Chapter 55 Confrontations and Confessions

A car stopped not far from the entrance gate, parked alongside the other vehicles. A beautiful blond girl got out of the car, accompanied by a middle-aged man.

It was Liu Qian and her father. Today was a special day, so Liu Hai wanted to capture the moment.

As Liu Hai's gaze drifted, he spotted an old friend, prompting him to address his daughter, "Qian'er, the event isn't starting just yet, is it? I'd like to catch up with someone. Would that be alright with you?" His tone was warm, seeking her consent.

"It's fine, Dad, take your time," Liu Qian replied.

"Great, I'll catch up with you later," Liu Hai smiled and then walked away from there.

With her father's departure, Liu Qian continued her walk into the heart of the school. The air buzzed with excitement as she entered the school grounds, a sense of anticipation amplifying her eagerness for the martial spirit awakening.

Amidst the vibrant environment, students congregated around the corridors. Today's grand event had suspended the routine of classes, paving the way for the day's spectacle.

"Liu Qian, wait up," at this very moment, she heard a familiar voice from behind.

She turned around and saw Ye Chen running towards her.

Their reunion was a moment of delight, marked by Ye Chen's warm greeting, "Hey, good morning." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

"Good morning, Ye Chen," Liu Qian responded, her lips curving into a gentle smile.

Ye Chen was utterly captivated by Liu Qian's smile; it was so sweet and soft. But today, he wanted to hear the truth.

"Shall we walk together? There's something I'd like to discuss," Ye Chen's words carried a note of hesitation, his eagerness mingling with nerves.

"Sure," Liu Qian agreed, her nod an affirmation of their connection.

With that, the two of them walked among the crowd.

Ye Chen was quite nervous; since he started dating Liu Qian, they hadn't spent much time together, and even they had never been out alone together.

The vibrant atmosphere prompted him to initiate a conversation, his tone cautious as he broached a topic, "It's quite lively, isn't it? How do you feel about the upcoming martial spirit awakening?"

Liu Qian's response was tinged with confidence, "I'm fairly optimistic. Throughout our family's history, no one has encountered failure when it comes to awakening their martial spirit."

"I see. It seems nice to have such a long family history," Ye Chen smiled bitterly.

He came from a poor family, and both his parents died in an accident when he was in middle school. Fortunately, they left him a house and some money, so he managed to survive.

Liu Qian, on the other hand, held Ye Chen's hand, "Don't think like that, Ye Chen. You might not have a long family history, but I believe that in the future, you'll become a strong cultivator and create your own history," she comforted, smiling sweetly.

Ye Chen's heart raced as he saw the smile on Liu Qian's face. Unconsciously, his cheeks reddened. He felt incredibly lucky to be dating someone as beautiful as Liu Qian.

"Thank you, Liu Qian," he said sincerely, a smile on his face.

Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Qian's voice interjected, "I'm really tired of all these questions, Ye Chen. Maybe we should just stop here."

Without waiting for Ye Chen's response, she turned away and walked off.

As he watched Liu Qian's retreating figure, an urge to stop her tugged at Ye Chen's thoughts. Yet, a sense of guilt tempered his intentions, realizing that his inquiries might have been too intense.

"Was I too harsh on her? Sigh, I should've been more gentle," he pondered, a sense of regret in his tone.

In a different corner of the area, Long Tian approached a well-dressed middle-aged man.

"I didn't expect to see you here, dad. Did Uncle Ling inform you?" Long Tian asked, his eyebrows raised in curiosity.

"Do you really think I wouldn't know about the martial spirit awakening day? Who do you think organized this whole event?" Long Zhan replied, his lips curling into a knowing smile.

"Of course, you are the owner of this school," Long Tian said, a hint of resignation in his voice.

"Surely I wouldn't miss out on such a special occasion. Unfortunately, your mother couldn't make it," Long Zhan said.

"No worries," Long Tian reassured.

"Anyway, are you feeling optimistic about awakening your martial spirit?" Long Zhan inquired.

A confident grin spread across Long Tian's face as he replied, "If I manage to awaken a martial spirit that is more than just an ordinary dragon, would you be open to granting me a gift?"

"I'll give you anything you want," Long Zhan replied, a grin gracing his feature.

"In that case, I want the Seven Forms Pagoda owned by the Ning family," Long Tian revealed, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"What?" Long Zhan's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He was well aware of the Seven Forms Pagoda's significance—a prized possession of the Ning family.

"Is it possible?" Long Tian asked, his curiosity evident.

"If you manage to impress me with the martial spirit you awaken, I'll consider handing over the Seven Forms Pagoda to you. It won't be an easy thing, but it's not impossible," Long Zhan answered, a challenge in his tone.

"You can count on me to hold you to that, Dad," Long Tian said firmly.

"Rest assured, if I make a promise, I'm confident it's achievable," Long Zhan stated, crossing his arms.

"Alright then, I..."

Before Long Tian could finish his sentence, an announcement interrupted him, "All students, please take your seats in the designated area. The martial spirit awakening ceremony is about to begin."

Excitement buzzed through the air, infecting everyone around, including Long Tian. "I better get going, Dad," he said, ready to head to his seat.

"Good luck," Long Zhan nodded.

With that, Long Tian headed toward the seating area, his confidence soaring as he anticipated the possibility of awakening a remarkable martial spirit—perhaps a super dragon or even a dual martial spirit...
