Chu Liuyue was dazed, and warmth filled her heart. Then, she nodded slightly.
That night, Rong Xiu finally could keep his blanket and lay on the bed. The two of them hugged each other and slept.
…
The next morning, Rong Xiu went on his way and conveniently left Yu Mo to specifically take care of Chu Liuyue.
The moment he left, a few venerables requested to see her afterward.
Chu Liuyue told Yu Mo to reject all of them and announced to the public that she was going into seclusion.
As the princess consort, Chu Liuyue currently stayed at Jishen Palace. Other than the clan leader and His Grace, nobody else could casually come up to this place.
Of course, Chu Liuyue could now do so as well. Hence, these venerables couldn't see her no matter what as long as she refused.
Thus, Chu Liuyue stayed in her bedroom and started her 'seclusion,' while Yu Mo waited outside patiently.
…
It was an extremely troublesome matter to leave the Sky-Cloud Empire silently. This was because one had to pass through the transportation formations that connected to the outside world if they wanted to leave this place.
However, this didn't matter to Chu Liuyue. This was because she had the Holy Ring! Hence, she could easily open the transportation formation specifically used in Jishen Palace!
Additionally, she told Dugu Mobao to help her leave her aura behind, which was inserted into a puppet that would be disguised as her.
With the barrier in the way, as long as Yu Mo didn't barge in on his own, nobody would discover it. Even if he did notice something was amiss, Chu Liuyue would be far away by then.
Hence, Chu Liuyue silently left the Sky-Cloud Empire and went toward Ling Xiao Academy!
…
Ling Xiao Academy was very far away from the Sky-Cloud Empire. Additionally, as Chu Liuyue didn't dare to directly use the transportation formation from Sky-Cloud Empire to go over, she purposely took a longer route in the middle and wasted even more time.
But luckily, with Dugu Mobao around, their journey was rather smooth.
After spending five days in such a manner, Chu Liuyue and Dugu Mobao finally reached Fangzhou.
Fangzhou was the nearest city to Ling Xiao Academy. Everyone who wanted to enter Ling Xiao Academy had to pass by here.
After exiting the transportation formation, Chu Liuyue sighed deeply and looked at the city not far away. "Fangzhou… really lives up to its name!"
Below the blueish-purple sky, an ancient city sat on the vast ground. The gigantic grayish-white stones were huge and oppressive!
Behind it was a huge silver curtain. Rumors had it that Ling Xiao Academy was right behind it!
"There's a barrier formed by holy force outside Ling Xiao Academy. Anyone who wants to enter must obtain the pass at Fangzhou," explained Dugu Mobao.
Chu Liuyue nodded.
At this point, the duo had already meticulously disguised themselves.
Chu Liuyue was wearing a long, watercolor-blue sleeved shirt with a white pendant around her waist. She wore a crown and stood upright, looking very handsome.
At first glance, she looked like she was the young master from an aristocratic family.
She wasn't ostentatious, but she wouldn't be looked down upon either.
At the side, Dugu Mobao had already changed into black hair and black eyes that looked like hers. His appearance was rather different from before—from absolutely adorable and cute, he became a normal kind of cute.
In the past, his face could stimulate all the females' motherly love when he walked on the road. But now, he seemed to mind this matter very much, so he purposely disguised himself.
Other than his gaze that was as cold and nonchalant as usual, he was completely different from before! As long as people who met him didn't take a closer look, they wouldn't be able to spot any abnormalities.
"Pass…" muttered Chu Liuyue.
Before she came, Dugu Mobao had already brought this up.
Ling Xiao Academy was highly guarded, and anyone going in and out of the place had to have a pass.
There were only two ways to obtain the pass. One, they had to be related to someone inside the academy. Two, they had to find the Ling Xiao Academy teachers stationed at Fangzhou and pass their test to become part of the academy.
The first method was relatively simpler, but it also had a disadvantage: their entry time was limited.
Chu Liuyue couldn't expose her identity, so she naturally chose the second method.
Ling Xiao Academy didn't recruit students at a fixed time. As long as one was outstanding enough, they could come whenever they wanted. Hence, within the God Residence Realm, there would be people rushing over from all walks of life almost every day, trying their best to enter Ling Xiao Academy.
Some of them directly stayed at Fangzhou and kept trying as they cultivated. This was also one of the reasons why Fangzhou was so lively. However, only a few of them could succeed in the end.
"Let's go!" Chu Liuyue took a deep breath.
However, Dugu Mobao shook his head. "After we enter Fangzhou, I won't be traveling with you."
Chu Liuyue was dazed.
Dugu Mobao paused and explained for once when he saw her confused expression. "I have a few people I know here. I'll go meet them and wait for you in Ling Xiao Academy afterward."
Chu Liuyue widened her eyes. At this point, she suddenly realized that she had missed out on something the entire time. "…So you can actually enter and leave Ling Xiao Academy directly?!"
Dugu Mobao raised his brows. "Is that very strange?"
His tone was too righteous with a nonchalant arrogance, which caused Chu Liuyue to doubt herself.
After some careful thinking, Chu Liuyue felt that her questions didn't have much meaning. Dugu Mobao was very formidable, so it was nothing surprising that he could do this.
She coughed. "N-not at all…"
"Don't let me wait for too long." After throwing this sentence behind, the air vibrated, and Dugu Mobao flashed across, directly disappearing before Chu Liuyue's eyes.
Chu Liuyue was speechless. How decisive…
Chu Liuyue surveyed the surroundings.
Actually, there were at least ten transportation formations here. But luckily, they were in rather quiet corners without many people around, so nobody noticed them.
She focused her gaze and walked forward!
…
The further she walked, the more Chu Liuyue discovered that Fangzhou was different from other ordinary cities.
There was nobody guarding the entrance at all. There wasn't even a door!
Grayish-white stones gathered and formed walls at the side with a big and spacious hole in the middle. There was consistent damage at the side as if someone had used a sword to chop at it. It seemed like it was very… casual.
Many people came to and fro this area. To be more accurate, most of them were entering, and only a small number of them were leaving.
Also, most people who were entering the area had faces filled with excitement and expectancy.
Those leaving mostly had faces of despair and disappointment, and their eyes were filled with unconcealable regret. It was obvious that these people were cultivators that had given up enrolling into Ling Xiao Academy.
Chu Liuyue walked in.
But the moment she raised her leg and entered the hole, a strange sensation suddenly traveled out of the water droplet in her body!
A strangely familiar feeling overwhelmed her!
