Hao Jian hurriedly turned his head, not daring to face Moon Goddess Jiang. Naturally, he knew of Moon Goddess Jiang, but precisely because he knew her, he couldn't let her see him. If she found out that he had returned to Huaxia and didn't look for her, she would probably tear him into pieces.
"Sister Moon Goddess, there is a troublemaker here who has wounded other martial artists and challenged the authority of our Dragon Tooth. I am in the process of expelling him," Sun Zetian said respectfully. In the presence of Moon Goddess Jiang, he too didn't dare to act rashly.
Imdiately, Moon Goddess Jiang turned her gaze towards Hao Jian, who stood with his back to her.
"I'm leaving now!" Hao Jian whispered, and then quickly headed towards the exit. He worried about letting his true identity slip if he stayed any longer, as Moon Goddess Jiang might realize who he was.
Moon Goddess Jiang, watching Hao Jian's departing figure, couldn't help but frown deeply, feeling sothing strange, as if the silhouette was familiar.
However, Moon Goddess Jiang didn't pay much attention to it and turned to Sun Zetian, "Keep a close eye, make sure there are no more mishaps."
"Understood!" Sun Zetian nodded emphatically, yet his gaze towards Moon Goddess Jiang was extrely fervent.
"A coward, scurrying away at the sight of Moon Goddess Jiang. I thought he was capable of sothing!" Zhao Wuheng couldn't help but sneer after Moon Goddess Jiang had left.
"No wonder, even if that kid was impressive, he couldn't possibly be a match for Moon Goddess Jiang. He knows when to retreat, that's a smart man!" Sun Zetian said, his face displaying mockery.
If only he knew that it was Hao Jian who had trained Moon Goddess Jiang, one wonders what he would think.
"Hey? Why do we have to leave, we haven't done anything wrong. The leader of Dragon Tooth, Moon Goddess Jiang is a person of integrity, if we explain the circumstances to her, she'll ensure justice for us!" Yu Jiayi said discontentedly. They hadn't done anything wrong, so why should they run? Wouldn't that just make them look guilty?
With the appearance of Moon Goddess Jiang, it was the perfect opportunity to complain, but now Hao Jian had given up that chance.
"I'll explain to you later," Hao Jian said nervously. "I have to go now, I have so urgent matters!"
He needed to avoid Moon Goddess Jiang quickly, otherwise, if she discovered him, it would be all over.
"No way! You're not allowed to leave until I have completed the exam!" Yu Jiayi couldn't let Hao Jian leave so easily. She was still a bit panicked at heart, but as long as Hao Jian was by her side, she felt secure, and she didn't know why she felt this way.
"Your enemies are still watching eagerly. What will happen to if you run?" Yu Jiayi said.
Hao Jian thought about it and felt that Yu Jiayi had a point. If he left, it was indeed likely that Sun Zetian and the others would target Yu Jiayi.
Hao Jian did not want Yu Jiayi to lose the opportunity to join Dragon Tooth because of him.
"Contestant number one hundred and fifty, Yu Jiayi, please proceed to the assessnt point for your examination!" At that mont, the announcent ca.
"I'm going for my assessnt!" Yu Jiayi said.
"Hmm, I'll wait for you outside. If you have any trouble, call or co to find ," Hao Jian said.
"Okay!" Only after making sure that Hao Jian wouldn't leave did Yu Jiayi finally head towards the examination point with ease.
Yu Jiayi arrived at the checkpoint only to find, unfortunately, that her examiner was Sun Zetian.
Upon seeing Yu Jiayi, Sun Zetian couldn't help but hum, coldly commanding, "Begin the assessnt!"
The first part of the examination was to test the hopping speed of the left and right feet during rapid stepping, to see how fast one could go.
Although displeased, Yu Jiayi complied with Sun Zetian's instructions, beginning to step in place. During this process, she deliberately counted her steps—one hundred and fifty per minute—satisfied with her reaction speed, and confident in passing the assessnt.
But Sun Zetian simply made a mark in his notebook and indifferently said, "Next item."
Following that, Yu Jiayi underwent additional physical tests—strength asurent, running, shot put, long jump—achieving scores that, while not extrely excellent, were certainly enough to pass.
As other candidates wrapped up their assessnts and prepared for the written exam.
But at this mont, Sun Zetian directly said to Yu Jiayi, "You've failed the physical test, you don't need to participate in the written exam."
"What kind of joke is this? I've passed the qualifying score in every category, how could I possibly fail?" Yu Jiayi said angrily, knowing that it wouldn't be easy, and sure enough, Sun Zetian had begun to make things difficult for her.
"If I say you failed, then you failed, no more nonsense!" Sun Zetian coldly replied, completely ignoring Yu Jiayi's complaints.
"This is deliberate suppression and revenge! Not to ntion nepotism and corruption!" Yu Jiayi said angrily.
"So what if you do, what can you do to ? If you must bla soone, bla yourself for following the wrong person!" Sun Zetian snorted coldly.
"You dare not trouble Hao Jian, but you co to pick on instead? You really have so nerve!" Yu Jiayi looked with contempt at Sun Zetian, who didn't dare to trouble Hao Jian but harassed a girl like her, which she found ridiculous.
Yu Jiayi, having exposed his true feelings, made Sun Zetian even more infuriated, prompting him to scold her directly, "Get lost! Otherwise, don't bla for not being polite!"
anwhile, Ye Wenxi, Zhao Wuheng, and so martial artists led by Sun Zetian ca over, wearing cold smirks and staring maliciously at Yu Jiayi.
So of them even reached out for Yu Jiayi brazenly, attempting to grope her chest.
"What are you doing?" Yu Jiayi took two steps back, glaring at the man who had assaulted her in annoyance.
"Why so nervous, a lady of Jianghu should be open-minded!" The man laughed heartily.
"Exactly, you're not a spring chicken anymore, so stop pretending to be pure," Ye Wenxi mocked with a snicker.
"Little miss, don't say I didn't give you a chance, leave that bastard Hao Jian and follow , and I can get you into Dragon Tooth!" Zhao Wuheng said with a lecherous face, his unrestrained gaze sweeping over Yu Jiayi's body.
Yu Jiayi's cheeks flushed with anger from their words: "You... you're despicable!"
"Yes, we are despicable, but what's it to you? If you can, why don't you try getting Hao Jian to take you into Dragon Tooth?" Ye Wenxi laughed derisively, showing no embarrassnt as he laughed it up with Zhao Wuheng and the others.
"Just you wait, I'm calling Hao Jian right now, and you're all finished!" Yu Jiayi said fiercely, they had touched her chest and insulted her so, if she could endure this, then she wouldn't be Yu Jiayi!
"Go ahead and call him! Let tell you, our leader is right here, and if you're not afraid of him dying, then by all ans, let him co!" Sun Zetian said with an arrogant air, clearly not taking Yu Jiayi's threats seriously.
Now that Moon Goddess Jiang was present, they feared no one, not even the reclusive old eccentrics—if they were not afraid of them, would they fear a re nobody?
On hearing this, Yu Jiayi's expression stiffened, shaking her head in disbelief, "That's impossible, Moon Goddess Jiang is known for her integrity. If she knew the intricacies involved, she would surely administer justice on our behalf!"
"Well, that's not necessarily the case, who would side with outsiders over their own? Didn't you know the Moon Goddess is famous for her nepotism? Moreover, I've already altered all your scores. Who's going to know your real ones?" Sun Zetian was far from worried, as he was well aware of Moon Goddess Jiang's character and had prepared everything in advance.
"You... you guys!" Yu Jiayi was stunned.
"Stop with your 'you' this and 'you' that; you should worry about how to keep Hao Jian safe. Just so you know, we've already agreed to tell Moon Goddess Jiang that Hao Jian killed Nangong Fenglin and his group, deeming him an extrely dangerous person. Given Moon Goddess Jiang's intolerance for flaws, what do you think she'll do to Hao Jian?" Zhao Wuheng said with a malicious grin, having just figured out a sche to kill Hao Jian.
Even though they were no match for Hao Jian, Moon Goddess Jiang should be able to take him down.
And knowing Moon Goddess Jiang's strong sense of justice, once she learns of a martial artist wreaking havoc and destabilizing society, she would surely spare no effort in taking action.
At these words, Yu Jiayi's expression imdiately froze; she had underestimated their shalessness and ruthlessness.
"What do you want?" Yu Jiayi's brows furrowed tightly, her pretty face filled with unease and trepidation.
She was confident in Hao Jian, but Moon Goddess Jiang's formidable reputation nevertheless inspired awe; her leadership over Dragon Tooth for three years did not co from luck, but from real strength.
Being known as Huaxia's most ruthless figure was testant enough to how fearso Moon Goddess Jiang was.
Yu Jiayi feared Hao Jian might indeed be killed by Moon Goddess Jiang, and at this mont, she had no choice but to consider a compromise.
"Clean up this venue, not just a scrap of paper, but even sweat drops from the examiners – you must wipe it all clean. Perhaps then, I might consider sparing Hao Jian!" Sun Zetian declared indifferently, his expression cold.
Of course, he had no intention of sparing Hao Jian, he was just playing with Yu Jiayi.
Yu Jiayi also knew this, but still she humiliatingly chose to give it a try: "Are you really speaking the truth?"
"Of course, as long as you do as we ask, we'll spare him," Zhao Wuheng said insincerely, perceiving that Yu Jiayi had taken the bait and continuing to toy with her.
"Mop, broom!" Yu Jiayi said with a dark face to Sun Zetian. To save Hao Jian's life, she was willing to go all out.
"We don't have that stuff, you'll have to figure it out on your own," Sun Zetian and the others sneered in jest, even though the broom and mop were right behind them, they claid not to have them.
And Yu Jiayi knew what they ant; she huffed displeasedly before stripping off her shirt and crouching down to start cleaning the floor.
