Chapter 1100: News of Li Luo
This sudden voice carried content so explosive that the many students of the Celestial Star Academy in the central area of the plaza were instantly blown into waves of shocked exclamations, gazes of astonishment shooting toward the speaker.
She was a tall, slender young woman, her features exceedingly beautiful, her figure wrapped in her academy uniform curvaceous and alluring, a pair of domineering long legs striding forth, drawing many gazes to wander along with her.
At the center of the woman's smooth brow seemed embedded a rhombus-shaped crystal chip emanating a sacred aura, faintly radiating a unique and dangerous fluctuation; her expression bore an unconcealable cold arrogance, causing the surrounding gazes to slightly withdraw, none daring to provoke her, for this woman was also a prominent figure of great renown within the Holy Light Ancient Academy.
Yin Yue Zhiyu, Upper Academy Third Seat, possessing a Lower Nine-Rank Light Phase.
The Holy Light Ancient Academy specializes in Light Phases, so when it comes to the number of Light Phase students it has gathered, it likely surpasses even some other ancient academies combined, and many Light Phase possessors are also more inclined toward the Holy Light Ancient Academy's expertise, believing that cultivating here would absolutely yield better results than anywhere else.
And before Jiang Jiang Qinge had appeared, this Yin Yue Zhiyu was considered one of the few Nine-Rank Light Phase holders in the Holy Light Ancient Academy.
However, once Jiang Jiang Qinge's Dual Nine-Rank Light Phase was revealed, Yin Yue Zhiyu's once-proud Lower Nine-Rank Light Phase was immediately outshone.
And Yin Yue Zhiyu happens to have a somewhat wilful, cold-arrogant personality, so naturally she harbored much displeasure in her heart, and over this past year, she has not been short on rivalry with Jiang Jiang Qinge.
Wei Chonglou watched Yin Yue Zhiyu striding straight toward him, his eyes shifting slightly at her words, then frowning: "Yin Yue Zhiyu, what are you talking about?"
Yin Yue Zhiyu walked straight over, arms crossed over her chest, and said coolly: "Of course I'm saying something that will make you sad — and that is, Jiang Jiang Qinge wasn't lying. That so-called fiancé isn't some baseless shield — she really does have one."
Wei Chonglou's expression shifted slightly, his gaze involuntarily turning toward Jiang Jiang Qinge. He had always assumed that the fiancé Jiang Jiang Qinge mentioned was merely an excuse to ward off the swarm of infatuated pursuers within the academy — but now, hearing Yin Yue Zhiyu's words, it was actually true?!
Yet toward his gaze, Jiang Jiang Qinge paid no heed. She had not the slightest interest in how these irrelevant people felt; on the contrary, Yin Yue Zhiyu helping to confirm the matter was actually a good thing. However, based on her understanding of this Young Lady Yin Yue Zhiyu, the other party clearly wasn't here deliberately to help her out of a tight spot.
Sure enough, Yin Yue Zhiyu's lips curled slightly as she said: "Jiang Jiang Qinge, you used to cultivate at the Holy Profound Star Academy in the Great Xia Kingdom of the Outer Shenzhou in the Eastern Region, didn't you?"
Jiang Jiang Qinge glanced at her and did not reply.
"That fiancé of yours — is his name Li Luo?" Yin Yue Zhiyu, seeing this, let out a cold laugh and directly tossed out the intelligence she had obtained.
Jiang Jiang Qinge's gaze finally shifted over, fixing on Yin Yue Zhiyu, and she said slowly: "It seems you really did put in some effort."
Yin Yue Zhiyu's background was also extraordinary; she had clearly leveraged those resources to investigate, otherwise she wouldn't even know Li Luo's name.
After all, although Jiang Jiang Qinge had publicly stated she had a fiancé, to reduce unnecessary trouble, she had always kept Li Luo's name confidential.
But even if the name was exposed, it didn't matter — Li Luo had gone to the Tianyuan Shenzhou, which was very far from the Central Shenzhou. Even if the people of this Holy Light Ancient Academy were sour enough to reach the heavens, they couldn't trouble Li Luo in any way.
And at this moment, Wei Chonglou's expression gradually settled. Even if this person called Li Luo really was Jiang Jiang Qinge's fiancé, it didn't matter at all — a bumpkin from an outer Shenzhou had virtually no competitiveness compared to him.
Wei Chonglou was very confident in his own conditions; he believed that through his accumulating contact with Jiang Jiang Qinge over time, she would surely come to appreciate his excellence, and at the same time erase and forget all those past connections.
"Yin Yue Zhiyu, regardless of whether these things are true or not, there's no need for you to keep talking about them, because it doesn't mean anything." Wei Chonglou spoke up.
Yin Yue Zhiyu pursed her lips and said impatiently: "I'm talking to Jiang Jiang Qinge — can you shut up?"
This damn simp, so annoying.
Then she lazily ignored Wei Chonglou, stared at Jiang Jiang Qinge and said: "You think I only dug up this much intelligence? What I'm about to say next, you might find very interesting."
"I heard that the Tianyuan Ancient Academy has convened an 'Academy-Level Evaluation' this time, and the Holy Profound Star Academy happens to fall under their jurisdiction. In fact, this Academy-Level Evaluation was one in which this 'Holy Profound Star Academy' secured a First-Class quota."
Jiang Jiang Qinge's previously calm expression finally showed a slight ripple, a flash of astonishment crossing her eyes. The Holy Profound Star Academy actually obtained a First-Class quota in this kind of Academy-Level Evaluation? Since when did the Holy Profound Star Academy have such strength? As far as she knew, the Holy Profound Star Academy's best result in the past had only ever been a Second-Class quota — and what's more, the Holy Profound Star Academy has now suffered a great upheaval, and simply doesn't have enough time or manpower to handle this evaluation.
So what sudden change had occurred within this?
Jiang Jiang Qinge's thoughts churned, and connecting them with some of Yin Yue Zhiyu's earlier words, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat — could it be?
And at this moment, Yin Yue Zhiyu's voice continued: "And I heard that this time, the Holy Profound Star Academy's Academy-Level Evaluation actually had only one student representative from a Three-Star Academy."
"And that student's name seems to be Li Luo."
Jiang Jiang Qinge was slightly dazed; she hadn't expected that at this moment, she would suddenly hear news of Li Luo.
Wasn't he with the Li Li Tianwang lineage? How could he be representing the Holy Profound Star Academy in the Tianyuan Ancient Academy's Academy-Level Evaluation?
But for him alone to have helped the Holy Profound Star Academy secure a First-Class quota — this showed that his strength over this past year or more must have undergone tremendous improvement.
The familiar face etched deep in her memory flashed through her mind, and the corners of Jiang Jiang Qinge's lips couldn't help but curve into a faint smile. This single smile caused the many gasps of astonishment around her to quietly subside, every gaze now filled with awe.
Jiang Jiang Qinge, in her daily life, clearly rarely revealed such an expression.
Wei Chonglou naturally saw it too, and immediately felt extremely sour in his heart. This person named Li Luo clearly held a rather heavy place in Jiang Jiang Qinge's heart — otherwise, he wouldn't have made her bloom into a smile.
As for the battle achievements Yin Yue Zhiyu mentioned, in his view they were utterly insignificant. Those Academy-Level Evaluations between holy academies — calling them chickens pecking at each other would be generous. That Li Luo being able to single-handedly help the Holy Profound Star Academy obtain a First-Class quota, although it should count as having some ability and capability, Wei Chonglou didn't care in the slightest.
Speaking of competitiveness, could he lose to a bumpkin from an outer Shenzhou? Right now Jiang Jiang Qinge was only considering past sentiments, but as time went on, Jiang Jiang Qinge would surely realize that this so-called Li Luo was ultimately not the optimal choice.
But that kid is still very detestable. What a pity that kid isn't here right now — otherwise, he would let Jiang Jiang Qinge have a good look at the gap between them.
"Jiang Jiang Qinge, it seems you're very happy."
A playful look surfaced on Yin Yue Zhiyu's pretty face as she said: "Then let me tell you something else that'll make you happy. Because the timeframe of that Academy-Level Evaluation happens to overlap with this Levying Mission, those Three- and Four-Star Academy students from those holy academies have all been levied by the Tianyuan Ancient Academy. In other words, your fiancé will also be entering the Little Chen Heaven this time — perhaps, you two might even meet."
At this moment, even with Jiang Jiang Qinge's composure, she finally couldn't help but freeze, her gaze lost for several breaths, then deep within her eyes it was as if flowing radiance surged forth, causing her exquisitely beautiful face to bloom at this moment with a charm that made everyone present lose themselves.
She instantly blocked out all sound at that moment, her heart filled only with surging waves.
Li Luo, would also be participating in this Levying Mission?
After a gap of a whole year, they could finally meet again?
