96 Lousy Carriage

A thought flashed across Chu Liuyue’s mind. His behavior at the banquet was deliberate, but… why?

“Your Highness, you…” Chu Liuyue wanted the situation clarified, but Rong Xiu had straightened himself.

“You’ve had a busy day. I won’t bother you.” Rong Xiu put his cloak over himself and left. His tall, dark silhouette disappeared in the night.

Chu Liuyue only sighed with relief after she stared in the direction Rong Xiu disappeared in for a while. She then curled her fingers.

Just now… Rong Xiu was so close to her, and her heart had begun to speed up.

In theory, she would never let someone ‘disrespect’ her like this, but… she did not seem to dislike Rong Xiu’s closeness. For some reason, she seemed to believe that Rong Xiu would not harm her.

She did not know where her sense of trust came from.

That was expected. How could someone of Prince Li’s status have dealings with Chu Liuyue? Even if she was in Tian Lu Academy and was a prodigious warrior and Xuan Master, there was a huge gap between herself and Prince Li since she didn’t have the big families’ support.

On the other hand, Chu Ning was the Imperial guards’ Commander in Chief—the Emperor’s close aide. Thus, he was of higher value. However, he was busy dealing with the Fourth Princess’s accident and did not appear at the restaurant. This disappointed many.

The few events coupled together reduced the people’s attention on Chu Liuyue.

Thankfully, Yan Ge was there the whole time, which helped Chu Liuyue a lot. It was also his presence that suppressed any ideas anyone would have.

No matter what, Chu Liuyue had the backing of Zhen Bao Pavilion and was not to be trifled with.

…

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, school had reopened.

This was Chu Liuyue’s first day of classes since she entered the academy.

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Quite a number of people were at the academy’s gates, which made it seem rather lively.

Everyone had witnessed Chu Liuyue’s talent. Though she had chosen to cultivate as a Xuan Master, she had not chosen a teacher yet.

All the Xuan Master teachers were excited. Everyone wanted a talented disciple!

Today was her first day in school. Of course, they could not miss the chance to get close to her!

Bai Chen did not have much hope about getting chosen, but he liked Chu Liuyue from the bottom of his heart, so he was happy to be here.

“Everything on this carriage is your belongings, right?”

“Yes. They’re just daily necessities.”

“Then, I’ll get someone to help you…”

Before Bai Chen could finish, a mocking voice cut him off. “What kind of lousy carriage is this? Someone also has the guts to park it in front of the school?”

“Yeah! So what if she’s a prodigy? She’s still just as poor. What a joke!”

Bai Chen’s expression changed, and he was about to scold them, but Chu Liuyue stopped him.

“Teacher Bai Chen, I know that carriages cannot enter the academy, but I have quite the number of items. Could you get someone to help me?”

Bai Chen paused and then said, “Of course!’

Chu Liuyue smiled as she looked at Lu Feiyan and company. “Then, you all will do.”
