Chapter 1192: Rong Xiu Danger! 

This sentence shocked everyone awake. 

Jiang Zhiyuan originally wanted to take the chance to go out. Even if she could only show her face in front of Rong Xiu once, at least she could let him know that she would disregard everything for him. 

But now that Elder Bo Yan spoke, she suddenly realized how stupid it was to say such words in public! 

“I-I didn’t mean it that way…” she hurriedly explained in panic. “I’m just worried about Senior Brother Rong Xiu…” 

“Rong Xiu’s talent and capabilities are one of the top few in Ling Xiao Academy, and he’s also the Sky-Cloud Empire’s His Grace. Could it be that you think his ability to protect himself isn’t as good as yours and that he needs you to worry for him?” Elder Bo Yan’s tone was light, but his words made Jiang Zhiyuan increasingly humiliated. 

The entire square was silent. 

Everyone looked at Jiang Zhiyuan with complicated and strange gazes. That’s right! Elder Bo Yan makes sense. The situation outside is indeed perilous now, but many elders in the academy have already taken action. Therefore, it is impossible for those people to have their way outside the academy. Besides, Rong Xiu is also at the top of two of the four Qing Yun Ranking lists. What is the use of a demigod like her being worried? Even if she goes over, she will probably cause more trouble and become everyone’s burden. Since this was so, her attitude is especially… 

“Pfft, someone just wants to act like she’s really devoted in front of everyone, but she should see if she has the capabilities and the right to do so.” 

Chuckles could be heard from the crowd. 

Jiang Zhiyuan’s face instantly flushed white and red. She rapidly looked up, wanting to identify who had said those words. 

But there were many people in the square, and that voice was rather unfamiliar, so she couldn’t identify who said it. 

She bit her lips and looked aggrieved. 

In the past, this expression of hers would receive many people’s pity and sympathy. However, it didn’t seem to work this time. 

When the academy was in trouble, everyone’s first thought was about the academy and not an individual. 

Jiang Zhiyuan’s series of actions was clearly for her own needs, so the crowd would naturally ignore her and even feel disgusted. 

“That’s right! Elder Bo Yan already told us not to worry and that we should go back and wait, yet she wants to risk her life to go over. What can she do over there? Offer her head? Haha!” 

“I believe she thinks too highly of herself, right? What right does she have to be worried about Senior Brother Rong Xiu?” 

“Hehe, I’m actually pretty worried about Senior Brother Rong Xiu too! But I know my own capabilities, so I won’t cause trouble for Senior Brother and the elders at this point!” 

The many mockeries and jokes were like needles that stabbed Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart, shredding, throwing on the floor, and trampling all over her face and dignity! 

She had always been the apple of everyone’s eyes, and she was the proudest and most doted on existence everywhere she went. But now, those people looked at her like they were watching a show. 

Jiang Zhiyuan’s limbs turned soft. She didn’t understand why it suddenly became like this when she just said a few sentences and didn’t do anything wrong. 

Seeing her pale face and dejected and embarrassed appearance, Elder Bo Yan shook his head. “I heard your mentor say that you’re about to break through, so you should just focus on cultivating for now!” 

This sentence was considered as giving Jiang Zhiyuan an out. 

Jiang Zhiyuan bit her lips and forced herself to acknowledge it before turning around and leaving rapidly. 

Her head—which was always held up proudly—finally fell, and her back view looked embarrassed and dejected. 

Liang Xiaoxiao and the rest exchanged glances, looking awkward, and quickly left together. 

… 

After experiencing this small incident, everyone in the square felt more relaxed than before. Hearing what Elder Bo Yan had said, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. 

So as Elder Bo Yan kept urging them, the students that gathered together dispersed quickly. 

“Let’s go back too!” Zhuo Sheng moved his limbs. “Shishi, I didn’t really understand the point that Mentor taught earlier. Could you exchange blows with me later and help me tidy it up?” 

Although his current cultivation level was higher than that of Luo Shishi, the latter was, in actual fact, more talented than him as a warrior. 

Zhuo Sheng had long known this fact, so he would regularly ask Luo Shishi for guidance patiently. 

Luo Shishi nodded. 

Luo Yanming thought and said, “Then, I’ll go back and study Xuan formations.” 

Even though they had just come to the academy not long ago, they also felt enormous competition and pressure here. So even if they were rather talented and had a good background, they didn’t dare to take it easy. 

“Chu Yue, what about you?” The few of them looked at Chu Liuyue. 

She smiled. “Since you guys are all going back, I’ll go too.” 

… 

The group of people dispersed on their own. 

Chu Liuyue walked toward the heavenly doctor’s side, but she didn’t go up the mountains in the end. 

At this point, the sky was gradually darkening as the sun set in the west. 

She chose an extremely discreet location, and after confirming there was nobody else in the surroundings, she raised her wrist. 

A peach blossom silently bloomed on her snow-white wrist. A thought then popped up in her mind, and her figure quickly disappeared from the area! 

… 

With the instant teleportation, Chu Liuyue silently arrived at the edge of the academy’s barrier. 

Probably because the academy’s elders had heightened their defenses, but the barrier had a faint glow to it and a strong suppression. 

She held her breath in and stared at that barrier closely. Many thoughts flashed across her mind. 

Elder Bo Yan was right. Fangzhou City was right outside the academy, so nobody would act unreasonably here. 

The elders had already taken action together, so it shouldn’t pose a problem for them to handle the bunch of people. Besides, Rong Xiu was also very strong. 

Chu Liuyue had known him for so long, but until now, she couldn’t be certain of Rong Xiu’s cultivation level. 

Logically speaking, nothing would happen. 

Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other, and her internal struggle was intense. If I go over, I might very possibly be like Jiang Zhiyuan, becoming a useless burden. If that is so, it would be better for me to wait here silently. Besides, the academy’s barrier is heavily guarded, and it is almost impossible for me to go out secretly without anyone noticing. 

After much thinking, Chu Liuyue turned around and wanted to go back. 

But the moment she made a move, a ripple suddenly came from her dantian! That ripple wasn’t from the water droplet but… the black pyramid! 

An extremely faint golden light seeped out from the three cracks! For some reason, the black seal had faint signs of moving! 

This… Chu Liuyue focused on it, and just when she was thinking about what it meant, a silver light abruptly flashed before her eyes. 

She looked forward and saw the dagger—which Rong Xiu had given her—suddenly fly out on its own! 

Whir! 

The dagger vibrated! 

The sharp blade gleamed with a cold light—it had murderous intent! 

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat. Rong Xiu… is in danger! 

Without thinking, she immediately rushed to that barrier!
