Chapter 297: You Asked for It!

Chapter 297: You Asked for It!

"Who is this person, so bold? Daring to speak up in front of so many people and talk back to Zhao Zhenren?"

"Probably someone who isn't well-informed, thinking that Zhao is a Fifth Tier of the River Realm and trying to show off in front of Goddess Jiang?"

"Haha, this is going to be good! How can a master of the River Realm be treated so disrespectfully?"

"This person is crazy! Wait, who is that person? It looks like..."

"Holy shit, isn't that Lu Ran?"

"Lu Ran!!! Wow, it's really him, finally seeing the real deal!"

"I knew it, who else would dare to talk back to a master of the River Realm, it's Lu Tianjiao."

Following Jiang Ruyi's gaze, many people turned to look in Lu Ran's direction.

The students around Lu Ran naturally didn't want to be caught in the crossfire, and no one wanted to bear the wrath of a master of the River Realm.

At the same time, the students were genuinely curious to know who was so brave, willing to risk their life just to impress a beauty.

So, as Jiang Ruyi looked over, the crowd on that side began to move aside, creating a path.

And there, a young man dressed in black, wearing a hat and a mask, revealed himself.

The moment they saw him, everyone was shocked!

Who did they see?

The national top scholar, the renowned Great Summer Tianjiao - Lu Ran! In an instant, the entire venue erupted!

Lu Ran's popularity far surpassed that of Jiang Ruyi.

"It's Lu Ran, Lu Ran!!!"

"Flame Dog... I mean, Flame Future is here!"

"Lu Ran! Lu Ran! Lu Ran!"

For a moment, cheers erupted, wave after wave.

Lu Ran ignored all of this and quietly stared at Jiang Ruyi.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Because Jiang Ruyi's bright smile, which she had shown upon their reunion, gradually changed.

She pursed her lips, still smiling, but her eyes held a hint of unspeakable grievance.

Grievance?

Lu Ran was furious! Having just returned from Immortal Sheep Mountain, he had been in a state of inner peace.

Now, Jiang Ruyi's gaze almost made him lose his composure and become a Fiery Heaven believer! Since entering high school, the two of them had been together almost every day.

Lu Ran wasn't exactly a warm and caring guy.

He had made Jiang Ruyi blush, annoyed her, and even made her unhappy with his reproaches.

But he had never made her feel wronged!

"Come." Lu Ran took a step forward and waved at Jiang Ruyi.

Whether it was longing or grievance, Jiang Ruyi, who usually had a thin face, walked towards Lu Ran under everyone's watchful eyes.

And as she took each step, they gradually turned into a graceful flight.

The Jade Talisman Array appeared and then disappeared, and Jiang Ruyi, dressed in a white dress, flew into Lu Ran's embrace like a returning swallow.

Her long hair danced in the wind, and her skirt fluttered lightly.

The gusts of wind blew, wrapping his body in the swirling skirt.

"Wow!!!"

"This is too damn youthful, right?"

"Oh~~~"

"The referee teacher was just scowling, telling irrelevant people to leave, and now he's smiling too. He really has no bottom line."

"It's worth it! I changed my university choice to Wu Lie River University just to witness this moment, haha!"

"I'm always like this, standing in the crowd, witnessing others' happiness again and again."

"Don't be so pitiful, bro, why don't we date?"

On the other side of the venue, Zhao Zhenren's smile froze.

The Vast River,

Not only represented a realm of strength.

But also the status and identity of the person! As a human master, he naturally had his dignity.

Whether it was Lu Ran's disrespectful words or the mocking gazes of those around him, they all caused Zhao Zhenren to lose face! When he had stopped Jiang Ruyi earlier, he had taken a step forward, and she had retreated a step.

That cold gaze was truly heart-wrenching.

Now, Lu Ran had just appeared, and her gaze softened, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Lu Ran had only waved, and she quickly walked over and jumped into his embrace.

Without a moment's hesitation or a trace of concern, it was as if she was declaring her allegiance.

Jiang Ruyi was undoubtedly loyal.

Although the onlookers had various thoughts, some envious, some sour, and some heartbroken,

Regardless, Jiang Ruyi's unique quality made people go crazy for her!

"Did you feel wronged?" Lu Ran held her in his arms, his voice gentle.

Jiang Ruyi pursed her lips, her face buried in Lu Ran's neck, not saying a word.

She had thought that her university life would be wonderful.

But everything turned out differently from what she had expected.

After two issues of 'Heavenly Pride', she became the most dazzling person on campus, entering the school gates with her own halo.

On the very first day of school, many people flocked to her.

Jiang Ruyi was undoubtedly gentle and kind, politely refusing them one by one.

However, her politeness couldn't drive them away; instead, it trapped her in a deeper quagmire.

Young students' confessions were bold and direct.

Those covetous gazes made Jiang Ruyi feel extremely disgusted.

Jiang Ruyi was indeed a Tianjiao, but she was also a small-town girl.

When she stepped out of her small world, everything seemed to change.

This world of suffering gave birth to many crazy people.

It was as if they couldn't see that her heart belonged to someone else, that they hadn't seen her various hints of affection for Lu Ran in 'Heavenly Pride'.

Whether it was those with ulterior motives or fanatical fans, they all troubled and distressed Jiang Ruyi.

If not for her strength and the support of Deng Tian Chang, she might have been trapped after the opening ceremony.

During the day, she was stared at, followed, and even rudely stopped.

At night, her dormitory was repeatedly knocked on, filled with flowers and gifts.

Out of necessity, she put away her gentle nature and put on a cold face.

She tried to regain her state of cultivation from Jade Gate, imitating her senior brothers and sisters, becoming a cold and aloof Jade Talisman believer.

Cold, stern, and unapproachable.

This transformation took less than a day.

It wasn't like this back in high school.

Perhaps it was because the small town had too few students, and their overall strength was lacking, so they kept their distance from her.

Wu Lie River University, while not the top-tier institution in Da Xia, is undoubtedly a first-class academic institution.

Those who are admitted here are naturally strong and confident.

The environment has changed.

The person who accompanied her has also left.

Why did she only return to Lu Ran's message at dawn? Because Jiang Ruyi had been editing for a long time, and she had so much to say to Lu Ran.

In the end, all her words were condensed into the two words "Congratulations," and she sent them out.

She didn't want her own harassment to distract Lu Ran and prevent him from focusing on his cultivation.

"Ruyi?" Lu Ran gently patted her back, speaking softly.

"Mhm," Jiang Ruyi responded softly, like a little cat, gently rubbing her face against Lu Ran's shoulder, inhaling his scent.

Even though there were still countless gazes upon her.

At this moment, Jiang Ruyi felt incredibly secure in Lu Ran's embrace.

"It's finally here, finally seeing the real romance!"

"Isn't this better than 'Heavenly Pride'?"

"Nonsense! In 'Heavenly Pride,' they only hold hands at most, and they have to perform city defense missions. Where's the time for this?"

"Tsk tsk, Zhao Senior's face is dark. Why isn't he leaving?"

"I guess it's hard for him to leave with so many people watching. The River Realm Master has lost face in public."

At this moment, Zhao Zhenren did seem to be in a difficult situation.

As a believer of a First Rank Deity, Zhao Zhenren was undoubtedly a talented individual and an extremely proud warrior.

During his sophomore summer vacation, he even changed his identity and returned to campus as "Vast River."

Lu Ran's words, "Can't you understand human language?" were indeed quite blunt!

More importantly, there were too many onlookers.

The students' whispers were like adding fuel to the fire.

"Lu Tianjiao." Zhao Zhenren's face once again showed a smile, displaying the demeanor of a master, "I just wanted to escort the junior back and help her with her troubles.

Is it necessary to speak so harshly?"

Jiang Ruyi spoke softly, "Let's go, don't pay attention to him."

She could rely on her own strength and her enchanting beauty to persuade some people to leave.

However, there were also some people she couldn't handle, and she had already prepared to ask the school for help.

"Speak harshly?" Lu Ran lifted his eyelids and looked towards Zhao Zhenren.

Zhao Zhenren's smile didn't fade, "The junior is too popular, and she's always stopped by others.

I'm just trying to help her out of good intentions, so she can have a peaceful journey back. Is there a problem with that?"

Lu Ran hummed, "What I see is that everyone else has made way, but only you stopped her.

I've told you several times that you don't need to send her.

You're relying on your strength to bother her incessantly, right?"

Zhao Zhenren's expression changed slightly, but he maintained his smile, "You're not at school, so you don't understand her situation."

"Huh?" Lu Ran laughed, "It's the River Realm, and he's the Great Summer Tianjiao, a master in the eyes of the people. So what?

Are you blaming me for not being by her side?"

Jiang Ruyi gently tugged at Lu Ran's clothes, whispering, "Lu Ran, let's go back."

Zhao Zhenren's smile gradually faded, and he had originally planned to exchange a few words to calm the situation and let it pass.

However, this Lu Ran was really not giving any face at all?

To be honest, it was only because Lu Ran was the Great Summer Tianjiao, and his various performances in 'Heavenly Pride' that Zhao Zhenren had witnessed.

If it were any other student from the River Realm, daring to challenge the River Realm Master like this, Zhao Zhenren would have been much less polite!

Looking at Lu Ran, who didn't budge an inch, he spoke in a deep voice, "Lu Tianjiao represents the face of Da Xia, so you should still discern right from wrong and be more polite in your interactions."

Lu Ran drew his blade from behind and pointed it at the other party. His deep and serene eyes became increasingly cold:

"Stop putting words in my mouth! You're harassing my girlfriend, and you expect me to treat you with courtesy?"

Lu Ran's action of drawing his blade and pointing it at the other party undoubtedly escalated the situation.

The River Realm was provoking the River Realm Master.

Whether it was the status and position of the River Realm Master in the human race throughout history or Zhao Zhenren's own face, this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully.

Zhao Zhenren's expression darkened, "Lu Tianjiao, it's better not to be impulsive.

Here, there are no River Realm Masters to support you."

Lu Ran's most glorious achievement was undoubtedly killing the River Realm's Evil Dog.

However, it was undeniable that when he slew the Demon Lord, he had the assistance of Captain Ge and Senior Liu, not solely Lu Ran's doing.

"Heh." Lu Ran smiled, suddenly turning his head to look towards the left front.

The onlooking students all had expressions of shock and confusion.

Lu Ran looked at one of the male students, "You're right, this is so youthful!"

Lu Ran, who had been facing off against evil demons and blades daily, indeed felt a different atmosphere upon arriving at the university campus.

Male Student: "..."

When Jiang Ruyi had just fallen into Lu Ran's embrace, this student had indeed blurted out those words.

The problem was, with such a distance and so many people discussing, how could you have heard what I said?"

"Lu..." Jiang Ruyi's words were suddenly cut off.

Lu Ran pulled down his mask and gently pressed his lips against her alluring lips.

Jiang Ruyi's face instantly turned red with embarrassment, and she couldn't say anything else.

Even after Lu Ran pushed her behind him, Jiang Ruyi was still dazed, her delicate hand tightly gripping her skirt.

"This, can I watch this for free?"

"Hahaha! No problem, this is so youthful!"

"Flame God, I want a kiss too."

Amidst the commotion, Lu Ran lifted his mask, his gaze fixed on Zhao Zhenren's gloomy face:

"Come, Senior, let's give it a try! Let's see if you have the ability to safely escort my girlfriend back to her dorm."

Zhao Zhenren's expression darkened, and he took a large step forward, "Then let's spar with Lu Tianjiao!"

Remember,

This is what you asked for!
