Chapter 56 – Dragon (2/2)

“Isn’t that the boy who was chasing after Joe Yin? How many times did he get humiliated by her? Why is he coming back?” A girl with braided hair asked her friends in a judgemental and disdainful tone. She was stopped by one of the girls from speaking further.

“Shuu! Have you not heard what everyone was saying?”

“Heard about what?”

“Do you live in a cave or something? Rumour has it that this boy has an outstanding Soul Sensibility and that he just became Master Yi’s legacy apprentice!” The leader of the group answered while admiringly staring at Ye Wei.

“What? How sure are you about that?” The girl with braids asked again disbelievingly. She would have never associated Master Yi with Ye Wei before now.

“I am very certain! He now has his own house at Crouching Dragon Hall, just like that guy!”

“Joe Yin is so lucky! If Joe Yin becomes his girlfriend, she will most likely receive special treatment too! Imagine if she got her own house at Green Phoenix!” The girl with braids showed a hint of envy.

After hearing that, the girls all had a sour look on their faces as they knew more regarding the situation.

“I heard Joe Yin’s father brought her to the Ye mansion for a wedding proposal and got rejected on the spot!” The leader of the group had good sources.

“Wow, I guess a boy with potential like him would aim higher not to mention all the times he has been humiliated by Joe Yin!”

“Why is he heading to Green Phoenix Hall then?”

“For Lin Zi Yan I guess. Her talents would be a good match for a future Runemaster!”

While the group was speculating, a better looking and therefore more confident girl decided to try her luck and took the initiative. She gently flicked her shoulder length hair as she approached Ye Wei.

She waved at him and showed a charming smile, “You’re Ye Wei right?”

Ye Wei’s eyes locked on to the approaching girl. Her white silk dress complimented her body well, but it was lackluster compared to Lin Zi Yan’s natural elegance. He replied coldly, “Yea that’s me, can I help you with anything?”

The girl dismissed the cold reply and continued her pursuit with a shy smile: “A few of my friends and I would like to hang out with with you, are you free?” She pointed at the group of pretty girls standing far behind her. They were all shyly looking in Ye Wei’s direction and giggling.

“Sorry, I don’t have time!” Ye Wei shook his head and directly replied. He walked past her without a second thought.

Ye Wei’s reaction stupefied the group of girls.

“Who would have guessed that this red Sentient boy had it in him?”

“Joe Yin must really regret what she did to him now!”

Just behind the girls around the corner stood a girl with ear length hair. She was quietly watching Ye Wei walking towards Lin Zi Yan’s house. Two lines of tears slid down her rosy cheeks as the group of girls talked about how she had missed her chance. Joe Yin saw Ye Wei on her way back from class, but she didn’t even have to courage to say hello to him.

She regretted her actions dearly, but regret would not help her by now.
