At night, in the courtyard of Snow Qincheng, two figures stood quietly. The bright moonlight poured down from above, casting a layer of mysterious veil over the pair of golden boy and jade girl in the courtyard.
After a long while, Aotian softly said, "Xue Qingcheng, this afternoon Luxiong told me about the leader of the Sky Garment Gang..."
Snow Qincheng paused slightly, then coldly laughed, "I didn't expect Luxiong to be so despicable. Even after being defeated, he still harbors ill intentions!"
Upon hearing this, Aotian's expression turned puzzled as he asked, "Xue Qingcheng, what do you mean by that?"
Snow Qincheng pondered for a moment and replied, "Aotian, how much do you know about Wei Tianyi?"
"Not much. I only know he is the leader of the Sky Garment Gang," Aotian answered.
"That's right. Besides that, he is also ranked third on the Inner Courtyard Rankings," Snow Qincheng's expression became extremely serious.
Aotian was suddenly taken aback; the top three on the Inner Courtyard Rankings were all elusive experts. Aotian had been at Xuantian Academy for over a month but knew little about them. Of course, this was partly because he hadn't made an effort to inquire.
"The top three on the Inner Courtyard Rankings are truly the pride of heaven. Each of them possesses strength far beyond what Luxiong and Mo Gang can contend with."
Aotian's expression changed as the words Human Spirit Realm suddenly surfaced in his mind. It could be said that Luxiong and Mo Gang were top-tier existences below the Human Spirit Realm; however, if they were not even opponents to the top three on the Inner Courtyard Rankings, it could only mean that all three of them were warriors of the Human Spirit Realm.
"Are they all warriors of the Human Spirit Realm?" Aotian tentatively asked.
Snow Qincheng nodded gravely and said:
"Those three fellows are all Martial Artists of the Human Spirit Realm, and they hold a very high reputation in Xuantian Academy."
Although Aotian had already prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but feel a chill when he heard Snow Qincheng admit it.
A Spirit Realm Martial Artist can be considered a top expert within the entire Fengyun Nation. In medium-sized cities like Ning City, a Spirit Realm Martial Artist could easily act as a local tyrant. This shows just how powerful a Spirit Realm Martial Artist is.
"Wait a minute, aren't Martial Artists of the Human Spirit Realm supposed to be able to advance to become Core Students? Why are they still stuck at the position of Inner Academy Students?" Suddenly, Aotian seemed to notice something amiss and hurriedly asked.
Snow Qincheng brushed back her loose hair and explained:
"Core Students can only number up to Seventy-Two. This means that whenever a Student is promoted to a Core Student, one must drop back down to the position of an Inner Academy Student. The top three in the Inner Courtyard Rankings were all once Core Students who have been demoted."
After hearing Snow Qincheng's explanation, Aotian couldn't help but click his tongue, feeling that things were getting complicated.
That Wei Tianyi is ranked third in the Inner Courtyard Rankings, which means he was once a Core Student. Although he could no longer maintain his status among the Core Students, his cultivation at the level of a Human Spirit Realm is very real. Therefore, Aotian had to take this matter seriously.
"Speaking of which, this is also my fault!" Suddenly, Snow Qincheng said apologetically.
"Uh, how is it your fault?" Aotian asked in surprise.
"Core Students are not allowed to interfere with matters concerning Inner Academy Students. This is a rule of the academy. Therefore, in the eyes of the Core Students, the forces they build are merely insignificant. Although Wei Tianyi is currently just an Inner Academy Student, the Sky Garment Gang is indeed inconsequential to him; he wouldn't go all out against you over such a trivial matter."
After hearing what Snow Qincheng said, Aotian couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Defeating Luxiong was a major event that shocked the academy, but in the eyes of Wei Tianyi, it seemed like just a trivial matter. This left Aotian feeling somewhat unaccustomed.
"Since Wei Tianyi won't stand up for the Sky Garment Gang, then there's nothing to worry about, right?" Aotian asked curiously.
After hearing Aotian's words, Snow Qincheng's face turned slightly red, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Aotian clearly noticed Snow Qincheng's unusual behavior and curiously asked, "Xue Qingcheng, what's wrong? If you want to say something, just say it."
Snow Qincheng stammered, "That Wei Tianyi guy keeps bothering me..."
Upon hearing this, Aotian immediately understood and couldn't help but tease Snow Qincheng by lightly pinching her nose, saying, "So my Xue Qingcheng is quite the catch, huh..."
Snow Qincheng shot Aotian a glare and replied, "Wei Tianyi is unlikely to stick his neck out for Luxiong, but our relationship isn't exactly a secret in the academy. If this gets back to Wei Tianyi, I'm afraid he might come looking for trouble with you. And Luxiong clearly knows this, so he deliberately told you that Wei Tianyi would cause you trouble to instill fear in you. After all, that Wei Tianyi is indeed not someone to mess with."
Aotian nodded in understanding. He realized that Luxiong had malicious intentions in informing him about Wei Tianyi. It was obvious that he wanted to use Wei Tianyi's reputation to intimidate him, making his path of cultivation more difficult.
Thinking of this, Aotian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Luxiong, oh Luxiong, you really overestimate your leader; who can truly instill fear in whom is still uncertain.
"Where is that Wei Tianyi guy?" Aotian asked.
"The top three in the Inner Courtyard Rankings have always been mysterious. However, I heard from my father that Wei Tianyi seems to be in seclusion. I don't know when he will come out," Snow Qincheng replied.
"That's good..." Aotian sighed lightly in relief.
If that Wei Tianyi comes looking for trouble tomorrow, I really won't have a place to cry. Aotian knows very well that although his current strength can rival top Half-Step Human Spirit warriors like Luxiong, fighting against a Spirit Realm Martial Artist would be akin to hitting a stone with an egg.
"Aotian, if... if Wei Tianyi really comes, you should distance yourself from me. He probably won't make things too difficult for you," Snow Qincheng said hesitantly in a soft voice. She didn't even notice that her eyes had turned slightly red after saying this.
Looking at the innocent girl beside him, Aotian felt a surge of emotion. He gently wrapped his arm around Snow Qincheng's slender waist and said boldly, "Don't worry, Xue Qingcheng. If that guy Wei Tianyi dares to come, I'll fight him to the death! Let him understand that if he wants to take me down, he'll at least have to lose a few teeth!" By the end of his statement, his tone was filled with fierce determination.
Snow Qincheng gazed into Aotian's ethereal face and deep, black hole-like eyes, and she couldn't help but fall deeply into them.
She buried her head lightly on Aotian's shoulder, wishing that time could freeze; she wanted this moment to last forever.
Looking at Snow Qincheng in his arms, Aotian couldn't help but sigh softly. How could he betray such a devoted person? But when he thought of Aoyan in the Eternal Night Forbidden Zone, Aotian felt a headache coming on. What would he do if the two women met?
"Ah, forget it. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, I need to deal with the immediate problems first. Wei Tianyi won't come out for a while; I should focus on dealing with Mo Gang's issue..."
It has been nearly two months since the March Agreement with Mo Gang. Although he could defeat Luxiong, Luxiong was still inferior compared to Mo Gang. Therefore, Aotian knew he couldn't slack off in his training over the past month.
Aotian thought to himself...
