Purposely Made Me Wait for so Long
Purposely Made Me Wait for so Long
Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded.
Luo Shishi pressed her lips against each other and smiled before she turned around and left happily.
For some reason, Chu Liuyue felt a faint coldness wrapping around her. She looked over and realized that this apparent aura of suppression actually came from Luo Yanlin far away.
As if he was shocked about her sensitivity, strangeness flashed across Luo Yanlin's face before he squinted his eyes.
The warning in his eyes was very obvious.
Chu Liuyue understood what he meant, but she felt very confused. Warning… Luo Yanlin warned me for no reason—
Suddenly, an idea popped up in her mind. It's not because of… Luo Shishi, right?!
Upon deeper thought, when I was with Luo Shishi earlier, it might actually cause some misunderstanding… Chu Liuyue's eyelids twitched slightly. This Luo Yanlin is thinking too much, right?
Suddenly, her heart tingled. If even Luo Yanlin thought of this, then Rong Xiu—
She shook her head and suppressed these messy thoughts. Since I have already officially become a Ling Xiao Academy student, the most important thing is to strengthen myself as soon as possible. Besides… There's still Jun Jiuqing!
…
During the past few days, Chu Liuyue indirectly heard that Jun Jiuqing was also considered a famous character in the academy. This was because he was also one of the top few students in the academy a few years ago. His talent was outstanding, and he progressed at a stunning speed.
From the bottom ten, he used three months to reach the top twenty of the Qing Yun Ranking.
This speed was heaven-defying. However, he spent a very short amount of time in the academy, and he left not long later.
He never came back afterward, causing his ranking to drop gradually later. He was currently ranked in the thirties.
However, many still had a deep impression of him. This was because his mentor was a reputable person in the academy—Elder Ke Lan.
There were at least 180 elders in Ling Xiao Academy. Elder Ke Lan wasn't the strongest, but he was still very reputable. This was because he was from the same clan as the current director!
Their mentor was the previous director of Ling Xiao Academy!
Rumors had it that the previous director wanted to choose one out of the two to take over his position.
He had always doted on his small disciple, Ke Lan, more, and everyone thought that he had already made up his mind. However, nobody expected him not to choose Ke Lan in the end and instead choose his eldest disciple, who was the current director.
Everyone partook in heated discussions regarding this. Some said that Ke Lan did something wrong and angered the old director, thus being stripped of his rights. Others said that Ke Lan was set up and was innocently implicated, being forced to give the position of director to someone else.
All in all, nobody could talk about what happened back then clearly. However, it seemed to be peaceful all along between the director and Elder Ke Lan.
But only they themselves know the true situation.
This was also the reason why Elder Ke Lan had a very special status in the academy.
All these years, he only recruited three students. Jun Jiuqing was the third one.
…
Now, Jun Jiuqing doesn't seem to have returned to the academy. Chu Liuyue could only calm herself down temporarily and wait patiently. Since Jun Jiuqing wants to use Chu Ning to threaten me, he definitely won't be overboard.
Seeing it from this perspective, Chu Liuyue could forcefully feel a bit more at ease. Now, I can only improve my cultivation as soon as possible while I search for the truth.
…
"Fourth Brother, why are you looking for me?" asked Luo Shishi when she returned to Luo Yanlin's side.
Luo Yanlin sized her up. "Since when were you so close to that Chu Yue?"
Luo Shishi was dazed, and her face flushed slightly. "No, I just felt that we have some fate since all of us entered the academy on the same day. I thought that it'd be good if we became friends…"
Luo Yanlin's gaze had some meaning of scrutiny, but seeing that his own sister seemed rather nervous, he couldn't bear to push her too hard. He could only curtly nod. "Mm, that kid is pretty talented as a heavenly doctor, so you can be his friend. But since you've already come to the academy, you should focus on cultivation. Breaking through to become a stage-nine warrior is just the start for you. You need to get onto the Qing Yun Ranking so as not to hurt the Luo family's reputation."
Luo Shishi looked much more serious. "You're right, Fourth Brother. I'll remember it."
"Great. Go back and cultivate diligently."
"Yes!"
…
The bustling assessment at the beginning of the month finally ended in the evening. All the new students that passed had their own belonging, and most of them were filled with excitement and expectancy toward their new academic life.
Other than the Armory Refinement Master list that didn't change much, the remaining three lists all changed slightly for the Qing Yun Ranking.
Some went up the ranks, while others went down. Some were elated, while others felt regret.
However, these things had nothing much to do with Chu Liuyue.
After being dismissed, Chu Liuyue and Elder Wan Zheng agreed to formally start her learning the next day. Then, she left Qing Ming Square and went back to her own residence.
Inside the room, Chu Liuyue sat down cross-legged and was deep in thought.
"Ancestor, what do you think is wrong with that Huanshen Pearl?" muttered Chu Liuyue in confusion. To say that I don't have talent, but the lightning clearly came out. To say that I have… That thing went back in again after coming out for a while?!
Shangguan Jing kept quiet for a moment before slowly replying, "Probably because you're too fierce?"
Chu Liuyue: "Am I?"
Shangguan Jing: "Hah."
Am I the one who forcefully grabbed those lightning bolts back then?
Chu Liuyue: "…Ahem."
That was a special situation. Who would've thought that these lightning bolts would behave like this?
"If you are more discreet, it might be better," Shangguan Jing thought for a while and said, "but you don't have much hope."
You can't hide some things.
"You should just give up."
Chu Liuyue was speechless. Originally, I did want to learn how to produce legendary weapons…
After thinking for half a day and not understanding it, Chu Liuyue swiftly gave up. I won't produce then! I'll think about it after I complete Elder Wan Zheng's goal of getting onto the heavenly doctor list!
Chu Liuyue retracted her thoughts and started to focus on her cultivation.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Force kept entering her body continuously as they gradually formed an energy vortex above her head.
Ever since she broke through to become a stage-seven warrior and recovered her Tianjing Yuan meridian, Chu Liuyue absorbed force at an even faster speed than before. Cultivation was naturally much faster and more convenient than before.
Time trickled past, and the sky quickly darkened.
The moon was high in the sky. At some point, a tall and big figure gradually closed in.
Chu Liuyue instantly widened her eyes and hurled out a punch!
Bam!
A warm and thick palm quickly and accurately grabbed her hand.
A familiar cold fragrance overwhelmed her—it instantly rejuvenated her body.
Rong Xiu came over.
"You purposely let me wait this long, hm?" His low and magnetic voice sounded very seductive in the quiet night, tickling one's heart.
