Chapter 185: Encounter with Xiao Mei'er, Wu Tian's Awkward Moment
As an elder referee stood up to announce the results, the plaza remained eerily silent. Everything had happened far too quickly.
Everyone had expected an intense, fist to flesh battle, filled with thrilling exchanges.
Instead…
It felt like a complete joke.
One by one, contestants had been knocked out of the arena like dumplings being dropped into a pot some even voluntarily jumping out.
This wasn't a competition.
This was a one man performance.
The audience was utterly disappointed especially those who had come from Jia Nan City.
Not a single intense fight, not even between the female contenders? What was the point of coming here?!
If this weren't Jia Nan Academy, they definitely would have booed.
Boring, boring! This tournament was a waste of time!
Of course, none of them dared to say it out loud lest they be dragged away by the Law Enforcement Squad and "re educated."
Regardless, Wu Tian had successfully demonstrated what true power was to Jia Nan Academy's arrogant students.
The old fossils of the academy had achieved their goal.
Hu Gan, in particular, had secretly intended for this lesson to humble his precious granddaughter.
But Hu Jia…
"Hmph!"
"This bastard was hiding his true strength all along! He's not even a real man! Hmph, damn Wu Gan!"
Hu Jia bit her lip, her normally lively eyes now filled with frustration and the slightest hint of resentment.
Hu Gan, observing this, immediately understood what was happening.
As an experienced man, he knew exactly what this meant.
His heart felt bitter he didn't know whether to feel happy or worried.
My poor granddaughter…
For the first time in her life, she had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of a man.
A man who was her peer, who was stronger than her, and unfortunately was ridiculously handsome.
Her pride had been shattered.
How could she not develop feelings for him?
But Wu Gan and his world were far beyond her reach.
Even though Jia Nan Academy was powerful, compared to his woman's background?
We're nothing.
I can't handle this…
Sigh…
On the other side, Wu Hao clenched his fists as he watched Wu Tian walk away, still holding Xun'er close.
I will surpass him.
Meanwhile, Bai Shan who hadn't even gotten the chance to participate was still miserably bedridden.
Through gritted teeth, he swore,
"Wu Gan, I will make you pay in blood! One day, you will kneel before me and watch as Xun'er AH! PAIN!"
Sigh…
Yet another delusional idiot.
There was no saving him.
Of course, Wu Tian didn't give a damn about their petty thoughts.
He was the Guardian Spirit.
Why would he waste his time worrying about ants?
Strolling leisurely through the academy's tree lined paths with Xun'er beside him, Wu Tian was completely at ease.
If only his wife, Queen Medusa, were here then life would be perfect.
But it wouldn't be long now.
Days passed in the blink of an eye.
During that time, Wu Tian and Xun'er made a point to show off their love at every opportunity.
Every single day, they wandered around the academy and Jia Nan City, making absolutely sure that everyone had seen them together.
It was enough to drive people insane.
But the two of them?
They loved it.
They didn't care what others thought they enjoyed every second of it.
Morning: Walk around the academy.
Afternoon: Tour Jia Nan City.
Nighttime: …Well, let's just say they had deep philosophical discussions about the meaning of life.
For example:
"Wu Gan brother, why are your muscles so firm?"
Today was the long awaited day when the top five contestants would gain access to the academy's Library Pavilion.
Xun'er had been looking forward to it, but Wu Tian…
Not so much.
To him and his system even Heaven tier battle techniques were trash.
Of course, that was mostly the system's opinion.
Wu Tian just found it amusing that the system dismissed everything with, "Trash. Useless. Garbage."
As he casually made his way back from outside Jia Nan Academy, a cheerful voice suddenly called out
"Wu Gan brother!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Wu Tian looked up curiously.
And sure enough
There she was.
Someone he knew very well.
Too well.
Well enough to say that she had offered herself to him before, and he had rejected her.
Among a group of lively, beautiful young girls, one stood out like a star among the moonlight.
Xiao Mei'er.
She had once tried to throw herself at him in the Xiao Clan.
A girl with a dangerously seductive charm.
In terms of beauty, she was one of the most stunning women in Jia Nan Academy.
Yet, at this moment, her expression was unexpectedly shy.
Seeing Wu Tian again, she felt a rush of emotion.
Although she had failed to give herself to him last time, and she had long given up on trying
Her heart had never let go of him.
She knew they weren't from the same world.
She had tried to move on.
But deep down, he was the only one she had ever truly desired.
If Xun'er had openly declared her love for Wu Tian, constantly calling him "Wu Gan brother"…
Then Xiao Mei'er had buried her feelings deep inside.
Now, standing before him once more, she couldn't contain her joy.
Even though she had seen him in the tournament, she hadn't gotten the chance to speak to him.
Now, that opportunity had finally come.
"Ahh! Xiao Mei'er, he really is your brother!"
"He's coming this way !"
"Ahhh, I'm going to faint !"
The girls around her blushed furiously as Wu Tian approached.
To them, Wu Tian was an unparalleled idol.
Wu Tian smiled faintly.
"It's been a while. You've become even more beautiful."
His tone was calm.
But to Xiao Mei'er, it was everything.
Because in her heart Wu Tian was still the same Wu Tian.
The one she had never been able to forget.
"Wu Gan brother, you haven't changed. You're still as handsome as ever… and Mei'er still likes you just as much~"
She spoke with zero hesitation, her deep desire laid bare.
Wu Tian felt awkward as hell.
She still hasn't changed…?
Sigh…
Compared to Medusa's mature seduction…
Xiao Mei'er was still too young.
"Too fresh…"
"Ahem, well… Mei'er, I need to head to the Library Pavilion, so I'll get going. If you need anything, you can find me at Mentor Ruo Lin's place."
Flashing a polite smile, Wu Tian swiftly turned and escaped down a nearby path.
Xiao Mei'er smiled radiantly as she watched him leave.
Then, with a soft sigh, she turned and walked away.
However…
Moments later, Wu Tian walked back out from the very same path.
Looking up at the sign overhead, his expression turned stiff.
It read: "WOMEN'S AREA"
…
Forget it. I should just go find Xun'er and wait for the Library Pavilion visit.
Heh… soon, I'll enter the Inner Academy.
Fallen Heart Flame, you won't escape me.
…
Returning to Ruo Lin's residence, he found Xun'er waiting outside.
Her bright eyes lit up as she saw him.
"Wu Gan brother, where did you go? You didn't even bring Xun'er along!"
As she gazed at him, her cheeks suddenly turned red like a ripe apple.
Shyly, she murmured,
"Ahhh~ Wu Gan brother, you're so annoying~ The mentor is still waiting for you inside~ Hurry up and go in!"
