"This …" Murong Xue wanted to say something, but stopped.
"Xue 'er, what's there to hesitate about?" Yang Jian pressed.
"Senior brother Yang Jian, forgive me for my rudeness, but I'm not the person you're looking for," Murong Xue said through gritted teeth.
Yang Jian's expression darkened even further when he saw Murong Xue's reaction.
Before, he'd held onto a sliver of hope that Murong Xue had said those words out of shyness. But now, it seemed that shyness was nothing more than wishful thinking.
"Xue 'er, could it be that even with my status and strength, I, Yang Jian, am not worthy of you?" Yang Jian asked loudly.
"Senior brother Yang Jian, it's not that your status and strength are not good enough for me, it's just that …" Murong Xue didn't know what to say.
"It's just that what?" Yang Jian immediately pressed on.
"It's just that … it's just that I … I have someone I like," Murong Xue stuttered under Yang Jian's interrogation.
"What?!" Yang Jian cried out in disbelief when he heard this.
He'd never imagined that Murong Xue already had someone she liked.
"Then tell me, who is he?" Yang Jian asked slowly, staring at Murong Xue.
He wanted to see who had stolen Murong Xue away. No matter who it was, he had to take Murong Xue back. He, Yang Jian, couldn't allow something like that to happen. It wasn't just because he liked Murong Xue, it was also because he couldn't afford to lose face.
He was the dignified young master Yang Jian, the number one disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Academy. How could he let someone else steal the woman he wanted?
"He … he's Linlong," Murong Xue said frantically under Yang Jian's powerful aura.
She immediately regretted it. She'd completely pushed Linlong to the opposite side of Yang Jian.
Although the crowd had already expected this, they were still in an uproar when they heard Murong Xue's words.
"Linlong? Who's Linlong? " Yang Jian said coldly. A powerful aura surged out of his body, as if he were a ferocious beast about to devour someone.
"No, no, no … it's not him," Murong Xue said hurriedly.
She'd only pushed Linlong out because she wanted to use him as a shield. Even she didn't know if she'd truly fallen in love with Linlong.
Now that he realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly denied it.
However, in Yang Jian's opinion, this was simply trying to cover something up.
"Xue 'er, tell me who he is. I want to see who he is and if he has the ability to steal my woman!" Yang Jian said coldly, staring at Murong Xue.
Murong Xue was at a loss for words.
At this time, a person behind Yang Jian walked up and whispered into his ear.
"Senior Brother Yang Jian, Linlong is the one standing to the right of Junior Sister Murong."
When he heard this, Yang Jian's gaze immediately turned to Linlong, who stood by Murong Xue's side.
"Senior Brother Yang Jian, Lin Long didn't just snatch Junior Sister Murong. He also crippled Senior Brother Wu De's arm not long ago." The person beside Yang Jian continued.
This person had a good relationship with Wu De. When he heard that Yang Jian had returned, the first thing he did was to tell Yang Jian about Lin Long injuring Wu De.
However, because Yang Jian had said that he was going to announce something, he was afraid that it would make Yang Jian unhappy. Thus, he didn't dare to reveal the matter as soon as he saw Yang Jian.
Now, he realized that this was a good opportunity. He immediately stepped forward and not only pointed out Linlong, but he also pointed out that Linlong was the one who had crippled Wu De.
"What? My cousin Wu De was injured?" Yang Jian's expression changed when he heard this.
Although he didn't like Wu De using his identity to strut around, it didn't mean that he could tolerate Wu De being bullied, let alone having an arm crippled.
After all, Wu De was his cousin. In the Sky Evolution Academy, he was considered a member of the Yang family.
"Yes, Linlong did it." The person beside Yang Jian nodded.
"Very good." Yang Jian nodded coldly. Then, his sharp gaze shot towards Linlong in the distance.
"Linlong, you've got guts. Not only did you dare to steal my woman, you even dared to injure my cousin. Are you tired of living?" Yang Jian yelled.
"That's not right. I only crippled Wu De's arm because he reaped what he sowed. As for saying that I, Linlong, stole your woman, that's even more wrong. Junior Sister Murong is my woman to begin with." Linlong's face revealed a strange smile as he spoke calmly. Then, he pulled Murong Xue over to his side.
Murong Xue instinctively wanted to reject him, but when she thought about what she had just said and how Lin Long was just her shield, her instinctive reaction immediately vanished like smoke in thin air. She then let Lin Long pull her into his arms.
It looked as if he was wholeheartedly cooperating with Linlong.
"You!"
Seeing this, Yang Jian was so angry that his entire body began to tremble.
Never mind since he was young, no one had dared to disobey his orders since he'd arrived at the Sky Evolution Academy.
But now, not only had someone disobeyed his orders, he'd even hugged the woman he wanted right in front of him.
How could he endure that?
It's over. Linlong actually dared to infuriate Senior Yang Jian in public. He truly doesn't know how the word "death" is written.
The surrounding crowd all shook their heads when they saw that.
From what they saw, even if Linlong didn't die, he would be heavily injured, even though this was within the boundaries of the academy.
Yang Jian was the pride of the heavens! He was the favorite of all the instructors in the academy! Even if he injured someone, why would the academy punish him? At most, he would be confined for a few months.
As for Linlong, if he was injured, then so be it. Who would offend the young master of the Yang family? Who would punish the future of the Sky Evolution Academy?
"Linlong, if I don't teach you a lesson today, then I'm the young master of the Yang family. I'm the disciple of Instructor Ye Hongyi. I'm the fifth rank alchemist of the Southern Region. I'm a rank five Martial Lord!"
What? A fifth rank alchemist of the Southern Region? A rank five Martial Lord?!
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Yang Jian's strength explosively rise to such a level.
As they stared in astonishment, the furious Yang Jian leapt up, and like a roc, pounced towards Linlong.
In mid-air, he threw a punch. The power of that punch was astonishing, and when it was thrown, the crowd below immediately retreated to the two sides like a wave being split apart.
* putong, putong, putong … *
Many people whose legs were unstable or their foundations were unstable even fell to the ground.
"As expected of a rank five Martial Lord! The power of a single punch is so terrifying!"
"Linlong is finished. With his strength, he's equivalent to an ant in front of Senior Yang Jian."
"If Linlong kneels now, I'm afraid it's not too late."
