The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

She looked at Elder Hua Feng sincerely. "That must be because Elder Hua Feng is the most amazing one, right?"

Elder Hua Feng couldn't hide his happiness and stroked his beard. "Hehe, no, no! There are many hidden experts in the academy and countless amazing elders. To be more accurate, one person can't maintain that Xuan formation alone, so it can only work with a few elders working together. I'm just one of them—it's not worth a mention!"

Even though he said this, anyone who saw his overjoyed expression would know that Chu Liuyue had hit the right spot.

As this Xuan formation was very special, those in charge of maintaining it had to be very strong and reliable. There were quite a few Xuan Master elders in the entire academy, and one could just imagine how competitive it was.

It was normal for Elder Hua Feng to be proud of this.

Chu Liuyue revealed a look of admiration. "I heard that the first director personally built it himself back then, and there's only this one transportation formation in the entire God Residence Realm that directly connects to the Flood-Desert Northern Region. If only I had the chance to see it personally."

As she spoke, momentary regret flashed across her face.

Elder Hua Feng knew that she was supposed to go initially, but as she fell sick, she didn't make it. She was young after all, and it was inevitable she would find this a pity.

"Actually, it's nothing much. Look, it's been so many years, and this is also the first time that Xuan formation has been activated, right? Many elders who have stayed in the academy for hundreds of years didn't even get to experience it! Such a chance can't be controlled. Chu Yue, don't take it to heart."

As Elder Hua Feng spoke, he gave Chu Liuyue a look. "Why don't you consider whether you should learn Xuan formations from me?"

Seemingly jokingly, Chu Liuyue replied, "Then, if I accept you as my mentor, would you bring me to take a look at that transportation formation?"

Elder Hua Feng just thought that she was being playful and patted his chest. "How difficult is that? When you break through to a certain stage, you might even be able to—"

Whoosh!

An air-piercing sound was heard.

Elder Hua Feng's voice suddenly trailed off, and he rapidly looked up.

Chu Liuyue also turned around to take a look.

It was a familiar elder.

"Hua Feng!" That elder was very fast and reached the two of them in the blink of an eye. His face was rosy, and his eyes were bright, looking very emotional.

"Hua Feng! Flood-Desert Northern Region—" He was about to say something when he saw Chu Liuyue standing at the side from the corner of his eye. Then, he immediately stopped.

Chu Liuyue silently raised her brows.

"Long Ze, what are you so happy about?" Elder Hua Feng laughed and asked.

Elder Long Ze was hesitant in his words.

Chu Liuyue immediately left sensibly. "Elders, you can slowly talk. I'll take my leave first."

Originally, Elder Hua Feng didn't mind that Chu Liuyue stayed here. However, Long Ze's expression made it seem like it was something serious, so he didn't stop her.

But he was worried that Chu Liuyue would leave just like that, and he didn't know when she would come again, so he hurriedly said, "Chu Yue, don't go back first. Wait over there. After I'm done with Long Ze, we can continue talking about you."

Chu Liuyue smiled and nodded. "Okay."

Then, she left obediently.

After Chu Liuyue's figure disappeared before their eyes, Elder Hua Feng then turned around to look at Elder Long Ze. "Say it! What's so mysterious?"

Elder Long Ze took a deep breath in and still couldn't conceal his excitement. He clenched his fists tightly and said emotionally, "The team in the Flood-Desert Northern Region sent news back—the Heavenly Square Cauldron has appeared!"

Elder Hua Feng was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Really?"

"Of course, Bo Yan's news is true! I was just standing guard by the transportation formation previously, and I immediately rushed over to tell you when I received the news!"

Elder Hua Feng was also over the moon as he walked two steps back. "That's great! Previously, I was still quite worried. I didn't expect them to meet with the Heavenly Square Cauldron appearing so quickly! Oh yes, what else did Bo Yan say?"

Elder Long Ze nodded. "He said that the situation there is rather urgent and that he needs us to send a few more people over to support them. Thus, I rushed over to discuss with you and see how to select the people."

"He wants to send more people over?" Hearing this, Elder Hua Feng was stunned. "We had previously already sent quite a few people over, right?"

More than 30 elders and roughly 300 students definitely still had an advantage even when compared to those aristocratic families.

"Yeah! In the beginning, I also found it weird, but that was indeed Bo Yan's message. And think about it. It's the Heavenly Square Cauldron—one of the top ten holy weapons in the God Residence Realm! Many parties are vying for it, and the competition is intense. Even if we don't go for that item, we still have to protect ourselves, right?"

Elder Hua Feng thought for a moment. "Did Bo Yan say how many people he needed?"

"He didn't specify, but I think… at least seven or eight elders from the academy?"

This number sounded low, but it was already a lot when counted with those who had already gone over. After all, the entire academy only had a hundred-plus elders, and most of them still had to be stationed here.

Elder Hua Feng nodded. "We can still find seven or eight people. How about this? You can go back and continue guarding the transportation formation while I go and find other people."

"Okay!" Elder Long Ze quickly left.

Elder Hua Feng thought in his heart for a while and rapidly drafted a list.

His position in the academy wasn't low, so it wasn't a problem for him to send elders over.

Right at this moment, Chu Liuyue—who saw Elder Long Ze leave—finally walked in.

When Elder Hua Feng saw her, he then recalled that he had just said that he wanted to accept her as his disciple. However, this was clearly not a good time to continue discussing this. Hence, he said rather embarrassedly, "Chu Yue, I have some urgent matters to handle now. I'm afraid we have to push back on you becoming my disciple."

Actually, Chu Liuyue had already expected this. Judging by Elder Long Ze's behavior, something should've happened in the Flood-Desert Northern Region.

She smiled. "You can go on and do your things first. My side isn't urgent!"

Elder Hua Feng glanced at her in comfort. Although this kid regularly gets into trouble, he mostly still knows what to do at the right time.

Seeing that he seemed to be preparing to leave, Chu Liuyue's eyes flickered as she seemingly asked unintentionally, "Elder Hua Feng, did… something happen at the Flood-Desert Northern Region?"

Elder Hua Feng thought for a moment and felt that he wouldn't be able to hide this later on, so he nodded. "We need to pick a few more elders to go over."

He didn't state the reason, but Chu Liuyue immediately felt that this was the crux of the matter. So many of them have already gone previously. Why do they still need more now?

Her brows knitted undetectably as she tried to ask, "I have a special request—may I know if you'll agree?"

"Go ahead and say it." Elder Hua Feng waved his hands.

Chu Liuyue paused for a moment. "Could you… bring me along this time?"
