Ye Tian and Xiao Yaoyao parted ways after leaving the Dean's area. Xiao Yaoyao headed to the advanced class's office, and Ye Tian returned to his dormitory.
After pushing open the door to his dorm room, Ye Tian saw that no one was inside. However, the bedding on his bunk was arranged very neatly. It seed Zhou Xiang and the others had kept it ready for his return.
Although it was just a simple thing, at certain tis, it could be elevated into sothing much more significant. Through small acts like this, their brotherly bond had intangibly deepened a great deal.
Ye Tian lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. He thought back on recent events, the bits and pieces flooding his mind as if they had all happened just yesterday.
At the sa ti, however, he felt a responsibility heavier than anyone else's. Improving his strength was important, but getting rid of the Dragon Scales that had appeared on his body was even more crucial.
It was impossible to obtain the Fire Phoenix Robe in a short amount of ti. For now, he could only rely on Ye Feifei's blood to solve the problem, but he found it truly difficult to bring himself to ask her.
He didn't know if it was because of the recent stress or simply overexertion, but Ye Tian unknowingly drifted off to sleep on his bed.
After so ti, the door opened, and Zhou Xiang, Qian Xiaohao, and the others walked in. When they saw Ye Tian on the bed, they were all stunned, thinking their eyes were playing tricks on them.
"Boss, you're actually back! This is such a surprise!" Zhou Xiang couldn't help but exclaim.
Ye Tian woke with a start. Seeing the three of them in front of him, he imdiately sat up and said, "It's no surprise. I've been gone for so long, have you guys been working hard on your Cultivation? Don't tell you're all still stuck at your original Realms."
"Hehe, you can rest assured about that. We've all been working very hard. While you were gone, we all advanced a stage or two. I'm already at the One Vein Ninth Layer now.
And Brother Chu has already broken through to the Two Vein Realm, while Xiaohao has reached the Late Stage of One Vein Eighth Layer. Boss, what Realm are you at now?" Zhou Xiang asked.
"? I should be at the Three Vein Realm now, I guess. Pretty shocking, right?" Ye Tian asked.
"What? The Three Vein Realm? How is that possible? Boss, you're not ssing with us, are you? It's only been a short while!" Zhou Xiang asked.
Chu Hongyuan was also shocked. All three of them stared at Ye Tian as if he were a monster. "Are you telling the truth? The Three Vein Realm?"
"We're brothers, of course I wouldn't lie to you. I got so great training this ti in the Demon Beast Region, and of course, I also absorbed a lot of Demon Beast Magic Crystals. Plus, my Cultivation speed was already fast to begin with, so this is all pretty normal.
There might be so changes to the academy's upcoming field training. Students from all three grades might be in the sa area. When that happens, there will definitely be people fighting over Demon Beasts. It could get very dangerous. Things like murder and robbery are common, so you have to be prepared," Ye Tian said with a serious expression.
"You don't need to worry about that, Boss. With you around, what do we have to fear? Besides, we're not exactly pushovers ourselves. If anyone dares to ss with us, we'll make sure they die a miserable death!" Zhou Xiang said with a laugh.
"I've been gone for a while. Has anything special happened in the academy? Or rather, have there been any unusual reactions from the Murong Family or the Sima Family?" Ye Tian asked.
"The Murong and Sima Families haven't really reacted. A while ago, Sima Tianhai did send soone to ask about you, but once they heard you had disappeared, they didn't press the matter.
But there is one thing you might be interested in. Wanna know what it is, Boss? You'd never guess in a million years!" Zhou Xiang said.
"What is it? Spit it out, don't keep in suspense!" Ye Tian demanded, his curiosity piqued.
"Boss, do you rember the number one beauty on the academy's beauty ranking?" Zhou Xiang asked.
"The number one beauty? I think I saw her in a pictorial album and know she's gorgeous, but I can't rember her na now. What about her? Did sothing happen?" Ye Tian asked.
"That's right. Zhang Xinlan has joined our advanced class now. She's beco the object of every man's affection in the class, but she's a total ice queen. No man has been able to get close to her heart," Zhou Xiang said.
"Heh, are you saying the three of you tried and Zhang Xinlan was still completely indifferent? What does she usually do? Don't tell all she knows is Cultivation?" Ye Tian asked.
"Exactly. She's a total cultivation maniac. She can go all day without saying a word to anyone, and a lot of the ti, you can't even find her. But everyone hopes to see her, so they all go to the academic area every day to wait for her.
And she only shows up in the morning; she never appears in the afternoon. We didn't see her today, though. It's been three days, and I'm getting antsy," Zhou Xiang said.
"Zhou Xiang, aren't you exaggerating? Just because you've got a thing for Zhang Xinlan doesn't an you can lump us in with you. We don't think like that. Otherwise, how would we ever improve our strength?" Chu Hongyuan said.
"Brother Chu, we all know what's on everyone's mind. You're just disheartened because she rejected you. With a woman like that, how are you supposed to win her heart if you aren't a little thick-skinned?" Zhou Xiang retorted.
Ye Tian finally understood what was going on. "So you guys have an ulterior motive. Are you telling all this because you want to go after Zhang Xinlan? I suggest you drop those wild ideas. I'm not going to do anything reckless, and you should know why!"
"The last thing we want is for you to snatch Zhang Xinlan away. She's the goddess of our hearts! You already have Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan. If you lay a finger on Zhang Xinlan too, I believe every student in the academy will treat you as their public enemy," Chu Hongyuan said.
"Boss, don't listen to Brother Chu. I support you! A goddess-tier woman like Zhang Xinlan can only be matched by an outstanding genius like you. If you can make her your woman, you'd be winning glory for all of us!" Qian Xiaohao chid in.
Ye Tian and the other two all turned to look at Qian Xiaohao, not expecting him to have such an idea.
"Alright, I get what you're all getting at. But to be honest, even though Zhang Xinlan is beautiful, I really don't have any interest in her like that. Besides, I don't even know her. Let's just drop the subject.
I haven't been to the academic area in a long ti. It's about ti I went. Do you guys want to co with ?" Ye Tian asked.
"We just got back and we're going out again? Still, if the Boss says he's going, we've got to go. Let's head out. Maybe with you back, Boss, you'll bring so good luck, and my goddess will appear!" Zhou Xiang said.
