Chapter 79: Pretending To Be Weak

When Yang Murong heard Lu Yan’s question, he instantly frowned.

He did not see Lu Yan’s previous battle. An assassin in the team sensed that there was someone here and came to take a look.

Realizing that the other party had a lot of people, Yang Murong wanted to come over and prepare to break out together.

As for the other party’s strength, Yang Murong did not consider it at all.

Even if the other party was very weak, they could still use him as a shield.

However, he did not expect the other party to be so vigilant.

“You’re just a group of children. Why are you asking so many questions? Hurry up and get your undead to move aside. I’ll bring you guys out.”

“That’s right. Don’t be so shameless. From the looks of it, you guys are probably the new students of a university, right?”

“You’re at most level ten. We’re all around level 25. If you don’t rely on us to bring you out, you’ll probably be completely wiped out here.”

Before Yang Murong could speak, his teammates beside him started clamoring.

However, this was also normal. After all, in their eyes, Lu Yan and the others were only some brats.

They were not at school where there was gentle treatment, but the wilderness.

Yang Murong did not speak, wanting to see how the guy in front of him would deal with it.

Lu Yan frowned slightly when he heard the people in front of him. “If you’re unwilling to answer, then forget it. We won’t work together. Everyone, it’s better for you to leave.

“If you get any closer, I’ll attack.”

Lu Yan could rely on himself to break out with these people. He really did not need these high level professionals.

Yang Murong raised his eyebrows. He did not expect the guy in front of him to be so determined.

Then, the man stopped his teammates who wanted to continue speaking and smiled at Lu Yan. “Little brother, my teammates are all rough people and don’t speak well. Please forgive them.

“Since everyone is gathered and facing a common danger, why don’t we face it together?

“Look, we’re not weak. If we join forces, won’t our chances of escaping be higher?”

Seeing Lu Yan’s tough attitude, Yang Murong directly put on a gentle attitude.

This was his way of dealing with the world. If the other party was easy to bully, he would directly intimidate them and become the leader. When they broke through, he would arrange for them to be in the most dangerous position.

If the other party’s attitude was firm, they would be gentler and achieve the outcome of breaking out together. At the very least, it was much better than breaking out alone.

As for starting a war with the other party?

That was something only idiots would do.

In a situation where they were surrounded by undead knights, it would be stupid to fight among themselves.

Hearing Yang Murong’s words, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and then pointed to the side. “You guys stay there. After resting for five minutes, directly break through. At that time, we’ll move together, but don’t get too close.”

Lu Yan was not at ease with Yang Murong and the others, but his thoughts were the same as Yang Murong. It was much better for them to break out together than to break out alone.

At the very least, these guys could share a lot of the pressure.

Yang Murong smiled and nodded. Then, he began to rest beside Lu Yan and the others.

They had also broken through the encirclement of the undead knights several times before arriving and needed to recover.

Yang Murong took out some potions from his spatial item and directly consumed them to begin recovering his mental strength and injuries.

Lu Yan observed Yang Murong’s team. This was a very common hunting team in the wilderness.

The distribution of members was also relatively comprehensive. There were two warriors, an assassin, a mage, and a priest.

Lu Yan was somewhat surprised that the other party had a priest. After all, priests were very rare.

As Lu Yan observed Yang Murong’s team, the members of Li Fengyan’s team were also observing Lu Yan.

“This big shot looks very young. Guess how many levels he’s hiding?”

“I think he has to have hidden his level for at least 4 or 5, right? I think his true level is 23 or 24.”

“Not at all. Didn’t you see how easy it was for this big shot to kill that undead knight just now? I think he’s at least level 30.”

“No matter what level he is, don’t you think he’s very handsome? I wonder if he has a girlfriend.”

“Stop being infatuated. Look at the two beauties beside him. Which one of them doesn’t surpass you by a few streets? He’s so young and already so powerful. How could it be possible for him to lack women?”

Li Fengyan got the team members beside him to lower their voices. Then, he arrived beside Lu Yan and prepared to flatter the big shot.

“Ahem, big shot, my name is Li Fengyan. How should I address you?”

Lu Yan turned around and looked at Li Fengyan before replying, “My name is Lu Yan. We’re the specially-recruited new students of the Golden Corner Academy.”

Since they were both students of a university, Lu Yan was not too wary of Li Fengyan. Of course, the main reason was that the other party was too weak and there was no need to be too wary.

“Specially recruited new students of the Golden Corner Academy? Big shot, stop joking. With the way you killed the spirit knight just now, how could you be a new student?” Li Fengyan looked at Lu Yan with a smile, as if saying, “Stop fooling around.”

Lu Yan frowned. “Lie to you? I have no reason to lie to you.”

Li Fengyan was stunned for a moment before looking at Yang Murong with an understanding expression.

“Understood, understood. You’re a new student of the Golden Corner Academy. Hahaha, we’re all new students. We’re really fated. When we break through later, please take care of us, Boss Lu Yan.”

Lu Yan nodded. “If you have spare energy, I’ll help you.”

If it was convenient, Lu Yan did not mind helping Li Fengyan and the others.

The smile on Li Fengyan’s face deepened. He thanked Lu Yan before returning to his team.

“Boss, how was it? Did you find out anything?”

Seeing Li Fengyan return, his teammates quickly surrounded him.

Li Fengyan said proudly, “I wanted to get close to that big shot just now. The other party told me that they’re new students of the Golden Corner Academy.”

“New students of the Golden Corner Academy? How is that possible? That big shot’s combat strength is so powerful. How can he only be a new student?”

“That’s right, Boss. Did you hear wrongly? I would believe it even if he said that he’s a teacher of the Golden Corner Academy. That’s even more believable than saying that he’s a new student.”

When his teammates heard Li Fengyan’s words, they were all shocked and in disbelief.

A new student of the Golden Corner Academy?

The two girls beside that big shot might be, but that big shot was definitely not a new student.

It was impossible for a new student to kill these undead knights so easily, let alone have so many undead.

Li Fengyan smiled and said, “Of course I know that’s impossible. Didn’t you see the group of people over there? This big shot is clearly worried about them, so he deliberately told me this to make those guys relax.”

“Hehe, this is called pretending to be weak. Just you wait. If that group of people dares to do anything, the big shot will definitely give them a surprise.”
