BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1236
When Chu Liuyue came out from Jiuheng Peak, she saw Luo Shishi and the rest from afar. She rapidly went forward and met with them.
Zhuo Sheng curiously glanced behind her and smacked his lips. “Chu Yue, you entered the Qing Yun Ranking today. Does Senior Brother Rong Xiu not plan to celebrate with you?”
Chu Liuyue raised her brows. “You want me to invite him to go to Million Wine Mountain with us?”
After being seen through, Zhuo Sheng didn’t hide his intentions and chuckled. “I just respect Senior Brother Rong Xiu a lot, and I want to see how good he is! However, I think he won’t be very interested in such matters…”
He just said this casually and didn’t actually want Chu Liuyue to think of ways to invite Rong Xiu.
Thinking of how someone kept reminding her not to play outside for too long, Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but smile. Rong Xiu isn’t just uninterested in Million Wine Mountain. He even has opinions about me going to Million Wine Mountain. However, he just saw that I really wanted to go, so he didn’t stop me further and let me have my way.
“If Senior Brother Rong Xiu really came, I’m afraid we won’t have a good time,” said Chu Liuyue. Many academy elders are very polite when they meet Rong Xiu, let alone students. If he goes, everyone present will probably have to restrain themselves. What could we talk about then?
Luo Shishi couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s true! Many people in the academy respect Senior Brother Rong Xiu greatly, but if he was really in front of them… They might not even be able to say a full sentence.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Sheng could only shrug his shoulders regretfully. “Then, let’s just go ourselves!”
…
When they reached Million Wine Mountain, the sky had completely darkened. Only a sea of candlelights burned brightly in the middle.
The crowd bustled, and it was very lively.
The moment Chu Liuyue and the rest arrived, they attracted quite a few people’s attention.
The surroundings fell silent. Even though Chu Liuyue had come quite a few times before, today was different. This was because she had entered the Qing Yun Ranking.
Tuan Zi had run out much earlier on and was squatting on Chu Liuyue’s shoulders. Hearing the water by the side, its eyes glowed with temptation.
If there weren’t so many people around, it would’ve rushed to the fountain without care long ago.
Tuan Zi looked up with much desire and kept using its furry head to nudge Chu Liuyue’s cheeks. Its intentions were clear.
Chu Liuyue knew that Tuan Zi was impatient from all the waiting, so she walked forward.
Quite a few people automatically retreated to the two sides and made way for her. Even if being hundredth on the heavenly doctor list wasn’t an elite achievement, everybody in the academy knew that Chu Yue—who had gotten this position—came to the academy less than two months ago.
The point was that he was only sixteen years old. One just had to think to know how bright his future would be!
Even if they didn’t consider his backer, his talent and personality would unwittingly cause people to fear him.
When Chu Liuyue arrived at the fountain area, quite a few people were already standing there. There was even a familiar face amongst them—Liu Yintong.
But before Chu Liuyue could speak, Liu Yintong had already taken a step back and said, “Chu Yue, you’re here? I’ve already helped you reserve this seat. Just use it!”
Chu Liuyue was dazed for once before she looked up and sized Liu Yintong up.
Liu Yintong was different from the previous few arrogant and unreasonable times. Her current gaze had a slight hint of urgency and nervousness. It was as if she were terrified she had done something wrong and that she faintly wanted to flatter her.
That’s strange… Chu Liuyue thought to herself secretly. Liu Yintong has a fiery temper and is always competitive. If not, she wouldn’t have hated me just because her own red-tailed phoenix lost to Tuan Zi. Therefore, why did she suddenly become someone else now?
“Senior Sister Liu, the agreement between us has already been completed. I can do it myself in the future; I won’t trouble you anymore,” said Chu Liuyue.
The effects of the punishment had sunken in, and Liu Yintong had even offended quite a few people because of this. To Chu Liuyue, this incident was over. After all, her time was also very precious, and she didn’t want to waste her time on such matters.
Chu Liuyue originally thought that the other party would look relieved when she heard this, but Liu Yintong’s face actually flushed white unexpectedly.
Liu Yintong couldn’t help but take a step forward as she anxiously and worriedly asked, “It’s no trouble—no trouble! I made a mistake previously, so I should do all of this to apologize and make it up to you! Junior Brother Chu Yue, you mustn’t stand on ceremony with me! Y-you aren’t still angry with me, right?”

Chu Liuyue’s expression became even weirder. This… What’s going on? Liu Yintong still wants to continue? But this matter only seems to have cons and no pros for her, right? Wouldn’t any normal person be happy that they are done with such a torture? Who would still miss it?
Chu Liuyue glanced at the other party calmly and realized that the latter’s expression wasn’t fake. She was even more surprised.
She smiled. “Senior Sister Liu, why would I be angry with you? This matter has already passed, right?”
She didn’t like to waste her emotions on such matters.
Liu Yintong looked at the young man before her anxiously.
His appearance was clean and handsome, and his eyes were clear. His lips formed a nonchalant and gentle smile, causing his entire person to look harmless.
It seems like… he really didn’t take it to heart… Liu Yintong secretly heaved a sigh of relief and felt empty.
It had just been a mere two months, but their identities had completely changed. When she saw this young man for the first time, she never thought that she would bow down to him one day.
“That’s good… That’s good…” she muttered softly. Then, she couldn’t help but say, “Junior Brother Chu Yue, I was too impulsive last time, so I did a lot of things to make you upset. I hope… you won’t take it to heart. I promise I will never do it again! I just hope that you won’t bear a grudge, Junior Brother Chu Yue!”
At that moment, Chu Liuyue wanted to ask if Liu Yintong was sick or if she was foolish.
Actually, it was normal that she wanted to totally resolve the previous grudges. After all, Chu Liuyue had a spot of her own in the academy.
With the few backers supporting her, she truly became someone that wasn’t to be trifled with in the academy. Everyone feared her in some way or another.
However, Liu Yintong doesn’t need to be this enthusiastic, right? This really doesn’t seem like something she would do.
“Senior Sister Liu, if you need anything, just say it directly.” Chu Liuyue sized her up and said it.
Liu Yintong felt that her entire self had been seen. At this point, she shockingly realized that Chu Yue was even more intelligent and cunning than she had thought.
She clenched her fists tightly, and her nails dug into her palm. She hesitated for quite some time before saying, “N-nothing much. I just feel that I was overboard regarding those matters, so… If you need my help with anything in the future, just say so, Junior Brother Chu Yue!”
Before Chu Liuyue could reply, she suddenly heard a mockery from the side. “Junior Brother Chu Yue currently has Elder Wan Zheng and Senior Brother Rong Xiu protecting him. Why would he need your help? You think too highly of yourself.”
