Chapter 535: Chapter 495: Learn Your Lesson

That evening, Wu You’s family, including Li Qian, had a lively meal together at the manor in Celestial Feather City.

The spread was lavish, with plenty of wine and meat. Li Qian ate his fill, and he knew that while the meal was supposedly a celebration for Wu You, it was also a farewell dinner for them.

Now that Wu You had completed her evolution and was no longer in mortal danger, Li Qian naturally wouldn’t be staying for long.

If Li Qian was leaving, Wu You, as his contracted partner, couldn’t possibly stay behind.

And that was indeed the case.

The next morning, after packing their things, Li Qian and Wu You shared a tearful farewell with her family at the manor’s entrance.

Although Wu You’s family was reluctant to see her go, they knew the most important thing now was for her to leave with Li Qian and continue to grow. Thus, they didn’t say anything to try and make her stay.

And so, with Wu You’s family seeing them off, the two of them left the manor and headed for the Flying Ship Base in Celestial Feather City.

"If you don’t want to leave, we can actually stay here a little longer," Li Qian said, noticing Wu You’s reluctant expression.

If Wu You stayed behind, it would certainly have a slight impact on Li Qian’s strength, but not a significant one.

Li Qian had no plans to go train in a Dimension Plane anytime soon.

He was planning to consolidate his gains and fully digest what he had learned and understood.

Wu You shook her head. "No need. What’s a fine young man to do, cooped up at home?"

She spoke with great bravado, like a heroine from a martial arts tale.

Li Qian chuckled. "Then what about your brother?"

"Someone’s got to carry on the You Family line," Wu You said, her words nearly making Li Qian stumble.

And so, the two set off on their journey once again. Their trip was smooth, and they arrived at the Flying Ship Base in Celestial Feather City.

They took a Flying Ship and, just as smoothly, returned to Snow City.

They didn’t stay long in Snow City. After a quick transfer, they entered the Teleportation Tower, preparing to go directly to Shazhou City.

They had been away for so long that the Lantern Festival had already passed. Today was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and Shazhou Beast Taming University had already started its semester.

Although Li Qian was an exception who attended class entirely based on his own mood, he was still a student of the university. Staying away from campus for so long felt a little awkward.

So they prepared to return to Shazhou City, back to Shazhou Beast Taming University.

It didn’t take long to travel via the Teleportation Array to Shazhou City. After returning to the university, before he could even warm his seat, his advisor Teacher Wu, Teacher Jin, Dean Fei, and Dean Pan Bing all rushed over upon hearing the news.

After a few moments of warm pleasantries, they all left, not staying long in Li Qian’s dorm in Xianya Garden.

Li Qian didn’t recall Wu You into his Beast Taming Space. She was very perceptive and took it upon herself to serve tea and water.

After everyone had left, Lu Tianjiao vaulted over from the balcony. "Li Qian, that’s not cool of you."

Li Qian looked up, perplexed. "There’s a perfectly good front door right there. Why do you insist on climbing the balcony instead of using it?"

Instead of asking why Lu Tianjiao thought he wasn’t being cool, Li Qian started teasing him.

Lu Tianjiao sat down with a grin, not treating himself like a guest at all. "Hehe, I’m just used to it, you know? Using the front door is such a hassle. You have to knock and everything. See? So inconvenient."

Li Qian turned his head away, not bothering to argue with him.

Lu Tianjiao continued, "By the way, you skipped a grade and didn’t even tell me?"

"Now I’m a whole level lower than you for no reason. I’ll have to call you ’senior’ now. Seriously, if you were going to skip a grade, you could have at least given me a heads-up."

His meaning was obvious: he wanted to have skipped a grade along with Li Qian.

Hearing this, a faint smile played on Li Qian’s lips. "In your Combat Academy, skipping a grade isn’t so easy, is it? Especially skipping two."

"Er..." Lu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face.

He was confident he could skip a grade too, but just as Li Qian said, skipping grades in the Combat Academy was no easy feat.

Even if he could pass the advancement combat assessment, at most he’d only skip to the second semester of his sophomore year. He’d still be a "generation" behind Li Qian.

As for skipping two grades and fighting the top students among the juniors right now... even though Lu Tianjiao was very confident in his own Talent, he didn’t think his chances of winning were high.

Rather than get beaten up for no reason, it was wiser to save himself some face.

The two started chatting, rambling on about what they did over the New Year holiday. After a while, Lu Tianjiao’s gaze fell upon Wu You.

"Qianzi, so this must be that little vixen from the Wing Race you contracted, huh? She’s quite a looker. You lucky dog, you have some serious luck with women..." Lu Tianjiao said with a grin, looking at Wu You.

Hearing this, Li Qian instantly thought, ’Oh no. This guy really has no filter. Words just tumble out of his mouth without a single thought.’

He glanced at Wu You beside him and, just as he expected, her expression was terrifyingly dark.

"Uh, I’m exhausted from all the travel. A bit tired, going to get some rest!" Finding an excuse, Li Qian quickly made his escape.

And so, only Lu Tianjiao and Wu You were left in the living room.

What happened next between them was none of Li Qian’s business. ’Anyway, it’s not like anyone’s going to die,’ he figured. ’Let them at it.’

Li Qian ducked into his room. In the living room, Wu You suddenly spun around to face Lu Tianjiao.

A faint, shimmering blue light suddenly flickered in her eyes. Lu Tianjiao saw this and found it quite peculiar.

He was just about to ask about it when he realized something was wrong—his entire body was floating.

Floating in mid-air.

"AAAAAH..." he cried out in alarm.

But before his cry could even fade, his whole body floated out of the room and ended up hovering outside the balcony.

Watching Wu You walk slowly toward him, how could Lu Tianjiao not understand what was happening? It was all his big mouth’s fault.

"Uh, Big Sis, Big Sis, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" A wise man knows when to yield. He hurriedly began to beg for mercy.

If he fell from here, given his physical condition, his life wouldn’t be in danger, but he would definitely be sore and aching all over.

Most importantly, it would be incredibly embarrassing!

"So you know you were wrong? Then go down there and think about what you’ve done." Wu You had no intention of letting him off. With a light wave of her hand, she turned and went back into the living room.

And just as she turned her back, Lu Tianjiao’s figure plummeted.

THUD!

The huge noise carried clearly, and Li Qian could hear it perfectly from his room.

He poked his head out the window to look and saw Lu Tianjiao sprawled on the lawn like a dead dog, having landed face-first in the dirt. He couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"Hah, maybe that’ll teach you a lesson!"
