Chapter 1395: Worry

The surroundings fell into deep silence.

Jiang Zhiyuan opened her mouth slightly, and her pale lips trembled slightly in disbelief. She wanted to say something, but she realized that her throat was dry and that her chest had become tight.

She couldn’t say a single word, and her face burned. Rong Xiu’s one sentence humiliated her even more than the slap Liang Xiaoxiao gave her previously!

Disturbed… Chu Yue’s… sleep?! Could my life and death be less important than that person’s sleep? Jiang Zhiyuan didn’t ask this because she could already tell the answer from Rong Xiu’s annoyed and cold face.

The pair of phoenix eyes looking at her was cold, heartless, and distant, without any hint of friendship!

All the strength in Jiang Zhiyuan’s body seemed to be emptied as she collapsed onto the ground.

Nobody went to help her up.

The ground was icy cold as if it had sunk into her blood, and it was so cold that she trembled.

Rong Xiu had already retracted his gaze, carried Chu Liuyue, and continued walking forward.

Not far away was the transportation formation to head back.

Chu Liuyue’s current condition wasn’t looking good, and she had to return to the academy as soon as possible.

Looking at the cold and harsh back view, Jiang Zhiyuan clenched her fists tightly. Finally, she couldn’t help but look up and ask with indignation and overwhelming anger, “Your Highness, can you really bear to give up on Fairy Water Mound?!”

Fairy Water Mound was the head of the 28 divisions, and it had important meaning to the Sky-Cloud Empire. She didn’t believe Rong Xiu would be willing to risk this for Chu Yue!

Rong Xiu stood in the transportation formation. He moved his arms slightly and allowed the person in his arms to have a more comfortable position before he looked up and glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan.

This look was extremely cold and nonchalant.

The corner of his lips curled up slightly with some hint of smiling intent, but they seemed to be covered in frost, and it made one’s heart cold from the inside. “Before this, maybe you should think of how you want to tell your father about yourself.”

Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly widened her eyes! At that moment, something seemed to collapse in her heart! Right! In the past, I was the apple of Father’s eye and was a top elite in the entire Fairy Water Mound. Even if Father was biased toward me, nobody would say anything. However, it is different now. I’ve been abandoned by Elder Dan Qing and am about to be expelled by Ling Xiao Academy. Let’s not mention that I have a problem I can’t get out of on Liang Xiaoxiao’s side. 

Even if my father is willing to help me, what about the others? I no longer have my previous status, so I won’t have the same special rights! By then, would the entire Fairy Water Mound still confront the Sky-Cloud Empire because of me!? 

There was never a moment that Jiang Zhiyuan so clearly realized that she actually had nothing at all! This trip to the Flood-Desert Northern Region made her lose everything!

“Let’s go.” Elder Bo Yan couldn’t be bothered to care about her as he turned around and called for the crowd to follow up. They then boarded the transportation formation.

Elder Hua Feng wasn’t so anxious. He passed through the crowd and walked to Jiang Zhiyuan.

Jiang Zhiyuan seemed to notice something as she raised her head and looked into Elder Hua Feng’s seemingly kind but actually filled with mockery gaze.

“Jiang Zhiyuan, you’ve always been smart and sharp, and your mentor has praised you for your agile thinking more than once. It’s a pity you don’t know that sometimes, others might outsmart you. If you think too much about what you shouldn’t, it’ll just be disadvantageous for you!”

Jiang Zhiyuan’s throat tightened. Suddenly, she went forward as if she wanted to grab the corner of Elder Hua Feng’s shirt.

Elder Hua Feng silently took a step back and avoided her hand.

Jiang Zhiyuan grabbed nothing and fell to the ground. Snow flew to her face, making her look even more miserable.

“Elder Hua Feng, I-I’m begging you—please give me another chance!” Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t care about anything else now as she begged bitterly. It would be good if she could salvage even a little bit. “It’s all my fault! It was a moment of folly! P-please forgive me this time!”

Why was I so stupid to think of threatening Elder Hua Feng to protect my everything?! Elder Hua Feng has the entire Ling Xiao Academy backing him up! What do I have?! 

Elder Hua Feng seemed to laugh, but his voice was very calm. “You can’t keep spilled water. How can you retract the words you said?”

Jiang Zhiyuan’s entire body stiffened as if she froze inch by inch. She suddenly couldn’t say her remaining words.

Other than letting other people ridicule her, what else could it do?!

Elder Hua Feng looked down at her from above and glanced at Elder Dan Qing again.

From start to end, he didn’t look over again. It was clear that he was thoroughly disappointed in Jiang Zhiyuan!

“Taking into consideration that you were a student of the academy for a few years… I can send a message back to Fairy Water Mound to ask them to fetch you as soon as possible. Oh, you don’t have to thank me for this small matter.”As he spoke, Elder Hua Feng laughed and turned around to walk away.

Jiang Zhiyuan’s brain was in a mess, and one sentence kept echoing in her mind: It’s over! It’s completely over! 

…

“I wonder what Jiang Zhiyuan did to be hated like this.” Luo Shishi went up the transportation formation and glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan—who collapsed on the snow ground helplessly—from the corner of her eyes. She couldn’t help but mutter softly, “No matter what it is, it can’t be something good.”

At the side, Luo Yanlin laughed. “Elder Dan Qing treats her like his goddaughter and has always doted on her. Something that could force him to break their ties… Hah, it’s Jiang Zhiyuan’s capability as well!”

Luo Shishi nodded. Judging from the other academy elders’ reactions, Jiang Zhiyuan probably won’t be able to stay in Ling Xiao Academy after going back.

“She had a deck of good cards, but she played so badly in the end.”

Jiang Zhiyuan used to be so glamorous and proud. Now, she was actually hated and abandoned by others… In the future, it would be very hard for her to have a standing in the God Residence Realm.

“I really don’t know how she ended up here.” Although Luo Shishi wasn’t very familiar with Jiang Zhiyuan, thinking of the difference between the current her and the previous her, she sighed as well.

“Why are you thinking so much?” Luo Yanlin knocked on her forehead lightly. “Her life and death have nothing to do with us. Just watch casually.”

As the most outstanding eldest son of the Luo family and most likely to inherit the position of the head of the family, Luo Yanlin was always proud. He never cared about someone like Jiang Zhiyuan; he just treated her like a clown.

Luo Shishi obediently acknowledged him. She then curled her fingers and couldn’t help but look in another direction.

Even if everyone was squeezed together, she could still see Rong Xiu at one glance.

He was very tall and always stood out from the crowd. Besides, his seemingly intricately carved, handsome, and demonic-like appearance gathered all the limelight at any point, causing everything else to lose its color.

This transportation formation wasn’t considered small, but it was rather crowded if so many of them stood together. However, there seemed to be an invisible barrier around Rong Xiu, causing other people to be unable to get near him easily.

Cold, distinguished, imperious, and mighty. It was as if it would be blasphemous to even take a step forward.

He carried Chu Yue in his arms, and one couldn’t see the latter’s appearance.

Luo Shishi bit her lips. “I wonder how Chu Yue is doing…”
