The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 297 In the Name of Youth (18)

"What a bunch of idiots." Qian Xiaoyi thought silently as he watched the live broadcast on his phone.

To an adult like him, this was just a farce between children. Both the schemes and the purpose were childish. If he were in that situation, he would either not care at all or just wait for the opponent to reveal a flaw and then deliver a fatal blow. He would never be stupid enough to stand up now and give others a chance to attack him.

But he knew... unlike the adults in society who only care about profit, in the world of these teenagers, some things are more important than immediate interests.

Such as self-esteem, friendship, and truth.

These things, which are no longer important and even discarded in the adult world, are irreplaceable treasures in the eyes of these teenagers.

Because they cannot remain silent, they cannot ignore when their friends are suffering, so they stand up, even if it means they will be implicated and even if it does not bring them the greatest benefit.

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head, put away his phone, and murmured, "Forget it, I've finished my work for today anyway, so I'll go over there and take a look. I hope I can make it in time."

He put on a helmet, got on his motorcycle and headed towards the school.

At this time, on the playground of Tanigaoka Middle School, everyone in the Psychic Club was almost attacked by a mob. The number of Sakurai Aoi's supporters far exceeded theirs. For a moment, strange eyes were cast on them, and all kinds of gossip continued to sound, harassing their nerves.

"If Yui really thinks this way, then I'm sorry." Sakurai Aoi still looked pitiful and said, "Maybe I did something wrong and made her angry. It's all my fault."

"That's enough." Kawasaki said, "We've seen enough of your pretense. Stop talking and let's go."

He took the others away and returned to his seat. He watched coldly as Sakurai Aoi was surrounded by the crowd and comforted. Even Suzuna had "rebelled". He helped her sit down considerately, comforted her kindly, hugged her, and helped her straighten her collar, just like a close sister.

"I'm sorry for getting everyone into trouble." Kawasaki sighed, "It's all because of my hot head. I couldn't stand that guy talking nonsense there."

"It doesn't matter. I've wanted to do this for a long time." Ono Haruna said angrily, "We must not let her use Yui like this."

"And what Brother O said is right. After doing this, it seems that... nothing happened." Inuyama Heita noticed the unfriendly looks around him and said frankly: "In fact, I feel more relaxed. Anyway, we are not popular people normally."

"Yes, yes."

"It doesn't matter."

After hearing his companions' thoughts, Kawasaki felt much relieved.

Despite this disturbance, the selection activity still had to continue. After about twenty minutes, another ten contestants with the lowest votes were eliminated. The activity entered the next stage. Sakurai Aoi, who was temporarily ranked first, was about to perform on stage again.

When she came on stage, there was a lot of applause and cheers from the audience.

"Come on, Sakurai-san! Don't mind some people's slander!"

"Yes, that's just the howling of a defeated dog."

"We will always support you."

Sakurai Aoi was very "moved" and said to the audience with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for your support. I believe this is just a misunderstanding between Yui and me. She and I are very good friends and we would never..."

"Stop lying!" The voice came before the person appeared. In the aisle in the middle of the seats, a slightly fat figure appeared there.

Yui Maeda had messy hair and was supporting her knees, breathing heavily. This time she rode her bicycle and rushed to school from home as fast as she could. She swore that she had never worked so hard before.

"Yui?" Everyone in the Psychic Department also saw her and stood up.

Komaeda Yui nodded at them, then strode towards the stage with an imposing manner.

"Yui, you're here? Are you okay?" asked Sakurai Aoi.

Komaeda Yui grabbed the microphone from the host and said, "I'm fine. Also, stop pretending, Sakurai Aoi."

"Yui, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us..." Sakurai Aoi always sticks to her character setting.

Komaeda Yui said: "There is no misunderstanding. I came here to clarify one thing, that is, everything Minister Kawasaki said is true!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Yui Maeda told everything at once.

Not everyone in the school is a die-hard supporter of Sakurai Aoi. Many people just admire Sakurai Aoi, but that doesn't mean they are close to Sakurai Aoi. So Yui Maeda's words did arouse suspicion among some people, causing a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Yui... I... What did I do wrong?" Sakurai Aoi said with tears in her eyes, "I actually made you hate me so much that you even made up such a thing. It's too much."

She tore off her bloated skirt and ran off the stage quickly, looking extremely sad. At this moment, a blurry white shadow followed her and then disappeared in an instant.

"Eh? That's..." Inuyama Heita widened his eyes, as if he was the only one who saw it.

Outside the crowd, Qian Xiaoyi, carrying his bag, stuffed the fox statue back into his bag and said to himself, "I'm leaving it to you, Mr. Fox, Dog and Raccoon."

"Something has changed!" Suzuna said excitedly to the camera, "It seems that our Sakurai classmate left the stage because he was sad! There was chaos at the scene, and the selection activities were temporarily stopped! Let's go and take a look!"

As Sakurai Aoi ran away, many of her supporters and people who were worried about her followed her. Xiao Maeda Yui said, "Minister, that guy might be plotting something again. Let's go over and take a look."

"go!"

No one expected that Sakurai Aoi actually ran to an empty classroom on the top floor of the school. She sat on the window and excitedly shouted to the people outside: "Don't come over here, or I'll jump down!"

"Sakurai-san, don't get excited."

"Don't mind the slander of that ugly woman!"

"Sakurai, listen to the teacher and come down quickly!"

This caused a big commotion. There were crowds of people both downstairs and outside the classroom. Some people downstairs were even holding bed sheets, ready to pick up the person.

"I didn't do those things, no!" Sakurai Aoi cried.

"I know, anyway, come down first..."

Although Sakurai Aoi looked like she was crying, she was actually laughing inside. She was looking forward to what that fat pig would do.

"Let Yui come over, I want to talk to her!"
