Zhang Xinlan wasn't angered by Ye Feifei's words. Instead, she smiled. "Ye Feifei, I'm well aware that you're exceptional. I also know all about your relationship with Ye Tian. However, you seem to have forgotten sothing. A man as outstanding as Ye Tian is naturally going to attract the affection of many won.
"Our looks may be comparable, but that doesn't an I can't have ideas about him. What's more, you two haven't even held your wedding yet. That ans I have every right to make a move. Besides, it's perfectly normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Don't you think you're overstepping your bounds?"
Ye Tian felt utterly helpless as he listened to Zhang Xinlan. He knew her intentions all too well. 'This isn't just about her liking ,' he thought. 'It's tied to her complicated relationship with the Shen Li Palace.' He had no idea what to say.
Ye Feifei was so furious she was nearly speechless. 'How dare this Zhang Xinlan try to steal my man so brazenly? Does she not know about Xiao Yaoyao and Lin Ling?'
"Zhang Xinlan, you're bound to be disappointed," Ye Feifei finally retorted, unable to hold back. "It's true a man can have multiple wives, but you're not going to be one of them. Brother Tian already has his choices. I think a woman, a beautiful one at that, should have a bit more self-respect!"
"Heh! Ye Feifei, that's none of your concern," Zhang Xinlan laughed, her smile looking a little odd. "It's Ye Tian's right to choose whoever he wants. Besides, I never said I absolutely had to be with him. Aren't you overthinking things? Can't we just be friends?"
Ye Feifei was completely exasperated by Zhang Xinlan. 'One mont she wants to be with Ye Tian, the next she just wants to be friends. This woman changes her mind way too quickly, even faster than I do.'
Qin Xiaowan stood silently to the side. She knew she had no right to speak up. Still, she hoped Ye Tian wouldn't take on any more won. 'Even if I can't be with him, I don't want anyone else joining either.'
Zhou Xiang and his two companions watched the drama unfold as if it were a fascinating spectacle. For a goddess like her to be so forward with Ye Tian was simply unbelievable. To put it another way, Ye Tian's luck with the ladies was just too damn good. They were filled with nothing but envy.
After a mont, Ye Tian said, "Alright, that's enough. Stop arguing. Whether two people get together isn't sothing that can be decided on a whim. It takes fate and ti. Matters of the heart are no joke.
"Let's go to the Martial Arts Training Ground for now. Many people have probably gathered there already. This wilderness activity might look simple, but it's actually very dangerous. It's good to have Zhang Xinlan with us. I'm sure none of you want to see a beautiful woman like her in peril, do you?"
Zhang Xinlan and Ye Feifei exchanged a look and fell silent. With Ye Tian having said his piece, there was nothing left to argue about.
"Let's go," Ye Tian said and started walking toward the Teleportation Gate. He completely ignored the stares from the other students, having long grown used to them.
Zhou Xiang, Ye Feifei, and the rest followed Ye Tian. Soon, they had all passed through the Teleportation Gate, arriving at the location where their talents had been tested. The place was now a veritable sea of people.
They quickly made their way to the section for the Basic Level classes, found a line, and got in. The air buzzed with endless chatter.
"Boss, and you thought we were early," Zhou Xiang said, still sounding a little defiant. "Look at this. We're actually pretty late. Are you surprised?"
"A little, but it makes sense," Ye Tian said, rolling his eyes at Zhou Xiang. "Just because you all couldn't sleep doesn't an I couldn't. The Dean will be here any minute, so just listen carefully to the details of the wilderness activity."
The Martial Arts Training Ground was still buzzing with excitent. Everyone was in high spirits; after all, this was a rare opportunity to leave the academy and explore the outside world. It promised to be both dangerous and thrilling.
So students were practically bouncing with anticipation, while others were deeply worried. There was, after all, a real possibility of being slain by a Demon Beast, and who would want to throw their life away in the Demon Beast Region?
After a mont, two figures materialized in the sky. They were followed by the appearance of the instructors for every class. No stage had been erected this ti; the instructors simply stood on the open ground, facing the student body.
The figures in the sky were none other than Guan Tianshui and Xiao Wenjie. The crowd imdiately quieted down, as everyone knew the details of the wilderness activity were about to be revealed.
Xiao Wenjie looked out over the students gathered on the Martial Arts Training Ground and smiled slightly. "You are all very eager, and that is precisely the kind of enthusiasm the academy needs. Today, our wilderness activity officially comnces.
"However, before we begin, I must make a few announcents. The academy always offers rich rewards for these wilderness activities, and this ti is no exception. In fact, this year's rewards are more lavish than ever.
"The rewards will be judged separately across the three student levels. Of course, if a student from the Basic Level manages to acquire more Magic Crystals and slay more Demon Beasts than even students from the Advanced Class, they will receive an even better reward.
"I can tell you all what this special reward is. It is direct admission to the Imperial City Academy, allowing you to beco one of the most elite students in the entire Celestial Dragon Empire! Hearing this, aren't you all thrilled?"
A thunderous applause erupted imdiately. The students were ecstatic; every one of them dread of getting into the Imperial City Academy. This was their best opportunity, however slim the chances might be.
Ye Tian was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. 'Is Dean Xiao hinting at sothing for my benefit?' he wondered. 'With my power, achieving that is completely within my reach.'
The discussions continued ceaselessly until Xiao Wenjie raised a hand, gesturing for silence. The students quickly quieted down again.
"It will indeed be difficult to claim such a reward. This wilderness activity is different from those in the past. Students from all three levels will enter both the Junior-Level and Middle-Level Demon Beast Regions. The Barrier between these two zones will be completely open. The Demon Beasts within are exceptionally fierce, so this will be quite dangerous.
"However, I need to clarify one rule. Students from the Middle Level and Advanced Class are prohibited from killing Tier Two Demon Beasts. If you did, your power would leave the Basic Level students with no opportunity to get any Magic Crystals. The results of this competition are still based on who collects the most Magic Crystals.
"Additionally, murdering and robbing other students within the Demon Beast Region is strictly prohibited. Anyone caught doing so will be executed on the spot. To prevent such incidents, the academy has specially created a Container Bag for each student.
"This Container Bag is similar to a Storage Belt, but it is a disposable item that will only function for three months. Each of you must infuse your Spiritual Power into the bag to bind it to yourself. Once bound, no one else can access the Magic Crystals inside, even if they manage to take the bag from you.
"Therefore, anyone harboring thoughts of murder and robbery should give up on that idea right now. If you are caught, death is certain! Now, I will ask the instructors to distribute the Container Bags. I hope this wilderness activity is a resounding success. Do your best, students! I am waiting for you to create miracles!" Xiao Wenjie concluded...
