CHAPTER 28: REVISED: CHAPTER 28 THE NOISY CATS AND DOGS

Stray cats and stray dogs?

When those rich kids heard Shi Tian’s words, they immediately burst into unrestrained laughter.

They naturally knew that by "stray cats and stray dogs," Shi Tian was referring to Ye Fei.

But in their eyes, their family background compared to Ye Fei’s was like heaven versus earth.

Mocking Ye Fei wasn’t a big deal, even the teacher at the podium didn’t dare intervene—what could Ye Fei possibly do?

If Ye Fei really dared to do something, they wouldn’t mind showing him the cold and harsh realities of life.

However, Ye Fei’s expression remained indifferent, instantly dulling their interest.

Not long after, the group went back to their previous topic.

"By the way, Shi Tian, I heard from my dad that your family is planning something big again recently, right?" Han Fenfen looked at Shi Tian with a smile and asked.

"Not really!"

Shi Tian’s face glowed with excitement as he said, "Just some collaborations with Skyhawk Group!"

Skyhawk Group?

Han Fenfen was stunned upon hearing this, her mouth gaping wide, while the others hurriedly gathered around.

"Shi Tian, are you talking about the Guo Family’s Skyhawk Group?"

"Woah! That’s impressive! The Guo Family is the biggest elite clan in Yuntai!"

"Exactly, people say that as long as you have connections with the Guo Family, you can do whatever you want in Yingtian!"

Listening to their remarks, the pride in Shi Tian’s eyes grew even more pronounced, and he quickly laughed, "It’s nothing much! Just accompanied my dad on a visit to the Guo Family and chatted with Miss Guo for a bit."

"A bit? I heard that Miss Guo is an ice-cold beauty who keeps strangers at bay! You actually managed to talk to her? Looks like we’ll have to start calling you the Guo Family’s esteemed son-in-law!" a male student suddenly said enviously.

Although they were rich kids, even among them, there were tiers.

Compared to the Guo Family, the most powerful elite in Yingtian, they were clearly just minor figures.

Just as Shi Tian was basking in his smugness...

Suddenly, someone outside the door shouted, "Quick! Come out and take a look—a gorgeous beauty has arrived! And she’s an ice-cold beauty at that! Hurry up!"

"A beauty? Hmph! Just a bunch of inexperienced fools!"

Han Fenfen scoffed disdainfully upon hearing this.

Yet the others seemed mesmerized, their eyes gleaming, apparently deaf to Han Fenfen’s words.

Seeing their reactions, Han Fenfen furrowed her brows and glanced toward the classroom door.

There stood a woman with a flawless figure and exquisite features. Her presence was striking, and her aura was remarkable and out of the ordinary.

Comparing herself with this woman, even the usually confident Han Fenfen felt somewhat inferior deep inside.

If Han Fenfen felt this way, the boys in the class were even worse, appearing completely entranced. Seeing the woman at the doorway, they swallowed hard, their eyes refusing to blink.

Only Shi Tian managed to keep up a semblance of composure.

As he glanced at his stunned classmates, he whispered smugly, "Speak of the devil—here she is! Quit gawking, everyone; this is the Guo Family’s Miss Guo, Guo Can!"

Miss Guo?

When they heard this, the group stared in shock, alternating their gaze between Shi Tian and Guo Can.

They had joked earlier about Shi Tian possibly becoming the Guo Family’s esteemed son-in-law.

But now that Guo Can had come to the classroom in person, what was going on?

Could it be that Shi Tian really had risen through the ranks to become part of the Guo Family?

Shi Tian himself was surprised at Guo Can’s unexpected appearance, but seeing the astonishment on everyone’s faces, he immediately straightened his clothes, put on what he believed was his most handsome smile, and stepped forward to say, "Miss Guo, I..."

Swish!

Before Shi Tian could finish his sentence, Guo Can walked right past him, leaving his hand awkwardly hanging in midair.

Then, under Shi Tian’s stunned gaze, Guo Can approached Ye Fei and respectfully said, "Mr. Ye, I apologize for intruding on you. Please forgive me."

Clang!

A male student dropped his pen on the floor.

Finally, everyone was shell-shocked, staring at the scene in disbelief.

Shi Tian, in particular, was frozen like a statue, utterly motionless.

It was unclear how much time passed.

Shi Tian finally managed to stammer, "G-Guo... Miss Guo, what is this..."

"Huh? Who are you? And why are you standing behind me?" Guo Can frowned and asked.

Poof!

Shi Tian felt as if he had blood rushing into his throat.

Me? Who am I?

I just visited the Guo Family a few days ago, and you’ve already forgotten me?

And why am I standing behind you?

Obviously, you ignored me like I was air and walked past—now you ask why I’m standing behind you?

Faced with the heiress of the most powerful family in Yuntai, Shi Tian could do nothing but swallow his frustration and say with a forced smile, "Miss Guo, I am Shi Tian. A few days ago, I accompanied my father to visit your family. Don’t you remember?"

"People come to my family all the time to deliver gifts and try to curry favor—am I supposed to remember everyone?"

Guo Can frowned slightly, then completely ignored Shi Tian. Like a diligent schoolgirl awaiting her teacher, she stood respectfully in front of Ye Fei, awaiting his response.

At this point, even the slowest among them understood what was really happening!

Guo Can had clearly come here for Ye Fei.

As for Shi Tian’s boasts about visiting the Guo Family and chatting with Guo Can—it was nothing but self-aggrandizing nonsense.

In reality, Shi Tian and his father were just like all the others trying to ingratiate themselves with the Guo Family by delivering gifts.

The Guo Family hadn’t even bothered to remember Shi Tian.

The group couldn’t help but laugh at Shi Tian’s attempts to flex, while also feeling deeply astonished about Ye Fei.

Could Ye Fei really have ties to the Guo Family?

But just as they thought the answer was about to emerge, Ye Fei furrowed his brows and casually said, "I’m in the middle of class. If you have something to say, wait until after class."

With that, Ye Fei picked up a book and started reading, treating Guo Can as if she were invisible.

If it had been before, anyone who treated her like this would have been kicked by Guo Can in a fit of anger.

But after the ancient tomb incident, Guo Can had learned that Ye Fei wasn’t just an Innate Martial King but someone whose skills were terrifyingly powerful—so much so that even her family felt intimidated.

So Guo Can nodded and meekly said, "Then, Mr. Ye, please carry on with your class. I’ll wait for you outside the classroom."

"Mhm."

Ye Fei nodded slightly while continuing to read his book, seemingly indifferent.

Under everyone’s astonished gaze, Guo Can really headed outside to wait.

Who was that?

That was the Guo Family’s eldest daughter!

She had come to discuss something with Ye Fei—and was willing to wait outside?

The group felt their worldview collapsing as they witnessed this scene.

But just then, Ye Fei suddenly said, "Wait a moment!"

Guo Can immediately stopped in her tracks upon hearing him.

The group sighed in relief, thinking that Ye Fei still knew better than to offend the Guo Family’s heiress.

But before their thoughts could settle, they heard Ye Fei casually say, "Next time, don’t come here to bother me. I really don’t like it."

The group nearly keeled over...
