Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Conspiracy of Second Young Master Bai "Who I am is none of your business, but rest assured, I won’t harm you or your little Xuanxuan," Zhang Lingyu didn’t budge and even teased Lin Tian back. Such light teasing couldn’t shut Lin Tian up—he wasn’t a little girl after all. Yet when he wanted to continue questioning, Xiao Manxuan came over, confused, and said, "What are you two muttering about? Class Leader He and the others have already gone inside." He turned around and, sure enough, only the three of them were left at the entrance. Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Lingyu also entered the West Garden Restaurant, no longer paying attention to Lin Tian. She wasn’t willing to talk, and Lin Tian couldn’t pry anything out of her—it wasn’t like he could tie her up and tend to her with a whip and candle, could he? Speaking of whips, an image swiftly crossed Lin Tian’s mind, but Xiao Manxuan was already urging him, so he didn’t think more of it and entered the West Garden Restaurant. The West Garden Restaurant wasn’t particularly upscale; it just had a really nice ambiance. Thus, many students whose families were quite well-off and who didn’t want to eat in the cafeteria would dine here. The top floor was reserved for private rooms. The one booked by Lin Tian and his group was the "West River Moon" room. The restaurant was rumored to be jointly owned by some teachers, hence the names of the rooms were all named after themes from classical poetry. "Come on, classmate Lin Tian, take a seat here. We’ve just discussed and decided to nominate you as the captain of the basketball team. You don’t have any problems with that, do you?" As soon as Lin Tian entered, Class Leader He pulled him to sit down. It didn’t matter to Lin Tian who became captain; he didn’t care. After sitting down, he glanced at Zhang Lingyu, who acted as if nothing was happening, and said, "No problem, you handle it. Luckily, it’s just one game. Even without reserves, we can somehow manage." "Yeah, it’s a tough situation. I’ve asked the others; they don’t even understand the rules of basketball, so they can’t really play even if they wanted to," Yao Yun said somewhat helplessly. At her words, the other four male players sheepishly lowered their heads. They usually played basketball, but only privately amongst themselves. Seeing that Yao Yun’s words were somewhat demotivating, Lin Tian changed the subject, "Let’s talk while we eat. Don’t be discouraged. Later on, each of you talk about what you’re good at—dribbling, shooting, or whatever else." Lin Tian was a mid-term transfer student who joined Class 1 of Grade 3 only for the college entrance exams that were more than a month away. It was just a formality. However, he discovered his classmates were a group of lovely people who helped him rediscover the pure friendship between students. So, he wanted to do something for Grade 3, Class 1, to leave behind some memories of their time together. Even after many years when his classmates would enter society and go their separate ways, they would still remember the days of Grade 3, Class 1, the days of Lin Tian. "Here’s to Grade 3, Class 1—screw the school’s basketball team. We’ll still beat them to a pulp," exclaimed Lin Tian, raising a cup of tea as he couldn’t drink alcohol because they still had classes in the afternoon, and he swore colorfully. The crude language made the pretty girls at the table blush greatly, but the boys became excited. It was the language of men, a battle cry against the enemy. Even the normally composed Class Leader He was stirred by Lin Tian’s profanity, eager to start the game right then and there. Watching Lin Tian’s handsome face, Zhang Lingyu whispered to Xiao Manxuan, "Classmate Lin Tian really knows how to instigate, doesn’t he? Not even men are exempt. I wonder how many little girls he’ll deceive with that mouth in the future." "If he dares, I’ll seal his mouth in the future!" the little girl retorted, tilting her head up fiercely. Zhang Lingyu just looked at her with a smile, shaking her head in amusement. Encouraged by Lin Tian, the classmates began discussing boisterously. Surprisingly, the first to speak was the math whiz Chen Herun, who adjusted his glasses and seriously said, "In the past, I practiced shooting every day to study a difficult math problem in a magazine about the relationship between basketball arcs and parabolic functions. I discovered some interesting things..." Then he pulled out paper and pencil and started to draw and write, completely oblivious to everyone else already petrified. Lin Tian finally saw how a top-performing student practiced. "Uh, Classmate Chen Herun, please pause for a moment. Let’s talk about math problems later, I already know your specialty," Lin Tian quickly interjected, seeing Chen Herun’s unstoppable momentum when discussing math. Then he gestured for the next student to speak, a not-too-tall guy probably about 1.6 meters, named Gao Le. He said shyly, "I’m good at high jump. I always participate in the high jump events during our class’s sports competitions." "How high can you jump?" Lin Tian asked curiously. "I can touch the basketball hoop when I jump up." What talent, it was unseen, the class really was a hiding place for dragons and tigers, Lin Tian was very surprised. Next was Class Leader He, who was good at dribbling, and another was the big fatty Huang Dayong, whose body was bigger than a doorway. "Hehe, although I’m very fat, I’m quite agile, my idol is the great shark O’Neal!" Lin Tian looked at the sports committee member Yao Yun with a very skeptical gaze, but Yao Yun nodded firmly in confirmation. "Alright, I’ll assign the tasks now, I’ll take on the role of attracting attention, Fatty Huang takes the inside, Class Leader He handles the ball and raids, Chen has limited stamina, so he’ll stay back at the hoop to shoot, and Gao Le can be responsible for blocking their shots. Hmph, we’re not just going to win, but we’re going to humiliate them thoroughly, and let them know that Class 1 of Senior Year 3 is not to be messed with." Everyone had their own tasks based on their talents. Perhaps they were all weak individually, but Lin Tian was confident that he could unite them into one force. "Sir, this is your last dish," a pretty waitress said as she brought over a lotus leaf chicken. "We didn’t order this dish," Xiao Manxuan said, somewhat puzzled. "That’s right, the head waiter said it was ordered by a student surnamed Sun in the West River Moon private room," the waitress said. "This is West River Moon," Lin Tian thought to himself, correcting her. The waitress’s face turned red, she apologized quietly, and left. Pretending to go to the restroom, Lin Tian told his classmates to start eating and followed the waitress out. The West River Moon private room was down the opposite corridor. After the waitress came out, Lin Tian leaned against the wall, pretending to use his phone, but his gaze was actually peering into the room. It was indeed that bastard Sun Decai. Having heard the waitress mention him, Lin Tian had had a hunch, and the person dining with Sun Decai turned out to be that pretty boy Bai Yufeng. At the moment, there were only three people in the private room, the other being Uncle Zhao. "Uncle Zhao, are you sure this thing works?" Bai Yufeng picked up a small bottle, curious about its contents. Uncle Zhao smiled smugly and said, "Mr. Bai, rest assured, this dissolve power medicine I bought in the black market is extremely potent. It won’t do much to ordinary people, but if an Ancient Martial Artist were to be poisoned by it, all his True Qi would scatter, turning him into a disabled person." "Brother Decai, aren’t you relieved now? I also didn’t expect Lin Tian, just a poor student, to actually be an Ancient Martial Artist," Bai Yufeng said, eyeing the small bottle with narrowed eyes, and spoke somberly.
