"Shouldn't all of you be apologizing?" Michelle said unhappily. She didn't seem to like Lambis very much.
"Don't go overboard, Michelle." Phyllis furrowed her brows. "Senior Rambis is the Rayo Empire's …"
"Forget it, Michelle." Chen Rui had gained a lot today and was in a good mood. "There's no need to argue with these people. Let's go."
"What do you mean by 'no need'? I dare you to say it again! " The one who spoke was the coldly arrogant student, Kane. His eyes were filled with provocation. To a genius like him, being ignored was more humiliating than being slapped in the face.
"It's fine if you can't afford to lose, but you actually want to bite back?" Chen Rui glanced at the students with disdain. "Just by looking at the quality of the students, I can tell that the world-renowned Starlight Academy is only so-so."
Quinn was enraged. Just as he was about to make a move, a teacher with a sturdy figure walked up from the back, emitting an overbearing spiritual pressure. "Student, if you have been rude, you can apologize. However, you have insulted Starlight Academy, so you must give us an explanation."
This teacher was called Anduru. He was usually the most protective of his students and had been secretly dissatisfied with the early end of the trial. Previously, he had not dared to say anything in front of Grandmaster Fenoya. Now that the other party had 'questioned' Starlight Academy, he immediately used this as a pretext.
"This is considered an insult? Now I understand why there are students like this. It turns out that there are teachers who mislead their students. "Chen Rui's smile was a little colder." As for an explanation … "
At this moment, the red-haired girl, Ariel, who had an innate talent for spiritual sensing, suddenly shivered. She looked at Chen Rui with eyes filled with fear.
Anduru suddenly felt an incomparably terrifying spiritual oppression wrap around him. His insignificant oppressive aura was like a candle in the wind, instantly extinguishing without a trace.
That aura carried an incomparably cold killing intent, as if it was condensed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, causing Anduru to feel a sense of fear that his soul would scatter. He instinctively felt that as long as the other party made a move, his body and soul would be annihilated without any suspense, and his body could not help but tremble slightly.
Other than Ariel, most of the students at the back didn't notice Anduro's abnormality. However, the other teacher, Turiaf, who had a sturdy figure, sensed the danger. His entire body lit up with a thick yellow mirror glow, and with a leap, he was already in front of Anduro. "Be careful!"
Turiaf had just made a defensive posture when his body suddenly froze on the spot.
"You should be glad that this is the Immortal Capital of Silver Moon. For the sake of the elves and Grandmaster Fenoya …" Chen Rui snorted coldly and did not continue speaking. He said to Michelle and Blanche, "Let's go."
Seeing Chen Rui turn around and leave as if there was no one else around, the students were all furious. Kane could not hold it in any longer, and a long blade appeared in his hand. He had already leaped into the air, and with a loud roar, he was about to slash out when he felt a dazzling flame, and the air instantly became scorching hot.
A strong sense of danger caused Kane to hurriedly pull back his blade to block, but he was instantly sent flying by a strong force. In the end, he was still one of the top ten students in Starlight Academy, a young genius who was about to advance to the Saint rank. After tumbling a few times, he barely managed to stabilize his body. He only felt a terrifying heat coming from the blade in his hand, and he could no longer hold it firmly. When he let go, the blade fell to the ground. The blade had actually melted to the point of being deformed!
Chen Rui, who had already walked far away, called out, and a small red figure flew back to his head, chirping a few times as if to demonstrate its might. Only then did everyone realize that the one who had spat out flames and sent Kane flying was actually that little red bird.
Although they were surprised, there were still many students who were fond of fighting. Just as they were about to rush up and attack, they heard a trembling shout, "Don't move!"
The one who spoke was Andulu, who was blocked behind Turiaf. His body was already soaked in cold sweat, and blood was seeping out of his nostrils and ears. The thick, mirror-like yellow light on Turiaf's body, who was in front of Andulu, suddenly shattered, as if it was a fragile glass falling on a stone slab. Turiaf's sturdy body swayed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The students were shocked. Turiaf was a powerhouse who had already stepped into the Saint rank, and he was the academy's defense instructor. His unique Earth Mirror Wall could withstand the joint attack of several Saint rank powerhouses at the same time. Unexpectedly, before he could clearly see what had happened, it had already been destroyed by a single blow!
"Peak Saint rank …" Turiaf squeezed out these four words from between his teeth, and he spat out another mouthful of blood, and actually fainted.
The students were all shocked. That ordinary-looking man was actually standing at the pinnacle of strength in the world …
If the other party really wanted to kill someone, apart from Phyllis, who was an elf, no one would be able to survive. Many people revealed expressions of joy and lingering fear. Only Rambis kept staring at the figure that was fading away, her mirror-like beautiful eyes flashing with extraordinary splendor.
"Richard, your bird is so powerful!" Michelle didn't know that Chen Rui had made a move just now. She only saw Duoduo spit fire at Kane, and her big eyes that were staring at the little phoenix couldn't help but shine even brighter.
"Can you call her Duoduo?"
"Isn't Duoduo your bird? Can you let me pet it? "
"…"
Chen Rui slapped his forehead speechlessly, "Oh right, Michelle, I still want to stay in the Immortal City of Silver Moon for a while, but my diplomatic mission has already been completed, and I don't want to return to the Green Pavilion. Is there a quiet place where I won't be disturbed?"
"A quiet place where you won't be disturbed?" Michelle thought for a moment, then looked at Blanche, "Her place is the quietest …"
Chen Rui turned around and looked at Blanche. Blanche was stunned, then immediately shook her head, "No, my place …"
"Will it disturb Miss? Then forget it. "
"It's not a disturbance," Blanche explained. She gently bit her lip, and finally made up her mind, "If you don't mind …"
After sending Michelle back to the palace, and then following Blanche to her residence, Chen Rui finally understood why she would 'mind' it. It wasn't just because this was a forest far from the Immortal City, nor was it because of the simple and crude treehouse. It was because this place was actually a graveyard.
"You live in a place like this?" Chen Rui frowned. Even without the gloomy graveyard, the environment here was indeed too harsh. It was the complete opposite of the exquisite style of the Immortal City of Silver Moon.
"It's not bad to have a place like this." The indifference on Blanche's face deepened, "For a half-elf."
Most elves thought that half-elves were a disgrace to the elves, and they discriminated against them. When the elves signed an alliance agreement with the Rayo Empire, they even deliberately excluded half-elves from their protection. Even though half-elves were more easily accepted by humans, without the protection they deserved, many half-elves ended up as playthings for nobles or experts, unable to free themselves.
They would encounter unimaginable hardships in the outside world, and would be discriminated against within the elves. As mixed-blood half-elves, they carried an unimaginably heavy fate. In comparison, Blanche could be considered lucky to be able to stay in the Jadeite Forest Sea and become good friends with Princess Michelle.
"The half-elves' Soul Mound, where the remains of half-elves are buried. Over there is my father's grave. Michelle told you that he fell into the Nightmare Volcano while searching for the Water of Life in the Plain of Nightmares. Not even his bones were left. " Blanche's indifferent eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, "This place is called the cursed land of death by the elves. I suggest that you go to the Immortal City."
"It's very quiet here, perfect for my meditation. If you don't mind, I'll disturb you for a few days."
"Meditation?" Blanche revealed a look of understanding and nodded, "Alright, if you don't mind the shabbiness of the treehouse, you can stay in that treehouse for a few days. I'll guard under the tree as a reward for helping me and Bai Feng in the forest."
Chen Rui recalled the beloved figure who guarded outside his tent in Mountain Xilang back then. His heart warmed, and he shook his head, "No need. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't have the habit of wronging my friends, especially a lady."
This was the second time Blanche heard the word 'friend', and the coldness in her eyes seemed to fade a little, "It's okay, I'm used to sleeping outdoors."
These simple words revealed the hardships that half-elves had experienced. Compared to the elves in the Immortal City who lived a luxurious life, the life of half-elves was like a shadow in the beautiful moonlight.
Chen Rui thought for a moment, then nodded, "Alright."
For Blanche, accepting kindness made her feel more friendly than rejecting it. There was no need for excessive politeness between friends.
As expected, after the half-elf heard this, her "single eye" lit up, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She actually looked exceptionally charming, but unfortunately, the damn blindfold greatly reduced this charm.
Soon, the half-elf realized that the tent that Chen Rui lent her was actually a luxurious magic room. Her shabbiness treehouse couldn't be compared to it at all.
Blanche was slightly touched. She didn't say anything about exchanging, and she just sat quietly under the tree, guarding the human who had entered meditation. Apart from Michelle and Bai Feng, he was her third friend in her life.
Chen Rui entered the refinery of the Super System. In the refinery, he could comprehend and experiment with the 1: 100 time rule. He seized the time to digest the knowledge he obtained today.
However, not long after, an uninvited guest came to this quiet place that was rarely visited by people.
It was the beautiful assistant teacher of the Starlight Academy, Rambis.
Rambis's beauty was top-notch even among the elves. Her visit to the Jadeite Forest this time had attracted the attention of many male elves, including some nobles. This made her journey to the forest smooth and unobstructed, until she met Chen Rui.
To Blanche, Rambis's beauty naturally had no effect. She was even influenced by Michelle and showed considerable hostility, resolutely not allowing her to pass.
However, Rambis only used one sentence to break the half-elf's' line of defense '.
"I came to find Richard for an important matter that could affect his life. If you have the right to give it up for him, then I will turn around and leave, never to disturb you again."
After a moment of silence, Rambis met Chen Rui.
"Miss Rambis, you must have spent a lot of effort to find this place. I don't like to beat around the bush. Are you here to apologize or give me a warning because of the purple forest?"
"No." Rambis shook her head and revealed an elegant and charming smile, "Rambis Cyber, Princess Bluestone of the Rayo Empire, greets Sir Richard."
Chen Rui raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes. It really was her! Rambis Cyber, the daughter of Emperor Covalonte of the Blue Brilliance Empire, was the only princess of the Rayo Empire with a title. To Chen Rui, she had another special identity. She was the official fiancée of 'Arthur'!
