Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qiao Suinian with gratitude in their eyes.
They never expected that Qiao Suinian would speak up for them.
“Brother Qiao? Why are you speaking up for them? You’re going to join the Ye family in the future! It’s best to stay away from these lowly people!” Meng Xiao frowned.
He never doubted Qiao Suinian, because Qiao Suinian still needed Xiang Wenkang to introduce him to the Ye family.
In his view, Qiao Suinian had no reason to harm Xiang Wenkang; he was probably just speaking up for the people from Jinghai University because he couldn't bear to see them suffer.
"They are not lowly people! They are my classmates, Qiao Suinian!" Qiao Suinian said earnestly, his words resounding.
Many people were influenced by Qiao Suinian. The difference between Meng Xiao's attitude towards them and Qiao Suinian's attitude towards them was like night and day.
When Meng Xiao addressed them, she used the term "lowly people" repeatedly, while Qiao Suinian treated them as classmates.
"What do you mean? Are you going to join them in their evil deeds?" Meng Xiao felt that he could no longer suppress his anger. Xiang Wenkang's death made his anger surge.
"No! Brother Meng, I just don't want you to wrong my classmates!" At this moment, Qiao Suinian seemed to shine in everyone's eyes.
"Qiao Suinian!" Meng Xiao roared. "Don't forget, you haven't joined the Ye family yet. If you side with them, it's equivalent to going against the Ye family!"
Qiao Suinian gave a bitter smile, a look of disappointment on her face.
"If the Ye family is like this, then I'd rather not join! So many people are killed because of baseless speculation. I would feel guilty joining such a family."
As soon as Qiao Suinian finished speaking, the auditorium erupted in an uproar.
Many people looked at Qiao Suinian differently. For their sake, Qiao Suinian actually chose to give up the opportunity to join the Ye family and break ties with them.
They put themselves in Qiao Suinian's shoes and wondered if they could have made such a righteous and awe-inspiring move.
After just a moment's thought, many people lowered their heads in shame.
Because they simply didn't have the courage to turn against the Ye family, the "Leaf Over the Sky" was like a dark cloud obscuring the sky above Jinghai City.
After the apocalypse, this dark cloud undoubtedly grew even thicker.
"Fine! Very well!" Meng Xiao's anger erupted completely as she glared at Qiao Suinian. "Since you just uttered such blasphemous words, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"I will show you that the Ye family is the sky above you! The words of the Ye family are the will of Heaven!"
Seeing that Meng Xiao wanted to fight him, Qiao Suinian's expression changed, and he immediately summoned a skeleton warrior to block in front of him.
"Lu Jiu, you stop that skeleton soldier! Qian Xiangyu, necromancers are most afraid of close combat. Fight him hand-to-hand and don't give him a chance to cast necromancy!"
Meng Xiao, as expected of the Ye family's elite, devised a battle strategy in just a few words.
The mage class is most afraid of close-quarters combat. He needs to take down Qiao Suinian quickly. Once he takes down Qiao Suinian, everyone else will be nothing more than lambs to the slaughter in Meng Xiao's eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as she saw the two of them approaching, Qiao Suinian began to retreat rapidly, which further confirmed Meng Xiao's guess.
This guy is afraid of being approached!
A glint of light flashed in Meng Xiao's eyes, and then his forward momentum became even more ferocious.
He and Qian Xiangyu worked together seamlessly, forming a pincer movement against Qiao Suinian from the left and right.
"All three are level 3, two are rare-level professions, and one is a high-level profession; all of them are warriors."
A glint flashed in Qiao Suinian's eyes. Don't underestimate Meng Xiao and the others just because they are only level 3. They are all mercenaries, and their combat power is much higher than that of ordinary people.
The combat effectiveness after a successful job change is also related to one's physical attributes. It's like giving a knife to a security guard downstairs versus giving a knife to a special forces soldier; the lethality they can demonstrate is completely different.
Fortunately, he had secretly dealt with Xiang Wenkang beforehand; otherwise, Qiao Suinian wouldn't have been confident in facing four opponents alone.
Qiao Suinian raised his hand again, releasing the life force of the undead creature. A Frost Raider rose up and charged towards Meng Xiao; it was the same one he had killed earlier.
"There are undead creatures too?!"
Meng Xiao gave a wink, and Qian Xiangyu immediately understood, heading towards the Frost Raider to give Meng Xiao a chance to get close.
In the next instant, Meng Xiao had successfully rushed in front of Qiao Suinian, forcing Qiao Suinian into a corner of the auditorium.
At this point, Qiao Suinian had nowhere to run.
"Without the undead creatures, let's see what tricks you have up your sleeve! Going against the Ye family is simply courting death!"
Meng Xiao grinned and pulled out a military baton. He didn't intend to kill Qiao Suinian directly, but rather to break Qiao Suinian's limbs first, and then torture him properly, so that others would know the consequences of offending the Ye family!
With a whooshing sound, Meng Xiao slammed his stick down on Qiao Suinian's shoulder.
However, Meng Xiao's smile immediately froze on her face.
Because Qiao Suinian in front of him actually raised his hand and caught his full-force blow with his bare hands!
How is this possible? Aren't mages the most physically weak class? A mage caught a warrior's staff with his bare hands. Is this really plausible?
Meng Xiao's eyes were filled with shock.
"Dude, who told you mages can't fight in melee combat?"
Qiao Suinian smiled. The reason he hadn't made a move himself from the beginning was to wait for this moment. He twirled the dagger in his hand in a beautiful arc and went straight for Meng Xiao's throat.
