Lin Fu's Horrible Day

Xue Bai didn't bother going back into his courtyard to punish Liu Mei again. Not only would it do nothing, but who knows what the bird would scream out once he came in?

It was a can of worms that Xue Bai wanted nothing to do with.

So after pushing down the migraine that was on the verge of erupting, Xue Bai continued on his way to the Academy's gates, no matter how much Liu Mei screamed.

Xue Bai didn't bother to activate his physique and instead put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked over to the Academy's gates. While most likely, the people who were waiting for him at the gates were starting to become impatient with his slow arrival time, so what?

Walking was a good method to calm the heart, and Xue Bai desperately needed some calming.

–

While Xue Bai started his ten-mile walk to the Academy's gates, a large crowd of about 50 students was waiting for his arrival.

However, just like he guessed, none of their faces had a positive expression, and most of them even looked to be on the verge of eruption. Most of them were from impatience, while some were out of anger.

Yet just before they erupted, a set of footsteps sounded. Thinking it to be the two people they were waiting for, everyone in the group turned around, but once they all saw it was only one person, they all became even angrier than before.

"Lin Fu, we told you to get that gigolo! Where the hell is he?" A boy yelled out angrily.

"Yes! What Brother Xuan said! Where is he?"

"Does that gigolo not know that making his seniors wait is disrespectful?!"

Dozens of angry shouts poured out, and eventually, Lin Fu, who was still blushing slightly, started to become angry.

"Shut up!" Lin Fu shouted out as he unleashed his cultivation base.

As the strongest person in this group, and with a cultivation base that was at the peak of what a Black-Robed Student could be, it was only right that Lin Fu was the leader.

But now, after he graciously decided to get Xue Bai, everyone started to turn on him!

It was the definition of a mutiny!

"I told him to come, and he should be here soon." Lin Fu said indirectly. He didn't want to explain what Xue Bai was doing and what was making him delay his arrival in front of all his teammates.

Sadly, his teammates were too angry to suppress their curiosity, and instead of taking Lin Fu's hint, they all demanded to know what the hell Xue Bai was doing.

"What is Xue Bai doing that is so important that he is making all of us wait then?!" The boy who yelled out first spoke up. And since his opinion represented everyone else's, no one else said anything but instead nodded.

But Lin Fu wasn't having it, and he didn't even bother answering their questions.historical

"I spoke my words! I don't care anymore! If you all want to know when Xue Bai is coming, then go to him yourself! However, be warned. You might die." And with an angry wave of his sleeves, Lin Fu found a nearby bench and sat down.

'I almost died from that damn demonic beast! If these idiots think I am going to go back just to check if Xue Bai left, they're stupid! I'd rather not go to the secret realm than go back!'

Lin Fu was beyond scared of Liu Mei, so in his mind, going back to check on Xue Bai was a shortcut to suicide.

Taking a moment to calm himself down, Lin Fu put his elbows on his knees and then his face in his palms as he tried to shut the rest of the world out.

The fire Liu Mei lit in him hadn't left yet, and he was still too scared to face Xue Bai or the bird while it still blazed in him.

After Lin Fu pressured the crowd with his cultivation base, they all quieted down, becoming as silent as a mouse. And when they saw him sit down with no intention of seeing where Xue Bai was, they gathered together and tried to guess what made their Senior Brother like that.

"What do you think happened? Did Xue Bai beat him up?"

"That shouldn't be right. Senior Brother Lin is at the peak of the Qi Sea realm, and If I remember correctly, Xue Bai should only be in the Bone Strengthening realm. So how could he beat up Senior Brother Lin?"

"Then what else could have made Senior Brother Lin? He is usually so headstrong and arrogant. Seeing him so downcast and angry is rare."

With so many possibilities of what happened to Lin Fu, the crowd's attention shifted, and discussions quickly erupted.

Since the secret realm only allowed people below the Dharma Idol realm, most of the people in the crowd were rather young. Everyone in the crowd had ages ranging from as low as 20 to the oldest, Lin Fu, who was only 27.

While that was extremely old in Earth terms, these students were the most talented of the Black-Robed Students, which meant that they either had middle or high Yellow-grade Martial Veins.

And the lifespan of a Qi Sea realm cultivator was 150 years old, and for every realm one advanced, they would gain another 50 years of lifespan until they reached the Law Manifestation realm, which would then add up to over 300 years of life.

With a 300-year-long lifespan ahead of them and only being in their twenties, they still had more than 9/10 of their lives waiting for them.

In mortal terms, they would still be 7 or 8, so being curious and childish at this age, while not common, wasn't very rare.

So when such an open-ended scenario appeared in front of them, none of them could suppress their youthful curiosity and began talking to each other, trying to decipher what had happened to Lin Fu.

And soon enough, most of the Black-Robed Students forgot about the late Xue Bai entirely.

However, once they did, the man of the hour arrived.

Still, with his hands in his pockets and a calm look on his face, Xue Bai casually walked out of the Academy's gates.

Outside, Xue Bai scanned the square as if he were looking for someone. And after his line of sight reached the benches, he found his target.

"Oh! You there! Boy, who I almost killed! Where the hell are the people you wanted me to meet?" Xue Bai yelled out as he waved toward Lin Fu, who still had his face in his palms.

Even now, Xue Bai had yet to learn Lin Fu's name, and since the man had been so rude and arrogant earlier, he had no qualms about using the most disrespectful pronoun he could think of.

But once Lin Fu heard the voice that he would never forget, all the tiredness his face once had disappeared, and it was replaced by a smoldering rage.

And after he realized that Xue Bai brought up their first meeting, Lin Fu's rage only blazed more.

He had purposely not told anyone about it to keep up his image as the almighty senior brother of the Black-Robed Students!

Now, this mere Bone Strengthening realm gigolo was saying that he almost killed him!

It was a direct smear of his image.

The rest of the Black-Robed Students who were nearby also heard Xue Bai's words.

While at first, they initially denied it. After all, they could see that Xue Bai's cultivation base was only at the peak of the Bone Strengthening realm, so how could he even fight against Lin Fu, who was more than a realm ahead of him, let alone almost kill him?

It was pure nonsense in their minds.

But their beliefs were quickly shaken as they all looked at Lin Fu, who looked seconds away from erupting.

Lin Fu also saw their facial expressions that were quickly turning into ones of disbelief.

Scared that his long-built reputation was about to collapse, Lin Fu pointed at Xue Bai accusingly and spoke.

"Xue Bai, don't you dare bring that up! You're the one who chose to fight like a coward and snuck attacked me! If you fought me like a man, I would've crushed you like the ant you are!" Lin Fu yelled out angrily.

However, while he did sound prideful and righteous, the finger that Lin Fu was pointing at Xue Bai was shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. And since there wasn't a large distance between Lin Fu and the other Black-Robed Students, they could see it clearly.

Xue Bai saw this too, but instead of pointing it out, he had another idea.

Activating his physique, Xue Bai, to the shock of everyone there, disappeared.

"Dammit! Not this witchcraft again!" Lin Fu's heart clenched, and the seed of fear that was hidden inside of him bloomed.

Without even thinking, Lin Fu abandoned all his pride and jumped into the air, where he started hovering.

'No matter how cool your stealth ability is, it doesn't matter if you can't fly! Even if you could leapfrog two realms above your cultivation base, you're still in the Bone Strengthening realm, and that means you can't fly yet!'

Lin Fu felt like he was a genius, and his body became further and further away from the ground.

But just as he thought he was safe, dozens of meters in the air, he felt something that gave him fear.

And not just a normal fear; the fear he felt came not from his heart, bones, or even mind but instead from his very soul.

Once again, trusting his instincts, Lin Fu quickly threw himself to the left, dodging the primordial fear he felt.

Not even a second later, a purple arrow appeared and just barely missed one of his arms.

'What the hell is that?!' Lin Fu was horrified.

Especially after missing him, the purple arrow didn't lose a bit of velocity and plunged into the cement.

Yet, to everyone's fear, when the arrow plunged into the cement, it just didn't penetrate a few feet before stopping. No, instead, it fully dived into the cement until they couldn't see it anymore.

"What the hell was that?"

No one knew who said those words, but everyone who saw that arrow agreed with the words.

They all could easily tell that Xue Bai's arrow wasn't a corporal thing and was instead conjured out of some weird purple energy. But that was what scared them.

The grounds of the Academy's outer square were made from middle Yellow-grade ores, so if something could pierce through it like a sword through butter, then it at least had to be a high Yellow-grade.

However, the purple energy arrow went through the floor way too easily for it at least to be a high Yellow-Grade weapon, and the students thought it was something ranked higher.

Maybe a peak Yellow-grade weapon or possibly even something in the Black-grade.

'Then can Xue Bai summon those arrows casually?!'

Like a hive mind, everyone's thoughts were linked, and they all thought of the same horrifying possibility.

Yet their shock wasn't over as once they looked back at Lin Fu. They saw Xue Bai magically appear a few feet above him with a disdainful smile on his face.

"I couldn't kill you last time because I didn't expect you to have such a good movement technique, but don't think you're special." Xue Bai snorted angrily.

Finished with his words, Xue Bai pulled out his Lava Spring Sword and sent a purple sword slash at Lin Fu.
