Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 226 The biggest advantage is pride

They only met today, as they came to the school to complete their enrollment procedures. After this incident, the attitude of Z University was unprecedentedly tough. No matter what, the university was unwilling to let them reenter their previous college. It was only after paying a hefty price that they were allowed to continue their studies at Z University, but they could only join the so-called Archaeology faculty and major.

For the Gao Family, this outcome was already acceptable. To them, no matter what major they studied, they had never intended to rely on that major to make a living. Their degree was merely a tool; what they needed was the prestigious name of Z University.

They had never expected to run into their arch-nemesis, Xiao Yi, on their very first day returning to report to school!

Now, they had thoroughly understood what had happened. When Gao Junjie turned on his computer that day and saw the content reported online, his vision went dark, and he fainted on the spot. The content was all from his family’s private diary; even thinking with his toes, he knew his diary had been exposed!

When he came to, he immediately realized how severe the consequences of this incident were.

Being expelled from the school was merely a minor issue. His father and his relatives started calling him one by one after he woke up. Following that, his family urgently convened a meeting. Everyone sighed upon seeing him, giving him looks he had never faced before, not even when they had provoked the Song Family last time.

This time, even his mother did not defend him, standing aside helplessly and speechlessly. His father had even raised his hand to slap him, fortunately, his uncles intervened.

In the end, his father and uncles managed to suppress the incident, but at a painful cost. The Gao Family, already in an awkward position and striving to climb upwards, now faced a significant setback.

If it were not for the fact that the Gao Family had not produced any exceptional talents in his generation, and he was considered the Gao Family’s only hope, there would be no doubt that he would have become the family’s castaway after this incident. Even now, he could distinctly feel that the older generation’s regard for him was nowhere as significant as before; they began to pay more attention to his less capable brothers.

He knew he had indeed disappointed them and did not dare to harbor any grievances, silently hoping that he could perform well in the future and recover from the current situation. Meanwhile, his hatred for Xiao Yi grew even deeper. If not for Xiao Yi, he would not be in this situation at all. If his previous hatred for Xiao Yi was deep to the bone, then now it was truly marrow-deep. He thought Xiao Yi was utterly despicable, resorting to such low and shameless tactics to deal with him!

He was convinced that Xiao Yi must have hired some private detective or similar to steal the diary from his house, or else he believed it was impossible for Xiao Yi to sneak into his house and unlock all those locks.

The other members of the Four Young Evil Masters thought the same. Although they didn’t know these affairs were chronicled by Gao Junjie, they all assumed that Xiao Yi had hired private detectives to investigate and then exposed everything online.

Like Gao Junjie, they had almost been skinned by their parents at home these past few days, enduring great torment. Their families had a less influential background than Gao Junjie’s, so they paid an even higher price to settle this incident and to rejoin Z University.

Therefore, they truly hated Xiao Yi to their very bones!

They might be prodigal sons, but they knew the cost their families had paid—solid cash, and not a trifling amount but a financial bleeding. That was the hard-earned wealth accumulated by their forefathers! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Xiao, you’re so despicable!"

Wang Qiang was the first to rush over, gritting his teeth and pointing at Xiao Yi.

"Not at all, compared to everyone here, I still have much to learn."

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Qiang who was charging at him like a madman, his eyes bloodshot with rage, and a faint smirk appeared on Xiao Yi’s lips, his eyes gleaming with mockery, he simply smiled nonchalantly.

He didn’t believe for a second that they would dare to come at him, fists flying. If they really had the guts to fight him to the death, he would actually have looked upon them with a bit of respect, but unfortunately, he knew these four were all for show and would never take any real action. Having had a few run-ins with the Four Young Evil Masters, he saw right through them.

"Xiao Yi, you’re ruthless!"

Gao Junjie stared coldly at Xiao Yi, watching the scorn hidden behind that indifferent smile on his face, feeling as if a knife had viciously stabbed him in the heart, his mouth twitching fiercely.

"Thank you for the compliment, but I really wouldn’t dare to compare with Young Master Gao when it comes to scheming and ruthlessness."

Xiao Yi looked at the expression on Gao Junjie’s face and chuckled. He knew right well that Gao Junjie would just swallow his anger. A clown is always a clown, never amounting to anything significant. He also couldn’t be bothered to waste more words on them, his gaze swept over the four blocking his way and became stern, "Gentlemen, if you’re blocking my way to pick a fight, then hurry up. If not, please step aside. I have things to do and not much time to entertain you."

"Xiao Yi, don’t you get too arrogant!"

Li Han pointed at Xiao Yi, his face turning shades of green and purple.

"Sorry, but being proud is perhaps my only virtue. If you find it unpleasant, you’re welcome to come and teach me a lesson any time," Xiao Yi said coolly, casting him a glance that showed rampant arrogance and suddenly exuding an air that seemed to look down upon the world from his slender frame.

"You...!!"

Seeing the unmistakable arrogance on Xiao Yi’s face, the faces of the Four Young Evil Masters turned ashen, their eyes flaring with rage as they stared at Xiao Yi. For so many years, no one dared to be this brazen in front of them!

Even those with higher status than them never dared to show such blatant arrogance in their presence!

Yet here was a country bumpkin in their eyes, someone as insignificant as dung, who had once been nothing more to them than an ant to be crushed underfoot, now so blatantly arrogant in front of them. How could they not be furious! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for it, your support is my greatest motivation.)
