Chapter 1191 - Senior Brother Rong Xiu
Chapter 1191: Senior Brother Rong Xiu
In Ling Xiao Academy, many elders gradually gathered together and rushed to Fangzhou.
The entire academy’s atmosphere silently became nervous.
When Chu Liuyue rushed to the academy entrance, she saw that many students had arrived around Qing Ming Square. Clearly, they already knew that something had happened outside.
Chu Liuyue slowed down her steps and mixed into the crowd, not looking obvious.
Quite a few students talked in hushed whispers. “Did you hear? Something wrong has happened outside!”
“It seems like someone came to cause trouble at Fangzhou, right? I heard that Elder Shu Feng and the rest are still fighting with them outside, and some of the elders from our academy have rushed out…”
“Who exactly are they? How do they have the courage to barge into our academy?”
“They seem to be from the Golden Wings Sect. They’ve never really had many interactions with our academy and are extremely arrogant just because they’re powerful. This time, it seems to be because they’re fighting for something… Other than that, they still collaborated with other clans.”
“Even if they want to fight for something, there is no need to chase all the way here, right? Isn’t this causing trouble for themselves? Do they really think that our academy can be easily stepped on?!”
“It seems to be for some precious treasure. Previously, Senior Brother Rong Xiu and the rest came back just to help the academy retrieve that item… Just now, I unintentionally heard an elder say that Senior Brother Rong Xiu is surrounded because of that item… I wonder what’s happening now…”
“This… It’s right outside our academy after all. We can’t possibly let them succeed, right?”
…
All sorts of discussions entered Chu Liuyue’s ears, causing her to be increasingly frustrated as she furrowed her brows tightly. It turns out that the letter Ling Xiao Academy previously sent to Rong Xiu was about this. Rong Xiu didn’t bring it up the whole time, so I didn’t ask about it in detail.
So many people took action at the same time after all, with quite a few elders from the academy. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be much danger. But now… Rong Xiu has clearly put himself in a perilous situation.

She panicked in her heart, but she could only comfort herself. After all, they had already arrived at Fangzhou City, which was right beside the academy. Even if they really met with trouble, many elders in the academy could provide assistance.
Elder Hua Feng and the others have already rushed over. They should be able to reach in time.
More and more students gathered around, and the originally silent Qing Ming Square became noisy.
Chu Liuyue silently walked over as she thought of how to go out quietly to take a look.
Even if the academy’s barriers were guarded strictly, she couldn’t help but be worried as she knew that Rong Xiu was in danger.
“Chu Yue!” A familiar voice sounded from the side.
Chu Liuyue knitted her brows and stood still. When she looked up, her expression returned to normal. “Zhuo Sheng, Shishi, why are you here?”
Other than these two, there was still Luo Yanming.
The three of them cultivated different aspects, so it was usually hard to see them all at once.
Zhuo Sheng winked. “Why do you think we’re here? Of course, it’s for the same reason as you!”
Luo Shishi patiently explained, “I was originally training with my mentor, but something happened suddenly, and he left. Thus, we came here. Then, we coincidentally met Fifth Brother.”
The mentor she was talking about was Elder Wen Xi.
Chu Liuyue nodded. “I was also producing pills just now when Elder Hua Feng came over and called my mentor. They then left together.”
Actually, many students experienced similar situations. Hence, Luo Shishi’s trio didn’t think much when Chu Liuyue gave such an explanation.
“Did you hear what those people said earlier?” asked Zhuo Sheng mysteriously. “Are they crazy?! They dared to chase all the way to Fangzhou to fight for the item!”
Luo Yanming, who was silent all along, suddenly spoke. “The Golden Wings Sect is extremely strong. Even though they’re a top-tier family as well, the cultivation technique they pass down in their sect is extremely domineering. Within the sect… From the sect master to the disciples, all of them are formidable. Hence, their behavior is extremely arrogant. It’s not surprising they would do such a thing.”
People die because of fortune, and birds die because of food.
An item that could get Ling Xiao Academy to send out so many students and elders mustn’t be something ordinary, and it would definitely cause other people to be jealous. Besides, the other party seemed to have collaborated with other clans, so they were even more fearless.
“They could just settle them as soon as possible, but leaving them around for a while longer doesn’t pose much of a problem as well.”
Zhuo Sheng glanced at him strangely. “Yanming, why do you know so much?”
Luo Yanming fell silent. “…Mentor said a thing or two before he left.”
Elder Hua Feng had a very loud personality and was very shocked after he learned of the news, so he didn’t care to keep his mouth shut. While he was speaking, Luo Yanming and the others—who were beside him—roughly heard what was going on.
The few of them were speechless.
Recalling the previous scenario, Chu Liuyue silently mourned for her ninth-grade pill that could’ve succeeded.
“Elder Hua Feng is indeed fiery sometimes…”
Dong—
A low clock sound was heard—it came from Dong Huang Clock Tower!
The square quickly fell silent, and the crowd looked up in unison.
Elder Bo Yan stood on the tower with one hand behind his back. His hair was white, and he looked calm. “A small incident happened outside the academy, but it’ll be settled as soon as possible. Everyone, go back and don’t worry. Just cultivate.”
His deep voice reverberated throughout the area as it gently and clearly landed in everyone’s ears, causing people to unwittingly be more secure.
Some students were originally still worried and uneasy, but they gradually calmed down when they heard Elder Bo Yan’s words.
Actually, upon deeper thought, this is still Ling Xiao Academy’s territory. Can others really come here and do whatever they want? The elders are very experienced, so they naturally can handle all these problems.
However, a woman’s voice sounded amongst the crowd. “Elder Bo Yan, as a member of the academy, the academy’s safety is closely related to all of us. Hence, I, Zhiyuan, volunteer to go out and fight!”
This voice was especially sudden in the silent crowd, so everyone heard it clearly.
Countless pairs of eyes looked toward the source of the voice.
It was Jiang Zhiyuan, who was standing behind the crowd!
At this point, Liang Xiaoxiao and the rest were standing behind her. But as Jiang Zhiyuan was the one who spoke, everyone’s attention fell on her.
Elder Bo Yan laughed. “I’ve already said just now that it’s only a small problem. We’ve already sent a few elders to handle it together. You don’t have to worry and should just stay in the academy.”
Jiang Zhiyuan pressed her lips against each other and looked obviously worried. “But Senior Brother Rong Xiu…”
Chu Liuyue raised her brows. I, the legitimate princess consort, haven’t spoken, yet Jiang Zhiyuan is so enthusiastic. I really don’t know if I should compliment her for not giving up on him in times of trouble or that she is extremely stubborn.
To some people, perhaps Jiang Zhiyuan’s behavior was devotion. But to Elder Bo Yan, she behaved as if she didn’t know the importance of the matter.
His expression turned faint, and he asked nonchalantly, “Are you doubting Rong Xiu’s capabilities or the abilities of the academy’s elders?”
