"Senior Li!"

"Senior Ye!"

The students greeted Li Fei and Ye Shuang with respect. Their attitude had completely changed in comparison to how they treated Qin Feng. Ye Shuang and Li Fei did not respond to their greetings. They only nodded. In public, they had to keep up their image. If they acted too arrogantly, their reputation would be ruined.

Then, Li Fei asked, "I heard that someone is applying for Jiang University. Who is it?"

"Senior Li, it's him."

One of the students pointed at Qin Feng. The latter was still standing in front of his homeroom teacher.

Li Fei looked in the pointed direction. At first, he was confused. It was because he did not recognize this person. He took another glance and was even more confused. Qin Feng looked good, but he was clearly not from a rich family. Why would someone like him apply for Jiang University?

Ye Shuang had the same thought. She mumbled, "Him?"

"Junior Ye, do you know this person?"

Li Fei, the Houtian-level martial artist, could not surpass his curiosity.

"Yes, he saved my life before."

Ye Shuang did not hide anything and immediately answered. 

"Your savior? A student who can't even pass the first assessment? Interesting."

Li Fei was not exactly the kindest person. He was more of a martial arts fanatic and workaholic. After hearing Ye Shuang's words, his interest in Qin Feng was piqued. 

Another student opened his mouth and began explaining, "Senior Li, his name is Qin Feng. He's in grade 12, class 6. He had failed the Qingping Martial Arts University's first assessment. I think he had just misspoken." 

Upon hearing that, Li Fei's interest immediately dissipated. After all, Qin Feng had failed the Qingping Martial Arts University's assessment. How could he ever hope to enter Jiang University? Unless he intentionally concealed his strength or had received intense training from a grandmaster, he stood no chance.

Li Fei analyzed the situation and thought the first possibility was impossible. Why would a regular person like him hide his talent? Anyone else would have shown off. The second possibility was also impossible. In conclusion, this student had probably hit his head or something. Perhaps he was trying to attract people's attention. Regardless, it was none of Li Fei's concerns and he could not be bothered anymore.

The homeroom teacher suddenly spoke, "Qin Feng, why don't you reconsider your choice?" Her face was pale. This situation even involved a genius from Jiang University. It was very awkward. She hoped that Qin Feng had merely misspoke. 

"No, I want to apply for Jiang University!"

Qin Feng was adamant. After he uttered that sentence, the whole place was in an uproar again! Everyone was mocking him!

The homeroom did not care anymore. She said in a cold business-like tone, "The registration fee is 1,000 coins."

Qin Feng did not want to waste any more time either. He had to rush home to see if there were new developments. Hence, he quickly swiped his bank card to pay for the fees.

Once that was done, he turned around nonchalantly. Ye Shuang exchanged gazes with him. However, Qin Feng remained indifferent.

Ye Shuang thought he was just pretending. At the same time, she felt helpless. Qin Feng was her savior and the Ye family had wronged him. She was not an unreasonable person. Thus, she really wanted to make up to him. Unfortunately, she did not have the chance. After hearing that he was going to send an application for Jiang University, an idea popped into her head. She took out a medicine bottle and said, "This is a first-grade blood pill. It'll help you tremendously for the second assessment."

Her voice echoed throughout the hall. 

Some students had no idea what was happening. They began discussing among themselves. 

"F*ck, what's their relationship?"

"Ten blood pills? That's worth 100,000 federation coins!"

"Why didn't Senior Ye take notice of me?"

"If I had ten blood pills, I wouldn't have failed the first assessment."

"I'm so envious!"

Most of the students were jealous. The news of Qin Feng being Ye Shuang's savior began to spread. Everything started to make more sense. 

"So that's what happened."

"If only I was the one who saved her…"

"He's lucky."

In any case, Ye Shuang was simply returning the favor. Everyone thought Qin Feng would accept the pills gratefully. 

Unexpectedly, he said, "Senior Ye, please make way." 

Those words shocked the entire crowd.
