Chapter 330: Find You

　　With Xue Xue’s help, Chu Liuyue returned home at the fastest speed. The lucky thing was that she reached before Chu Ning did.

　　About 15 minutes later, Chu Ning returned home.

　　“Father, how was the talk?” asked Chu Liuyue.

　　Chu Ning smiled. “Everything is settled.”

　　Chu Liuyue was a little surprised. “They called you back to discuss the matter of us returning, right? You…”

　　“I rejected them.” Chu Ning’s answer came very swiftly. “I also told them that we’d never return in the future.”

　　Chu Liuyue was stunned. “Then Master…”

　　“I went back today to make our stance clear so that I can give Master a proper explanation when he asks in the future.” Chu Ning looked at Chu Liuyue and sighed. “Because you’re the one that I want to protect the most in this world.”

　　Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm. She knew that Chu Ning had made a big concession for her, so she felt extra grateful and warm in her heart. “Thank you, Father.”

　　…

　　The next day, Chu Liuyue returned to the academy.

　　The huge fire had caused Jiuyou Tower to disappear completely, and the academy’s elders and teachers were busy handling the remaining items. Hence, many students were relatively freer now.

　　When Chu Liuyue went to look for Mu Hongyu, she coincidentally saw Liao Zhongshu.

　　“Liuyue!” Mu Hongyu was very excited when she saw Chu Liuyue come over. “Thank you so much! I’ve already written a letter to Father, and he’ll bring Mother over not long later.”

　　Chu Liuyue was also very happy. “That’s great. However, the journey is quite long, so Auntie has to suffer a little.”

　　“No need to worry! Even though Mother isn’t suited for moving much, Father immediately found a few strong and capable elders to bring Mother over safely once he heard that you asked Lieutenant Mu for help. They should be here real soon. I really don’t know how to thank you.”

　　Originally, Mu Hongyu didn’t harbor much hope when she first asked Chu Liuyue for help.

　　After all, Mu Qinghe was the envoy from the Tianling Dynasty, and he had a distinguished status. Even Emperor Jiawen might not be able to ask him for help, let alone Chu Liuyue.

　　Mu Hongyu didn’t expect Chu Liuyue to be the only one chosen and that she had really convinced Lieutenant Mu to help her.

　　“I didn’t expect to trouble Lieutenant Mu to get someone over from the Tianling Dynasty… I really owe you a huge favor for this matter.”

　　“It’s okay. I also want to see what Tianling Dynasty’s heavenly doctors are like.” Chu Liuyue’s lips curved up slightly. After ‘she’ died, I wonder what happened to the others except for Mu Qinghe.

　　Mu Hongyu’s eyes lit up. “Oh yes! Speaking of heavenly doctors, Liuyue, you can actually make pills! We didn’t even know about this before! You were too secretive about it!”

　　Chu Liuyue could be considered as a true heavenly doctor now that she could make pills.

　　In the entire Country Yao Chen, there were very few people with such abilities, let alone Chu Liuyue, who was still so young!

　　“I long said that you were definitely much more capable than we had imagined, but I didn’t expect—Pfft!” grunted Mu Hongyu as she glanced at Liao Zhongshu. “The Red Blood Gu in your body was treated by Liuyue! You definitely knew about this long ago!”

　　Liao Zhongshu smiled helplessly and shook his head. “I really didn’t know.”

　　It was a pity that the others didn’t believe it.

　　Previously, he was still pretending to be poisoned and lay in bed, so he didn’t participate in the Qing Jiao Competition.

　　When he heard that Chu Liuyue actually produced a pill and snatched away first place in the heavenly doctor competition, he was stunned for a very long time.

　　Later on, he slowly realized that Chu Liuyue was the actual person who saved his life.

　　Mu Hongyu wrinkled her nose and was too lazy to argue with him; she was more interested in other things. “Liuyue, when will you head to the Tianling Dynasty with Lieutenant Mu?”

　　Chu Liuyue shook her head. “We haven’t confirmed it yet. He seems to want to stay around here for a while. Besides… he wants to observe me. If I can’t reach his requirements, I still can’t go.”

　　“Huh? So troublesome?” Mu Hongyu looked disappointed. “I thought you would go there directly!”

　　Chu Liuyue smiled. “I’m not even anxious myself; why are you so worried?”

　　“I’m not worried, but that’s the Tianling Dynasty!” Mu Hongyu held her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with expectations. “Who doesn’t want to go to such a place? Liuyue, do you think every single one of the people there are talents? Everything there must be much better than what we have!”

　　“Might not be,” said Chu Liuyue lightly.

　　Mu Hongyu paused. “How did you know that?”

　　Chu Liuyue paused and realized that she had made a mistake. Something flashed across her eyes, and she smiled. “…I guessed it. If everything was great, why did Lieutenant Mu spend so much effort to come here?”

　　“Your words do make sense!” Mu Hongyu’s eyeballs turned, and she suddenly thought of something. “Oh yes! Since you took first place in the Qing Jiao Competition, you chose to go to Tai Yan Academy’s library to read a month’s worth of books. However, Lieutenant Mu has already chosen you. Are you still going?”

　　Even though this was also a very rare opportunity, it wasn’t worth mentioning when compared to the Tianling Dynasty.

　　Unexpectedly, Chu Liuyue answered without hesitation. “I’m going. I plan to talk to Lieutenant Mu about this today.”

　　“What?!” Mu Hongyu and Liao Zhongshu were shocked.

　　“Are you serious? You really want to go?! Liuyue, do you know how many people want a chance to go to the Tianling Dynasty like you but can’t have it? You actually chose to go to Tai Yan Academy?” Mu Hongyu widened her eyes and felt that Chu Liuyue’s decision was unbelievable.

　　Liao Zhongshu was about to speak when he suddenly remembered the Red Blood Gu and swallowed his remaining words.

　　Chu Liuyue smiled. “I have my own plans.”

　　In actual fact, she did not really plan to stay there for a month. As long as there was anything happening on Mu Qinghe’s side, she would come back immediately.

　　Moreover… Even though Mu Qinghe didn’t say anything, according to Chu Liuyue’s understanding of him, he should be planning to stay here for a period of time.

　　Chu Liuyue didn’t think that he was going to stay for her. Hence, she was also pretty curious about this.

　　Mu Hongyu still wanted to say something more, but she gave up when she saw Chu Liuyue’s determined expression. “Okay then. When are you going? Tai Yan Academy’s people seemed to have left today. Our academy’s Elder and Nan Feng Academy’s Elder Wei Yun have also gone with them.”

　　Chu Liuyue instantly understood the situation—it was clearly to investigate Heng Jingchuo.

　　She thought for a moment. “It’s not too late for me to leave when your mother is back.”

　　Mu Hongyu was stunned, and tears welled up in her eyes. “Liuyue, thank you.”

　　“It’s nothing much.” Chu Liuyue curled her lips slightly.

　　Mu Hongyu suddenly said, “Oh yes, Chu Xianmin was looking for you after you went home yesterday.”
