Release the Heroine, Let Me Handle This

Chapter 55: Fighting for Feng Ya!

Time passed, and in half an hour, Gu Aotian had climbed to over seven hundred steps, while Su Mei rested above six hundred.

Even with just these achievements, the elders and masters were quite pleased.

Their potential was above average, and with some training, they might become personal disciples. Yet Gu Aotian seemed unsatisfied, drenched in sweat but still pushing upwards.

At that moment, a white figure appeared. Before Ye Wenxin could see clearly, a floral scent reached her, and a woman in white stood on the 999th step.

"Feng Ya!"

Someone gasped, recognizing the figure on the Heavenly Ladder.

Ye Wenxin felt her heart tighten, straining to see, but the 999th step was shrouded in mist, obscuring Feng Ya's face.

Gu Aotian, who had seemed exhausted, found new strength and continued climbing, as if inspired by a newfound conviction.

Ye Wenxin let out a bitter laugh. As expected of the chosen one, even his entrance exam held more opportunity than hers. If she guessed correctly, once Gu Aotian reached the 999th step, his relationship with Feng Ya would deepen further.

"I really want to see what Feng Ya looks like," Gu Xiangsi said beside her, curious. Seeing Ye Wenxin's grim face, she quickly added, "Sis, I didn't mean it like that. I'm just curious about Feng Ya's appearance."

Ye Wenxin understood. At the mention of Feng Ya's name, everyone was already captivated, even the masters and elders showing unusual expressions.

As the top of the beauty rankings, Feng Ya undoubtedly had extraordinary qualities. But thinking about how she had waited over half a year, while Gu Aotian had just arrived and was already gaining opportunities, even stealing the first sight of Feng Ya, left Ye Wenxin feeling resentful.

She hated how fate toyed with her, and even loathed Gu Aotian, the golden child of destiny.

"The champion of today's recruitment will become my personal disciple," a female voice suddenly announced as Ye Wenxin debated whether to intervene.

That clear voice, so sweet and enchanting, seemed to carry a mesmerizing effect, momentarily ensnaring those who heard it.

Yet it was simply the voice's beauty, enhanced with qi, that enchanted everyone. Ye Wenxin shivered with goosebumps, never imagining a human voice could be so alluring.

Without even seeing Feng Ya's face, Ye Wenxin already held her in high regard.

This declaration sent the crowd into a frenzy, but the masters and elders looked displeased, puzzled by Feng Ya's sudden appearance and announcement that the champion would be her first personal disciple.

"I'm going for it! I must be first!"

"I'd die to claim that top spot!"

The previously dispirited candidates began pushing their limits, but at this point, Gu Aotian had reached over eight hundred steps, standing tall and confident.

"It seems brother will become Feng Ya's personal disciple," Gu Xiangsi remarked calmly, as if stating a mundane fact, whether out of expectation or a lack of focus on Gu Aotian.
