Allow It to Go
Allow It to Go
The fountain was the size of a normal well, and it was surrounded by white translucent mountain rocks. Perhaps it was due to the nourishment of the mountain water or the overly bright moonlight, but the fountain looked especially clear.
From afar, the water kept flowing out of the fountain and moved down, forming a stream down the mountain peak.
Quite a few people were standing in the surroundings. Some of them directly filled their wine cups with alcohol and finished everything in one shot, while others savored it slowly.
Everyone chatted heartily, and the atmosphere was lively.
Chu Liuyue arrived at the position they agreed on beforehand, and it was beside the stream.
This place was still a distance away from the fountain.
Chu Liuyue looked over and realized that the people closest to the fountain seemed to be the senior brothers and senior sisters, who were extremely strong.
When outsiders looked over, envy was written all over their faces. However, nobody crossed the border.
It was clear that everyone obeyed the rules here.
"I really wonder when we can stand at the place nearest to the fountain…" Zhuo Sheng lowered his voice for once, and envy filled his eyes. "I hear that the water which emerges from the mountain contains the purest strength. When it flows down, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced. If we could stand there…"
"Hah! In the academy, who wouldn't want to do so? However, how can this be so easy? You need to know that the people up there are top 50 in the Qing Yun Ranking!"
Chu Liuyue's eyebrows rose slightly. If they are in the top 50, they should basically be ranked in the forties. If not, they would directly say that they are in the top 40 or even top 30. In the academy, this ranking is definitely one of the more outstanding ones. Of course, they aren't at the top. The most powerful bunch won't really appear in such a place.
Chu Liuyue retracted her gaze and walked closer to the stream. Then, she took a closer look at it.
Standing here, she could feel the strange aura coming from within. It seemed like… a special and pure strength.
Chu Liuyue felt rather curious.
She had heard that this Million Wine Mountain was actually an ordinary mountain back in the day. One day thousands of years ago, there was a strange weather phenomenon, and a thunderstorm brewed for some reason. After the commotion, this strange thing appeared on Million Wine Mountain.
It had already been a long while since then.
"Tsk, this Million Wine Mountain's wine is indeed good!" Zhuo Sheng couldn't conceal his curiosity as he took a wine cup.
Then, his eyes sparkled after finishing it. "You should try!"
Luo Yanming and Luo Shishi drank a few mouthfuls each, and they looked surprised. "It's indeed good!"
"This seems to be even more fragrant than the Nine-Leaf Green we drank in our clan…"
At this point, Chu Liuyue's shoulders suddenly sank.
She turned around, and Tuan Zi appeared without her knowledge as it squatted on her shoulders. At this point, it was staring at the fountain water flowing down and looked as if it desired it very much.
Chu Liuyue: "You want it?"
Tuan Zi nodded crazily. Yes! Yes! Isn't this smell heavenly?!
It was rare for Chu Liuyue to see Tuan Zi appear in such a manner, so she couldn't help but laugh. Then, she took a cup, filled it, and brought it to her fiend. "Here, for you."
Tuan Zi stuck its head in and drank a mouthful. With that, its eyes sparkled even more than before.
Not long later, the water inside the cup completely disappeared.
Tuan Zi smacked its lips and looked at Chu Liuyue; its emotions could be seen at one glance.
"You still want it?" Chu Liuyue glanced at the fiend's stomach doubtfully. The current Tuan Zi hasn't revealed its true body. It's just palm-sized now, and the earlier cup could completely contain it. Nobody knows how it drank so much fountain water, yet it still wants more now?
Tuan Zi inched closer in a flattering manner and lightly pecked her cheeks before burrowing its furry forehead against her face.
Its intentions were exposed immediately.
Chu Liuyue: "..".
"Hm? Chu Yue, is this your fiend?" asked Luo Shishi in shock.
Chu Liuyue nodded.
"Si… This seems to be a… red-tailed phoenix?" Luo Yanming—who stood at the side—couldn't hide his shock.
This was a legendary fiend, and it was a legendary fiend with the strongest bloodline! Even they might not be able to make an agreement with such a legendary fiend.
Luo Shishi widened her eyes slightly. I knew that Chu Yue had a legendary fiend. If not, he wouldn't willingly take part in the Armory Refinement Master test during the day. However, I didn't expect Chu Yue's legendary fiend to be such a formidable existence.
"I really couldn't tell! Chu Yue, you actually have a legendary fiend at your age?!" Zhuo Sheng glanced from the corner of his eyes, and his face was filled with shock. "Don't you specialize as a heavenly doctor? How can you make an agreement with such a formidable legendary fiend?"
They all knew that Chu Yue was just a beginner stage-seven warrior. According to this talent and capability, she shouldn't be able to convince such an arrogant legendary fiend.
Chu Liuyue smiled slightly. "I was just luckier."
"But you're too lucky…" Zhuo Sheng couldn't help but mutter as he shot Chu Liuyue an increasingly strange gaze. "What kind of background do you have?"
According to this family background, he should at least be a disciple from an aristocratic family, right?
Chu Liuyue smiled but didn't speak, not having any intentions of revealing her status.
Luo Shishi and the rest didn't mind either.
The students in Ling Xiao Academy could come from any place or any clan on the mainland. Due to various reasons, many people weren't very willing to expose their backgrounds. In addition, with the director and the elders' control and guidance, everyone focused on cultivation and nothing else.
Hence, when someone didn't want to state their background, the others would sensibly not ask further.
Anyway, this was secondary in the academy. As long as you were sufficiently outstanding, everything else didn't matter.
Chu Liuyue teased Tuan Zi. "If you still want it, you can just go and drink."
Anyway, we are right beside the stream, so Tuan Zi just has to fly down.
However, Tuan Zi shook its head as its eyes sparkled in a certain direction enthusiastically.
Chu Liuyue followed its gaze and looked over. Then, the corner of her lips twitched slightly. "…You're not… going to head to that fountain to drink, right?"
Tuan Zi waved its wings. Yeah! There!
Chu Liuyue was speechless.
She grabbed Tuan Zi's wings and hurled it up, looking straight into its eyes. "Tuan Zi, do you have some misunderstandings about yourself, or do you have some misunderstandings about me?"
I don't even have the right to go over, yet it is interested?
Tuan Zi looked at her with much desire.
"Let it go." The legendary three-eyed eagle's voice coldly sounded.
