"It's so noisy! Isn't it annoying?! Can't I get any sleep?!"
Bang! A loud crash came from inside as something slammed into the door. Ye Qiu guessed she must have thrown her shoe.
"If you're going to leave, then get lost and stop bothering me!"
"…"
Ye Qiu's expression darkened. What kind of illusion had he been under yesterday to think Miss Ning had suddenly become polite?
What a grumpy morning!
"Alright then! I'm leaving now!"
Without hesitation, a bloodshot glint appeared in his eyes.
The magatama transformed into a six-pointed star, divine power surging as it concealed his humanity.
Using the spatial markers he had previously set near Tiandou City, Ye Qiu reappeared not far from the city gates.
This time, however, he didn't need to enter the city. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy occupied an enormous area, and land within Tiandou City—where every inch was precious—could never accommodate such a place.
The academy was located less than twenty kilometers from the city. It encompassed an entire mountain, with a lake at its foot and forests behind it, all serving as training grounds for the students.
Finding a secluded path, Ye Qiu mounted the Jade Eye Cloud-Winged Tiger once more—Hu Zi, whom he hadn't seen in quite some time.
Hu Zi was clearly excited as well, carrying Ye Qiu while sprinting wildly the entire way.
Soon, Ye Qiu arrived at the gates of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
The gate, carved from a single block of marble, was truly magnificent. Even the steps were made of white marble, each engraved with different soul-beast patterns.
"Stop! Who goes there?!"
Just as Ye Qiu was about to enter, he was halted by the guards.
Fortunately, Xue Qinghe had already given him a token.
Ye Qiu handed it over.
"So it's Young Master Ye Qiu! I didn't recognize you earlier—please forgive us!" The guard bowed respectfully.
"It's fine," Ye Qiu waved his hand. "May I enter now?"
"Of course! His Highness the Crown Prince has already given instructions. Please follow me, Young Master."
Ye Qiu followed him inside. Almost immediately, the flow of soul power within his body accelerated noticeably.
Looking around at the lush greenery, he thought that this place would be ideal for cultivating with the Blue Silver Domain.
Having connections truly made things easier. Ye Qiu quickly completed the formalities, received his academy uniform, and a small gilded badge engraved with the words "Tian Dou"—Heavenly Fighting.
He stored the uniform away and pinned the badge to his chest.
Ye Qiu still preferred wearing his blue outfit with a stand-up collar—after all, it looked classy.
After watching Ye Qiu leave, the guard immediately sent someone to inform Xue Qinghe.
Since Ye Qiu didn't need to attend classes, he went straight to his objective—searching for his target.
Along the way, he saw many students walking proudly, each acting as if they were someone special.
It could only be said that Heaven Dou Royal Academy truly lived up to its reputation as a noble academy directly under the royal family, with Emperor Xue Ye personally serving as its dean.
However, the cultivation levels of the students seemed rather average. After all, the academy's second team had once been wiped out instantly by Shrek Academy.
As Ye Qiu walked forward, he attracted frequent glances from female students, who sent him flirtatious looks. Even some male students cast unfriendly gazes his way.
This place is huge. How am I supposed to find Dugu Yan? Should I just join the Royal Fighting Team?
Frowning, Ye Qiu wandered aimlessly when a sudden commotion erupted ahead.
A crowd had gathered, seemingly watching something exciting.
"Say yes! Say yes!"
People jeered and shouted.
"Enough!" A cold female voice rang out.
Someone confessing? And that voice… it sounds familiar.
Ye Qiu stopped and quickly moved forward.
When he saw the figures surrounded by the crowd, a cold glint flashed through his eyes.
At the center stood Ye Lingling—the same girl who had once helped him.
The one confessing to her was none other than Sabu Chu, the person who had clashed with Ye Qiu before and even sent people to chase him and attempt to kidnap Xiao Lan.
Roses littered the ground around them. The heart-shaped arrangement had already been trampled into a broken, ugly mess.
Wearing a black veil and long black dress, Ye Lingling exuded her usual aura of death. Her eyes were calm yet distant, keeping everyone at arm's length.
"Sabu Chu! I'll say it again—I will not agree!"
"Lingling, why? I've been pursuing you for so long. There has to be a reason, right?"
Dark circles hung beneath Sabu Chu's eyes, his eye sockets sunken and steps unsteady. He looked like someone who had indulged far too much.
The so-called affection on his face was nothing but disgusting.
"There's no reason. And don't call me Lingling," Ye Lingling replied coldly.
"Okay… Lingling…" Sabu Chu muttered.
Having finally found an opportunity without Dugu Yan nearby, he intended to seize it—hoping to take Ye Lingling out and go all the way.
Thinking of this, he licked the corner of his mouth.
Disgust filled Ye Lingling's eyes as she looked at the man blocking her path.
"Just leave me alone."
She turned to leave.
But Sabu Chu had no intention of letting her go.
"Stop her!"
Several people immediately blocked Ye Lingling's path. As the son of an earl, Sabu Chu had no shortage of noble followers eager to curry favor.
"Haha… Lingling, I only wanted to invite you to dinner at a hotel. We could talk about our dreams and future. Please, do me the honor!"
A sickly smile spread across his pale face.
"Get out of the way!" Ye Lingling snapped, her voice no longer calm as Sabu Chu approached.
Smack!
She slapped away his reaching hand.
"Sabu Chu! Aren't you afraid Yanzi will make trouble for you?!" Ye Lingling shouted coldly.
"Haha~ Of course I'm afraid. But once we're together, do you think she'll still touch her man?"
"Ah!" Ye Lingling exclaimed.
As he spoke, Sabu Chu lunged forward like a hungry wolf.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, a blue figure appeared between them.
"Ah—!"
A hand cold as jade, adorned with black jade, struck out.
Sabu Chu screamed and was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Ye Qiu finally stepped out of the crowd and punched Sabu Chu square in the face.
"Boss!" His underlings rushed over to help him up, some even using healing abilities.
"Hiss—" Sabu Chu gasped, clutching his face.
Looking at the blood-stained teeth in his hand, rage consumed him.
"Who did this?! What kind of bastard dares hit me—" His speech was slurred.
"Can't pee? Long time no see," Ye Qiu said with a smile, rolling his wrist calmly.
"You shameless bastard! You numbed my entire arm!"
Sabu Chu stared at Ye Qiu in shock.
It's you!
"You worthless bastard! You deserve to die!"
Ignoring his ranting, Ye Qiu turned toward Ye Lingling.
"Miss Lingling, are you alright?"
