The youth heard the voices coming from the forest and an expression of fear appeared on his face. Just as he prepared to leave, he realized that he was too slow.
In a rush of footsteps, ten-some youngsters rushed into the forest and surrounded the youth.
Seeing the youth's bruised face and dust-covered clothes, one of the youngsters showed an expression of contempt and ridicule. Most of the youngsters, on the other hand, began to get excited, their eyes beginning to glow. It seemed like they were intending to beat this youth into an even worse state.
Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were also in the forest, but they remained undiscovered, screened as they were by several raspberry bushes.
When he saw the youth's miserable appearance, Chen Changsheng's complexion darkened.
When he heard the name of this youth and saw that those youngsters were wearing the academy uniform, his expression further darkened.
