The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 1150 - Lightning Bolt

Chapter 1150: Lightning Bolt
“I’ll naturally keep my word!” Liu Yintong couldn’t resist bellowing.
A momentary silence fell over the crowd as many of them cast a pitiful look at Chu Liuyue. He really has completely offended her! The consequences of offending any member of their group are unthinkable! All it takes are some wits and scheming from them, and Chu Yue’s life in the academy will become very tough! Even if his mentor is Elder Wan Zheng, he can’t completely control the students’ relationship dynamics. This guy… is doomed!
The student in question, however, remained seemingly oblivious to it all. Upon hearing what Liu Yintong said, Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows and flashed a smile at her. “And I naturally trust your character.”
Chu Liuyue’s reply was met with dead silence, and everyone could basically foresee how miserable her school life would be in time to come.
“Hah, no wonder Elder Wan Zheng likes you. You sure are something…” The smile on Gong Sheng’s face had faded a lot, and his eyes were filled with a coldness that couldn’t be disguised.
Had it been someone else, they would surely tremble with fear under his watchful gaze. But not Chu Liuyue. She calmly replied, “Thank you for the compliment, Senior. I still have a lot of shortcomings, so I need to learn more from you all.”
Even the arrogant Gong Sheng was rendered speechless at this moment. He choked upon hearing those words and then let out a cold and angry laugh.
“Well, well, well… Chu Yue, you sure are something!”
After saying that, he quickly walked over to Liu Yintong’s side. “Ah Tong, let’s go back and treat your fiend first. We can leave the rest of the matter to another day…”
Liu Yintong nodded, and the few of them turned to leave since the relaxed and happy mood had been completely destroyed.
The people standing further down parted quickly to form a spacious path for them.
After taking a few steps, Gong Sheng suddenly looked back and stared at Chu Liuyue. “Chu Yue, let’s have a friendly sparring exchange when the chance arises! Show us what you’re capable of when the time comes.”
The group then finally left the mountain, their shadows quickly disappearing among the dense woods.
The atmosphere on the mountaintop remained tense, and nobody spoke for a long time. Nobody had expected things to end up in this manner.
“Are you okay, Chu Yue?” Luo Shishi walked up to her and asked in concern.
Chu Liuyue smiled. “Of course, I am. What can possibly happen to me?
“You’re too arrogant for your own good!” Yin Fan couldn’t help sneering at her.
“You think you’re all capable and impressive after winning that fight? Have you any idea who exactly you’ve offended?! Nothing good will come out of this!”
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows. “Then, what should I have done to avoid offending them? Get Tuan Zi to admit defeat and offer its blood?”
Yin Fan was rendered speechless, for nobody would possibly be fine doing that. It wasn’t just robbing the legendary fiend of its blood but also an utter humiliation to its owner.
“Forget it. What happened has already happened, anyway. Let’s just go with the flow,” Luo Yanming stepped forward and said comfortingly. “They were being unreasonable in the first place. They can’t really do anything to you.”
“You’re being naive!” Yin Fan snorted.
Luo Shishi and the others didn’t pay any more attention to him. By now, they could tell how much he disliked Chu Yue. Although they had known him for a longer period of time, they were on Chu Yue’s side on this matter, for they could see the many problems of it.
“Don’t worry, Chu Yue! You won fair and square! Even if you tell the elders about it, they’ll be the ones at a disadvantage! If they really plan to deal with you, you have us! At most, I’ll rope my Fourth Brother in too!”
Luo Yanlin’s rank on the Qing Yun Ranking was much higher than any of them.
Chu Liuyue was comforted to hear that. “Thank you, but this is ultimately my problem. I’ll try to handle it myself.”
She then paused, her eyes quietly sparkling away. “I came to the academy to cultivate and become stronger, not bow down to anyone! If anyone wants to do anything to me, I’ll just pay them back in their own coin.” Since they have no respect for me, then I don’t have to be courteous with them, either!
“That’s right!” Zhuo Sheng had an approving look on his face. “They won’t have the cheek to pick on you since they can’t defeat you!” Only the strong get respected.
While Luo Shishi and Luo Yanming exchanged a worried look, Chu Liuyue shook her head and smiled. “Alright, don’t let this matter dampen your spirits.
Tuan Zi…”
She tapped Tuan Zi on its head. “Go on! We still have some time left!”
Upon hearing that, Tuan Zi excitedly rushed over to the fountain and plunged its head into the water. Gulp, gulp..
Chu Liuyue didn’t need to ask or even look at Tuan Zi’s expression to know how happy and excited it was. She could sense it herself, and this made her mood improve considerably.
Although the fivo of them were happy now, the rest of the people on the mountain had different thoughts. Some people were starting to leave the mountain; it was clear that they didn’t want to hang around the bold and reckless freshman and have anything to do with him.
Soon, there were only very few people left on Million Wine Mountain. The origmally bustling place instantly became quiet and deserted.
Yin Fan tried to urge Luo Shishi and the others to leave as well, but he got rebuffed and ostracized by them instead. In the end, he stormed off angrily on his own.
Time slowly trickled by.
Luo Yanming took another look at the fountain and asked in perplexity, “How come it still hasn’t drunk its fill? Does it intend to stay here?”
It had been a long time since the match had ended, but Tuan Zi was still at the fountain.
Chu Liuyue rubbed her sore temples. Looking at Tuan Zl”s condition, the power contained in the fountain water has an extremely obvious effect on it. Its injuries have almost completely healed, although it was also due to the help of the three drops ofblood. If Tuan Zi stays here longer, it might be able to awaken its bloodline sooner!
“Time’s almost up. We have to go now,” Luo Shishi reminded them as she glanced at the sky.
Chu Liuyue shouted Tuan Zi’s name, and only then did Tuan Zi reluctantly leave the fountain while turning its head back with every few steps. By the time it finally arrived at her side again, some time had passed.
Knowing the others must be nervous and in a hurry, Chu Liuyue said, “Let’s go!” We’re probably still in time to leave the mountain— Rumble!
An alarmingly loud sound suddenly exploded in the sky above Million Wine
Mountain.
Shocked, Chu Liuyue and the others immediately looked up, only to see the bright moon get hidden behind the dark clouds and silver lightning gathering at lightning speed.
“Someone’s trying to summon the lightning bolts to refine weapons!” Luo Yanming shouted in alarm. “Quickly, leave!” It’ll be bad if we get struck by the ligh tning!
As he spoke, a lightning bolt suddenly fell from the sky and toward them..
