Chapter 77 Ning Tian and Wu Feng Join Tang Sect
"Alright, alright, be good. Listen to me, come down now."
Ye Chen said as he quickly leaned in and kissed Ning Tian on the side of her face.
"Mm… o-okay…"
Ning Tian's face instantly turned red as she hurriedly slid off Ye Chen's body.
Yet inside, her heart was filled with a strange sweetness.
Because this was the first time Ye Chen had ever kissed her…
Although it wasn't on the lips, she still felt a deep sense of happiness.
"Mm, I'm not washing my face tonight." Ning Tian secretly made up her mind.
"Ye Chen, so you're here~"
Just then, two graceful figures walked over from the distance—it was Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan.
"I didn't expect you to be that strong, even Xu Sanshi got demolished by you~" Tang Ya said with a teasing smile.
Tang Ya had come over very quickly, clearly not checking on Bei Bei.
She had even tossed Huo Yuhao directly to the medical staff, too lazy to bother with him, and completely forgot to pay his treatment fees.
When Huo Yuhao woke up and saw the medical bill, he'd probably vomit blood again…
Shrek Academy did have healers, but their services were not free.
For ordinary students, the cost wasn't too high, but for Huo Yuhao, it would completely drain him dry—and maybe even leave him in debt.
But none of that mattered to Tang Ya.
Right now, the only person in her eyes was Ye Chen.
Even though she had tried her best to overestimate him, thinking Ye Chen could easily beat Bei Bei, she never imagined he would completely crush him.
With this level of power, Ye Chen could probably take on an average Soul King and win easily…
Not only Tang Ya—even Jiang Nannan's gaze on Ye Chen carried a different kind of emotion.
It wasn't just because of his strength.
It was because Ye Chen's fight with Xu Sanshi had been for her sake.
Xu Sanshi had followed her like a shadow, and although she was strong, she wasn't his match. She had been helpless about it for a long time.
Ye Chen stepping in like that to help her shake off Xu Sanshi's harassment had touched her deeply.
She admitted Xu Sanshi was talented and strong, but she couldn't stand his personality and had always felt an instinctive disgust toward him.
That was the main reason she despised him.
Moreover, Xu Sanshi loved to flaunt his power and bully others.
Any boy who had tried to interact with her even a little had been bullied by him.
That kind of arrogance made her look down on him completely.
Both came from noble families, yet Ye Chen was refined, courteous, and treated everyone kindly.
Xu Sanshi, on the other hand, was domineering and used his talent and status to oppress the weak.
The contrast couldn't have been clearer.
After comparing both men, she realized Xu Sanshi was nothing more than trash—not a single redeeming quality about him.
Ye Chen noticed the change in Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya's gazes, but didn't comment. Instead, he turned to Ning Tian and Wu Feng and said, "Wu Feng, Ning Tian, let me introduce you. This is Senior Sister Tang Ya, and this is Senior Sister Jiang Nannan."
"Hello, Senior Sister~"
"Hello, Senior Sister~"
Ning Tian and Wu Feng politely greeted them.
At Shrek Academy, seniority represented strength. Other than rare monsters like Ye Chen, very few younger students had higher soul power than their seniors.
"Well, you're Ye Chen's classmates, right? You're both so strong at such a young age. Maybe you'll catch up to us someday~"
Tang Ya smiled warmly as she greeted them.
Ye Chen had already told her about Ning Tian and Wu Feng's potential—especially Ning Tian, the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If Ning Tian joined the Tang Sect, it would be a huge advantage for them.
As for Wu Feng, she was considered a bonus—but still a good one.
"Oh no, if we grow stronger, you'll also grow stronger too! You're both amazing~" Ning Tian and Wu Feng blushed shyly at the compliments.
After some small talk, Ye Chen finally spoke seriously. "Wu Feng, Ning Tian, have you heard of the Tang Sect?"
"Tang Sect! Do you mean the Tang Sect founded by that legendary figure?!"
Ning Tian covered her mouth in surprise. Clearly, she knew of the Tang Sect's legend.
"Yes, that Tang Sect. Senior Sister Tang Ya, Senior Sister Jiang Nannan, and I are all part of it. This time, I actually wanted to take the opportunity to invite you both to join. Would you be interested?"
Ye Chen revealed his true purpose and extended the invitation to them.
"Huh? I can really join?" Ning Tian blinked in surprise.
In her understanding, the Tang Sect was famous across the continent for its hidden weapons and had one of the strictest recruitment systems.
Different from schools, the Tang Sect never publicly accepted disciples—it worked by recommendation only. Every member needed a personal referral from a senior member to ensure loyalty and trustworthiness.
Ning Tian never expected she would receive such an invitation herself.
However, she and Wu Feng were both from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Could she still join another sect?
Before she could ask, Ye Chen seemed to read her mind and explained, "Right now, the Tang Sect is going through difficult times, so the admission standards aren't as strict. Even though you're a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as long as you're willing, you can still join and become a member. The Tang Sect doesn't impose strict tasks or restrictions—just help rebuild the Tang Sect and never act against it."
"Really?! Then I'm in!"
Ning Tian immediately agreed, eyes lighting up with excitement.
Partly because she was genuinely curious about the Tang Sect, and partly because Ye Chen was a member of it.
By joining, she could get closer to him.
And if their relationship ever developed further, this could rebuild the alliance between the Tang Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The two sects had worked together long ago, though no one knew why that alliance broke off later.
If she could restore that connection in her generation, it would be great news for both sides.
"I'll join too!"
Wu Feng immediately followed suit.
She didn't overthink it—Ning Tian had joined, Ye Chen was a high-level member of the Tang Sect, so of course she had to agree too.
"Haha, perfect. That's wonderful."
Ye Chen laughed happily. Although he expected this outcome, hearing them agree still made him genuinely pleased.
He then suggested, "The Tang Sect has fallen on hard times, so there's no formal initiation ceremony, but there are still many benefits. Apart from our Tang Sect techniques, there's also a small joining gift you'll both love. However, the Sect's details aren't something we can talk about here. Let's discuss everything at the hotel—and celebrate a little while we're at it."
"Alright~ let's go to the Seven Treasures Hotel, I'll treat everyone~" Ning Tian said cheerfully and confidently.
Everyone agreed without hesitation and headed out together.
Meanwhile—
Inside the Grand Soul Arena's medical room.
Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Huo Yuhao all lay side by side, staring at one another silently…
