"Bang!"
With this soul-stirring moment, the gloom on the Friendship cruise ship was finally dispelled. The last thug was reduced to ashes by Wu Tian's thunderous strike, and the image of his brains splattering everywhere became a symphony of terror and justice.
However, this victory left Wu Tian's classmates and the crew members on the ship pale as death, their fear palpable.
What kind of powerful methods were those?
Armed thugs were like candles in the wind, instantly annihilated in his hands; a single kick shattered their skulls, demonstrating terrifying power.
They suddenly realized that such a powerful being could reduce all things to ants in the blink of an eye.
What stood out most was Wang Libin's near-collapse; his past feud with Wu Tian had now transformed into endless regret and fear.
He knew all too well that the gap between himself and Wu Tian was like an insurmountable chasm.
The failure to ambush the burly man not only humiliated him, but also made him witness the burly man's helplessness in front of Wu Tian, as insignificant as dust.
Suppressing the trembling in his heart, he mustered his courage and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Brother Wu... Brother Wu Tian, I... I was blind to your greatness before, please forgive me. From now on, I will definitely stay away from you and never be your enemy again, let alone compete with you for Wen Yuan."
Wu Tian smiled calmly, his eyes revealing gentleness: "It's normal for classmates to joke and tease each other, why bother? As for Wen Yuan, there's even less need for that, I'm already married."
Upon hearing this, Wang Libin hurriedly waved his hand and fled in panic, as if a ferocious beast was chasing him, fearing that he might offend this ruthless killer if he made the slightest mistake.
Watching Wang Libin's hurried departure, Wu Tian called out leisurely, "Hey, don't rush off, I still remember your favor!" His words were both playful and courteous.
As Wang Libin fled, he answered with despair in his voice: "I am as insignificant as an ant, how could I dare to hope to be of any help to you..."
He quickly hid in the crowd, filled with endless fear.
The other students were the same. Although they expressed their gratitude to Wu Tian for saving their lives, their trembling voices and wandering eyes revealed their deep awe of Wu Tian's power. This fear even surpassed the life-or-death crisis they had just faced.
At this moment, Wen Yuan used the first aid kit on the ship to remove the bullet from Chen Shufen's body. After bandaging the wound, she went straight to Wu Tian.
Like everyone else, her face no longer held the smiles she shared with her classmates; instead, it displayed only fear and admiration for the strong.
She gazed at Wu Tian for a long time, then sighed softly, "I never imagined that you not only have superb medical skills, but also unparalleled cultivation. I can hardly believe you are my classmate."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian smiled like the warm sun in spring. "I never expected your background to be so powerful. If I had known earlier, I should have cultivated a good relationship with you back then, and I would have avoided many detours in my life."
A relieved smile appeared on Wen Yuan's lips, as gentle as the first light of dawn: "It's not too late now!"
As she spoke, a look of longing flashed in her eyes.
Wu Tian sighed softly, shaking his head, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "Now, I'm afraid it's too late!"
The Qi family, one of the four major families in Linhai City, is the force behind Wen Yuan. They are now joining forces with the Dragon-Capturing Hall to eliminate him as soon as possible.
The danger encountered on the ship today might be inextricably linked to the Qi family.
Therefore, it seems that he and Wen Yuan are destined not to return to a normal classmate relationship, but instead their fates will become intertwined in a complicated way.
Wen Yuan didn't understand what Wu Tian was thinking, but immediately asked, "Why is it too late? Is it because you're married? I don't care, and besides, men and women don't necessarily have to have that kind of relationship."
Wu Tian smiled and said meaningfully, "Perhaps there is no problem between us, but your grandfather and his Qi family don't think so."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan smiled brightly, full of confidence: "If that's the case, you have even less to worry about. My grandfather has always admired talented people. If he knew how extraordinary you are, he would definitely be overjoyed."
After speaking, her eyes flickered, and she looked at Wu Tian with a hint of caution and expectation. After a slight pause, she continued softly, "To be honest, there is something else I would like to ask you for help with."
Wu Tian scrutinized Wen Yuan, his eyes filled with doubt: "Your family is prominent, why would you need my help?"
Wen Yuan took a deep breath, her expression solemn, her voice filled with sorrow: "My grandfather has contracted a strange illness, and I... I really want you to take a look at him, perhaps only you can help."
After witnessing Wu Tian's extraordinary medical skills, she planted a seed in her heart to seek his help, hoping to bring a glimmer of hope to her grandfather through his assistance.
Previously, she had just met Wu Tian and felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to ask him for help at the beginning.
Having just experienced life and death and witnessed Wu Tian's incredible skills, she no longer hesitated and decided to stop hiding her purpose.
A thoughtful frown crossed Wu Tian's brows. After a long while, a smile appeared on his lips as he said leisurely, "In that case, I will go to the Qi family myself."
His purpose was not to genuinely treat Qi Yunfeng's illness, but rather to uncover the secrets behind the alliance between the Dragon Capture Hall and the three major families.
As a key participant in this alliance, the Qi family must possess important information.
As the old saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Wu Tian decided to go to the Qi family to seek the answer.
"Really? That's great!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan wrapped her arms around Wu Tian's arm like vines, her joy as undisguised as a flower blooming in spring.
This unexpected agreement filled her with endless gratitude and anticipation.
She firmly believed that with the help of an extraordinary expert like Wu Tian, her grandfather's illness would surely take a turn for the better.
The close relationship between the two left the students present with very complicated expressions.
Once, they shared the same classroom and wore the same school uniforms, which masked the differences between them.
But as time quietly passed, this gap not only did not diminish, but instead cast a deeper shadow in everyone's hearts.
Wen Yuan's dazzling brilliance could only be matched by someone as exceptionally handsome as Wu Tian. In their eyes, others were like dust in the world, insignificant.
Only Ren Gang, who had a deep friendship with Wu Tian since childhood, laughed off the scene and joked, "Aren't you two afraid of causing 'misunderstandings' because you're so close? After all, one of you is already taken."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yuan blushed, but did not let go. Instead, she responded with pride: "You misunderstood. We are just classmates. By the way, Wu Tian and I have to go after the ship docks, so we can't stay any longer."
At this moment, Wen Yuan's only thought was to expedite Wu Tian's treatment of her grandfather; that urgency and hope shone brightly in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ren Gang's lips curled into a playful smile. He cast a meaningful glance at Wu Tian and jokingly said, "Looks like things are progressing rapidly. Are you about to 'fly together'?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian frowned slightly and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense. We are going to visit Mr. Qi."
