Ye Tian's words were casual, but Xiao Wenjie and Guan Tianshui didn't see it that way. To advance two entire realms in just two short months could only an he'd had so fortuitous encounter, yet there seed to be no possibility of that where he had been.
Since Ye Tian didn't want to elaborate, the two of them naturally didn't press the issue. Now that he had reached the Power Realm of the Five Veins, there was much less to worry about once he arrived in the Imperial City. Besides, he had Zhang Xinlan with him.
"Ye Tian, we are overjoyed that you were able to break through to a new Realm. Your departure is imminent, and we have nothing to give you as a parting gift. We only hope that once you've achieved success in the future, you will co back to Linyuan Academy and visit us."
"Of course, the Imperial City is nothing like Linyuan Academy. It's filled with powerful experts, and the various factions are constantly scheming against each other. I hope you understand that the tallest tree catches the most wind. You must learn to endure and lay low," Xiao Wenjie said.
"Don't worry, Dean, I know what to do. The departure is ant to be quiet, right? I want to go see my brothers," Ye Tian said.
"I will personally escort you out of Lin Yuan City. The original plan was for you to leave in two days, but you've made quite a few enemies. For the sake of safety, it's better if you leave tomorrow. This way, anyone plotting against you won't know your whereabouts," Xiao Wenjie said.
Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan gave a slight nod, tacitly accepting the arrangent. They then left the dean's office area and headed toward the teaching area for the advanced class of the Basic Level.
When they reached the academic building, quite a few students were practicing on the Martial Arts Training Ground. They were all surprised to see Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan, and a buzz of chatter imdiately broke out.
Ignoring the chatter, the pair went straight into the academic building. Inside, Lin Ling was explaining the essentials of executing various Martial Skills.
However, when she saw Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan appear, she was stunned. She was so taken aback she lost her train of thought, her eyes fixed on Ye Tian with an unreadable expression on her face.
Zhou Xiang, Chu Hongyuan, and Qian Xiaohao were all in the classroom. However, Ye Feifei and Qin Xiaowan were absent, likely having gone to the private training chambers to cultivate.
The mont they saw Ye Tian, the three of them bolted from their seats and ran over. "Boss, you're back! We missed you like crazy!" Zhou Xiang exclaid first.
Ye Tian offered a slight smile. "Hey, this is a classroom, don't act like this. It's embarrassing in front of the other students! Besides, Instructor Lin Ling is right here!"
As he spoke, he gave Lin Ling a aningful look. His feelings for this woman, with whom he had faced life and death, were incredibly complex. Though they had never crossed that final line, they both knew in their hearts that their love ran deep.
"Ye Tian, Zhang Xinlan, please return to your seats. You can catch up later! You can't disturb the other students!" Lin Ling interjected. After all, she was their instructor. As thrilled as she was to see Ye Tian, she still knew her duty.
'If there were no other students here, I would've rushed forward to hug him without a second thought, maybe even given him a kiss. I've missed him so terribly these past few days. I tried to visit him several tis, but the dean stopped , just like he did with Yaoyao.'
Zhang Xinlan found an empty seat and sat down. Her aura had grown even more feminine, causing the hearts of many male students to stir. However, thinking that she must already be Ye Tian's woman, they could only suppress their desires and indulge in their fantasies.
Lin Ling rushed through material that should have taken an hour, finishing in just thirty minutes. The other students quickly filed out, leaving only Ye Tian and his group.
"Boss, it doesn't seem like you suffered much in the Detention Chamber. In fact, you feel even more powerful than before. What's the deal?" As the most talkative of the group, Zhou Xiang was the first to ask.
"You think it was a good thing, don't you? Why don't you give it a try? I guarantee you'll have a blast. You'll co out a changed man! I'm leaving soon, so I ca to see you all. I want to have a few drinks together before I head to the Imperial City."
"Zhou Xiang, I assu Feifei and Xiaowan are cultivating? They should have known it was about ti for to be released. Go and check on them, will you?" Ye Tian said.
"No need. We're already here!" The words had barely left Ye Tian's mouth when Ye Feifei's voice drifted in from outside. A mont later, she and Qin Xiaowan appeared before everyone.
Ye Tian was inwardly startled. 'My voice wasn't loud, but she heard from outside? That ans her Power Realm has improved considerably.' A closer look confird it: she had actually broken through to the Three Veins Realm. Qin Xiaowan, too, had reached the Second Vein Eighth Layer.
It was clear the two of them had been training arduously; the exhaustion was plain on their faces.
Ye Feifei rushed to Ye Tian's side. "Brother Tian, you're finally out! Do you have any idea how much I've missed you? I finally get to see you, but... you're leaving again right away. I don't want you to go!" she said, tears already welling in her eyes.
"Alright Boss, don't be all lovey-dovey with your girl right here in front of us! How about we find a place to have those drinks? Since you're leaving, we've got to give you a proper send-off, right?" Zhou Xiang chid in.
"That's right! We have to give our Boss a proper send-off. Then, when we get to the Imperial City in the future, he can give us a proper welco!" Chu Hongyuan added.
"Alright! Tonight, we won't go ho until we're drunk!" Ye Tian declared. He then left the academic building with the others, and Lin Ling, of course, went with them.
