Chapter 1285: Mature
The reluctant and sad atmosphere was instantly broken.
The corner of Chu Liuyue’s lips twitched as she looked at Tao Tao and seriously said, “Tao Tao, you’ve already swallowed such a huge black-gold crystal. You’re a big kid now. You can’t cry so easily, okay?”
Tao Tao nodded forcefully and flung a few large teardrops out.
Chu Liuyue was caught off-guard and was hit again. She wiped her face. “Um… I’ll leave first.”
Elder Shu Yu waited for a while, and just as he planned to go in and find her, Chu Liuyue finally walked out from within.
He looked at Chu Liuyue’s wet face in shock. “Chu Yue, what’s… with you?”
Chu Liuyue coughed. “Nothing; I just washed my face. Why did you come so early and even trouble yourself to specifically come and fetch me?”
Elder Shu Yu didn’t take it to heart as he smiled and said, “Today is the last day after all. Your mentor must be anxious like mad. Back then, I promised him that I would take good care of you, so I naturally have to be in charge of sending you out in one piece.”
He raised his chin. “Let’s go!”
Chu Liuyue nodded.
Just as the two of them jumped up and prepared to leave, a reluctant cry came from behind.
Chu Liuyue turned around to take a look but saw Ah Qiong and Tao Tao standing at the cave entrance and bidding her farewell.
She waved her hands.
“It seems like they’re really reluctant to leave you.” Elder Shu Yu looked curious. “These steel-ridged fiends are very cold and hard to approach. I didn’t expect them to be so close to you.”
Actually, he wanted to ask about this long ago, but he didn’t have much of a chance beforehand. Even now, he didn’t know exactly how Chu Yue built such a deep relationship with this steel-ridged fiend mother-son duo.
Especially that adult steel-ridged fiend. To guard Chu Yue, it could even sacrifice its child… It was really stunning.
Chu Liuyue smiled. “I think… it’s fate?”
Seeing that Chu Liuyue didn’t want to talk about it further, Elder Shu Yu understood and didn’t ask more.
Anyway, he already understood that this Chu Yue was indeed different from ordinary people. Things that seemed impossible to other people, he could complete many of them easily. One had no choice but to be convinced of this.
Some people were born lucky.
“Your aura seems stronger than before?” Originally, Elder Shu Yu wanted to check on Chu Liuyue’s current abilities. However, he recalled that the latter had a Yuan instrument that hid her aura, so he couldn’t check it. However, there were some faintly obvious changes.
Chu Liuyue raised her brows. “There is rich Heaven and Earth Force here, and it’s peaceful and quiet. It’s very suitable to cultivate here. I’ve already been here for a month. It’s normal for me to strengthen myself, right?”
“Peaceful? Quiet?” Elder Shu Yu’s gaze turned strange. Does Chu Yue have some misunderstanding about Fiend Park? Not to mention others, just judging from the night when he was about to break through and become a stage-eight warrior, it definitely had nothing to do with the words ‘peaceful’ and ‘quiet.’
“Don’t you think so? Fiend Park has been much quieter recently,” asked Chu Liuyue in return.
Elder Shu Yu thought for a while and was rather hesitant. “I think… so…”
When he patrolled in the past, he would occasionally hear some cries and roars from fiends, but it did decrease in frequency recently.
“Probably because the incident that night had caused a huge commotion…” said Elder Shu Yu with uncertainty.
Chu Liuyue didn’t correct him and nodded in agreement. “Elder Shu Yu, you make sense. In this way, I’m very fortunate.”
As they spoke, the two of them had reached the Xuan formation.
With the translucent Xuan formation in the middle, Chu Liuyue already saw two familiar figures.
Elder Shu Yu raised his hand, and an opening was made in the middle of the Xuan formation.
“Disciple!” Elder Wan Zheng couldn’t conceal his excitement and yelled, “Come out quickly! Let me take a good look at you!”
Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm as she walked out.
Elder Wan Zheng took two steps out and sized her up carefully. After confirming that she was really unharmed, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Chu Liuyue smiled and comforted, “Don’t worry, Mentor. I’m doing great.”
“You must’ve suffered a lot inside. How can you be good?” Seeing her face filled with smiles, Elder Wan Zheng felt his heart ache even more. “Don’t worry! From today onward, we won’t come here again!”
“Um… Mentor, it’s actually pretty nice here…” Chu Liuyue looked hesitant for once. I spent my days rather happily… I even picked up quite a few good items…
Elder Wan Zheng looked at her behavior and thought that she didn’t dare to go against Bo Yan in front of him, so he didn’t speak further. He patted her shoulders. “Good disciple!”
If the news of her being able to stay in Fiend Park for a month safely and even complete such a major breakthrough got out, who wouldn’t be envious of Wan Zheng having a good disciple?
Seeing that he had already confirmed a few things, Chu Liuyue couldn’t explain further and allowed him to carry on.
“You performed quite well this time.” At the side, Elder Bo Yan nodded in admiration after sizing Chu Liuyue up. “You’ve become much stabler and more mature.”
It seems like it was right to send Chu Yue here this time.
“Remember this lesson, and don’t make any more mistakes in the future.”
Chu Liuyue seriously answered, “Thank you for the teaching, Elder Bo Yan. I’ve benefited greatly this time.”
It was great to exchange blows with so many ninth-grade fiends and legendary fiends! Sigh, it’s a pity I don’t know when I can have this chance again.
Elder Bo Yan admired Chu Liuyue even more. “Good, good. It’s great that you can think in this manner.”
As he spoke, he sighed. “If only… Jun Jiuqing can think like you.”
