Chapter 469: She doesn't need to know
After a brief chat, Ye Fei said goodbye to Chi Ye; her teammates were still waiting for her.
“I will watch every single one of your matches.” Chi Ye gazed at the girl before him, his golden, demonic eyes filled with a gentle warmth.
The ruthless and decisive ruler of the demon realm bestowed her tenderness without reservation upon this little human girl who had helped her.
Ye Fei smiled brightly: "Yes! I definitely won't let you down!"
Watching Ye Fei run off towards the brightly lit Lanruo City not far away, Chi Ye slowly suppressed the smile on his lips.
She was like a free butterfly, fluttering joyfully back to the world that belonged to her.
Standing beside Chi Ye, Qingzhu spoke slowly: "If Miss Ye knew that His Highness the Holy Emperor was going to protect her, wouldn't she be unhappy?"
He could tell that although Miss Ye seemed easy to talk to on the surface, she was actually very independent. Even with the Demon Lord Li Yuan right beside her, she did not seem to make any move to rely on the powerful.
She is undoubtedly a chosen one of heaven, proud and unlikely to want His Highness the Holy Emperor to personally protect her.
Chi Ye's voice was cold: "She doesn't need to know these things."
Since she and Li Yuan have reached an agreement, with Li Yuan in the open and her in the shadows, she will not reveal it as long as Ye Fei does not notice.
All she needs to do is become who she wants to be; she doesn't need to know how much she has sacrificed for her.
All of this was done willingly by Chi Ye.
Although Ling liked Ye Fei very much, she was still a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, I still don't quite understand why you insist on personally protecting Ye Fei."
If the only requirement is to protect Ye Fei in secret, His Highness the Holy Emperor can have his attendants do it.
Chi Ye was silent for a while before answering her, "Perhaps it's because she has seen too many humans with complicated and treacherous thoughts that she seems out of place among this group of humans."
When they first met in Luanyunjian, the look in Ye Fei's eyes when he saved her was so sincere that not a trace of darkness could be tolerated.
Beneath that tender body lay a soul as inextinguishable as a blazing fire, which stirred a sense of kinship within her.
Therefore, I was able to make up my mind to protect her.

Ye Fei returned to Lanruo City unharmed and reunited with her teammates.
Her teammates breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that her complexion was normal.
Ye Fei smiled and explained to everyone, "I went to see a friend. I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
She clearly didn't want to say more. It was simply because Lanruo City was a mixed bag, and there were many forces lurking nearby. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better not to mention Chi Ye's name.
The teammates were all smart, so they didn't ask any more questions.
The group quickly headed back home.
When Ye Fei returned to the Orchid Pavilion, she saw a large black stone notice board standing at the entrance of the venue.
Many younger people stood around the notice board, discussing it animatedly.
Ye Fei leaned closer to take a look and found that the notice board displayed the individual post-match standings for today.
Currently, the Lingfeng Academy Ye Fei Team, the Xingluo Royal Academy Wenren Qi Team, and the Cangming Academy Su Haochen Team are tied for first place with a total score of three points.
The remaining 27 teams were ranked at the bottom, with a maximum of two points and a minimum of zero points.
Given that some participants were not selected for their matches in the first day's individual competitions, the official elimination process will begin after all matches have concluded.
In addition to displaying the daily standings, the notice board also specifically stated that a three-player tournament would be held the following day.
