According to the information Lin Ming had gathered, Mu Bingxuan had rejected Li Ran more than once. It was obvious she did not like him.
However, something had clearly gone wrong today.
For the first time ever, Mu Bingxuan was actually standing on Li Ran’s side, even speaking up for him.
At this moment, Lin Ming realized that his plan of pretending to be injured to get acquainted with her had completely failed.
So, he had no intention of holding back anymore.
Facing the six men surrounding him, Lin Ming curled his lips into a cold, disdainful smile.
Just these few useless people, and they thought they could throw him out?
Six flashy but ineffective bodyguards were nothing in his eyes.
Once he knocked them all down and scared Li Ran, this spoiled young master, into wetting himself, Mu Bingxuan would naturally understand the gap between him and that useless fool.
A woman like Mu Bingxuan could only belong to him.
A licking dog like Li Ran was not worthy!
At this moment, seeing Lin Ming surrounded, the watching students grew tense.
“It’s over. This poor kid is going to be crippled by Li Ran!”
“Li Ran always acts like Mu Bingxuan is his girlfriend. Those bodyguards won’t hold back.”
“Sigh, no strength, yet he insists on stepping forward.”
“He looks like a freshman. Probably doesn’t know who Li Ran is.”
“Sigh, Mu Bingxuan already said it has nothing to do with him.”
“The goddess is still so kind. Too bad this kid isn’t very smart.”
So that was it.
She was worried that I might get hurt by Li Ran, that’s why she treated me so coldly?
Hearing these discussions, Lin Ming suddenly felt enlightened.
A wave of emotion surged within him, and he cast a grateful look toward Mu Bingxuan.
However, how could these people possibly know his identity as a soldier king?
Once he defeated these bodyguards and scared Li Ran senseless, they would all be shocked and cheer for him.
Lin Ming beckoned with his hand and said in a provocative tone, “Come at me together.”
He had already made up his mind.
Next, he would sweep through everyone here.
With overwhelming strength, he would enter Mu Bingxuan’s heart.
Provoked by such arrogance, the six bodyguards immediately attacked.
The fight broke out.
Bang, bang.
In the blink of an eye, two bodyguards were each struck by Lin Ming’s kicks and sent flying.
The crowd erupted in shock.
No one had expected that this seemingly thin and weak young man would be so powerful.
Facing six opponents alone, he had already kicked two away.
Hearing the cheers, Lin Ming grew even more pleased with himself.
His fists moved with fierce momentum.
These bodyguards were not weak.
The two who had been kicked quickly regained their footing and rejoined the fight.
Even so, against Lin Ming, the six of them were still mostly on the defensive.
Nearby, Li Ran, who was watching the fight, frowned.
The plot was off again.
What was wrong with the protagonist and female lead today?
Lin Ming, if you don’t get injured, how will Mu Bingxuan take you to the pharmacy?
How are you supposed to get to know her?
Li Ran sighed.
Fine, I’ll see this through and help you out.
As a villain, having such unreliable protagonist and female lead was truly something else.
When he got back, he would have to question the system about what was going on.
Turning his head, Li Ran shouted to Chen Hao and the other spoiled young masters who were watching, “What are you standing there for? Get in there and beat him!”
The rich young men clearly did not realize the gap between them and Lin Ming.
They cracked their knuckles and rushed into the fight.
Li Ran nodded in satisfaction.
Now, no one would notice if he made a move.
In the middle of the fight, Lin Ming was fully engaged.
These Li family bodyguards were quite skilled. Since returning to the country, this was the first time he had encountered opponents worth his attention.
At that moment, amid the chaos, a size-42 foot silently extended.
Another expert?
“Who is it?”
Before he could finish speaking, the foot landed squarely on his backside.
Bang.
Lin Ming was sent sprawling face-first into the ground.
The bodyguards, who had long been holding back their frustration, immediately seized the opportunity.
A barrage of punches rained down on him.
Bang, bang, bang.
By the time Lin Ming, eyes bloodshot, struggled back to his feet, he had already taken countless blows.
His once decent-looking face had nearly swollen into that of a pig’s head.
Even his own parents might not recognize him now.
Enraged, Lin Ming’s fighting power surged.
In the blink of an eye, all the bodyguards were knocked to the ground.
He scanned them with a vicious gaze, as if he could devour them alive.
Never had he imagined that, as a dignified soldier king, he would stumble like this.
That kick had been utterly despicable.
Even without a mirror, judging by the pain on his face and the looks from the surrounding crowd, Lin Ming knew his appearance was not far from a pig’s head.
How could he leave a good impression on Mu Bingxuan like this?
First impressions were crucial.
But now, his first impression was completely ruined.
At this moment, Li Ran had already withdrawn, standing to the side with his followers.
Though he was laughing wildly inside, his expression turned serious as he exclaimed, “Didn’t expect this kid to be so capable. We’ll let you off today. Let’s go.”
Before leaving, he added, “Kid, don’t think this is over!”
Turning his head, he happened to meet Mu Bingxuan’s gaze.
She was not looking at the injured Lin Ming, but instead staring at him with concern, as if she wanted to say something.
Li Ran felt his scalp go numb.
He knew this female lead was about to cause trouble again.
He would not give her the chance to speak.
He flashed her a handsome smile and said, “Bingxuan, I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
Sorry, my part today is done.
Li Ran had no interest in figuring out whether Mu Bingxuan had lost her mind today.
In any case, goodbye.
He quickly left with his men.
At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief.
That was close.
Although there were some unexpected twists, the plot had finally been completed perfectly through his efforts.
Next, Mu Bingxuan would take Lin Ming to the pharmacy for treatment.
Whatever. It had nothing to do with him anymore.
After Li Ran left, Mu Bingxuan did not even spare a glance at the bruised and battered Lin Ming.
She simply entered the campus with her bodyguards.
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd was stunned by Lin Ming’s displayed strength.
“Didn’t expect that poor kid to have some skills. He actually knocked down all six of Li Ran’s bodyguards by himself.”
“Kid, well done. You even scared Li Ran into running away.”
“Incredible. From now on, protecting the goddess is your responsibility.”
“Keep it up. We believe in you!”
Lin Ming fell silent.
Li Ran had fled because of the strength he displayed.
This time, I guess I did manage to show off… right?
But the result was completely different from what he had planned.
Mu Bingxuan did not even ask his name before leaving.
Something seemed to drip from the corner of his mouth. Lin Ming wiped it with his hand.
“Hiss… damn, that hurts!”
