Chapter 107: Monopolizing Two Great Beauties, Unbearable

Zhang Heng was actually alone, looking left and right. He was naturally somewhat thin, and in this state, he looked shifty-eyed and sneaky.

"The Gentleman's Hall has always been full of dignified and elegant young masters. How did it produce a freak like you? If I were you, I'd kill myself right now to avoid embarrassing everyone."

Wang Yicai said with a look of disdain, his tone full of mockery and sarcasm.

Zhang Heng, however, didn't mind. He casually straightened his clothes, and his aura suddenly changed. Gone was the sleazy look; now he was graceful and poised. "As they say, the heart shapes the face. Brother Wang, your cultivation is too poor, and your mind is full of filthy thoughts. Naturally, you see everyone as being just like you!"

The people around burst into laughter, seemingly amused. Both Wang Yicai and Zhang Heng were of extraordinary status, and with the two of them bickering, the others were happy to watch the show.

Wang Yicai's face darkened, and he was about to retort with a sneer. But then he saw Zhang Heng's expression freeze, and the air around them seemed to turn cold. A moment ago, everyone was laughing and chatting, but now they all wore cold faces, staring straight at something behind Wang Yicai. Their expressions were awkward and strange.

Wang Yicai felt as if needles were pricking his back, a chill running through his body. He awkwardly turned his head, and his expression changed. There was three parts surprise, three parts tension, and even three parts excitement, so much so that his mind was shaken and he could barely contain himself.

Three figures walked slowly over. Among them were two women. One was dressed in a green robe, graceful and elegant, a beautiful middle-aged woman. The other was a stunningly beautiful young girl with hair as black as a crow's wing and skin as white as snow. Both wore cold expressions, and as their gazes swept over, they made people shiver uncontrollably. They were Qing Yi and Wang Wu.

As for the other one, it was naturally Zhan Xiao. He strolled over leisurely, his bearing extraordinary. He had a smile on his face as he spoke to Wang Wu, even though she kept her lips pressed together and didn't utter a single word.

Zhang Heng was the first to snap out of it. He cupped his hands in a polite gesture, putting on the airs of a refined young master from a noble family, and smiled at the young girl. "So it's Miss Wu'er. Today, I, Zhang, am fortunate to meet you. It's truly the luck of three lifetimes!"

Wang Wu glanced at him indifferently, then turned her head to stare coldly at Wang Yicai. "Wang Yicai, what are you doing here?"

Wang Yicai was slightly stunned, seeming very afraid of Wang Wu, unable to speak. But Wang Ruolan beside him snorted coldly and said angrily, "Every time the Dragon Tower opens, someone from the Wang family comes. My younger brother Wang Yicai is a core disciple of the Liu family. Does he need to explain himself to you for being here?"

Wang Wu's starry eyes shifted, and she coldly glanced at Wang Ruolan as if she were looking at thin air. Wang Ruolan glared back, her eyes wide, putting on a confrontational front. But she was trying too hard, caring too much, and her aura fell far short.

Both were young maidens, graceful and alluring. But in the eyes of those present, the difference was clear.

"Sis, say a little less. Sister Wu'er is the one in charge of the Wang family's Dragon Tower matter!"

Wang Yicai tugged at Wang Ruolan, whispering to persuade her. But his eyes were fixed on Wang Ruowu, burning with passion.

Seeing this, Zhan Xiao laughed heartily. "Hey! Brother Yicai, oh Brother Yicai. I thought you were the seventh genius of the Wang family, but it turns out you're just here to make up the numbers. It seems I won't get to see your brilliance this time, Zhan!"

Everyone's gazes shifted. When they saw Zhan Xiao, they showed a hint of realization, clearly recognizing his background.

Wang Yicai took a heavy breath, his face full of cold light as he glared at Zhan Xiao. There was no need to mention how angry he was.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng's eyes rolled, and he chimed in, "That day, Brother Yicai displayed his divine might at the Yuhua Hall, beating Lu Fan's cousin like a dead dog. But now it turns out he's just a small fry. How disappointing!"

Such provocative words had an obvious intent, clear to everyone present. With Wang Yicai's pride as a core disciple of the Wang family, he couldn't bear it. Even if he didn't start a fight, he should at least retort.

But Wang Yicai gritted his teeth, swallowed his anger, and tried to let the matter rest.

Zhang Heng and Zhan Xiao were both disappointed, silently cursing Wang Yicai a "coward." But at that moment, Wang Wu spoke up.

"You were sneaking around the past two days, and it turns out you were looking for trouble! I didn't know about it before, so I won't hold it against you. But from now on, you are not to interfere in anything concerning Lu Fan!"

She spoke without a trace of emotion, like frost from the ninth heaven. Everyone around couldn't help but shrink their necks. As for Wang Yicai, he was full of shock and bewilderment.

"Why? What relationship does that brat Lu have with you? Why do you have to meddle in his affairs?"

He had endured again and again, but now he could endure no more.

Wang Wu's gaze turned cold. "He is my man. No one is allowed to lay a hand on him. Do you understand?"

Wang Yicai was stunned, too shocked to speak. Zhang Heng also looked incredulous, as if he couldn't believe that Wang Wu, a proud daughter of heaven, would say such words in public.

As for the others, they were also dumbfounded. Wang Wu's identity was no secret to most of those present. For such a stunningly beautiful girl to openly express her 'feelings' was truly a cause for sighs and regrets.

"Heh, since when did I become your man?"

At that moment, a flash of mysterious light burst forth, and a runic chariot slowly materialized. Lu Fan swept his gaze over the scene with a smile.

Everyone looked over in surprise. When they saw the runic chariot, their expressions changed, full of wariness. But when they saw Lu Fan, their faces froze, showing confusion.

At this moment, Lu Fan's aura wasn't particularly strong. The Returning Unity Qi had dissipated, and while his mental strength had improved somewhat, it was still at the level of a rune master. As for his martial arts cultivation, he was still at the peak of the Tendon Transformation stage, just one step away from the Bone Tempering stage.

"So this kid is Lu Fan. I heard he's quite famous, but his strength is only this much? A peak martial master, barely qualified to participate in the Dragon Tower trial!"

"How could Wang Wu, a beauty like that, fall for this kid? It's really a case of a flower stuck in cow dung!"

"Haha! This is going to be a good show. We've traveled a long way, tired from the journey. If we can have some fun with this kid, it might boost our spirits. Who knows, we might even exceed our limits in the Dragon Tower and obtain that supreme inheritance!"

Everyone started laughing again, returning to their previous state. They were all extremely unrestrained, casually discussing things.

Lu Fan, however, didn't mind. In fact, he didn't even hear them. He just stared at Wang Wu with a smile.

Wang Wu frowned, realizing her earlier words were somewhat inappropriate. But who was she? How could she explain herself in front of everyone? She simply smiled and said:

"You are my senior brother. Naturally, I, Wang Wu, have the responsibility to look after you. Anyone who wants to make a move on you will have to get through me!"

The siblings Wang Yicai and Wang Ruolan's expressions changed drastically. They looked at Wang Wu in disbelief and said urgently, "What? You've taken a master! Who is it? Have you informed the Elder Council?"

Their expressions were very strange and also very agitated, as if there was something else going on.

Lu Fan glanced indifferently at the two siblings, then said to Wang Wu, "If anyone is going to look after anyone, it's me, Lu Fan, looking after you. In other words, you are my woman. Anyone who wants to make a move on you will have to get through me, Lu Fan!"

He had turned Wang Wu's words back on her, even deliberately using a double entendre and emphasizing his tone.

Everyone present understood. They all thought Lu Fan was taking advantage of Wang Wu, and they wore strange smiles.

Even Wang Wu sensed something odd. Recalling how Lu Fan had once pestered her relentlessly, the deeper meaning of his words was all too clear.

She snorted coldly, not looking at Lu Fan again, and began to calm her mind and focus. But Qing Yi beside her looked at Lu Fan with a strange expression, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking about something.

On the runic chariot, Ling Yao smiled faintly and slowly floated down. She was dressed in black, which accentuated her voluptuous figure, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

"Lu Fan, your methods are not simple. Now I can rest assured!"

With graceful steps, she walked slowly. Ling Yao gave a meaningful glance in Wang Wu's direction, then patted Lu Fan's shoulder very intimately before heading into the formation.

Everyone in the hall looked at Lu Fan with envy. Wang Wu's peerless beauty and her ambiguous relationship with Lu Fan were already hard to bear. And now this mature, alluring beauty also had an unknown connection with Lu Fan. A mere martial master, monopolizing two great beauties—if this could be endured, what could not?

Everyone glared at him with cold, hostile looks, but no one stepped forward. The runic chariot still hovered in the air, its power imposing. No one present had the strength to take it down; acting rashly would only be suicide.

There were also some among the crowd who had witnessed the Preaching Assembly and had seen Lu Fan's methods. They began to discuss the matter with great seriousness.

"Heh! Don't be fooled by his mere martial master cultivation. His methods are astonishing. His attainments in rune arts are incredible, and he can even use formations to suppress a martial venerable!"

"That's right. I saw with my own eyes that Lu Fan killed Lei Di, a martial venerable elder of the Yin Sha Sect. Even the martial venerable experts sent by the six major factions suffered a great loss at Lu Fan's hands and lost face!"

No one knew who said this, but those who heard it looked skeptical, thinking it was just bragging.

Zhang Heng looked incredulous. He turned to look at Zhan Xiao, only to see a look of admiration on the other's face, as if he had personally witnessed these events.

He was horrified, unable to imagine it. He muttered slowly, "What exactly happened at that Preaching Assembly? Can anyone really do such things?"

He had sharp eyes and a keen mind, and he guessed some things. But the others simply didn't believe it, loudly arguing and discussing. In an instant, the whole place was in an uproar, disturbing everyone's peace of mind.

"Hmph! All this clamor—what a disgrace!"

From within the formation emerged an elderly man with a goat‑beard, none other than Elder Bai, his face full of wrath. All the people present instantly shut their mouths, not to intimidate his power but to give Tianyuan Academy face.

Elder Bai, disregarding all that, nodded appreciatively and shouted to the surroundings:

"The Dragon Tower Teleportation Array is nearly complete. Young heroes, prepare yourselves; soon, by means of the Dragon Spirit Talisman, you will enter the array in order. If anyone refuses to follow the rules, don't blame Tianyuan Academy for being ruthless!"
