Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Holy crap?!?"

Jiang Xiaoming screamed in horror in class: "You guys were all accepted into the inner sect too?! And Ye Ge, you even became the principal's personal disciple?!"

As soon as he said that, all the students in the class turned their heads in a flash, and their eyes all focused on him.

The children's exclamations and excited chatter continued...

Ye Ge sighed and said helplessly, "Why are you shouting so loudly..."

"Why am I shouting so loudly? This is a personal instruction from the headmaster!"

Jiang Xiaoming gritted his teeth, his fists clenched tightly: "Damn it... I thought I had finally beaten you once, but you still managed to overtake me..."

"But I will absolutely not give up!"

"One day, I will definitely beat you! No matter what!"

"Hey, Yege, can't you hear me??"

"..."

Ye Ge remained calm, showing neither much joy nor any sense of pride in the matter. The report card lay on the table in front of him, but to him it was just an ordinary piece of paper.

He was well aware of his own talent. With SSS-level learning ability in ten professions, plus the ancient mutant bloodline of the Demon King level, in terms of talent, no one in the entire human empire could compare to him.

But Ye Ge couldn't understand why the academy's attitude had suddenly changed so drastically.

For no apparent reason, he was taken into the inner sect.

And he was even the personal disciple of that legendary principal?

As far as he knew, the legendary headmaster hadn't taken on any direct students for almost a hundred years.

Both he and Gao Shenxue came from demonized families. In particular, he was the son of the current head of the Ye family, and there was a very high probability that he would succeed Viscount Night Owl as the new lord of Night City.

Despite these circumstances, the principal still chose him to be his personal disciple...

'Um......'

'Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?'

Ye Ge stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

......

The news quickly spread throughout the southern region.

After all, Lan Mi is one of the top ten experts in the empire and the strongest archmage among humans. Her sudden acceptance of a personal student is already a hot topic.

However, this personally taught student is actually the young master of the Ye family, Ye Ge!

This almost caused the topic to explode!

"What exactly does this 'blue exaggeration' mean?"

Duke Wang En's face was as gloomy as a sky covered with dark clouds, devoid of any sunlight.

Preventing the demonized mutant families from receiving too many resources and controlling their growth to prevent them from developing too smoothly has been an unwritten rule of the empire for hundreds of years!

No one took the initiative to break it!

He even sent someone to remind Lan Mi about this matter.

This woman is absolutely outrageous!

Not only did they take a little demon seed into the inner circle of the War Academy, but they even made him their personal disciple!

Behind him, a trusted subordinate respectfully asked, "Your Grace, should we report this matter to the Empire?"

Wang En scoffed, "Hmph, do you think the higher-ups wouldn't have heard about something this big?"

The trusted subordinate said, "...That's true."

Wang En paused, then said expressionlessly, "But it's alright, we'll still report it as usual, and while we're at it, we'll also subtly inform the royal family about the seriousness of this matter!"

Wang En knew very well that although he was one of the four dukes, he had no say in the matter of Lan Mi, that rebellious woman.

Let His Majesty the Emperor personally send someone to confront her and hold her accountable!

"correct."

Wang En pondered for a moment, then said, "I heard that after Xiao Yege participated in the assessment of the secret realm instance, the Black Abyss Secret Realm suddenly closed?"

A trusted subordinate: "It seems so."

Wang En thought to himself that although Lan Mi was always rebellious and unruly and loved to have fun, that woman was indeed very powerful and had high standards. She would never look at ordinary students.

The fact that she accepted him as her personal disciple shows that Ye Ge truly possesses extraordinary abilities.

but......

He had also seen Ye Ge's genetic talent report from his entrance physical examination for the War Academy.

Based on the data, although he can indeed be described as exceptionally talented, in a place like the War Academy where geniuses are not lacking, he should at most be rated as a "genius" or "outstanding".

With only two S-level learning abilities—the superpower profession and the archer profession—it's impossible for him to reach the level of being personally taught by Lan Mi.

Could it be that... something happened in the secret realm?

Did that kid receive some kind of special ancient inheritance?

After a long silence, Wang En said in a deep voice, "Send someone to find out exactly what happened inside the Black Abyss Secret Realm dungeon that day, and why Lan Mi wanted to take him as her personal disciple."

"Yes!"

The trusted subordinate responded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something else.

"By the way, Your Grace."

"There's one more thing."

"Your subordinates have already allocated 2 billion yuan."

"But those two top-grade Spirit Gathering Pills have already been sold on the online auction house."

"Oh?" Wang En raised an eyebrow. "Who took the picture?"

“I don’t know,” the trusted subordinate said. “It’s an anonymous, mysterious buyer.”

Wang En pondered deeply.

At a price of two billion, there are quite a few people in the Empire who can afford it.

However, there are very few people who have so much liquid capital and are willing to spend two billion to buy two red pills.

Who could it be...?

......

"asshole!"

Upon receiving the news, Ye Shengxiong was undoubtedly completely devastated.

He smashed the mirror in front of him with a punch. The crisp, sharp sound of the glass shattering echoed as the expensive crystal mirror cracked like a spiderweb, dividing his face, which was twitching slightly with anger, into more than a dozen pieces.

The shattered glass gleamed coldly on the floor, and his hand was cut, blood dripping onto the floor.

He is unwilling!

He is not convinced! !

In his eyes, Ye Ge was nothing more than a mere brat in the Xuan Realm!

Although Ye Ge possesses two S-level professional learning talents, the upper limit of his superpowers and archery professions is nowhere near as high as the upper limit of his S-level immortal cultivation profession.

Despite sharing the same bloodline of demonized genetic mutations, he was subjected to such differential treatment, which infuriated him greatly.
