Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Wow, You Two Are a Great Match
He lay on the ground, gasping for air like a fish yanked out of the water, on the verge of death.
A smile remained on Fang Xiu’s lips the entire time.
Love turning to hate—it was a common story.
And Fang Xiu had used this very fact to his advantage.
"Why should I help you?"
Fang Xiu looked at Yu Boyuan and retorted, "Murder is against the law!"
"She... she wanted to kill you. I can testify."
Yu Boyuan’s eyes were misty.
He was an extremist.
He wanted Lu Yu’er. If he couldn’t have her, he would destroy her.
That was Yu Boyuan’s mindset.
"Just now, you said *you* wanted to kill me!"
Fang Xiu’s tone was calm.
Although Yu Boyuan looked incredibly weak right now, Fang Xiu knew his limbs had merely been crippled.
He just had four broken bones; it was far from a fatal injury.
Yu Boyuan’s current state... was one of despair.
Yu Boyuan had taken everything Fang Xiu said to heart.
He understood that everything Fang Xiu said was true.
He couldn’t kill Fang Xiu, so Lu Yu’er would definitely find someone else, and the price she would pay would be the same.
Moreover, Yu Boyuan felt that this was all Lu Yu’er’s fault.
If only she hadn’t repeatedly rejected his advances.
He wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
Love turning to hate—it was just that simple.
Of course, if Fang Xiu had known what Yu Boyuan was thinking, he would have wholeheartedly approved of him getting together with Lu Yu’er.
Their personalities were practically identical.
When they made a mistake, they blamed it on someone else.
"Just now... I was lying. It was Lu Yu’er. She said you stole her SSS Level Talent, so she sent me to kill you."
Yu Boyuan said slowly.
Then, he confessed everything.
Fang Xiu nodded slightly. "How did you two sneak in?"
’This is the school’s Gate World. Security is tight. It would be impossible to get in without an inside man.’
Fang Xiu was naturally aware of this.
"It... it’s the teacher from Class 3-5."
Yu Boyuan hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Lu Yu’er’s family has some influence. She promised the teacher she’d help her get a transfer to a university!"
"So, the teacher from Class 3-5!"
Fang Xiu smiled slightly and muttered to himself.
He had a vague recollection of that teacher.
She was quite old and rumored to be only Level 35, which was naturally not high enough to qualify for a university teaching position.
"Help me!"
Yu Boyuan pleaded once more.
BEEP BEEP BEEP...
Just then, Fang Xiu’s phone rang.
"Hello, Teacher!"
He didn’t need to look to know it was Xia Yunmeng.
Sure enough, Xia Yunmeng’s voice came from the other end. "Fang Xiu, are you okay? I’m almost there!"
"I’m fine, Teacher. I managed to avoid that Demon Beast, but I ran into a couple of weirdos!"
Fang Xiu said, glancing at Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai on the ground.
Hearing this, Xia Yunmeng was taken aback. "What weirdos?"
"Just two guys, splayed on the ground, claiming they’ve awakened a spider-type Beastification ability. I don’t think they’re from our school. After all, there’s no way our school would have idiots like that!"
Fang Xiu casually fabricated an excuse.
Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai: ...
’Who are you calling an idiot?’
’Imitating a spider? You’re the one who crippled our limbs, okay?’
"Outsiders? How did they get in?"
Xia Yunmeng was suddenly on edge.
If outsiders had appeared in the school’s Gate World, it would be extremely dangerous for the students.
And two of them at once?
When did the school’s Gate World become so easy to enter?
Thinking of this, Xia Yunmeng suddenly realized something was wrong.
The school’s Gate World was heavily guarded; it was impossible to just sneak in.
’Does that mean... there’s an inside man?’
"I think they’re human. Anyway, they’re just lying here, completely non-aggressive. You should come take a look!"
As Fang Xiu spoke, he even gave Yu Boyuan’s arm a tug.
Evidently, the arm was shattered and completely immobile.
"Okay, find a safe spot. I’m heading over right now!"
Xia Yunmeng was very anxious.
’How could Fang Xiu disappear for a moment and run into so much danger?’
’First a Demon Beast, and now people from outside the school.’
’His luck is really something else!’
"Yeah, I will. I’ll start heading your way too. Let’s meet up first. Have you run into any other teachers over there?"
Fang Xiu asked, as if it were a casual question.
In reality, he was probing for information.
"Yes, Teacher Cai from Class 5 is here!"
Xia Yunmeng answered subconsciously, then caught herself and asked, "Why do you ask?"
"No reason. It’s just that these two weirdos seem strange, and I was worried you might have trouble dealing with them alone. That way, you could call another teacher for backup."
Fang Xiu found an excuse to brush her off.
"Don’t underestimate me. Besides, if I can’t handle it with my Level, don’t even think about relying on Teacher Cai!"
Xia Yunmeng was also aware of the Class 5 teacher’s exact strength.
The teacher was Level 35. Xia Yunmeng, in contrast, was a newcomer who had only graduated two years ago.
"Ah? Is that so? Then never mind!"
With that, Fang Xiu hung up the phone.
Xia Yunmeng: ...
Nevertheless, she quickly moved in Fang Xiu’s direction.
At that moment, Fang Xiu crouched down beside Nie Tai and Yu Boyuan and asked with a smile, "You heard what I said just now, right?"
"We... we heard!"
Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai nodded hastily.
"When my teacher gets here, you know what to say, right?"
Fang Xiu asked again.
Hearing this, Yu Boyuan and Nie Tai were silent for a moment before saying, "We know. We’re Spider Awakeners!"
"Mm, very good."
Fang Xiu nodded in satisfaction.
For the time being, he didn’t want anyone else to know about the Power he possessed.
But... it wouldn’t be a huge deal if they did. After all, Fang Xiu was a Sacrificial Master. It would be perfectly plausible that he made a Sacrifice and was rewarded with Power.
"Alright, make sure you speak properly later. As for Lu Yu’er... I think I’ll go find her now!"
Fang Xiu said, looking at Yu Boyuan.
Then he turned and headed in another direction.
Watching Fang Xiu’s departing figure, Yu Boyuan shouted after him, "How do you know Lu Yu’er is over there?"
Hearing Yu Boyuan’s question, Fang Xiu didn’t answer.
’If Lu Yu’er has any sense, she wouldn’t be with the teacher from Class 5!’
’Wouldn’t that expose her completely?’
’Right now, Lu Yu’er should be somewhere she can see what’s happening with Yu Boyuan.’
’And from here, there’s only one spot with a clear view of this area.’
’As for how Lu Yu’er knew Xia Yunmeng was coming, Teacher Cai must have told her.’
’I hope she didn’t see me beat Yu Boyuan to this state and just run off!’
Fang Xiu thought to himself.
Meanwhile, not far from where Fang Xiu and the others had fought, there was a small hill.
On top of it stood a slender figure.
It was Lu Yu’er.
"Damn it, how could Yu Boyuan be so useless!"
Lu Yu’er had seen Yu Boyuan get taken down.
Although she couldn’t see the situation clearly.
But she saw Fang Xiu heading in her direction.
Her brow furrowed slightly as an idea appeared in her mind.
’It’s a bit risky, but worth a try!’
Lu Yu’er weighed her options.
She did not leave the hill.
