Chapter 229: A Small Gathering, the Cold Beauty Falls
Everyone stared in disbelief at Zi Yan, then at Wu Tian.
This guy… was a legend.
He actually tamed the "Overlord of Brute Strength"?
Was it because of the candy? Did it hold some mystical power over her?
Even if that were the case, did she have to be this cute?!
If the "Overlord of Brute Strength" had always been this adorable, they wouldn't have been so terrified of her all this time. The elders wouldn't flee at the mere sight of her either!
Su Qian watched the harmonious scene between Wu Tian and Zi Yan, and he made up his mind there needed to be an emergency faculty meeting.
A large scale one.
A crisis prevention meeting.
He had to figure out a way to contain these two before they turned Jia Nan Academy upside down.
Wu Tian chuckled, his face full of affection as he ruffled Zi Yan's hair. Then, he turned his gaze toward the figures behind her.
Trailing behind Zi Yan were two men and a woman.
The woman was none other than Han Yue the cold, beautiful goddess Wu Tian had already set his sights on.
As for the two men, they were Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao.
Yan Hao was massive, towering over everyone by two heads. His broad frame and stubbled jaw gave off a wild, untamed aura. He simply nodded at Wu Tian in greeting, his deep set eyes holding a trace of admiration.
Lin Xiuya, on the other hand, had a refined, elegant appearance. Dressed in a blue robe, he seemed to be around twenty four or twenty five. He offered Wu Tian a polite, friendly smile, nodding in acknowledgment.
Wu Tian reciprocated the nod. A smiling man doesn't get punched.
Then, there was Han Yue.
She had been staring at Wu Tian, her cold, refined features tinged with an unusual redness.
Just moments ago, when Wu Tian had stood above the arena, looking down upon everyone, his aura had captivated her.
Compared to Lin Xiuya's elegance, compared to Liu Qing's dominance, compared to Yan Hao's raw power…
Wu Tian's presence was simply irresistible.
The kind of presence that commanded the attention of women.
The kind of man a woman couldn't ignore.
And Han Yue knew this.
She also knew that a man like this would never lack women by his side.
But what woman wouldn't want to be with the best?
Better to be one of many by his side than to settle for a mediocre man.
Besides, wasn't Xun Er and Hu Jia by his side as well? They were just as outstanding as her.
Even her past obsession with cleanliness was starting to fade away.
Han Yue suddenly regretted her past choices.
If she had just held onto Wu Tian's hand that day, if she had stuck by his side, she would have entered the Heavenly Flame Training Tower with him.
Would she have already become one of the women closest to him?
Would she have been the one standing beside him now?
But regrets were useless.
Would he think she was shallow if she suddenly approached him now?
Han Yue's mind was in turmoil, her emotions flaring out of control. Her normally pale, delicate face flushed pink before turning pale again, her heart racing.
Su Qian, pretending not to notice, clapped his hands behind his back.
"Alright, this match is over! The arena is wrecked, so it'll be closed for repairs for three days. Everyone, disperse!"
The students scattered like frightened mice, hurrying to spread the news.
They had witnessed a legend today.
Wu Tian.
The man who made the inner academy tremble.
The moment they left, they were heading straight for their friends, classmates, and factions to brag about what they had seen.
More importantly
They had to join the Ri Yan Alliance before all the spots were taken!
Satisfied with how quickly the students fled, Su Qian turned to the other elders and teachers.
"Summon every elder and instructor to the meeting hall. No excuses. I don't care what they're doing drop everything and get there!"
The moment he finished speaking, Su Qian vanished into thin air.
Straight back to his office.
To sulk in frustration.
Wu Tian turned to the others and smiled.
"This isn't the best place to chat. Why don't we have a small gathering at Ri Yan Alliance?"
Lin Xiuya laughed.
"That was exactly my thought!"
Yan Hao and Han Yue had no objections. They all followed Wu Tian toward Ri Yan Alliance territory.
Meanwhile
Liu Qing was still unconscious.
His humiliation was far from over.
His cousin and his faction had to carry him away, his reputation shattered.
When he woke up, would he ever be the same again?
Would he ever dare to look Wu Tian in the eye?
If Wu Tian didn't help him recover, he might never break past the Dou Ling realm.
Wu Tian turned to Wu Hao.
"Keep an eye on Liu Qing. Let me know when he wakes up I'll have to talk some sense into him before he's completely ruined."
Everyone: …
"You actually realize what you did to him?!"
"Yes, of course he's traumatized! You nearly exploded him!!!"
Wu Hao nodded.
"Got it, boss!"
Wu Tian sighed, shaking his head in exasperation.
"I was just messing with him a little. Didn't expect him to pass out."
Everyone: …
"If you did that to us, we'd pass out too."
Even Grand Elder Su Qian had been forced into an emergency 360 degree spin to deal with the energy.
That was proof enough.
Not even Zi Yan was this ridiculous!
At Ri Yan Alliance, everyone sat around chatting, exchanging praises.
Zi Yan, munching on her candy, looked bored out of her mind.
If Wu Tian wasn't here, she would have punched all of them out of the room already.
Wu Tian grinned, enjoying the flattery of these so called "geniuses".
Being idolized by the elite was… quite satisfying.
By now, everyone understood Wu Tian had surpassed even the strongest in the Inner Academy.
The rankings hadn't changed officially, but they knew.
Wu Tian was undoubtedly Number One.
Seated nearby, Han Yue's beautiful eyes never left Wu Tian.
Even Xun Er and Hu Jia noticed.
Even the other guys noticed.
Her face remained cold and emotionless, but…
The soft flush on her cheeks gave her away.
Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao exchanged looks, already understanding what was happening.
"Sigh… the Ice Goddess has fallen."
Xun Er and Hu Jia observed Han Yue closely.
She was gorgeous.
Xun Er had an elegant, noble charm.
Hu Jia had a fiery, passionate allure.
And Han Yue?
She was cold, like ice.
Which man wouldn't be tempted by fire and ice?
Even they were a little mesmerized by Han Yue's presence.
Would Wu Tian be able to resist?
Even if he wasn't in love, wouldn't he be curious?
Hu Jia smiled at Han Yue.
"Sister Yue, these dumb men are just going to drink. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
Han Yue hesitated, casting one last glance at Wu Tian… then nodded.
"Alright."
Wu Tian, watching them leave, smirked.
"Good, good~ My women are getting along. Tonight, I'll have to reward them properly."
Then, he turned to Lin Xiuya and Yan Hao.
"Gentlemen, I have centuries old aged wine. Shall we drink?"
Lin Xiuya's eyes lit up.
"Centuries old?! Say less."
Yan Hao roared.
"Let's drink!!!"
