Chapter 176: A Suspicious Person Arrives at Jia Nan Academy
Wu Tian could feel the overwhelming enthusiasm from these so called senior sisters. He had a bad feeling what if they tried something while flying with him?
Wouldn't that destroy his purity?
As the esteemed Guardian Spirit, his innocence was reserved solely for his wife. He couldn't just throw it away so carelessly!
Huo De gave an awkward chuckle, then quickly waved over one male and one female.
Wu Tian sighed in relief.
This man knows how to handle things.
When he entered the Inner Academy, he'd have to give Huo De a promotion.
"Wu Gan, before you leave, I have to warn you about something," Huo De said with a serious expression.
"You haven't even entered the academy yet, but you've already made enemies with nearly every male student in the Outer Academy.
"And you should know the reason…
"With someone as outstanding as Xun'er, all the so called 'geniuses' at the academy are completely obsessed with her.
"In less than two months, you've gained countless love rivals and they're not just any weaklings.
"You should... be patient. That will make things a little easier for you."
Wu Tian nodded solemnly.
"I appreciate the warning, Instructor Huo De. I'll keep it in mind," he said.
"But tell me, do you know the saying when the winds and clouds collide, a dragon is born?"
Before Huo De could react, Wu Tian stepped onto the griffin's back.
The two students in charge of flying didn't even have time to process what had happened before the griffin flapped its wings and took off, rapidly leaving the town behind.
Huo De: "When the winds and clouds collide, a dragon is born?
"Wait… Am I the wind and clouds, and he's the dragon? What the hell does that mean?"
He didn't understand at the time.
But a few days later, everything became clear.
That was the moment he decided to change his name to Huo Fengyun.
As the town below grew smaller, Wu Tian's lips curled into a smile.
It had been over a month since he last saw that elegant, delicate girl.
Her face gradually resurfaced in his mind.
At the same time, another memory appeared
That day at the teahouse in Wu Tan City…
Even though Xun'er possessed the fourth ranked Heavenly Flame, she still liked drinking water.
"Xun'er… I'll finally see you again."
"I wonder, during those late, quiet nights… Have you been thinking about me?"
Standing on the griffin's back, Wu Tian sighed.
"This speed is ridiculously slow!"
"Is this really the best a magical beast can do?"
"Even my Little Zi is faster than this!"
It should have only taken a few hours to reach Jia Nan Academy.
But these two took their sweet time, dragging it out until midnight.
屮了!
(Damn it!)
The night sky was pitch black, and darkness engulfed everything around Wu Tian.
"Tonight is truly dark as hell…"
After closing his eyes to rest for a bit, he suddenly opened them, releasing a burst of Dou Qi.
Far ahead, he could barely make out the massive silhouette of a city.
Jia Nan City finally!
"Wu Gan, we're stopping at the flight station in the city," one of the Enforcer students informed him.
"You'll have to head to the academy on your own.
"We need to return to Peace Town we can't leave for too long."
Wu Tian nodded.
But in his mind, he scoffed.
"Now you guys suddenly care about time?!"
"Where was this urgency before?!"
…
Actually, they had been 'urgent' all along.
No matter what they did, they did it quickly.
But their endurance in flight was impressive.
"Thank you, seniors," Wu Tian said.
"No need to thank us!"
The male Enforcer waved his hand awkwardly.
With a low roar, the griffin descended at the flight station.
As Wu Tian stepped off, a chilling breeze swept through the streets.
Jia Nan City was eerily quiet.
There were barely any people outside, only a handful of late night wanderers braving the biting cold.
Of course, Wu Tian didn't feel cold.
But an empty street in such a massive city?
That was pretty depressing.
Even worse
Those two Enforcers had gotten all hot and sweaty earlier…
But he hadn't.
That was the real pain.
Just then, Wu Tian felt something moving within his robes.
A small, slippery snake slithered out and nestled against his neck.
He smirked.
"Cai Lin, we've arrived at Jia Nan Academy."
"Once you return to human form, we can finally "
"Ow! Why are you biting me again?!"
"Waaah! Wife, noooo!"
Hearing his sudden outburst, the few people on the street turned to stare at him.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
"He's wandering the streets in the middle of the night… talking about his wife biting him?"
"Isn't this dude a safety risk?"
"We should report him to the Enforcers and have him arrested!"
They didn't just think it.
They acted on it.
"Enforcers! There's a suspicious person here!"
"He's talking to himself about his wife biting him in the middle of the night!"
Wu Tian: "…"
"Seriously? I'm the mighty Guardian Spirit, and you're treating me like a criminal?"
"If I actually get arrested, I'll never live this down!"
Without hesitation, Wu Tian's figure blurred as he vanished into a nearby alleyway.
There was no way he'd let himself get caught.
The Enforcers were strong, but he was stronger.
Half an hour later…
Wu Tian finally stopped running.
But not because he wanted to.
Because he had no choice.
Standing at the gates of Jia Nan Academy…
Was an entire squad of Enforcers.
"There he is! Get him!"
Wu Tian laughed bitterly.
"Damn it… Jia Nan's Enforcers are relentless."
"It's the middle of the night! Shouldn't you people be sleeping?"
"Why are you playing cat and mouse with me?!"
As the Enforcers charged forward, Wu Tian's figure flickered once more.
In the next instant, he was gone.
All that remained…
Was a single glowing emblem on the ground.
The Enforcers blinked.
They looked at the badge… then at each other.
Their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
"Wait a minute…
"Isn't this a Jia Nan Academy student badge?!"
"You mean to tell me we just spent all this time chasing one of our own students?!"
"…Shit."
The leader let out a deep sigh.
"Alright, everyone, go back to your posts. If that guy shows up again…
Just ignore him."
…
Meanwhile
Wu Tian stealthily slipped into Jia Nan Academy.
He sighed in frustration.
"Dammit… I have nowhere to sleep."
"No way in hell am I sleeping outside."
"But wait…"
His eyes suddenly gleamed.
"Heh heh heh~
"Who says I don't have a place to stay?"
A shadowy figure began moving through the academy's dormitories.
First, he skipped past the boys' dorms.
Then…
He entered the girls' dormitory.
A place most men wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Yet, Wu Tian strode in as if he owned it.
Stopping outside a certain door, his lips curled into a smile.
With a flicker, he slipped inside.
Moments later…
A voice echoed from the room.
