Unconsciously, the car had been driving for a while and was about to reach the ability user academy when suddenly a large truck darted out from the side of the road, blocking the path. Lin Shiqi slammed on the brakes, and the car screeched to a halt, narrowly avoiding a collision with the unexpected truck.

"You crazy lunatics, trying to kill someone?" Lin Shiqi cursed loudly. Just then, three more large vans came from behind, stopping and blocking the road behind them.

Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi both felt something was off. This area was very close to the outskirts of the city, with sparse population. It had been half an hour without seeing a single car, so the sudden appearance of so many vehicles was clearly suspicious.

Both of them got out of the car, and at that moment, about thirty to forty people wielding metal sticks and large machetes emerged from the vans and trucks, surrounding Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi. These people were mostly young men in their twenties and thirties, with hair dyed in various colors. They had a malicious smirk on their faces as they looked at Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi.

"What do you guys want to do?" Lin Shiqi shouted loudly. The crowd parted, and a bald man with bandaged hands and patches on his face swaggered in.

Although the bald man looked battered and injured, he deliberately maintained a smile on his face, especially when he saw Lin Shiqi, his smile brightened even more.

"Lin Meimei, long time no see. Have you missed me?" This bald man was none other than Liu Shi, who had fought with Qin Yan before. After saying this, Liu Shi turned his resentful and hateful gaze towards Qin Yan.

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to commit murder? Aren't you afraid that Director Li will find out about this?" Lin Shiqi had a rough idea of the other party's intentions and tried to scare them off with words.

Upon hearing the name Li Yuanzhang, Liu Shi was taken aback. He then chuckled and said, "Lin Meimei, don't be afraid. I'm not here for you. I'm here for the spy standing next to you."

"What spy? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu Shi put on a serious face and said in a pretentious manner, "I received information that this kid named Qin Yan is a spy who infiltrated our academy from the outside. I'm here to get rid of this spy. Lin Meimei, stay away from him, or you might get hurt when things get physical."

"You're talking nonsense!" Lin Shiqi knew Liu Shi was deliberately looking for a reason to seek revenge and wouldn't fall for his tricks. "He's someone I brought here. Whether he's a spy or not, I know better than you. You better get out of our way, or I'll report this incident to Director Li and turn all of you into popsicles!"

Liu Shi's expression changed slightly. He knew about Li Ruobing's temper. After becoming the director, she was always cold and ruthless, secretly known as the Ice Witch. If caught by her, he would surely be frozen half to death and wouldn't recover for months.

Although Liu Shi was wary of Li Ruobing, he couldn't swallow his pride and let go of yesterday's grudge. He said, "Lin Meimei, don't scare me. This kid is a spy who infiltrated from outside. I helped the academy get rid of this spy. Director Li was grateful to me, how could she blame me?"

"You..." Lin Shiqi was about to argue, but Qin Yan, who had been silent, spoke up, "It's useless to argue with them. They clearly want revenge on me. Shiqi, stay away. Their target is me, so they shouldn't bother you."

"How can this be?" Lin Shiqi firmly refused, "You are someone I brought here. How can I hand you over to this jerk? If you fall into his hands, you will definitely be tortured to death."

"Idiot." Qin Yan leaned closer to Lin Shiqi and whispered in a low voice, "I won't be so easily caught by him. You being here will only hinder me from finding a way to protect you."

"Don't underestimate me. Who needs your protection?" Lin Shiqi said discontentedly, "Although they have numbers, most of them are ordinary people without any abilities. It's not that easy for them to harm me."

"Alright." Qin Yan remembered that Lin Shiqi was a Level 3 magic ability user, and indeed, ordinary people wouldn't be able to deal with her, so he didn't say more.

Seeing Lin Shiqi and Qin Yan whispering intimately, Liu Shi felt a strong sense of jealousy. He saw Lin Shiqi's face, despite being angry, still very beautiful and elegant, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with lust. He loudly declared, "Alright, for the sake of Lin Meimei's face, I'll let this kid go, as long as Lin Meimei agrees to one thing."

"What thing?" Lin Shiqi thought Liu Shi had changed his mind and temporarily suppressed her hatred towards him.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, actually." Liu Shi's face carried a licentious smile as he spoke, "I know of a very nice restaurant where the food is great. I've always wanted to go there with Lin Meimei. And there's a hotel with large and comfortable beds. I guarantee you won't want to get out of bed until morning. How about we have a meal together tonight and then have some fun at that hotel? What do you say, hahaha..."

As soon as Liu Shi finished speaking, the group of people he brought with him started whistling and cheering wildly, laughing strangely"Little beauty you from the stone brother!" "Stone brother experienced battles, rich experience, you can make you wanted to die of immortals." "Yes, little beauty you are too small, do not know the stone brother's good, you know that boy at a glance the body very empty, which can match the stone brother such a mighty man?"

At first, Lin Shiqi didn't quite understand the meaning behind Liu Shi's words, but upon hearing the lewd comments from the cheering crowd, she realized it was vulgar. Her face turned red and then pale with anger. Suddenly, she made a hand gesture, summoning a strong gust of wind that lifted a large rock from the ground and hurled it towards Liu Shi.

Lost in his fantasies of how to play with Lin Shiqi's exquisite body on the bed, Liu Shi was completely unaware of the flying rock heading towards him. The rock hit a certain indescribable area below his waist with a perfect aim, making a loud "smack" sound.

Liu Shi let out a cry of pain, covering his lower body with both hands. His facial muscles twitched, contorting his entire face. This scene stunned the surrounding crowd, with a young man who liked to flatter immediately rushing to Liu Shi's side, bending down to inspect his lower body with a concerned expression, saying, "Shi Ge, are you okay? Do you want me to massage it for you?"

"Massage your mother's ass, get the hell away from me!" Liu Shi roared, kicking the flatterer away. Embarrassed in public, he couldn't help but be furious. Pointing a trembling finger at Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi, he shouted wildly, "Beat the man hard, it's fine if he dies. Grab the woman, it's fine if she gets hurt. Just make sure they're usable. Today, I'm going all out. I must get my hands on you, you little bitch!"
