The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

Chapter 1291: Saved Before

During the next few days, Chu Liuyue stayed at Jiuheng Peak obediently. For some reason, Big Baby never appeared again.

Chu Liuyue didn’t know where he went and didn’t know how she should look for him, so she simply stayed at her own place and cultivated peacefully.

Sometimes, she would study the Xuan formation Big Baby left behind. Other times, she would read Elder Wan Zheng’s Physician Medicinal Guide.

Originally, Chu Liuyue thought that these two aspects would use up a lot of brainpower and energy. After all, with her current abilities, it was still rather hard for her to understand these things. However, she very quickly discovered that things were different from what she had imagined.

She didn’t feel that these two things were too difficult when learning. Sometimes… she would even find it familiar for some reason. It was as if… she originally knew how to do it.

Chu Liuyue hid her thoughts very well and cultivated peacefully as usual.

Her only worry now was Tuan Zi. The one-month deadline had come, yet Tuan Zi hadn’t exited yet.

She didn’t know how it had been doing during this period of time.?According to what the legendary three-eyed eagle said before, such a long duration should be enough to trigger Tuan Zi’s bloodline power completely. The more uneasy thing is that Million Wine Mountain’s opening day keeps getting pushed back.?

Many students were confused by this, but most of them wouldn’t find out why. After all, to them, Million Wine Mountain was just a place they could rest and relax. Even if it were closed for one month or three to five months, it wouldn’t have a great impact.

However, Chu Liuyue felt something unusual about it.

There were a few times she had tried to ask about Million Wine Mountain, but it was all to no avail. In the end, as she was afraid of arousing suspicion, she could only calm down temporarily and wait silently.

Now, no news was probably the best news…

…

Before the news of Million Wine Mountain being opened came, Chu Liuyue met another person—Shang Yulin.

The moment she saw him, Chu Liuyue knew what he was here for.

“Greetings, Elder.” Chu Liuyue bowed respectfully.

Shang Yulin glanced at Jiuheng Peak behind her and couldn’t help but say, “Rong Xiu really thinks highly of you. Not only did he bring you to Million Wine Mountain, but he even let you stay here.”

He shrugged his shoulders. “You need to know that even we don’t have this right.”

Chu Liuyue smiled and asked, “Did you come for that thing today?”

Shang Yulin laughed out loud. “I didn’t expect you to be more direct than me! I’ll be straightforward!”

“You helped me so much previously. If I still beat around the bush now, won’t it be too overboard?”

Chu Liuyue’s words worked very well with Shang Yulin. “Okay! We won’t talk any more nonsense then. Let’s go!”

Chu Liuyue was dazed. “Go? Go where?”

Shang Yulin glanced at her strangely. “To my territory, of course! You wouldn’t want to show it to me here, right?”

Chu Liuyue pondered for a moment and agreed.

After all, it was a rare treasure. Besides, other than those elders in the academy, the students basically didn’t know about this.

If Shang Yulin wanted to study it properly, he had to choose a safe and discreet place. It was best to go to his place.

Chu Liuyue nodded. “Elder, you’re wise.”

…

Shang Yulin stayed at the Armory Refinement Master area.

It was the first time Chu Liuyue had come here, and she couldn’t help but feel curious.

It was different from the other three areas that were crowded. In contrast, it was very cold and lonely here. If it weren’t because one could feel the faint strong aura in the mountain area, Chu Liuyue would’ve thought that there was nobody around.

But after Chu Liuyue came here, she felt that it was very different.

The mountains in the innermost area were all bald, and most of them were burned. It seemed like they had ended up in this state because they had triggered too many bolts of lightning.

In the mountains, all sorts of rare armory refinement materials outside could be found anywhere here as if they didn’t cost money. There were even some failed Yuan instruments that gathered together like a small hill.

Actually, not all of them were damaged. Some of them didn’t meet the Armory Refinement Master’s own standard, so they were casually thrown away.

Just based on those few at the edges, Chu Liuyue could confirm that people would definitely be willing to lose an arm and a leg for it if they were brought out. However, it was clear that they didn’t have such intentions.

Chu Liuyue surveyed her surroundings and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.?The Armory Refinement Master elders are indeed carefree and rich…?

“Some of those Yuan instruments should be usable, right? Won’t it be a pity if they are just thrown away like that?” After walking a further distance inside, Chu Liuyue couldn’t help but ask this.

Shang Yulin followed her vision and looked over as he nonchalantly shook his head. “What’s so good about those pieces of scrap? It’s fine if they’re thrown away. If they flow out, it’ll be humiliating.”

“…Oh.” Chu Liuyue silently acknowledged it.?I really don’t understand the Armory Refinement Master world.?

“Here—the inside is my residence.” Shang Yulin pointed to the front. “When I’m back at the academy, I stay there.”

Chu Liuyue took a glance and realized it was a normal-looking mountain. However, Shang Yulin’s words still caused her to be curious. “You… don’t stay in the academy?”

Shang Yulin nodded. “Yeah! Normally, I only stay here for about two months a year. This year’s situation is rather special, and I went into seclusion to break through, so I stayed until now.”

Chu Liuyue widened her eyes slightly. From what she knew, most of the academy elders lived in the academy. She hadn’t seen someone like Shang Yulin, who only stayed here for two months…

As if seeing through her confusion, Shang Yulin laughed out loud. “Why are you so shocked? I’m not the academy’s official elder, so I can’t stay here for long.”

Chu Liuyue was truly stunned this time. “Y-you’re not an official elder?”

“Yeah.” Shang Yulin flew forward, and Chu Liuyue followed closely behind him. “I’m from the Shang family of Mysterious Sky Residence. It’s already very hard for me to have the title of ‘elder’ in the academy. If it were someone else from a top-tier aristocratic family, they wouldn’t even be able to do this.”

Such a short sentence contained too much information.

Chu Liuyue’s brain worked quickly, and she rapidly understood.

Mysterious Sky Residence was the same as the Sky-Cloud Empire, and they were both top-tier clans in the God Residence Realm. Disciples with such backgrounds could study in Ling Xiao Academy, but they couldn’t be elders here.

“Ever since Ling Xiao Academy was established, there was this rule. It’s still the same even today. This is also the reason why the academy can maintain a neutral stance the entire time and have a balanced relationship with all the aristocratic families.”

Chu Liuyue nodded thoughtfully. “You must have your merits if you can be an elder, right?”

Shang Yulin laughed out loud. “You’re wrong! The reason why I could become half an elder in the academy is that… I had once saved the director’s precious disciple!”

Chu Liuyue’s heart harshly skipped a beat!
