BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1396
Of course, with Rong Xiu\'s personality, he treated other people in the same way.
Other than going out to train or doing tasks together, they usually only meet during monthly assessments in school.
Ever since Rong Xiu became number one on two of the Qing Yun Ranking lists, he went out even less frequently.
"With Rong Xiu personally taking care of him, that kid won\'t be in trouble," said Luo Yanlin as he took out a jade bottle and stuffed it into his sister\'s hands. "You keep thinking about other things, but you forgot to eat your own medicine?"
His gaze landed on Luo Shishi with deep meaning.
Luo Shishi instantly felt guilty as she hurriedly opened the jade bottle and poured one pill out to eat. "Nothing. I was just wondering… Senior Brother Rong Xiu and Chu Yue seem to have a good relationship… Has he treated anyone like this in the past?"
The Sky-Cloud Empire\'s His Grace was famous for being harsh and cunning. Even in the academy and restrained his aura, others still felt distant from him.
Luo Yanlin stroked his chin. "Actually… you can\'t say that. There used to be someone Rong Xiu treated really—"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused.
"Really what?" Luo Shishi\'s eyes were filled with curiosity. Is there a person in this world who has received better care from Rong Xiu? That is truly unbelievable. Rong Xiu is a natural king and is like an ice mountain that won\'t melt in a thousand years. It is hard for other people to even approach him, let alone anything else. It is really hard to imagine him being nice to someone, so it is jaw-dropping to see him treat Chu Yue in this manner. If there was something even worse, then—
Peng!
Luo Yanlin knocked her again, with even more force this time around.
Luo Shishi hurriedly held her forehead in pain. "Fourth Brother, you—"
"Little girl, there are some things that you can ask, but it\'s better not to know about other things. Do you understand?" Luo Yanlin reminded her with a smile, but his gaze was very serious.
Luo Shishi pouted her lips and muttered, "Okay."
Luo Yanlin glanced at that side and quickly retracted his gaze.
…
Everyone went up the transportation formation and started their return journey.
The crowd gathered in groups and spoke softly. Actually, most of them were talking about the Flood-Desert Northern Region trip.
This was especially so for Elder Bo Yan, Elder Bo Yan, and the other elders—who gathered together and talked in an even more serious manner. After all, they still wanted to find out the mastermind.
This time, Ling Xiao Academy suffered a huge loss. They couldn\'t let this lie.
Only Jiang Zhiyuan was standing in a corner alone. Nobody talked to her, and she looked very lonely.
However, quite a few people were secretly looking over. Most of them were filled with mockery and insults, and they looked like they were watching a commotion.
Jiang Zhiyuan lowered her head. She had to use all the strength in her body to restrain her impulsiveness. This cannot go on… The situation is settled. What\'s awaiting me is probably that worse ending. If I had some backing I could rely on…
Suddenly, her gaze flickered! Right! How did I forget that there\'s still that person?!
…
The way back was boring and dry. Additionally, as everyone was injured, the atmosphere was at a low point. It was completely different from the excitement and agitation they had when they first came.
The waiting time seemed to become especially long. After some time, light finally appeared in front.
Elder Bo Yan yelled out loud, "We\'re about to return to the academy! Everyone, prepare to go out!"
"Yes!" Following this, the elders took action at the same time!
The Xuan formation at the entrance suddenly broke open!
Elder Hua Feng and the others rushed out continuously!
Rong Xiu gazed at the person in his arms.
Chu Liuyue was still in a deep sleep, but compared to the start, her pale face had recovered some of its rosiness. She seemed much better, and her aura seemed to faintly become stronger.
Rong Xiu tightened his hands slightly and went on his toes before he flew out!
…
"Hua Feng, you\'re back!" The few elders—who had been waiting for a very long time around the transportation formation—were immediately energized! Only the heavens knew how hard they waited during this time!
But very quickly, they realized that something was amiss.
The people who came out behind Elder Bo Yan and the others had scars on their bodies. They seemed like they had experienced quite a big ordeal.
"W-what happened to you guys?!" The few elders exchanged glances and vaguely felt uneasy.
Elder Hua Feng shook his head. "This is a long story. Send the students back first and let them recuperate properly. We can talk about the rest later."
Seeing that his gaze was stern for once, the few elders didn\'t dare to be slow as they hurriedly took action.
The students with lighter injuries heeded the instructions and went back on their own. Those in more serious conditions were sent back by the elders.
The more they saw, the more frightened they were. Didn\'t they say that the Heavenly Square Cauldron appeared and that Elder Hua Feng and the others were only here to support them? How did this happen?
Anyone could tell that the situation was much worse than expected.
"Rong Xiu?!" When that tall and slim figure appeared, the few elders were stunned. Since when did he come here? And what\'s more shocking is that he is carrying someone in his arms!
"Chu Yue?!" An elder standing nearby had sharp eyes and recognized that person. As it was too incredulous, even his tone changed.
Rong Xiu nodded to gesture toward the elders and kept walking forward. "I\'ll bring him back to rest."
"Huh? Oh! Oh, okay!"
Without waiting for the crowd to react, Rong Xiu had already rapidly left with her.
"Hey! Rong Xiu, wait for me!" Elder Wan Zheng hurriedly followed them in an anxious manner.
After their figures disappeared behind the rising mountains, the crowd left behind was dazed.
After a while, someone stammered and asked, "W-what exactly is going on?!"
Elder Bo Yan laughed bitterly. It\'d be great if I knew. Also, I don\'t really want to make sure of it. There… must be something wrong here!
"Rong Xiu always knows what he\'s doing; we don\'t have to care about him. Let\'s clean up this mess first!"
Hearing Elder Bo Yan\'s words, the crowd couldn\'t ask further and acknowledged his order in unison. "Yes!"
…
Rong Xiu directly brought Chu Liuyue back to his residence. Entering the room, he meticulously placed her down.
Elder Wan Zheng followed hurriedly from behind. "Rong Xiu, how is Chu Yue?"
Rong Xiu covered Chu Liuyue with a blanket, and his fingers gently caressed her soft hands before he placed her hands underneath the blanket.
This action was extremely light. Additionally, his back was facing Elder Wan Zheng—who was standing behind—so the latter didn\'t notice it.
When Elder Wan Zheng walked over, Rong Xiu straightened his body and placed a hand on Chu Liuyue\'s forehead. "The fever seems to have subsided, but I don\'t know when she will wake up."
