C40 (1/2)

Ma Xiang's baseball team and Xiao Tian's basketball team were both part of a larger society. Originally, these two groups of people had gathered together to annihilate Ye Qian. Who would have thought that Ye Qian's two simple sentences would cause an internal strife. Niu Tao and Lin Zhibai were the ones who bore the brunt of the conflict. They were vying for the leadership of their own family society, with their faces flushed red to the point where they were ready to fight.

”A big, tall, and tough baseball bat, just who is stronger? It's really worth a try!” Ye Xian smiled, looking interested. After all, biting off more than one could chew was a good show, and anyone would be willing to watch it. Ye Qian was no exception.

Just as the two sides were about to engage in battle, a shout came from the crowd, ”Niu Tao, come back here!”

The one who gave the order was none other than the captain of the baseball team, Ma Xiang. Although Ma Xiang had a horse like face and looked average, his IQ was much higher than Xiao Tian's. He was a man of his word, though just now he had been smug at the boasting of his own team. However, seeing the situation, he was the first one to wake up. He immediately understood that Ye Qian's seemingly unintentional question was actually provoking his relationship with the basketball team.

If he understood this point, how could Ma Xiang be fooled?

But even if he couldn't understand Ye Qian's thoughts, he couldn't allow his baseball team to clash head-on with Xiao Tian's basketball team. Think about it, even Ye Qian who didn't know the depth was unwilling to fight him to the death, let alone the school's big organization that was part of the basketball team.

There were thirty to forty people on both sides, and once they started shooting each other, they would have to face each other head on. At the end of the conflict, everyone would have a hard time. Ma Xiang would never do such a thankless task. Ma Xiang's personality met the standards of a merchant, so he wouldn't suffer any loss if he ate anything.

Hearing Ma Xiang's scolding, Niu Tao was indignant, and said: ”Leader, they were the ones who picked this first, could it be that our baseball team is afraid of them?”

”Yeah, Captain, fuck him!”

Ma Xiang glared at the team member that he was eager to try, then coldly looked at Ye Qian who was standing on the stairs, he snorted and thought: This Ye Qian is a good plan, how can he be the same as Xiao Tian and be a fool?

Ma Xiang's analysis was extremely accurate, and at the same time, his eyes spun, as though he was already starting to retreat. After all, it would not be worth it to offend someone like Ye Qian for a woman. Even if he won, teaching Ye Qian a lesson would be disgraceful. If he were to lose, it would be a huge disgrace.

On the other side, Xiao Tian restrained his emotions under Ma Xiang's scolding, but on the side of the basketball team, Xiao Tian did not really intend to take action.

In Xiao Tian's heart, it was fine to bully Ye Qian, but if they really had to fight the baseball team, with someone with a partner, he wouldn't be able to get anything good from them at all. The most important thing was to give Ye Qian the benefit of the little fool.

”Eh, why is it so quiet all of a sudden!” Qin Lan who was hiding at the side exclaimed, as if she was curious about a baby.

Seeing that, Ye Qian sneered in his heart: Has they been seen through? It seems that this group of people are not stupid!

The basketball team and the baseball team, from cooperating to erupting internal strife, to suppressing their emotions, not much time had passed. However, the entire scene suddenly became eerily quiet. At this time, no matter whether it was Ma Xiang or Xiao Tian who lost control of their emotions, it was unavoidable for them to have a fierce battle between guilds.

Fortunately, the two of them were not ordinary people. They could be considered intelligent enough to be the team captain. At this critical moment, they had chosen to stop the fight and stop it.

Even though the conflict had ended, the conflict between the two had ended. Ma Xiang could no longer lick his face and stick his head out for Xiao Tian.

Ma Xiang took a step forward and walked in front of Xiao Tian, and even addressed him differently: ”Xiao Tian, since you said it like that, then we don't have anything else to say. Since you don't want me, Ma Xiang, to become the mediator, then you can settle this matter yourself. I, Ma Xiang, and the baseball team will not interfere in this matter. As for that slut Lan Xue'er, you can keep her for yourself! ”

Xiao Tian was startled, he did not expect Ma Xiang to be so decisive, his words did not leave any leeway.

The two were both society's mogul and if Ma Xiang wanted to retreat at this time, Xiao Tian would not humble himself and beg him. He only snorted: ”Do as you wish!”

Ma Xiang laughed, and gave Ye Qian another meaningful look: ”Junior, senior, it looks like you won't be able to become a peacemaker, you'll have to walk your own path now, you better take care of yourself!”

With that, Ma Xiang waved his hand, and seemingly said casually: ”Brothers, let's retreat. We won't be able to get into this muddy water anymore!”

The members of the baseball team were still enraged, they glared at the basketball team, and under Ma Xiang's lead, they left the intersection one by one.

Seeing the baseball team leaving with their dozen people, Xiao Tian gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, ”Bastard, useless thing!”

Lin Zhibao also cursed loudly, ”Look at his horse face and he's so angry. What's so special about that? He's just a bunch of idiots. Without them, we can still take care of that little fool! ”

Ye Qian looked at Ma Xiang's departing back view, his opinion of Ma Xiang was completely different from Xiao Tian's. Especially what Ma Xiang said to him before he left, it was filled with goodwill. It was as if he were explaining that he was only here to be a peacemaker, not to cause trouble for you: smart people, really smart people, that was the law of survival for any world. It was always better to have a friend than an enemy.

More than a dozen players walked out of the camp, leaving only the basketball team behind. But it would be good if Ma Xiang and the rest left, since Ma Xiang and the baseball team did not directly join Wang Xian's team who was humiliating and beating up Zhang Hao, so Ye Qian did not want to go and take care of them together with him. Only, if Ma Xiang could not hold it in, and had to stand together with Xiao Tian, then Ye Qian would not be lenient towards them.

Inexplicably, a familiar smile rose from the corner of Ye Qian's mouth: ”Alright, that wave has left. Now, you guys are the only ones left!”
