Chapter 305: I can’t handle it

In the Divine City, in an unremarkable small red building, sat a man wearing a white robe in the main hall. He was sitting motionless on a meditation mat, like a statue.

The entire hall was spotless.

In front of him, there was a wooden shelf signifying the passage of time.

Three books lay on the shelf.

Suddenly, the book on the extreme right began to flip itself, revealing the first page. A name flew out from the book, emitting a brilliant golden light.

The man in the white robe slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the two characters floating in the air. His calm face expressed a hint of surprise.

“Gu Yang.”

He silently repeated the name in his heart.

At this moment, footsteps rang out and a girl about the age of ten wandered in. Looking at the page of the opened book and the golden letters suspended in the air, she exclaimed in surprise, “Teacher, Gu Yang has actually become the number one in the mana Realm.”

“Isn’t he the fastest to reach the number one rank in the history of Mana Realm?”

While she was speaking, names were flying out of the book, forming a list right behind the first name that had appeared.

A moment later, the names in the air disappeared.

The book on the shelf was closed and sealed again.

The little girl couldn’t help herself from asking, “Teacher, who really is this Gu Yang? Could he be the reincarnation of an ancient figure with great power?”

The man in the white robe remained silent, seemingly ignoring her.

The little girl said angrily, “Again with the silence? It’s infuriating. Once I’m able to open these books, I’ll find out for myself.”

Previously, her teacher would mollify her by saying that celestial secrets must not be disclosed.

Now, he couldn’t even be bothered to say that.

This teacher was simply lazy to the extreme.

Since her arrival, she had never seen him move from this loft. He would sit there, too lazy to move or talk, even too lazy to eat.

She realized for the first time that some people could go without eating and still survive.

Suddenly, the man spoke, “Invite him over.”

“Yes, teacher.”

The little girl was somewhat excited. Finally, the teacher had spoken.

Ever since she had arrived, this was the first time she had heard the teacher invite someone over.

As soon as the little girl left, the man looked at the book on the extreme left of the shelf, which was emitting a faint light.

Then he closed his eyes again, and the loft went quiet once again.

Gu Yang arrived at the literary institute with the women.

He had nowhere else to go. Tianxin Martial Arts Hall was too small to accommodate all these people, the literary institute was bigger.

Zhou Zongye was taken aback when he saw the women accompanying him.

Was this guy planning to sweep up the entire Beauty List?

The top of the list was occupied by Su Ningyan, known for her mesmerising beauty, until she had entered the palace and became the queen.

Ye Lingbo was third.

Wu Lingling was fifth.

Pei Qianlan was seventh.

Cao Yiyi was tenth.

Su Qingzhen was thirteenth.

Impressive. The women now in the literary institute made up half of the Beauty List.

There were also two women of different races from another continent with equally superior beauty.

He suddenly felt that the title of ‘The Most Handsome Man in the World’ seemed justified.

“Why are you back again?”

Zhou Zongye felt a bit of a headache.

None of the women present were easy to deal with. If Gu Yang was around it would be manageable, but if he had to handle some business and left them here, there might be a serious fight…

The thought alone was troublesome.

Gu Yang didn’t need to mince words with him and said bluntly, “I’ve got nowhere else to go.”
