Miss from the Countryside, Chapter 4131. Main Text: Chapter 413 – A Brother from the Same Trench. This content is the textual material from Chapter 4131 of "Miss from the Countryside." It's not just someone calling themselves that anymore—this time, it sounds incredibly sharp to Lu Yun! Is he finally joining the ranks of the "little broken Mao" now? Though he'd often find himself involved in fights in the past, Lu Yun never considered himself a "little broken Mao." At least, he never bullied others. Throughout all his encounters, he consistently targeted those who were soft-spoken, timid, and always eager to show off. Now, however, he finds himself having to mix with precisely those people! Lu Yun kept telling himself in his heart that he was doing this out of concern for Xiao Ying and Hong Yu's safety. Yet this very reason seemed rather ridiculous to him. He had always dreamed of building a grand harem, yet he couldn't even ensure their safety. Was it all just so he could indulge in the pleasures of meeting and playing with beautiful women—yes, playing, manipulating each and every one of them! He had envisioned himself building a harem for the sheer joy of playing with women across the land, yet he hadn't once thought about their well-being. Once, he had considered himself a man of integrity, unpretentious and free from underhanded schemes. Now, merely threatened by the very young, somewhat unassuming head of the household before him, he could no longer guarantee the safety of the girls he truly cared for. How could he possibly build such a harem, with thousands of beautiful women gathered around him, when even now, only Xiao Ying and Hong Yu remained? And how could he protect them all, when he was already being pushed to this very brink? Thud! Lu Yun struck a sturdy tree beside him with a single punch, causing a loud rustling of leaves as the entire tree swayed and trembled, countless leaves drifting down. All his accumulated rage poured into that one punch, and blood seeped through the crevices where his fist met the trunk, tracing a long, winding streak down the tree. Though his fist was now bloodied and bruised, Lu Yun felt no pain at all—only a fierce anger that burned within him like a blazing fire. Zhao Kai was astonished by Lu Yun's strength; the tree had visibly shaken under the impact. Though he considered himself strong, he could never have achieved such force. It seemed that during their meal at the canteen, Lu Yun had spared his strength—otherwise, Zhao Kai's head would have been split open already. Xiao Dapeng, the most powerful figure among the initial group, had already pledged his loyalty to me. Lu Yun, the most capable fighter, also agreed to join the Gathering of the Elite. As for the early and mid-years, they were already firmly under my control, Hua Ke. Though there were still some scattered troops who remained resistant, they could not make a significant impact. At present, all the capable and battle-ready forces within this mid-level tier have been brought under my command. Hua Ke couldn't help but laugh heartily upon thinking this through. Although his methods to secure Lu Yun's cooperation had been somewhat unseemly, he had finally succeeded in making Lu Yun comply. Seeing Lu Yun's bleeding right arm, Hua Ke didn't hesitate—he tore a long strip of cloth from his shirt with a sharp rip, took Lu Yun's arm, and carefully bandaged the wound. "I still stand by what I said earlier. From now on, you will serve as the Vice President of the Gathering of the Elite." Lu Yun remained still as Hua Ke tended to his wound, his expression unchanged, standing straight as if carved from stone. Bandaged the wound, Zhao Kai gave Land Yun a hearty pat on the shoulder and laughed, "Alright, today I'm hosting—let's go to a restaurant in town and have a meal together." As soon as Zhao Kai finished speaking, the several younger guys behind him immediately cheered, each eager to go to a specific restaurant. Xiao Dapeng, who had been quietly standing aside, finally spoke up at this moment, "Yun-gong, from now on, we can fight side by side." "I still have classes to attend, so you all go ahead. Zhao Kai, I've agreed to join the Gathering of the Elite, but you must also honor your promise—not to interfere with Xiao Ying and Hong Yu again." Land Yun said this with a calm, expressionless demeanor. At this moment, Land Yun still referred to Zhao Kai by his first name, and Zhao Kai didn't find it odd at all. He smiled and replied, "You can rest assured—I've had no choice but to make this compromise. And as for the incident where you took down my elder brother, that's settled now." Land Yun nodded and turned to leave. Zhao Kai then grasped Land Yun's arm and asked, "Yun, where are you going?" "The textbook content is from Chapter 4131 of 'The Village Beauty!' Zhao Kai chuckled, "What class are we taking? Even if we graduate from university, what good will it do? In today's world, where strength rules, how can culture compare to a solid punch? Come on, let's go to town and have a proper meal together." Xu Dapeng added promptly, "Yun, I'll go say hello to Lei." And with that, he dashed out of the small grove. Since Lu Yun has now joined Zhao Kai, it's essential that Lei be informed right away. They've grown up together since childhood, bare-bottomed and inseparable—true lifelong friends. It would be best if Lei could join them, sharing both the blessings and the burdens. That way, Lei could also indirectly let Liang Hongyu know Lu Yun's whereabouts—though Lei would have to come up with his own excuse. At this moment, Lu Yun felt the pain radiating from his forearm, looking at the hand tightly bandaged, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly—Zhao Kai's skill in winning people over was indeed quite refined! Xiao Dapeng had already departed, so Lu Yun had no choice but to stay on, making it his first test in accepting the commitment to join the 'Assembly of the Elite.' Not long after, Xiao Dapeng returned to the small grove, breathless, while Zhao Kai had already arranged for the school's bicycles to be brought out. With a simple gesture, Zhao Kai said, "Let's go—To the Welcome Restaurant!" The young staff members cheered enthusiastically and happily stepped out of the grove. Lu Yun's bicycle had already been dismantled completely, with no parts left to be found, so he had to rely on a sturdy-looking young man—his head and body seeming somewhat out of proportion—named Dahu, who took him to the town. "Uncle Yun, I'm Dahu. Whenever you need anything, just let me know," Dahu smiled warmly, then mounted the bicycle and gestured for Lu Yun to sit on it. Called "bro" by someone a few years older than himself, Lu Yun found it somewhat uncomfortable, though he had seen this in Hong Kong gang films—there, people weren't ranked by age but by strength. As the Vice President of the "Group of Elite," Lu Yun now certainly earned that title. "Thanks," Lu Yun managed a strained smile, then climbed onto the back seat. A group of seven or eight people, led by Zhao Kai, rolled steadily toward the town! Watching the crops and trees along the roadside recede like flying leaves, Lu Yun found his thoughts stirring. Zhao Kai, riding a bicycle just one meter away beside him, smiled at Lu Yun and said, "Lu Yun, once I find some time, I'll introduce you to the key members of the Group of Elite. Then we'll be brothers in the same trench, you know—haha." ... Rural Beauty 4131, Main Text 413—Update of "Brothers in the Same Trench" complete!
