Li Wenyin looked at him quietly with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you out of your mind?"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Lanxie protested, arrogantly expressing his disdain. "He's just a defeated opponent of mine. Why should I be afraid of him? If we're going to fight, then let's fight."

"That's good," Mu nodded in understanding. "This student may lack some rationality, but he happens to have enough ability."

"?" Yu Lan stared at the little boy with a wicked look.

This doesn't sound like a compliment at all.

Li Wenyin asked, "Senior, you got into a fight with him, what was the result?"

"I don't know if it happened suddenly, or if he ran out of his firecracker-like potion."

Yu Lan Xie flashed a glimpse of his arm, which he had just wrapped in gauze.

"He used a spell when he fought me back then."

"He used the spell without saying a word, attacking me as if it were an instinct, without any thought, and without understanding what I was saying."

"Then, as he was casting the spell, wounds began to open up on his body on their own."

"Himself?" Li Wenyin blinked. "Didn't the senior do it?"

Yu Lanxie shook his head: "No, I didn't use any spells that cause scratches. He started getting scratches himself while chanting the spell."

"On my hands, arms, and face, the more I fight, the more wounds open up, and then they bleed."

"I was worried that he would kill himself while we were fighting, so I went around him and knocked him unconscious, then dragged him to the student council."

Judging from this, the main problem is that Ruiyuan is a strange person, and Yulanxie's series of actions show that he is a rather enthusiastic but unlucky guy.

"So, you're not injured, little brother?" Li Wenyin pointed to the gauze on his arm in confusion. "Then why is it wrapped in so much gauze?"

His blood splattered on me.

Yu Lanxie finally addressed his biggest question.

"At first, it was just a few drops that splashed onto my arm, but slowly, my entire forearm turned black."

"It's turned black?" Mu frowned slightly. "Could you take a small piece apart so I can see it?"

Yu Lanxie didn't think much of it, so he unwrapped a bit of the gauze and let him take a look. His originally smooth and fair skin now looked like it had been dyed with charcoal, with different shades of black.

Mu You's expression turned cold.

"No, this..." Li Wenyin glanced at him too, "Senior, are you alright? You faced a monster head-on and got splattered with blood. Under normal circumstances, you'd turn into a zombie!"

No, Yu Lanxie absolutely cannot turn into a zombie.

"What do you mean by turning into a zombie?" Yu Lanxie asked blankly. "But I didn't really feel anything. I just watched it inexplicably turn black."

Muyou: "Did you report this to the student council?"

"I told you, I told you when I brought Ruiyuan over, it's still that vice president."

Yu Lanxie reached into his pocket and pulled out a pink, cute cartoon cat ear band-aid.

"He gave me this."

"They said it was a band-aid to heal wounds and that pink would soothe the mood, and they told me to accept it, but I feel like they're crazy."

Li Wenyin: "..."

"Senior, I think this vice president is even less reliable than me."

Mu stopped talking and smiled as he suppressed his faint killing intent.

"That's true. When I brought Ruiyuan over, he made excuses, saying that it's normal for classmates to have minor squabbles, and that we don't need to come to him for everything, and that we can resolve things privately," Yu Lanxie said indignantly.

Li Wenyin said in disbelief, "Ruiyuan's bleeding hadn't stopped yet, right? My god... his blood was practically splattering like a fountain, and you call that just a little bit of a fight?"

Yu Lanxie: "Yes, the other vice president happened to be away. It was only when Senior Nangong walked in from outside that they mobilized their personnel to arrest Ruiyuan and start an investigation."

Li Wenyin didn't know what to say.

This student council is really doomed without its president, isn't it? What is all this nonsense? Cute cat-ear band-aids, petty squabbles between classmates...

"Senior Yu Lanxie, you need to go to the school hospital right now. I feel something's wrong with your arm. Be careful not to get any dirty stuff on it. Leave this to me, I'll investigate it thoroughly for you."

As Li Wenyin spoke, she pushed Yu Lanxie and led him outside.

As Yu Lanxie was being pushed along, he looked back and said, "Li Wenyin, you should also be careful." Then he glanced thoughtfully at the mysterious little boy behind Li Wenyin.

"Senior, you'd better hurry up and go. If you turn into a zombie, I'll be the first to scream, run away, and start smashing things at you like crazy."

Li Wenyin pushed him out and urged him to go to the hospital quickly. After thinking for a moment, she went back and gave Youyou a few instructions. Taking advantage of the chaos in the student council, she quickly ran back to the Obsidian Academy classroom to get her things.

Before leaving, Yu Lanxie glanced at Li Wenyin's retreating figure and inexplicably believed her.

This girl is always like this; she's usually carefree, unserious, and unreliable, but when faced with a real crisis, she's more reliable than anyone else.

Anyway, he's definitely better than Vice President Zhou Mixuan, who gave him the cute pink cat ear band-aid.

-

Li Wenyin ran back to their private classroom and retrieved the badge that served as an "invisibility cloak" from the locker.

This will definitely be useful.

As she closed the cabinet door, Li Wenyin unexpectedly saw a vial of Mu Feng's potion inside—a failed potion that could cause temporary blindness and deafness.

This... seems to be useful too.

She pulled the vial of medicine out and put it in her pocket.

Li Wenyin donned an invisibility cloak and hurriedly returned to the student union building.

-

Mu was able to see Li Wenyin, who was wearing an invisibility cloak.

He glanced at Li Wenyin, who was peeking in from the front door, and his eyes caught sight of what she was holding. He paused slightly and blinked in surprise.

Li Wenyin was holding a box of strawberry milk.

She herself never drinks this.

Mu averted her gaze, pretending not to notice Li Wenyin, and looked elsewhere, but her eyelashes trembled involuntarily, as if someone had just stroked her fur unintentionally.

"Clang! Clang!"

Li Wenyin crept up to him and suddenly barked in his ear, trying to scare him.

"!" Mu then responsibly played the role of a frightened kitten, and even performed the whole thing with a "frightened but then realized who it was and felt extremely helpless" effect.

"Li Wenyin?"

Li Wenyin was very satisfied and stuffed the strawberry milk in her arms into his hand: "Shh, this is for you. I'm wearing an invisibility cloak, and I'm going to operate like this. How's the situation now?"

Mu took the strawberry milk and gently raised his chin towards the second-floor railing.

Li Wenyin looked over.

A tall, timid boy stood there, wearing the pure white uniform of the student council, but he couldn't exude any sense of nobility or arrogance. He was timid and awkward, his neck hunched and his gaze wandering around in a panic.

His originally handsome and refined appearance was transformed by this aura, giving him a shifty and cunning look.

He gripped the railing with both hands, took several deep breaths, and finally mustered the courage to speak.

"B-Everyone..."

As a result, his voice cracked as soon as he opened his mouth, and the high-pitched sound after cracking sounded very funny. He shrank back in embarrassment and dared not speak again.

"Is that Vice President Zhou Mixuan?" Li Wenyin squatted down and whispered in Mu You's ear.

Mu drank her strawberry milk and hummed.

Li Wenyin commented, "Well... seeing is believing."

"No need to be polite, he's a complete coward," Mu Yourui commented.

-

While they were discussing, the good-for-nothing vice president on the second floor mustered his courage once again, borrowed a microphone from somewhere, held it tightly, and spoke in a trembling voice next to the microphone.

Good evening, everyone.

The students in the waiting area quieted down and, together with many student council members, looked up at Zhou Mixuan on the second floor.

"Please, everyone, calm down. I know... a lot has happened today, and I'm very sorry for disturbing you all..."

"Vice President... Lady Ji Moxuan isn't here, and neither is the President... Only me, sob, only I remain here to help everyone..."

"We...we're already working hard to resolve this. Please trust the student council...trust Lord Nangong Zhi...it will definitely be resolved, yes, it definitely will!"

"That person, that man... he's so scary, waaaaah! He's so frightening! I'm so scared, but don't worry, I'm gathering my courage... to approach him, but it's still so scary, waaaaah—"

The spineless vice president on the second floor started crying as he was talking.

Li Wenyin was completely shocked.

She watched helplessly as Zhou Mixuan spoke, her voice trembling more and more violently, tears streaming down her face, until she could no longer continue. She clung to the railing, sobbing uncontrollably, trembling weakly and helplessly.

This not only shocked Li Wenyin, but also deeply shocked the students in the waiting area next to her.

They've been neglected and left without explanation for so long, and they're already seething with anger. If someone comes along now and tries to appease them with empty words, they'll definitely rush up and demand an explanation.

But faced with this vice president crying her heart out...

They were so incredibly speechless that they couldn't utter a single word.

Li Wenyin wondered why the president usually showed up personally for all occasions, big or small; it turned out that no one else could do it.

The president is the biggest face, the only face.

As Zhou Mixuan sobbed, the young Mu sighed and rubbed his forehead.

-

"Again, are all the students here lined up for solitary confinement for committing crimes?" Li Wenyin withdrew her surprised gaze and asked instead.

Mu shook his head again: "I just asked around, and there are half plaintiffs and half defendants here. It's all trivial matters, and the time is concentrated between the two academy competitions. The student council should have dealt with their matters long ago, but they've been piling up and dragging on without being resolved."

"Oh... no wonder. Now that the academy competition is over, there's an entertainment-oriented academy ball coming up right after. These people didn't want to drag things out any longer, so they all came out on the day the competition ended."

Li Wenyin understood.

"Just then, the most troublesome Ruiyuan appeared, and we had to deal with him first. But he was really difficult to handle, and other students rushed in at this time, no wonder it was a mess."

So, it seems the problem is that the student council is not processing the backlog of overdue payments in a timely manner.

The spineless vice president on the second floor, having cried his fill, stood up shakily and timidly asked everyone.

"Classmates... I made some butter cookies for you... I hope you like them..."

Li Wenyin: "..."

Why are you making butter cookies at a time like this?! Get to work and prioritize! Improve your efficiency! Who is he trying to drive us crazy?!

The students below immediately erupted in protest, shouting and clamoring.

-

In this chaotic farce.

Wearing an invisibility cloak, Li Wenyin secretly took Mu You upstairs to check on the situation.

They were investigating Ruiyuan's situation, hiding in a corner to secretly observe. Mu was small, and Li Wenyin tried to unfold the invisibility cloak, discovering that if she hugged him, they could both become invisible.

As soon as she went upstairs, Li Wenyin saw Nangong Zhi coming out of the interrogation room, carrying a cold and murderous aura that made him look very unapproachable.

Zhou Mixuan, who had made butter cookies to curry favor but was rejected, paced anxiously at the door.

Seeing Nangong Zhi emerge, Zhou Mixuan eagerly stepped forward: "How did it go? Did you get anything out of him?"

Nangong Zhi gave him a cold glance: "Vice President Zhou, this is a matter for your student council. I don't have the real right to interrogate you. I've tried asking, but you won't talk."

"I can give it to you!" Zhou Mixuan said, trembling.

Nangong Zhi ignored him, coldly turned aside, and walked past him.

"Don't go! I'm scared, I can't do it, I'll give you that power, you can torture me, please..."

Seeing that Nangong Zhi, the only person she could rely on, was about to leave, Zhou Mixuan burst into tears again. She threw herself at Nangong Zhi's leg and shouted loudly.

It feels very familiar.

But this time it's different.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time Nangong Zhi had encountered such a rogue. He was prepared, so he simply chanted a spell to disperse them, turned around, and strode away.

Zhou Mixuan curled up on the ground in despair, her body trembling.

Li Wenyin and Mu You were right next to them at that moment.

She held Mu You in her arms like a child, quietly watching Zhou Mixuan writhing in the shadows on the ground, not knowing what to say.

This Zhou Mixuan is still a fourth-grader.

"The president works so hard."

"Hmm," Mu hummed softly, "It's especially tough."

-

Zhou Mixuan was almost in despair, muttering to herself.

"What should I do, President? What should I do, Xuanxuan? Why aren't you here? I can't do this alone."

"I...I..."

He wandered around dejectedly, then turned into a corner and stared at the wall.

"How about I smash my head against a wall and kill myself to atone for my sins..."

The interrogation of Ruiyuan yielded no results, and the only person in charge, the vice president, cried and screamed. Other student council members investigated the injuries, comforted the students, and were busy with all sorts of miscellaneous tasks.

Li Wenyin took a different approach: "Now is the perfect time for me to fish in troubled waters."
