How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 230 - 0226: Luo Family Siblings
Chapter 230: Chapter 0226: Luo Family Siblings
“Brother Chen, rest assured, I will definitely take care of your senior sister and not let her be bullied by others…”
Chen Yu’s attitude left He Qiuyun feeling flattered.
He had never expected that Chen Yu, as his junior, would so staunchly support him and Ye Luofeng being together, almost as if he was entrusting her to him.
And on the other side.
Ye Luofeng’s expression faltered, a hint of irritation flashing through her clear, cold eyes.
How to put it.
She had given this man her first kiss, yet he seemed to be genuinely trying to set her up with He Qiuyun.
But very quickly.
Ye Luofeng’s thoughts shifted, and she noticed the increasingly brilliant smile on Chen Yu’s face, which was quite out of the ordinary.
She suddenly realized, seeming to understand something.
He Qiuyun had clearly been duped, and Chen Yu had probed out his intentions of pursuing Ye Luofeng.
“Oh! With Mr. He’s words, I can rest easy.”
Chen Yu’s smile was radiant.
He reached out and patted He Qiuyun on the shoulder.
He Qiuyun’s body trembled as if struck by a heavy blow.
“I have a marriage engagement with Senior Sister Ye from our childhood, and I was worried about her going to Sky Sword Academy and being targeted by those with ulterior motives. With Mr. He’s care, I believe such incidents can be prevented.”
The following words turned He Qiuyun’s face increasingly green.
He had been played!
He Qiuyun’s face turned cold, as anger burned in his heart, and he kept his distance from Chen Yu.
“Engagement? Since when do we have an engagement?”
Ye Luofeng, with an embarrassed and angry look, almost stamped her foot with rage and glared fiercely at Chen Yu.
However.
That slight indignation and annoyance made her, who was usually too cold to partake in the affairs of the world, seem a bit more feminine, causing numerous young men to be captivated.
“Hehe, so Brother Chen was just joking.”
He Qiuyun, learning that the two did not have an engagement, let out a sigh of relief.
He was quite confident in his own looks, temperament, talent, and family background, having never failed to win over a beautiful woman.
This Chen Yu, although not lacking in looks or strength, probably couldn’t compare to him when it came to attracting women.
Chen Yu saw He Qiuyun’s self-assurance.
He sneered inwardly, this goddess you’re chasing will have to serve as my maid for five years in the future.

“This is all I have to say.”
Chen Yu cupped his fist as he was about to leave.
He and Ye Luofeng had no romantic relationship, and if he inquired too much, he might end up being mocked and gratifying her pride.
“Brother Chen, wait a moment.”
He Qiuyun’s eyes flashed as he suddenly spoke with a smile.
“What can I do for you?”
Chen Yu looked slightly puzzled.
He Qiuyun should be eager for him to leave, so why the urge to keep him?
“Brother Chen, those of us here are preparing to attend a talent gathering at Yunlai County’s academies. New disciples in the Qi Transformation Realm, who are about to join or are currently in academies, are all welcome to participate.”
A disciple of the Chu Family, who was a Qi Transformation Realm genius, explained.
Academy talent gathering?
Chen Yu was intrigued.
No wonder the youth present were mainly Qi Transformation Realm talents, including Ye Luofeng.
“At this gathering, you can meet seniors and juniors from various academies. Brother Chen may even meet disciples from ‘No Demon Academy’ and ‘Yunyang Academy’.”
He Qiuyun said with a light smile.
“Good!”
Chen Yu nodded in agreement.
Although he found it odd that He Qiuyun seemed so keen on him going to the academies.
An hour later.
Chen Yu followed the group of talents to the outskirts of the Royal City, to a villa with beautiful scenery.
Many guards and servants were outside and inside the villa.
“Yunjin Villa.”
Chen Yu’s gaze swept over the plaque, sensing the extraordinary atmosphere of the place.
A servant quickly approached and led everyone inside the villa.
Simultaneously, a voice echoed in the villa:
“Announcing! Hunting King Chen Yu, Sky Sword Academy’s He Qiuyun has arrived—”
As this voice arose.
Inside the villa, the voices of various figures discussing emerged.
Quite the scene!
Chen Yu observed with interest, walking at the forefront along with He Qiuyun and Ye Luofeng.
Very soon.
A man-made lake with a diameter of several miles came into view.
Chen Yu’s gaze sharpened.
He saw pavilions built over the lake, encircling it from all sides.
Moreover.
In the middle of the lake, there was an even larger emerald pavilion.
When Chen Yu and the others arrived, most seats in those pavilions around the lake were already occupied.
In the central pavilion, sat a woman.
She was a moonlike and noble lady in emerald robes, barely over twenty, with eyes deep like pools and hair cascading like a waterfall. Her beauty and grace ranked within the top ten of all the women Chen Yu had seen.
“Greetings to Commandery Princess Ning.”
He Qiuyun, among the other young men, bowed in salutation.
Only Chen Yu was slightly slow in his reaction.
He did not recognize this “Commandery Princess Ning,” nor did he know she was the host of the gathering.
But the three words “Commandery Princess Ning” did give Chen Yu some conjectures.
This girl must be the daughter of Marquis Yunlai.
“The one here should be Hunting King Chen Yu, and this uniquely stunning Miss Ye…”
Princess Ning smiled subtly, her gaze sweeping over Chen Yu and the others.
“It’s an honor I don’t deserve. I apologize for the intrusion and hope the Princess will forgive us.”
Chen Yu said politely.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
A group of young talents, using light body cultivation techniques, floated gracefully into one or two pavilions.
Chen Yu, Ye Luofeng, He Qiuyun, and others were in the same pavilion.
Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng drew many curious glances from the surrounding pavilions.
Chen Yu was known for the honor bestowed upon him as the Hunting King.
Ye Luofeng, for her stunning and pure beauty and temperament.
Chen Yu sensed with his heart and was startled.
Among the pavilions, there were quite a few geniuses in the Qi Transformation Innate realm, although many were in their twenties.
Including Princess Ning, who was also in the Innate stage and among the outstanding talents present.
Chen Yu was taken aback.
These talents from the academies are indeed the new elite of the Yun Zhao Ancient Country; I just don’t know which ones are from the four major academies.
“Continuing our earlier topic, our ‘Yunyang Academy’s selection criteria, in addition to requiring a decent Spiritual Body talent, also investigates personal backgrounds and family circumstances. Generally, those with unclear backgrounds are not admitted. By comparison, members from great families or those with bloodline inheritance from Ancient Clans are more likely to be selected…”
Princess Ning’s voice was as melodious as a songbird, very pleasant to hear.
So this was it.
Princess Ning, coming from the Yunyang Imperial College, was explaining the insights into the admission process of Yunyang Academy, and some of the advantages of the academy.
Behind Princess Ning,
In a few other pavilions, several Qi Transformation Innate academy elites spoke about the admission requirements of their respective academies and their own unique strengths.
Those listening were mostly the many young talents gathered here for the academy assessments.
Chen Yu, too, was a listener, one of the prospective students.
“It seems that I, He, am the only member of the Sky Sword Academy here…”
Before long, it was He Qiuyun’s turn to speak.
“Our ‘Sky Sword Academy,’ among the four major academies, boasts the fewest students and most demanding admission requirements. In addition to a requisite Spiritual Body talent, it also requires high comprehension and understanding of the Sword Dao. Our academy’s ‘Heavenly Sword Pavilion’ is quite renowned throughout the entire Kunyun Continent…”
He Qiuyun’s magnetic voice echoed over the lake surface.
Some female attendees, captivated by his handsome face and charisma, blushed with shining eyes filled with affection.
Chen Yu cursed under his breath, “Pretty boy.”
“I am ‘Sky Star Academy’s’ Luo Qiuman.”
A classically elegant woman in white robes rose gracefully to her feet.
The woman’s graceful beauty and the invisible aristocratic poise she exuded even surpassed that of Princess Ning.
This was an aura bestowed by centuries of history.
Chen Yu was also drawn by this woman’s demeanor, the second type to move his heart after Ye Luofeng.
“As is widely known, ‘Sky Star Academy’ was founded upon the core of the ‘Tianxing Palace’ from the era of sects a millennia ago, which was once a leader of the righteous path. Even in the age of sects, Tianxing Palace was one of the oldest and most revered, and it was instrumental in assisting the first ‘Yun Zhao Saint Emperor’ with the founding of the country…”
The elegant and pleasing voice immersed the audience in the charm of history.
Some appreciative murmurs of discussion emerged from the nearby pavilions.
“The ‘Sky Star Academy’s’ precursor ‘Tianxing Palace,’ is indeed the most ancient and mysterious sect in the history of Yun Zhao Country…”
He Qiuyun showed a hint of respect.
Chen Yu was listening when he suddenly felt the classically elegant woman in white robes casting a cold gaze over him.
Hmm?
Chen Yu sensed that this woman seemed to harbor ill will towards him.
Not just that.
Beside the woman in white robes, “Luo Qiuman,” there was a burly young man whose cold gaze occasionally swept over him.
“Sister Luo truly is a scion of one of the ten great Ancient Clans, with profound knowledge and remarkable insight, I admire you greatly,” Princess Ning said with a genuine smile.
Family name Luo? One of the ten great Ancient Clans?
Chen Yu was startled, taking another look at the classically elegant Luo Qiuman in white robes and the young man in the same pavilion.
The young man’s face bore a hint of cold and tyrannical features.
“I am Luo Haotian from the ‘No Demon Academy.’ Our academy may have slightly lower admission requirements than the other three major academies, but the competition is the most brutal. Every year, the number of those who are injured or maimed is countless, and some even disappear without a trace…”
The young man’s voice was hoarse, with an undertone of cruelty.
By the lake,
The students and prospective students in all the pavilions suddenly went quiet.
“Of course, if you’re a true powerhouse, you can do as you please at our academy. But if you’re the weak? Heh, then you’re nothing but prey at the mercy of others!”
This “Luo Haotian’s” cultivation had actually reached the Late Innate stage, emanating a chilling and horrifying aura.
“I heard that Luo Haotian ranked in the ‘Heavenly List’ two years ago, breaking into the top fifty, and it’s said that he is related to the Tang siblings…”
“Eh! Strange, why are the brother and sister duo here in Yunlai County at the same time? Princess Ning doesn’t seem to have that much clout.”
Some mutterings arose from below.
“Shh! It’s said that Luo Haochen’s direct disciple ‘Luo Haochen’ died as an outside assistant at the Hunting Convention. The Luo Family’s experts have already arrived at the Prince Manor.”
A few well-informed individuals whispered mysteriously.
At this time,
In the same pavilion, He Qiuyun, with a sympathetic look, glanced at Chen Yu beside him.
Chen Yu finally understood why He Qiuyun had suggested he come to this gathering.
However,
His face showed no fear or retreat; this minor trouble with the Luo Family was unavoidable.
Soon, Luo Haotian finished his explanation.
He sat side by side with Luo Qiuman in the same pavilion.
“Haochen brother, the truth has been clarified. Haochen’s death is not much related to this man. Our family has already sent people to pursue the Blood Wing Clan’s strongman. I think we should not be too hard on this person.”
Luo Qiuman sighed softly, advising.
“Be too hard?”
Luo Haotian’s face turned cold and grim, “Haochen was my own brother, even someone who indirectly caused his death; I will not let them off!”
“If it weren’t for this man killing the Blood Dragon Beast and fighting Haochen, it would not have led to Haochen’s death. Moreover, I don’t believe he could contend with Haochen with his Postnatal Early Stage cultivation.”
“Why does he get to escape unscathed, covered in glory, while my brother met an undeserved tragic end…”
