Chapter 172

Chapter 172: Chapter 171 After leaving the Archaeology Department building office, Ye Tianchen always couldn’t help but look back at the building because he always felt a powerful superpower emanating from it, especially when he first stood in front of it, he distinctly felt a super powerful superpower that even enveloped the building, which was quite shocking.

However, Ye Tianchen, holding Ling Yuxun’s hand, rushed in quickly and raced to the third floor, only to find that the powerful superpower suddenly disappeared without a trace, which shocked Ye Tianchen even more. Anyone who could control such powerful superpower so freely must be a master among masters.

"What’s wrong? Can’t bear to leave that beautiful advisor?" Ling Yuxun, seeing Ye Tianchen always looking back at the Archaeology Department building, couldn’t help but tease with a laugh.

Ye Tianchen snapped back to reality and suddenly felt that Ling Yuxun was really naive, sometimes adorably so. It wasn’t that he intended to deceive her, but the less she knew about these things, the safer she would be, especially since, in this day and age, the powerhouses of the Ancient Martial Sects and the masters of the Superpower World remained in a very mysterious state. Ordinary people gaining knowledge of their information could only bring harm and possibly even lead to fatal danger.

So initially, Ye Tianchen had pretended to be a lecher, as if he couldn’t wait to meet the beautiful advisor. Unexpectedly, Ling Yuxun actually believed it, and she still seemed somewhat convinced even now.

"That’s true, having such a beautiful advisor would indeed make me willing to come to school every day!" Ye Tianchen chuckled as he spoke.

Ling Yuxun looked at Ye Tianchen with disdain, originally thinking that he had changed from his previous frivolous self. She remarked fiercely, "With your emotional intelligence, it would be strange if the beautiful advisor liked you!"

"Well, that might not be the case. Maybe my charm will explode and, by sheer luck, a beauty will fall for me!" Ye Tianchen continued to tease Ling Yuxun.

"Hmm, I don’t have time for this. Let’s go check on Yaer; I wonder how her mom is doing now," Ling Yuxun said, still kind-hearted and good-natured, worrying about Xiao Ya.

"Hmm, what are you planning to treat us to for lunch?" Ye Tianchen grinned as he spoke.

"You... you’re a grown man, and you’re with two beautiful women, always thinking about having us treat you to meals. Aren’t you ashamed?" Ling Yuxun said almost to the point of breakdown and speechlessness.

"What’s there to be ashamed of? I treated you all to seafood for lunch, and last night Xiao Ya treated us to noodles. It’s your turn to treat this noon..." Ye Tianchen said with a serious expression.

"You... you... go to hell!" Ling Yuxun glared fiercely at Ye Tianchen, swayed her curvy hips, and with the click-clack of her high heels, she quickly walked towards the school gate, not wanting to walk with Ye Tianchen at all.

She had never seen someone so ungentlemanly and unlike a man before. It wasn’t that Ling Yuxun couldn’t afford a meal, but Ye Tianchen’s stinginess was unbearable. A man with neither emotional intelligence nor generosity, no wonder Luo Yan, Ye Tianchen’s mother, was worried her son would struggle to find a wife at just the age of twenty, which made a lot of sense!

Ye Tianchen chuckled and followed behind Ling Yuxun, heading together to the gate of Longteng University. Naturally, this attracted a lot of attention from male and female students. First, because of Ye Tianchen’s fame—being the only person dared to hit Xuanyuan Teng’s younger brother and survive the next day was something only Ye Tianchen could manage. Second, because of Ling Yuxun, a forthcoming beauty who would soon be one of the Four College Beauties of Longteng University, already had many fans. Many photos of her were crazily re-shared and commented on by male students and fanboys on the university’s campus network, increasing her popularity at Longteng University significantly.

"Isn’t that Ling Yuxun? Why does she look so angry?"

"The new campus beauty, true to form—so sexy and pretty. And that figure, drool-worthy indeed!"

"Look, isn’t that Ye Tianchen following her?"

"My god, is that the guy? Didn’t he just beat up Xuanyuan Teng’s younger brother? How come he’s with Ling Yuxun again?"

"Xuanyuan Teng, the young lord, must be furious. Ye Tianchen beat up his brother and now he’s wooing his girl too—both a slap in the face and a cuckolding, which man could tolerate that?"

The mischief-makers, putting on a face of pity and pretending to be in agony, expressed sympathy for Ye Tianchen, but more people were there for the drama, eager to see how this affair would end. Xuanyuan Teng was infamously untouchable at Longteng University; anyone who crossed him ended up severely injured, which had already shocked everyone sufficiently.

So basically, many people’s mindset was to see how Ye Tianchen would die this time. As far as challenges go, Ye Tianchen and Xuanyuan Teng were among the fiercest challengers. Ye Tianchen had beaten Xuanyuan Teng’s younger brother, Xuanyuan Yu, and now he was getting close to Ling Yuxun, the woman Xuanyuan Teng had been pursuing. It probably drove Xuanyuan Teng mad enough to spit blood. Xuanyuan Teng, as the young master, had always been quite dominant. Who dared to challenge him like this, and where would he put his face? How could he continue to mix at Longteng University?

Arriving at the entrance of Longteng University, Ling Yuxun didn’t bother with Ye Tianchen. She got into her sports car, started it up, and headed in the direction of Kyoto Hospital. Meanwhile, Ye Tianchen was riding his own motorcycle, revving it up in flip-flops, which made many students at the school gate utterly speechless.

Along the way, Ye Tianchen kept his motorcycle right beside Ling Yuxun’s sports car, occasionally teasing her. He knew Ling Yuxun might be really annoyed by him, so he kept on teasing her with a playful grin. Ling Yuxun, with a small face tightened up and lips pouted, was indeed very cute. She occasionally shot a glare at Ye Tianchen with her beautiful eyes and did not say a word.

"Haha, you looked just like this when you were mad as a kid. So many years later, you haven’t changed a bit?" Ye Tianchen said, laughing loudly.

"Hmph, big bully, it’s you who have changed. You weren’t this rogue before, it’s annoying..." Ling Yuxun said in annoyance.

"Before, it was because you were still young. Now you’ve become more and more beautiful. Which man wouldn’t be moved? I’m a man too, so teasing you a bit is very normal, isn’t it?" Ye Tianchen said loudly.

Hearing what Ye Tianchen said, Ling Yuxun didn’t understand why, but she found she couldn’t get angry at all. Could it be that deep down in her heart, she still had a fondness for Ye Tianchen from when they were kids? A girl can never forget the things from her childhood because that was when she had the most innocent heart, longing for the most pure love.

Seeing Ling Yuxun’s cheeks turn a bit red, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but smirk to himself, thinking, what a joke. When he was in the apocalypse, he was surrounded by top beauties. If he didn’t have any skills in winning a woman’s heart, how could he have won so many women’s favor?

But after being reborn in this life, Ye Tianchen wanted to live a peaceful and happy life with his family. As for love, he didn’t think too much about it. In a word, Ye Tianchen was a man with a rogue and Death God-like persona, impossible to judge with common sense. It was exactly this type of character that made many people unable to see through who Ye Tianchen really was.

"Well, since you actually said something sensible, I’ll pretend to forgive you!" Ling Yuxun said, pursing her lips at Ye Tianchen.

"What do you mean I actually said something sensible? It seems like you have been talking to me all along. Are you scolding yourself?" Ye Tianchen chuckled and said.

"Big bully!"

On the highway, Ling Yuxun’s cry rang out, and Ye Tianchen laughed loudly. The two rapidly drove toward Kyoto Hospital. Today was the first day of reporting, and Xiao Ya had not appeared at school, which made both Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun a bit worried. Could it be that Xiao Ya’s mother’s condition had worsened?

Ye Tianchen’s motorcycle was faster, mainly because he occasionally swerved to the side to tease Ling Yuxun, causing her to be unable to concentrate on driving. She ran several red lights, which was infuriating.

Ye Tianchen’s motorcycle was parked at the entrance of Kyoto Hospital, and right behind him came Ling Yuxun’s sportscar. The two entered Xiao Ya’s mother’s hospital room one after the other, only to find Xiao Ya asleep beside the bed, with her mother gently stroking her hair.

Seeing Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuxun walk in, Xiao Ya’s mother made a shushing gesture, signaling them not to wake Xiao Ya.

"Auntie, are you feeling better?" Ling Yuxun asked quietly.

"Much better, thank you. Yaer stayed up all night, keeping watch over me, afraid I would become ill. She just fell asleep a moment ago!" Xiao Ya’s mother said, smiling.

"Don’t worry, aunt, her illness will get better. I’ll figure out a way!" Ye Tianchen said confidently.

Xiao Ya’s mother sized up Ye Tianchen, genuinely feeling that this young man was good-hearted, sparing no effort for her well-being. If he truly liked Xiao Ya, she would not oppose their relationship. After all, her daughter had grown up and had her own life to live, her own path to follow, and her own family to have. Truly thoughtful parents would never want to be a burden or trouble to their children.

"Thank you! I heard from Yaer that you just met. She’s lucky to have made two good friends like you!" Xiao Ya’s mother nodded and said. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote at qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation.)
