The Emperor Wants To Marry The Doctor

Chapter 1329: Soft-Hearted

“What did you say?” Elder Hua Feng instinctively asked in return.

As if mustering her courage, Chu Liuyue looked at him anxiously and expectantly. “If you don’t mind, I would like to offer myself and go with the elders to the Flood-Desert Northern Region.”

“No.” Elder Hua Feng’s first reaction was to reject her. Chu Yue wants to go too? Is he joking?

“I had already passed the test previously—”

“That was previously. Now is now.” Elder Hua Feng’s attitude was persistent. “How can that be the same?!”

At the very beginning, the academy had formed a large team that went together. It was fine if Chu Yue followed them at that time. But now, Bo Yan was the one who sent a message requesting support. I can choose a few elders, but what is with bringing Chu Yue along?

Chu Liuyue looked down slightly.

From where Elder Hua Feng was standing, he could coincidentally see the young man’s lashes that trembled slightly and his slightly pale lips that were tightly pressed against each other.

Anyone who saw this could sense the disappointment and regret in his heart.

Elder Hua Feng instantly felt conflicted. This child clearly didn’t say much, but why do I feel so bad for him? Both logically and emotionally, I can’t let Chu Yue go over!

...

Elder Hua Feng rubbed his temples and advised, “Chu Yue, you’re still young. You have many opportunities in the future! Why harp on this one time, right?”

Chu Liuyue looked up at him. “But didn’t you just say that some elders have stayed in the academy for more than a hundred years, yet they didn’t even get the chance to see the Xuan formation... Won’t I have even less hope?”

“...”

It’s all because of your wretched mouth! Elder Hua Feng instantly wanted to retract whatever he had said previously. “T-this is just an exception. It can’t represent everything—”

“All the students who previously passed the assessment should’ve gone over, except for me...” Chu Liuyue sighed in loneliness. She forced a smile, but she looked even uglier than if she were crying.

“Forget it. You’re right, Elder. I shouldn’t be focused on what’s in front of me. I couldn’t go the previous time, and I can’t go now, but I might have chances in the future!”

When Elder Hua Feng heard this, his eyelids twitched! Why does this sound so awkward?! I really didn’t consider bringing Chu Yue alone. After all, it is really rather strange for a few elders to bring a student along. However, Chu Yue was indeed the only one who couldn’t go with those people back then...

Actually, which student in the academy didn’t want to go?

Even though the Flood-Desert Northern Region was famous in the God Residence Realm for being very dangerous, with so many people going together, it would still be much safer overall.

Even if one didn’t have a fateful encounter, they could still use this chance to strengthen their abilities! It was understandable that Chu Yue felt awful for not being able to go.

Elder Hua Feng walked over. “There’s no room for discussion about this. Go back!”

Chu Liuyue sighed. “It seems like I really don’t have this luck. In the future, I’ll just obediently stay at Jiuheng Peak and produce my pills...”

Elder Hua Feng paused in his tracks and was so angry that his teeth felt itchy. He turned around and rapidly walked to Chu Liuyue, giving her a slap on the back of her head immediately. “This kid—you even dare to threaten me?!”

“Hiss... It hurts, elder! Pain!” Chu Liuyue immediately held the back of her head and took a step back.

“How could it hurt? I didn’t even use any force!” Elder Hua Feng literally wanted to press the person in front of him down and beat him up. The moment he raised his hand, he saw Chu Liuyue staring at him pitifully.

Her pair of black, gem-like eyes were clear and bright, looking like they had rays of light circulating in them, and they were as bright as stars.

Elder Hua Feng paused in his actions and suddenly couldn’t hit him. This gaze... is so familiar!

“Elder—” Chu Liuyue blinked and called him. Then, she smiled and curved her eyes up. “Elder, just agree to me this once! I promise I won’t be a burden! Not to mention others, but I do have the ability to protect myself!”

Let’s not forget that her fiend was a red-gold heavenly phoenix, one of the two ancient legendary fiends!

Elder Hua Feng looked at her, and his expression suddenly became complicated. That hand trembled slightly but finally got retracted as he turned around to leave.

Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment and was rather confused. W-what does that mean?

“Aren’t you going to come over!?” Elder Hua Feng—who had walked for a distance—turned back to glance at her. “Why are you still standing over there?!”

Chu Liuyue smiled in surprise. “I’m coming!”

...

In this manner, Elder Hua Feng brought Chu Liuyue along and continuously went to invite a few elders.

In the beginning, he didn’t state the specific reason and just said that some problems had arisen in the Flood-Desert Northern Region, so Elder Bo Yan wanted to send more people over.

The few elders didn’t doubt anything else, and all agreed. After handling the matters in their hands quickly, they followed Elder Hua Feng to where the transportation formation was.

Of course, Chu Liuyue followed him the entire way.

Although the few elders found it strange, they didn’t ask further.

The position of this special transportation formation wasn’t hidden, but as there were many layers of barriers outside that covered a huge area, it was hard to get close to it. Even if people knew that it was here, an average person wouldn’t even be able to get close to it, let alone enter.

Chu Liuyue’s gaze swept across the few layers of barriers, and she was secretly shocked. Ling Xiao Academy is indeed very careful in regards to this Xuan formation.

“Hua Feng, you guys are here!” Elder Long Ze—who had waited for quite some time—immediately welcomed him. When he saw Chu Liuyue, he couldn’t help but be dazed and gazed at Elder Hua Feng questioningly. “Hua Feng, why did this kid follow too?”

Elder Hua Feng coughed. “Oh, this! He’s coming with us!”

Once he said this, the entire venue instantly fell into dead silence.
