Chapter 1108: News of Li Luo

The voice was explosive. All of the Heavenly Star Hall students in the area got excited, and their gazes turned towards the origin of the voice.

It came from a tall young girl. She had a very pretty face with a curvy figure under her robes. Her legs were long and drew the crowd's eyes as she made her way forward.

There was a diamond-shaped chip giving off a holy aura in the smooth area between her eyebrows. It was faint, but the waves were special and frightening. The girl exuded an air of cold arrogance that could not be concealed, causing the surrounding eyes to look away. No one dared to provoke her recklessly, because she was also a well-known figure in the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College. Yue Zhiyu, ranked third in the Upper Hall; lower ninth-grade light resonance.

The Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College had always prided itself in its development of students with light-related resonances. Therefore, it had taken many more students with light resonances compared to the other ancient colleges. Many students with these resonances aimed to enter the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College as they believed their cultivation would be better there.

Despite all this, Yue Zhiyu was one of the few ninth-grade light resonance users before Jiang Qing'e showed up.

Unfortunately, she and her lower ninth-grade light resonance had fallen out of the limelight thanks to Jiang Qing'e.

She was the petty, cold, and arrogant kind, so she naturally felt frustrated over this change and had been actively going against Jiang Qing'e for the past year. When Wei Chonglou saw Yue Zhiyu walking straight up to them, his eyes changed a little. He frowned and asked, "What're you talking about, Yue Zhiyu?"

Yue Zhiyu walked up to them directly, crossed her arms, and replied, "Something that'll make you sad, of course. Jiang Qing'e was not lying—she really has a fiance. It's not some shield she created out of nothing."

Wei Chonglou's expression changed a little. He could not help but look towards Jiang Qing'e. He had always thought that she had used an imaginary fiance as a shield to fend off all her admirers. However, Yue Zhiyu was saying that her fiance really existed.

Jiang Qing'e did not care about his gaze though. The feelings of these unimportant people did not matter to her. Actually, it was great that Yue Zhiyu could confirm this truth for her. However, she knew that Yue Zhiyu was not here to help her out, knowing her personality.

The corners of Yue Zhiyu's lips curled a little as she continued, "Jiang Qing'e, you used to study in the Astral Sage College of the East Divine Continent's Xia Kingdom, right?"

Jiang Qing'e gave her a glance but did not reply.

"Is your fiance named Li Luo?" Yue Zhiyu laughed out coldly, throwing out the intel that she had gathered straight away.

Jiang Qing'e finally looked over. She stared widely at Yue Zhiyu and said slowly, "You must have worked really hard."

Yue Zhiyu had an impressive background. She must have made use of all the resources at her disposal to learn this. Otherwise, she couldn't have known Li Luo's name.

Jiang Qing'e had publicly declared that she had a fiance, but she had never mentioned Li Luo's name as she did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Nonetheless, it was not a big deal that the name had been revealed. Li Luo had gone to the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent, which was far away from the Central Core Divine Continent. Even if the people from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College were jealous, there was not much they could do to him.

Wei Chonglou gradually regained his composure. It did not matter if Li Luo was really Jiang Qing'e's fiance—he was just a country bumpkin. Compared to someone like that, he was a much better choice. And he was very confident in his own charm. As long as he spent more time with Jiang Qing'e, he believed that the latter would notice his good points and slowly forgot about the past.

"Yue Zhiyu, I don't care if that's real or not. There is no need to say any more. It is meaningless," Wei Chonglou said.

Yue Zhiyu pouted. Irritated, she replied, "I am talking to Jiang Qing'e. Can you shut up?"

This barking dog was indeed irritating. She could not be bothered with Wei Chonglou, so she looked back at Jiang Qing'e. "Do you think that's all I've gathered? You'll be even more interested in what I am going to say next. I heard that there was an academic evaluation at the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. The Astral Sage College, which is under their jurisdiction, has gotten a first tier spot in the evaluation."

Finally, a slight disturbance could be seen on Jiang Qing'e's calm face. There was a flash of surprise in her eyes. The Astral Sage College had managed to get a first tier spot in the academic evaluation? Since when were they that strong? Based on her understanding, the best result that the Astral Sage College had ever gotten was a second tier spot. Moreover, a catastrophe had befallen the Astral Sage College, so there was no chance they had enough time or manpower to have done well in the evaluation.

In that case, what had brought about this unexpected result?

Jiang Qing'e's mind raced quickly. She thought about what Yue Zhiyu had said earlier, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

At this point, Yue Zhiyu continued, "Moreover, there was only a single Three Star Hall student representing the Astral Sage College.

"I think... that student is named Li Luo."

Jiang Qing'e was slightly stunned. She had not expected to suddenly hear about Li Luo today.

Wasn't he with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li? How had he ended up representing the Astral Sage College in the academic evaluation in the Heavenly Origin Ancient College?

On top of that, he had managed to secure a first tier spot with just his own strength. This was clear proof of how much stronger he had gotten over the past year.

Memories of his familiar face flashed across her mind. Jiang Qing'e couldn't help it. A subtle smile appeared on the corners of her lips, which turned the noisy crowd around her silent for a moment. Everyone looked towards her in surprise.

Jiang Qing'e hardly ever showed such an expression.

Wei Chonglou noticed this as well. He felt irritated deep down. That bright smile was proof that this guy named Li Luo clearly held a very important position in her heart.

As for the achievements mentioned by Yue Zhiyu, he did not care about them. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the academic evaluations between sage colleges were novices pecking at each other. Li Luo had to be pretty strong to be able to win with his strength alone. However, Wei Chonglou did not care about it at all. In terms of strength, how would he lose to a country bumpkin from an outer divine continent? Jiang Qing'e was just unable to let go of her old feelings at the moment. As more time passed, she would surely understand that Li Luo was clearly not the best choice. Nonetheless, he was such a despicable fellow. Thankfully, this fellow was not in front of him. Otherwise, he would definitely show Jiang Qing'e the difference in their strength.

"Jiang Qing'e, you seem really happy."

A playful expression appeared on Yue Zhiyu's face. "Let me tell you another piece of happy news. As the academic evaluation took place around the mobilization mission, all the Three and Four Star Hall students from sage colleges have been recruited into the mission by the Heavenly Origin Ancient College. In other words, your fiance will be coming into the Fifth Minor Earthly Branch Realm too. Perhaps you'll be able to meet him."

At this moment, even Jiang Qing'e could not keep her composure. Her eyes were blank for a few breaths, and there seemed to be an overflowing light emerging from the depths of her eyes. Coupled with her beautiful and delicate cheeks, the charming sight made everyone lose their minds.

She had silenced everyone in that instant. Her heart was overwhelmed with emotions.

Li Luo would be participating in this mission too?

Could they finally meet again after one whole year?
