Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

Martial Arts Miniature World.

These past two days, quite a number of people had also gathered around Meng Yu.

There were the radicals, such as those beside Meng Yu, those twenty-four who were initially promised by Meng Yu that they could be exempted, and those who were selected by Meng Yu yesterday to suppress the disturbances as companions. They were all very angry, how could a proper vote take place alongside these Insect Beasts?

"Why don't you all just agree with Meng Yu, so we can get the exemption?"

Everyone was cursing, and their emotions were also very high.

Someone even stood up, pulled at Meng Yu, and pleaded with him to teach those bastards a lesson right now!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Don't act impulsively!"

Zhuge Caihua frowned and stood up; she stretched out her hand to stop everyone.

Of course, she knew why this was happening, it was nothing but the stupidity and impulsiveness of the crowd. Without realizing it, Meng Yu had formed a small group, and the promise of fifty exemptions had led many people to flock to him voluntarily. His strength made many unconsciously regard him as their backbone!

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what, we are all classmates, we can discuss anything that comes up. There's no need to escalate things to this level; we can negotiate."

"Negotiate?"

At this point, someone became enraged and yelled out. The turmoil of these past few days had made many people realize where they stood.

"Did they think of us when they were being guaranteed their spots?"

"I still owe money to their family!"

"Those people, they understand Formations and possess all sorts of Treasure Tools. Don't think that we outnumber them—when it comes to unity, we can't compare at all, not to mention that their strength is greater than ours. Are we supposed to wait for them to make the first move?"

"Right, we don't want to kill anyone, we just need to act now and force them to agree with us."

"Indecision only leads to chaos!"

The students started shouting one after another, the atmosphere growing increasingly charged, although it was all just verbal.

"Calm down, everyone, please listen to me, okay? If anyone of you wants to take action, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Zhuge Caihua stretched out both hands, blocking everyone's path, while looking at Meng Yu for help, hoping he would say something.

People outside, including many spectators from the Immortal Sect, didn't understand one thing, and that was what Zhuge Caihua was actually doing!

There was a key point in this.

Last night, when she arranged for Meng Yu to be a Patrol Officer, she had set up a Shielding Formation and then used the Whispering Secret Technique to candidly tell Meng Yu what she wanted to do.

She wanted to keep the peace but also did not want the vote to pass!

Whether it was the first day's voting or the subsequent ones, like today, no matter how well Meng Yu did or how favorable the conditions were, the proposal would never pass.

It wasn't because they wanted to oppose Meng Yu that they opposed the vote, but Zhuge Caihua felt that it shouldn't succeed!

On the first day, if it wasn't for that fool Wang Youcai jumping out, someone else would soon use a similar tactic to Wang Youcai's to inflame the crowd and cause the vote to fail.

Because if the vote passed, what would they do when True Lord of Bai Yang came down to clear the area?

Just like today's vote, Fuchun Yun actually didn't care about Meng Yu adding fifty more exemptions and even thought that Meng Yu was handsome and good, but she had to oppose, sharply and venomously, and then sabotage the vote.

Zhuge Caihua, in contact with a very few individuals, was taking a risk.

Fourteen more days, just fourteen more days, and before the final three days, they absolutely had to keep the situation under control so that the vote would not pass, to prevent True Lord of Bai Yang from clearing out and killing eleven thousand one hundred students!

Within the Shielding Formation, they used the Whispering Secret Technique to discuss, managing not only to deceive most of the students but even Mirror Twelve didn't broadcast these things. As a result, what the outside world saw was Zhuge Caihua finding a lickspittle in Meng Yu.

Incredibly, Meng Yu was suspended by a carrot and took the initiative to help.

But in truth, Zhuge Caihua persuaded him with reason.

At the same time, Zhuge Caihua had another task to accomplish; the camp must not fall into chaos.

Originally, Zhuge Caihua was prepared to enter the field herself and, along with some of the top one hundred students, maintain order and prevent any issues. However, she was pleasantly surprised to see Meng Yu. It was much more convenient for Meng Yu to step forward than for her. After hearing her arrangements, Meng Yu pondered for a while and then suggested, "I will be the one to maintain order, but all confiscated items must belong to me!"

The girl nodded at Meng Yu, hoping for a tacit understanding between them.

She had anticipated the current situation and had discussed it with Meng Yu: other students were bound to be extremely dissatisfied. She hoped Meng Yu would be able to resolve the situation without letting the problem escalate. Meng Yu replied that it was no big deal; let them curse, as he wouldn't lose a chunk of flesh, right?

Of course, there would be quite a few dissatisfied people who would need Zhuge Caihua to stand up later, while he would assist from the sidelines. Just in case anyone attacked Zhuge Caihua or something, Zhuge Caiyun could then share her narrative about how, although she is a wealthy lady, her daily life is no different from anyone else's. She could concoct a few tragic stories, such as suffering from leukemia, having an evil sister, and frequently doing good deeds etc. As long as the beautiful girls were introduced to everyone, that would suffice.

Regarding Meng Yu's idea, Zhuge Caiyun responded with a smiling face, assuring him not to worry, that it was a piece of cake for her. If his story wasn't effective, she would persuade them.

Listened with a confused expression, it took Meng Yu a while to understand Zhuge Caihua's intention. He then declared that he was just a brute with nothing but muscles in his head. He didn't understand all these roundabout tactics they were discussing, whether it was stalling until the end or whatever strategic arrangements were being made within the group of one hundred. Since he didn't understand, he wouldn't get involved. His only hope was that Zhuge Caihua wouldn't deceive him, a simple countryman.

His naïveté made Zhuge Caihua cover her mouth with a smile, like a cat that had stealthily eaten a treat.

The students swarmed towards Zhuge Caihua, asking angrily.

And Meng Yu came to Zhuge Caihua's side, his broad shoulders shielding the brewing public sentiment.

Meng Yu's prestige was high. As long as he spoke up to stabilize everyone, then the issue could be resolved. Down there... she had a hundred ways to rouse everyone's spirits.

Then, the man turned his head.

"Are you really going to block everyone?"

Meng Yu asked seriously.

"Yes, I..."

Zhuge Caihua gave Meng Yu a look; she hoped Meng Yu would understand her intentions. For today, she would trouble Meng Yu, hoping...

With a flash of the sword, her head soared into the sky.

Meng Yu wielded his sword and with a clean, decisive strike, he beheaded Zhuge Caihua.

He was overwhelmed with grief and wore an expression of reluctance on his face... ah no, it was one of determination, ferocity, and utter disregard as he looked at everyone!

If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!

When disaster strikes, some people cry out for everyone to work through the hard times together, which is great.

But when you were feasting, you didn't call for me; I went hungry while you enjoyed wealth and prosperity. Now, when dangers and difficulties arise, you remember that I am a strong fighter?

I don't mind considering the big picture, but don't expect me to play along!

Throughout history, how many loyal ministers and generals have been ruined by those who emphasized the greater good, even to the point of bringing down entire countries!

If our principles differ, then I shall not conspire with you. And if you insist on dragging me into your cause for the greater good, then don't blame me.

He looked fiercely at those around him, at the bewildered and astonished students.

The blood on the tip of the sword dripped down, drop by drop.
