Supreme Martial God of the City-Chapter 1047 - 1002: Keeping Up with the Joneses

"What’s up?" Ye Tian asked flatly.

Han Shiyun smiled, raised the phone in her hand, and said, "Professor Ye, several teachers and professors at our school have spontaneously organized a welcome event to welcome you to the Modu University family. You must honor us with your presence."

Wei Ying looked hopeful. She thought that with a beauty extending the invitation, Ye Tian would definitely accept. However, without a moment’s thought, Ye Tian simply refused, "No need. I like peace and quiet."

Han Shiyun was taken aback, her face turning somewhat awkward.

"Professor Ye, it’s just a meal. It won’t take much of your time, and we’ve already booked a private room. If you don’t come, it would be quite awkward for us, as you are the star of the event."

Ye Tian glanced at Han Shiyun, thought of something, and since he was already here, he decided to play along. After all, he was busy the whole day and hadn’t had dinner yet. Meeting everyone wouldn’t be a bad thing.

"In that case, I have no choice but to attend."

Ye Tian said.

Receiving Ye Tian’s reply, Han Shiyun quickly operated her phone, clearly replying to the other teachers.

Seconds later, Han Shiyun said to Ye Tian, "Professor Ye, do you want to change clothes? Then we can head down together; they’re right at the school gate."

"No need, let’s go."

"Alright."

Han Shiyun and Ye Tian headed directly to the school gate. Along the way, they attracted quite a bit of attention, indicating Han Shiyun’s popularity at Modu University.

Before long, the two arrived at the school gate.

There were about eight people at the gate, four men and four women. The men were roughly between thirty and forty years old, and the four women were older than Han Shiyun but looked youthful due to good maintenance.

"Shiyun, over here!"

A few of the female teachers waved enthusiastically at Han Shiyun and Ye Tian, their eyes curiously inspecting Ye Tian.

Han Shiyun quickly led Ye Tian over and introduced him to the eight, "This is Ye Tian, the professor I was just telling you about in the group. The principal has praised him a lot."

One slightly chubby female teacher looked as if she had seen a ghost and exclaimed, "Shiyun, is he really the professor the principal mentioned? How is that possible? He looks around the same age as the students."

Han Shiyun laughed and explained, "Sister Qiu, do I look like I’d lie to you? He lives right next to me, and the room opposite mine was personally overseen by the principal for cleaning, meant for the new professor."

This statement convinced everyone of Ye Tian’s identity.

Another bespectacled, genteel woman extended her hand to Ye Tian and said, "Professor Ye, I’m Zheng Rui, a teacher in the French department. I didn’t expect you to be so young and accomplished. By the way, Mr. Ye, which university did you graduate from?"

Hearing this question, Ye Tian recalled the information Xiao Xing had given him and replied, "Stanford."

This immediately made Ye Tian the center of the women’s conversation.

Meanwhile, the four men who hadn’t spoken so far wore sullen expressions.

Their eyes were fixated on Ye Tian, filled with envy, jealousy, and even a hint of resentment.

The reason they joined this so-called dinner was not out of interest in Ye Tian, but because Han Shiyun would be there!

Han Shiyun was the dream lover of countless students and teachers at Modu University and rarely attended gatherings. For her to be so proactive for a new professor made them envious!

Most importantly, the principal had given the teacher apartment opposite Wei Ying to Ye Tian!

So close to Han Shiyun, who knows what might happen!

If Ye Tian pursued Han Shiyun, he would surely be ahead of them!

All four of them had remained single, and one even divorced his wife two months ago, hoping for a chance!

They had asked Han Shiyun out for dinner countless times, only to be turned down each time!

But why was this kid invited just upon arrival?

Why?

Just because he’s young?

What’s the use of being young!

In the academic world, what matters are qualifications and skills!

Compared to Ye Tian, they were more than a notch above!

Ye Tian naturally sensed the hostility from the four male teachers. If looks could kill, they would already be dead.

He shook his head helplessly and said to everyone, "Let’s go eat. I have things to do tonight."

The threat posed by these few in front of him was something he didn’t take seriously at all.

How can a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?

One of the male teachers wearing a white shirt thought of something, took out his Mercedes-Benz car key, and said, "Professor Ye, may I ask where your car is parked?"

Even among teachers, economic competition was normal. As soon as the question was asked, everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Tian.

If Ye Tian was both talented and wealthy, he would truly be perfect.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tian shrugged and said flatly, "I don’t have a car."

...

"I don’t have a car."

This was indeed an honest answer for Ye Tian. Though he had control over the Divine Martial Pavilion and had an unquantifiable amount of money in his bank account, he no longer had the desire to buy a car.

Cultivators pursue the Sword Flying Immortal, not traveling by car.

In the Capital City, he always had Xiao Xing. He was accustomed to others driving for him, preferring not to operate these cold machines himself unless absolutely necessary.

What Ye Tian saw as a casual remark was interpreted differently by the others.

Except for Han Shiyun, the other women seemed to suddenly lose interest in Ye Tian.

To them, it seemed Ye Tian couldn’t even afford a car, nor was he wearing any branded clothes, probably just someone who buried himself in books.

So what if he’s a genius?

So what if he’s a professor?

Even though all roads lead to Rome, some are born there, while Ye Tian seemed to have lost at the very start, having only his grades to speak for him.

The other four women more or less lost interest in Ye Tian, except for Han Shiyun.

She knew this man was absolutely not as simple as he appeared. She didn’t know why, but perhaps it was a woman’s intuition.

The male teacher in the white shirt smiled slightly, as if regaining some self-esteem, and said to Ye Tian, "Professor Ye, keep working hard and you’ll have everything. Your salary won’t be high at first, but in a few years, buying a car shouldn’t be a big issue. Hang in there. By the way, I’m Wu Fan, an associate professor in the civil engineering department."

Wu Fan was about to pat Ye Tian on the shoulder but Ye Tian dodged it directly.

"Let’s go."

...

It wasn’t long before the four male teachers each drove their own car to the school gate.

A Mercedes-Benz, a BMW, and the other two were Japanese cars with decent brands.

There were ten people in total at this gathering, and four cars were more than enough.

The other four teachers got into three of the cars based on their relationships, leaving Wu Fan’s car empty.
