The morning passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was lunch break.
Li Zhiyin returned from the store with a loaf of bread, planning to continue reviewing her lessons.
She had also bought a carton of strawberry milk for Yan Juexia, his favorite, as an apology for accidentally pinning him under the door.
As Li Zhiyin passed by the fountain, she caught a glimpse of milky-white objects and some books floating in the water.
?
She stopped, her gaze slowly settling on the floating objects in the water.
They were actually her books.
And… her pencil case.
The old pencil case had been cut into several tattered pieces, floating pitifully on the water, drifting farther away with the ripples.
Her face paled. She quickly took off her shoes and socks, waded into the water, and picked up the pencil case, examining it carefully!
It had been cut to shreds, inside and out?!
This was something Lele had saved up for a long time to buy!!
Li Zhiyin trembled as she held the pencil case, a sudden surge of killing intent flashing in her eyes!
Who did this?!
A timid female voice sounded behind her: “Is this your stuff? I just saw Meng Xiaoyu from Class 1-8 throw these things here. She’s on the second floor of the cafeteria now.”
Another female voice urged anxiously: “Stop talking. Meng Xiaoyu is Li Wuyou’s lackey. Do you want to provoke Li Wuyou? Let’s go, quick!”
Hearing this, Li Zhiyin looked toward the grand cafeteria building.
Second floor, huh?
Alright.
Today, the school cafeteria was bustling with excitement.
Every student was discussing Li Zhiyin—
“Did you hear? That Level Ten girl named Li Zhiyin flattened the door of Class Six as soon as she showed up! She even pinned Prince Yan Juexia under the door!”
“What?! Li Zhiyin blew up the door of Class Six as soon as she appeared?! The door flew off?! And she kicked Yan Juexia away?!”
“What? What? Li Zhiyin kicked the door of Class Six off and carried Yan Juexia on her shoulder while doing a flower-hand dance?!”
“What? What? What? Li Zhiyin carried the door with one hand and Yan Juexia with the other, performing a carp leaping over the dragon gate inside the classroom?!”
Amidst all this chatter, Li Zhiyin stepped through the entrance to the second floor of the cafeteria.
The students glanced toward the door, their expressions shifting from lively discussion to stunned silence as they stared at Li Zhiyin, who had suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Her dark hair fluttered slightly in the breeze, as if carrying a hint of murderous intent.
Those nearby couldn’t help but shiver.
The noisy cafeteria gradually fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone looked at Li Zhiyin by the door, curious yet somewhat fearful.
If they remembered correctly, this was the Level Ten War God.
The War God didn’t look like she was here to eat.
She looked like she was here to eat someone.
Meng Xiaoyu, completely unaware, was still chatting with her friends, her shrill voice dripping with mockery as she drawled: “You have no idea how disgusting her pencil case was—so old and outdated. I had to use tweezers to cut it up, hahaha!~”
As she spoke, Meng Xiaoyu glanced toward the entrance and saw Li Zhiyin. Her expression changed slightly.
Li Zhiyin scanned the vast cafeteria, then pulled out a megaphone from who-knows-where: “Who is Meng Xiaoyu from Class 1-8?”
Meng Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow and stood up from her chair: “That’s me.”
The crowd looked at her in surprise.
Li Zhiyin locked eyes with her and held up the pencil case: “Did you do this?”
Meng Xiaoyu paused, then curled her lips into a leisurely smile: “Do you have proof?”
Her eyes were filled with provocation.
As if Li Zhiyin couldn’t do anything to her.
Li Zhiyin smiled back: “Yes, I do.”Meng Xiaoyu frowned. “Where?”
Li Zhiyin’s smile widened. “You are my evidence.”
Meng Xiaoyu: “?”
Li Zhiyin suddenly broke into a run toward her!
Meng Xiaoyu screamed in fright and turned to flee, but Li Zhiyin leaped over a table, landing right in front of her!
Gasps erupted all around. “Holy shit! She’s so fast!”
“Damn, is she the Flash or something?!”
“Am I about to witness the combat power of a Level Ten War God today?!”
Meng Xiaoyu hadn’t expected her to be this fast either, panic flashing across her face. “What do you want?!”
Li Zhiyin slapped her hard!
Caught off guard, Meng Xiaoyu was then slammed onto the table by Li Zhiyin. “Who told you to do it?!”
Meng Xiaoyu’s ears were ringing, tears instantly falling from the pain. “What are you talking about?!”
Li Zhiyin: “Who told you to break my things and throw my books into the fountain?!”
She shoved the megaphone right up to Meng Xiaoyu’s mouth. “Talk! If you don’t, I’ll keep hitting you!!”
Trembling with fear, Meng Xiaoyu quickly caved. “It was Li Wuyou who made me do it! I was just following her orders, I’m sorry, please don’t hit me!!”
Her voice echoed through the second floor of the cafeteria via the megaphone.
The entire crowd erupted in uproar!
“Li Wuyou? Isn’t she the sister of the two young masters of the Li family?!”
“Hah, Li Wuyou has been hypocritical for years, always backstabbing people. Today, she’s finally met her match!”
“But… no matter how strong Li Zhiyin is, she can’t touch Li Wuyou, right? Li Wuyou has the two young masters protecting her.”
“Yeah, who would dare mess with Li Wuyou? Her backing is solid.”
A cold laugh escaped Li Zhiyin’s lips as she grabbed Meng Xiaoyu by the hair and dragged her away. “Take me to see Li Wuyou!!”
The classmates were stunned.
Going to find Li Wuyou?!
Wasn’t she afraid of offending Li Xinghao and Li Yanlang?!
They exchanged glances, abandoning their meals to follow behind Li Zhiyin!
Time to go watch the drama!!
On the third floor of the cafeteria, in the platinum VIP section, Yan Juexia listlessly poked at the food on his plate, completely devoid of appetite.
A young man sat down opposite him. “I heard that as soon as Li Zhiyin entered the classroom, she picked you up and did a backflip, plus a triple twist and a carp leaping over the dragon gate?”
Yan Juexia: “? Are you crazy? How is that possible?!”
The young man laughed. “Good, I thought you two were so close you could hold hands and do aerobics together.”
The other young men chuckled softly.
Chi Ye also had a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Li Wuyou, sitting at the very edge, joined in the laughter. “Of course Brother Yan Juexia wouldn’t be close to Li Zhiyin. Rumors can’t be trusted.”
As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere instantly turned cold.
The smiles vanished from the young men’s faces, and no one paid her any attention.
Yan Juexia irritably stabbed at the food on his plate. “Anyway, don’t mention Li Zhiyin in front of me. I’m not close to her.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of exclamations suddenly erupted from outside—
“Ahhh! Let go of me! It hurts!”
“Li Zhiyin! Li Zhiyin, calm down! You’ll get your parents called if you keep this up!!”
“Holy shit! Is this the combat power of a Level Ten Prosthetic Body?! That’s insane!”
“War God, maybe you should calm down! I’m afraid you’ll get expelled from school, and then I won’t have a big shot to observe anymore!”
The young men looked toward the door in confusion.
Why was it so noisy?
The third floor of the cafeteria was the platinum VIP section, reserved only for those who had donated money to the school—and the amount had to exceed ten million to gain access.So this place was basically their private venue.
Such commotion had never occurred before.
Just as they were feeling puzzled, Li Zhiyin, dragging a girl by the hair, stormed into their line of sight with a murderous aura: “Li Wuyou!!!”
They froze.
Li Zhiyin, with her commanding presence, charged in with swift, determined steps.
Behind her trailed a large crowd of classmates eager to watch the spectacle!
