Athena's behavior made many warriors who regarded her as a cold and aloof goddess stare in disbelief.
So it turned out...
It wasn't that the goddess was cold and aloof.
She was only cold and aloof toward them.
Before warriors truly on her level, Athena was just as radiant and captivating.
Rather than treating them with icy indifference.
Ignoring the many gazes filled with jealousy, envy, and even hostility, Ye Fan directly extended his hand and shook Athena's.
"Blue Star—Ye Fan," he said loudly.
Ye Fan's answer made Athena's beautiful brows furrow for an instant.
Because...
This peerless prodigy before her, rumored to have illuminated ten Star Rivers,
seemed to be deliberately keeping a certain distance from her.
He even seemed to have little sense of belonging toward the Black Dragon Divine Hall.
Although she had previously heard about everything that had happened during the Supreme Trial,
she had only regarded Ye Fan as a rising star with limitless potential.
Yet she had never expected
that this young man would grow to such a level in only a few short years.
Moreover, his mind was mature and resolute!
Indeed.
Ye Fan's gratitude toward the Black Dragon Divine Hall extended only to the Saint Lotus Emissary and the Grand Hall Master, whom he had never met.
As for everyone else,
he felt nothing for them.
And without a doubt,
this beautiful Athena was making small talk under the Black Dragon Divine Hall's banner
because she wanted to tie him to the Black Dragon Divine Hall's chariot.
Perhaps even seek convenience for herself through him.
Of course, Ye Fan would not foolishly fall for her simply because she was beautiful and acted friendly.
"Hehe, Ye Fan.
I know that Big Brother Wuji is temporarily unable to come here due to certain circumstances.
