Liang Tian's heart was filled with humiliation.
When had he ever suffered such a grievance, and in front of so many people? It felt like his heart was being cut by a knife.
So, he quickly tapped the ground with his head and prepared to stand up.
But at this moment, Wu Tian placed his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Wait a moment, did you forget something?"
Seeing Wu Tian's insistence on lingering, Liang Tian's anger naturally surged.
He glared at Wu Tian and said, "What do you mean? What else do you want?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "In our bet, it wasn't just kneeling and kowtowing, was it?"
"What else were you going to say? I seem to have forgotten."
Hearing Wu Tian's teasing tone, Liang Tian felt as if his scalp was about to explode.
He glared at Wu Tian and said, "You've had enough, it's best to know when to stop!"
"We're all in this martial world. If you show mercy today, I'll show you mercy another day."
"Saying something too outrageous won't do you any good!"
Wu Tian nodded with a smile and said, "You're right. Oh dear, what were you going to say?"
Seeing that Wu Tian didn't take him seriously at all, Liang Tian's pride finally exploded completely.
He roared, "Damn it, are you playing with me!"
"I'm done!"
He roared and prepared to stand up, but at that moment, he was horrified to find that his body was completely unable to move.
This feeling... was as if something invisible had locked his body!
He subconsciously looked at Wu Tian and then exclaimed, "What did you do to me!"
Wu Tian's gaze had turned somewhat cold.
He said, "Liang Tian, you don't really think I have that much time to joke with you, do you?"
"What I want you to do, you'd better do it now, otherwise..."
Wu Tian's eyes suddenly widened slightly.
In an instant, Liang Tian felt as if a current of electricity shot through his body, making his heart race.
A sense of intense dread instantly filled his heart. For a moment, he felt as if Wu Tian had become a demon, about to eliminate him!
His rationality instantly collapsed.
At this moment, all his pride and dignity were thrown to the back of his mind. Without thinking, he shouted:
"I'm trash! I'm trash! I'm trash!"
His voice could only be described as hysterical, as if he wanted to declare it to the whole world.
The onlookers didn't understand why Liang Tian was reacting this way.
After Liang Tian finished shouting, Wu Tian's objective was achieved.
He nodded and said, "Alright, since you've fulfilled the bet, we're even."
"You can leave now."
Wu Tian's words were like a pardon to Liang Tian.
He quickly nodded, not daring to linger for even a second. He stood up and stumbled away.
Because he was so terrified, his body was weak and soft. It was less like running and more like crawling out.
Thus, this farce came to an end.
After Wu Tian chatted with Xiao Qiang and the others for a while, Xiao Lu escorted Wu Tian out.
"That's about it," Wu Tian said with a smile to Xiao Lu as they walked to the outer courtyard. "You can go back now."
But Xiao Lu's expression became a little strange. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then looked up at Wu Tian and said, "Wu Tian, I need to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" Wu Tian asked, confused. "What do you need to apologize to me for?"
Xiao Lu said, "I wasn't very polite to you before. That was my fault. I shouldn't have treated you that way."
"You are now a benefactor to our Xiao family. I am very grateful that you cured my grandfather. I hope you won't hold any grudges about the unpleasantness before."
Seeing someone as straightforward as Xiao Lu now apologizing to him, Wu Tian couldn't help but smile.
To be honest, he hadn't taken the matter to heart at all.
Because he knew Xiao Lu had no ill intentions, and he treated her noisy words as jokes.
So, he showed a bright smile and said, "It's okay, there's nothing to apologize for. I'm not an unreasonable person."
"Besides, I should thank you. If it weren't for your recommendation, how could I have gotten your family's support? So, we're even."
Looking at Wu Tian's smile, Xiao Lu's expression immediately froze, and then her pretty face turned crimson.
She knew she was blushing, and goosebumps were popping all over her body.
The scene of Wu Tian's previous actions flashed through her mind.
In her opinion, Wu Tian was simply too outstanding, so outstanding that "omnipotent" wouldn't be an exaggeration.
People are always attracted to outstanding individuals, so Xiao Lu clearly understood that she had fallen for Wu Tian.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never been interested in men, and the only person she liked was Bai Ruoqi.
But now, her orientation had changed because of Wu Tian's appearance. In her heart, Wu Tian might be on the same level as Bai Ruoqi.
Seeing her face so red, Wu Tian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?"
Xiao Lu was startled and instinctively took two steps back, quickly saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine."
"That's strange," Wu Tian muttered. He didn't dwell on the matter and planned to say goodbye to Xiao Lu and then go find Bai Ruoqi.
But just then, a sky-blue Lamborghini suddenly sped over and braked to a stop in front of Wu Tian in an extreme maneuver.
Due to the violent braking, the tires rubbed fiercely against the ground, sending up white smoke, and two scorched black marks appeared on the asphalt.
This incident stunned both Wu Tian and Xiao Lu.
Soon, the car door opened, and a pair of straight, slender legs in sheer stockings emerged from the driver's seat.
And when the person fully emerged, Xiao Lu's expression became one of utter astonishment.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Sister Lei, why are you here?"
The woman called Sister Lei looked to be in her early twenties, over 1.7 meters tall. She wore a crop top and denim shorts, her body forming a perfect S-curve, beautiful and heroic.
Any man who saw such a stunning beauty would be involuntarily amazed.
She nodded to Xiao Lu, then looked at Wu Tian and said, "You're Wu Tian, right? Come with me."
