Sowing Discord Works Like a Charm, the Squad Leader Who's Been Manipulated Too Much

Zhao Bin: "???"

Gou Feng: "???"

Both of them turned their eyes toward their class monitor, Shi Yanhai.

What internal tickets?

Shi Yanhai had told them earlier that the selection for this film screening event, just like before, was decided internally by their advisor.

Even the class committee didn’t have the authority to distribute tickets—the advisor handpicked students who were more outgoing or had a good rapport with them.

So what did Lin Yu mean by this?

[Ding!]

[Bloodthirsty Strike: The seeds of internal division have been sown, unsettling the leader of the Blazing Sea Demons!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]

Lin Yu’s heart stirred.

Just as he suspected.

The names Chi Qingshui had mentioned earlier—Hu, Zhang, Li, Wu, Lv Rou, and Shi Yanhai himself—

None of Shi Yanhai’s roommates were on the list.

While reviewing his classmates’ information at home, Lin Yu had noticed something odd.

Apart from Hu,

all the others were female students.

If his girlfriend hadn’t asked him to go but had instead taken her younger sister, Chi Qingchi, along…

The scene would have been—

Shi Yanhai’s perfect stage to show off.

Once again, the leader of the Blazing Sea Demons had lost to the Outer Path Demon.

Such impure love!

Chasing after one while keeping an eye on another.

"How… how did you hear about the film screening?"

"Does this… have something to do with you too?"

Chi Qingshui, standing nearby, explained without hesitation:

"Qingchi has a club event on Friday and can’t attend."

"So I gave the ticket to Lin Yu. It’s an unnamed internal pass anyway."

"He should be part of the discussion about the screening details."

This wasn’t a secret.

Even if she didn’t say it now,

Shi Yanhai would find out at the event on Friday.

Better for Chi Qingshui to say it herself—

At least it made her seem upfront… right?

[Ding!]

[Furious Blow: A timely assist from his Dao Companion destabilizes the leader of the Blazing Sea Demons, dealing a critical blow to his standing within the group!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]

Shi Yanhai’s suffering was inevitable.

What Lin Yu cared more about was Chi Qingchi’s reaction.

He had been wondering—

Did Qingchi even know she had a club event on Friday?

Now,

seeing Chi Qingchi sitting quietly without any change in expression,

it seemed his girlfriend had been telling the truth.

She hadn’t gone so far as to ditch her sister just to create an opportunity to be with Lin Yu.

From here on,

he could just sit back and watch the demons tear each other apart.

Gou Feng turned to Chi Qingshui and pressed:

"President, so… the advisor didn’t assign anyone specifically for the movie tickets this time?"

Chi Qingshui shook her head honestly:

"No. For events like this, the advisor doesn’t handpick attendees."

Zhao Bin and Gou Feng both turned to Shi Yanhai: "..."

Their eyes said it all.

This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.

To them, it was "brothers before anything else."

But this bastard had the nerve to exclude his own brothers when good opportunities came up?

And here they were, ready to mock Lin Yu to help "Brother Hai" vent his frustration.

Turns out, in Hai’s eyes, they meant nothing.

Shi Yanhai was panicking hard.

Damn it!

The mess in the front yard was still unresolved,

and now Lin Yu had set the backyard on fire!

Taking a deep breath, Shi Yanhai forced himself to stay calm.

He scrambled to salvage the situation:

"Qingshui is part of the college student council, not the class committee."

"Our class actually gets a lot of… unofficial perks."

"Sometimes, the advisor assigns things to me without everyone knowing."

"Ahem, you all get it—it’s awkward to spell it out…"

As soon as he finished, his face burned with embarrassment.

In such a short time,

he couldn’t come up with a better excuse.

If he didn’t explain, his buddies would absolutely despise him.

Chi Qingchi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up with a playful glint in her eyes:

"Sooo, who did the monitor give the tickets to?"

Perfectly timed.

Straight to the point, devastatingly effective.

Chi Qingchi had struck like a silent assassin.

Lin Yu seized the moment and casually added:

"The monitor’s right. The advisor does seem to favor the girls."

"Almost all the picks were female. I remember one was in Zhao Bin’s filming group—Wu Chuntian!"

Zhao Bin stared at Shi Yanhai in shock: "???"

Gou Feng was equally stunned: "???"

Shi Yanhai: "!!!"

In four years of college, which guy didn’t have a "dream girl"?

And guess what?

Wu Chuntian was Zhao Bin’s dream girl!

While reviewing his classmates’ info, Lin Yu had come across Wu Chuntian’s photos and social media posts.

It reminded him of that infamous graduation dinner—

Zhao Bin, drunk out of his mind, had publicly confessed to her, only to be brutally rejected.

He even tried dragging her outside for a "private talk,"

but her dorm sisters tore into him mercilessly.

If not for that "legendary" class incident,

Lin Yu wouldn’t have had such a perfect opportunity now.

Shi Yanhai was truly fucking unlucky!

He wanted to explain, but the words just wouldn’t come out.

Back when he’d first heard about the film screening event, Lv Rou—nicknamed "Swaying Sister"—had pestered him relentlessly for tickets.

Not just for herself, but also for her bestie Wu Chuntian.

Based on past experience,

this was the kind of thing Shi Yanhai could easily arrange behind the scenes without anyone noticing.

Who would’ve thought

Lin Yu would seize this as leverage and cause such a mess!

The looks in Zhao Bin and Gou Feng’s eyes made it clear they didn’t buy his excuse about "the instructor’s arrangement" at all.

But the words were already out.

How could Shi Yanhai backtrack now?

Damn it!

Was Lin Yu doing this on purpose?

Was he really this sneaky?

How the hell had he never noticed before?!

[Ding!]

[Critical Strike: The brutal truth is exposed, forcing two members of the Blazing Demons to quit!]

[Reward: 100 Spirit Stones, 100 Spirit Stones]

[Ding!]

[Finishing Blow: The relentless assault leaves the leader of the Blazing Demons with nothing but a flicker of soul remaining!]

[Reward: 50 Spirit Stones]

The atmosphere was beyond awkward.

Shi Yanhai was in no mood to discuss the film screening anymore.

Every word he said about it now felt like twisting the knife in his brothers’ hearts.

Even if he had to kowtow to make it up to them, this wasn’t the time or place.

Change the subject—talk about something else!

This topic had to end now.

But just then, Lin Yu suddenly dropped a new bombshell:

"Class President, we don’t have much time out here."

"Besides saying hi, I actually came to ask you for a favor."

"I remember you’re the best photographer in our class."

Shi Yanhai: "???"

What the hell did that mean?

At this point, every word out of Lin Yu’s mouth felt like a trap.

He didn’t dare respond casually.

"My skills are just average. I’ve just done more assignments, so practice makes passable, I guess?"

"What’s this favor you’re talking about?"
