As they drew closer, the voices became clearer and clearer.
"Shi Tian, what exactly are you trying to do? I don't think I've ever offended you, have I?"
Inside the hotel, a little boy dressed all in white, with short golden hair and golden eyes, was staring unpleasantly at another boy before him. He was exceptionally handsome, even somewhat delicate-looking, while the other boy stood a full head taller than him, broad and powerfully built, with blue hair, blue eyes, thick brows, and large eyes—though his looks were fairly ordinary.
"Yue Kong, I already told you to stay away from Xiao Ying! Why are you still going near her?!"
Facing the little boy named Yue Kong, Shi Tian thrust out a thick arm and pointed at him, his face full of fury.
Quite a few boys and girls had already gathered around them, discussing the matter in hushed voices.
Thanks to the "explanations" from the surrounding spectators, Bai Ye more or less understood what had happened.
It turned out that Shi Tian came from the Shi Family of the Rock Giant family in Hagen Dazs Royal City, Hagen Dazs Kingdom. His martial soul was an Ice Rock Giant mutated from a Rock Giant, and his Innate Soul Power had reached Level 9!
Even in all of Spirit City, he counted among the most elite batch of geniuses, second only to Bai Ye.
As for Xiao Ying, she was a girl whose full name was Mu Ying. She too came from Hagen Dazs Royal City in Hagen Dazs Kingdom. Her martial soul was Green Wood Vine, and her Innate Soul Power was Level 7. She had known Shi Tian since childhood and could be considered his childhood sweetheart.
But unlike in novels—
Since Shi Tian was not the type most girls liked, Mu Ying only saw him as a friend.
However, because Mu Ying was sweet and adorable, their years of growing up together had long made Shi Tian deeply fall for her.
Who could have expected that after the two joined Spirit Hall and came to Spirit City—
Mu Ying would unexpectedly meet Yue Kong.
Yue Kong was exceptionally handsome, with a delicate temperament. He was somewhat like a pretty boy—oh, no! A pretty boy.
And compared to the hot-tempered Shi Tian, Yue Kong also had a good personality and got along especially well with Mu Ying. This made Mu Ying grow increasingly close to Yue Kong, and Shi Tian could no longer stand it.
From the surrounding discussions, Bai Ye also learned that Yue Kong's martial soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and his Innate Soul Power had also reached Level 9. He was a genius on the same level as Shi Tian.
His surname is Yue, and his martial soul is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Could he be related to Yue Guan?
Hearing about Yue Kong, Bai Ye could not help thinking to himself.
In the original novel, it seemed there had never been any mention of Yue Guan having relatives or anything like that. But in a real world, that was clearly impossible!
Unless Yue Guan's martial soul had mutated from an ordinary chrysanthemum martial soul, he definitely had parents.
And if he had parents, then one could trace further back to even more relatives.
Moreover, Yue Guan's knowledge of immortal herbs showed that his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could not possibly have mutated from an ordinary chrysanthemum martial soul. It had to be an inherited family martial soul.
So there was clearly a family behind Yue Guan!
"Shi Tian, what are you doing?! Didn't I already tell you not to cause trouble for Yue Kong anymore?!"
"Just because Yue Kong and I are close, you're going to cause trouble for him? Then does that mean I can't be friends with any boys except my father from now on?"
"You're nothing to me! Even my father doesn't control me like this, so what gives you the right to control me?!"
As Shi Tian and Yue Kong faced off, a little girl in a green dress strode over, clenching her tiny fists. Her sleek black hair was tied into twin ponytails, and her delicate, pretty face was full of anger.
Well, Shi Tian has probably shot himself in the foot!
Shi Tian wanted to threaten Yue Kong into staying away from his childhood sweetheart Mu Ying, hoping to make Mu Ying change her mind. But Bai Ye knew that forcing things like this would most likely backfire.
And now that Mu Ying had come over—
From her words, Bai Ye immediately saw that Mu Ying was probably usually the obedient sort of girl. But having long been controlled by her parents, she had always harbored a desire to rebel deep inside.
Shi Tian was forcibly trying to break Yue Kong and Mu Ying apart, and the possessiveness he displayed was even stronger than that of Mu Ying's parents.
She had finally escaped her parents and thought life would become easier from then on.
Yet Shi Tian, who was merely a friend, acted even more controlling than her parents.
Not only would this never make Mu Ying change her mind, it would instead make her dislike Shi Tian even more and further stir up her rebelliousness.
Even if Mu Ying had not liked Yue Kong to begin with and only saw him as a friend, she might still end up with Yue Kong out of defiance.
Not to mention that, from Bai Ye's perspective—
Mu Ying very likely did like pretty boys like Yue Kong, with their handsome looks and delicate temperaments!
This suddenly made Bai Ye a little envious.
Being handsome really does make you a winner in life. The goddesses others dream of being with will give their hearts to handsome guys with ease. That's the youth of so many boys!
After gaining powerful talent and the System's help, Bai Ye had never cared much about his appearance. He looked decent enough, with clear features and bright eyes.
But at that moment, Bai Ye suddenly wanted a devastatingly handsome face too!
