Chapter 55: A Sudden Threat and a Preemptive Strike

[System: Host, please note, hostility towards the Cultivator has been detected, and the individual is rapidly approaching!]

Just as he was speaking with Bai Mengze, the System’s voice suddenly rang out.

Ji Wenyan froze, taken aback. Once he regained his composure, he wasted no time on further conversation with the System. Instead, he swiftly scanned his surroundings, eager to identify who harbored ill will towards Bai Mengze.

Which audacious individual had the gall to provoke trouble for Bai Mengze? His bodyguard was right here!

However, after a thorough search, the sheer number of people made it impossible for Ji Wenyan to pinpoint anyone.

This became even more challenging when a new group of people, equipped with cameras for a live broadcast, entered, making it even harder to identify any suspects.

As for Xuan Li and Li Zhongyi, the two most likely suspects, they were not currently in the stadium. Naturally, it wouldn’t be them attempting to harm Bai Mengze.

‘Who could it be?’

“Ji Wenyan, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I was just suddenly thinking about whether the makeup box is safe in the student union’s hands… It’s a bit tiring to keep carrying it around.”

As Ji Wenyan searched frantically, Bai Mengze, noticing his sudden movements, looked at him with a face full of confusion, wondering what he was doing.

Upon hearing Bai Mengze’s words, Ji Wenyan simply offered her a faint smile, opting not to reveal the true reason.

‘Such a minor issue, he could handle it alone!’

[System, who is trying to harm Bai Mengze?]

[System: Searching for the suspect’s identity requires 100 Star Source Points. Does the Host wish to proceed with the payment?]

[You drive a hard bargain. Pay!]

[System: 100 Star Source Points have been deducted. The Host’s current account balance is 0.]

Despite his resolve, Ji Wenyan still sought the System’s help.

With so many people around, by the time he investigated each one individually, the opportunity would be long past.

Thus, even if the System was taking advantage of the urgent situation, Ji Wenyan didn’t hesitate, directly paying the 100 Star Source Points.

‘Once he found this person, he would definitely teach them a lesson. How dare they make him waste 100 Star Source Points!’

[System: Information generating… Li Zerui, age 46, Chairman of Zerui Construction Company. The reason for his hostility towards the Cultivator is due to his daughter, Li Zhongyi.]

[System: Li Zerui’s dangerous behavior has been detected. He intends to splash water from a cup onto the Cultivator, aiming for public humiliation.]

[System: Li Zerui will reach the Cultivator in one minute.]

After Ji Wenyan paid the Star Source Points, the System’s efficiency was remarkable.

Within seconds, detailed information appeared before Ji Wenyan’s eyes.

His brow furrowed as he read the text. He hadn’t expected the source of this danger to be Li Zhongyi’s father.

‘For an adult of his age to try and bully a high school student like Bai Mengze, it was truly shameless!’

After the System withdrew the text from Ji Wenyan’s view, a person with the vivid red characters [Li Zerui] hovering above their head immediately entered his line of sight.

‘It seemed this was the one intending to harm Bai Mengze. With him, Ji Wenyan, present, how could he possibly allow anyone to hurt Bai Mengze?’

“Ah! My Minion Mango Smoothie!!!”

As Li Zerui rapidly approached Bai Mengze, Ji Wenyan swiftly snatched the drink from a girl nearby. Before Li Zerui could even ‘accidentally’ spill the water with a smirk, Ji Wenyan preemptively doused him in yellow liquid.

Drip, drip, drip.

The liquid dripped down Li Zerui’s hair, splattered onto his feet, and gathered into a yellow puddle on the ground.
