Chapter 26 The Pitiable Zhang Qingshan

Even though the room was still filled with the unique odor of stinkweed and devil pepper, the room had already been cleaned to perfect order, and even the sheets were new.
On the other hand, there wasn’t a trace of Zhang Qingshan and the others at all except for one lackey who was still bitterly waiting.
“You have all done well. Take this. You only have to apply a little bit when you bathe,” Bai Xiaofei said as he tossed over an almost empty porcelain bottle to the lackey. This little bit was definitely not enough for all eight of them, but this wasn’t a problem Bai Xiaofei had to consider.
The lackey received the porcelain bottle and glared fiercely at Bai Xiaofei.
“Our Boss Qingshan said that you better watch out tonight!” Needless to say, the lackey's ability to pass a message was rather professional, and he even passed on Zhang Qingshan’s expression to Bai Xiaofei very nicely.
But he had overlooked a single thing……
He was alone!
“Brother, do you know that there’s a type of substitution puppet in the world?” After Bai Xiaofei said something the lackey didn’t quite understand, Bai Xiaofei slowly moved to the side to reveal Wu Chi and the others behind him. “You’re that substitute, and you’re not a very brilliant one.”
Wu Chi and the others surged over before Bai Xiaofei could finish speaking.
“Don’t be too ruthless, let him crawl back.”
For the next three minutes, cries that were tragic beyond compare incessantly sounded out from room 807……
“Spray the room; otherwise, even a pig can’t sleep here.” As he watched the lackey condemned as a “substitute” hobbling off, Bai Xiaofei tossed a small wooden cylinder then went to catch some fresh air with Huskie.
This was one of the benefits of being the boss: one’s lackeys would willingly do some things that others weren’t willing to do.
Mo Ka and the others were completely convinced of Bai Xiaofei’s status now. Not to mention those rare abilities of Bai Xiaofei’s, even the strange little tools he possessed were enough to cause others to feel powerless and frustrated.
Unknowingly, Bai Xiaofei had become the representation of the word “possibility” in their hearts, and it was the type of “possibility” where everything was possible!
After the three sprayed the stuff Bai Xiaofei gave them, the strange smell filling the room dispersed in the time it took to take a smoke, being replaced by a refreshing fragrance comparable to that of a female dormitory room.
But before the four of them could enjoy their comfortable room properly, a large group of people rushed in like a great flood.
Exactly as Bai Xiaofei had guessed, the people who had come were Zhang Qingshan and the others.
Bang!
The wooden room door was kicked and shattered into pieces. If it wasn’t for Wu Chi standing up and blocking the pieces in time, everyone would have suffered from them.
“Dammit! Beat them up!” Zhang Qingshan roared right after he entered, and his group started controlling their puppets with the intention of making a move.
But in the next second, all of them were collectively stunned……because they saw Qin Lingyan!
Of course, as new students they didn’t know Qin Lingyan’s sway in Starnet Academy, but Qin Lingyan’s uniform of the Sword of Assault wasn’t there for show.
Moreover, the fact that a female student appeared in a male dormitory room was even more deterring than her identity as a first-year student.
“Oh, isn’t this our old friend? I knew you would come, so I intentionally invited Big Sister Lingyan over. I was planning on introducing her to all of you, but it looks like you don’t desire it.” Bai Xiaofei’s unhurried voice resounded, and the sounds of Zhang Qingshan and the others gulping down mouthfuls of saliva rose and fell within the room.
“Hmph! It’s only a woman! It isn’t only you who knows a first-year—” Zhang Qingshan hadn’t finished speaking when a large palm slapped down onto the back of his head.
“You idiot! What are you talking about!” The crowd parted to reveal a first-year senior from the Shield of Defense. He stood in an unshakable position within the group and was Zhang Qingshan’s own elder brother, Zhang Qinghai.
But when facing Qin Lingyan, Zhang Qinghai didn’t reveal the “domineering air” he ought to reveal as a first-year student.
“Big Sister Qin, I’m truly sorry. My ignorant younger brother offended someone by your side. Don’t worry, I’ll surely teach him a good lesson once we get back!” As Zhan Qinghai bent down to an arch, his attitude could be said to be good to a certain extent, but Qin Lingyan didn’t have any intention to pay attention to him. She merely raised the teacup before her and took a small sip.
The words Bai Xiaofei spoke next caused Zhang Qinghai to see a ray of hope: “Alas, Senior Sister’s mood was pretty good earlier. Senior, why couldn’t you have waited until tomorrow? It was so rare for my place to be quiet for a while.”
“Didn’t you hear what he said? Everyone get the f*ck out!” Zhang Qinghai turned his head to the side and roared, and besides Zhang Qingshan, all the other lackeys ran out of the room as if they were fleeing for their lives.
“Young Brother, how about……” Zhang Qinghai’s face carried a trace of modesty as he smiled and looked at Bai Xiaofei.
“I heard that if the things belonging to the academy are damaged, the academy needs to be compensated according to price, right? Mo Ka?” Bai Xiaofei paid no attention to Zhang Qinghai and instead questioned Mo Ka and put on airs.
Mo Ka was no idiot and immediately continued the story. “Yes. Moreover, it seems to be rather expensive. We new students are surely unable to pay for it.”
As soon as Mo Ka finished speaking, Zhang Qinghai took out his jade token.
“Young Brother, here are a hundred Starnet Stone. How about we let the matter of today pass just like this?”
“Senior, how could I have the nerve to do that!?” Bai Xiaofei said and immediately stood up. He held out the jade token in his hand to receive the hundred Starnet Stones. He then walked to Zhang Qingshan’s side before stretching out his hand and patting Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder. “Err……you’re……called?”“Zhang Qingshan.” He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, trying his best to slightly calm his voice. I can be considered to have encountered lifetimes’ worth of misfortune today……
“Right, right, right. Fellow student Qingshan,” Bai Xiaofei said meaningfully as he smiled lightly and once again patted Zhang Qingshan’s shoulder, who was half a head taller than him. “Let’s get along properly in the future. There’s no need to trouble seniors. Right? It’s difficult for them as well. They have to study themselves, so how could they have the time to constantly take care of others? As a younger brother, you have to carefully think about your older brother.”
“Young Brother, you’re right. I’ll try my best not to come over frequently in the future, and I won’t cause any more trouble.” As he smiled extremely gently, Zhang Qinghai had practically arrived at the limit of amiable expressions he was capable of making for the day.
“It’s fine now. Senior, we’ll deal with the rest ourselves. I have to send Senior Sister back in a while, so it isn’t convenient for me to accompany you any longer.” Bai Xiaofei smiled slightly as he made it obvious that it was time to leave, and this was the thing Zhang Qinghai wanted to hear the most at this moment.
After he apologized once more, Zhang Qinghai led Zhang Qingshan to leave Bai Xiaofei’s room, and the expressions of these brothers changed the instant they left the room.
“Big Brother, why should we be afraid of that woman? Could it be that she’s almighty?”
“What the f*ck do you know? Qin Lingyan’s ability to draw support from the first-years is even greater than many second-year students’. I’m not even worthy of carrying her shoes.” Even though it sounded bad, Zhang Qinghai didn’t have any intention of concealing it from his younger brother.
“Then we’re just letting it go like this?” Zhang Qingshan wore an unwilling expression. He was really incapable of swallowing his grievances.
“Hmph! How could I possibly just let it go? But we can’t make a move before her!” Zhang Qinghai wore a gloomy expression, and a trace of viciousness flashed through his eyes.
“Then……we’re……?”
“The reason Qin Lingyan can draw so much support is because a few great bosses among the underclassmen are interested in her. But they’ve always been restraining each other, causing each of them to be unable to succeed. Tell me, what would happen if we find someone to spread the news about her appearance in the male dormitory?”
As soon as Zhang Qinghai finished speaking, Zhang Qingshan’s face instantly bloomed with a smile. It seemed as if the appearance of Bai Xiaofei being struck with misfortune had emerged before his eyes……
