Chapter 196 – Beatdown (Part Three)

Hmm, thinking about it, this reason seemed most plausible.

“Junior Yunxi, is this your club?”

Ming Siye leisurely ascended the stairs. Though a smile hung on his face, the morning’s enthusiasm had vanished. He leaned calmly against the doorway, his dark eyes coolly surveying the unfinished space where even the walls remained unplastered.

“Teacher Zhao must think highly of you to grant such a large space. Do you need your senior’s help this time?”

Ming Siye’s tone was detached, his words carrying a chill.

To be honest, he had been furious when he heard the news. This little girl had taken his benefits and quietly established her own club without a word!

All three major clubs had humbly extended invitations, yet not only had she declined to join any, she had started her own. What a massive face-slap!

They had been played by a girl!

The reputation of the Big Three Clubs had been completely tarnished this time.

Following Ming Siye, Heishui Cheng and Bai Jingchen appeared at the club entrance with grim expressions. All three young men wore unpleasant looks, their gazes heavy with accusatory gloom.

Most people would have been trembling under the oppressive stares of the three club presidents, but Ye Yunxi met their gazes head-on and stated coldly: “I refused you all long ago. But if you’re still upset about wasting snack money…”

Ye Yunxi indifferently pulled out a stack of cash from her bag: “How much were the snacks? Is this stack enough? If not…”

She calmly pulled out another stack: “Then two stacks!”

Damn!

The three young men were about to explode. This was such a brutal face-slapping!

For a girl, did she have to be more manly than three genuine guys?

[Ding! Prestige +10!]

The young men exchanged glances. Upon reflection, she had indeed refused them from the beginning. All that talk about choosing a good club had been their own wishful thinking—she had never uttered such pretentious words!

“Then why didn’t you make it clear from the start that you wanted to start your own club!”

Ming Siye was somewhat angry, his expression far from pleasant.

Ye Yunxi replied calmly: “Then let me ask you one thing—if I joined your clubs, would you accept these nine people?”

She handed over the list. The three young men scanned the names, exchanged looks, and shook their heads: “Their skill levels vary, but none meet our recruitment standards.”

“Exactly.”

Ye Yunxi said calmly: “Since you wouldn’t take them, I certainly won’t abandon them. So what’s wrong with me starting my own club?”

The three exchanged glances again. Ye Yunxi’s logic was flawless, yet they still felt deeply unsettled.

“Moreover, if I had told you from the beginning, you probably wouldn’t have supported me but would have sabotaged my efforts instead. So why should I have told you?”

Ye Yunxi’s analysis struck home. The three young men coughed awkwardly and lowered their heads in silence.

Truthfully, if Ye Yunxi had stated her intentions earlier, they would absolutely have interfered. With her exceptional qualifications, going solo seemed like such a waste. Even if it required collaboration, they would have prevented Ye Yunxi from starting her club while competing to recruit her.

That was reality!

Realizing their own behavior hadn’t been entirely reasonable, the three lost their anger.

Indeed, anyone in her position would have done the same.”From today onward, we’re rivals!”

Heishui Cheng shrugged his shoulders.

“Little junior, don’t cry when our club crushes yours in the future!”
