Based on the tropes and plot points he had read about.
After such an act of a hero saving the beauty.
This young girl shouldn't necessarily be blushing deeply or offering herself in marriage.
But at least she should be full of gratitude, right?
Why did the look in this young girl's eyes make it seem as if he were a bad person?
This isn't scientific!
Are the tropes too old, and she doesn't buy into them anymore?
Or is it that the natives of this world aren't so easy to fool?
Are novels all lies?
Ye Yu was a bit bewildered.
"Who are you?" Ling Xi asked, her tone carrying a hint of coldness.
It wasn't that she was being deliberately like this.
Rather, after having experienced being deceived by others and sold to the Xuanxing Arena before.
She was very vigilant towards strangers.
After all, she knew that not everyone was as warm a person as Jun Xiaoyao.
In fact, someone like Jun Xiaoyao was the rarest of all; it was her good fortune to have met him.
And Ling Xi did not think she was lucky enough to encounter another person like him again.
"Miss, my name is Ye Yu. Seeing you surrounded by Vicious Beasts in such a critical situation, I took action."
Ye Yu explained.
But this instead caused a flash of doubt in Ling Xi's eyes.
One had to know, this was a trial in the ancient battlefield.
And the spots to enter the Shengxuan Academy were limited.
It could be said that everyone participating in the trial was a competitor.
Generally speaking, shouldn't one ignore a competitor in danger?
It would even be normal to gloat.
How could there be such a righteous person?
In this world of cultivation, good people like this were rarely seen.
"It seems I have done something superfluous; you seem to have other means of reliance."
Sensing Ling Xi's skeptical expression, Ye Yu's expression stiffened slightly.
And he wasn't wrong.
Ling Xi possessed defensive measures bestowed upon her by Jun Xiaoyao.
This situation naturally could not pose any threat to her life.
However, Ye Yu had helped her after all, and he hadn't shown any other ulterior motives for the time being.
Although his actions were unnecessary.
Ling Xi still nodded slightly and said: "Regardless, thank you for your help."
After politely thanking him, Ling Xi turned and left.
Ye Yu was a bit dumbfounded.
That's it?
What happened to the plot of the hero saving the beauty and the young girl falling for him?
Why did it feel like he was just a passerby?
He was at least a Child of Destiny; was he really that unimpressive?
He couldn't even move a native girl?
In fact, it wasn't that Ye Yu lacked charm.
It was just that he arrived too late.
In the young girl's heart, the mark of one person had already been deeply engraved, leaving an indelible figure.
Apart from this figure.
No matter how good other people were to her, they could never truly enter her heart.
Ling Xi's heart was very small, small enough to hold only one person.
That person was Jun Xiaoyao.
Watching the young girl's retreating back, Ye Yu shook his head.
"It seems this time, I have failed."
Although Ye Yu didn't have any romantic intentions towards Ling Xi.
He only wanted to get closer to her simply because of her identity.
However, this feeling of being rejected by the opposite sex was indeed unpleasant.
"Ye Yu, you cannot give up. I can sense that the young girl is indeed extraordinary."
"Her Bloodline is likely not weaker than her ancestors."
"In the future, she might be the only clue to finding the time-space ancestral tree."
The Spirit of the Gate of Creation said.
"Fine, she will definitely join the Shengxuan Academy, and I will join too."
"As long as we are in the same place, I can always get closer to her," Ye Yu said.
Finally, the trial in the ancient battlefield ended.
Ling Xi joined the Shengxuan Academy without any surprise.
Ye Yu did the same.
...
On Jun Xiaoyao's side, he had been quite leisurely during this period.
Following Su Jinli, he explored for treasures in various places.
However, rather than calling it treasure hunting.
For Jun Xiaoyao, it was more like relaxing and traveling.
Although there were no major secret treasures, there were still quite a few small gains.
Jun Xiaoyao had to admit that Su Jinli's Luck was truly very good.
During their time together, the relationship between Jun Xiaoyao and Su Jinli became increasingly harmonious.
"Teaming up with Young Master Jun to hunt for treasures is indeed a great pleasure in life."
Su Jinli's eyes sparkled, her brows curved, revealing a cat-like smile.
She had been in a very good mood during this time.
In the past, she always hunted for treasures alone and had to do everything herself.
And she often encountered danger.
Although with her Luck, she could turn disasters into blessings, it was ultimately somewhat troublesome.
But being with Jun Xiaoyao was different.
With Jun Xiaoyao's strength, any danger encountered was basically erased with a single wave of his hand.
She didn't have to worry at all, and he gave her a full sense of security.
"I also feel that hunting for treasures with Miss Su is quite fun."
Jun Xiaoyao also revealed a gentle smile.
He wasn't just being polite when he said this.
With this little koi by his side, his fortune seemed to be influenced and became even better.
So it was said that whoever obtained Su Jinli was almost equivalent to gaining a massive amount of Luck blessing.
"Hehe, it seems Young Master Jun and I are quite compatible."
"If we join forces, wouldn't the treasures of the entire Boundless Starry Sky be within our grasp?" Su Jinli smiled brightly.
Then, she and Jun Xiaoyao continued to wander and stroll around casually.
Afterward, they temporarily settled down to rest in an ancient city in a certain realm.
They unexpectedly learned a piece of news.
"A Gathering of Prodigies will be held in the ancient city of Daosang?" Su Jinli blinked her eyes.
She still loved to join in the excitement.
Then she went to inquire in detail.
Jun Xiaoyao was uninterested in this.
Now, any Genius or Gathering of Prodigies was not worth mentioning in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.
Unless it was that kind of top-tier feast of the highest specification.
Things like Young Emperor Level, anomalous existences, ancient prodigies, or the Reincarnations of supreme beings might be able to make Jun Xiaoyao pay some attention.
Otherwise, ordinary Geniuses really didn't catch Jun Xiaoyao's eye.
After inquiring, Su Jinli returned and told Jun Xiaoyao.
It was said to be a Gathering of Prodigies, but it was actually just the princes and princesses of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty selecting followers.
"Tianyu Immortal Dynasty..."
Jun Xiaoyao felt a hint of curiosity.
Previously, the 10th Prince Yu Huatian and the 7th Prince Yuhua Yan he encountered both came from the Dayan Immortal Dynasty.
That Princess Zimei also came from the Ziyao Immortal Dynasty.
It seemed that there were quite a few of these so-called Immortal Dynasty forces.
Su Jinli explained it.
In this vast Eastern Vastness, endless tribal forces stood everywhere.
Although there were forces like the hundred great powerful clans.
But it was not just tribal forces.
The various Immortal Dynasties were also top-tier forces.
And among the several Immortal Dynasties, the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty was the greatest.
The Tianyu Immortal Dynasty could be said to have once been the hegemon of the various Immortal Dynasties.
At its Peak, even existences at the Hegemon Clan level dared not underestimate it.
However, later, some incidents occurred, causing the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty to no longer be at its past Peak.
But it was still extremely powerful now, ruling over vast territories and deterring all directions.
"It seems the strength of these several Immortal Dynasties cannot be underestimated," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"That's right, this Gathering of Prodigies is actually the princes and princesses of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty royalty, the Jiang Family, wanting to select followers," Su Jinli said.
"Wait, you said the Jiang Family?"
Jun Xiaoyao revealed a strange look.
"Yes, what's wrong? The royalty of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty is the Jiang Family," Su Jinli said, looking puzzled.
Why did Jun Xiaoyao have such a reaction to the Jiang Family?
"It's nothing, I suddenly have some interest in this Gathering of Prodigies," Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.
He felt, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
