The July weather was a bit sweltering even at night. However, since becoming a cultivator, Ye Senluo didn't really feel much about the temperature.
When Ye Senluo arrived at the Federal Club, Chen Yanzhi was already waiting for her there. Upon seeing Ye Senluo, Chen Yanzhi knelt down and shouted, "I pay my respects to Your Highness, the Crown Prince!"
Ye Senluo waved her hand, signaling Chen Yanzhi to get up.
After getting up, Chen Yanzhi secretly took a look at this mysterious Crown Prince. This was the second time she had seen this Crown Prince, but the last time, His Highness seemed to be in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to peek.
To be fair, the Crown Prince was quite handsome, but it seemed that he couldn't cultivate. However, for the Crown Prince, not being able to cultivate wasn't a big deal. After all, in this day and age, those powerful cultivators were still running errands for the powerful and wealthy.
As for the rumors on the Internet that after the War King's death, that despicable adopted son would snatch the title, Chen Yanzhi just laughed in her heart. Hadn't the War King considered this issue? But since the War King hadn't intended to deal with Ye Lan, it proved that that adopted son was doomed to not cause much trouble!
At this moment, a waiter suddenly came running out and said softly to Chen Yanzhi, "Sister Chen, Miss Li Yao in Box 302 said that a person named Ye Senluo, who is a commoner, will come later. She hopes that you can, for the sake of the Duke of the Mu Family, let Ye Senluo in."
Chen Yanzhi's expression was a bit strange.
Ye Senluo waved her hand helplessly and said, "Lead the way."
Chen Yanzhi was very dutiful and knew what she should and shouldn't ask. She just led Ye Senluo to the box and then said softly, "Your Highness, Miss Li Yao's membership card was obtained through the channels of the Mu Family. She actually doesn't have the proper qualifications herself."
Ye Senluo nodded, not too surprised. She had known from reading the forums earlier that Li Yao had already hooked up with the Duke of the Mu Family.
"So, do you think I should upgrade her level for her? After all, it's also a symbol of status!"
Ye Senluo rolled her eyes, knowing that Chen Yanzhi had misunderstood. She shook her head and said, "No need. I don't have a good relationship with her."
Chen Yanzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the girl inside the box with a half-smile, and then left.
Ye Senluo gently pushed open the door. The box wasn't big, and there was an expensive bottle of red wine placed on the coffee table.
Li Yao was wearing a white dress, with her long hair piled up high, looking elegant and noble.
She was comfortably leaning on the leather sofa, her slender fingertips holding a goblet, taking a sip.
"The red wine here tastes good. Each bottle is over fifty years old. Do you want to try it?" Li Yao glanced at Ye Senluo and said.
"I'm not used to that stuff. I'll just have beer!" Ye Senluo said.
"Beer?" Li Yao looked at Ye Senluo with disdain. "There's no beer here!" Ye Senluo was stunned for a moment and then found it a bit funny.
"How do you like this place?" Li Yao put down her glass and asked.
"Pretty good." Ye Senluo replied casually.
"Indeed it is!" Li Yao said calmly. "Once upon a time, I dreamed of being able to enter here more than once. You know, I've always been longing for the upper class. I don't want to live the days when I could only go to the student street to eat ramen with you anymore."
"Should I congratulate you on finally making your dream come true?" Ye Senluo sneered. "After all, either Chen Hao or Mu Yun could bring you here casually."
"You don't need to look down on me." Li Yao said. "At least this is the path I chose myself. Both Chen Hao and Mu Yun are better than being with you." Looking at this woman who seemed unchanged and yet had completely changed, Ye Senluo was a bit dazed. Through the one-way glass of the box, she could vaguely see the hustle and bustle outside, with many student couples holding hands.
Once upon a time, they were like that too.
Simple and kind.
Actually, Ye Senluo really didn't want to have any conflicts with Li Yao. After all, they used to be boyfriend and girlfriend. But if Ye Senluo knew that Li Yao had persuaded Chen Hao to kill her, what would she think?
After a moment of silence, Ye Senluo said, "You've already got a Earth-level Physique! There are only ninety-nine kinds in the whole world. You're favored by various big families. Actually... you could have made it through your own efforts!"
Li Yao laughed, "Ye Senluo, you think too simply about cultivation. Even though an Earth-level Physique has vigorous blood energy and can unlock the gene chain quickly, it still consumes a huge amount of cultivation resources. Such a huge amount of resources... you couldn't give them to me... and I couldn't earn them either. Chen Hao could give them to me before, but you killed Chen Hao... Fortunately, I have Mu Yun now."
Ye Senluo frowned, feeling a bit disgusted in her heart. "Now you... are really... not someone I want to communicate with at all. So, tell me, what on earth did you call me here for?"
"Ye Senluo, really, you've surprised me!" Li Yao said. "You actually managed to embark on the path of cultivation and even killed Chen Hao."
Ye Senluo sneered, "What? Are you going to avenge Chen Hao? But from your current performance, it doesn't seem that you have any feelings for Chen Hao."
Li Yao didn't care about Ye Senluo's sarcasm. She said, "Of course, what surprised me even more was that Tang Guoguo was your girlfriend. But Ye Senluo, you and Tang Guoguo really aren't a good match."
"Whether it's a good match or not, only we ourselves know." Ye Senluo said calmly.
"Mu Yun also likes Tang Guoguo." Li Yao said.
"So?"
"Leave Tang Guoguo."
Ye Senluo laughed. She took a deep puff of her cigarette and looked at Li Yao and said, "Are you here today to be a lobbyist? To persuade me to leave Tang Guoguo."
"You're not worthy of making me a lobbyist." Li Yao sneered. "In Mu Yun's eyes, you're just an ant. He just doesn't want to cause any trouble. Of course, mainly because he doesn't want Tang Guoguo to be sad. Otherwise, you'd already be lying in a coffin!"
"Is that so? What if I don't leave Tang Guoguo?"
Li Yao said seriously, "Ye Senluo, the Duke family isn't something a commoner like you can afford to provoke! Just look at Chen Hao, he was just an heir to a Viscount, but you killed him and even attracted the Dragon Patrol Guards. Let alone the Duke family, you'll die if you touch them!"
"Even when you go to the Inner Court, you'll find that you don't need Mu Yun to act. You'll die in there, Ye Senluo. This world is very cruel!"
Ye Senluo shrugged indifferently. "Whether they're opponents or not, we'll only know after a fight."
Li Yao sneered, "It seems that the fight with Chen Hao has really given you too much confidence! Not to mention anything else, Ye Senluo, do you have the resources to cultivate? As far as I know, you're just an ordinary physique!"
It's true that cultivating with an ordinary physique consumes more resources because of the limited blood energy.
"Ye Senluo, if you don't leave Tang Guoguo,... then, not only Mu Yun... I'll also take action against you, because Mu Yun is really important to me!"
"I'll kill you! Ye Senluo!"
Ye Senluo was a bit taken aback. Surprisingly, at this moment, she didn't have too many thoughts in her mind. She just felt that her youth had been wasted!
"I'll be waiting for you to kill me!" Ye Senluo replied coldly.
Two days later, the list of students from the Outer Court of the school who would enter the Inner Court this semester was announced. There were only two: Ye Senluo and Zhang Tiezhu.
At the same time, the external enrollment of the Inner Court also started!
"Little Ye, to enter the Inner Court, you still have to participate in a ring competition! It'll probably start in about a week." In a small restaurant, Tang Guoguo said with worry.
Ye Senluo was eating a chicken leg slowly and wasn't too worried. She comforted, "Isn't the assessment for entering the Inner Court a sure thing for us Outer Court students? Isn't it all an unspoken rule?"
The Inner Court of the War God Academy enrolls a batch of students from the outside every year, and the assessment is very strict. However, according to the principle of local protection, the Outer Court and the Inner Court are one family, so Outer Court students can basically get in!
"This time it might not be the case!" Tang Guoguo rested her little hand on her cheek and said. "I heard that Mu Yun will interfere in this assessment. Given his attitude towards you..."
"Ah, it seems that the hands of these Duke families are stretching a bit too far!" Ye Senluo's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness!
