“Ehhh?”

Everyone was stunned by Xia Tian’s words. Huo Wennu was the most influential person within Jianghai University, and she was second to none. Despite that, Xia Tian had the gall to call her small chested in front of so many people. Did that mean that he had seen them first-hand before?

Even Huo Wennu was dumbfounded and her face instantly flushed red. She had never experienced such humiliation before.

While she personally admitted that her chest was not big, it was by no means small. Even then, Xia Tian had gone ahead and told her straight to the face not to speak to him as she had small breasts. ‘Do small-chested people hold no rights?’

She was THE Huo Wennu after all. Not only was she the president of Jiangnan University’s Student Council, she was also an esteemed figure within Huoyun Co.

Nevertheless, that did not change the fact that she had been put down by Xia Tian.

“Sister Wen, I’m sorry. He didn’t really mean that.” Ye Qingxue hurriedly came forward to explain.

“Fine, I’ll brush off your impudence for Qingxue’s sake.” Huo Wennu’s face reverted to its original color. Honestly speaking, however, Huo Wennu was no doubt a big-hearted individual. Had Xia Tian spoken those words to anyone else, he would undoubtedly be pulverized, but as one could observe, Xia Tian was unharmed.

Tang Yan and the basketball team walked over to Xia Tian. Now that Huo Wennu had arrived in the flesh, they could no longer shy away even if they wanted to. As such, Xue Chuan was left with no other choice but to fulfill his end of the agreement.

He would need to kneel down and apologize.

“We lost.” Tang Yan had contorted her face into a hideous expression.

Upon noticing Tang Yan’s arrival, Xia Tian immediately spun his head around and eagerly called out to Tang Yan. “C’mon, say it.”

“Say what?” Tang Yan glared at Xia Tian.

“You forgot? Didn’t we agree the last time we met that you’re supposed to address me by ‘that’ term whenever we meet?” Xia Tian reminded.

Deep, dark creases formed along Tang Yan’s forehead. “Darling Sweetie Hubby.”

“Attagirl.” Xia Tian nodded with a satisfied expression.

“Xue Chuan, you’ve lost,” Huo Wennu stated in a cold tone.

Seeing Huo Wennu’s stone-cold demeanor, Tang Yan’s heart froze. “Sister Wen…”

“Not another word from you. Xue Chuan, my words are directed to you. So, please come out like a man.” Huo Wennu’s gaze was locked onto Xue Chuan.

“Indeed, I’ve lost.” Xue Chuan raised his head. Since he had agreed to the bet, it was only right for him to face it like a man, and not hide behind Tang Yan.

“Sister Wen, let’s just call this bet off.” Ye Qingxue was begging for mercy as well.

“I refuse.” Huo Wennu’s stance was resolute.

“Fine, I’ll yield. I, Xue Chuan, am not a sore loser. Since I’ve personally agreed to kneel and apologize, you’d better be damn sure I’ll do it,” Xue Chuan responded.

“This isn’t what I’m referring to. I recall our bet being that all of you are supposed to host a dinner for Qingxue as an apology if you lose.” Huo Wennu shook her head as she clarified.

“Host a dinner?” Everyone in the basketball team went wide-eyed.

“Ah yes, Sister Wen. Just state the time.” A gleeful look crept onto Tang Yang’s expression. She understood that the reason Huo Wennu had gone easy them this time was most probably due to what Ye Qingxue had requested earlier. As such, she was showing Ye Qingxue a look of gratitude.

Ye Qingxue lightly nodded her head in response.

“This is how things should be. After all, all clubs should consider themselves as part of one family, and instead of fighting one another, you guys should cooperate instead. With that in mind, this matter will be settled by having the basketball team host an apology dinner. Are you satisfied with that, Qingxue?” Huo Wennu looked towards Ye Qingxue.

“Of course. How can I not be satisfied with Sister Wen’s decisions?” Ye Qingxue answered with a smile.

“Now, as for President Li, he’s no longer part of the student council. Furthermore, the sports club will also be temporarily disbanded, and those who participated in the skirmish with the literature and art club would have two merit points deducted from them. They are forbidden from joining any other clubs effective immediately.” Huo Wennu’s judgment was swift and harsh. While she was indeed a fair person at heart, catching wind of the KTV incident had left her extremely ashamed of President Li and the others’ actions.

Back then, Huo Wennu had not dealt with the sports club. However, now that the sports club had gone out and caused trouble in broad daylight, Huo Wennu could no longer sit idly by. As such, she had gone ahead and delisted the sports club.

“Let’s set the dinner tomorrow night, shall we? You must go as well, Xia Tian,” Huo Wennu nonchalantly stated.

Upon hearing Xia Tian’s name, everyone immediately turned their heads to look at him. Nevertheless, all they could see was Xia Tian gazing up onto the stands, and at present, there was only one person sitting there. The man was wearing a gray hoodie that he had covered over his face, and as a result, it made it hard to discern his features.

“Sister Rou, stay with the others for now. Don’t move.” With that, Xia Tian immediately spurred towards the stands. The spectator stands were protected by railings, and they were located at least ten feet off the ground. Despite that, Xia Tian had managed to grab hold of the railings in a single leap.

It was only after this display that Xue Chuan and the others finally realized how powerful Xia Tian’s leap was.

Xia Tian exerted his force onto the railings and with it, he finally made his way onto the stands. However, by the time he had done so, the individual had already fled outside, and Xia Tian was forced to give chase.

Everyone shot puzzled glances towards Xia Tian, but before long, Xia Tian was already gone from the basketball hall.

“What just happened?” Yang Buhui asked in confusion.

“Nothing much. It’s just that an old friend has come, and Xia Tian wishes to meet up with him,” Ceng Rou explained. Naturally, she understood the true nature of Xia Tian’s actions, as the individual was definitely someone from Quicksand.

Ye Qingxue did not believe a single word coming from Ceng Rou, but she knew that Ceng Rou would not answer truthfully even if she had asked.

“You guys must be tired as well. So, hurry and pack up so you can rest,” said Huo Wennu to everyone present.

Xia Tian gave chase to the Quicksand member even after he had exited the hall. He had no idea what shoes the Tier-two killer was wearing, but for some reason, the killer’s speed was even faster than that of a motorcycle. Fortunately, however, Xia Tian’s Unrestrained Cloud Sage Step was no slouch either, and the gap between them was constantly maintained.

The Quicksand assassin did not wish to encounter any bystanders, and as a result, the routes he chose were those that barely had anyone using them.

‘What the hell is he doing? Doesn’t he want to assassinate Ceng Rou? Why is he fleeing?’ Xia Tian thought. After all, it was impossible that the assassin’s plan was to lure Xia Tian away. Despite the contract still being in effect, Quicksand would no longer dispatch anyone to aid the five elders of the Ceng family as the elders no longer had any money to their name. Quicksand did not work for free, after all.

The Tier-two assassin before Xia Tian was the final one that Quicksand had dispatched. Once Xia Tian had dealt with him, Ceng Rou would no longer be in danger of being assassinated.

The two continued the cat and mouse chase, and it was only after they had reached a deserted location that they finally halted.

“You’re pretty daring huh. Aren’t you afraid of an ambush?” The gray-hoodied individual stated flatly.

“Sister Rou will be safe once I get rid of you.” Xia Tian’s mindset was straightforward. As long as he could get rid of the person before him, Ceng Rou would no longer be in danger. For this reason, Xia Tian refused to let this Tier-two assassin out of his sights.

“You think too much. While it’s true that the Ceng Elders’ payment is enough to afford a Tier-two assassin, the moment they got onto that police vehicle it was over. Quicksand is not a charity. It doesn’t make sense for us to continue assisting those without money.” The person in the gray hoodie glared coldly at Xia Tian before continuing, “My target is you.”

“Me?” Xia Tian eyed the assassin doubtfully.

“Indeed. You’re that person’s son and you’ve disrupted our operations. You must die.” The moment the assassin stopped talking, an emerald dagger appeared in his right hand.

It was an Emerald Cloud Dagger, and the exact same dagger had appeared within Xia Tian’s right hand with him.
