38: Chapter 38: Shocking the Audience 38: Chapter 38: Shocking the Audience Lin Chumo and Mu Yunxi entered the cafeteria, and the crowd seemed to freeze like a picture.

Ye Tian saw Xiao Pang already indulging in his food.

When he noticed Ye Tian, he gave him a look of self-preservation.

Ye Tian saw Xiao Pang talking to a man sitting across from him.

The man wore glasses, appeared scholarly, slightly thin, and was about 1.7 meters tall.

From Xiao Pang’s lip movements, Ye Tian could guess he was saying, “Xiao Mazi, see that beauty over there?

She’s my big brother Tian’s crush.

He has an ancestral book on flirting.

Stick with me, and I’ll show you!”

Xiao Mazi listened, astonished, staring at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian felt like throwing a shoe at Xiao Pang’s face.

Using his name to recruit underlings, how preposterous.

However, that line sounded quite pleasing, haha!

Ye Tian found a rather secluded spot for Lin Chumo and Mu Yunxi and placed their backpacks down.

Originally, Lin Chumo wanted to go get food with Ye Tian, but who knew?

Lin Chumo said, “Tian, you go get the food.

I’ll chat with Yunxi.”

Ye Tian left with a melancholic look, thinking, “Could it be that my Chumo has been taken away?”

At the table, Mu Yunxi noticed Ye Tian’s melancholic look and laughed, “Chumo, is your boyfriend blaming me with his eyes?”

Lin Chumo replied, “No, Tian’s just like that.

You’ve been in Yunhai for these few days; I really need to spend time with you.

The Mu Family is truly heartless.”

Not long after.

Ye Tian came back holding a plate of food in one hand and a plate of vegetables in the other.

He did a 360-degree spin and placed the food on the table.

“Ladies, please enjoy your meal!”

Ye Tian said with gentlemanly manners.

Ye Tian’s eating style contrasted greatly with the two beauties; he was ravenously shoveling food, making his chopsticks clank, while Lin Chumo and Mu Yunxi ate daintily.

“Hey, that guy is in trouble; Jiang Zhi the bully is coming.

He’s known for being a domineering thug who specifically bullies freshmen.”

“That guy dining with two fairy-like beauties must have upset Jiang Zhi, judging by his posture; he seems to be here to cause trouble.”

“Let’s hide; we don’t want to get caught in this mess!”

“Doesn’t the school care?

That Jiang Zhi is so arrogant.”

“Care about what?

He’s the president of the Taekwondo Club.

Everyone who gets beaten up never admits it because he has many underlings.

Do you want to be beaten up every day after school?”

“Let’s go, let’s go!

What are you still looking at?”

The footsteps were heavy, steady, sounding like someone trained in martial arts.

Everyone eating there backed away except a few men who looked like they came from wealthy backgrounds daring to watch.

Ye Tian’s ears twitched, but he didn’t care and kept his head down, eating.

Lin Chumo tugged at Ye Tian’s sleeve, whispered, “Tian, it seems like someone is coming over, and they don’t look friendly.”

“Relax, everyone in front of me is just a paper tiger.

Plus, there’s Mu Yunxi!”

Ye Tian looked gently at Lin Chumo, then glanced at Mu Yunxi meaningfully.

Bam!

Jiang Zhi’s hand slammed onto the table with a huge sound.

Ye Tian looked up to see Jiang Zhi sneering, with several guys with dyed yellow hair behind him.

“This is my exclusive seat, and you dare to sit here.

You must be unaware of my name, Jiang Zhi, at Yunhai University!”

Jiang Zhi arrogantly stared at Ye Tian.

“But since the two ladies are so beautiful, I’ll let it slide.

May I know your names, pretty ladies?”

Jiang Zhi extended his hand towards Lin Chumo, seemingly wanting a friendly handshake.

Lin Chumo naturally wouldn’t shake hands with Jiang Zhi.

Ye Tian grabbed Jiang Zhi’s hand and said, “She’s my girlfriend; you don’t need to know her name.

After all, you won’t get the chance.”

“Is that so?

I’d like to see if you have what it takes to be her boyfriend.”

Jiang Zhi exerted force on Ye Tian’s hand, but Ye Tian continued to smile.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhi’s face turned ashen; if anyone looked closely, they’d see Jiang Zhi’s hand deforming.

Jiang Zhi hurriedly withdrew his hand.

“Forget it.

Today is a great day to start the semester.

I won’t pursue this matter.”

Jiang Zhi faked a smile at Ye Tian.

After leaving the cafeteria, Jiang Zhi’s underling said, “Boss, why let him off so easily?

He clearly doesn’t respect us.”

“Heh, of course, I know.

But that guy’s got some moves.

With just a few of us, I feel uncertain.

Plus, there are so many people here—bullying him would ruin my reputation.”

“This afternoon after school, we won’t attack directly.

I’ll make a call and have someone teach him a lesson, then I’ll come in as the hero!”

Jiang Zhi laughed coldly.

In the cafeteria.

Everyone looked bewildered, thinking that Jiang Zhi must have been impersonated, with expressions full of confusion.

“Brother Wu, was Jiang Zhi stupid to be provoked and still not act?”

“Did you see?

That guy made Jiang Zhi’s hand swell red by squeezing.

It looks like Yunhai University is about to get interesting.”

“And over there, the Mu Family’s eldest daughter.

Even if Jiang Zhi brought all his men together, it wouldn’t matter.

I’ve seen many great families’ freshmen here; be careful and avoid trouble.

I can’t cover for you.”

Ye Tian had finished his meal and started clearing the dishes.

Lin Chumo asked, “Tian, why did that guy leave just like that?”

“People like him are dangerous.

I guess trouble will come soon.

But I’ve never been afraid.

I’ll protect you.”

Ye Tian said confidently, looking at Lin Chumo.

“By the way, for tomorrow’s event, I want to perform the Cloud Feather Dance with Mu Yunxi, but we’re missing someone who can play the zither.

It’s so troublesome!”

Lin Chumo said.

“That dance is very difficult for a duo.

Have you learned it, Chumo?”

Ye Tian looked at Lin Chumo in shock.

“Come on, don’t underestimate me!

I’m multi-talented.

Quickly find someone who can play the zither for me!”

Lin Chumo clapped her hands, facing Ye Tian.

“No, no, I can also play the zither, and I’m world-class at it.

Count on me.”

Ye Tian patted his chest.

“Really?

That’s great.

I’ll give you the music score now.

This afternoon, Yunxi and I are going to her dance studio to practice.

You can head home first!”

Lin Chumo jumped up in joy.

Ye Tian looked like he was being set up, saying, “Did you already plan this for me?”

“No, I was just testing you.

Who knew you actually could!”

Lin Chumo looked at him, pouting.

“Alright, you’re forgiven because you’re my Chumo.

Let’s go!”

Ye Tian, Lin Chumo, and Mu Yunxi walked to the gate.

A top-notch sports car was parked at the school entrance.

Mu Yunxi and Lin Chumo bid farewell to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian looked down at the zither music score in his hand and slowly walked home.

In times of boredom at Divine Martial Mountain, Ye Tian had commanded Star Pavilion to buy all the books worldwide for him.

Due to the power of the Yantian Technique, he quickly read and understood them.

Among those were books about the zither.

Ye Tian had once performed for her, capturing her heart, but then he quietly left.
