Chapter 1327: Test
The people in the room all looked at Chu Liuyue, clearly waiting for her to give them an answer.
Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment before saying, “Actually, I lied to you earlier. I said the wooden plaque was fake because I actually wanted to look for that person. But after I went back, I realized that he was already gone. I followed him all the way and went out of Fangzhou City.”
Other than the elders present, Zhuo Sheng and Luo Yanming were taken aback. “You went out of the city?”
Chu Liuyue nodded. “Back then, I just thought of chasing him, so I didn’t think too much about it.”
Meeting the few people’s shocked and doubtful gazes, Chu Liuyue explained, “I already knew him beforehand, and… We had some conflicts between us. After meeting him this time, I wanted to go teach him a lesson, but I felt that this was a private matter and that it wouldn’t be good for me to get you guys involved. Thus, I thought of a reason to lie to you.”
Zhuo Sheng then looked more normal. So they are old enemies. No wonder Chu Yue cared about him so much. Chu Yue’s explanation does make sense. Though we are his friends, it is normal if he doesn’t want other people to intervene in his private matters.
“But Chu Yue, this was too dangerous. If that man was a lot stronger than you, or he had other people hiding around to ambush you, then—” Luo Yanming seemed to disapprove of it greatly.
“Exactly! You mustn’t do this again in the future! The two of us still thought that something happened—” Zhuo Sheng had spoken halfway when he hurriedly stopped himself and almost bit his tongue. “Now that you’re back, what about that guy then?”
Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly. “We fought one round, and he ran away, so I came back.”
Seeing that Chu Liuyue was fine, the few of them believed her words and didn’t ask further.
…
After a few reminders from the elders, they finally decided to let them go back to the academy first.
After this incident, Zhuo Sheng and Luo Yanming weren’t in much of a mood to continue staying around, so they agreed with the elders’ suggestion. Chu Liuyue naturally had no opinions.
Hence, after resting here for a night, Chu Liuyue’s group of three returned to Ling Xiao Academy the next morning.
However, n.o.body knew about what happened outside the city. Everything pa.s.sed by calmly.
…
After returning to the academy, Chu Liuyue went back to Jiuheng Peak alone.
Rong Xiu still hadn’t returned yet. The weird thing was that Dugu Mobao hadn’t shown up either.
Looking at the empty room, Chu Liuyue slowly knitted her brows. According to Dugu Mobao’s personality, he definitely won’t sit around and do nothing if he knew about what happened in Fangzhou City. However, he still hasn’t appeared.
Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but suspect that he had actually already left Ling Xiao Academy.
Thinking of the news about the so-called Heavenly Square Cauldron descending at the Flood-Desert Northern Region, Chu Liuyue vaguely felt that something was about to happen. Hence, after much thought, she still decided to make a trip to the Flood-Desert Northern Region.
Even though that place was very dangerous, she still had quite a few trump cards and could protect herself. Besides, the real Heavenly Square Cauldron was with her.
If something really happened to Elder Bo Yan and the rest… she might be able to help them a little.
Of course, she hoped that such a situation would never happen.
However, these were just her thoughts. It was actually very difficult for her to actually execute it. This was because none of the elders in the academy would agree to let her go over on her own.
Ling Xiao Academy had a transportation formation that directly led to the Flood-Desert Northern Region. But if one wanted to activate this transportation formation, they needed many elders to work together.
Just with Chu Liuyue’s current strength alone, it was definitely impossible.
Chu Liuyue also didn’t have much hope in secretly going over, especially when there were people standing guard by the side of the transportation formation.
After thinking for a long while in the house, Chu Liuyue still couldn’t think of anything useful. Thus, she decided to go to the transportation formation and take a look around.
…
This special transportation formation was in the Xuan Master region.
Chu Liuyue first went to look for Elder Hua Feng.
Seeing Chu Liuyue come over, Elder Hua Feng was very surprised. “Kid, why did you have the time to come over today?”
He looked at Chu Liuyue and was filled with expectations. “Did you think it through and decide to cultivate as a Xuan Master?”
Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. It has already been so long, but Elder Hua Feng is still harping on the issue.
Suddenly, her heart flickered as she swallowed the words that were about to escape from her mouth. She then smiled brightly and nodded. “Yeah! Didn’t you previously keep saying that you wanted me to come over and take a look? These two days are a holiday for the academy, and everyone has gone out. I had nothing to do, so I thought of coming over to ask for your guidance.”
This time, Elder Hua Feng was over the moon. “Really?”
Chu Liuyue blinked. “Of course. If not, why would I come here to look for you? Do you agree?”
Elder Hua Feng stroked his beard and chuckled. Does this kid finally have a conscience? Or is it because of that red-gold heavenly phoenix—he wanted to confirm if I had abided by our agreement and kept it a secret?
Thinking of this, Elder Hua Feng gave Chu Liuyue a look. “Heh, don’t worry! I will definitely do as I said!”
Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment before she reacted and realized what he was talking about. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Elder Hua Feng, you’ve misunderstood. I really came here to seek your guidance today. I had a Xuan formation that I couldn’t solve recently, so I was wondering if you would be able to give me some advice.”
Hearing her say this, Elder Hua Feng instantly felt happier. “Great, great! Since you’re here today, I’ll teach you properly!”
If I perform well, perhaps this kid might be willing to learn and cultivate with me?
Chu Liuyue raised her hand and quickly drew a ninth-grade Xuan formation. “It’s this. Kindly take a look.”
A ninth-grade Xuan formation was a token to Elder Hua Feng.
He very quickly identified a few minor errors in the Xuan formation Chu Liuyue drew, but he still admired Chu Liuyue in his heart. He could draw out a ninth-grade Xuan formation so easily… He’s only sixteen years old!
“Chu Yue, it’s really a pity if you don’t become a Xuan Master with your talent!” Elder Hua Feng sighed.
As if she suddenly thought of something, Chu Liuyue tried to ask, “Elder Hua Feng, I heard that you have been in charge of maintaining the Xuan formation that directly connects the academy and the Flood-Desert Northern Region for the past few years?”
