Chu Ge’s sudden diary update caused the owners of the Diary Copies to pause, then immediately check it.
After browsing through it, everyone looked surprised and uncertain.
Luo Huangjun’s eyes flashed with thought; when not facing Chu Ge, her mind was extremely sharp, and she immediately connected more dots.
If events truly unfolded as Chu Ge described, and Tantai Jinglian ultimately became entangled with Ye Chen, then the Taihuang Holy Land would likely find it difficult to remain uninvolved.
‘Shijie, what are you thinking?’
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, making the surrounding air turn chilly.
At the same time.
“Interesting, so this Ye Chen is the person that girl Xuanyin was clamoring to break off her engagement with a few years ago. Speaking of which, it seems she managed to break off the engagement successfully because I backed her up?”
Tantai Jinglian still maintained a languid posture, her bright eyes half-closed, a faint smile playing on her lips.
After reading Chu Ge’s diary, she instantly recalled the little girl who had pestered her for several days when she returned to the Tantai Family years ago.
Presumably, that girl has now grown into a graceful and beautiful woman.
“I remember there’s a Grand Competition for Inner Sect Disciples in a month. Since that girl Xuanyin is currently in Yunmiao Pavilion, I’ll send her an invitation.”
“And that Ye Chen, hehe, let me see how much substance this so-called Child of Destiny truly has…”
As she muttered to herself, Tantai Jinglian revealed a highly playful smile.
Chu Ge was still unaware that his diary content had already begun to stir up trouble.
At this moment, he was looking at Ye Chen, who had already walked out of the Punishment Hall. The latter also noticed him, and his already gloomy expression became even more unsightly, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Su Ling’er, next to Chu Ge, had also finished reading the diary content.
She couldn’t help but click her tongue in amazement.
‘Junior Brother Chu’s System is too Heaven-Defying; it even has the ability to foresee the future. I really wish I had one, so I wouldn’t have to Cultivate every day.’
She hadn’t yet noticed the increasingly tense atmosphere between Chu Ge and Ye Chen.
It wasn’t until the surrounding clamorous discussions reached her ears that she reacted.
“This must be Senior Brother Chu, the Holy Lord’s third personal Disciple, right?”
“He truly possesses the demeanor of an immortal and the appearance of a celestial being, just as the rumors say! His reputation is well-deserved!”
“I must also thank Senior Brother Chu! If not for the Heaven and Earth Dao Manifestation he triggered, I wouldn’t have been able to break through my Realm so quickly! To advance to the Inner Sect, Senior Brother Chu is truly a lucky star for our Taihuang Holy Land!”
Numerous Inner Sect Disciples cast grateful and admiring glances at Chu Ge; most were friendly, a few indifferent, and not a single one showed malice.
After all, most of those present had benefited from Chu Ge, so no matter what they thought internally, they naturally had to maintain appearances.
As for others, due to Chu Ge’s status, they naturally dared not show disrespect.
Chu Ge did not put on airs, showing a gentle smile and nodding slightly to everyone.
With his current status and position, this was already sufficient.
To go up and chat with each of them would be beneath him.
The scene was harmonious, clearly showing the friendliness among fellow Disciples, with only Ye Chen’s face growing increasingly grim.
His gaze shifted to Su Ling’er beside Chu Ge, and his heart filled with even greater resentment.
Su Ling’er’s beauty moved him; such a peerless beauty was rare in the world!
Especially that innocent and pure temperament, combined with a devilish figure, made Ye Chen covet her, making him almost grind his back teeth in hatred!
Such a national beauty was currently standing shoulder to shoulder with another man, conversing happily.
And he could only watch from the sidelines, unable to even take a few extra glances.
Because this woman had a noble status; if he drew her attention and she became displeased, it would likely invite disaster!
The cost was something he could not bear at present!
However, Ye Chen was unwilling!
Respected status, admired by all, and a beautiful woman by his side—all of this should have originally belonged to him!
But now, it had all been snatched away!
Snatched by Chu Ge!
Ye Chen had thought that he could control himself when he saw Chu Ge again, but now he realized he couldn’t at all!
Not only was there the hatred for Chu Ge in his heart, but in the depths of his being, there seemed to be an unknown will influencing him.
Making it impossible for him to face Chu Ge with a calm mind!
The emotion of hatred gradually surged, and he slowly walked out of the crowd, heading towards Chu Ge.
“What do you want to do? Stop, don’t provoke this person!”
The voice in his mind suddenly rang out, somewhat urgent!
“What does this Ye Chen want? He’s heading towards Senior Brother Chu?”
“Could it be that he wants to befriend Senior Brother Chu? Does he want to rely on Senior Brother Chu to contend with the Tantai Family member he offended?”
“Naive. What kind of status does Senior Brother Chu have? How could he look favorably upon someone like Ye Chen?”
“Does he think that just because he’s a Wang Body, he can enter Senior Brother Chu’s eyes? He truly has no self-awareness!”
Ye Chen’s actions naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
For a moment, no one stopped him, quietly watching Ye Chen walk towards Chu Ge.
A hint of surprise appeared on Chu Ge’s face, and then he quietly watched Ye Chen, his expression calm, but the cold glint in his eyes gradually solidified.
Su Ling’er wore an expression of watching a good show; she naturally wasn’t worried that Ye Chen could harm Chu Ge.
With her presence, Ye Chen couldn’t stir up any trouble, not to mention she had various trump cards given by her Family and Master. Even if a Great Power came, she could protect Chu Ge for a moment, so there was no need to worry at all.
‘The villain Junior Brother Chu is about to face the Child of Destiny! Will they fight?’
She was a little excited, her cheeks flushing.
In her excitement, she even sent a message to her only Diary Copy friend on the Diary Copy panel in her mind.
“Master! Junior Brother Chu is about to fight the Child of Destiny! Come quickly and watch!”
She clicked send with her mind.
She found this function even better than psychic communication methods used by cultivators; it only required a thought, saving even the consumption.
‘Hehe, this Diary Copy is really good.’
Far away in Taihuang Hall, Luo Huangjun felt the Diary panel in her mind subtly tremble, and she noticed a red dot in the friends list.
Clicking it with her mind, she saw Su Ling’er’s message.
‘He clashed with that Ye Chen?’
A trace of worry inexplicably arose in her heart.
Although she knew that Chu Ge’s cultivation was now above Ye Chen’s, and he possessed the huanglong seal, a supreme treasure.
In this Taihuang, the possibility of Chu Ge being harmed was infinitely close to zero, but she was still a little uneasy.
Better safe than sorry!
After all, Luo Huangjun had heard sayings like “evil cannot triumph over good” and “the devil may be a foot high, but the Dao is ten feet high.”
This world also had books like biographies and storybooks.
Most of the stories in them also depicted the side representing justice achieving ultimate victory, with the villains almost always meeting a bad end.
Now that the villain was her Disciple, how could Luo Huangjun not worry?
Her beautiful face turned cold, like frost flying in the twelfth lunar month, piercingly cold.
Her divine sense spread out, instantly pervading the entire Taihuang Holy Land, focusing on Chu Ge’s whereabouts.
If the two had a normal confrontation, she would not interfere.
But Luo Huangjun had not forgotten that Ye Chen still carried a wisp of residual soul of unknown origin, whose methods were unknown, which made her have to be on guard.
As soon as she detected anything amiss, she would strike decisively!
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of acting herself to directly eliminate the threat in its infancy.
However, there was clearly a cause-and-effect relationship of being destined rivals between Chu Ge and Ye Chen.
If he could defeat Ye Chen, it would be of great benefit to Chu Ge!
Her excessive interference would instead be detrimental to Chu Ge’s growth!
