Chapter 660: Chapter 655: The Eight Great Noble Families, Tang Lin?

"You should leave. Ye Chenyu will not see you."

The gray-robed old man, whose name was Liu Tong, coldly ordered him to leave.

Just who was Ye Chenyu?

She was born with Heavy Pupils. On her very first day at Creation Academy, several of the academy’s Elders had vied for her. It had to be understood that those Elders were all great figures who had been famous for ages and were ranked on the Celestial List. Any single one of them possessed immense power; a mere stomp of their foot could shake the world. And yet, they fought to take Ye Chenyu as their Closed-door Disciple, nearly coming to blows over it.

Great figures from several other institutes had even personally come to Creation Academy, hoping to snatch Ye Chenyu away. In the end, if Ye Chenyu hadn’t declared her intention to stay, those other institutes would likely have tried to take her by force.

All of this was because of her Heavy Pupils.

Heavy Pupils were far too special. Rumor had it that these eyes possessed the incredible ability known as Future Sight, allowing one to foresee the future and peer into heavenly secrets. It was said that those with such eyes were favored by the heavens.

After all, foreseeing the future was an ability that should belong to the heavens alone. Any mortal who attempted to divine fate and glimpse the future, even if they had the means, would suffer Celestial Punishment.

The workings of heaven are unfathomable. Since ancient times, those who dared to probe them have never met a good end!

And all of the Five Great Institutes coveted eyes like these.

The moment Ye Chenyu arrived in the Celestial Domain, her eyes made her a legendary figure there.

How could a person of her stature be someone Ning Jiang could meet just by asking?

Besides, he’d seen far too many people like Ning Jiang. In the less than a year Ye Chenyu had been at the academy, countless arrogant, self-important prodigies had come to Creation Academy hoping to catch a glimpse of her.

In Liu Tong’s eyes, those men were all just ignorant toads. When compared to someone with Heavy Pupils, even a person born with an Innate King’s Body wasn’t qualified to pursue Ye Chenyu.

As for Ning Jiang, he was just like the rest of them, completely overestimating himself. Liu Tong could tell that Ning Jiang’s physique was no King’s Body, not even a Spirit Body. He was merely a Mortal Body.

Although history had seen Top Level experts emerge from Mortal Bodies, such individuals were exceedingly rare. ’And I highly doubt this young man has that kind of potential,’ he thought.

"As I said, you only need to inform her. Chenyu will come and see me herself." Ning Jiang showed no intention of leaving.

He would not leave until he saw Ye Chenyu.

"Hmph?" Liu Tong’s brow furrowed, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "I said she won’t see you. Do you not understand? Who do you think you are to her? Ye Chenyu is a treasure of Creation Academy, personally instructed by several Elders. Even the academy’s own disciples find it nearly impossible to get an audience with her, so what gives you the right? Let alone expecting her to come out to see *you*!"

Seeing Ye Chenyu was a matter of seeking an audience.

’But to claim that Ye Chenyu would come out to meet Ning Jiang of her own accord? That’s just absurd. Utterly laughable.’

’Ye Chenyu is like a Phoenix, high above the masses. A Goddess like her, coming out to meet this brat? That’s pure fantasy.’

"Since you’re unwilling to inform her for me, I’ll just have to go in and find Chenyu myself," Ning Jiang said, shaking his head.

"Hm? What did you just say?" Liu Tong’s eyes narrowed. "You dare try to force your way in? Leaving aside whether your Cultivation is even high enough to succeed, are you aware that even a Celestial Martial Realm King who tries to barge into Creation Academy will only meet a dead end?"

As he spoke, Liu Tong sized up Ning Jiang’s Cultivation again. It was, indeed, only at the Earth Martial Realm.

’A mere Earth Martial Realm cultivator dares to speak to me like that? He must be insane. My Cultivation is at the Supreme Celestial Rank! I could crush him with one hand!’

SWOOSH...

Just then, a massive silver eagle flew in from the distant sky, its outstretched wings as vast as mountains. It was a rather formidable Demon Beast known as a Silver-Winged White-Headed Eagle, and a figure stood upon its back.

"Steward Liu, long time no see. I trust you’ve been well."

The giant eagle flew closer, revealing a dashingly handsome young man on its back. His face was like polished jade, and one glance was enough to tell he was the young master of a Noble Family.

"Oh? It’s you, Tang Fei. What brings you here?" Liu Tong said with a glance.

"Steward Liu, I’ve come to see my older brother. I hope you can make an exception and let me pass." The young man, Tang Fei, clasped his hands in a salute while simultaneously producing a Storage Ring and handing it to Liu Tong.

"You’re a sensible one, kid. Alright, go on in."

Liu Tong gave a slight smile, accepted the Storage Ring, and waved Tang Fei through.

But before Tang Fei could enter, Ning Jiang’s calm voice rang out, "Didn’t you say Creation Academy was hosting honored guests and not receiving visitors?"

"You have a problem with that?"

Liu Tong snorted and pointed at Tang Fei. "Do you know who this is? He is the second young master of the Tang Family, and even more importantly, the younger brother of Tang Lin, wielder of the Crimson Flame King Body! On that connection alone, he can enter Creation Academy. As for you? You can get lost."

Tang Lin of the Crimson Flame King Body was one of Creation Academy’s Core Disciples. For someone with an Innate King’s Body, especially with the academy’s resources, becoming a Celestial Martial Realm King in the future was a certainty.

Moreover, it was highly likely he would become a King powerful enough to be ranked on the Celestial List.

It was only wise for Liu Tong to curry favor with someone of such limitless potential. Besides, Tang Lin’s background was extraordinary; in the Human Race’s Ninety-nine Provinces, the Tang Family was one of the Eight Great Noble Families and possessed an ancient and storied history.

Within the Human Race’s Ninety-nine Provinces, the Eight Great Noble Families were second in power only to the Three Dynasties and Five Institutes.

"Steward Liu, who is this? Does he have a problem with me entering Creation Academy?" Tang Fei shot a contemptuous glance at Ning Jiang.

"This fellow doesn’t know his own limits. Not only does he want to see Ye Chenyu, but he actually claimed that if I just announced his name, she would come out to meet him," Liu Tong said with a shake of his head.

Hearing this, a flash of mockery appeared in Tang Fei’s eyes. "Even *I* can’t get an audience with Ye Chenyu. You? You’re not worthy to even be considered. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll get out of here. Otherwise, if some of Ye Chenyu’s admirers inside the academy hear what you’ve said, they’ll be sure to teach you a lesson."

With that, Tang Fei spurred his Silver-Winged White-Headed Eagle forward, preparing to enter Creation Academy.

But just then, a single sentence from Ning Jiang stopped Tang Fei dead in his tracks:

"Even your own brother, Tang Lin, wouldn’t dare speak to me like that. What makes you think *you* have the right to criticize me?"

Ning Jiang remembered the name Tang Lin quite clearly.

Back in the East Sea, when he and Ye Chenyu had parted ways, an arrogant Tang Lin had come to challenge him. In the end, Ning Jiang had activated the power of his Sun and Moon Divine Eye and defeated him with a single palm strike.

’I never thought I’d run into Tang Lin’s brother here,’ he mused. ’Is the Tang Family fated to clash with me?’

"What did you say? You dare insult my brother?"

Tang Fei’s eyes turned icy as killing intent flared within them. "It looks like you won’t understand until I teach you a lesson that there are some people you can’t afford to provoke!"
