BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1181
Chapter 1181: She Hasn’t Come Back
Quite a few people exchanged glances and had various expressions. Jiang Zhiyuan’s previous words… contain too much information! Agreement between the elders, childhood sweethearts?! Doesn’t this mean that… she and Rong Xiu long had a marriage agreement settled by the elders? However, someone stole her love in the end, and it wasn’t fulfilled? Also… the Sky-Cloud Empire’s princess consort is actually someone from outside the realm?
Even though Elder Bo Yan and the rest had long known of the news regarding the Sky-Cloud Empire, it didn’t spread. Thus, quite a few people in the academy didn’t know about it, which was why it was especially shocking now that they suddenly heard it.
Gradually, all sorts of discussions could be heard amidst the crowd.
“Previously, I only heard that the Sky-Cloud Empire’s princess consort has a mysterious background. However, I didn’t expect her to be from outside the realm!”
“Such a person won’t even be worthy of a child from a third-tier country in the God Residence Realm, let alone Senior Brother Rong Xiu, right?”
“Tsk, I really don’t know what Senior Brother Rong Xiu was thinking.„ Did he reject his marriage agreement with Jiang Zhiyuan and marry another woman?”
“There shouldn’t be a marriage agreement between Jiang Zhiyuan and Senior Brother Rong Xiu, right? If there really was one, according to her personality, she should’ve spread the news far and wide…”
“Even if there isn’t, it should be roughly the case. After all, she grew up in the Sky-Cloud Empire from a young age and was raised by their clan leader. He was clearly raising her to be the Sky-Cloud Empire’s future princess consort! But it’s a pity—”
“I’m rather curious about what kind of woman could gain Senior Brother Rong Xiu’s favor.”
The crowd partook in heated discussions.
Chu Liuyue ignored all of them and walked to the fountain. Mm… No matter what, they’re gone and have freed up a huge space.
Tuan Zi flew down, stood on the rock beside the fountain, and lowered its head to drink happily. If it weren’t for so many people being present, it would’ve long stuck its head in!
Chu Liuyue saw how happy Tuan Zi was and also smiled as she turned to look at Liu Yintong.
“Thank you so much, Senior Sister Liu!”
If Liu Yintong wasn ‘t around today, it would be rather tricky.
Her voice caused Liu Yintong to recover her senses and instinctively look up. When Liu Yintong saw the smiling young man standing beside the fountain, her heart harshly sank! On purpose— this Chu Yue… clearly did it on purpose! He must’ve long expected that there would be a fight over this spot next to the fountain, so he purposely made me come with him. I became his tool, and I offended all those people in his place! Even if they want to take revenge in the future, those people will only cause trouble for me! In contrast, Chu Yue… has gained all the benefits and can sleep soundly!
Liu Yintong wanted to explode and scream at the top of her lungs, but she was only left with weak hopelessness in the end.
She could not do so—she had no reasons.
There was never a moment Liu Yintong regretted her actions as much as she currently did. From the very start, I shouldn’t have gone with the gamble or agreed to Chu Yue’s conditions!
However, it’s too late now.
Thinking of Liang Xiaoxiao and the others’ warning before they left, she gradually felt uneasy. One Jiang Zhiyuan is indeed not that difficult to handle, but all of those people… Besides, she still has the Sky-Cloud Empire’s clan leader as her backer…
When Liu Yintong thought of this, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed onto the floor.
“Ah Tong!” Gong Sheng hurriedly helped her up and knitted his brows tightly, his eyes filled with worry. “Ah Tong, I’ll send you back first?”
Liu Yintong nodded with difficulty.
Gong Sheng looked at Chu Liuyue and boomed, “Junior Brother Chu Yue, don’t think that you can completely absolve yourself from the responsibility. If anything happens to Ah Tong in the future, you won’t be able to escape as well!”
Then, he helped Liu Yintong up and left.
Chu Liuyue looked down and glanced at Tuan Zi. “Tuan Zi, for you, I have offended everyone I can. ”
Tuan Zi rapidly looked up, and its eyes sparkled. There seemed to be silver lightning flashing in its eyes.
Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but smile. The effects of this fountain are rather obvious… Tuan Zi is already very strong now. I wonder what it will be like when it completely awakens its bloodline power.
While Tuan Zi was absorbing the strength within the fountain, Chu Liuyue wasn’t idle.
The density of the force on Million Wine Mountain was also very high. Perhaps it was because of the numerous lightning bolts hidden in the fountain, but the force here was faintly different from the outside.
Chu Liuyue swiftly sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate peacefully.
She became increasingly closer to breaking through and becoming an intermediate stage-seven warrior. She could even feel the invisible barrier as if she just had to exert some force to break it!
Chu Liuyue was waiting for that opportunity.
Seeing how calm and composed Chu Liuyue was, the other people on the mountain found it increasingly weird. Speaking of today, the source of the problem is still him, Chu Yue. Liu Yintong and Jiang Zhiyuan have completely fallen apart and ended on such a bad note, but he acted as ifnothing had happened. Not only did he let his legendary fiend drink the fountain water, but he has even started cultivating himself!
What confidence does he have to be so nonchalant and calm? He probably has a backer, but we’ve never heard about it before. His mental capacity might be too strong, but this has been proven countless times since he entered the academy.
Some people originally wanted to go up and greet him, but they decided not to do so after thinking of tonight’s incident. Offending one Liu Yintong wasn ‘t enough, and there is another
Jiang Zhiyuan now. Even though the two of them fell apart, Chu Yue will most likely be implicated when Jiang Zhiyuan calms down and thinks about it. After much thinking, most people still chose to avoid all of this.
Million Wine Mountain gradually became quiet.
On the other mountain, Elder Wen Xi was packing the ancient books he had treasured for many years in the room.
There was already a thin layer of dust on the bookshelves—clearly, nobody had touched them in a while.
Elder Wen Xi waved his sleeves and swept away the dust on the books.
Seeing the flying dust, his gaze seemed distant as he muttered to himself, “Nobody has come to read it in secret in a while…” Knock knock!
Knocks were heard at the door.
Elder Wen Xi retracted his thoughts and looked up.
The door opened, and a familiar figure leaned against the door frame.
“Hua Feng? Why are you here again?” Elder Wen Xi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but annoyance still flashed across his face.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Elder Hua Feng holding a bottle of wine.
“If you’re drinking, go back to your own place and drink!” Elder Wen Xi said as he directly chased him out. “Why are you walking around at night?”
Elder Wen Xi went over and was about to close the door when he smelled an intense alcoholic smell.
That was the smell coming from Elder Hua Feng.
Elder Wen Xi knitted his brows in contempt. “Why did you drink so much? I’ll say it first: I don’t collect drunken ghosts—”
“Wen Xi,” said Elder Hua Feng suddenly, without any drunken intent. He slowly exhaled. “Why do you think that troublemaker hasn’t appeared yet?”.
