The answer was clearly bogus and Mu Wu Han didn’t buy it but she didn’t ask further. She was a smart and tactful woman, she knew that everyone had their own secrets. Yang Tian still though that he’d fool her and the was inwardly pleased with his Wind Slicing Technique. (T/N: I've talked about this a while back but it's basically a slang for bullshitting)
After a while, the bus was filling up with people. A made student wearing a t-shirt with a tiger tattoo on his arms approached Yang Tian’s seat:
- Hey, this is my seat. Can you get up?
The surrounding students saw that and quickly spoke amongst themselves:
- Ah, our very own thug is picking a fight with the Young Tyrant. Now there’s something interesting to see.
- Right, who do you think is gonna win? I think it’s going to be the Young Tyrant. Even the cops can’t do anything to him.
- What do you know? That guy’s father is a boss of an underworld gang. I heard they are also affiliated with an even larger organization. His strength and backing must be strong. Young Tyrant at most have some backing. If they get into a fight, he wouldn’t even be a match.
The thug and the Young Tyrant, everyone used their nickname to call them and not their real name. They might not even know Yang Tian’s real name.
Yang Tian looked up at the male student and let out a long yawn. He had always been the one bullying other people. Now there was someone that was trying to bully him. The saying was true, if you are too nice, people will look down on you.
- Scram.
The male student still maintained his smile:
- Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?
Yang Tian decided to ignore him. After all, he was with Mu Wu Han so he shouldn’t do anything that would frighten her. Seeing Yang Tian ignoring him, the smile on the student’s face froze.
- You forced my hands. I didn’t want to be violent in front of Wu Han in the first place.
As he said that, he tried to grab Yang Tian’s shoulder. When his hand was inches away from Yang Tian, the male student suddenly yelled out. His entire body collapsed on the floor and he was curled up like a shrimp. He was clutching his hand and screaming hoarsely.
Mu Wu Han looked at Yang Tian with wide eyes:
- What are you doing? You shouldn’t have been so heavy handed. He is still my classmate.
She was dead sure that this was Yang Tian’s doing. He was very strong, this was something that Mu Wu Han never doubted. Because of this, when the male student came looking for trouble with Yang Tian, she didn’t paid much attention to it.
Yang Tian made an innocent face:
- That wasn’t me. Look, everyone can be my witness. My hands have not move from this position. Maybe he has some sort of weird disease and it just happens to act up now.
Knowing that Yang Tian wouldn’t be caught dead admitting it, Mu Wu Han didn’t force him. Hearing the scream, the teachers quickly arrived. Seeing the male student on the ground screaming out, they asked the surrounding people:
- Do you know what happened to him?
The group of students all shook their head. They didn’t see Yang Tian do anything so they could only go with guess of some illness acting up. After not getting any clear answers, the teachers could only wait for medical staff to bring the male student away. When he was put on a stretcher, his arm was finally revealed. It looked withered from elbow to the palm. The male student had long pass his limit and passed out.
Yang Tian deliberately obstruct Mu Wu Han’s vision from this scene. If not he wouldn’t even know how to explain this to her.
After a while, when all the chatters died down a bit, a teacher got on the bus and began a roll call. After checking the list and recounting the number of people, the teacher asked:
- There’s one more person here than in the list. Is any of you on the wrong bus?
Yang Tian knew that this about him so he stood up:
- It’s me, my bus was already full and I heard that this one has an extra seat so I came here.
The teacher adjusted her glasses and looked at him:
- You are?
- My name is Yang Tian.
She remembered there was someone in the special student list named Yang Tian. This list was established by the university for the teachers to know which student have big background. They were in school only for the fun of it and as long as they don’t violate the law, there was no need to pick a fight with them.
- Yang Tian? Sophomore in the Finance major?
- That’s right.
- Alright, just stay where you are and I’ll tell your teacher that you are here.
Yang Tian turned to Mu Wu Han with a grin. She only gave him a glance:
- It seems that you are still hiding a lot from me. If you are simple an orphan without any familial background, even if you opened your own company, how could you make everyone so wary of you.
- So it’ this matter. I’ll tell you in due time. However what I told you before was the truth, it’s just that it was only a part of it. Everything I have right now was made by my hands.
Yang Tian didn’t lie, his parents and all of his relatives were killed more than a thousand years ago. Everything he has today was built with his own hard work. Yang Tian and Mu Wu Han chatted merrily in spite of all the jealous and annoyed gaze directed at them from all directions.
The location for their field trip this time was the foot of a mountain near Bei Jiang City. Since the number of participating students were so high, the school couldn’t go anywhere too far. After arriving at the place, Yang Tian had to returned to his class to set up camp. Before he left, he gave Mu Wu Han the stack of pictures that he robbed from Li Pan. Mu Wu Han received the photos and her cheeks slightly reddened:
- Where did you get these photos?
- I took them myself. What do you think, are they good? I spent a lot of time touching them up to give it to you.
Yang Tian’s shamelessness was at a max here. If Li Pan was here, he would have cried a river. This guy not only took his stuff, he also stole all the credit.
Yang Tian didn’t feel any shame doing something like this. If you are going after a woman without any stratagem, you are bound to be forever alone.
As expected, Mu Wu Han smiled happily. Under surprised gaze of everyone, she tiptoed up and gave Yang Tian a kiss on the cheek before running away. Yang Tian rubbed his cheek, and looked at the departing Mu Wu Han with a smile. This was a great success.
Yang Tian then returned to his class for a roll call. After that, he and Li Pan was assigned to find some firewood for the campfire. Yang Tian had no interest in this type of brainless menial job so everything was all on Li Pan.
- Panzi, go and get the wood. I’m going for a stroll.
- No way, this is something that’s assigned to the both of us. I can’t do it all alone.
Yang Tian then produced several large value banknotes and gave it to Li Pan. Immediately the dishonest merchant in Li Pan came out:
- Of course, we are good brothers. If you are busy then just go on ahead. I’ll get the firewood in your place.
Seeing Li Pan’s greed, Yang Tian shook his head. For better or for worse, he was already back at the Li Clan. He’s now a young master of the Li Clan and he shouldn’t have sullied their image for some cash.
Yang Tian didn’t know that although Li Pan had returned to the Li Clan, since he still couldn’t cultivate, he still belonged to the outer clan. The only thing he could do is manage the clan’s wealth and businesses. However since he hadn’t graduate yet, the Li Clan couldn’t possibly let him manage any of the businesses or the money. Because of this, although Li Pan isn’t as poor as before, he wasn’t in any way rich. Not only that, Li Wu was a young miss of the Li Clan and she was used to living in luxury so Li Pan had to save up a lot for all of their expenses.
Putting Li Pan’s story aside, Yang Tian was going on a walk. His main goal was to see what Li Xiang was up to. After circling around the mountain, Yang Tian detected a cave carefully hidden behind tree branches and vines. Using his spiritual sense to explore inside, Yang Tian saw a large steel gate. Behind it were two people with guns guarding the place:
- It seems that he had a detailed plan in place.
