My Pretty Campus Queen

Soon, everyone woke up, and Gu Yuxin looked around at the people surrounding her, also startled. However, seeing herself draped in an extra coat, she instinctively felt she hadn’t encountered bad people.

"Wu, they probably aren’t bad people."

Gu Yuxin, holding the leather coat in her hand, stood up and walked towards Xiao Feng, who was seated on a tiger-skin seat: "Thank you for saving me, sir. I have no way to repay you."

"Haha, you’re welcome. Indeed, I wasn’t wrong about you. I like your straightforward nature, miss."

Seeing the clothes on these people, Xiao Feng knew they were from a certain sect of the Central Plains Martial Arts, "However, I’m curious, how come you are at my doorstep?"

Gu Yuxin shook her head but suddenly remembered something and said, "That’s right, I remember. In the evening, we dined at a hotel, and it seems like we were drugged, after which I can’t recall much."

"Oh? Are you talking about that hotel up the slope ahead? I never liked that guy, and he really went and did something as wicked as this." Xiao Feng realized what was going on after hearing Gu Yuxin’s words.

At this moment, Wu Guangzu, Ru Nian, Ding Kong, and a group of people also gathered around. Ru Nian, seeing everyone dressed like bandits, immediately became cautious and said, "Yuxin, this seems like a bandit den. Be careful not to be tricked by them."

"Hmph, who are you calling bandits?"

Wu Guangzu had just recognized Xiao Feng when he heard one of the followers speak.

This person was the Second-in-Command of the stronghold, named Tian Feng.

"Aren’t you? Look at yourselves, wielding broadswords, with tattoos on your chests. If that’s not a bandit, then what is?" Ru Nian stated directly.

"Hmph, so what if we’re bandits? You’re in my hands now, and it’s not your place to talk."

Tian Feng had this kind of temper; once provoked, he wouldn’t back down.

"Haha, that’s so funny. It’s my mouth. What can you do to stop me from talking?"

Seeing this person so arrogant, Ru Nian directly retorted.

"Wa ya ya ya...."

Tian Feng was furious, swinging his large steel broadsword over.

At this moment, Ru Nian swiftly drew his sword and thrust it forward, and within seconds, the two were fighting, leaving Wu Guangzu completely unprepared.

Seeing this situation, Gu Yuxin was very anxious and sought help from Xiao Feng: "Boss, please tell those two to stop fighting, otherwise someone will get killed."

"Haha, I can’t do anything about that. He’s our mountain stronghold’s Second-in-Command. He’s hot-tempered, and your fellow isn’t much better."

Xiao Feng didn’t seem to take things seriously. He only valued Gu Yuxin, liked her character, and wasn’t concerned about others’ lives for now. He couldn’t take care of everything when his own few hundred people were starving.

Seeing Xiao Feng say this, Wu Guangzu also relaxed, refraining from acknowledging them for now, wanting to see what Xiao Feng and his men intended to do.

After all, times were turbulent now, and they might have turned to banditry. Not recognizing him wouldn’t be surprising.

Hearing Xiao Feng’s words, Gu Yuxin had no choice but to stand aside nervously watching. She saw Second-in-Command Tian Feng fight fiercely with Ru Nian, and Chen Tianlong was surprised that this stronghold had such a capability.

But what surprised him even more was still to come.

Ru Nian didn’t want to waste time with this person, so he used the Assassin Group Swordsmanship, the Heaven-Filling Plum Blossom Array.

The next moment, Ru Nian threw his sword into the air, and instantly, the sword cloned into a dozen or so identical swords forming concentric circles.

Ru Nian soared into the air, and after a few finger movements, the swords emitted a faint light, then rapidly flew towards the Second-in-Command as he commanded them.

Tian Feng was shocked by this and immediately swung his large steel broadsword. A powerful sword qi surged toward Ru Nian’s sword array. However, it was clear Ru Nian’s sword array was superior. In just a few seconds, the sword array swooshed past the Second-in-Command, not hitting any vital spots but still wounding him enough.

After landing, Tian Feng had bruises all over, not serious, but bleeding. Ru Nian saw he hadn’t given up or surrendered, so he took off again, launching an attack like a swift wind.

Second-in-Command didn’t expect Ru Nian’s Martial Arts to be so formidable. Before he could react, the attacks commenced again, frustrating him.

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Tian Feng, gathering energy in his palm to strike in Ru Nian’s direction.

Ru Nian was initially thrusting towards the Second-in-Command but couldn’t retract the sword in time, so he continued his attack.

But the next moment, Ru Nian sensed something wrong, feeling a powerful force rushing towards him. He promptly retracted his sword for defense.

"Ah....."

Ru Nian was repelled along with his sword, unable to control his body in the air, when Wu Guangzu leaped up, caught him, spun mid-air, and swiftly landed on the ground steadily.

But the Second-in-Command wasn’t content. Seeing Ru Nian beaten back, he seized the opportunity, dashed forward, and fiercely swung his broadsword, sending a surge of sword qi upward.

Wu Guangzu never expected this Second-in-Command to be so ruthless, intending to annihilate despite the situation. He responded without restraint, gathering power and slapping a palm attack forward.

"Ga?"

The Second-in-Command was repelled by Wu Guangzu’s strong power. Before he stood firm, Xiao Feng dashed towards him and struck him without a word.

Wu Guangzu furrowed his brow, thinking none of these people were good, and released Ru Nian, charging directly at Xiao Feng. Seconds later, their palms collided, and a powerful shockwave rippled outward, pushing people around a few steps back, with cups on the tables clinking from the impact.

Soon, they released their hands, ceasing the fight.

"Hahaha, it’s Wu Guangzu, my brother. We haven’t met in a while, and your power has greatly increased. I admire you." Xiao Feng clearly recognized Wu Guangzu.

Wu Guangzu felt embarrassed, initially not wanting to reveal his identity to Xiao Feng so soon, only to be recognized first.

"Hehe, Gang Leader Xiao, your Divine Skill is unrivaled. The power of your palm strike earlier was immense. I concede." Wu Guangzu said humbly.

In terms of inner strength, Wu Guangzu indeed fell short compared to Xiao Feng, but in terms of swordsmanship, they were evenly matched.

"Hey, Wu, there’s no need to be so modest. Alright, it’s all a misunderstanding." Xiao Feng had always liked gathering and nurturing talent and was pleased to see Wu Guangzu was a great asset.

"Who wants to be brothers with you?"

Ru Nian stepped forward indignantly and said.

"Ru Nian, junior brother, don’t be rude!"

Seeing Xiao Feng’s words, Wu Guangzu realized Xiao Feng probably hadn’t turned bad, laughed, and said to Xiao Feng: "Master Xiao, this is my junior from the Assassin Group, Ru Nian. My apologies!"

"Hahaha, so a disciple from the Assassin Group, no wonder such outstanding Martial Arts. I am Xiao Feng, the leader of the Fire Dragon Stronghold!" Xiao Feng was very happy now, knowing the fame of the Assassin Group.

It had now reformed, becoming a righteous sect, taking the world’s people as its responsibility.

At this moment, Wu Guangzu saw Xiao Feng’s boldness and relaxed his guard: "Gang Leader Xiao, I apologize for any offense earlier."

"Hey, don’t know each other without fighting."

Saying this, he called out to junior brother Ru Nian, "Brother, what is your surname? I apologize on behalf of my Second-in-Command."
