'Among the six of us, Fu Wanli has the highest points?'
'What's going on?'
'Didn't Zhao Sifang say Fu Wanli's points are lower than all of us?'
Several people turned to look at Zhao Sifang.
Zhao Sifang scratched his head too, "I didn't see it wrong. Fu Wanli really is sixth among the freshmen. His God-Hunting points rank sixth, his research points are under a thousand, and his overall ranking is still sixth among the freshmen…"
Hearing them discussing freshmen rankings, Fu Wanli asked, "You guys are freshmen too?"
Gu Yunpeng nodded, "All of us are."
Fu Wanli quietly let out a breath, then smiled with confidence. His features twisted together, like a baboon ruling the forest, "That's right. I'm sixth in this year's freshman rankings, Fu Wanli! According to South Glory's rules, since your points are lower than mine, you have to give up your seats to me."
As he spoke, Fu Wanli's gaze stayed viciously fixed on Gu Yunpeng's handsome face. He even deliberately pointed at him, looking like he wanted to skin him alive.
Zhao Sifang felt something was off about Fu Wanli and nudged Gu Yunpeng with his elbow, "Brother-in-law, the way he's looking at you is kind of sharp. Did you offend him before?"
Gu Yunpeng shook his head, "I have no impression of him at all."
Qin Siyang hadn't liked this inexplicable Fu Wanli to begin with.
But seeing him target Gu Yunpeng directly, an inexplicable sense of closeness rose in his chest.
Seeing that none of them moved, Fu Wanli frowned, clearly displeased, "Why are you still sitting there? Are you trying to violate South Glory University's rules and regulations?"
"If you insist on going your own way, then I'll have no choice but to apply for a trip to the combat arena with you! But it's the first day of school today. I don't want to make things too ugly. I still hope you'll know what's good for you! If you're willing to give up your seats today, we can consider it making friends. If you need anything in the future, come find me, Fu Wanli, and I'll definitely help!"
After saying all that, Fu Wanli thought he would get their approval.
Instead, Qin Siyang picked his nose, Chu Baxing stared coldly, Hu Chan ate calmly, and Gu Yunpeng shook his head helplessly.
The only one who reacted was Zhao Sifang, who looked confused, "Brother-in-law, what's he so full of himself about?"
"No idea. Maybe he thinks his points are high."
Chu Baxing said coldly, "Not many points, plenty of nonsense."
That single sentence instantly ignited Fu Wanli's anger, making him furious on the spot.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Fu Wanli's pair of rat-like eyes flashed with rage, "Since you people don't know what's good for you and insist on violating South Glory University's rules, then as a freshman of South Glory University, I can't just let this go."
"At South Glory University, those with higher points are respected! I've risked my life outside the safe zone for three years and earned over twelve thousand God-Hunting points. I entered South Glory as the sixth-ranked freshman. I didn't come here to talk about everyone being born equal!"
"Today, you must give up this table! If you refuse, then we go to the combat arena! I will fight to defend my dignity! I will fight to uphold South Glory's order!"
Chu Baxing snorted, "Small temple, big ego. Shallow water, lots of turtles."
Gu Yunpeng said, "To put it properly, I don't think South Glory University can be called shallow water."
Zhao Sifang nodded hard, "Brother-in-law's right! South Glory is one of the Four Glories after all. How can it be shallow water? Turtles are everywhere. You can't blame South Glory for that."
"Such a high pitch, my ears are about to go deaf," Qin Siyang picked his ear, "Anyone who didn't know would think we betrayed all humanity."
Hu Chan glanced at Qin Siyang, "You just picked your nose, now you're picking your ear. Aren't you afraid of getting an infection?"
"Are you blind? I used my pinky for my nose and my index finger for my ear."
"Alright, alright, got it. Hurry up and eat. The food's already getting cold."
Seeing Qin Siyang and the others chatting casually again as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring him, Fu Wanli was so angry his hair practically stood on end.
"Since you insist on making this ugly, don't blame me! To the combat arena! We'll settle superiority and decide life and death!"
This time, all of them finally looked at Fu Wanli together.
But for some reason, from their gazes, he didn't feel even a trace of fear or shock. Instead, there was surprise… and even a bit of pity.
For a moment, the scene fell silent.
After a while, Chu Baxing and the others looked at Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang spread his hands, "Why are you all looking at me? Didn't you hear what he said? Points determine status. Those with fewer points serve those with more. Don't you know your own points? Don't tell me you expect me to represent the five of us and go to the combat arena with him?"
They immediately turned to Zhao Sifang, who ranked fifth and last among them. Zhao Sifang waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no. If I go to the combat arena with him, it'll cause trouble for my second uncle. Brothers, spare me…"
If Zhao Longfei got put in a difficult spot, none of them, as South Glory students, would feel comfortable either.
Everyone sighed and looked at Gu Yunpeng, who ranked fourth.
Gu Yunpeng also shook his head, "If I go to the combat arena with him, it'll cause trouble for my third uncle. Please understand."
Letting Gu Weiyang be put in a difficult spot was even worse than letting Zhao Longfei be put in one.
They sighed again and looked at Hu Chan, who ranked third.
Hu Chan simply said in a cool tone, "Killing the weak violates doctrine."
He was a Holy Son, so he obviously couldn't violate doctrine. They sighed once more and looked at Chu Baxing.
Chu Baxing was even more concise, "Would disgrace my father."
Chu Xiao'ang's domineering nature was obvious to all.
Finally, their gazes returned to Qin Siyang.
Qin Siyang rubbed his face, sighed, then looked at Fu Wanli and decided to lay it out plainly, "The few of us are the top five freshmen in points this year. All of us have higher points than you. Giving up our seats isn't happening. Classmate, leave now, and we'll pretend nothing happened."
Who would've thought Fu Wanli would sneer after hearing this, "Do you think I was raised to be scared? As the saying goes, kings don't meet kings. How could the five people ranked above me be sitting together at one table in the cafeteria? The worse someone is, the more they talk. You talk the most, so you'll go to the combat arena with me."
Qin Siyang's mouth twisted, almost laughing from anger.
Who would've thought that on the very first day of school, he'd already have to hurt someone.
Zhao Sifang nudged Gu Yunpeng and secretly pointed at Fu Wanli, "Brother-in-law, how many times have I said it? I'm really not the dumbest person inside the safe zone. You believe me now, right? So yeah, Xuanxuan marrying me definitely won't get her bullied."
Gu Yunpeng glanced at Zhao Sifang, "There's still a difference between being slow and being an idiot."
The words reached Fu Wanli's ears, making him even more furious. He shouted at Gu Yunpeng, "You dare call me stupid too? You're coming to the combat arena with me as well! Look at that pretty-boy face of yours. You must be nothing but a useless ornament!"
Hearing that, Qin Siyang suddenly didn't feel like hurting him anymore.
Fu Wanli might not be quite right in the head, but he still had some redeeming qualities.
