Fog grass? Shameless scoundrel!

Ye Xian'er disliked such occasions and introductions. She had intended to quietly sit among the instructors, or even just watch Ye Tianyi's assessment from the back of the crowd. However, the Dean insisted on introducing her this way, and she had no choice. Ye Xian'er then walked out and stepped up to the microphone, giving a slight bow to everyone.

"It is an honor to return to Heavenly Water Academy today. I thank the Dean for his cultivation over the years. I hope everyone can become a strong individual capable of standing on their own. Thank you."

With those simple words, Ye Xian'er stepped aside to stand quietly amidst even louder cheers.

"Ye Xian'er! I'm seeing her for the first time. I'd only seen photos before, and that was years ago. She's even more beautiful now, goodness! Especially those light blue eyes, they're stunning!"

"I heard Ye Tianyi has arrived at Heavenly Water Academy. Will Ye Tianyi also be participating in the assessment today? Could it be that Ye Xian'er came just to watch Ye Tianyi's assessment?"

"Pfft, what's there to see? He's rumored to be nineteen and still at Qi Foundation Realm Fifth Order. A piece of trash. My eight-year-old brother is at a higher realm than him. Isn't Ye Xian'er here to laugh at Ye Tianyi?"

"..."

"Today, your assessment will also be conducted by your Senior Sister Bai Hanxue, and Senior Brother Lin Changtian. These are all the most outstanding students of our academy, and the ones I am most proud of."

Li Boren said with a beaming face. The only thing he regretted was Ye Xian'er. She had an immeasurable future, but she was held back by that Ye Tianyi.

Then came another wave of screams and cheers! This time, the girls' screams even drowned out the boys'! This was because two exceptionally handsome young men were present: Lin Changtian, a suitor of Bai Hanxue, and another named Qin Chao.

However, when it came to looks, Ye Tianyi had never lost to anyone. Here at Heavenly Water Academy, Ye Tianyi had directly entered the School Hunk Ranking at third place. The top two were Qin Chao and Lin Changtian, in that order.

Given Ye Tianyi's terrible reputation and his despised persona, the fact that he could still be voted third on the School Hunk Ranking by the young ladies of Heavenly Water Academy showed just how handsome he was. Below were a pile of comments from girls swooning over him. Most said that if Ye Tianyi weren't a scumbag, they would definitely marry him. Some, deeply infatuated with Ye Tianyi's looks, even said that even if he were a scumbag, they'd still want him to "prick" them.

So, if Ye Tianyi's reputation were better, first place on the School Hunk Ranking would have been incredibly easy for him.

But the comments for the other two were more like, "Started with looks, loyal to character."

"The assessment is about to begin. According to the order, the four assessors will take their positions. Students of Beginner Class, First Section, prepare yourselves."

Then, Ye Xian'er and the other three walked towards the distance.

"Xian'er, let's grab a meal together sometime."

Qin Chao smiled and followed Ye Xian'er, saying this.

Ye Xian'er was about to refuse when he continued, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will bully your brother at Heavenly Water Academy."

"No need. I believe that as long as he's willing to work hard, no one will dare to bully him."

Ye Xian'er always held infinite expectations for Ye Tianyi.

"But... your brother doesn't seem to like cultivating very much..."

"He's been slowly improving. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Qin."

Ye Xian'er said faintly, then quickened her pace and walked away.

Qin Chao had been in love with Ye Xian'er since the day she arrived at Heavenly Water Academy. Like Lin Changtian, he was a Heaven's Chosen from Heavenly Water Holy City, the eldest son of one of the Four Great Families, and held a high position. Yet, even after the Ye family fell, he still couldn't win her heart after a long time. But in his heart, Ye Xian'er was destined to be his woman.

"Young Master Qin hasn't given up yet?"

Lin Changtian walked over with a smile.

"What business is it of yours? You should chase Bai Hanxue first."

"Bai Hanxue already clarified that she has no relationship with Ye Tianyi."

"No relationship? I saw with my own eyes that she kissed Ye Tianyi on her own initiative!"

Qin Chao sneered.

"There must be a misunderstanding. You could tell from the angry look in Hanxue's eyes at the time! I will definitely not let Ye Tianyi off the hook. I hope you, who likes his Older Sister, won't interfere just to please Ye Xian'er."

Qin Chao didn't say anything else and walked away.

"Hmph! Ye Tianyi, you're only at the Qi Foundation Realm Fifth Order, you trash, and you dare to participate in the assessment? You're just embarrassing yourself and Ye Xian'er in front of so many people!"

Lin Changtian said coldly.

This assessment, with the presence of the two School Hunks Qin Chao and Lin Changtian, plus the controversial scumbag Ye Tianyi, and the two academy's top School Belles Ye Xian'er and Bai Hanxue, would normally not attract much attention. However, this time it attracted many people from the Intermediate Class, Advanced Class, and even the backyard!

The academy's Beginner Class, Intermediate Class, and Advanced Class were completely separate campuses with little interaction. The only thing that could break this situation was the appearance of a School Belle. Heavenly Water Academy was no exception. Especially today, with Ye Xian'er present. Everyone knew the name Ye Xian'er, but few had seen her. Everyone wanted to see her. Coupled with the rumor that Ye Tianyi was Ye Xian'er's brother, it drew even more attention to her.

Seeing her today, they were indeed not disappointed.

The assessment was simple: talent assessment. Everyone had been tested for talent before, but this was the procedure. Talent was innate, but it didn't mean it wouldn't change. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with following the procedure for every assessment.

Shi Jiayi stood in front of the students of Class Ten.

"Dear students, you must do your best in the assessment. Come, let's cheer ourselves on. One, two, three, sing with me!"

Shi Jiayi was in high spirits.

"Teacher Shi, this... let's not."

Huo Shui said helplessly.

As the two women in the entire academy who cared the least about their reputation, Shi Jiayi and Huo Shui, everyone was used to them. But Huo Shui was no match for Shi Jiayi. Huo Shui was called a Witch, while Shi Jiayi was called an Enchantress. Not bewitching, but a monstrous prodigy! This person was a monstrous prodigy!

"Not what? Everyone clear your throats, sing it out, cheer yourselves and your classmates on. Ye Tianyi, if you don't know how to sing, just hum along. One, two, three, let's go!"

Shi Jiayi was like a music conductor, waving her arms. Everyone stared at the scene in a daze.

Then, in a quiet, tense, and solemn atmosphere, the students of Class Ten sang at the top of their lungs under everyone's bewildered gaze...

Let us row the oars

The mentor is the most beautiful queen

She's beautiful and her voice is sweet, we all like her

Her kind heart is an example for everyone

Everyone: ???

Ye Tianyi: ???

Damn?

Shameless Scoundrel!
