These simple words contained so much confidence that Chu Liuyue couldn't accept it for a while and was silent for a rare moment.
She seized the venerable artifact that the academy had finally regained.
Rong Xiu came back holding her unconscious.
The two of them just stayed in his room, letting the elders outside wait.
Chu Liuyue rubbed her temples.
She felt that there was no need for her to go out.
In this situation, once she crosses that threshold, she may be dead!
Tuk Tuk.
There was a knock on the door.
A young man's cautious voice came from outside.
"Senior Brother Rongxiu, are Junior Brother Chu Yue awake? Elder Wan Zheng and the others are very worried. They all said that if they haven't woken up yet, they want to come in and have a look."
Chu Liuyue: "."
Rong Xiu couldn't help laughing when he saw her pitiful expression.
After a moment, he raised his voice slightly and said:
"Go and tell the elders that she is awake. After a short rest, I will take her there."
"yes."
The man's attitude towards Rong Xiu was also very respectful. After a soft response, he left quickly.
Chu Liuyue closed her eyes in despair.
"Will I really not be beaten to death if I go out?"
Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly:
"Who dares?"
Although there was a smile on his face, his tone was slightly raised, with a hint of coercion, domineering and strong.
But this look only flashed for a moment.
He got out of bed first, and then took the person on the bed out of the quilt.
"Are you going to get dressed yourself, or should I help you?"
In fact, in order to make it easier for Chu Liuyue to rest, he only took off her outer garment, while the clothes underneath were still in good condition.
But when the words came out of his mouth, they were inexplicably ambiguous.
Chu Liuyue glared at him.
"It's already this time, are you still in the mood to joke?"
I don’t know how to deal with those group of elders when I go out later!
Rong Xiu kissed her face, then reluctantly put her down and said with a faint smile:
"It seems that you are really worried about what the elders will do to you. It's really rare."
Chu Liuyue had just put on Waishan and was arranging her hair when she heard this and looked back at him.
"What?"
"nothing."
Rong Xiu looked as usual, with a slight smile on his thin lips.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. On the one hand, the incident with the Venerable Divine Artifact was an accident and was not intentional on your part. On the other hand, you saved me, so I should stay and take care of you."
With Rong Xiu here, Chu Liuyue felt a little at ease.
She was actually just thinking about how to deal with the elders' cross-examination.
After all, there were too many things that she had to explain clearly.
She took a deep breath.
"Let's go!"
The hall was silent.
Several elders sat in an array.
Wei Xiping and others have been sent back by them long ago, and those who are still here are all important figures in Lingxiao Academy.
Even Elder Boyan, who was not involved in the incident outside, came.
No one spoke.
Everyone's look is different, but they are all quite complicated.
From time to time, some people looked at Elder Wan Zheng sitting in front.
Elder Wan Zheng could only pretend not to see it.
In fact, he really doesn't have the heart to care about what these people think or think.
His mind was filled with the images from before.
He thought he had a talented apprentice, and he had always been quite proud of it.
But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that this apprentice was hiding too deeply!
Moreover, he is too capable of causing trouble!
Now even he doesn't know how to excuse that kid!
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Everyone in the hall immediately looked up!
Only two figures were seen, walking one behind the other.
Walking in front was Rong Xiu, who had already changed his clothes.
And one step behind him was Chu Liuyue, whom everyone was waiting for.
The two walked into the hall.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on them.
To be precise, they were basically looking at Chu Liuyue.
In fact, usually when Rong Xiu appears in the academy, he will be the focus of everyone's attention.
And it is very rare that he appears with other people, but everyone ignores him.
Even if Chu Liuyue lowered her eyes slightly, she could still feel those substantial gazes falling on her, making her feel like a light on her back.
"Rong Xiu has met all the elders. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Rong Xiu saluted politely and calmly.
Chu Liuyue followed:
"Student Chu Yue, please pay homage to the elders."
For a moment, no one spoke.
Chu Liuyue felt more and more that the situation was not good.
Fortunately, Elder Boyan was the first to speak.
"Rong Xiu, please sit down first."
Rong Xiu shook his head and said with a smile:
"Elders are here, how dare Rong Xiu sit with you?"
Rong Xiu declined, but Elder Boyan did not continue to persuade him.
Anyway, his temperament has always been like this. He always only listens to his own ideas about what he wants to do and what he doesn't do. No matter what others say, it's useless.
Therefore, Elder Boyan simply turned his attention to Chu Liuyue.
This was the first time he had looked at the new student so closely.
Although I was deeply impressed by this student before, I was unable to take a closer look.
But today, I had to take a closer look.
In fact, he was no stranger to the name "Chu Yue".
From successfully passing the assessment at the beginning of the month and becoming Wan Zheng's apprentice, to being imprisoned in Peng Minshan one day after entering the academy.
Any one of these will be impressive.
What's more, there was such a big fuss today.
"Chu Yue?"
Elder Boyan stroked his beard and looked quite calm.
"Are you feeling better?"
Chu Liuyue said quickly:
"The student is doing much better. Thank you Elder Boyan for your concern."
"snort."
Suddenly there was a cold sneer from the side.
"Do you really think this cares about you? If it weren't for the fact that you occupied that venerable artifact—"
"Guanhe."
Elder Boyan raised his voice slightly and gave him a warning look.
Elder Guan He snorted angrily and turned away.
"Did I say something wrong? Everyone in the academy planned for months and gathered all the forces to finally wait until the thing was born and brought it back. But before he even entered the academy, it became his thing! This thing No matter what happens, he must give an explanation!"
There was no concealment of reproach to Chu Liuyue in his words.
Elder Boyan frowned and was about to say something, but Rong Xiu had already spoken first:
"Elder Guan He's words are wrong. It's good that the venerable artifact was hard-earned, and it's good that it now belongs to Junior Brother Chu Ning. But, you can't blame her for this matter."
Elder Guan He's expression changed.
"Rong Xiu, are you trying to excuse him? In order to bring that thing back safely, you went through a lot of hardships, but in the end -"
After all, the thing had always been on Rong Xiu, and he was the one who was under siege.
He is considered one of the most vocal among these people.
Rong Xiu smiled slightly.
"It's not that I want to excuse her. What I said is the truth."
