Hu Liena rushed to Ao Tian's side, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, her gaze frozen on his face.
At this moment, her world consisted of nothing but Ao Tian.
During the long time Ao Tian had been gone, her longing for him was like a suppressed volcano, outwardly calm, but inwardly accumulating energy.
Now, seeing the man she had longed for day and night, this volcano within her could no longer be suppressed and erupted.
She stared fixedly at Ao Tian, tears glistening in her eyes. If it weren't for the last vestige of girlish modesty restraining her, she would have already thrown herself into Ao Tian's arms.
"Sister Liena, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly," Xiao Wu said from the side, pulling Hu Liena back from her world of only her and Ao Tian.
Hu Liena was startled, immediately feeling a pang of regret. This was her teacher's man! How could she have such thoughts about him?
She nodded, looked at Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena, and said, "Yes, Xiao Wu, Sister Na'er, long time no see."
Although Xiao Wu and Gu Yuena were both wearing veils, she recognized them at a glance.
When she saw Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Li, she was a little puzzled, but didn't ask anything.
The man who had been standing to Hu Liena's left earlier gave a few instructions to his teammates, and the six students from the Spirit Hall Academy left the group and returned to the academy.
The remaining two walked towards Hu Liena.
One of them was tall, over 1.9 meters, with short black hair that stood up like steel needles. His face was calm, and his steps were unhurried. As he walked, he exuded an invisible confidence, the kind of conviction that only a strong person who had defeated countless opponents would have.
The other was also burly, but his appearance was more ordinary. He had long, fiery red hair that cascaded down his back, and even his eyes were dark red. Like the black-haired youth, he also exuded absolute confidence at all times.
However, compared to the calmness of the black-haired youth, the red-haired youth's expression was somewhat gloomy.
As he walked, his gaze was fixed on Ao Tian, the intensity of his dark red eyes growing ever sharper.
"Nana, who are these people?" the red-haired youth asked as soon as he approached.
The black-haired youth also looked at Hu Liena curiously.
As Hu Liena's closest companions, they had never seen Ao Tian and the others before.
It seemed Hu Liena had a very good relationship with these people, especially the man whose looks could make almost any man envious; Hu Liena's attitude towards that man seemed somewhat unusual.
Therefore, both the black-haired and red-haired youths were puzzled.
Hu Liena quickly said, "Let me introduce you. This is Ao Tian, this is Xiao Wu, and this is Gu Yuena, all my good friends."
She pointed to the black-haired and red-haired youths, saying, "Ao Tian, this is my elder brother Xie Yue, and this is my friend Yan."
"Hello," Xie Yue said, looking at Ao Tian.
Ao Tian nodded slightly.
Xie Yue frowned slightly but didn't say anything more.
"Hello, my name is Yan." Yan's expression had returned to normal, and he extended his hand to Ao Tian with a smile.
His soul power was already subtly mobilizing, flowing towards his arm.
He was very displeased and wanted to teach this man, whose looks he envied, a lesson.
"Hu Liena has already said it, you don't need to repeat yourself," Ao Tian said indifferently.
Yan's face stiffened, then he withdrew his hand and sneered, "Nana, is this how rude your friend is?"
Hu Liena was anxious and was about to defend Ao Tian when Xiao Wu spoke up angrily.
"You red-haired devil, you're the rude one!" Xiao Wu shouted angrily.
Yan's gaze fell on Xiao Wu, and a powerful aura erupted from him, pressing down on her.
Hu Liena anxiously blocked Yan's path, saying, "Brother Yan, I want to meet up with my friends. You and my brother should go back first."
Seeing this, Yan had no choice but to back down.
Xie Yue asked, "Little sister, I've never heard of you having such a group of friends before?"
"Brother, you're not with me all the time. These are friends I met by chance," Hu Liena said.
She didn't reveal the true identities of Ao Tian and Xiao Wu.
After all, Ao Tian was Bibi Dong's man, and Xiao Wu, Gu Yuena, and Bibi Dong addressed each other as sisters. If she revealed this, Xie Yue and Yan certainly wouldn't believe it.
Ao Tian glanced at Yan indifferently and smiled, "Nana, we're touring Wuhun City right now, why don't you come along?"
Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face flushed, and she softly hummed in agreement.
"He actually called me Nana," Hu Liena thought to herself, her heart pounding wildly.
Such an intimate address from Ao Tian's mouth immediately threw her heart into turmoil.
Xie Yue frowned as he watched Hu Liena's pretty face flush slightly, then glanced at the girls surrounding Ao Tian.
Yan was furious, his dark red eyes practically spitting fire.
Hu Liena, too shy to notice, didn't.
Xie Yue said, "Little sister, your brother isn't here with you. You must protect yourself and not be fooled by sweet talk."
"I know, I'm not a child anymore," Hu Liena replied.
"Let's go," Ao Tian said, turning and leaving.
Xiao Wu and the other girls quickly followed.
Hu Liena turned back and said, "Brother, you and Brother Yan go back to the academy first. I'll come back later."
With that, she strode off, hurrying after Ao Tian and the others.
Yan stood there, watching the beautiful figure run away, his face ashen, his clenched fists cracking.
Xie Yue also frowned deeply.
Hu Liena's behavior was very abnormal; he had never seen his sister so shy before.
Hu Liena blushed at a single sentence from a man named Ao Tian, clearly indicating she might have fallen for the handsome man.
His beloved sister had someone she liked; Xie Yue, not only Hu Liena's older brother but also her father, had cared for her for so many years. How could he not be concerned?
Especially since Ao Tian was surrounded by five girls, which displeased him, fearing his sister would be deceived by a playboy.
"No, I have to go and see," Yan said, about to chase after him.
Xie Yue reached out and stopped Yan, saying, "Let her go. Nothing will happen in broad daylight. Going there like this might only anger her. I'll have a good talk with her when she gets back."
"But that pretty boy clearly has ill intentions. Nana is so innocent, I'm worried..."
"Alright! I know you like my sister, but your reckless pursuit will only make Nana angry," Xie Yue said.
"Then what can we do? Just watch Nana get deceived?" Yan was unwilling to give up.
Xie Yue said, "This matter can't be rushed. I need to talk to Nana first, and then secretly investigate that Ao Tian to see what his true identity is. Only then can I formulate a targeted plan. You're always so impulsive; how can I entrust my sister to you?"
Yan exhaled heavily in anger and said, "Alright then, I'll listen to you. If that brat really intends to harm Nana, I will absolutely crush his bones one by one!"
