Chapter 1178: Thank You for the Compliment Chu Liuyue was rather shocked. I didn’t expect him to suddenly talk about Rong Xiu, and… His words seem so strange…
“But it’s one thing that you have a backer and another if you have a death wish.” Dugu Mobao opened the door. “When you’re here at Ling Xiao Academy, although we can’t continue most of the training we did before… When I have the time, I’ll still personally teach you.”
Then, he stepped out. The next moment, his small figure disappeared into the thick darkness!
“Hey, you—” Chu Liuyue recovered her senses and rubbed her brows. She could already predict what kind of days were waiting for her!
She picked Tuan Zi up and walked outside. “Let’s go! We should tour around while we’re still free!”
…
Million Wine Mountain.
Evening to midnight was Million Wine Mountain’s opening hours.
At this point, quite a few people had already gathered at Million Wine Mountain. However, there were much fewer people than the day before.
To most of the students in the academy, Million Wine Mountain was a place they could rest and relax. It was nice if they came once in a while, but there was no need to come every day.
Besides, the incident between Chu Liuyue and Liu Yintong had caused much commotion these few days. Quite a few people were fearful and didn’t want to get into trouble, so they didn’t come.
Once Chu Liuyue stepped into Million Wine Mountain, she attracted everyone’s attention. Countless pairs of gazes landed on her in unison with varying expressions.
However, Chu Liuyue pretended she didn’t see them as she went up.
She finally stopped when she was about to reach the peak.
At this point, almost all the seats near the fountain had been taken, and Liu Yintong’s figure wasn’t there.
Chu Liuyue looked at a young man next to her. “Senior Sister Liu hasn’t come yet?”
There was a tacit understanding of who this ‘Senior Sister Liu’ was.
That young man was dazed for a moment and instinctively nodded. “I haven’t seen her.”
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly. It seems like Liu Yintong didn’t take my words seriously… She actually hasn’t come yet at this time. I can wait, but Tuan Zi doesn’t have that patience.
Chu Liuyue stood at her spot and waited for about 15 minutes before Liu Yintong finally strolled in.
Together with her was also Gong Sheng from that day.
“Senior Sister Liu, you really made me wait quite a bit,” said Chu Liuyue first with a smile.
After Liu Yintong saw Chu Liuyue, she felt agitated again when she had just forcefully calmed herself down. However, the surrounding people’s gazes still made her swallow those words.
“I was delayed by some matter,” she said frustratedly, and her tone was cold.
Chu Liuyue didn’t plan to waste time on pursuing her mistakes and smiled. “Senior Sister Liu, you’re very busy, and it’s already hard for you to make time. Please—”
Liu Yintong secretly clenched her teeth. This is only the first day, and I already feel utterly humiliated! I really don’t know how I’m supposed to survive the coming month! However, I’ve already given my promise in front of so many people. If I really go back on my words midway… my reputation in the academy would be ruined! Hence, no matter how torturous it is, I still have to continue!
She took a deep breath in and looked at the top of the mountain.
When she saw those few people’s faces, her expression changed slightly. Why are they here today?!
Seeing her expression, a thought surfaced in Chu Liuyue’s heart as she looked over as well and quickly sized the few people up.
There were males and females in extravagant clothing; they all looked like disciples taught by distinguished families. The most important thing was that the few of them had an aura as strong or stronger than that of Liu Yintong!
Besides, seeing Liu Yintong’s expression, those people might even be stronger than her…
“What, Senior Sister Liu, Is there a problem?” asked Chu Liuyue gently.
Liu Yintong clenched her fists even more tightly, and her nails dug into her palm. He still has the cheek to ask!
But she was caught between a rock and a hard place and had to go up bravely.
She turned around, lowered her voice, and said carefully, “We’ll fulfill the bet in a month!”
The threat and warning in her voice weren’t concealed at all.
Chu Liuyue looked apologetic. “Originally, I still thought that we could let this go if you feel like you’re in a difficult spot today. But since you’ve said there’s no problem, then… I’ll gladly accept it.”
As Chu Liuyue spoke, her lips curled up slightly. “Senior Sister Liu, you do as you promised! You’re really my role model!”
Chu Liuyue didn’t lower her voice when she said these two sentences, so the surrounding people heard her rather clearly.
At that moment, the atmosphere became strange.
Liu Yintong didn’t expect Chu Liuyue to play such tricks in front of so many people, and she almost couldn’t control her expression. “You—”
“Ah Tong.” Just when Liu Yintong was about to explode, Gong Sheng suddenly spoke from the side and pulled her last bit of rationality back. “We still have things to do later on. You should quickly settle Junior Brother Chu Yue’s problem. If not, Junior Brother Chu Yue would think that you’ve forgotten.”
As Gong Sheng spoke, he glanced at Chu Liuyue deeply. Even though he was smiling, his words were filled with unconcealable mockery.
He wasn’t present that day, but he had heard Liu Yintong speak about what happened. Even though he was shocked that a stage-seven warrior like Chu Liuyue could beat Liu Zi’an—who was an entire stage higher than her—he still despised Chu Liuyue even more.
In his eyes, he felt that Chu Liuyue’s victory was problematic and that she definitely used unscrupulous means. Besides, she later requested Liu Yintong to continuously send her up to Million Wine Mountain for a month, so he hated Chu Liuyue even more.
Chu Liuyue didn’t care about this. No matter what they say, nothing else matters as long as they do what they should.
Hence, she smiled and continued, “Senior Brother Gong Sheng is right. My memory has always been bad. For the following month, Senior Sister Liu, you have to bear with me.”
Liu Yintong felt like there was a flame in her heart that crazily shot up, almost burning her alive! She didn’t speak further and walked up.
Gong Sheng followed her closely. When he passed by Chu Liuyue, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and glanced at Chu Liuyue deeply. “You have guts.”
Even though he was smiling, his words were sinister and cold, sending a chill down one’s spine.
Chu Liuyue slightly smiled. “Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother Gong Sheng.”
Gong Sheng took a deep breath in, turned around, and rapidly followed Liu Yintong!
Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly and slowly walked over.
…
Liu Yintong arrived near the fountain.
The few people who heard the noise all turned around.
Liu Yintong stood still, took a deep breath in, and politely said, “Liang Xiaoxiao, is there another seat here? I can—”
“No.” An intricately dressed-up woman interrupted her directly and said lazily, “There’s already someone here, and he should be coming soon. If you want to come, come earlier tomorrow.”
