“Ding! The Master of Protagonist of Destiny, Lin Chen, has been killed, the plot has significantly changed, and Luck has decreased by 2000 points!”
“Congratulations, Master, Villain Points +2000!”
Jiang Ye’s face immediately lit up with joy.
Just coming here gave him 2000 Luck; it seemed like another fat leek.
After receiving the memories, Su Qingmeng turned to Jiang Ye and said,
“Ye’er, there are no Restrictions within Li Hongtai’s Divine Soul. The Jiang Clan was not the one who attacked them back then; it seems they were simply used.”
“Then who was the person who made the move back then?”
“The other party concealed their identity, and I couldn't recognize their origin. That old dog Li Hongtai was too weak; he didn't force the other party to use any means. But looking at his memories, from the aura, it might be related to the Hidden Killers Pavilion.”
“An assassin organization? It seems I’ll have to put in some effort.”
The Hidden Killers Pavilion was a first-class assassin organization in the Heavens. Although there was still a significant gap between them and an Immortal force, their actions were secretive, and they lurked in various Dao Domains, maneuvering.
In the eyes of the Jiang Clan, they were no different from ants.
However, investigating them would be quite troublesome.
Jiang Ye nodded slightly, making a mental note of this matter. He could send someone to contact them later.
If they didn't cooperate, at worst, he would just spend more effort to eradicate them.
“What about his disciple, Lin Chen?”
“He is currently out training and hasn't returned to the Academy yet. But he should be back in a few days. He also plans to contend for the position of Dao Son, truly wishful thinking… What's wrong, Ye’er? Is there anything about this Lin Chen that you should pay attention to?”
“No, not really. I just plan to have a good time with him.”
“Oh, I see. So many years have passed, and Elder Sister almost forgot your little rascal’s mischievous tastes…”
...The next day, on the Dao Discussion Platform hosted by the Academy.
At this moment, the Dao Discussion Platform was bustling with people and boisterous with voices.
At the foot of Sacred Forest Land, many outsiders were still climbing the mountain.
All just to catch a glimpse of Cloud Top Academy’s renowned Ascension Road.
“I heard that since the Ascension Road first appeared countless eons ago, only one person has reached the hundredth floor!”
“Empress Hongye! That name has resounded throughout the Heavens for far too long. I wonder if her son, Jiang Ye, will be able to reach the summit this time?”
“It's hard to say. Divine Son Jiang is rumored to be a profligate and overbearing person, never accepting challenges from any Prodigy, only relying on his power to bully others!”
“Shh~ Be careful with your words!”
The crowd discussed animatedly.
A young man with an ordinary face sat among the crowd, silently listening to the discussions around him.
Chu Nan’s brows were tightly furrowed, his expression fluctuating between dark and light.
He never expected that Jiang Ye would also come to Cloud Top Academy.
“Truly, enemies meet on a narrow road!”
“Jiang Ye, is it? A scoundrel who only knows how to bully others by relying on his power. If you had the guts to fight fairly against Prodigies of your generation, I might respect you a bit!”
“You destroyed my Dao Domain! Annihilated my sect! And even murdered my Junior Sister!”
“Unwarranted disaster! A sea of blood and deep hatred!”
“Although I, Chu Nan, cannot kill you for now! But with this Dao Discussion Assembly, I will surely make you lose face completely!”
“I will show you that even without a superior family background to support me, I, Chu Nan, can still suppress you, the so-called Divine Son of the Jiang Clan!”
Chu Nan clenched his hands tightly, thinking to himself.
Then, he cast his gaze towards the several pavilions at the top of the Dao Discussion Platform.
As he scanned, his eyes locked onto a beautiful woman in green robes on one of the pavilion viewing platforms.
“Is that Guan Yunyao? She is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say!”
A hint of infatuation flashed in his eyes as he murmured softly.
The next moment.
Chu Nan’s brows furrowed tightly, his face filled with endless hatred, gnashing his teeth.
Because in Guan Yunyao’s pavilion, a man in a black robe with dragon patterns actually appeared!
His face was as handsome as jade, causing a stir among the surrounding crowd.
“Jiang Ye! You truly deserve to die!”
Chu Nan’s face twisted in a ferocious expression.
How could he not know what Jiang Ye’s appearance in Guan Yunyao’s pavilion meant?
Jiang Ye’s philandering nature had long been widely known.
What displeased Chu Nan was that,
After finally encountering a woman who made him feel good at first sight, she was now being approached by his enemy.
But Chu Nan was helpless; the other party’s background was simply too powerful.
Endure!
Only by becoming a Dao Son of Cloud Top Academy would he be qualified to contend with Jiang Ye on the same stage!
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people started discussing animatedly.
“What does Divine Son Jiang mean by not staying in his own pavilion and running off to Junior Sister Yunyao’s place?”
“Heroes love beauties, what do you think he means?”
“Hiss… Although Junior Sister Yunyao is devoted to the Dao and doesn’t care about the Mortal World, Divine Son Jiang’s status is too high. If he uses force, I’m afraid no one would dare to stop him, right?”
Many male Cultivators wore expressions of resentment, wishing they could take his place.
At this moment, in Guan Yunyao’s pavilion.
No one dared to stop him.
Jiang Ye calmly walked to the third-floor viewing platform and casually found a seat next to her.
Qing Xuan and Hong Yan served him, carrying immortal fruits and teapots, standing on either side of him.
Guan Yunyao was slightly lost in thought, Jiang Ye’s demonically handsome face reflected in her eyes.
Her expression held a hint of strangeness.
The other party had swaggered into her pavilion so openly, without any reservations, catching her off guard.
“Your Highness Divine Son, may I ask why you have come to my pavilion?”
Jiang Ye smiled slightly, a deep glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at the beautiful woman before him, who was devoted to the Dao, and calmly said, “Dao discussion.”
The Dao Discussion Assembly.
Naturally, it would include a Dao discussion segment among Prodigies of the same generation.
The Ascension Road had not yet opened.
The first few days of the Dao Discussion Assembly were for Dao discussions among peers, discussing scriptures and poetry, and sparring in martial arts.
This process was relatively relaxed and free.
Guan Yunyao paused slightly, then her expression quickly softened, a hint of curiosity on her face.
She also wanted to see.
This son of the Empress, and his understanding of the Dao.
“Since that is the case, please enlighten me, Divine Son Jiang.”
Jiang Ye pretended to ponder, his gaze distant, looking out at the mountains, remaining silent.
After a long time, there were no words.
Doubt gradually grew in Guan Yunyao’s heart. She didn’t quite understand the meaning of his behavior, and then asked, “Divine Son Jiang? Why do you not speak?”
“To not speak, but to observe actions, is to truly see the Dao.”
Listening to Jiang Ye’s nonsense, Qing Xiao and Hong Yan covered their mouths with their jade hands, suppressing laughter.
“Divine Son Jiang, please do not tease me.”
Guan Yunyao frowned slightly, a hint of playful anger in her tone, her flawless, beautiful face radiating charm.
At this moment, a commotion came from the pavilion corridor.
Jiang Ye released his Divine Thought, and his heart filled with joy.
The main character had arrived.
He hadn't come here to genuinely discuss the Dao with Guan Yunyao; it was merely a trap.
This Guan Yunyao was extremely beautiful and a peerless Prodigy.
She was also a Protagonist of Destiny.
He only needed to sit here, be seen as a lecher harassing the female lead, and naturally, the Protagonist of Destiny would come knocking.
A red-haired man, alone, burst into the viewing platform, his gaze burning as he looked at Jiang Ye and Guan Yunyao, a hint of blood-red in his eyes.
The newcomer was Shen Lian.
Ever since he encountered Jiang Ye yesterday, Shen Lian’s heart had been restless.
He didn't know why.
He always felt that this Jiang Ye was inherently incompatible with him.
In fact, when he faced Jiang Ye,
His heart would produce a very ominous sense of palpitation. At the same time, considering the powerful background the other party represented, Shen Lian originally had no intention of provoking him.
But now.
He couldn't hold back anymore.
Guan Yunyao was the only woman who had moved his heart after he entered Cloud Top Academy.
In his daily life, he was even cautious when speaking or greeting her.
She was like a goddess in his heart, and he couldn't bear to defile her in the slightest.
Shen Lian had originally planned to proceed slowly.
But today, seeing Jiang Ye appear in Guan Yunyao’s pavilion, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
After all, the other party was more handsome than him, and his family background was miles ahead. Coupled with Jiang Ye’s reputation, a strong sense of crisis surged from the bottom of his heart.
“Junior Sister Yunyao, are you alright?”
Guan Yunyao looked puzzled, shaking her head and saying, “Shen Lian, what are you doing here?”
She liked peace and quiet!
Moreover, this was her residence!
She couldn't do anything to Jiang Ye, but couldn't she do something about this Shen Lian?
