Chapter 63: The Demon Clan
Huang Rongyu was a little worried: "How about I go with you? After all, with a light-elemental spirit master around, it will be safer to receive assistance during the battle."
Ye Fei waved her hand: "No need, Rong Yu, you can stay at the academy."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Huang Rongyu didn't say anything more. She sighed softly and then turned her gaze to Li Yuan: "Junior Brother Li, please be sure to protect Xiao Fei."
When Li Yuan heard him address Ye Fei in that way, his long eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Alright, let's go." Ye Fei waved goodbye to Huang Rongyu and turned to leave the main hall.
Seeing that her figure had completely walked out the door, Li Yuan paused slightly, turned his cold gaze to Huang Rongyu again, and said word by word, "If you still think that Ye Fei needs to be protected under your wings, then perhaps you are not suitable to stand by her side."
Huang Rongyu was taken aback. Before he could reply, Li Yuan followed him out of the main hall.
The elder, who was watering the herb garden, naturally overheard the conversation between the three. He put down the watering can, walked into the hall, and patted Huang Rongyu on the shoulder.
Huang Rongyu turned around and smiled slightly: "Elder."
"Actually, he's right." The First Elder said earnestly, "If we keep overprotecting her, even if Ye Fei has the best physique for cultivation, she's destined not to become a strong person."
"Only through trials and tribulations can she grow up faster."
Huang Rongyu bowed and said, "Rongyu understands, and thanks the Grand Elder for his teachings."
"However, I also have some concerns." The elder stroked his white beard, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Elder, are you worried about Xiao Fei's upcoming experience?"
"No." The Grand Elder shook his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the dark figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance. "What I'm worried about is Li."
Huang Rongyu asked in surprise, "Li? Elder, do you have some prejudice against him?"
The elder said quietly, "During the last freshman trial, I noticed a strong killing intent emanating from him. If I'm not mistaken... his hands must be stained with the blood of many living beings."
Huang Rongyu was well aware of the deeper meaning behind the Grand Elder's words. He stiffened and tentatively asked, "You mean... the Demon Clan?"
In the four worlds of humans, demons, monsters, and the Nine Heavens, many different races were born.
Among all the races, the demons are the most cruel.
Demons possess the purest evil power. Born in the Demon Realm, they are mostly cold-blooded, cruel, and warlike, a symbol of slaughter. Therefore, the various races have different opinions about demons.
"No, we cannot be certain that Li is a demon." The elder said, "Although I also dislike demons, apart from that trace of undisguised killing intent on Li, he has no connection with ordinary demons at all."
Huang Rongyu frowned. Ever since he first learned of the existence of the Demon Race, he had felt an extreme aversion to this race.
Perhaps it's because he's a light-elemental spirit master that he can't bring himself to like demons who enjoy committing evil.
"It's good that we know about this, but don't mention it to other students and elders in the future." The First Elder thought of something and added, "Especially in front of the Seventh Elder."
Many years ago, the Seventh Elder's beloved died at the hands of the demons, and her hatred and loathing for the demons had long been ingrained in her bones.
Afterwards, she cultivated herself to the point where she could be considered a strong person by the world, and restored her appearance to that of a young girl—because at that age, she met her beloved.
