Li Tianen squirmed under Huang Yueling's icy demeanor. Here he was, a man of high standing and undeniable charm, yet her disinterest stung.
While she wasn't quite on Zhao Qingya's level in terms of power or influence, Huang Yueling held a respectable position as a professor at Skyplume Academy. Ignoring her wouldn't do.
"Professor Huang," he interjected smoothly, "with Lu Yu's unknown background and motives, it's best to steer clear of him."
Huang Yueling offered a helpless shrug. "Our interaction has been minimal—barely two hours, actually."
"Excellent," Li Tianen beamed. "Now, about me! Recently, I've achieved some remarkable feats, and an advancement might be on the horizon. You should focus your attention on those who truly shine, don't you agree?"
His words dripped with self-importance, like a man accustomed to adulation within Skyplume City. Huang Yueling, however, remained unimpressed.
