Arrogant and preposterous, yet it was so domineering that one couldn’t say anything!

During the previous stalemate with the crowd, Elder Bo Yan realized how highly Rong Xiu thought of Chu Yue. Hence, he wasn’t surprised when he said that.

However, the others present were all taken aback until they were dizzy. He indulged… He indulged?! The other party isn’t one or two factions, but an entire group of them! Rong Xiu is actually willing to take such a big risk for Chu Yue… These two people indeed have an extraordinary relationship! 

As these two people hadn’t formally explained it, everyone could only guess on their own.

Originally, they didn’t quite believe it. However, it seemed like they were true biological brothers!

The crowd gasped in shock and finally had an understanding of the various situations earlier. No wonder… Rong Xiu has taken special care of him ever since he came. Now, he is no longer hiding it. 

However, this was still a matter between Rong Xiu and Chu Yue, so others couldn’t say much. Besides, with Rong Xiu’s help, the academy could be relieved of some of the pressure.

Elder Bo Yan surveyed the surroundings. “Since this is so, we’ll settle it like this! Hua Feng, send the invitations immediately. Three days later…”

Speaking of this, Elder Bo Yan paused and was rather hesitant. It is fine to invite the people over, and three days is definitely enough time. After all, that group of people wants to appear here immediately. However, the key is where the venue should be. If the venue is outside, Ling Xiao Academy will definitely be disadvantaged as it will be the minority against the majority. 

But if it were the academy… If the incident spreads, it would have a huge influence on Chu Yue’s reputation. How would the people in the academy look at him then? At that time, if some accident happens, Chu Yue will definitely be ostracized and become the target of countless people’s revenge. 

Chu Liuyue looked up, and her gaze lightly swept across Elder Bo Yan, who had a conflicted expression. She naturally knew what Elder Bo Yan was worried about, so she smiled slightly and said, “Elder, let’s set it at Fangzhou City.”

That place was near the academy, but it wasn’t considered as actually barging into the academy.

They could defend and also attack. It was the most suitable place for the academy.

“Are… you sure?” Elder Bo Yan was rather hesitant.

Chu Liuyue nodded. “It has been hard on you and the elders. This time, I’ll definitely solve all of these problems!”

…

The elders went their own ways and started to prepare for the meeting three days later.

This incident might be another hard battle. Hence, no matter what, they had to make full preparations and couldn’t be lacking in anything at all.

Finally, only a few people were left in the room.

Chu Liuyue bowed toward Elder Bo Yan again. “Elder, I’m very grateful that you’re willing to help.”

The entire academy had to be risked just because of her life or death. She knew that it wasn’t an easy task.

“Don’t worry. You’re innocent, so you just have to make things clear then! It’s not good to drag these troubles, so you must take this chance and settle everything!” Elder Bo Yan smiled. I’m also sick of these people’s intrusions. This time, we definitely have to give them a few tight slaps! Let’s see if they dare to be this arrogant in the future! 

Chu Liuyue’s gaze flickered slightly. “You’re right.”

“Actually, you still have to thank Rong Xiu for this. If it weren’t for him… the other elders wouldn’t be so easy-going. Of course, your situation will also be much better than expected at that time. As long as they don’t have any evidence, those people wouldn’t dare to do anything to you,” said Elder Bo Yan with a smile.

“And… Among all those aristocratic families, not all of them want to cause trouble for you. Some of them are standing on our side, like the Flying Star Sect.”

Chu Liuyue suddenly realized it, and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. Among them, Shi Rui’er must’ve eased the tension quite a bit. I could be considered to have saved Shi Rui’er’s life, but I never expected the other party to return the favor. I didn’t expect Shi Rui’er to mind this matter so much. With the current situation, she must’ve spent a lot of effort convincing Flying Star Sect to stand on our side… This is definitely not an easy matter. 

“So you don’t have to be too worried either. At that time, just say whatever you have to say!” Elder Bo Yan was much more confident. “Let’s see who dares to accuse you!”

Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. Oh yeah. Could they tear me apart and check me bit by bit? I want to see how big this commotion will be! 

…

Ling Xiao Academy’s invitations were sent out very quickly.

The families that were originally wavering were dazed when they received the news and later excited. Ling Xiao Academy actually did this! They are so daring. How much confidence do they have?! However, all of this doesn’t matter. What is important is that the center of everyone’s attention, Chu Yue, will meet everyone head-on this time! 

Black Demon Hole, the Flood-Desert Northern Region, and… the Heavenly Square Cauldron! All the mysteries will be solved one by one. In no time, the entire God Residence Realm will be taken by the storm! 

…

“What? Ling Xiao Academy is gathering all of them at Fangzhou City?”

Tongshen Palace.

Baili Chun looked at the message he had just received in his hands and didn’t dare to believe his eyes. “What exactly is Ling Xiao Academy doing?!”

All these years, the aristocratic families didn’t have close relations with each other, and they all maintained a peculiar balance. Today, Ling Xiao Academy actually wanted to take the initiative to break this balance!

Even if they had a deep foundation, this was too daring!

Respected Elder Yu Jing stood below respectfully. “Clan Leader, you might not know, but recently, there have been many rumors about Chu Yue in the God Residence Realm. Ling Xiao Academy must’ve been forced to the corner to do this, right?”

Baili Chun knitted his brows. “Chu Yue? Who?”

At the side, Jiang Zhiyuan—who was pouring tea—glanced up slightly and felt jealous. The academy expelled me, but it could do so much for Chu Yue the next minute! The difference in treatment is outrageous! 

She suppressed the jealousy and anger in her heart and lightly said, “Chu Yue is a new student that just came to the academy a few months ago, and he’s quite talented. Also… he seems to be on pretty good terms with Brother Rong Xiu.”

This sentence immediately attracted Baili Chun’s attention. “Oh? What do you mean by ‘pretty good?'”

Hasn’t Rong Xiu always been alone in the academy? 

Jiang Zhiyuan bit her lips. “He… Brother Rong Xiu personally brought him around to cultivate, and they live on Jiuheng Peak together. It’s really… He really takes good care of him. The last time Chu Yue made a mistake, Brother Rong Xiu was the one who put in a good word for him—”

Slap!

Baili Chun slammed the cup down harshly, and it let out a low sound!
