This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 70 I am Nie Weiyang

Nie Weiyang stood up from where he was and silently brushed off the dust on his body. He kept staring at the "big brother", his eyes behind the sunglasses calm and almost harmless.

Yang Wuji from his previous life told him that this group of people had some connection with the Guiding Sect.

"This sect appeared more than a month after we arrived in the New World," Yang Wuji said in his chemical protective suit, his voice dull and hoarse. "Its predecessors were some evil cults hiding among the people. You know which ones I'm talking about... I know you've been hunting them down. I'll tell you everything—what is your spiritual attribute?"

"I have read the entire "Voice of Glory," said Nie Weiyang.

"So high?!" Yang Wuji let out the only exclamation in the entire conversation.

……

"So little?" Yang Wuji's face looked unhappy.

At this moment, he, his teacher and several people were sitting around a table. On the table was a rough rattan frame with some ingredients inside.

Opposite him, a middle-aged man wearing glasses smiled broadly and asked humbly, "Brother Yang, what's the problem?"

"You said you wanted to take Lu Ran, Luo Chen, and Lu Hanwen with you. From now on, they no longer belong to Lianhe No. 1 High School, but to you, Baohu. By the way, bring this week's compensation." Yang Wuji ignored the teacher's attempts to stop him and stared at the man opposite him. "'Big Brother,' the compensation we agreed on for our cooperation was more than this."

Although this profession category lacks combat power, two of its initial three skills are fixed as "Identification" and "Analysis". Although the release of these skills requires many skills and a very high level of proficiency, as long as the scholar has the knowledge to understand the content of identification and analysis, he or she can gradually understand some unfamiliar things around them.

At least one-third of the teachers and students present at Lianhe No. 1 High School were scholars. Before this, they had reached a cooperation with a group of people who called themselves "Bao Hu" on the opposite side. They used the abilities of scholars to identify food ingredients and resources, and the other party had to do nothing to harm them and provide them with compensation.

Yang Wuji frowned: "Not to mention that you are going to take our people away. The amount of reward is not right..."

The seemingly elegant middle-aged man just smiled, but three students around him couldn't help but smile.

"Young man? Young man, go find them yourself outside!" Lu Ran shouted, "Return your people? Are we theirs?" He turned to ask the two young men on his left and right. They both smiled and shook their heads: "--See? We are just classmates, Yang Wuji! Don't try to control our personal freedom!"

Freedom?
Is this the freedom to run away to a gang of murderers? Is this the time to talk about freedom? Don't you know that freedom is relative?!

Yang Wuji took a deep breath. His eyes shifted slightly, as if wanting to look at Li Duo, but he held back. At this moment, the teacher next to him held him down and, smiling, pushed him out.

"Ask them if the meal is ready and the tea is boiled." The young teacher smiled like a father and an elder brother. "They have honored us with their presence, so we can't just leave them sitting there doing nothing."

Yang Wuji was pushed and stumbled a few steps, running several meters away. Then his mind suddenly became clear and he felt cold all over.

——How could he speak like that to a group of desperadoes?

Although that was indeed what he wanted to say, the teachers had already told him to control himself. In the past three months, he had never lost control like this! Was it because he was jealous of Lu Ran? No, that was not the case...

Yang Wuji couldn't help but look at his 'big brother', who was also smiling at him, with a strange purple light in his eyes.

At the same time, the scholar's professional skills were activated, and he identified that he had a hidden debuff on him - [Mind Interference]!

This guy... can interfere with other people's minds?!

Yang Wuji lowered his eyes and quickly left. He entered the crowd and subconsciously moved closer to Li Duo, but his eyes remained fixed on Lu Ran, unleashing his identification and analysis skills.

He quickly came to the conclusion: that guy had also suffered mental influence, and the degree was even more serious... but he didn't have much knowledge at this level and couldn't be sure to what extent the other party had been affected.

Yang Wuji scratched his head for a moment, then quietly called Li Duo aside: "Li Duo, Lu Ran doesn't seem to be in a good condition. You said before that he was an idiot..."

Li Duo was still pinching wild onions in her hand. She exerted force with her fingers, and with the crisp sound of the onion segments breaking, she gave a fake smile and repeated the original conversation between her and Lu Ran.

——One of the great advantages of being a spellcaster is that, like a scholar, you have a very good memory.

"..." Yang Wuji immediately dismissed the thought from his mind and decisively decided not to tell Li Duo about the mental impact. —Based on his own experience, that idiot was capable of saying hurtful things; he must have had such thoughts in his own mind!

Bastard! Li Duo is so nice to him!
Yang Wuji tried his best to control himself, but it was still difficult for the young man to hide all his emotions. He turned around twice and suddenly whispered, "He's a jerk, I'm not."

He resisted the urge to say more. Li Duo looked up at him, looking like she was about to cry again, but she held it back and just nodded vigorously.

She had wanted to tell her teachers and classmates that Lu Ran had gone to the other side. But Lu Ran was always like this, and she didn't know if what he said was true. She couldn't say this in public either. There was no soundproofing in the cave, and it even echoed. If she spoke louder, many words would be heard by the people next door.

"I'm going back to pick some vegetables. Anyway, let's eat this meal first," she said. "Haven't we discussed this a long time ago? The other side won't hold back from attacking us..."

She turned, her gaze crossing the open space within the cavern to a larger settlement on the other side. Inside, several women sat vacantly, naked and distracted. Among them sat two pale, handsome young men in a similar state.

"..." She lowered her eyes, and the ends of her hair were as hot as fire for a moment, but when she thought about the fact that there were so many classmates with non-combat professions, her eyes quickly dimmed.

"If anything happens, just run, Yang Wuji," she whispered. "Just run, and leave us alone."

"What about you? What about Xiaoyu? She was left behind by Teacher Lin..."

"I'm the 'Flame Bearer,' and I fight better than you. Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu, try to take everyone with you. If you can't, then run on your own," the girl said softly. "It's better if a few can escape than if no one can. You guys run, go... find the army, find the police. They're better fighters than us, and there must be some who haven't dispersed yet..."

Yang Wuji opened his mouth for a moment, then said, "Okay."

The agreement was thus made.

Nie Weiyang shook his head slightly. He already understood what was going to happen next.

If someone else came, even if they wanted to save this group of people, they would probably have to sneak into this camp first, pretend to be friendly with "Bao Hu", become a teammate for the time being, and then slowly gain room for maneuver later...

But that's not Nie Weiyang's style.

Ten minutes later, a fully armed young man walked out of the deep forest. He wore sunglasses, carried a sword and a shield, and approached the entrance of the Baohu settlement camp.

Facing the vigilant man at the door, he nodded slightly.

"Hello," he said. "There are a group of students from Lianhe No. 1 High School here, right?"

Inside the cave, the "big brother" who heard the voice flickered for a moment before standing up and leading everyone to the cave entrance. The teacher from Lianhe High School quickly followed—for someone to suddenly come and ask for them by name at this moment was truly bizarre.

Arriving at the cave entrance, 'Big Brother' looked at the figure and his heart immediately tightened.

Where the hell did this tough guy come from?! Even though he had killed many people before, he felt that this visitor carried a terrifying aura that he couldn't imagine...

The 'big brother' was cautious and alert, taking small steps to protect the younger brother beside him.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"I'm here to look for Mr. Lin from Lianhe No. 1 High School, as well as his colleagues and students. I need to take them away, and I hope you'll be kind enough to leave them alone." The young man replied calmly, "As for who I am—

"I'm Nie Weiyang."

　After thinking of five developments, I finally decided that this one was the right one.

　　Lao Nie: Give me some dignity, or I will help you all to be decent.
