"What's your name?" the blond-haired man asked me.

“Wang Xi,” I said.

"Well, you did a good job. You cleaned our dorm room pretty well. That's great. If you need anything, just mention my name. My name is Yellow Dog, and I'm the leader of our dorm," said the blond-haired guy.

"Brother Dog," I smiled at the blond-haired guy.

Seeing my politeness, the blond-haired man nodded at me with appreciation in his eyes. Then he stood up, walked up to me, looked me over, and pinched the flesh on my arm. Then, the blond-haired man looked at me and smiled. "Wang Xi, do you know what kind of school this is?"

“I know, it’s the most chaotic school in the whole provincial capital, North City No. 13 Middle School,” I said.

"Do you know how much fighting is common at our school?" Huang Gou asked me.

"I know." I nodded gently.

"Aren't you afraid of fighting?" Huang Gou asked me.

"I'm not afraid," I said.

"Haha, not bad. From now on, you're one of our dorm brothers. You arrived the latest, so we'll call you Xiao Ba. Xiao Ba, this is your second brother, a real fighter. This is your third brother, pretty sharp, our strategist. This is your fourth brother, he used to fight people outside. This is your fifth brother..." Huang Gou handed me a cigarette and then introduced me to the dorm members.

After introducing Sixth Brother, the guy on the phone said to me, "Little Eight, Seventh Brother from our dorm hasn't arrived yet. He seems to have gone to work, but he should be back tonight."

“Give him a call. Tell him to come back right away. Fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers, go downstairs to the supermarket and buy some wine. Let’s welcome our roommate, Xiao Ba,” Huang Gou said.

"Brother Dog, there's no need to be so polite. I'm already happy that you treat me like a brother, so there's no need to buy me any drinks to welcome me," I quickly said to Yellow Dog.

"Don't be so polite, it's fate that you're living in our dorm. From now on, we're brothers. Anyway, we'll get together every Sunday night, so let's all chip in," said Huang Gou.

"Brother Dog, this is mine." "Brother Dog, this is mine." Hearing what Huang Gou said, the roommates each took out ten yuan.

Taking the ten yuan they offered, Huang Gou handed it to Fourth Brother and said, "That's about right. Sixty yuan is enough for a good drink. Fourth Brother, you guys go down and buy some liquor."

Seeing their sincerity touched my heart. Before, this kind guy would casually treat me to a meal that would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan. But even if he bought me the best wine, I didn't feel anything. Now, looking at the crumpled sixty yuan in Fourth Brother's hand, I felt like crying.

Gritting my teeth, I took out my last ten-yuan note from my pocket and said, "Count me in."

"No, no, no, you're a new brother, so don't spend any money tonight. We'll all treat you, and you can pay next time." Fourth Brother smiled at me, then left with Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother.

After they left, I was moved again. I chatted with Huang Gou and the other two brothers for a while, and soon Fourth Brother and the others came back carrying a large bag.

They pulled out a stool and immediately took out more than a dozen bottles of beer and two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor) from the bag, along with snacks such as chicken feet, peanuts, and spicy strips to go with the drinks.

The yellow dog used his teeth to open a bottle of beer and handed it to me, saying, "We don't know what your family is like, but we're just ordinary people. We don't eat much, but we'll definitely have enough beer. If you consider us brothers, then don't look down on us."

"Haha, as long as there's alcohol to drink, that's good enough. If I, Wang Xi, have even the slightest dislike for you guys, then I'll get out of this dorm room right now." I laughed happily after hearing their words.

"Great job!" Seeing my generous manner, they all gave me a thumbs up.

They quickly ripped open the bag of peanuts, and then tore open the bag of spicy strips and placed it in front of me. Then someone handed me a cigarette, and our group of brothers immediately started drinking.

After four lonely days in this school, I've finally met a large group of people. There's alcohol to drink, brothers to chat with, and I downed a bottle of beer in one go. I'm starting to miss Bao Shao and Lu Zhicheng.

They were all hooligans, and they could all hold their liquor. After we finished the beer on the table and the two bottles of liquor, Huang Gou immediately put his arm around my shoulder and said, "Brother, you're pretty good. We may not have much money, but we're not short of cash either. You wait here, I'll go downstairs and buy you some more liquor, let's keep drinking."

"Brother Dog, that's enough." Seeing that the yellow dog was a bit drunk, I said to him, my breath reeking of alcohol.

"No, we have to drink well today!" With that, the yellow dog staggered toward the door.

But just as the yellow dog reached the door, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open. The young man who walked in was not tall, but his body was covered in well-developed muscles.

I was already a little tipsy, and I glanced at him with a smile. When I saw his face, I was completely stunned.

"It's you?" Upon seeing me, the bag in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter...

Chapter 172 New Members of Wang Xi's Group

"Yang Xinwei, what's wrong with you? You're so strong, how come you can't even hold something properly?" Sixth Brother took out several bottles of beer and a bottle of baijiu from a bag. After taking all the liquor out of the bag, he looked at the two broken beer bottles and felt a little sorry for them.

"Brother Wei, what's wrong with you today? You don't know our Eighth Brother, do you? Why do you have that expression when you see him?" Fifth Brother's face was red, and he was emanating a strong smell of alcohol.

They had all drunk quite a bit and were somewhat tipsy. Third Brother even secretly slipped out, and when he returned, his face was deathly pale.

They sat down at the table, which was littered with empty bottles and bits of peanuts. I didn't speak. The young man opposite me also remained silent. He just stared intently at me, his eyes filled with wariness.

And I never dreamed that I would become roommates with the young man in front of me. We've been roommates for four days now. And only today did I learn of his existence.

I can't forget his imposing figure that night, how he lightly injured Dong'er, a martial arts master of intermediate level, with a single punch. I also can't forget his astonishing talent; without a master's guidance, he could already rival martial arts experts.

This is a genius. This is the helper I've always dreamed of.

He has a name that I can never forget: Runtu.

"Yang Xinwei, so your name is Yang Xinwei." I smiled and watched him light a cigarette.

"You still won't let me go. Is that right?" Runtu asked me.

“Yes, I won’t let you get away with this. I never dreamed I’d see you here,” I said.

There were already many brothers around, and they were completely confused by my conversation with Runtu. If I'm not mistaken, they didn't know Runtu's identity. If they did know, I think they wouldn't have treated him this way. They would never have imagined that the young man in front of me was Runtu, the most capable and top-notch henchman under Baiyi Bingxin, who could sweep through thirteen schools in the southern part of the city.

In our dorm room, our so-called leader, Huang Gou, and the other roommates were just ordinary slackers. In terms of status, they were far inferior to Runtu, the strongest among the thirteen schools in Nancheng. Huang Gou looked at us with surprise, thought for a moment, and then cursed at the two of us, "What the hell are you two doing there? Hurry up and drink. We broke two bottles, so let's split the rest."

"Okay!" Looking at each other, Runtu and I picked up a bottle of beer at the same time.

"Brother Dog, I can't take it anymore, I feel like throwing up, I'm not drinking anymore..." Fourth Brother's eyes were a little glazed over, and he fell asleep on the bed next to him.

"Brother Dog, I'm a bit too drunk to drink anymore. I'm going to call my girlfriend." It was Fifth Brother, the guy I'd met before who was always on the phone. He swayed and burped, then climbed onto the top bunk to make the call.

Seeing that two of his brothers couldn't drink anymore, Huang Gou lit a cigarette and said, "That's perfect. We still have six bottles of beer and one bottle of liquor. They can't drink anymore, so the six of us can drink!"

"Okay." Runtu and I looked at each other, then picked up our beers and drank them down in one gulp.

"Damn, are we going to go down together right off the bat?" Huang Gou and the other brothers stared in astonishment at me and Runtu. After thinking for a moment, they gritted their teeth, picked up their beers, and downed the entire beer in one gulp.

After we finished the last bottle of baijiu, the brothers were all exhausted. Huang Gou put his arm around my shoulder and talked to me for a long time, then slumped to the ground and fell asleep.

Runtu's gaze remained wary as he looked at me. I didn't say anything, just smiled at him and walked out.

As soon as I stepped out of the dormitory, Runtu opened the door and followed me out. I still didn't say anything and walked straight out of the dormitory building. Runtu followed me closely, all the way to the garden behind the school's teaching building.

The night was dark. The streetlights in the back garden of the teaching building cast a dim glow. At this moment, Runtu's face became indistinct. In the dim light of the streetlights, I could only see the shadow beneath his face.

“Wang Xi, I know your identity. He is your father, and you are his son. If you wanted to kill me, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. But I didn’t know your identity before. Why won’t you let me go? Is your heart so narrow as the heir of a powerful family?” Runtu spoke, his voice filled with grief and indignation.

"Hehe, so you've come here. Runtu, I've been looking for you for so long..." I laughed after hearing Runtu's words.

“Young Master, please spare me. If I have offended you in any way, I apologize. I am no match for you, a poor boy like me. I accept my fate. My grandmother is ill, and all I want is to take good care of her…” Runtu said to me.

"Oh, so you're this afraid of me? Then why weren't you this scared when you hit me?" I asked him with a smile.

"I don't know who you are!" Runtu clenched his fist.

"And then?" I asked.

“I apologize to you!” Runtu said to me.

"And then?" I laughed.

"And then..." After hearing my words, Runtu seemed somewhat confused. After pondering for a long time, Runtu suddenly said to me in a low voice, "Wang Xi, you still won't let me go?"

“I told you, you hurt me. You not only hurt me, but you also hurt my girl. Now that I see you, do you think I’ll let you go?” I asked him with a smile.

"Then I'll fight you to the death!" With a loud shout, Runtu suddenly charged at me.

I only felt a gust of wind, but I could already sense Runtu's immense power. Inwardly praising his skill, I quickly used my movement technique to dodge his attack.

Back then, when I first met Runtu, I wasn't yet a martial arts master. But now, after a winter break of training, I've officially stepped into the realm of a martial arts master.

Ever since I was struck three times by Ye Shuang at the Yehenara family's house, my martial arts seem to have improved after my injuries healed. Now I'm like a bucket full of water, the water constantly overflowing. I only need one more opportunity to break through my current level and officially enter the ranks of intermediate-level martial arts masters.

I dodged three of Runtu's moves in succession. Runtu looked at me with some surprise, "It's only been two months, and you've become so strong?"

“I’ve always been strong,” I said.

"Heh, you're so arrogant. Just because you're the heir of a powerful family, you think you can bully an ordinary person like me like this?" Runtu was furious and punched me with all his might.

When his fist came hurtling towards me, I was immediately taken aback. His fist was incredibly fast, carrying the force of over a thousand pounds. Although he didn't know martial arts, his basic skills were already comparable to a mid-level martial arts master. Unable to dodge his punch using any movement techniques, I immediately tensed all my muscles and roared, "Thirteen Bodyguards of Horizontal Strength!"

With a single punch, his fist struck my chest hard. At that moment, a tremendous force pushed me backward, as if a powerful force was about to pierce through my body.

I tensed all my muscles to protect my body. After that terrifying force pushed me back a dozen steps, I immediately dissipated it and it vanished into thin air.

"You don't know any martial arts. Your strength has already reached the upper-middle level of a martial arts master. That's right, you're the person I've been looking for." I stopped, sweat dripping down my forehead. But my heart was filled with immense excitement.

"Wang Xi, I'll fight you to the death!" Thinking I was going to harm him, Runtu, panting heavily, grew even angrier. He transformed into a figure and charged at me, his fists raining down on me like a storm.

After examination, I have determined that his strength is at the upper-class level of martial arts masters. And such a genius is probably someone you couldn't find in an entire province who could surpass him.

The school's leader, Black Dragon, is decent, but still far inferior to him. Black Dragon has practiced martial arts, while he hasn't.

Overjoyed, I kept dodging his attacks. After his previous punch had unleashed a tremendous force, he could no longer generate that kind of power.

This is his limit.

However, his strength remained formidable. If he continued his attacks, I feared I would be severely injured. Drawing my jade flute, I swiftly parried several of his punches and kicks. Then, in a flash, I leaped into the pavilion and placed the jade flute to my lips. With my lips touching the flute, my fingers moved rapidly. Simultaneously, a beautiful flute melody emanated from it. As I played the flute faster and faster, a rustling sound gradually filled the air around us.

Suddenly, a flower snake as thick as a thumb darted out of the grass and coiled itself around Runtu's arm.

"What is this?!" In surprise, Runtu reached out to pull off the flower snake.

"Don't move, this snake is poisonous. If you move even slightly, it will bite you," I said.

"What!?" Runtu was shocked when he heard my words.

Then, Runtu saw more small snakes crawling out from all around him. The snakes surrounded him and raised their bodies, hissing at him strangely. Their red tongues flicked out of their mouths, looking quite eerie in the darkness.

"Wang Xi, you actually know how to use sorcery?" Feeling the coolness of the flower snake on his arm, Runtu's face turned pale. Looking at the swarm of snakes surrounding him, Runtu's eyes gradually turned to despair.

"Runtu, do you know why I'm looking for you?" I asked.

“Because I hurt you, you want to take revenge on me,” Runtu said.

Hearing Runtu's words, I smiled. With a gentle flick of my jade flute, the flower snake on Runtu's arm fell to the ground. After landing, it obediently glanced at me before crawling into the nearby bushes. The snakes surrounding Runtu also appeared very docile, their bodies twisting and turning as they followed the flower snake into the surrounding bushes.

Smiling, I sat in the pavilion, crossed my legs, and lit a cigarette. Then, looking at Runtu with sincere eyes, I said, "If I wanted revenge, with the power of my Wang family and the Ye family, I probably would have found you long ago. But I don't want revenge. I'm just an ordinary person like you now."

"What!?" Runtu frowned.

I don't know why, but looking at Runtu in front of me, I felt a deep sense of familiarity. With a sigh, I told Runtu everything that had happened recently.

After I finished telling Runtu, I sighed and said to him, "Runtu, you've misunderstood me. I'm not a bad person, nor am I a petty person. I'm just an ordinary person, an ordinary person just like you. I've been looking for you, not to get revenge on you, but because I need you and want you to be my brother."

"Hmm." After hearing what I said, Runtu frowned and nodded slightly.

“Runtu, I need you. Come with me. I promise I won’t treat you like Baiyi Bingxin did. I will treat you like family.” I said to Runtu earnestly.
