Seeing Lin Haotian make a move, Liu Yufei and the many sports students behind him did not make a sound, nor did they make a move. They just stood still and watched.
Lin Haotian was not particularly strong, and his height was only about 1.8 meters, not exceptionally tall. However, his skin was dark and his muscles were firm, giving him a very tough and capable aura. He looked like a fierce warrior, adept at combat.
Lin Haotian was the only one among them who was unarmed. His fists were harder than a baseball bat, so there was no need to use one as a weapon.
Lin Haotian's gaze was sharp. When he was less than three meters away from Zhang Fan, his figure suddenly flashed, and he charged towards Zhang Fan with a powerful punch.
"Stop!" a resonant female voice suddenly came from the doorway, interrupting Lin Haotian's movement.
Everyone turned to look and saw a beautiful woman with an heroic appearance walking towards them. Zhang Fan and Zhuo Tairan exchanged a look, both surprised, as this beauty was actually Qiao Ruxin.
Standing beside Qiao Ruxin was a young man in white with fair skin. The young man had a handsome face and a slightly slender build, but he exuded an aura of dominance that made him impossible to ignore.
Qiao Yicheng, one of the school bullies at Donghai No. 7 High School. Zhang Fan had no previous interactions with him, but he was surprised that Qiao Ruxin could actually summon him. Zhang Fan found this very unexpected.
Both of them had the surname Qiao. Were they siblings? However, Zhang Fan had been classmates with Qiao Ruxin for many years and had never heard her mention any siblings.
"Qiao Yicheng, what do you mean by this?" Liu Yufei looked at the newcomers, his expression changing slightly, and said sternly, "This is a personal grudge between me and Zhang Fan, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
"I don't care about your grudges with anyone, but since my young lady called me here, I have no choice," Qiao Yicheng said, glancing at Qiao Ruxin beside him with a hint of helplessness.
"So, you cannot touch this person today," Qiao Yicheng said, pointing at Zhang Fan.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yufei's face instantly darkened. He stared at Qiao Yicheng with cold eyes, and after a long silence, he said resolutely, "What if I insist on moving him?"
"Then there's no room for negotiation. Ask my brothers if they agree!" Qiao Yicheng spread his hands and pointed towards the door on the rooftop. The doorway was now blocked by a group of young men.
Each of those young men held a stick or club in their hands. They outnumbered Liu Yufei's group by several times and exuded an imposing aura. As long as Qiao Yicheng gave the order, they would attack without hesitation.
Although their individual combat strength might not be as good as Liu Yufei's group, they held an absolute advantage in numbers. If a fight broke out, no matter who won, the losses would be considerable, likely resulting in a mutually destructive situation.
Liu Yufei did not expect Qiao Yicheng to be so determined. He was willing to fall out with him completely for Zhang Fan, someone he didn't even know. Although he wasn't afraid of Qiao Yicheng, the other party also showed no fear of him. Moreover, given the current situation, they were at a slight disadvantage because there was also Zhang Fan, whose combat ability was unknown.
The rooftop was silent. Everyone looked at Liu Yufei, waiting for his decision on whether to fight or retreat.
"I hope you can be this lucky next time!" After analyzing the situation, Liu Yufei decided to give up. He stared resentfully at Zhang Fan, full of unwillingness, and said, "Let's go!"
With that, he prepared to lead his group away from the rooftop.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan was not having it. It was rare to have someone come looking for a beating, so how could Zhang Fan let them leave?
Zhang Fan took a step forward and blocked their path, smiling and saying, "Want to leave? Did you ask for my opinion?"
"What? Do you think that just because Qiao Yicheng is here, I really won't dare to touch you?" Liu Yufei sneered when he saw Zhang Fan daring to block him.
"Zhang Fan, don't be rash!" Qiao Ruxin quickly came over, trying to pull Zhang Fan away. She knew Zhang Fan was a good fighter, but the other party had a group of sports students, all armed with baseball bats. Even if Zhang Fan was incredibly skilled, he would likely suffer.
"Little girl, did you forget how powerful I was last night?" Zhang Fan glanced at the anxious Qiao Ruxin and smiled.
As soon as he said this, the rooftop fell into a brief silence. Everyone looked at the two of them with strange expressions, and the atmosphere became peculiar.
Qiao Ruxin was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. Her face instantly turned crimson, and she said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing this, Zhang Fan knew that everyone had misunderstood him. However, it was not an opportune moment to explain, so Zhang Fan could only shrug helplessly and remain silent.
"Haha, so that's why beautiful Qiao is trying so hard to help this kid. It turns out there's this kind of relationship. It's not strange at all now," Liu Yufei laughed loudly from the side.
The many sports students behind him burst into laughter. Qiao Yicheng also looked at Zhang Fan with a strange expression, then shifted his gaze to Qiao Ruxin, finally showing a look of understanding.
"So much nonsense, are we going to fight or not?" Zhang Fan frowned.
"How are we going to fight?" Liu Yufei glanced at Qiao Yicheng, his meaning clear.
"Of course, I'll take on all of you. I, Zhang Fan, don't need anyone's help to deal with a bunch of trash like you," Zhang Fan said dismissively, shaking his head.
"Haha, Brother Qiao, it seems you came here unnecessarily today. He doesn't need your help at all," Liu Yufei burst into laughter upon hearing this.
He thought Zhang Fan's statement was incredibly foolish. Not only did it eliminate the possibility of Qiao Yicheng helping him, but by instigating this way, it also indirectly embarrassed Qiao Yicheng. This made Liu Yufei very happy, and judging by the situation, he might still have a chance to deal with Zhang Fan today!
Qiao Yicheng frowned upon hearing this and remained silent. He felt that Zhang Fan's words were ungrateful, but he was there out of consideration for Qiao Ruxin today. Therefore, he looked at Qiao Ruxin to see her reaction.
Qiao Ruxin was still in the midst of her embarrassment. Seeing everyone's gaze on her, she was about to speak up for Zhang Fan when he interrupted her.
Zhang Fan looked at Qiao Ruxin and said seriously, "Trust me. This bunch of trash isn't even enough to warm me up."
Looking at Zhang Fan's determined eyes, Qiao Ruxin recalled what Zhang Fan had done in the past few days since school started. She felt that Zhang Fan might actually be able to do it. Thinking of this, Qiao Ruxin couldn't help but nod at Qiao Yicheng, signaling him not to interfere in what was about to happen.
"Alright, I won't interfere with your dispute today. You can handle it yourselves. I'll just consider myself and my brothers here to watch a show!" Qiao Yicheng didn't understand why Qiao Ruxin had such confidence in that kid, but since Qiao Ruxin had nodded, he couldn't forcefully help Zhang Fan.
"Heh heh, kid, you could have walked down today, but you insisted on going down lying down. I don't know if I should call you spirited or foolish," Liu Yufei said with a sinister smile as he looked at Zhang Fan, having received Qiao Yicheng's assurance.
