Chapter 30 A Clear Conscience

……

"And what about you?"

Tang Yue, who was exposed, did not deny it. She was no longer a little girl, and Lü Cheng was also very mature. If it weren't for his status as a teacher and the age difference, she probably would have already come clean long ago.

With her exceptional talent, flawless beauty, and steady, mature personality, plus the fact that we've known her for a long time, she's not some abstinent, celibate saint.

How could I not be tempted?

"Do you want to hear something nice, or the truth?" Lu Cheng asked.

Tang Yue hesitated for a moment, "Let's say something nice first."

"I do like you quite a bit," Lü Cheng said.

"And the truth?"

"I'm lusting after your body."

"..." Tang Yue.

You're really honest!

"Do you like your little sister Xinxia?" Tang Yue asked.

Lu Cheng paused for a moment, "It's partly out of affection for my sister, since she and I are both people who have been abandoned."

"What about romantic love?"

Lu Cheng shook his head. "Not for now."

After his parents and Ye Chang disappeared, he and Ye Xinxia became orphans.

However, Ye Xinxia was abandoned by Ye Chang and sent to the Mo family, making her practically an orphan.

Out of sympathy for those in the same boat, and also out of a desire for the Parthenon Soul Resurrection Technique, he deliberately tried to get closer to Ye Xinxia. Of course, part of the reason was also to thank Ye Chang.

His parents left without a word, while Ye Chang gave him a card that would provide him with enough to live comfortably before leaving, and even said goodbye to him, albeit in a somewhat unconventional way.

But at least, he never felt the same level of love from Ye Chang towards his parents, or even much love at all.

The person who loves him most in this world is not his parents, but a stranger, and this stranger is even a madman.

He finds it funny every time he thinks about it, and even once doubted whether he was adopted.

"Not yet?" Tang Yue was taken aback.

"Otherwise what?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"I've known her since I was less than six years old. Back then, she was just a little girl who didn't know anything. I practically raised her like my own sister. At least for now, I have no intention of harming my own sister."

"But I can't accept anyone else harming her, so it's kind of a possessive thing, so... just think of me as a siscon."

Tang Yue looked puzzled. "But I can tell she likes you a lot."

She was a woman too, and Ye Xinxia was just a teenage girl. She could tell what kind of feelings that girl had for Lü Cheng.

"She knows how I feel about her," Lu Cheng shrugged.

Ye Xinxia was very smart. She always knew what his feelings were for her and that he had other thoughts about her, but she just couldn't figure out the real reason.

Ye Xinxia even knew that his feelings for Mu Ningxue were more calculated than genuine.

That girl was really smart; she saw through everything but was just pretending to be stupid.

After all, what good would it do to say it?

"You know?" Tang Yue was a little taken aback.

"Then she..."

"She knows who I am," Lu Cheng said.

"She knows she can't change me, but she can't bear to give up on me."

Ye Xinxia is not some naive and innocent girl. She is the daughter of Ye Chang and Wen Tai. She looks weak and helpless and obedient in everything because Ye Xinxia knows that she can't change him, and she has no way or right to stop him from doing anything.

How to stop him from having affairs?

Are you going to talk about the little bit of affection between them?

Ye Xinxia wasn't that naive. She knew very well what kind of person he was. If she treated this relationship as a bargaining chip or a consumable, it would soon be used up.

It was precisely because she understood him that Ye Xinxia dared not test him, because if she did, she would lose him.

"So...you're plotting against her?" Tang Yue asked with a strange expression.

Damn! This kid is a monster in human form!

He even schemed against his own sister, whom he'd grown up with!

"If you know perfectly well what's going on, can that be called scheming?" Lu Cheng said.

"I'm not a good person, and my one and only conscience is to show my true self before going any further."

"If you can accept it, then take it a step further; if you can't, then keep your distance."

"Like now?" Tang Yue was momentarily at a loss for words when it came to evaluating Lü Cheng.

How can someone be so arrogant when they're not in the right?

"I didn't force you. The choice is yours," Lu Cheng shrugged.

"Having done this much, I feel I have a clear conscience and have not deceived anyone. As for what you think of me, it doesn't matter."

"..." Tang Yue.

Depend on!

How did this kid do that?

The scoundrel is so righteous!

……

Ten days later.

Mo Fan and the others finally entered their destination for this training exercise: Baicao Valley.

Zhan Kong finally revealed the truth about the assessment.

"A ghost wolf beast?"

The teachers unanimously agreed with Zhan Kong's use of summoned beasts as "examiners".

This assessment method ensures safety while allowing students to experience what it's like to fight demons.

"Why does this little puppy look so weak..."

Lu Cheng, who had been following the examiners and admiring the scenery, muttered to himself.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang's expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

Little puppy?

"Ahem." Tang Yue coughed lightly twice and pulled Lü Cheng aside.

"The probability of awakening a summoning skill at the initial stage is very low, but it's not impossible. Nationwide, there are still several hundred such cases every year."

Even the lowest probability is not a problem given the massive population base.

However, magic is not necessarily stronger the rarer it is. The strength of summoning magic, or more specifically, the strength of dimensional magic, basically depends on the strength of mental power. Mental power can only be improved after reaching a higher level.

Therefore, although dimensional magic is rare, it is something that, apart from a very few families with special resources, almost no one will deliberately try to awaken dimensional magic.

After all, awakening is useless.

Not only is it extremely difficult to cultivate and requires a huge investment of resources, but it is also basically useless in the early stages. The only thing that can be used is the summoning system.

If used well, it's basically invincible among its peers; but if used poorly, it's no different from an old man walking his dog.

The risk is too great!

Someone like Lü Cheng, who managed to create a dragon at the very beginning of his magical journey, is absolutely unique in the entire history of human magic!

"Is this what they mean by the difference between people being greater than the difference between people and dogs?" Lü Cheng glanced at Bai Yang.

"You!" Bai Yang's face darkened.

"What, you're not convinced?" Lü Cheng pointed to Xiaotian on his shoulder.

"How about we have a little sparring session?"

Bai Yang immediately fell silent, turning away with a dark expression.

Let's demonstrate?

What a load of rubbish!

If Yalong were to slap him, his Ghost Wolf Beast would owe him several lives!

A genius, huh? A dragon, huh?

Just you wait! I'll see if you can leave Bo City alive!

"What are you doing?" Tang Yue asked with a strange expression.

Lü Cheng doesn't like aggressive personalities.

"I don't like him, is that wrong?" Lu Cheng said matter-of-factly.

"..." Tang Yue.

Row!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Tang Yue simply pulled Lü Cheng away.

This is Zhan Kong's territory. You've embarrassed his subordinates. Do you want to have a good time here?

Shortly after Tang Yue and her companion left, an unexpected incident occurred.

"Oh no!" Bai Yang's face turned pale instantly.

"Boss... my Shadow Wolf seems to have gone out of control..."

"What?!"

The expressions of the examiners and teachers changed drastically.

"The summoned beast is out of control? Didn't you guys promise before that there wouldn't be any problems?!" Xue Musheng said anxiously.

"Shut up! This is my territory, and I won't go back on my word!" Zhan Kong said.

"Hurry and save them..."

"what!"

Before Zhan Kong could issue the rescue order, Bai Yang's face turned deathly pale and contorted. He clutched his head and collapsed to his knees in extreme pain.

"Boss Zhan Kong... my Ghost Wolf Beast... is dead!"

"..."
