Heading to Eastsea City

Word of the incident spread throughout the Yue Family, even reaching all of Angel City.

The other families in Angel City were curious too. Anyone with eyes could see that Le Zhengyue was behind it, but no one said a word.

Instead, on the third day after Yue Zhengyu returned, Yue Zhengen personally issued an order. Using Yue Zhengyu's need to recover from his injuries and undergo the Angel Inheritance as an excuse, he sent his eldest grandson straight into the Angel Forbidden Land.

It was an important cultivation area for the Angel Family. Though one could cultivate quickly there, it also meant being completely cut off from the outside world.

Quite a few people were surprised by the news.

With Le Zhengyue gone and Yue Zhengyu confined, the entire Yue Family seemed to fall into silence in an instant.

However, aside from attracting some attention in the south, the matter drew no interest elsewhere.

At that moment, in a rather plain room in Eastsea City, a man and a woman were cleaning while Le Zhengyue sat quietly to one side.

"Uncle, Auntie, you've taken care of everything for me, right? Including my identification and all that. I'm about to start studying at Eastsea Academy, after all."

Le Zhengyue spoke casually as he looked at them, while the two treated him with great courtesy.

They were ordinary people, members of a distant branch of the Yue Family—so distant that they were more than three generations removed from the family's bloodline.

The Yue Family paid little attention to people like them.

Their status was only slightly better than that of the Yue Family's servants. They couldn't even leave Angel City freely.

And this time, they had been able to leave only because of Le Zhengyue. So even though he was merely a branch-family member, they still felt a little grateful to him.

"Xiaoyue, don't worry about that. Your uncle and I have already taken care of everything. Your identity is completely clean. You're our child."

The man spoke to Le Zhengyue with great courtesy. Le Zhengyue simply nodded.

Eastsea Academy would begin in about two or three days. He didn't care much about the start of the school year.

Under normal circumstances, he would never have come to Eastsea Academy. After all, there was nothing to gain from getting close to the protagonist group.

But with Shrek Academy about to hold its Youth Class, it was better to use connections in Eastsea City than to get in under the Yue Family's name.

After all, Yun Ming at Shrek Academy most likely had his memories—or perhaps Ya Li did.

Of course, Le Zhengyue didn't know exactly who remembered. But if they could work together, then someone had to have their memories.

In that case, Tang Wulin and the others would surely be recruited.

The reason they hadn't made a move earlier was likely that they didn't want to alert anyone.

But by this point, with the times gradually moving forward, there was nothing wrong with Tang Wulin and the others openly heading to Shrek Academy.

And that was when Le Zhengyue could go along with them.

Shrek Academy would most likely send people to search for students in various cities. Eastsea City would definitely be a key place for them to investigate.

So at this stage, going along with Tang Wulin and hitching a ride to Shrek Academy was exactly what Le Zhengyue wanted.

The room here was a little cramped. Naturally, it couldn't compare to the rooms in the Yue Family's home. It was only a little over twenty square meters, not especially spacious, but the atmosphere made it feel very cozy.

Le Zhengyue went about his own business. Time flew by, and Eastsea Academy's annual opening day finally arrived.

The campus was lush and green. Countless students chatted excitedly with one another, their parents at their sides.

Le Zhengyue's two makeshift parents were with him as well, and the three of them chatted together.

In the end, Le Zhengyue went into the school on his own. He briefly registered at the academic affairs office, recorded his identity, then took his luggage to the dormitory.

He didn't choose Tang Wulin's dorm room. Instead, he picked the one shared by Zhang Yangzi, Wei Xiaofeng, and Wang Jinxi.

After taking the fourth person's spot, he settled in quietly.

Their dormitory was close to Tang Wulin's, and it should be a much better fit.

As for his class, he chose Class Five as well.

According to the information Song Wen and the others had gathered over the past few days, Tang Wulin and the others had also chosen Class Five.

No one knew about these things except Wu Zhangkong.

Or rather, at this stage, Wu Zhangkong was most likely the only one with his memories. Everyone else, including Long Hengxu and the dean, probably remembered nothing.

Le Zhengyue opened the door and looked at the three boys. The three of them froze for a moment when they saw him.

After all, Le Zhengyue was incredibly good-looking. His skin was fair enough to belong to a girl, yet his face still had a distinctly masculine air.

His golden eyes were especially striking. Looking into them was like facing the sun, giving people a very peculiar feeling.

When the three greeted him, Le Zhengyue answered briefly.

He wasn't planning to get close to Tang Wulin's group, nor was he planning to become Tang Wulin's enemy.

He only intended to use Tang Wulin to get to Shrek Academy and give himself a more legitimate background—or, rather, one that didn't completely sever his ties with the Yue Family.

He needed the Yue Family as his backing, but he couldn't let too much slip.

After all, a direct descendant of the Angel Family coming here—or going to study at Shrek Academy—would attract a lot of attention.

Only a branch-family member of the Angel Family, admitted through the school's own selection process, would go unnoticed. That was exactly what Le Zhengyue needed.

Though Tang Wulin and Huo Yuhao would most likely meet at Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin might recognize Wang Dong based on his memories.

But Le Zhengyue wasn't sure how much Tang Wulin approved of his brother-in-law, Huo Yuhao.

Of course, that wasn't even the most important thing. By entering under this identity, Tang Wulin and the others would naturally feel some goodwill toward him.

In that case, he could guide Tang Wulin. If Tang Wulin and Wang Dong'er became close friends or a couple, it would be much easier to use Tang Wulin against Huo Yuhao. That was what Le Zhengyue needed.

Rather than make himself the central figure and face three protagonists alone, he would be better off drawing the three of them apart and keeping them in check.

If Tang Wulin met Tang San—his own father—he would most likely be unable to resist him.

Or rather, he wouldn't resist his own father. As for the others, that would be another matter.

After all, at this stage, Tang Wulin had only experienced the lovers' suicide. He didn't have the memories from his fourth lifetime, and he had never truly been together with Tang San.

So although he would accept his older sister, he probably wouldn't accept Huo Yuhao.

After exchanging greetings, the four of them went to the cafeteria for a meal. Le Zhengyue also got a brief introduction to Eastsea City.

The opening ceremony would take place that afternoon, and everyone had to attend.

After the ceremony, regular classes would begin.

The three boys looked down a little on Le Zhengyue for going to Class Five, but he was so good-looking that their expressions turned complicated for a moment.

Le Zhengyue didn't pay them much mind. He had come here to get to Shrek Academy.

Based on what he knew about Shrek—or, rather, the information the Yue Family had sent him—within a week at most, these students would go through the selection process and then head to Shrek Academy's Youth Class.
