Special Expert of Beauty CEO

When the eyes of the examinees all turned to Murong Fei and started to offer praises and admiration, Qin Tian’s mood was quite complicated.

The renowned Murong Family of the Tianyuan Dynasty...

In this Spiritual Domain World, he felt as if he was somehow unworthy of Murong Fei.

Moreover, Murong Fei ranked first in the exams; her strength might even surpass Qin Tian’s!

”The speed at which my cultivation improves is already considered extraordinary, but her speed... could it be the pinnacle of extraordinary?”

Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei from afar, who hadn’t noticed him, momentarily lost in thought.

She felt so near yet so distant from him.

”Wow, that girl is really beautiful.”

At this moment, Wang Haoran came up to Qin Tian, drooling as he fixated on Murong Fei, saying, ”God bless me to pass this exam. As long as I pass, I must pursue her. Brother Qin Tian, you’ll help me, won’t you?”

”Help you with what?!”

Immediately, Qin Tian felt a metaphorical green light spark above his head. His gaze turned warningly towards Wang Haoran as he said seriously, ”Brother, if you dare to have ideas about her, I’ll fight you to the end!”

”Hiss...”

Seeing Qin Tian’s serious expression, Wang Haoran froze, ”Qin Tian, are you serious?”

”Serious.”

”No way, have you fallen for her?”

”I have.”

”Wow... so direct. Are you planning to become my love rival? Alright, when it comes to chasing girls, I, Wang Haoran, always make sure to fully understand my competition and myself before engaging. I’ll go and find out more first...”

Wang Haoran chuckled and didn’t get angry with Qin Tian. Instead, he ran into the crowd, starting to gather information about Murong Fei.

A minute later, he walked back towards Qin Tian, crestfallen, shaking his head, ”Qin Tian, forget it. We have no chance. We can only admire from afar... It’s the Murong Family. No wonder she’s so powerful and beautiful. Someone from a prestigious family like that isn’t weak.”

”Oh, the Murong Family is strong?”

”Didn’t you know? The Murong Family is part of the Royal Family, second only to the Imperial Family in the Tianyuan Dynasty. Across the entire dynasty, there are only six families designated as Royal Families, the famed six great Royal Families. Tell me, isn’t that strong?”

Wang Haoran looked at Qin Tian, bitterly smiling, ”See? After all this talk, it turned out to be all for nothing, like drawing water with a sieve.”

Qin Tian said, ”Even if she’s from the Royal Family, I think I still have a chance.”

”Come on, Qin Tian, are you of Royal Family descent?” Wang Haoran laughed.

”No.”

”Then forget about it. Haven’t you heard of the Tianyuan Dynasty’s rules? Marriages within the nobility emphasize matching social status. Even if a Royal Family woman is unattractive, she would still marry someone from the Imperial or Royal Family. Even the nobility have no chance...”

Wang Haoran took another glance at Murong Fei, swallowing again.

”This is what you call a political marriage, aimed at consolidating power among the families. People involved in these situations have little to no autonomy in marriage, family interests always come first.”

Wang Haoran nudged Qin Tian, ”So, you’d better forget it. Look at Murong Fei; she’s beautiful and not young anymore. She’s surely engaged by now. We can only dream...”

”Alright, let’s dream...”

Qin Tian’s gaze locked onto Murong Fei and indeed saw a few refined young men with extraordinary bearings surrounding her, most likely congratulating her.

”Second place, Nangong Bingfeng, third place, Zhang Ling, fourth place, Ji Naihan... eighth place, Ye Fan...”

The chief examiner continued to read the rankings. Among the amazed crowd, the tense Ye Fan finally heard his own name in the eighth position of the top ten. Instantly, he gritted his teeth, ”If it weren’t for Qin Tian stealing 140 points from me, my points would be on par with Murong Fei’s!”

Ye Fan was utterly infuriated with Qin Tian at that moment. Meanwhile, he repeatedly glanced at Murong Fei and frowned slightly, ”Have I seen this woman somewhere before...? Murong Fei, that name also sounds familiar... Could it be on Earth?”

”No, that’s impossible, commoners on Earth could never possess such cultivation strength. Moreover, being from the renowned Murong Family, I must be overthinking.”

Ye Fan took a deep breath, securing his spot in the top ten, which meant he secured his place in the Dragon Tiger Class.

According to East Han Academy’s arrangements, out of the 100 freshmen recruited this time, the top ten would be students of the Dragon Tiger Class, as key trainees of the academy.

The subsequent ninety would be selected by three instructors, eventually divided into groups of thirty for teaching and cultivation.

The chief examiner continued announcing the ranks, ”Sixty-eighth place, Qiu Zaihema; sixty-ninth place, Ying Hanxun, seventieth place, Qin Tian...”

”Phew, seventieth, just as I expected. Fortunately, I passed...”

Upon hearing his name, Qin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Amid his self-talk, he suddenly sensed a very familiar gaze directed at him. He whipped around—

In that fleeting glance, their eyes met directly.

Countless memories transported from Earth to the Spiritual Domain, and the two finally reunited.

”Pig...”

In his mind, Qin Tian recalled Murong Fei referring to him with that less-than-endearing nickname. Yet, the voice was gentle and pleasant, filling Qin Tian with warmth.

Qin Tian looked at Murong Fei and smiled.

Murong Fei looked at Qin Tian and also smiled.

As the chief examiner continued calling names and the crowd engaged in discussions, the gaze between the two pierced through countless boundaries and distances, meeting each other.

”Hehe...” From afar, Qin Tian stuck out his tongue at Murong Fei, making a funny face.

At that moment, his previous anxiety and depression over Murong Fei possibly forgetting him faded, and Qin Tian instantly felt rejuvenated.

He saw Murong Fei’s eyes, full of suppressed excitement and joy. Just those eyes made Qin Tian absolutely certain: even to the ends of the earth, even if the seas dry and rocks crumble, Murong hadn’t forgotten him.

When Qin Tian made a funny face at Murong Fei, she pursed her lips, suppressing her smile, and mouthed a single, unmistakable word—

”Pig.”

Qin Tian took a deep breath and murmured, ”Emma, why am I such a masochist? Being called a pig by her actually makes me happy... It’s illogical.”

”Murong, what are you smiling at? What are you looking at? It’s about time for us to leave, isn’t it?”

When Murong Fei was smiling at Qin Tian, a white-clothed young man stepped in front of them. It was none other than Nangong Bingfeng, ranked second in the exams and the third young master of the City Lord Mansion!
