Early the next morning, Ye Qiu got up early.
The purple aura in the east was fading. After finishing his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye on the rooftop, he leaped down and landed in front of Xiao Lan's door.
He wondered what the two of them had to talk about; they had kicked him out right after dinner yesterday.
Knock, knock, knock!
Ye Qiu knocked on the door.
"Xiao Lan! Your brother is going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy these few days. Don't leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School again! Understand?"
He didn't know if Tang Hao had actually left Heaven Dou City yet, and it wasn't good to keep Xiao Lan cooped up inside him. It was safest for Xiao Lan to stay here.
"Understood, Xiao Lan~" came her sleepy voice from inside the room.
Ye Qiu was still a little worried.
"Miss Rongrong! Please take good care of Xiao Lan. Don't take her outside."
"So noisy! How annoying! Can't I get some sleep?!"
Bang! A banging sound came from inside. Ye Qiu thought she must have thrown his shoe.
"If you're going to leave, then get lost! Stop bothering me!"
"..." Ye Qiu's face fell. What kind of illusion had he had yesterday that made Miss Ning seem so much more polite?
Her morning grumpiness is terrible!
"Alright then! I'm leaving now!"
Without further hesitation, a bloodlust appeared in his eyes.
His jade pendant transformed into a six-pointed star, its divine power concealing him.
Using the spatial markers he had previously made near Tian Dou City, Ye Qiu soon appeared not far from the city gate.
However, he didn't need to enter the city this time. The Tian Dou Royal Academy occupied too much land; it couldn't provide such a large area in the expensive Tian Dou City.
It was located less than 20 kilometers from Tian Dou City, encompassing a large mountain. The lake at the foot of the mountain and the forest behind it served as the students' training grounds.
Finding a secluded path, Ye Qiu once again mounted his long-unseen Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger.
Carrying Ye Qiu, the tiger was also quite excited, running wildly along the way.
Soon, Ye Qiu arrived at the gate of the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
The gate, carved from a single block of marble, was truly magnificent.
Even the steps at the entrance were carved from white marble, each step adorned with a different soul beast pattern.
"Halt!"
Ye Qiu was stopped by the guard as he was about to enter.
Fortunately, Xue Qinghe had already given him a token as proof.
He handed it to the guard.
"So it's Young Master Ye Qiu! I didn't know your identity, please forgive me!" The guard bowed respectfully.
"It's alright!" Ye Qiu waved his hand; it was nothing. "Can I go in now?"
"No problem! His Highness the Crown Prince has already given the order. Please follow me, Young Master."
Ye Qiu followed behind him, and upon entering, the flow of his soul power increased considerably.
Looking at the surrounding greenery, cultivating here using the Blue Silver Domain would be a good option.
Having connections makes things easier; Ye Qiu quickly completed the formalities, receiving his academy uniform and a small gilded badge engraved with the words "Heavenly Fighting"!
He put away the uniform and pinned the badge to his chest.
Ye Qiu still preferred wearing his blue outfit, the kind with a stand-up collar, because...it looked classy!
After watching Ye Qiu leave, the guard immediately sent someone to inform Xue Qinghe.
Walking slowly inside, Ye Qiu didn't need to attend any classes; he went straight to his work, searching for his target.
Along the way, he saw quite a few students, each one acting arrogant and haughty.
It was clear that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was indeed a noble academy directly under the Heavenly Dou royal family, with Emperor Xue Ye personally serving as its dean.
However, the students' cultivation levels seemed generally weak; the second team had been instantly defeated by the Shrek Academy team.
As Ye Qiu walked, he attracted frequent glances from female students, their eyes full of allure, and even some male students
cast unfriendly stares .
'In such a big place, where am I supposed to find Dugu Yan? Should I just join the Royal Dou team?'
Frowning, he strolled along slowly when suddenly a commotion arose ahead.
A group of people were gathered together, seemingly watching something exciting.

"Say yes! Say yes!"
someone shouted.
"Enough!" a somewhat cold female voice rang out.
"I didn't expect to encounter someone confessing their love, but that voice... seems somewhat familiar!"
Ye Qiu stopped and quickly stepped forward.
When he saw the figures gathered inside, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
It was Ye Lingling, whom Ye Qiu had met once before and who had helped him.
And the person confessing was none other than Sabu Chu, the one who had clashed with him that day and even sent people to chase him and try to kidnap Xiao Lan!
At this moment, the ground within the crowd was covered with roses, but unfortunately, the original heart-shaped pattern was now tattered.
Ye Lingling, wearing a black veil and a long black dress, exuded her usual deathly aura, her eyes calm yet cold, keeping everyone at a distance.
"Sabu Chu! I'll say it again, I won't agree to you!"
"Lingling, why! I've been pursuing you for so long, there has to be a reason, right?"
Sabu Chu had dark circles under his eyes, sunken eye sockets, and unsteady steps; he looked like someone who had overindulged in excessive sexual activity.
The deep affection on his face only made him look disgusting.
"There's no reason, and also! Don't call me Lingling!" Ye Lingling said coldly.
"Okay! Lingling," Sabu Chu replied, seemingly unfazed.
He had finally managed to wait until Dugu Yan wasn't following him, so of course he wanted to seize the opportunity, preferably to take her outside and get her there.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Looking at the person blocking her way, Ye Lingling's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
"Whatever, don't bother me!"
She said, turning to leave.
But Sabu Chu wasn't so easily shaken off.
"Stop her!"
As soon as the words were spoken, several people blocked Ye Lingling's path.
As the son of an earl, there were no shortage of noble disciples in the academy eager to curry favor with Sabu Chu.
"Haha, Lingling, I just wanted to invite you to a hotel for dinner, and maybe we could talk about our life ideals. Give me some face, please~!"
Sabu Chu's pale face revealed a sickly smile.
"Get out of the way!" Frowning, Ye Lingling watched Sabu Chu approach, her voice no longer calm.
*Slap!* She slapped away his outstretched hand.
Ye Lingling coldly shouted, "Sabu Chu! Aren't you afraid Yanzi will cause you trouble?!"
"Haha~ Of course I'm afraid, but once we've consummated our relationship, do you think she'll still lay a hand on your man?"
"Ah~" Ye Lingling cried out in surprise.
With that, Sabu Chu seemed to transform into a hungry wolf, pouncing on Ye Lingling.
*Whoosh!* In the blink of an eye!
A blue figure blocked the two.
"Ah~!" Like cold jade, a black jade hand!
Without warning, Sabu Chu let out a scream, flying backward and crashing heavily to the cold ground.
Ye Qiu finally squeezed through the crowd and punched him in the stinking face.
"Boss!" His underlings swarmed over, helping him up, some even healing him.
"Hiss~" Sabu Chu covered his face, gasping for breath.
Looking at the few teeth stained with blood in his hand,
he was furious!
"Who is it! What kind of bastard are you! Beating up an old chicken!" His words were slurred.
"Can't pee! Long time no see!" Ye Qiu smiled at him, his left hand gripping his right wrist, flexing his joints.
"Your skin is really thick! You've made my hand numb!"
