The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 1390

Chapter 1390: Return
Elder Hua Feng found it strange. “Who is it?”
Elder Bo Yan shook his head. “I don’t know, but… When we met with danger, there seemed to be someone helping us secretly, so we managed to escape the ordeal. If not…”
If not, according to our situation back then, it would be impossible that only seven people died. But from start to end, the other party didn’t show themselves, so I cannot guess.
“Even you don’t know? That’s weird then… Who would help our Ling Xiao Academy and not leave their name behind?” Elder Hua Feng knitted his brows, but they quickly relaxed. He smiled and said, “Forget it! We probably can’t figure it out even if we think about it now. Let’s go back first! It’s always good to have someone help us. If we find out who it is in the future, we’ll then thank them properly!”
“En.” Elder Bo Yan nodded. As if he suddenly thought of something, he asked, “Oh right, why are you guys here?”
Elder Hua Feng and the others exchanged glances. As expected… Someone indeed hid behind their backs and did this, so Bo Yan doesn’t even know.
Elder Hua Feng passed Bo Yan his green jade plaque.
“Isn’t this the one I previously lost?” Elder Bo Yan took it and said rather strangely.
“We received news from it, so we came. But after we came, we realized that you didn’t send it.” Elder Hua Feng had one hand behind his back and thought deeply for a moment. “Even now, we still don’t know who the mastermind is… Wan Zheng!”
As he spoke, he saw Elder Wan Zheng coming up from downstairs.
Elder Wan Zheng looked up. As he had suddenly walked out of the dark jail, he wasn’t used to the light outside, causing him to squint his eyes.
Seeing that Elder Hua Feng seemed rather nervous, he was a little confused. “What’s the matter?”
Elder Hua Feng took a deep breath in and said apologetically, “I… I let you down. I couldn’t take good care of Chu Yue for you.”
Elder Wan Zheng suddenly woke up. “What did you say?”
“H-he followed the few of us over at that time… But later on, a group of men in black suddenly appeared and said that their master wanted to see him, so they brought him away. I… The other party had legendary warriors. We couldn’t do anything about it, so we could only watch Chu Yue leave with them…”
Elder Wan Zheng’s expression changed, and he quickly walked over. “Chu Yue followed you guys here too?!”
Elder Hua Feng pressed his lips against each other tightly, and his throat became dry. Even though it was Chu Yue who requested it himself, I still hold some responsibility for it. If I had insisted on rejecting at the start, how would—
Elder Wan Zheng’s expression turned pale. Men in black… Legendary warriors… Aren’t they the people that attacked us previously? But…
“Why did they want to see Chu Yue out of everyone?” And it is the other party’s master! Even with so many of us around, we didn’t even hear those people talking about their master.
Elder Hua Feng closed his eyes. “We… don’t know either. This is my fault. I’ll bear all responsibility for this—”
Elder Wan Zheng held his palm out, indicating that he didn’t need to talk further. He then took a deep breath in and calmed his tumbling emotions with much difficulty.
“Where is he now?” Elder Wan Zheng’s voice was slightly cold.
He spent a lot of energy controlling himself and not raging. This was because he knew that this was definitely not Elder Hua Feng’s fault alone.
But if something really happened to Chu Yue… He didn’t know if he could still be this calm!
Elder Hua Feng clenched his fists tightly, and he was filled with remorse and self-blame. “…Their actions are discreet. We…”
They naturally didn’t know.
If a legendary warrior wanted to take someone away and hide them in this boundless snowy field, it would be as easy as ABC.
The surroundings fell into dead silence.
Everyone knew how much Elder Wan Zheng treasured his disciple. Now that this had happened, how could he not be worried?
“I’ll find him myself!” Elder Wan Zheng said and turned around, wanting to leave.
Elder Bo Yan shook his head. “Wan Zheng, you don’t even know where he is. Where are you going to look for him?”
Elder Wan Zheng stopped in his tracks and clenched his fists tightly. Then, should I just wait like this? I can’t do it!
Elder Bo Yan thought for a moment before saying, “This place is dangerous. We must leave with the remaining students as soon as possible. Even if the Heavenly Square Cauldron appears, we can’t—”
“The news regarding the Heavenly Square Cauldron is fake,” Elder Hua Feng couldn’t help but interrupt.
Then, under the shocked expressions of the crowd, Elder Hua Feng narrated the previous incident once. “So this news was most likely released on purpose to lure the crowd over. If there’s really a Heavenly Square Cauldron appearing, the legendary three-eyed eagles that live here wouldn’t have used a fake Heavenly Square Cauldron to lie to others. Besides…”
Elder Hua Feng paused and said with some uncertainty, “Besides, judging from the legendary three-eyed eagles’ reactions, that Heavenly Square Cauldron had a master long ago… But I didn’t ask for the specifics. I think Chu Yue would know it better.”
After a temporary silence, Elder Bo Yan laughed bitterly. “I see. Actually, we also felt that something was wrong previously. I didn’t expect this to really be the case. It seems like everyone was tricked this time. However… I wonder who the mastermind is as he spent so much effort to lure so many top-tier clans. I wonder what his intentions are.”
Can’t figure it out. One really couldn’t understand.
“I think it’d be better if we don’t join this ‘commotion.’” Elder Bo Yan thought for a while and raised his head to point at a few people. “Leave some of them behind to search for Chu Yue’s whereabouts. The others, follow the main team back—”
“Elder Bo Yan.” A young woman’s voice suddenly sounded.
Quite a few people looked toward the sound of the voice.
“Luo Shishi?” Elder Bo Yan had a questioning gaze. “What do you want to say?”
They could tell that Luo Shishi was rather nervous and apprehensive. But after taking a deep breath in, she still said determinedly, “Elder, this place is big with not many people, and it’s really extremely difficult to find someone here. Why don’t I stay behind and search with you?”
As she spoke, she glanced at Luo Yanlin.
Luo Yanlin raised his brows and felt helpless. But she was still his biological sister at the end of the day, so he could only dote on her and spoil her.
He took a step forward. “Shishi is right. Elder, the few of us want to stay and look for Chu Yue together.”
It was always better to have more manpower. However, Elder Bo Yan was rather hesitant. ‘But you guys are injured more or less…”
In such circumstances, it would be better if they returned as soon as possible to treat their wounds. Who knew what would happen if they stayed here?
“Don’t worry about this. We know what we’re doing.” The attitude of Luo Yanlin and the rest seemed rather determined.
Elder Bo Yan was put in a difficult spot. On the one hand, he wanted to find Chu Yue as soon as possible. On the other hand, he didn’t want to put the other students in danger any longer.
At this point, Xue Xue—who was extremely bored—suddenly had its eyes light up as it rushed forward!
The crowd instinctively looked over.
A tall man wearing a black robe was walking in this direction. He was holding someone tightly in his arms.
“Rong Xiu!”
