"I'm not that lucky, so I'm afraid I'll disappoint you," Ye Tian said with a smile. "I just wanted to go sit there for a while. Let's go now!"
Ye Tian had an indescribable feeling about this Zhang Xinlan. He'd taken a good, long look at her before. The woman felt a little mysterious, preventing others from seeing her true nature.
Her eyes, in particular, had a very special quality, as if she could see right through a person's heart. They brimmed with mystery.
Ye Tian, Zhou Xiang, and Chu Hongyuan left the dormitory and headed toward the academic area, running into quite a few students along the way.
At first, no one paid them much mind. Then, someone suddenly realized who it was and shouted, "Look, isn't that Ye Tian, the number one student of our honors class? He's actually here!"
His words were a stone tossed into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. The gazes of numerous students instantly locked onto Ye Tian. 'Why has this legendary figure shown up now?'
In an instant, a buzz of discussion erupted. Many of the female students' eyes were filled with adoration, while the male students' gazes were full of jealousy and hatred.
"Could Ye Tian be here for Zhang Xinlan? Now that he's shown up, it looks like we're out of luck!" a male student whispered.
"Of course. Someone as outstanding as Ye Tian is naturally favored by many girls. Our goddess might be about to fall into his clutches. *Sigh*..."
Ye Tian paid no mind to the discussions, continuing toward the academic area and soon entering the classroom building.
The arrival of Ye Tian and his three companions once again drew the eyes of the students inside, and the buzz of conversation flared up again. Ye Tian's appearance was truly a surprise.
At that moment, Lin Ling was in the middle of explaining something to the class, but Ye Tian's appearance made her jump. "Ye Tian, what are you doing here?" Although it was a simple question, it was loaded with complex emotions that only the two of them understood.
"I haven't been here in a long time, so I thought I'd make a special trip to take a look. I never expected our beautiful instructor to have gotten even more gorgeous!" Ye Tian chuckled.
"You silver-tongued devil. Hurry and find a seat; don't disturb the other students," Lin Ling laughed.
He was the first person to ever dare flirt with the beautiful instructor in front of so many students. Everyone thought Ye Tian would incur her wrath, but they never expected her to be so gentle with him. It was simply unbelievable.
Everyone knew that Instructor Lin Ling and Instructor Xiao Yaoyao had disappeared along with Ye Tian for a long time. The two women had only returned a short while ago, and now Ye Tian was back, too. They couldn't help but wonder if there was a connection.
As he came in, Ye Tian had already scanned the students in the building with his Divine Sense. He didn't find any sign of Ye Feifei or Qin Xiaowan, not even Zhang Xinlan. Still, it was nice to see Lin Ling.
After finding an empty seat, Ye Tian let his gaze rest on Lin Ling. It had only been a few days, but she seemed even more alluring, her figure fuller and more captivating than before.
Lin Ling, of course, felt Ye Tian's scorching gaze, and a faint blush crept onto her stunning face. 'Why is there something different in that brat's eyes? Don't tell me he wants to devour me?'
Lin Ling mused. After all, she'd seen plenty of eyes filled with desire, so it was only natural for her to notice it in Ye Tian's.
Of course, if Ye Tian really did have such thoughts, she was willing to accept them. Given the right circumstances, she wouldn't even mind giving her first time to this man who was younger than her!
News of Ye Tian's arrival in the honors classroom spread like wildfire. Before long, more students were entering the building, including Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan.
After entering the classroom, the two women went directly to Ye Tian's side, and Zhou Xiang and Chu Hongyuan quickly gave up their seats.
Ye Tian glanced at Ye Feifei and gave her a smile, then turned his gaze to Qin Xiaowan. He hadn't expected her to have become even more beautiful during their time apart.
"Ye Tian, it's been so long. I never imagined you'd progressed so quickly. Feifei told me all about it. Congratulations!" Qin Xiaowan said, looking at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's eyes were fixed on Qin Xiaowan. He wasn't sure how to describe his feelings for her. He knew a great chasm lay between them, and if it couldn't be crossed, there was no point in thinking about anything else.
"Your progress must be considerable as well. If I'm not mistaken, you should be at the Second Vein Fifth Layer, but you've hidden your strength just the same. You're also cultivating the Divine Dragon Battle Body. However, you've only just broken through to the Late First Layer and are still a little ways from the Second Layer."
"Ye Tian, how can you tell so clearly? Don't tell me your Divine Dragon Battle Body has already reached the Third Layer? How is that possible? We both know how difficult it is to cultivate the Divine Dragon Battle Body. How could you have progressed so fast?" Qin Xiaowan asked in astonishment.
"Nothing is impossible. As long as you're willing to work hard, you can do it. Keep it up! I'm sure you'll catch up to me soon!" Ye Tian said with a smile.
The two were conversing via Secret Transmission. Those sitting beside them knew this full well, but it was a secret they couldn't share with others.
Lin Ling noticed the exchange between Ye Tian and Qin Xiaowan but paid it no mind, though she still felt a slight pang of jealousy. She knew that sooner or later, Qin Xiaowan would likely become another one of Ye Tian's women. He was simply too outstandingāso much so that one couldn't help but fall for him.
Everyone was confused about the relationship between Ye Tian, Qin Xiaowan, and Ye Feifei, yet at the same time, it felt clear. It was a very contradictory feeling.
However, everyone assumed that these two women belonged to Ye Tian. That was why no one had dared to bother Qin Xiaowan since Ye Tian's departure. Of course, even if they wanted to, they'd have to check if they were even qualified.
Ye Tian's presence had certainly brought a new atmosphere to the honors class. Just then, a beautiful woman in a long white dress entered from outside the classroom building. Her beauty was like that of an ethereal Fairy who didn't partake of the mortal world.
The newcomer was none other than the academy's acknowledged number one beauty, Zhang Xinlan. Her appearance made the male students in the building see green. One by one, they stared at her as if they were on steroids.
Ye Tian's gaze only lingered for a moment before moving away. It wasn't that he had no interest in beautiesāhe already had two sitting beside him and one more on the podium. He really didn't dare provoke another one.
"Boss, your charisma is just too powerful. I can't believe you showing up actually drew our goddess out! Boss, I'm your biggest fan!" Zhou Xiang exclaimed.
At that moment, Zhang Xinlan actually began walking toward Ye Tian and did something that left everyone in disbelief. "You're Ye Tian? May I sit in the seat next to you?"
Her voice was incredibly gentle and melodic, making countless male students burn with envyā¦
