You Are Not Worthy

"Young master Fang is one in a million genius, the Divine Soul Awakening Ceremony is just around the corner, am sure Young master Fang will awaken a very powerful Divine Soul." The middle-aged female teacher flattered.

"That's for sure, judging from his terrifying talent, it won't take long for him to surpass us." Another teacher added.

Teacher Chen was delighted; Fang Yan was his student, if someday he rose to top, amongst other teachers he will surely be remembered first. As he thought about this his gaze became much gentler as though he was looking at his biological son.

"Teachers, please don't say that, I still have a long road ahead of me. Besides there is still Yu Yan whose talent far exceeds mine. I dare not claim to be the pride of the academy." Fang Yan said casting a side glance at Yu Yan; whose head was hung low, oblivious to ruckus happening outside the class.

"Don't be too modest Fang Yan, you both are the pride of the academy and am sure you are a match made in heaven." A Teacher said smiling.

Fang Yan nodded in satisfaction, taking the teacher face to memory, "Teachers, I came to challenge Ye Mo today, I want to wash away every spot of defeat as I embark on my invincible path of cultivation. My heart does not settle with that defeat, so I want to defeat him to win back my invincible heart."

The teachers were shocked silent for a little while, only crazy geniuses such as him would talk about their future path while only in the Kung Fu Body Realm. So it was really true that geniuses live in a completely different world, their aim, sight and path were never limited by what they saw, touch or feel.

"That is only natural, every genius should strive to maintain a strong and unbending heart before the Awakening Ceremony.

"A genius reputation is not to be sullied." Teacher Fu said.

"By the way, where is that trash?" A teacher asked not spotting Ye Mo among the students.

"He said he would be going into seclusion after that fight and no one has caught sight of him since then."

"Humph! He thinks he is also a genius? Trying to breakthrough the legendary stage, surely building castles in the air."

"Students, please spread the news of my challenge across the town, let everyone know that I am challenging Ye Mo to a duel, he should come out of his hiding place to accept my challenge and if he refused to accept my challenge, I only need him to kowtow thrice before me and I would be magnanimous enough to forgive him." Fang Yan shouted loudly.

"Yes , that right. That trash should be dealt with."

"Young master Fang is too kind, just kowtow thrice, if it were me, he would have to kowtow for three days and three nights."

"It is Young master meekness that distinguishes him from others."

The teachers nodded their heads in approval. Every genius had their pride to protect, defeated by that trash would make him unsettled and many even hinder his future achievement.

Fang Yan smiled seeing the reaction of both students and teachers. He had told them to disseminate the news across the town, no matter where Ye Mo hid, it would surely get to him. The teachers left after saying their congratulations, the crowd dispersed after some effort made by the teachers.

Fang Yan straightened his robe and walked with elegant steps towards Yu Yan seated in the first row of the class.

She never raised her head despite the noises and clamoring, her hair cascading freely down her shoulder, she looked like a lonely fairy untainted by the chaos of this world.

"Yu Yan, how are you doing?" Fang Yan asked with a caring voice.

The students in the class tacitly left giving them some privacy.

"Yu Yan.." Fang Yan called quietly.

"Young master Fang, I don't think should concern yourself about my welfare." Yu Yan said without raising her head, her sweet and melodious voice carrying a trace of its usual coldness.

"Yan'er, please don't be like that, I really love you with all my heart. Don't be in a rush to reject me, think about it." Fang Yan said pleadingly.

"Young master Fang, please we aren't that close, so you should stop calling me Yan'er, don't create a misunderstanding.

"There is nothing to think about, I'm not ready for love now and most important of all I don't love you. Cultivation should be our main priority right now." said Yu Yan in a cold voice.

"What must I do to win your heart?" Fang Yan asked refusing to back off.

Yu Yan raised her head lightly, Fang Yan heart skipped a beat. He had first regarded it as a mission to make her fall in love with him but he fell for her at first sight. Ever since then, he had been relentlessly pursuing her. Her blue eyes which was crystal clear glittered like a star. Her beautiful face was the finest piece of art he had ever seen.

"Young master Fang, looks like only the harsh truth will dispel your wild desires. You are not worthy of me, you are not even fit to carry my shoes." Yu Yan pour out harshly walking out of the class.

Fang Yan heart received a heavy blow, he knew that was the truth but he never give up, his face twisted like a poisonous snake. "What about him? Is he worthy of you? Do you love him?" He asked thirteen to the dozen, rage filling his handsome face.

Her step paused for a brief moment with her back facing him, she answered, "He is not worthy. Go and ask your clan leader about my background and judge for yourself if you are truly worthy of me." and bang closed the door of the class.

Fang Yan punched the wall in rage, he had an inkling that her background was very powerful that even the clan leader would refuse to divulge much information, all he got was 'her background is so powerful that even the biggest forces in the Northern gate dare not go against them'.

'Yu Yan, you are mine. Not even your mysterious background will be able to save you from my claws and that trash will surely die.'

Zhang Wei walked in and asked in a low voice, "How did it go?"

"Same as before." Fang Yan said clenching his fist.

"I need you to find that trash, comb every corner of the town, I need him alive. I want to make him regret his birth into this world and if he is already dead, I need to see his dead body with my two eyes." Fang Yan instructed with a savage expression on his face.

"I will get it done." Zhang Wei responded disappearing into the distance.

"You're back, Holy Maiden." An old voice drifted into Yu Yan ears from different directions.

Yu Yan hurried footsteps paused as she looked at the elderly man munching some meat under the manor tree.

"Ah... Elder Ren, you scared me, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here? I should be the one asking where you are off to?"

"What do you mean Elder Ren, I am just coming back, why would I go out again?" Yu Yan said trying to hide her nervous expression.

"Hmm... That's good, you should leave that mortal boy, that is his fate."

Yu Yan was shocked, how did he know what happened at the academy? Is this the powerhouse from the family, so unfathomable! She thought as she sized him up carefully; he didn't seem any special, unkempt hair, unshaved beards and a walking stick by his side. He kept munching the meat without care in the world.

She revealed a troubled expression, "I just want to warn him about the coming danger."

"Sigh... I should have not listened to you and kill him that day." Elder Ren said biting the meat in his hand forcefully.

"No..no..no... Please don't do that. I will leave him to his own fate." Yu Yan hurriedly said.

"Holy Maiden, you are not privy of your identity yet, but I can assure you that no one in the Outer World is worthy of carrying your shoes." Elder Ren stated with a tender and proud smile on his face.

Yu Yan nodded absentmindedly. Seeing her in such state, he shook his head, " You are not strong enough yet so I can't tell you the details but you should cultivate harder and become much stronger than me, to make me do your bidding but am sure that day isn't any near."

"It's near." Yu Yan said stubbornly, she could only leave him to his own fate. He had done to much for her but she had to forget him; that was the only way to protect him. She was destined to go to the world above, she couldn't have any restraint. She wanted to meet her parents but she was too weak.

A determined expression surfaced on her face. Her first goal was to meet her biological parents and according to elder Ren, they were fine and had missed her dearly but she couldn't meet them now. She needed to become strong enough to defend herself, how strong was something she didn't know.
