Hu Chan held it in until his whole face turned red.
This was weird. He kept getting dragged into the ditch by Qin Siyang for no reason.
What a tough opponent.
Qin Siyang kept asking, "When you disguised yourself as the blond guy, did you ever lift your leg and pee on the street?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Answer my question first. If you had just told Rong Xin directly to kill Yamamoto Taro, wouldn't that have saved you a lot of trouble?"
Seeing he couldn't get any more out of him, Qin Siyang said with a bored look, "Your question really lacks any awareness of thinking from someone else's point of view. You're familiar with me, so you know what I've done. But what about strangers? If I say I killed Yamamoto Taro, would a South Glory student believe it? A Snake Card wanted criminal. If I say I killed him, that makes it true? Do all the students in the school know how strong a Snake Card wanted criminal is?"
"Do you believe that even if I threw Yamamoto Taro's corpse right in their faces, if they wanted to pick a fight, they'd still pick a fight?"
"Little Saint, you have to understand that most people are really shallow. The best way to make them understand my strength is to fight someone they're familiar with."
"Alright, enough talking. I'm going to shower and sleep."
After Qin Siyang left, Hu Chan nodded. It seemed like what he said made sense.
'But… something still feels off.'
"Is Qin Siyang trying to play some kind of pretend-to-be-weak-to-eat-the-tiger trick and planning to pit someone?"
"Forget it. He can pit whoever he wants. Anyway, it won't be me this time."
———
Qin Siyang had just finished showering when he saw an extra meal on the table.
"Hm? You didn't eat dinner?"
Hu Chan looked helpless, "Someone ordered porridge for you."
"Porridge?"
A warmth rose in Qin Siyang's chest and his eyes brightened, "Vegetable and egg-drop porridge! I love porridge the most!"
He began wolfing it down.
Hu Chan listened to Qin Siyang smacking his lips nonstop and looked at him with disgust for a while, but Qin Siyang didn't pay any attention to his look.
He could only get into bed first and get ready to rest.
———
Maybe because he kept savoring the taste of the porridge in his mind before sleeping, Qin Siyang didn't fall asleep until late, and he didn't get up until almost noon.
Hu Chan was nowhere to be seen, probably off discussing something with Yu Ziying.
Qin Siyang got up and looked at the Blue Star calendar on the wall, cursing, "This kid Hu Chan really can't keep his hands still. He even tore off yesterday's Blue Star page for me! Why would I need him for such a trivial thing? Doesn't he know tearing the Blue Star calendar every day is a ritual for me?"

"Medical treatment? That has nothing to do with me."
———
Qin Siyang went out again and wandered the streets like usual.
The first stop was still Miracle Building.
He took a look outside Miracle Building. It seemed all the professors had returned.
After greeting each professor, he was grabbed by Hao Liang, who asked him when he could find a multi-headed weasel. Hao Liang also gave him a whole box of potions so he could use them for protection during battles.
When someone gives you something, you can't refuse too harshly, and when you eat someone's food, you can't talk too hard. With no choice, Qin Siyang had to promise that he would help look for a multi-headed weasel if he ever got the chance.
As for when that chance would be, even Qin Siyang didn't know.
After greeting all the professors, he went up to the sixth floor and saw Li Tianming humming a tune while studying a piece of Bluewater Glazed Star Ore.
"Yo, Little Qin came?"
"Old Li, did you enjoy Father's Day yesterday?"
"Sigh, took Little Fei to an amusement park. Since Little Fei had fun, of course I was happy too."
A sigh rose in Qin Siyang's heart.
He wondered if that clever little brat Li Pengfei was truly happy, or if he was just trying to make Old Li happy.
"Little Qin, did you come to me for something?"
"Yeah. I have two corpses and I want you to help me find someone who can read their memories."
"Corpses?", Li Tianming put down the Bluewater Glaze Star Ore and asked seriously, "Whose?"
"One belongs to Zhang Yingrui, the yellow-robed Protector of Zephyr Church, and the other is Yamamoto Taro, the Snake Card Hearts 7."
"Zhang Yingrui and Yamamoto Taro?", Li Tianming froze for a moment, "So many things have happened lately that I forgot those two corpses were still in your hands."
Qin Siyang snorted, "Just say you were taking care of your family. Don't blame it on having too many things going on. Hypocrite."
"Can't be bothered with you. The memories of these two are quite sensitive, so we need to find someone reliable."
"Why not find that friend who helped you read Director Zhou Xing's memories before?"
Li Tianming waved his hand, "He's outside the safe zone right now. Can't reach him."
"Then wait till he comes back. I'm not in a hurry."
"It's already been two months with no contact. Should we wait until the twelfth of never?"
"Two months without contact? Did he die outside the safe zone?"
Li Tianming let out a sigh, "Who knows. Every year, quite a few people with the Lion, Tiger, and Wolf Cards go missing outside the safe zone. Whether they're killed by gods or by enemies, the outside has never been a safe place."
Then he glanced at Qin Siyang, "But of course, you're an exception. You go outside the safe zone like you're going home."
"If we can't find your friend, then how do we read their memories?"
Li Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Give these two corpses to Principal Zhao and have him help read the memories. Zhao family's black market has plenty of capable people. They'll definitely have a way. And don't worry about him learning the information. You're already on the same boat as the Zhao family anyway."
Qin Siyang pondered.
He had just owed Zhao Longfei a huge favor yesterday. He could pay back a little now.
"Alright. I'll ask Principal Zhao for help and I'll give you a copy of the memories too."
"Good. Oh right, Little Qin, Old Zhang told you about the thesis hearing, right?"
"Yes. I've decided to go to the hearing and meet them properly."
"Meet them properly at the meeting? Let me sort that out."
"It's not hard to understand. Anyway, if soldiers come, block them with generals. If water comes, cover it with earth. I'm not going to let them take advantage of me for nothing."
Seeing the confidence on Qin Siyang's face, Li Tianming nodded, "As long as you know what you're doing. We'll cover you when the time comes."
"Yeah, thanks."
"There's no need for thanks between us. One more thing, I heard you're going to the battle arena with second-year students?"
"That's right. You saw the school forum too?"
"Where would I get the free time for that? Wu Yu told us during the group meeting this morning."
Li Tianming looked at Qin Siyang seriously, "Little Qin, since you're going to fight someone again, there's something I have to tell you."
"Don't worry, I won't lose."
"Whatever you do, don't kill him."
"Huh? You're not worried I'll lose? Alright… I'll try."
"Not try. You have to! This is a school. The other students aren't like you, killing people like it's nothing. You have to live here for four years. Don't cause trouble for yourself before you've even enrolled!"
Qin Siyang scratched his cheek, "What if I hold back too much and get killed by him?"
"Are you messing with me? You killed Yamamoto Taro. And you need to go all out to fight a second-year student?"
"You've never heard that when a lion hunts a rabbit, it still uses all its strength."
"All your strength my foot, brat. Don't make me smack you!"
