Everyone looked at Chen Ye in surprise when they heard Gu Yue's words.
Chen Ye's eyes widened as well, his face filled with disbelief.
She seemed to have become his junior sister, but the problem was that they had never even met.
Yet faced with the girl's smiling gaze, Chen Ye had no idea what to say.
Was he supposed to deny it in public and embarrass her...? Chen Ye thought, glancing at Gu Yue.
The girl wore a smile, but her eyes were calmly fixed on him, especially the chill within her violet vertical pupils.
"Uh, that's right. Yes, Teacher, let Gu Yue sit next to me. We have a very good relationship."
"Fine, then sit next to Chen Ye!" Ye Yingluo said without much concern. Once Gu Yue had taken her seat, she continued the lesson.
Gu Yue sat beside Chen Ye, while Wei Xiaofeng was on his other side, glaring at Chen Ye with a resentful expression.
Chen Ye felt uncomfortable under Wei Xiaofeng's resentful stare. "What are you staring at me for? Pay attention in class."
"I wanted to sit next to you before, but you refused. So she gets to sit there?" There was a trace of anger in Wei Xiaofeng's voice, but Chen Ye was genuinely baffled.
"Are you sick or something? What would you be doing next to me? Who sits with another guy? Go fill a kettle with hot water for me after class."
Chen Ye glared at Wei Xiaofeng, hoping he would abandon that unrealistic fantasy.
He was a bona fide straight man!
Wei Xiaofeng fell silent. Looking at the kettle Chen Ye handed him, he quietly accepted it, his face aggrieved but his mouth shut.
Chen Ye ignored Gu Yue as well, simply lying there quietly.
He clearly remembered that Gu Yue was supposed to go to Class Five, yet she had somehow ended up in his class. There had to be something strange going on.
But he had genuinely been asleep earlier. Aside from a small portion of his consciousness wandering around with Yun Xiao, most of it had remained with his main body.
So Chen Ye had not released his consciousness to observe the entire school. He truly had no idea what had happened just now.
Of course, not knowing did not mean he could not find out.
As Chen Ye lay on the desk and continued sleeping, his figure appeared out of thin air inside the office.
Looking at Long Hengxu, who was sitting there, Chen Ye snapped his fingers at him.
Confusion filled Long Hengxu's eyes. He only felt an overwhelming wave of fatigue wash over him, and then he slumped onto the desk and fell asleep in an instant.
Chen Ye's avatar glanced at him, then stepped forward into Long Hengxu's dream and began rewinding his memories.
Of course, Chen Ye could have searched his memories directly.
But that would not have been clear enough, and Long Hengxu's personal perceptions would have made it inaccurate.
More importantly, doing it through a dream was relatively easier and less likely to be noticed.
In the dream, Wu Zhangkong entered and spoke about having Gu Yue join their class.
Long Hengxu had initially agreed, but not long after Wu Zhangkong finished speaking, Gu Yue ran in and voluntarily requested to join Class One.
Long Hengxu naturally would not refuse a two-ring genius who wanted to enter Class One.
In the end, Wu Zhangkong merely glanced at Gu Yue without saying anything.
Watching this scene, Chen Ye's brows furrowed slightly. It was obvious that Gu Yue had come for him this time.
"But that shouldn't be the case. Wasn't her goal to investigate the Golden Dragon King?"
"Why isn't she looking for Tang Wulin? Why is she looking for me? I don't have the Golden Dragon King inside me either."
A trace of confusion appeared on Chen Ye's face. He had no idea that Gu Yue had already classified him as a dangerous individual.
It was true that Gu Yue longed to become the Dragon God, but that required her to stay alive first.
And right now, in Gu Yue's perception, the power within Chen Ye was so strong that it was nearly terrifying.
With her divine consciousness, she could not see through Chen Ye completely, but she could vaguely sense the existence of Travels of Groselle.
After all, Chen Ye had not yet gained authority over the Seal. Travels of Groselle was merely in his possession, not under his control.
He could draw power from it, but he could not fully control Travels of Groselle.
The afternoon classes passed quickly, but Chen Ye did not sleep peacefully.
Gu Yue's gaze remained fixed on him the entire time, and with his perception, he could clearly sense other people's stares.
As the saying went, any words spoken would surely be known. Gu Yue was openly watching him from beside him now.
When the dismissal bell rang, Chen Ye raised his head and turned toward Gu Yue. The girl's beautiful violet eyes were simply looking at him.
"Do you need something? If you do, just say it. If not, stop staring at me!"
The smile on Chen Ye's face was becoming difficult to maintain, but Gu Yue merely glanced at him, softly said, "Oh," and stood up to leave.
However, when she reached the door, she tilted her head slightly toward him. "Teacher told us both to return to the Spirit Pagoda. If you don't go, that's your problem."
"I'll report truthfully to Teacher that you don't want to go back and don't want to see her."
"When did I say I didn't want to go back?"
"Then hurry up. If you don't go, I'll take it as you not wanting to return." Gu Yue did not look at Chen Ye again and simply turned to leave.
Chen Ye truly had no way to deal with Gu Yue's unreasonable behavior.
If someone fought him, he was not afraid.
Even after beating them up, he could alter their memories and make them think they had never been beaten.
But against someone like Gu Yue, whose memories he could not alter and who was utterly unreasonable, he really had no solution.
With that thought, Chen Ye sighed. Watching Gu Yue leave, he knew he had to go, but he did not want his main body to go.
Chen Ye stepped forward, faint golden light flowing through his eyes.
In front of him, an avatar identical to Chen Ye in both build and clothing appeared.
This avatar, however, looked somewhat more dull-witted.
Chen Ye swept his gaze over his avatar, and then his main body vanished from the spot.
As his main body disappeared, the avatar regained its liveliness. It paused for a moment before running forward to catch up with Gu Yue.
Outside the Spirit Pagoda, after getting out of the car, the two headed directly to its upper floors.
In Leng Yaozhu's office, Leng Yaozhu sat there leaning against the back of her chair, a trace of weariness in her eyes.
When the two entered, she slowly opened her eyes.
Leng Yaozhu's gaze mainly fell on Chen Ye.
It had been nearly a month since they last met, and Chen Ye was in even better condition than she had expected.
"Not bad. You've already broken through to three rings. Your improvement has been faster than I expected."
"Since you came together, you should already know each other. Gu Yue, let me introduce you. This is your senior brother, Chen Ye." Leng Yaozhu said, looking gently at Gu Yue.
Compared to Chen Ye, she was actually more satisfied with Gu Yue as a disciple. Not only was her talent exceptional, but her personality was somewhat similar to her own.
Gu Yue stood there, her beautiful violet eyes glancing at Chen Ye as she quietly greeted, "Hello, bargain senior brother."
"Hello to you too, vicious junior sister." Chen Ye refused to be outdone, though his face showed no particularly obvious expression.
Leng Yaozhu glanced at the two, then stood and rolled her eyes. "I couldn't tell, but you two seem quite familiar. You've even come up with special names for each other."
"I called you back today to test the two of you."
"Come with me to the Spirit Ascension Platform in a moment. I want to see whether you've improved recently."
