Chapter 1176: You’re Too Weak!
Chu Liuyue originally wanted to say that she had a great time there and wanted to go again, but her last bit of rationality made her swallow her words.
She hung her head down slightly. “I made a mistake, and I should be punished.”
Seeing her in this state, Elder Wan Zheng couldn’t bear to scold her further. “Since this matter has already come to an end, I won’t pursue it anymore. Million Wine Mountain isn’t a place where students can casually go. You mustn’t do this in the future anymore, do you understand?”
Chu Liuyue acknowledged his words obediently. “Thank you for your teachings, Mentor.”
Elder Wan Zheng nodded in satisfaction. “Okay. Go back and study the formulas in this book first. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just come and ask me.”
He instructed Chu Liuyue a while longer before letting her leave.
…
What identity does Big Baby exactly have? Chu Liuyue kept thinking about this on her way back. Seeing Elder Wan Zheng’s attitude, Big Baby should have quite a high status. That is true. After all, a legendary warrior that has forged their holy body should be a pretty formidable existence even in the entire Ling Xiao Academy, right? When I see Big Baby next, I should really ask him about this properly…
She quickly returned to her residence.
Zhong Xun was already waiting in front of the door. When he saw her return, he looked elated. “Junior Brother Chu Yue, how are you? Elder Wan Zheng… didn’t do anything to you, right?”
Chu Liuyue smiled. “That’s my mentor, so he naturally won’t do anything to me. Senior Brother Zhong Xun, you worry too much.”
Zhong Xun scratched his head in embarrassment. “I-I was just anxious… After all, when Elder Wan Zheng left with you earlier, he really didn’t look good…”
That didn’t seem like a good thing.
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment before saying, “With a disciple that got into trouble the moment he came, it’s inevitable that my mentor’s head would ache.”
Zhong Xun couldn’t refute this. Even I have to admit that Chu Yue is such a troublemaker! He has just come to the academy, but he has already caused a lot of commotion.
“You know it too? Anyway, your name has been spread far and wide in the academy! Quite a few people are waiting to see how things will end between you and Liu Yintong!”
Chu Liuyue smiled slightly and walked to her own yard. “What’s there to see?”
“She bullied you in that manner. Do you really plan to let this go?” Zhong Xun found it weird. “I thought you purposely told her to accompany you to Million Wine Mountain for a month continuously—”
“I did do it on purpose, but it wasn’t to take revenge.” Chu Liuyue looked nonchalant. “Her position on the Qing Yun Ranking is in the forties, but there are many people who want to go to Million Wine Mountain, including those who are as good or even stronger than her. Even if I bring her black jade plaque and go there, some people might not give her face. At that time, what should I do? I don’t want to offend more people, so bringing her along is the most appropriate method.”
I can take revenge and properly kill her aura, and I can also hide behind her when there are any sudden happenings… Why not?
Zhong Xun’s gaze suddenly changed, and he slowly raised his thumb. “You’re… harsh!
After today’s incident, everyone thinks that Chu Yue did it to take revenge against Liu Yintong. But actually, Chu Yue did it to go to Million Wine Mountain! From start to end, her target was never Liu Yintong!
“But no matter what, Liu Yintong is quite a capable talent on the Qing Yun Ranking. I’ve heard that she has been diligently training a warrior technique and wants to break through. If she really does it… She might actually be able to get into the top forty! At that point…”
Chu Liuyue stood still, tilted her head, and asked with much interest, “Is it… that amazing to be in the top forty?”
Zhong Xun was dazed for a moment. Seeing that young man’s nonchalant appearance, his heart tingled, and he instinctively thought the other party compared Liu Yintong and Luo Yanlin.
“Top forty… is pretty amazing… Of course, compared to someone like Luo Yanlin, she’s still lacking. But… Chu Yue, you also know that you should depend on yourself rather than others, right?”
Luo Yanlin can help once, but he can’t help every time, right?
Chu Liuyue had one hand on the door and was about to push it open when she stopped in her movements. She then turned around and said seriously, “Thank you, Senior Brother Zhong Xun.”
Zhong Xun relaxed a little and smiled. “Anyway, it’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing. With your talent, you’ll be able to get onto the Qing Yun Ranking sooner or later! In the future, you might even be able to exceed them! Junior Brother, you’ve been busy for so long, so you should rest now. I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Chu Liuyue nodded slightly.
Zhong Xun quickly left.
Chu Liuyue then pushed the door open and entered.
…
She carefully locked the room door properly.
Kada.
“You really haven’t changed your troublemaking nature.” A cold yet cute voice came from behind.
Even though this tone was as cold and stern as it could be, his voice was too cutesy, so it sounded very out of place. It even made one have the urge to go up front, mess up his hair, and squeeze his small face.
Chu Liuyue controlled her smile and turned around.
Inside the room, who else could it be other than Dugu Mobao—whom she had not seen in a while—sitting upright with his back straightened?
He was still wearing his purple robe, and his white and chubby face had no differences from before.
Chu Liuyue’s hand suddenly felt itchy. Then, she met Dugu Mobao’s pair of charismatic and devilish eyes.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Dugu Mobao’s expression gradually became dangerous. A faint coldness exuded from his body at the same time!
“Ahem!” Chu Liuyue hurriedly coughed and went forward. “Big Baby, where did you go all this while? Why did you only come now?”
I was just thinking about him previously, and he appears now. He’s really…
Dugu Mobao sneered. “If you weren’t locked up in Fengmin Mountain, would I have to wait so long for you?”
Chu Liuyue instantly felt guilty. “I didn’t do it on purpose…”
She did not explain further as she somehow felt that Big Baby should know all of this.
As expected, Big Baby didn’t ask further as he knitted his brows. “If you broke through earlier and became stronger, why would you be bullied into this state?! You’re still too weak!”
Chu Liuyue was speechless. I knew his mouth wouldn’t say anything nice! I just met him, yet he talked about this again!
She rubbed her brows and tried to defend herself. “I want to become stronger, but I must have the time to do so first. If not, can I just keep breaking through and directly become a legendary warrior?”
Dugu Mobao glanced at her coldly.
Chu Liuyue: “…I’ll work hard!”
“Good that you know.” Dugu Mobao then let her off. “Since you’ve already come to the academy, you should take the time to cultivate properly.”
Chu Liuyue looked at him and suddenly leaned in closely as she curiously said, “Big Baby, Elder Wan Zheng could tell that I used the fist technique you taught me, and he even asked me about you. You—”
Dugu Mobao’s expression did not change. “You don’t have to care about him.”
