That day, when Chen Zilu invited Jiang Ye to return to An City together, Jiang Ye declined the invitation, saying he already had plans with someone else.
After all, at that time.
He and Zhao Qingli had made an agreement long ago.
It was impossible to break his word.
Jiang Ye initially thought that after he said that, Chen Zilu would not return to An City.
But who knew.
Chen Zilu still came back, and might have seen him together with Zhao Qingli.
Originally, it was nothing, but their intimate gestures might lead to misunderstandings... Furthermore, on such a grand holiday, he was with Zhao Qingli intimately while senior sister was all alone.
If she saw this scene, she would be very heartbroken.
Jiang Ye suddenly remembered earlier when Chen Zilu invited him to go back to An City.
At that time, she might just have hoped Jiang Ye could keep her company, after all, spending the holidays alone is really hard to bear.
Perhaps for the past ten-plus years, Chen Zilu had always been like this, alone in the large house on the mountain, watching the bright lights below.
Time stretches long at night.
This time, she finally mustered the courage to invite Jiang Ye to be with her, but it was refused, and on the day of the holiday, she saw Jiang Ye with another girl...
"Trouble," Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.
Sometimes the world is just so unpredictable.
This holiday, he had long made plans with Zhao Qingli, but the mistake was in going to that street and being seen by Chen Zilu.
These thoughts flashed through his mind.
However, upon seeing the phone connect, Jiang Ye quickly collected his mind and prepared for the worst.
But then another unexpected event occurredâ
"Are you Jiang Ye?" an unfamiliar female voice came from the other end.
Jiang Ye paused for a moment: "Who are you?"
"Iâm Chen Ziluâs friend, Zhao Yingluo." The voice on the other end sounded like an upbeat young girl, but at that moment was somewhat indifferent: "Did you make her feel sad?"
Jiang Ye didnât say much: "Can you pass the phone to her? I want to speak to her face to face."
"Sheâs not at school anymore," Zhao Yingluo said.
Jiang Ye paused: "Where did she go?"
"To a very dangerous place... You donât need to worry," Zhao Yingluo said: "Wait until she returns to speak with her... if she can come back."
Listening to the tone that seemed to want to hang up the phone,
"Wait a minute." Jiang Ye quickly said: "Please clarify, where did she go? Is she in danger?"
"..."
"Do you now know how to be concerned?"
Zhao Yingluoâs tone softened a bit but was still cold: "You made her so sad, havenât seen you these days at all."
"Itâs my fault, I will apologize to her in person." Jiang Ye said solemnly: "Senior sister, please tell me where she is, no matter how dangerous, I will look for her."
"I told you, you donât need to worry."
"She went to the Starry Sky Corridor of the Extreme Sea Star System, can you go there? Going means seeking death." Zhao Yingluo said icily: "Wait patiently for her return."
"Extreme Sea Star System Starry Sky Corridor?" Jiang Ye was mildly astonished.
The Extreme Sea Star System Starry Sky Corridor is a âB Level Opportunity Landâ.
All lives entering therein will be subjected to âDomain Field Suppressionâ, their realm not exceeding Third Break.
"With senior sisterâs prowess, she shouldnât encounter danger, right?" Jiang Ye frowned.
"Originally, there wouldnât be any danger."
"But during this period her condition has been peculiar, unable to perform at her usual capacity," Zhao Yingluo said, gradually becoming a bit agitated: "Zilu originally never planned to go, it was because of you, she wouldnât have..."
Her voice abruptly stopped, seemingly becoming aware she spoke too much.
But Jiang Ye vaguely understood.
"This period?" Jiang Ye was puzzled in his heart.
Could it be the âGod-Devouring Periodâ Bai Gui mentioned earlier?
Upon thinking of this, Jiang Yeâs heart tightened.
"Thanks, senior sister, for informing me." He immediately said: "Iâm leaving right now."
"What do you mean leaving?"
"Didnât you understand what I said?" Zhao Yingluo frowned: "She went to the Extreme Sea Star System! There are Third Break strong persons there, are you going there to die?"
"Senior sister is in danger, I canât wait." Jiang Ye said seriously.
"The Extreme Sea Star System is one of the most dangerous B Level Opportunity Lands! You are too weak; you might die going there." Zhao Yingluo said loudly.
"Compared to dying, I fear losing the senior sister more." Jiang Ye finished speaking and then hung up the phone.
At White Dragon University, within a villa.
Holding the phone sheâd hung up, Zhao Yingluo showed a momentary expression of surprise.
After a moment.
"This guy, really isnât afraid of death."
Zhao Yingluoâs brow furrowed again, the Extreme Sea Star System Starry Sky Corridor was too dangerous!
If it were only ordinarily dangerous, even if Chen Ziluâs condition was not well, she could easily handle it.
But Extreme Sea Star System? The level of danger was too high.
If she hadnât already used up her opportunity to enter, she would have already gone in to find Chen Zilu.
Zhao Yingluo too was very worried about the other partyâs safety.
...
In the suburbs of An City, in front of a large villa.
"Bai Gui senior." Jiang Ye called inwardly: "Will the God-Devouring Period affect capability?"
"Generally it wonât have an effect."
"But if the pain is intense, it might affect combat," Bai Gui said: "In battles between powerhouses, victory or defeat often comes in an instant."
"Understood." Jiang Yeâs heart tightened.
In combat, the state truly matters.
Not everyone has a âDetermined in Adversityâ type buff like him.
The vast majority of strong persons will have their fighting ability affected in painful states; even a slight influence can determine the outcome of a battle.
Not to mention thousands of times the pain of Primordial refinement.
"Senior sister." Jiang Ye could not help but clench his fist.
The other alone came to this city filled with painful memories, perhaps due to the onset of God-Devouring Period, or maybe she wanted to pay homage to her departed mother in this large villa.
