Upon hearing Zhu Chen's words, everyone around him looked on incredulously.

Even the elders from the Celestial Academy stared wide-eyed.

"Zhu Chen? Which Zhu Chen?"

"Which other Zhu Chen could it be? Of course, it's that infamous Fiend from the Lower Realm who's recently gained notoriety in the Upper Realm!"

"You mean... that monstrous villain from the lower realm who destroyed Celestial City, Zhu Chen?"

"That's right, and I heard that he survived the clutches of the Immortal Palace Supreme. That's a Supreme! There are very few people in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who can do that!"

"No wonder he was able to easily force those academy students to retreat just now; it seems he has some skills."

"Impossible, right? This person in front of me looks to be only at the Heavenly God Realm. How could he possibly be that monstrous ferocious beast from the lower realm who escaped from the hands of the Celestial Palace Supreme?"

"Yes, I don't think so either. That Zhu Chen is said to be incredibly fierce, able to fight against many experts of the Celestial Race alone. How could he be so young?"

"It's probably just a coincidence, maybe it's just the same name..."

The surrounding area was filled with murmurs and discussions.

Some were shocked, some questioned, and some dismissed it.

The elders of the Celestial Academy were also secretly speculating, and they were all somewhat undecided.

The gray-haired elder at the head of the group stared intently at Zhu Chen, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

As fellow experts at the Heavenly God Realm, he could sense that Zhu Chen's aura was considerably stronger than his own.

Moreover, the other party always gave him a feeling of being unfathomable.

They are completely different from ordinary Heavenly God Realm cultivators.

"Could this person really be the legendary Zhu Chen...?"

Thinking of this, the elder's expression suddenly became solemn.

At this moment, Qingyi's mind was also in turmoil.

Zhu Chen's face has indeed changed.

However, the charm in his eyes and the calm and composed demeanor he exudes cannot be faked!

"That guy who wiped out the Celestial Race... was it really you?"

Qingyi asked again.

Zhu Chen shrugged without hesitation: "Who else? Who did you think it was?"

When Zhu Chen personally admitted to the next time, Qingyi was completely stunned.

She had always thought that the person mentioned in the upper realm was just someone with the same name as Zhu Chen.

After all, that person was too dazzling. Not only did he destroy the Celestial Race, but he also escaped from the hands of the Immortal Palace Supreme, causing an uproar throughout the Three Thousand Dao Continents.

How could such a person be the Zhu Chen she met in the mortal realm?
"you……"

Qingyi opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Zhu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this: "What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?"

"No……"

Qingyi smiled slightly and said softly, "I just didn't expect... you showed unparalleled potential in the lower realm, and I didn't expect that you could still shine so brightly in the upper realm, that even those ancient sect supreme beings couldn't do anything to you."

Zhu Chen smiled and was about to speak when a clear voice suddenly interrupted from the side:

"Qingyi, is this the Human Emperor of the Lower Realm Fire Kingdom that you often mention to me?"

Feng Wu approached at some point, her beautiful eyes scanning Zhu Chen with curiosity.

Qingyi turned her head and glared at Fengwu: "Don't talk nonsense."

However, Feng Wu was not afraid at all. Instead, she leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I was wondering before, how could a woman as outstanding as you have lost her virginity so early? It turns out this young man is so outstanding. If it were me, I might have already given myself to him long ago..."

"Phoenix Dance..."

Qingyi tried to reach out and cover Fengwu's mouth, but Fengwu dodged her with a quick movement.

Ignoring Qingyi's embarrassed and indignant gaze, Fengwu continued to smile at Zhu Chen and said, "This Zhu Chen is indeed quite good. He's handsome and dashing, young and with such unfathomable cultivation. He's a rare find in this world. It's normal for you to make the first move and establish this kind of relationship with him..." "Fengwu, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll..."

Qingyi was both ashamed and angry, and made a move to hit Fengwu.

Feng Wu continued to laugh and dodge, waving her hands repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore..."

Zhu Chen felt a little touched as he watched Qingyi and Fengwu laughing and joking.

He never expected that after his hasty farewell with Qingyi in the lower realm, she would still miss him so much after arriving in the upper realm, and would even mention him to others from time to time.

It seems that his combat prowess in that 'great battle' in the lower realm must have been quite effective for this girl.

Otherwise, why would this girl still care about him?

After finally calming herself down, Qingyi turned to Zhu Chen again and asked, "What brings you to Tianxian Academy this time?"

Zhu Chen was about to speak, but then stopped himself from saying it.

He originally wanted to say that he was just passing by and happened to come across the Tianyuan Secret Realm, so he stopped by to take a look.

But on second thought, it seems a bit inappropriate to say it that way.

Qingyi couldn't forget him, but he only came to see her because he was "passing by"...

That's a bit inhumane.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chen changed his tune and said, "Actually, ever since I came to the Upper Realm, I've been inquiring about you. I only recently found out that you were here, so I came here specifically to visit and see how you're doing."

Qingyi frowned slightly.

She naturally didn't believe Zhu Chen's words.

He had clearly changed his name, and after merging with Yuechan's main body, his aura and appearance had changed.

Even the people of the Patching Heaven Sect couldn't find her.

How could Zhu Chen possibly find out about her?

but……

Qingyi glanced at Zhu Chen but did not expose him.

She is currently hiding in the Heavenly Immortal Academy to evade the pursuit of the Heaven-Mending Sect.

There are some things she should keep to herself, but dare not tell anyone else.

"I see, you really have a kind heart..."

Qingyi said calmly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

Feng Wu watched the two of them from the side, her eyes full of amusement.

Just then.

The gray-haired elder from the Celestial Academy suddenly walked over.

He cupped his hands to Zhu Chen and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, we were unaware of your identity just now and offended you greatly. Please forgive us. May I ask if you have come to our Heavenly Immortal Academy to find Qingyi?"

The old man was much more polite than before.

It's clear that they've taken Zhu Chen's recent reputation into consideration.

Zhu Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "Yes, I came here to find Qingyi. I want to take her away..."

Upon hearing this, the gray-haired elder was stunned for a moment.

He originally wanted to use Qingyi's relationship with Zhu Chen to try and recruit Zhu Chen into their Heavenly Immortal Academy.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chen delivered a devastating blow right from the start.

Qingyi was one of the most talented students in their Heavenly Immortal Academy, and these old guys had high hopes for her.

If the other party really leaves with Zhu Chen!

That would be an enormous loss for their Celestial Academy!
