Chapter 20 Reorganization
The news of Jie defeating Sun Changlin spread like wildfire throughout the entire campus. Immediately, students were buzzing with discussion among themselves.
"It's unbelievable! Wu Jie, who is usually so timid and skinny, was able to take down the big guy Sun Changlin. It's simply unbelievable."
"You don't understand! A barking dog doesn't bite. Most of those who make a lot of noise are just trying to scare people. The truly powerful ones are often those who are quiet but can deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment. Wu Jie is clearly such a person. Such people either don't make a move, or when they do, it's ruthless."
"Wu Jie has really stirred up a hornet's nest. Who is Sun Changlin? He's the biggest bastard in this area. If he messes with him, he's likely to suffer the consequences."
"Come on, give me a break! What kind of stick is this? You chicken out when you encounter someone like him. I heard that Sun Changlin not only didn't dare to retaliate against Wu Jie, but he also shook hands with him and made peace."
"No way! This isn't like him at all! I've known Sun Changlin since elementary school. He's known for holding grudges. Given his personality, would he back down? Would he be afraid of Wu Jie? I simply don't believe it."
"Don't disbelieve me, I heard it's true. Maybe he was scared of Wu Jie! He knew Wu Jie was a tough nut to crack, so he either didn't fight back or fought like his life depended on it. I also heard that Wu Jie beat him unconscious that day, and he was unconscious for over an hour. Even the toughest person is afraid of dying."
"You're kidding me! Who is Sun Changlin? What kind of ruthless characters hasn't he seen? Why would he be afraid of Wu Jie? If he wanted revenge, he could take care of Wu Jie in a minute. Where did you hear this nonsense from? It's getting more and more outrageous. Be careful that it doesn't reach Sun Changlin's ears and cause him trouble."
"Everyone says so, so why are they picking on me? Tch!" Although these people were still putting on a tough front, they were already starting to get nervous and deliberately changed the subject, no longer talking about Sun Changlin.
These words quickly reached Sun Changlin's ears. Far from being angry, he laughed and said, "What do they know? Although I, Sun Changlin, am invincible and fearless, I am also a human being with thoughts and respects. My reconciliation with Wu Jie doesn't mean I, Sun Changlin, have backed down. It's called mutual respect between heroes! There's no question of who's afraid of whom. Wu Jie may look thin, but he has backbone and isn't a coward. What I despise most are spineless cowards who cower at the first sign of strength. Even if such people submit to me, I despise them to the core."
After hearing what Sun Changlin said, everyone stopped making wild guesses and gossiping in private.
Because of Sun Changlin and Jie's reconciliation, Zhang Qiaoyun and Jie's relationship gradually became closer. They met often and always chatted and laughed. Under Zhang Qiaoyun's influence and encouragement, Jie became more confident and was no longer as timid and hesitant as before; a manly spirit began to emerge in him.
In fact, reconciling with Sun Changlin was a deep-seated wish of Hong Liguo and his group. After all, in terms of strength, they were indeed no match for Sun Changlin's gang; moreover, Hong Liguo and his group did not initially provoke these "Four Evils." In their view, if it weren't for Wang Laoba and Liu Laohai's instigation, the conflict between them might never have occurred.
However, upon closer reflection, even without Wang Laoba and his group's instigation, this conflict might have been unavoidable—because Sun Changlin had already declared his intention to subdue all the top students among the first-year junior high students and become their idol. Wang Laoba and his group's provocation merely brought forward Sun Changlin's challenge to Hong Liguo and his group.
One day, on the way home from school, Jie stopped Hong Liguo and a few others, and said to them with a slightly serious expression, "Fa Zi, Xiao Guo, I have a few words I want to say to you."
Seeing his serious expression, Hong Liguo knew that what he was about to say must be important. "What is it? Tell me!"
"Sun Changlin, Sun Changlin intends to merge with us and form a new team. He said that with the 'Four Heroes' and 'Six Swordsmen' joining forces, there would be no rivals left in the first year of junior high."
No sooner had Jie finished speaking than Brother Jun immediately jumped in to object: "Merge? How? Who'll be the boss? There's absolutely no way I'll listen to him!"
In fact, Hong Liguo did not approve of merging with Sun Changlin and his group. Compared with Sun Changlin's group, Hong Liguo's group was more friendly and did not have such great ambitions. They always adhered to the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me, and if they offend me, I will retaliate", and never took the initiative to attack other teams.
Fa Zi continued, "We're not on the same side as Sun Changlin and his gang at all. I don't care who's the leader, but I think they're being too flamboyant. If they continue like this, something big will happen sooner or later. We're still students, after all, and we should focus on our studies."
Hongbo scoffed at Fa Zi's words, giving him a disdainful look: "Hmph, coward! spineless!"
Upon hearing this, Fa Zi flew into a rage and immediately retorted to Hong Bo; Hong Bo was not to be outdone, and the two began arguing back and forth.
Seeing the situation turning sour, Hong Liguo quickly stepped forward to dissuade them: "That's enough, that's enough, stop arguing! We haven't even been merged yet, and we're already fighting amongst ourselves. To be honest, after what happened that day, I've thought it over carefully. This kind of life can't last. Fa Zi is right, we're students, studying is our top priority. Especially someone like Sun Changlin, who's too reckless and easily gets into trouble."
Hong Liguo turned to Jie and said earnestly, "Tomorrow, tell Sun Changlin that we appreciate his good intentions. We don't want to stand out, nor do we have any ambition to dominate. If he really unifies the country... we can acknowledge his... status, but we will maintain our independence and will not take orders from him."
Later, relying on his bravery, Sun Changlin quickly unified the first year of junior high school... He reorganized his team: the original "Four Heroes," plus Zhou Liang, Ma Yuanzhi, Wang Fugui, Liu Zhonghai, Wu Jie, and the recently conquered bully Zhu Zhixin, made a total of nine boys and one girl. In the woods outside the school, imitating the ancients who used incense sticks, they swore an oath of brotherhood, naming themselves "Nine Dragons and One Phoenix."
However, Sun Changlin's actions quickly provoked strong dissatisfaction among the eighth graders. The atmosphere on campus became tense again, and an even larger campus rivalry was about to unfold.
