Chapter 59: These Two Women Are Beyond Saving
Seeing Gu Yuena sitting next to him, Aotian frowned and said, "Aren't there still three empty beds over there? Why are you squeezing in here?"
Before Gu Yuena could speak, Xiao Wu spoke first. "Sister Na'er wants to sleep with me. Is that a problem? Are you afraid we'll molest you?"
Xiao Wu's bold words instantly left all the boys in the dormitory dumbfounded.
Aotian pointed to where Gu Yuena was sitting. "Since you're sharing a bed, she's already crossed the line."
Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue at Aotian. "I've never seen such a petty boy."
Gu Yuena shifted closer to Xiao Wu. "Xiao Wu, don't talk about Ao... Tian like that."
Tang San, who was across from them, couldn't stand it anymore. He used to constantly tell himself that Aotian was just a child, and that things like appearance and wealth were fleeting. But now, he actually felt a trace of jealousy toward Aotian.
Why was he born with a golden spoon in his mouth, possessing an appearance and cultivation talent favored by heaven? Why... was he so indifferent to that ethereal, fairy-like girl?
This trace of jealousy was just a fleeting thought, and he quickly suppressed it deep in his heart. He understood that it was wrong to be jealous of a child, as it would affect his state of mind and his cultivation.
Tang San stood up and walked to the foot of Aotian's bed. Looking at Aotian, who was leaning against the headboard, he said, "Aotian, a year ago, you made a bet with my teacher. The stakes were that if my teacher won, you would have to become his disciple. If you won, my teacher would have to admit his theories had flaws. I've already arranged it with my teacher; let's have our battle this afternoon."
Aotian said, "Whatever you decide is fine."
Whispers and discussions had already started inside the dormitory, and everyone looked a bit excited.
"I heard Tang San has already reached Level 16, ascending six levels in a single year. What a peerless genius!"
"Holy crap, is Tang San really that formidable? If I had known, I would have gotten on better terms with him last semester."
"He's just that powerful. With this talent, I doubt you could find many like him on the Douluo Continent."
"..."
Listening to the other students' discussions, Tang San couldn't help but let the corner of his mouth curl up slightly. In truth, after he absorbed his soul ring, he had directly jumped from Level 10 to Level 13. However, only Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo of the Spirit Hall, himself, and his teacher knew about this.
So, to others, he had cultivated from Level 10 to Level 16 in just one year, which was simply terrifying to many.
Tang San's gaze fell on Aotian's face, wanting to see what his reaction would be. To his disappointment, however, Aotian's expression didn't change in the slightest; he didn't even spare him a glance.
Tang San's gaze then fell on Gu Yuena, who wasn't far from Aotian, wanting to see if this girl, who seemed to care about nothing, would be surprised after hearing about his talent.
However, he saw the girl looking at him with a face full of killing intent.
Gu Yuena said coldly, "Who is your teacher?"
Tang San felt a cold aura wash over him. The weather seemed to instantly plunge into deep winter, and his body couldn't help but shiver.
He was somewhat puzzled, but he still replied, "Everyone calls my teacher 'Grandmaster'."
Gu Yuena's voice was icy. "What damn Grandmaster? Is he worthy of being Aotian's teacher? I'll go kill him right now."
After speaking, she stood up, about to get off the bed.
In her opinion, someone wanting to take Senior Aotian as a disciple was a direct insult to him, an unforgivable offense!
Tang San was suddenly bewildered. *You can say he's unworthy, that's fine. But why do you have to kill my teacher? Besides, you're just a little girl. Can you even kill a Level 29 Great Soul Master?*
At this moment, he suddenly felt a bit disappointed with Gu Yuena. Pretty she might be, and her temperament was unmatched, but she was arrogant and conceited.
*Hmm... quite similar to Aotian's personality,* Tang San thought.
Seeing Gu Yuena stand up, brimming with killing intent, Aotian said calmly, "Sit down."
Gu Yuena, who was about to get off the bed, froze. She turned her head and said, "That person is unworthy of being your teacher."
"I know."
"Then why did you still..."
Aotian said helplessly, "Just don't concern yourself with this matter."
"Oh." Gu Yuena obediently sat back down. Since Senior Aotian had said so, she surmised that the person called Grandmaster must have something extraordinary about him, which was why Senior Aotian would make a bet with him.
Tang San stood there, once again feeling the pain of being ignored. He turned around in a huff and exited the dormitory.
Rather than getting angry with a few brats here, he might as well go to his teacher's place and read more books to increase his theoretical knowledge.
When afternoon came, he would see just what progress Aotian had made...
Seeing Tang San leave, Aotian shook his head and smiled, then looked at Gu Yuena and asked, "How did you meet Tang San?"
"Tang San? Who's that?" Gu Yuena asked, a bewildered expression on her face.
Xiao Wu quickly answered, "That's the one who was just speaking! Didn't he introduce himself when he brought you here?"
Gu Yuena thought for a moment. "I think he did, but I didn't remember. He's just a minor character; he's not worthy of me remembering his name."
Aotian found it both amusing and exasperating. The Dragon King truly was blunt. It was a good thing Tang San was gone; otherwise, he would have been angered to the point of collapse.
Aotian said, "He is indeed just an insignificant person right now, but without me, he will grow into someone even you would need to fear in the future."
Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is his talent very good?"
Aotian nodded. "Enough to become an existence like the Asura God."
"Asura God!" Killing intent appeared on Gu Yuena's pretty face. Back then, the Dragon God had been split in two by the Asura God's sword, which led to the Soul Beasts' utter defeat...
Gu Yuena suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going now?" Aotian asked.
"To kill that person called Tang San."
"..." Xiao Wu.
"You're not going," Aotian said.
"Why?" Gu Yuena asked, bewildered. Such a huge threat, shouldn't he be eliminated as soon as possible?
"Because I'm here."
"I understand." Gu Yuena sat down. She realized her concern had clouded her judgment. With Senior Aotian here, what was there to worry about?
The other boys in the dormitory watched Gu Yuena's erratic behavior and wild ravings. They were all a bit disappointed, wondering if there was something wrong with this pretty girl's head.
"Oh, right." Aotian suddenly remembered something. "How did you get into Nuoding Academy? Don't you need a Martial Soul Certificate and a work-study student slot to get in?"
Gu Yuena glanced at the others in the dormitory, a somewhat guilty look on her face, and whispered, "It was Xiao Wu's idea. She had me sneak into the Spirit Hall and forge a certificate."
Aotian looked at Xiao Wu. "Well done, Xiao Wu. Taking the Dragon King to commit theft, and in the Spirit Hall of all places... You've got some nerve. Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"
"I..." Xiao Wu was about to argue, but as soon as she met Aotian's gaze, she wilted. "I know I was wrong. You can punish me."
Gu Yuena said, "Xiao Wu, you did nothing wrong. If you hadn't taught me these things, we would have starved on the road long ago. I wouldn't have been able to get in here and stay by Ao... Tian's side."
"Sister Na'er, really?" Xiao Wu looked innocently at Gu Yuena.
"Really," Gu Yuena nodded solemnly.
"..." Aotian.
*These two women... they're beyond saving...*
