The night sky is dark and the mountain breeze is silent.
As those monsters retreated, the thick bloody smell and murderous intent that filled the air seemed to quietly dissipate.
The surrounding area became quiet and gradually returned to its original appearance.
Elder Yu Yu's hanging heart finally dropped.
This is indeed the best ending.
Chu Liuyue's gaze swept across the dark mountain forest, and the still water was slightly rippled.
"Wait, Yu Yu, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Elder Wan Zheng suddenly reacted.
"Do you think Chu Yue will continue to stay here for the rest of the time?"
"ah?"
Elder Yu Yu was also confused and subconsciously looked at Elder Boyan.
"But I said one month before, and it has only been less than ten days, so I thought..."
No one said that Chu Yue will be sent back from today!
He naturally thought that it would continue, so he said that.
"Bo Yan! Tell me! Should this punishment continue?"
Elder Wan Zheng asked with his eyes widened.
His precious disciple narrowly escaped death here and almost confessed to being here. He didn't believe that Boyan had the nerve to let Chu Yue continue to stay!
Elder Boyan also had a headache.
He sent Chu Yue here because he wanted to teach him a lesson and temper his temper, so that he would not always be ignorant of the importance and go out boldly to cause trouble.
But I didn't expect that something like this would happen.
He could clearly see the situation just now. It was indeed dangerous.
If Chu Yue hadn't been so outstanding, they might not have been able to rescue him for a while.
After this incident, the lessons and warnings given to Chu Yue should be enough, and it would be okay to just leave.
But
Elder Boyan felt a little inexplicably aggrieved when he thought about the various punishments they gave him every time he made a mistake, but it seemed to be of no use.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke:
"Since he has already experienced this here, then...just go back."
“Students want to stay here.”
Chu Liuyue suddenly spoke, interrupting Elder Boyan's words.
The three elders all looked at him in surprise.
"Disciple, what did you say?"
Elder Wan Zheng was startled and winked at her quickly.
What a great opportunity to leave here with integrity!
Why is this kid so stubborn
What's good about staying here
"You! Do you think today is not dangerous enough?"
Chu Liuyue smiled:
"Master, today is a special situation. It's all my fault that I was negligent and forgot not to break through in the animal garden, which caused all these troubles. I came here to accept punishment. It doesn't seem right if I stay for a few days and then leave. It’s a perfect fit. So, students are willing to stay here until the last day of the January term.”
His words were so sincere that Elder Wan Zheng originally wanted to persuade him a few more words, but after seeing the young man's firm look, he finally swallowed it.
He waved his hand and turned away.
"It's up to you! No matter what, you have to come out well for me, you know!?"
Chu Liuyue knew that he was sharp-tongued and had a crooked smile.
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely obey your orders!"
Chu Liuyue's words made Elder Boyan look at her with admiration.
Originally, he thought that Chu Yue would take this opportunity to leave directly.
The animal garden is dangerous, and after what happened today, Chu Yue should feel the same way about this.
Under such circumstances, it is really rare that he still chooses to stay.
It’s time to get to know this boy again
Elder Boyan thought secretly in his heart.
"Okay! Since Chu Yue said so, let's continue according to the previous agreement. As long as you stay safe during the remaining period, these monsters will not deliberately embarrass you."
After all, with the lessons learned from the past, anyone who wants to deal with Chu Yue must think again.
Chu Liuyue nodded:
"Thank you, Elder Boyan."
Elder Yu Yu next to him seemed to suddenly think of something, his expression changed slightly, and he looked at Chu Liuyue carefully for a few times, his eyes full of inquiry:
"Wait a minute, Chu Yue, how do you know you can't break through in the animal garden?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people fell silent at the same time.
When the three elders met, they each stated that they had not told Chu Yue about this matter.
But he just said that he had forgotten
"Except for the elders who are responsible for patrolling here, almost no one knows about this matter. But you have known about it for a long time?"
I don’t blame Elder Yu Yu for being suspicious, but this matter is indeed strange.
Because there are very few people who know this, and even fewer people know that Chu Yue is being held here.
How did Chu Yue know
Under the scrutiny of the three people, Chu Liuyue's expression did not change and she chuckled:
"Senior Brother Rong Xiu told me."
Elder Boyan's eyebrows moved slightly:
"He doesn't know that you were imprisoned here."
In fact, this matter was decided upon by him and Elder Wan Zheng together, and before that, Rong Xiu had already gone to another place to accept his punishment.
Monk Ouyang Yusen would know because he said it when he was on Wanjiu Mountain.
Ke Rongxiu definitely didn’t.
Chu Liuyue paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and said:
"This is what Senior Brother Rong Xiu specifically told me before I came to the academy."
The three of them looked at each other.
This explanation seems to make sense.
After all, Rong Xiu had even left it to him how to open the academy's barrier, so what else could he not say
In this way, it seems quite normal for Chu Yue to know this.
"Humph, he teaches you some messy things all day long."
Elder Wan Zheng snorted coldly.
The good ones are not taught, but the bad rules are taught.
Most students in this animal garden can't come yet, so Rong Xiu said this directly. Could it be that he had expected Chu Yue to come here
"Forget it. It's good that you know, but you must not be careless again in the future."
Elder Boyan warned.
"It's getting late, so we'll go back first."
Chu Liuyue saluted respectfully:
"Elder, walk slowly, master, walk slowly."
After handling these matters, Chu Liuyue returned to the mountain peak where she was before.
Halfway up the mountain, Arqiong was still guarding there. When he saw Chu Liuyue coming back, the last trace of worry in his eyes finally dissipated.
Chu Liuyue walked over:
"Okay, those troubles have been solved. Let's go back first and I'll take a good look at it."
Arqiong nodded, lovingly rubbed the Steelback Beast cub lying on the ground, and then took it into the cave.
After walking in, Chu Liuyue helped it conduct a detailed inspection.
"Don't worry, most of the skin and flesh wounds on its body will be healed after a period of good care."
Chu Liuyue had to be thankful that the steel-spine beast's physical strength was so powerful that it could still breathe a sigh of relief even after being injured like this.
She touched the Steelspine cub's head.
"I owe you mother and son this time, and I will repay it a hundred times in the future. Let me give you a name! Just call it - Taotao! I hope you will always be as innocent, naughty, healthy and worry-free as you are now."
