Chapter 845: The Great Demon King Xu Que Has Returned!

A sudden cold laugh rang out like a clap of thunder, instantly stunning the many students in the building.

Everyone's gaze shot toward the entrance, and they all froze in disbelief.

That familiar face, with its distinct features, remained as handsome and dashing as ever; it had lost a bit of its youthful greenness and gained a touch of maturity, yet still retained a hint of the recklessness from those years past.

Xu Que, he really wasn't dead!

He had returned!

All the classmates from their university days were deeply moved.

Especially Ceng Darong, Su Xiaoliang, and the third among them, whose hearts shook with profound disbelief.

They had originally guessed whether Lin Yuxi might be lying to them, but at this moment, they believed completely: Xu Que truly was not dead!

However, a question arose: this lad looked perfectly normal, clean and tidy, even more distinguished than before; where was the sign of a mental patient?

"Ah!"

At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao, having finally recovered her senses, suddenly let out a shriek.

She stared at Xu Que in sheer terror as if seeing a ghost, clutching Xia Yunhai's arm tightly while retreating repeatedly.

"Li Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" Xia Yunhai immediately frowned, looking at Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao's reaction was far too exaggerated.

Xia Yunhai had entered the school in the second year after Xu Que's death and knew nothing of Xu Que's affairs, but everyone present, including Li Xiaoxiao, knew about that car accident.

It was just that Lin Yuxi had already informed everyone beforehand that Xu Que had not died, so upon seeing Xu Que with their own eyes, apart from shock, they felt nothing else unusual.

Thus, they also understood why Li Xiaoxiao reacted so strongly; having arrived a step late and unaware of the situation, she was instantly terrified upon seeing Xu Que.

But what no one knew was that Li Xiaoxiao was so terrified because she was certain Xu Que was dead.

During that car accident years ago, she had witnessed the scene with her own eyes; she had even watched the vehicle strike Xu Que, sending him flying, then roll back and forth over him several times to ensure he was thoroughly dead before departing.

Li Xiaoxiao had also seen the driver's face clearly, but upon learning he was someone from the Xia Family, she wisely kept this secret hidden in her heart, never mentioning it to anyone, not even revealing half a word to her current boyfriend, Xia Yunhai.

Because she had come into contact with the Xia Family, she understood the methods of the Xia Family's Eldest Young Master, Xia Luoqing; once she carelessly revealed this secret, she feared she would not live to see the sun rise the next day.

So after so many years, that secret had nearly been forgotten by her.

Yet she never expected that Xu Que, who had been undeniably dead back then, would now stand alive and well before her, completely unharmed, with no broken arms or legs, looking nothing like someone who had survived a car crash.

"Gh-ghost, a ghost..." Li Xiaoxiao pointed at Xu Que, trembling all over with fear, clutching Xia Yunhai's arm tightly as she spoke with a quivering voice.

"What ghost? What are you talking about?" Xia Yunhai frowned, his gaze also sweeping toward Xu Que.

The corners of Xu Que's mouth lifted, his eyes staring straight at Li Xiaoxiao as he smiled coldly: "It seems you know a thing or two, classmate Li Xiaoxiao!"

"I... I don't know, I know nothing!" Li Xiaoxiao's face turned pale as she kept retreating, her expression filled with dread.

"If you don't know, then forget it; I never intended to ask you anyway!" Xu Que smiled and shifted his gaze away.

Regardless of what Li Xiaoxiao knew, he did not care.

In any case, he had already confirmed that the person who plotted the car accident to kill him was Xia Luoqing, and that was enough!

"Who do you think you are? You've scared my girlfriend; I'll give you three seconds to apologize immediately!" At this moment, Xia Yunhai looked at Xu Que and spoke in a cold tone.

Xu Que directly ignored Xia Yunhai, turning instead to Ceng Darong and the other two with a beaming smile: "Brothers, I'm back! How about it, aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised? Isn't this unexpected? Let me ask you, is it awesome or not?"

"Holy crap!"

Ceng Darong and the other two shouted out simultaneously!

There was no mistake; it was Xu Que, this was the real Xu Que.

Looking at that arrogant demeanor and hearing that cheeky tone, who else could it be but Xu Que?

"Damn it, you kid, you faked your death?"

"Grass, disappearing for over six years, you bastard won't be sleeping tonight!"

"We must drink you to death!"

The three immediately rushed forward; one hooked an arm around Xu Que's neck, another grabbed his hand, and the third lifted him straight up into the air.

At this moment, the hearts of the three were surging with excitement; anger, joy, and shock all merged into a single emotion—ecstatic delight!

Their brother from the past had actually not died; he had returned alive!

For them, this was a monumental cause for celebration!

On the other side, Lin Yuxi stared blankly at the four men huddled together, looking at Xu Que who seemed to have reverted to that lewd and flirtatious self of years past, his face brimming with smiles, leaving her somewhat confused.

Was he truly mad or merely pretending?

Why was he so strange and so cold when he was with me?

Why has he now become so affectionate, turning back into the familiar him from those years ago?

Could it be that he did it on purpose?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuxi felt a slight bitterness and disappointment well up in her heart!

"Hey, I'm talking to you; are you deaf? Do you know who I am?" At this moment, Xia Yunhai suddenly shouted loudly, staring coldly at Xu Que.

Xu Que couldn't even be bothered to pay him attention; if not for Ceng Darong holding his arms, he would have slapped this annoying fellow to death with a single palm strike right now!

Seeing that Xu Que still treated him like air, Xia Yunhai instantly became so angry his face turned black; pointing at Xu Que, he laughed furiously: "Good, just you wait; if I don't break one of your legs today, my surname isn't Xia!"

Having said this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Seeing this, the many classmates present quietly retreated, thinking to themselves that this fellow Xu Que was finished.

Having barely survived a great disaster six years ago, he returns today only to provoke someone from the Xia Family; I'm afraid this time he really will have a leg broken!

At this moment, Li Xiaoxiao finally recovered her senses; confirming that Xu Que was merely not dead and not a ghost coming for revenge, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She realized there was nothing frightening about Xu Que; now that she was Xia Yunhai's girlfriend and practically part of the Xia Family, why should she be so afraid?

Moreover, with Xia Yunhai now enraged, she knew it was impossible for Xu Que to leave standing today.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile coldly in her heart: "Xu Que, oh Xu Que, although Beijing University is vast, it is not vaster than the Xia Family; do you really think Xia Yunhai wouldn't dare to touch you? Just wait to die!"

"Wait!" Suddenly, Lin Yuxi called out, walking directly in front of Xia Yunhai.

Xia Yunhai still held his mobile phone, offering no reply; he merely looked at Lin Yuxi, asking with his eyes what she wanted.

Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth and said, "He doesn't know you, nor does he know your identity; moreover, he might even suffer from a mental illness. Since you are a magnanimous person, could you please let him go?"

"Mental illness?" Xia Yunhai froze for a moment, then broke into a cold smile. "Senior Sister Lin, given that my cousin once pursued you, I will certainly show you some respect, but don't treat me like a fool. This lad is so arrogant and disdainful of everyone; how does he resemble someone with a mental disorder?"

Lin Yuxi's face turned pale; she opened her mouth, about to say something.

Suddenly, Xu Que spoke up: "Who said I have a mental illness? Classmate Lin, if you want to make excuses for me, there's no need to slander me so badly."

"This..." Lin Yuxi was rendered speechless; in truth, looking at Xu Que now, she really couldn't see anything about him that resembled a mental patient.

Ceng Darong and the others, along with the rest of the students present, all felt that Xu Que seemed perfectly normal right now and indeed did not look like a mental patient!

It was just that he had made one mistake: not knowing Xia Yunhai's identity, he had offended Xia Yunhai the moment he arrived.

"Are you from the Xia Family? Your cousin once pursued Lin Yuxi; does that mean your cousin is Xia Luoqing?" At this, Xu Que looked at Xia Yunhai and asked with a faint smile.

"That's right!" Xia Yunhai immediately sneered. "Pity you found out too late. Once I make this phone call, I have no intention of letting you go!"

Oh, no intention of letting me go?

How coincidental!

Since I, the Saint of Bluffing, have come to the Capital City today, I also have no intention of letting your Xia Family go!

Xu Que immediately gave a cold smile: "I advise you to make this call home, notifying your parents, your uncles, aunts, elder uncles, grandfathers, grandmothers, and all eighteen generations of your Xia Family's ancestors, telling them all to listen well..."

As he said this, the smile on Xu Que's face vanished instantly; a surging Killing Intent swept forth, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Before the day ends, hand over Xia Luoqing to me, break his legs along with those of your lackeys, and throw them before me; otherwise, I will bathe the Xia Family in blood, leaving not one alive!"

At this moment, the Great Demon King Xu Que, who once made people tremble with fear throughout the Cultivation World, had returned!
