A beautiful young woman was sitting on the steps of the stairs with her hands under her chin. She looked troubled. Ye Tianyi knew her. To be more accurate, all the memories about her surged into his mind the moment he laid eyes on her. 

Xing Baobao, the granddaughter of Tenseng Academy headmaster. Ye Tianyi was honestly shocked to see her. 

Piercing eyes, perfectly curved brows, long luscious lashes, porcelain skin with a hint of pink, and lips as delicate and tender as a rose petal. She had the most beautiful eyes. It was like they could talk and looked very soulful. She had cute little dimples whenever she pouted. Her style was simple—she had on a white shirt and jeans with white sneakers while she wore a light-weighted sword around her waist. She exuded a youthful aura, but there was a hint of sadness right between her brows. Every move she made seemed so delicate. People naturally felt the need to protect her, and scumbags wanted to bully her.

M*therfucker! This beautiful girl. This bastard and his friends were going to …

Luckily they didn’t succeed! Damn!

Xing Baobao. Some called her Xingxing, some called her Xing’er, while those closer to her called her Bao bao…

“Brother Tianyi.”

Xing Baobao looked surprised the moment she saw Ye Tianyi. She stood up and wanted to run to him for a hug before remembering something. She stood there biting her lips, holding the corner of her shirt with both hands. 

Ye Tianyi was not sure what he should have done when he saw her. Although it wasn’t actually him that did her wrong, it was rather awkward.

“Ding … You’ve triggered the mission [Push Xing Baobao Down];

“Mission Reward: Sky grade Ice Attribute power; 

“Mission Punishment: none; 

“Mission Duration: During the existence of the Scumbag System”

Ye Tianyi; “…”

As expected, Xing Baobao scored 94 points. The Rogue System triggered her mission, but the mission was to push her over right away? 

My god!

“Ahem—”

Ye Tianyi touched his nose and coughed, unsure of how to face her.

“I’m sorry, Brother Tianyi. Grandfather…grandfather said he’d kill you if he ever saw the both of us together, so…” Xing Baobao said gently as she bit her lip.

She really wanted to hold him, but…could not.

She knew what happened that night. The others had told her. Sometimes, girls who are in love do silly things. Even though she knew about it, she could not let him go because she really liked Ye Tianyi. Under normal circumstances, she would have chosen to forgive Ye Tianyi. At the very least, she did not blame him. She even looked out for him. 

“It’s alright, it’s my fault,” Ye Tianyi nodded to her slightly, walked not too far from her, and sat down. He lit a cigarette. 

Xing Baobao bit her lip and looked down, holding on to the corner of her shirt silently. 

“Ye Tianyi, you’ve arrived. Let’s get ready to depart. Xingxing, you get ready, too,” Shang Yu said as he brought seven others over. 

They had no idea who Xing Baobao was. Even the people in Tenseng Academy did not know about the relationship between Xing Baobao and Headmaster Xing. All they knew was that Ye Tianyi raped the granddaughter of the Tenseng Academy headmaster, but not many knew who the granddaughter was. 

“Right, copy that captain,” Xing Baobao nodded and looked at Ye Tianyi. 

Yi Tianyi’s eyes were on Xing Baobao, too.

“Where are you going?” Ye Tianyi frowned and said. She, too, wanted to ask Ye Tianyi the same question.

“I wanted to take some time to relax, so I joined the Scarlet Legion for some training. You too…?”

“You’d better not go.”

“Hey, you can’t do that. We’ve signed the agreement, and tasks have been assigned. You two look like you know each other, so that’s even better. You can take care of each other,” Shang Yu said.

Xing Baobao looked at Ye Tianyi and said softly, “I want to go.”

Ye Tianyi sighed. 

“Alright.”

Ye Tianyi glanced over at the seven people. They looked ordinary, but there was one guy with tanned skin that looked rather handsome. Ye Tianyi paid particular attention to the man, who was a few years older than him. There was something extraordinary in his eyes. 

“Let’s get into the car first. We’ll introduce ourselves on the way there.”

Shang Yu drove a medium-sized bus over and everyone got onto the bus. They proceeded toward the outskirts of Tensui Sacred City.

The Thousand-Beast Forest was situated right outside of the Tensui Empire. Shang Yu would not have accepted the business deal otherwise. It took about four hours to get from Tensui Sacred City to the Tensui Empire and another hour to get to the Thousand-Beast forest. 

Ye Tianyi sat with Xing Baobao, who was seated next to the window, blushing slightly. She did not dare to look at Ye Tianyi. 

Ye Tianyi thought it was weird. It was his fault, but why was she acting like it was hers?

“Hey, Ye Tianyi. Are you the scumbag from the Tensui Sacred City rumor? Hahaha!” Zhang Chao teased and could not help but laugh.

“Zhang Chao, you don’t understand. Look how close Ye Tianyi and this beautiful girl is. If he was the scumbag, this beautiful girl wouldn’t have befriended him, right?” another young person said to Ye Tianyi, smiling. 

Ye Tianyi rubbed his nose and nodded awkwardly. 

“I’ll say. That Ye Tianyi is really something. He had the audacity to rape the granddaughter of the Tenseng Academy headmaster. Though everyone is roasting him, it’s not something an ordinary person could do,” Shang Yu said while driving.

“Yeah. He’s quite the legend in Tensui Sacred City.”

These people kept circulating around this particular topic. Ye Tianyi and Xing Baobao felt extremely awkward.

“Baobao, didn’t you tell your grandfather?”

Ye Tianyi turned to look at Xing Baobao.

Xing Baobao lowered her gaze and shook her head slightly.

“Of course. If your grandfather knew, he wouldn’t have allowed you to go to the Thousand-Beast Forest.” Ye Tianyi shook his head, too. 

“Brother Ye, the Thousand-Beast Forest is not that scary. I’ve been there twice, and this will be my third. I, the little Bright Aperture stage attainer, am still alive,” Wang wen laughed and said.

Ye Tianyi nodded and smiled, “You’re amazing.” 

“I’m not that amazing. It’s just that the Thousand-Beast Forest is too big. There are many demon beasts, but if we stay on the outskirts, it lessens our chances of coming across any great demon beasts.”

Ye Tianyi didn’t feel like talking to them because Xing Baobao was here.

“Just follow me when we get there,” Ye Tianyi told Xing Baobao.

“Brother Tianyi, why are you going there?” Xing Baobao asked Ye Tianyi softly after finally mustering up the courage to ask. 

She was usually an outstanding person, but she felt self-conscious in front of Ye Tianyi. Perhaps Ye Tianyi was too handsome, or maybe people who have developed feelings for another would always feel self-conscious in front of them. 

Xing Baobao knew Ye Tianyi was a scumbag, but she did not care. It was far too dangerous for Ye Tianyi to go to the Thousand-Beast Forest. 

“I’m here with you because I want to protect you.”

Ye Tianyi grinned.
