"Sister Yao." Qin Wentian's eyes widened in a daze as he stared at that face. It was actually Qin Yao.
As though she sensed something, Qin Yao's gaze also shifted in the direction of Qin Wentian. The instant she saw Qin Wentian, her heart violently trembled. Her beautiful eyes flickered with an intense light, as though she wanted nothing more than to rush down and reunite with Qin Wentian.
Their gazes collided in mid-air. Qin Wentian reacted, as he took large strides towards Qin Wentian.
"No, now that Wentian is regarded highly by the Emperor Star Academy, it's better if I don't reunite with him. I don't want him to be dragged into this mess." Qin Yao's heart trembled as she saw Qin Wentian walking over. After which, she let down the curtains and commanded, "Hurry up."
As the sound of her voice faded, the speed of the group increased. Qin Wentian had already rushed into the crowd, dashing towards Qin Yao. However, he only saw a silhouette on a horse blocking his path, coldly stating, "Don't get close."
Qin Wentian's gaze froze. He could feel the aura of the person on the horse, but he knew that it was impossible for him to rush over.
"How could this be? Sister Yao saw me, but why did she pretend not to know me?" Qin Wentian stood there dumbfounded. The rider coldly glanced at Qin Wentian, and upon seeing that Qin Wentian didn't move, the rider turned and departed.
Very quickly, the silhouettes of the group disappeared, leaving Qin Wentian standing there in a daze.
"Are you acquainted with the person inside?" Fan Le walked over and asked. His gaze was still fixed on Qin Wentian as he nodded his head.
"I heard from the passersby that the person inside was one of the candidates for the Crown Prince's wife. Did you get the wrong person?" Fan Le mumbled.
"Snowcloud Country, there's no mistaking it. Sister Yao went to Snowcloud Country to cultivate at the start of the year. What exactly happened in these seven to eight months?" Qin Wentian's heart was in a state of chaos.
"Let's go." Filled with bewilderment, Qin Wentian turned and continued his journey in the direction of the Emperor Star Academy. As for the matter regarding Qin Yao, he was prepared to find out more about it. He had to find out what exactly was going on.
After Qin Wentian and Fan Le brought Little Rascal back to the Emperor Star Academy, they discovered that many people were looking at them with strange gazes, causing them to involuntarily feel suspicious. Although they could be considered somewhat famous in the Emperor Star Academy, the gazes of the crowd today were somewhat strange, as though they were filled with … pity.
"Qin Wentian is back."
"That guy went out to train for over two months. It is said that he secretly went to the Dark Forest. However, I'm afraid he's in for it this time."
Many people murmured in a low voice. The news of Qin Wentian's return to the Emperor Star Academy quickly circulated around.
When Qin Wentian returned to his residence, he found that there were many people outside, including Xinran.
"Xinran, why are you here?" Qin Wentian asked suspiciously.
"How did you guys offend Luo Qianqiu?" Xinran anxiously asked. Qin Wentian and Fan Le exchanged glances. Luo Qianqiu, they didn't seem to know who this person was.
"Twenty days ago, after Luo Qianqiu returned to the academy, he sent someone to pass a message to you, telling you to meet him." Xinran continued.
"Luo Qianqiu, could it be that Young Master Luo?" Qin Wentian mumbled. Back then, when he was fighting for the Blood Ember Fruits, Zhao Yi and Franklin appeared, saying that Young Master Luo was in the vicinity. Logan immediately offered the Blood Ember Fruits to him.
"Yes, it should be Luo Qianqiu. You guys really know how to cause trouble." "This Luo Qianqiu is a legendary character in the academy. His talent is exceedingly high. Back then, the various elders fought intensely to recruit him. With a cultivation base at the 7th level of Arterial Circulation, not many people dared to antagonize him. Even those from the Knight's Association were afraid of Luo Qianqiu, and never dared to offend him."
"I've already offended those from the Knight's Association. Since I can't avoid it, there's no need to worry about one more." Qin Wentian was extremely calm. This Luo Qianqiu was truly tyrannical. The Blood Ember Fruits he obtained in the Dark Forest already belonged to him.
And when he arrived at the academy, Luo Qianqiu actually came looking for trouble, asking him to meet him.
"You still haven't figured it out. This Luo Qianqiu is different from those from the Knight's Association. Those from the Knight's Association have their own considerations, but Luo Qianqiu is different. He has always done whatever he wants, and other than the fact that he hasn't killed anyone within the academy grounds, he has done everything in the past. Not only that, I heard that the power behind him is extremely terrifying." Xinran anxiously explained.
"It's good that you guys understand." At this moment, a voice drifted over. Qin Wentian and the rest turned around, only to see a person walking over. This person was none other than Franklin, who had appeared together with Zhao Yi back then.
"You two actually dared to steal the things belonging to Young Master Luo? Later on, bring the Blood Ember Fruits to the Asura Association and beg for forgiveness. Maybe, Young Master Luo will be lenient with the two of you."
Franklin stared at Qin Wentian and Fan Le. These two fellows and that dog were the ones who had stolen the Blood Ember Fruits cleanly.
"Steal?" Qin Wentian and Fan Le froze.
"The treasures in the Dark Forest belong to whoever obtained them. What do you mean by stealing? At that time, Luo Qianqiu wasn't even there. "Qin Wentian faintly replied. Wasn't the words of Franklin a little too ridiculous?
"Since Logan gifted the Blood Ember Fruits to Young Master Luo, it already belongs to Young Master Luo. No one else is allowed to touch it."
Seeing that Qin Wentian had actually refuted, Franklin couldn't help but coldly snort. "Don't think that just because you are valued by the academy, you have the qualifications to disobey Young Master Luo's orders. Young Master Luo can squash a character like Murong Feng to death with a single hand."
After which, Franklin flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. He continued, "If I don't see you within a day and you don't come and beg for forgiveness, you will have to bear the consequences. Young Master Luo's wrath is not something you can handle."
Qin Wentian stared at Franklin's departing back as a cold glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Even a lackey can be so arrogant. What a weirdo." Fan Le coldly remarked.
"Teacher and Sister Luo Huan, why are you here as well?" At this moment, Qin Wentian noticed two silhouettes in the distance. They were actually Mustang and Luo Huan.
"Little Junior Brother, you really know how to create trouble." Luo Huan smiled at Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to have a bitter smile on his face.
It seemed that this Luo Qianqiu was indeed extraordinary. If not, Teacher Mustang and Senior Sister Luo Huan wouldn't have appeared here.
"I didn't provoke him at all." Qin Wentian shrugged his shoulders as he explained what had happened.
"Blood Ember Fruit, no wonder." After hearing Qin Wentian's explanation, Luo Huan finally understood. Treasures were able to move people's hearts, especially the Blood Ember Fruit, which could aid Arterial Circulation Realm cultivators in breaking through to the next level.
"Wentian."
At this moment, Mustang's gaze shifted onto Qin Wentian as he slowly stated, "From the looks of it, there's no problem with your actions. On the contrary, you've already done very well. However, in this world, there's no such thing as absolute right or wrong. Everything depends on one's strength. I can only say that your luck is bad, to have encountered Luo Qianqiu."
"Luo Qianqiu." Qin Wentian muttered in a low voice. Back then, when he had offended Orchon, Mustang didn't even take him seriously. Evidently, in Mustang's eyes, Luo Qianqiu was even more important than Orchon.
"Wentian, since you've left the Sky Harmony City, you should understand this logic. Although the outside world is fascinating, it's also filled with dangers. Experts are as common as the clouds, and the number of disciples from the major powers is innumerable. Although your talent is extraordinary, it's not as easy as you imagine it to be for you to mature. How many geniuses have died prematurely in their youth?"
Mustang slowly explained to Qin Wentian, "And this is still within the academy. In the future, when you leave the academy and roam the continent, you'll discover that this is even more so. Sometimes, you have to endure."
"Teacher, if you have something to say, just tell Wentian. I understand." Qin Wentian bitterly smiled. He knew that Mustang wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Mustang would hurt his teacher's morale.
Mustang's countenance stiffened, before he nodded his head, "Go and see Luo Qianqiu. If there's anyone in the academy who dares to kill you, Luo Qianqiu would definitely be one of them."
Qin Wentian's eyes narrowed as he asked, "What is Luo Qianqiu's identity?"
"For now, there's no need for you to know." Mustang replied, "Luo Huan will accompany you. If there are any more Blood Ember Fruits, just give them to Luo Qianqiu."
Qin Wentian muttered to himself for a moment before nodding his head with a smile, "I will go and see him."
Qin Wentian understood that Teacher Mustang was doing this for his own good. Since Luo Qianqiu wanted him to go and see him, he would go.
"Since this is the case, if there's anything else, you can chat with Luo Huan. I'll take my leave first." Mustang spoke and left. Luo Huan gently tousled Qin Wentian's hair as she smiled, "Little Junior Brother, you've grown taller, and you seem even more handsome now."
Qin Wentian rolled his eyes as he bitterly smiled, "Senior Sister, I have something that I need your help with."
"What is it?" Luo Huan curiously inquired.
"Earlier, I saw my elder sister Qin Yao in the Royal Capital. Not only that, she came here together with people from Snowcloud, and it's said that … she's one of the candidates for the Crown Prince's Concubine. Senior Sister, can you investigate this matter?"
"Sure, leave this matter to me. I'll look for you tomorrow, and after that, I'll go and see Luo Qianqiu. How about it?"
"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded his head.
Luo Huan and Sheena also left, leaving behind only Fan Le and Qin Wentian. Fan Le stared at Qin Wentian as he asked, "Do you really want to go?"
"Didn't you see that even Teacher Mustang is here? Of course, I have to see him." Qin Wentian walked into the room, and Fan Le followed him in. Feeling somewhat depressed, he said, "Seems like in the future, I have to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots."
Qin Wentian understood Fan Le's meaning. If only they had sufficient strength back then, they would have been able to eliminate Logan, Franklin, and the others. Then, the current situation wouldn't have happened.
"What about the Blood Ember Fruits? Do you intend to hand them over?" Fan Le curiously stared at Qin Wentian. He knew that although Qin Wentian appeared casual on the surface, he was actually extremely prideful in his heart. If he went to apologize and still wanted to hand over the Blood Ember Fruits, he would definitely lose face.
Qin Wentian took out the remaining Blood Ember Fruits and threw them into his mouth, swallowing them in a single gulp. This caused Fan Le's expression to stiffen. This fellow was truly ruthless.
After swallowing the Blood Ember Fruits, Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a cold light. Let's hope that Luo Qianqiu wouldn't go too far. As for the Blood Ember Fruits, how could he possibly hand them over?
In this world, strength was the most important thing.
Without strength, what right do you have to be proud? Without strength, what right do you have to protect your dignity? Without strength, you can't even protect yourself, what right do you have to protect your family and friends?
