done it for the Royal Fighting Team's positions!"
In his eyes, Lin Qingmo was an outsider.
He had taken their team and forced out their captain.
It was simply going too far!
"Yu Feng! Shut your mouth!"
Dugu Yan also shouted, her expression equally displeased.
"Yu Tianheng and the others had already submitted their withdrawal application before I even brought Qingmo to the academy. They had long decided to go to Shrek Academy. This has nothing to do with them!"
"And Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Osler only left because Yu Tianheng promised them benefits!"
Yu Feng froze, the anger on his face instantly stiffening. "What? Benefits?"
"What else did you think?"
Dugu Yan shot him an annoyed glare.
"This entire matter has nothing to do with them from beginning to end. Stop making blind accusations without knowing the facts."
Ye Lingling also took a half-step forward and spoke softly. "I also received a ssage from the captain. He said he would give many benefits and resources, but I refused."
She then looked at Yu Feng. "You weren't there at that ti."
"Uh…"
Only then did Yu Feng rember.
Because he had lost so miserably, he had flown to the back mountain forest to vent his frustration.
By the ti he returned, he had already heard the news that Yu Tianheng and the others had withdrawn.
Yu Feng stood frozen on the spot.
So he had misunderstood everything!
A flush quickly spread from the roots of his ears across his face.
He stood there at a loss, fingers clutching the corner of his clothes, his gaze darting around, not daring to et Lin Qingmo's eyes at all.
After all that, it turned out he had made a complete fool of himself.
He had even questioned them in public and nearly started a fight.
Too embarrassing!
After a long while,
Under everyone's amused gazes, Yu Feng awkwardly squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "S-sorry. I spoke without understanding the situation. I apologize to you."
"It's fine. Now that the misunderstanding is cleared up, that's what matters. Since we'll be on the sa team from now on, being able to resolve conflicts openly is a good thing."
Lin Qingmo smiled, his tone casual, clearly not taking the matter to heart at all.
After speaking, his gaze fell on Yu Feng.
From his neat short hair to his soft jawline, then to his slender waist, and finally to the hand clutching his clothes, with its delicate fingers.
Lin Qingmo could not help but mutter inwardly, 'Why does this guy look so much like a woman?'
In the original novel, Yu Feng was a man, an agility-attack system soul master of the Royal Fighting Team.
But in the original manhua, Yu Feng was actually a girl disguised as a man, the granddaughter of the Speed Clan leader, Bai Chenxiang.
In this Douluo world he was in now, was it based on the novel or the manhua?
If this Yu Feng was truly Bai Chenxiang in disguise, then the Speed Clan was sothing he could get in contact with ahead of ti.
If he rembered correctly, the Speed Clan leader, Bai He, possessed an immortal herb called the Crystal Dragon Blood Ginseng.
"!!!"
Yu Feng was already feeling extrely uncomfortable after his earlier apology.
Now, being stared at by Lin Qingmo's gaze that seed to pierce through him, he felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, his scalp tingling.
He suddenly raised his head and glared at Lin Qingmo, his previous embarrassnt instantly turning into explosive irritation.
"Hey! What kind of look is that?!"
"I've already apologized. What more do you want?"
"Don't tell you're thinking of using your position as captain to make things difficult for ? Are you really that petty and vengeful?!"
As he spoke, he tried to look fierce.
But his ears were still bright red, making him completely unthreatening, more like a puffed-up little lion.
Seeing him like this, Lin Qingmo could not help but laugh.
With a teasing gaze, he asked with a smile, "I'm just curious. Yu Feng, are you actually male or female? You really don't look like a boy at all."
"Huh?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Lin Qingmo.
Then she looked at Yu Feng.
Her expression turned extrely strange.
If Lin Qingmo hadn't said it, she wouldn't have thought about it.
But now that he ntioned it… Co to think of it, Yu Feng really did have delicate skin and fine features. If there were curves, he would definitely be a beauty.
Xiao Wu imdiately covered her mouth, almost laughing out loud.
Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned for a mont.
A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes before her gaze turned strangely toward Yu Feng as well.
"What?!"
Yu Feng himself looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
His face instantly turned as red as a boiled shrimp, from his ears down to his neck, even the wrists exposed from his sleeves, taking on a faint pink hue.
"Y-you… what nonsense are you spouting!"
With a slender finger pointing at Lin Qingmo, Yu Feng's lips trembled as it took him a long ti to squeeze out a complete sentence.
However, his old teammates Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling also cast curious looks at him.
Faced with these blatant gazes, he could no longer stay.
"Damn it! Just you wait. This humiliation, I—I'll rember it!"
Leaving behind a harsh remark, Yu Feng dashed out of the training ground like a gust of wind.
Ning Rongrong finally snapped out of it.
She moved closer to Lin Qingmo, nudging his arm with hers, her face full of gossiping excitent.
"Ah Qing, why did you suddenly ask that? Do you really think Yu Feng is a girl?"
"Yeah, yeah!"
Xiao Wu also ca over, nodding with confusion.
"Ah Qing, did you notice sothing?"
Zhu Zhuqing walked over as well, her tone carrying a hint of doubt. "The way he blushed just now didn't seem like a normal reaction."
"It looked more like embarrassnt from being exposed."
"Heh."
Lin Qingmo said nothing. He simply looked in the direction Yu Feng had run off, the corners of his lips curving into a aningful smile.
Whether it was true or not, they would find out eventually.
If it really were Bai Chenxiang, then things would beco interesting.
