After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"You don't think you're someone I can just pat on the back, do you?"

Lin Lei's joy froze.

Leng Qing said coldly.

"I did calculate this Heart Sword for you, but Zhou Yan sold himself for a while before getting it back. So, control your temper. When you see Zhou Yan later, use the Heart Sword as an excuse to spar with that kid and build a relationship."

Lin Lei's expression was somewhat off.

"Isn't that child someone we don't get along with?"

Leng Qing said nonchalantly.

"It's just youthful stubbornness. He'll join our team sooner or later and we'll even participate in the four-school competition together. In fact, after I graduate, he'll most likely become the leader of our top students. Lin Lei, you understand, right? If Zhou Yan becomes the leader of our team, and you still insist on opposing him, what will happen to you without my help?"

Lin Lei's expression darkened further.

"I...I understand."

Lin Lei lowered his head, sobbing, and said with some distress.

"I, I'll try to build a good relationship with the junior later. So what if I admit defeat? I, I'll admit defeat."

Leng Qing left the training room with satisfaction.

After leaving the teaching building where the training room was located, Leng Qing walked to a pond outside the building.

"By the pond, Leng Qing spoke."

"Junior Lin, are you there?"

In the center of the pond, Lin'an Ru, who was cultivating, peeked out from under the water, revealing half of his head.

Leng Qing said calmly.

"Zhou Yan should be in Zhongzhou City now, junior. I need you to go to Zhongzhou City, is that alright?"

Lin An's head emerged completely from beneath the water, the girl asked in confusion.

"Senior, what do you want me to do in Zhongzhou City?"

The school doesn't restrict its awakened students from running around, but Lin Anru isn't one to wander off aimlessly either.

"I want you to go see Zhou Yan."

"Then……"

Leng Qing didn't know what kind of image she had in Zhou Yan's heart, but she was sure she couldn't escape the label of a stranger. In addition, since she and Lin Lei were on the same team, Leng Qing felt that if she directly called Zhou Yan to talk about Wu Shanfu, Zhou Yan would probably give her a cold shoulder.

This guy, who couldn't help but knock over Lin Anru as soon as he entered the school, and whose lightning bolt almost killed Lin Lei, has a temper that can't be described as explosive; he's simply lawless.

Therefore, if you want to get information out of Zhou Yan, it would be a waste to ask Zhuque directly. It would be better to have Lin'an Ru, who has a good relationship with Zhou Yan, go to Zhou Yan's side and gradually extract the information. If all else fails, then ask Zhuque for help.

Leng Qing took out a crystal ball that shimmered with water from her bosom and threw it towards Lin Anru.

Lin Anru caught it, and Lin Anru was surprised and asked in astonishment.

"Is this the Water Essence Pill?"

Leng Qing nodded.

"Yes, I'm giving this to you, as long as you help me with what I need to do next."

Leng Qing told him about her plan to get information from Zhou Yan in Lin'an.

……

Zhongzhou City, Wu Family Taoist Temple.

Zhou Yan, carrying the Black Jade Healing Ointment and other healing medicines prepared by Wu Shanfu, walked out of the Wu Family Martial Arts Hall with Xie Xin.

When they came out, Xie Xin looked at Zhou Yan with the eyes of someone looking at an idol.

Just now, Zhou Yan and Wu Shanfu fought, and Wu Shanfu benefited a lot. Xie Xin also gained a lot of inspiration. Both girls had a feeling that there were people in this world with such high purity.

Xie Xin took Zhou Yan to the luxury car. As soon as they got in, Xie Xin couldn't help but ask.

"Um, Master Zhou?"

"Ok?"

"Did you train in those pitch-black caves before?"

Xie Xin had heard his father say that there was once a blind soldier whose most famous battle was when he killed more than a hundred enemies in the dead of night when it was pitch black.

Xie Xin suspected that Zhou Yan might have entered the cave with multiple enemies in the past, or had engaged in a deadly battle at night.

What kind of scene was it?

In the darkness, the sounds of running, clashing swords, and sparks flew together.

In this scenario, technology, weapons, strength, and agility become meaningless; intuition, awareness, and luck will take precedence.

Clearly, Zhou Yan, this big shot, defeated all his enemies with his superior awareness and intuition. Xie Xin really wanted to take off Zhou Yan's clothes to see if he had Guan Yu tattooed on his back and his chest covered in scars from sword cuts.

Zhou Yan looked at Xie Xin strangely, while Xie Xin's eyes shone brightly.

"Master, you are so skilled at swordsmanship even with your eyes closed. You must have achieved this through arduous and rigorous training, right?"

No, we rely on cheat codes.

"It's not appropriate to say this to their faces," Zhou Yan shook his head, trying to sound cool.

"I don't want to talk about those things..."

Xie Xin nearly crushed the steering wheel in his hands.

Zhou Yan's tone suggests he may have experienced extreme pain during training.

Xie Xin said in a trembling voice.

Was that training session really that dangerous?

Zhou Yan kept a straight face and casually uttered a sentence.

"They were a group of formidable opponents, but unfortunately, I was the only one who survived in the end."

Xie Xin felt like she couldn't breathe.

A formidable opponent; I am the only one who survived.

Has this big shot really experienced countless life-or-death duels?

"Um, Master..."

"Alright, drive, I'm going back to rest."

If he continued, Zhou Yan was afraid he wouldn't be able to cover it up.

"Okay, fine."

Xie Xin turned the car around and drove out of Wu Family Martial Arts Hall.

It was already evening, and the surrounding streetlights were coming on one by one. Many men, women, and children went out onto the streets, either to eat at restaurants or to shop in some pedestrian areas.

Xie Xin's car drove past a square, and when they were halfway there, Zhou Yan suddenly shouted.

"Wait a moment."

Xie Xin stopped the car and asked Zhou Yan, puzzled.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yan rolled down the car window and looked towards the steps leading out of the square. Several skateboarding teenagers were going up and down the steps, while the onlookers cheered.

Zhou Yan had seen many people skateboarding at night. Before he became an Awakened, his classmates had told him that if you went to a nearby square with lots of people late at night to do some extreme sports or perform magic tricks, as long as you were cool and eye-catching enough, you would likely meet some very open-minded girls for a deep conversation.

Zhou Yan's hometown is Cihe City, a rural city, while Zhongzhou City is the capital of the country. The nightlife there is much more sophisticated than the crowds in the squares of Zhou Yan's hometown, and the girls surrounding those skateboarding boys are much prettier. Of course, Zhou Yan himself doesn't care how cool the skateboarding boys' skateboards are or how pretty the girls surrounding them are.

Zhou Yan stared at a little girl who was skateboarding with a blond, handsome boy, their cooperation seamless.

Little Yama...

This "true god," whom Zhou Yan had no idea what he'd been up to since their breakup in Zhongzhou, was now holding hands with a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, walking up and down the flowerbeds and steps, causing gasps of surprise.

No, you're over a hundred years old, aren't you?

Little Yama, how did you manage to play those tricks?

Is it fun to play with young people who are old enough to be your great-grandchildren?

As Xiao Yanjun was skateboarding, he seemed to sense something, turned his head, and met Zhou Yan's gaze.

Little Yama smiled immediately.

Zhou Yan felt a chill in his heart, quickly rolled up the car window, and said to Xie Xin beside him.

"Drive, drive, get out of here quickly."

Xie Xin was about to leave, looking puzzled, but before she could, a figure quickly appeared outside Zhou Yan's car window. Little Yan Jun knocked on Zhou Yan's window, and Zhou Yan helplessly rolled it down.

Little Yama said with a look of disgust.

"Am I a demon? What kind of person runs away when they see me?"

Zhou Yan shrugged.

"I just feel uncomfortable seeing you, I'm afraid you might..."

What makes Zhou Yan uncomfortable is probably some kind of danger brewing.

The blond boy who had previously skateboarded with Xiao Yanjun rode his skateboard to Zhou Yan's car.

"Who are you?! What's your relationship with Xiao Yan?"

The skateboarding boy looked down at Zhou Yan as if he were trash.

Zhou Yan was somewhat confused. They were meeting for the first time, so why was this man looking at him with such overwhelming malice?

Behind the skateboarding boy, more than a dozen skateboarding boys rode over and surrounded the car where Zhou Yan was sitting.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Damn it, I knew I was right when I felt that chill just now. This damn danger is coming right to my doorstep.

The little Yama King, the beast who caused all this, turned around with a grin and said to the blond boy who had just been skateboarding with him.

"What relationship? It's a big one, this person is my boyfriend."

The blond boy immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Great, you don't have a boyfriend now."

The blond boy pointed to the ground in front of his feet.

"Come here, kneel down and kowtow a few times, then kneel down and tell Xiao Yan that you broke up with her and that she should stop bothering him!"

Zhou Yan: "..."

What's causing this unpleasant feeling?

"Boom!"

A baseball bat slammed into the windshield in front of Zhou Yan. It was a skateboarder next to the blond boy who had pulled out a baseball bat and smashed it.

The blond boy raised his voice.

"Come out! Kneel down and kowtow!"

Xie Xin looked at Zhou Yan with a mocking expression. Xie Xin was very curious about what Zhou Yan would do next. It would be best if he killed all these people. Then Xie Xin could do Zhou Yan a favor.

Zhou Yan didn't make a move, but instead asked the blond boy a question.

Who are you?

The blond boy sneered.

"You country bumpkin, do you really think you're something special just because you drive a nice car? Do you really think that just because your chicken coop rolls around a few times, the whole world is like this? Zhongzhou City isn't a place for a country bumpkin like you to mess around. Do you believe that if you don't come out in five seconds, your whole family will be wiped out tomorrow?"

This blond boy didn't seem like someone who could communicate, so Zhou Yan could only look at Little Yama.

Little Yama whispered.

"Have you heard about the recent case of the female college student's teeth in the garden?"

Zhou Yan nodded; he had just encountered a protest march against the case today.

Little Yama continued.
