"Xiao Feng won't beat up that Pei Dengke, will he?" the little girl casually asked after a belch.
Everyone looked at each other, thinking there was quite a possibility indeed.
If it were soone else, maybe they wouldn't dare act that way.
But Xiao Feng is different. If Pei Dengke doesn't cooperate, beating him up would be considered light.
At that mont, Xiao Feng walked in, but Pei Dengke wasn't following behind him.
This scene left many in the tent a bit puzzled.
Two people went out, but one person returned. So where did the other one go?
"Brother Feng, where's Pei Dengke?" Hui Shiqi asked.
Xiao Feng smiled and replied, "He went to the dical room to treat his injuries."
His voice wasn't loud, but since no one else was speaking loudly in the tent, everyone heard it clearly.
For a mont, those eating all ntally labeled Xiao Feng as "volatile" and decided not to provoke him if possible.
Volatile brother, hitting people online, who dares to disobey?
Of course, not everyone is afraid of Xiao Feng, but the current environnt is different from the past.
Many who ca for the assessnt hope to perform well and strive to beco core mbers.
If they lost the opportunity for promotion, or even injured themselves in a fight, it would be really not worth it.
And this was exactly the effect Xiao Feng wanted.
"Brother Xiao, making enemies like this continuously isn't a good thing," Chi Xiao said with concern.
Xiao Feng smiled and didn't respond.
He naturally hadn't actually beaten up Pei Dengke; he had other plans in mind.
He believed that Qi Guanghe would certainly try to form alliances to isolate him and then engage in so small acts of revenge.
And Pei Dengke, who he "beat up," was undoubtedly the best target to recruit.
In this way, without much effort, he would plant an undercover agent by the opponent's side, so why not?
Another purpose was to draw Hua Ling over.
Xiao Feng thought that having hit two participants in the assessnt this morning would certainly draw attention and might even cost his qualification for the assessnt.
But due to Hua Ling, before any punishnt was to be decided, Hua Ling would definitely be inford.
Once Hua Ling arrived, he could ask her to deliver a ssage to Xue Nuofu to specifically investigate the Tang Family in Kyoto.
Although these things could be said over the phone, Xiao Feng thought it was better to be cautious.
Sure enough, at two in the afternoon, Hua Ling arrived at the mountaintop.
"What's wrong with you?" Hua Ling said angrily. "You've only been here half a day, and I've received over a dozen complaints about you."
"Let them complain," Xiao Feng shrugged indifferently, "Let's talk about the real issue. Help relay a ssage to old Xue, asking him to send soone to investigate the Tang Family in Kyoto."
"Let's discuss your problem first," Hua Ling said with displeasure. "If it weren't for , you'd have already been kicked out of the assessnt."
"Thank you!"
"Can you be any less sincere?"
Xiao Feng tilted his head, thought for a mont, then nodded and said, "Sure, if you want."
Hua Ling rubbed her temples, feeling a headache, and said, "I'm truly defeated by you!
I'll get straight to the point. Though you won't be kicked out of the assessnt, you can't avoid punishnt.
During the eting tonight, you'll be publicly criticized, ordered to write a review, and given a major derit."
"Understood," Xiao Feng said calmly.
He had anticipated this result.
After all, setting a precedent of not bearing the consequences for fighting simply couldn't be allowed.
If "fighting without responsibility" beca a trend, everything would be in chaos.
After chiding Xiao Feng a few more tis, Hua Ling prepared to leave the mountain, repeatedly reminding him not to cause trouble again before turning to leave.
Watching Hua Ling's departing figure, Xiao Feng sighed softly to himself...
He didn't want to stir up any more trouble, but trouble might soon co looking for him.
...
Just before dinner, Pei Dengke limped out of his tent and headed toward the "canteen."
On the way, quite a few people offered to help him, but he politely declined, demonstrating strong self-esteem.
Yes, that's how determined he was!
However, just then, a voice ca from the right: "Co over here to talk."
"Hmm?"
Pei Dengke turned his head and saw Xiao Feng hiding between two tents, feeling surprised and delighted: "Brother Xiao, I've been looking for you!"
In his excitent, he forgot to pretend to limp and walked quickly over to Xiao Feng.
"Watch yourself, your leg's supposed to be hurt!" Xiao Feng whispered sternly.
There was sothing he didn't say: if Pei Dengke couldn't act convincingly, he wouldn't mind actually breaking the guy's leg.
Pei Dengke imdiately adjusted his steps, looked around, and thought to himself, fortunately, no one noticed.
Reaching Xiao Feng, Pei Dengke quickly said, "Brother Xiao, you were right. Qi Guanghe approached this afternoon.
He said during tonight's eting, he wants to denounce you together with him."
"Did he say anything else?"
"Not much else," Pei Dengke said thoughtfully. "But after talking to , he went to others, clearly intending to isolate you."
Xiao Feng nodded, "Keep up the good relationship with him. If he asks you to join him in retaliating against , don't hesitate, just agree.
Though it's an act, you've got to play it well.
When you're with him, just consider your enemy."
"But this..." Pei Dengke looked troubled.
"No need for hesitations. It's just acting, not real. You're pretending to hurt to help ."
"Alright!"
With that said, Xiao Feng and Pei Dengke went their separate ways.
One walked with head held high, the other limped away...
After dinner, the eting notice reached everyone's ears.
By now, more than half of the assessnt participants had arrived.
Nearly a hundred people, each with a small stool under them, legs together, and a notebook on top, ready to take notes during the eting.
"Everyone, please quiet down!"
On stage, a middle-aged man with an authoritative presence said in a deep voice, "The annual assessnt is a major event for our Demon Suppression Action Team.
I believe everyone here has made quite a bit of preparation for this.
However, today there were actually two violent injury incidents.
What surprises the most is that these two violent incidents were caused by the sa person."
Here, the middle-aged man paused, giving ti for discussions below.
So who arrived later began asking around about what had happened.
Soon, Xiao Feng's na spread throughout the venue, along with the numbers "009."
Feeling it was ti, the middle-aged man spoke again, "009, 053, 016, you three co up."
Without hesitation, Xiao Feng stood up smoothly, walked onto the stage with a calm expression, appearing composed and undisturbed.
In contrast, the other two victims displayed an entirely different deanor...
