Chapter 180: The Jealous Jia Nan Academy, Two Shocked Women
As Xun'er smiled sweetly, basking in her happiness, and Wu Tian looked completely intoxicated with her presence, Xiao Yu and Ruo Lin suddenly felt an unfamiliar, uncomfortable sensation rise in their hearts.
Jealousy…
They admitted it they were jealous…
Meanwhile, on the distant viewing platform, Bai Shan's usual gentle smile had completely vanished, his expression turning frighteningly dark.
"Xiao Xun'er… since when did she become this bold? Kissing him in front of everyone? Just to declare ownership over him? What's so great about him?!"
The red clad girl furrowed her elegant brows in anger. If not for the elder beside her grabbing her wrist, she would have already charged forward to break those two apart.
More importantly, she was growing increasingly curious about Wu Tian.
Even Xun'er was this in love with him what was so special about him? What had drawn Xun'er in?
She didn't realize that this curiosity was extremely dangerous.
For a woman, such thoughts were no different from a fish biting a baited hook in the sea.
No matter how much it struggled, it wouldn't escape the fisherman's net especially when that fisherman had the nickname King of the Sea.
Wu Tian gently tightened his arms around Xun'er's slender waist, inhaling the faint fragrance of her silky hair.
Since she had openly declared her claim on him in public, what reason did he have to hold back?
Despite the fiery gazes around him, he showed no hesitation. Tenderly stroking Xun'er's soft hair, he lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her forehead.
This scene was enough to send waves of jealousy rippling through the female students, their faces flushing red.
A couple this affectionate… in front of everyone?
How lucky…
"Ahem."
Unable to bear the intensity of the stares any longer, Ruo Lin finally cleared her throat.
After all, Wu Tian was a student from her Huang Class, Second Group. If he continued showing off his love so openly, it would surely spark unnecessary gossip.
And from her perspective, she couldn't allow this trend to spread if all her students started behaving like this, how would she ever maintain order in her class?
Just imagine standing at the podium teaching, only to look down and see nothing but pairs of love struck couples flirting with each other.
That would drive her insane.
Hearing the cough, Xun'er, who had been leaning against Wu Tian like a delicate bird, finally snapped out of her lovestruck daze.
The moment she realized how bold her actions had been, a deep blush spread across her refined, lotus like face.
Flustered, she quickly stepped out of Wu Tian's embrace but she didn't leave his side.
Instead, she gently wrapped her slender arms around Wu Tian's arm, pressing herself lightly against him like a shy mimosa flower.
Seeing this little act of coquetry, Wu Tian chuckled softly, then turned to the exasperated Ruo Lin with an awkward smile.
"Hehe~ Sorry, Mentor Ruo Lin. I didn't arrive too late, did I?"
"Oh, so now you remember I'm your mentor?"
Ruo Lin shot him a sidelong glance, her tone filled with mild annoyance.
Seeing her expression, Wu Tian let out a helpless chuckle.
He knew that this soft spoken, gentle woman was angry but he had no idea why.
"Hmph! Didn't you say you'd be taking a few months off? Why are you back after just one?"
Ruo Lin pouted and glared at him.
The audience watching them was utterly stunned.
Was this really Mentor Ruo Lin?
The always gentle, graceful, and elegant Mentor Ruo Lin?
Why did she suddenly seem so… different?
"Mentor, now that Wu Gan is back on time, don't be too hard on him," Xiao Yu stepped in to mediate.
"Besides, he just defeated Xue Beng. As long as he and Xun'er don't lose in the Inner Academy selection tournament, you'll be promoted to a Xuan Class mentor."
The audience was stunned yet again.
Another beauty Xiao Yu, the goddess with the most coveted legs in the Outer Academy was also defending Wu Gan?
At that moment, the entire Outer Academy of Jia Nan Academy became bitterly jealous.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ruo Lin's slightly angry expression softened. She glanced at Xiao Yu, then at Wu Tian.
"Fine. But if you lose in the competition, I will settle the score with you later. You'd better be prepared!"
Wu Tian: Settle the score?
What score?
You're already beautiful enough what else are you planning to show me?
…Wait, where exactly am I supposed to be looking?
Doesn't matter.
Since Xiao Yu had spoken up for him, he'd reward her with a gentle smile.
And then…
Xiao Yu's lovely face turned red, and her long, sexy legs fidgeted slightly, her shyness making her even more alluring.
It was hard to believe that these very legs were rumored to have a "bulletproof reflex kick."
"Alright, enough. If you two want to be affectionate, get a private room!"
"Your match is over. Come with me for now! The real battles in the selection tournament are still ahead getting into the Inner Academy won't be easy!"
Ruo Lin waved her hand helplessly before leading the way out of the plaza.
Wu Tian and Xun'er exchanged a glance and smiled in unison no words were needed.
Their actions only further infuriated the single men watching them.
Their smiles clearly said, "We're off to a private room to be intimate."
As they left the noisy plaza, Ruo Lin shooed away the love struck female students who were trying to cling to Wu Tian.
She then led Wu Tian, Xun'er, and Xiao Yu through several winding, shaded pathways before finally stopping at an elegant residence.
Once inside, she gestured for them to sit anywhere.
Only then did she turn to Wu Tian with a playful smile.
"Wu Gan, be honest just how strong have you become? Even I couldn't sense your power earlier."
Wu Tian shrugged casually.
"I broke through to seven star Dou Ling while crossing the Black Corner Region."
"What? Seven star Dou Ling?!"
Ruo Lin and Xiao Yu both jumped up in shock.
Meanwhile, Xun'er remained perfectly calm she had already thoroughly "communicated" with her dear Wu Tian brother last night.
Having gained deep insight into him, nothing about his strength surprised her anymore.
Wu Tian spread his hands. "Yeah! I level up fast."
The two women were so stunned they collapsed back into their seats, momentarily unable to process what they had just heard.
By the time they recovered, Wu Tian had already stood up.
He spoke casually, "Xun'er and I will make it into the Inner Academy. Even that old white bearded elder felt my strength it's inevitable. And Mentor Ruo Lin, you will become a Xuan Class mentor."
Ruo Lin nodded.
A seven star Dou Ling… how could he not make it into the Inner Academy?
But as she looked at him, she suddenly realized
Wu Gan seemed far more eager to get "intimate" with Xun'er than anything else.
She had initially brought him here to warn him about Bai Shan and that little witch in red.
But now?
It was Bai Shan and that little witch who needed to be worried.
