Chapter 71

"Look, someone is swimming out!"

"That guy is amazing, saving so many people!"

"Great job!"

"Has anyone called the police? Why aren't they here yet?"

"It's only been a few minutes. Do you expect the police to fly over?"

"An old man also made it out and saved someone."

"That old man is incredible too!"

"I wonder how many people are still inside the bus..."

...

On the bridge, countless bystanders were watching the scene.

After all, such a major incident couldn't go unnoticed.

At this moment, Chen Ye was too busy to care about what others thought.

Jiang Tao, Wen Xingyi, and the other girls were all staring at him intently.

They had been submerged for only a few dozen seconds.

In such a short time, they might have swallowed some water but hadn't lost consciousness.

So, they were fully aware of who had saved them.

"Cough, cough!"

Chen Ye pretended to cough, awkwardly asking, "Why are you all staring at me like that?"

Jiang Tao was the first to speak, looking at Chen Ye with a hint of awe. "Old Chen, I think I saw you punch the door open with one blow..."

Wen Xingyi chimed in, "Such strength would at least be a D-level evaluation. Yet, I didn't see you at the recruitment assembly this morning..."

One of the girls added, "And when you saved us, it didn't seem like you used your hands!"

Another girl continued, "I saw you holding Xingyi so tightly when you saved her, but why didn't you touch us?"

Wen Xingyi's cheeks flushed red...

The last girl added, "Yeah, even if we're not as pretty as Xingyi, you didn't have to treat us so differently."

"Speaking of being treated differently..." Jiang Tao interjected with a tone of mock resentment. "I feel like I was the one being mistreated the most. Old Chen, we've been brothers for years, and yet you grabbed me by the scruff of my neck to save me?"

Chen Ye felt awkward, their words making him uncomfortable.

Annoyed, he said, "Are you focusing on the wrong thing? I was saving you, remember? I couldn't think about everything at that moment. Besides, shouldn't you be celebrating surviving such an ordeal?"

"Speaking of which, I'm your lifesaver. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

One of the girls looked at Chen Ye with bright eyes, her gaze filled with a hint of desire.

"I know... Chen gege, I can't repay your lifesaving grace. I'm willing to marry you!"

Chen Ye: "..."

Another girl scoffed, "Oh, please. We all know he's interested in Xingyi. You should just step aside."

Chen Ye: "..."

Wen Xingyi: "..."

Are girls these days really so bold and forward?

These young people had an amazing ability to recover. They had just been on the brink of death, and without Chen Ye, the outcome could have been tragic. Yet now, they seemed to have completely forgotten the perilous situation they were in moments ago!

Jiang Tao, watching from the side, felt both envious and curious about Chen Ye's abilities.

"Old Chen, be honest with me. Have you entered the Tower of Reincarnation?"

"Yes!" Chen Ye nodded.

Given his strength, it was almost impossible to achieve such feats in a safe zone.

"Which floor?"

"The fourth floor!" Chen Ye lied.

"Hiss!"

Jiang Tao gasped, astonished. "Goodness, you're even more talented than Tang Yuting from First High. I guess only the legendary Shura could outshine you in the Reincarnation Space!"

Upon hearing the name "Shura," Wen Xingyi's body trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes locking onto Chen Ye.

Feeling her intense gaze, Chen Ye cursed Jiang Tao internally.

Luckily, with his disguise skill, he managed to put on a humble front, waving his hand. "I can't compare to the legendary Shura."

Seeing Chen Ye's genuine demeanor, Wen Xingyi's expression turned thoughtful, clearly pondering something...

At that moment, police sirens wailed from the road by the riverbank.

Chen Ye said, "The police are here. Let's keep things quiet... Especially you three, help me keep this under wraps."

He was referring to the three girls he had saved using telekinesis.

In truth, it wouldn't be a big deal if it got out. Just because he had telekinesis didn't mean people would instantly associate him with Shura. There was no logic in that.

Even if it leaked, the worst-case scenario would be being labeled as a genius, with top-tier universities fighting over him.

After all, there were many powerful individuals in the Reincarnation Space!

If every genius were assumed to be Shura, things would be chaotic.

"No problem!!"

"I'll just say I passed out and don't know how I got out."

"Yeah, that's a good story!"

The three girls promised unanimously.
