Ye Tianyi was completely dumbfounded!
Big bro, had you gotten so absorbed in novels that you'd lost your mind? King's Return? He was just a good-for-nothing!
But... one thing he said was quite right. Although Ye Tianyi could not exactly be called a king returning now, at the very least, he was no longer that good-for-nothing! And with cultivation talent of this level, he was surely already stepping onto the path toward becoming a king.
Everyone found it utterly ridiculous, yet there would always be some who pondered it carefully, such as Huo Shui...
"Damn! Could it actually be true? What this fat guy said does make some sense. The Ye Family really was wiped out by unknown people. If Ye Tianyi was a genius, and he was still so young back then, hiding himself really would have been the best choice."
"No way? Is it really that dog blood? I don't believe it! But... Ye Xian'er is Ye Tianyi's older sister. As her younger brother, with the same bloodline, how could he possibly be a good-for-nothing? Even the Bloodline Theory doesn't make sense. Could it really be..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen! There was finally someone more useless than this young master, I don't believe it! Not listening, not listening!"
"..."
Some people began chattering among themselves.
Huo Shui furrowed her delicate brows as she thought.
Could it be true?
It really was possible. From the very first time she saw Ye Tianyi, she had felt that his gaze, his words, and that confidence at the corner of his lips were not things a normal good-for-nothing should possess... Even she, the Little Demoness, felt somewhat powerless before him. She could not prank him. During her time at Heavenly Water Academy, only Shi Jiayi had made her feel this way. The other little brats her age were truly little brats in her eyes; pranking them was no fun at all. Of course, she only pranked men who lusted after her beauty.
As for this Ye Tianyi...
She could not see through him.
Shi Jiayi also felt that it was truly possible! Yet among everyone present, aside from Ye Tianyi himself, there were two people who knew it was absolutely impossible: Ye Xian'er and Bai Hanxue. Only the two of them knew Ye Tianyi was genuinely scum, and only the two of them knew he was not a member of the Ye Family, but an abandoned infant adopted when he was very young.
Everyone's gazes followed Li Bang's question toward Ye Xian'er.
For a moment, Ye Xian'er did not know how to answer.
Ye Tianyi was truly helpless! But Li Bang's words had indeed plunged everyone around them into deep thought. On the surface, none of them believed it, but deep down, there had to be a trace of doubt. Especially since Bai Hanxue had taken the initiative to kiss Ye Tianyi yesterday, and even let Ye Tianyi kiss her. Though she later clarified that she and Ye Tianyi were not boyfriend and girlfriend, she gave no further explanation. It was truly impossible to understand why that had happened yesterday. So now, people began to speculate: could it be because Ye Tianyi really had been hiding himself, and Bai Hanxue knew how outstanding he was, so she was dating him?
It was very possible.
Ye Xian'er then said softly, "I don't wish to say much about the Ye Family's Matters. As for Xiao Yi... those are his own affairs. I believe he can do better in the future."
Ye Xian'er's words left everyone scratching their heads. So was he a king returning, or what exactly?
Li Bang always felt that was the case.
At that moment, Qin Chao stepped forward and said, "Everyone, there is no need for further speculation. The Ye Family incident has always been an unsolved mystery of Heavenly Water Holy City, as well as one of our regrets. I have continued investigating this matter over the years. As for Ye Tianyi..."
Qin Chao's gaze fell on Ye Tianyi, and he said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will surely be destroyed by the wind. I like that saying very much. I believe everyone wishes to become that tree. At the same time, I also hope that you, Ye Tianyi, truly have been hiding yourself all these years, because I really want to fight you."
Everything he said was really meant for Ye Xian'er to hear.
Ye Tianyi shrugged and said, "Sorry, but I also wish I were some genius who had been hiding himself all these years. What a pity."
Hearing Ye Tianyi's words, everyone could not help laughing.
They had really been worried that he had hidden himself all these years. So he had not. He really was a good-for-nothing.
"What a pity about what?"
Qin Chao asked with a smile.
"What a pity..."
Ye Tianyi raised his head, swept his gaze over everyone, and said calmly, "I once thought I was a genius. What a pity that I later discovered... I was actually a god."
Everyone: "..."
"Ding... You successfully made thirteen young ladies cry from your handsomeness. Swagger Value +130000." "Ding... You successfully made three young ladies faint from your handsomeness. Swagger Value +210000."
Truly, with Ye Tianyi's Appearance Value, the attention focused on him at that moment, and that line which seemed calm and composed yet was actually earth-shaking and grand enough to encompass the world, more than a dozen young ladies were directly moved to tears by his handsomeness.
That was right. Sometimes, when someone was handsome, it truly was that unsolvable.
Ye Tianyi had figured it out. How did this Scumbag System earn Swagger Value? Flirting with young ladies, feeling up young ladies, taking advantage of young ladies—anyway, anything a bad man did could increase it. And bringing emotional changes to young ladies, even happiness, anger, and so on... could also increase Swagger Value!
Hearing Ye Tianyi's words, several people could not help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.
He was a god?
"Hello, Senior Sister Bai Hanxue. Is my face sweet? Do you like me?"
Ye Tianyi greeted Bai Hanxue beside the stage with a smile.
"Ding... Flirting with a young lady in public. Swagger Value +50000."
Everyone: "..."
"Damn! Isn't Ye Tianyi being way too lawless? He actually flirted with Senior Sister Bai Hanxue in front of the entire school?"
"I really want to stab him to death! Fuck!"
"Is the academy not going to do anything about this?"
"..."
Bai Hanxue's expression immediately darkened. Ye Xian'er also glanced at her, then looked at Ye Tianyi reproachfully.
"I do."
Bai Hanxue said lightly.
Everyone: ???
Li Boren: ???
Ye Xian'er: ???
Shi Jiayi: ???
Bai Hanxue: ???
Bastard! Why? Why had she once again said the opposite of what she wanted to say in her heart? Why exactly? No, why did she even respond to him?
She only responded because remaining silent and refusing to answer before everyone would have been impolite.
Li Boren was stunned. Yesterday, when he heard that Ye Tianyi and Bai Hanxue had been intimate, he absolutely had not believed it. But now...
Ye Xian'er was even more shocked. What had happened over these past few days?
Ye Tianyi felt that he was truly risking his life for this Swagger Value.
Lin Changtian clenched his fists tightly! What exactly was going on!
"Love you, heart gesture."
Ye Tianyi grinned and made a heart gesture at Bai Hanxue.
Bai Hanxue coldly turned her head away!
She did not care about things like reputation. The innocent would remain innocent. She was simply angry! Extremely angry.
"Ahem... Quiet. This is an assessment. We can discuss such matters later. And you, Ye Tianyi, mind the occasion. I don't care who you are, nor do I care what your past conduct or reputation was like. At Heavenly Water Academy, you are a student of Heavenly Water Academy, and you must obey the rules."
Li Boren said to Ye Tianyi.
"Alright, Dean. It's just... I don't know how my result is supposed to be counted. Or could you let me try again? I just don't know whether you still have any Star Fortune Stones?"
Everyone: "..."
Hearing Ye Tianyi's words, Li Boren could not help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
He truly did not understand why Ye Tianyi could always make Star Fortune Stones explode. He had never studied this field.
"This matter requires long-term consideration."
"Alright, then."
Ye Tianyi shrugged, made another heart gesture at Bai Hanxue, and walked down.
"Han Xue, what's going on?"
Ye Xian'er asked Bai Hanxue beside her in a low voice, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"We'll talk this afternoon."
She had enormous objections toward Ye Tianyi, but she and Ye Xian'er were still close friends. In fact, she also wanted to know from Ye Xian'er exactly how Ye Tianyi had done it.
"Hey, come to my place tonight."
When Shi Jiayi saw Ye Tianyi walk over, she secretly nudged him with her elbow and said it.
Ye Tianyi: ???
