Chapter 1142 - Be Good, Don’t Cause Trouble

This voice didn’t come from Rong Xiu’s mouth, but Chu Liuyue still heard it clearly. It was low, hoarse, and seductive.

Chu Liuyue was dazed for a moment, but she quickly recovered her senses and dangerously squinted at him. She didn’t believe that Rong Xiu did not know about this. “It’s just a trip to Million Wine Mountain.”

“Million Wine Mountain?” Rong Xiu raised his sharp brows slightly. As if he thought of something, strange and incomprehensible smiling intent appeared in his eyes. “It is a good place.”

She just came back to the academy, and she is going there already…

“What, we can’t go to Million Wine Mountain?” Chu Liuyue blinked. Rong Xiu doesn’t seem to be praising Million Wine Mountain when he talks about it.

“Why not?” Rong Xiu smiled and lightly pecked her lips. “Go early and come back early. When you’re there, be obedient and don’t cause trouble.”

Chu Liuyue was speechless. I’m just going to play with a few friends, not pick a fight. Why does Rong Xiu sound like I’m going to do something bad purposely?

“Why is there no sound at all? Is he really not around?” This was Zhuo Sheng’s voice. “‘Why don’t we go somewhere else to look for him?”

“He shouldn’t be… Since we already agreed…” muttered Luo Shishi.

“Let’s go in and take a look. If there’s nobody else, we’ll think of another way,” said Luo Yanming as he stepped in and was about to push the door open.

Chu Liuyue knitted her brows.

The moment the door opened, Rong Xiu’s figure had disappeared from within the room.

“Chu Yue?” Seeing Chu Liuyue sitting cross-legged on the bed, Luo Yanming was dazed for a moment. “‘We were calling for you just now. Why didn’t you answer?”

Chu Liuyue slowly breathed out and gently jumped down from the bed. “Nothing much. I was too engrossed in thinking of a formula, so I didn’t hear you.”

The light in the room was very dim. Hence, the few of them couldn’t see Chu Liuyue’s slightly red and swollen lips, as well as her dewy eyes.

Chu Liuyue smiled. “Let’s go!”

Million Wine Mountain.

When the few of them arrived, the moon was already high in the sky.

The bright moon shone down and cast faint shadows in the forest. The night wind blew slowly, and the leaves rustled.

One could hear crisp noises from time to time.

Chu Liuyue leaned in to listen carefully and realized that there seemed to be a cacophony coming from the top of the mountain.

“Today is the beginning of the month, so many students will be here,” explained Luo Shishi from the side as if she had seen through Chu Liuyue’s intentions. “We came here a little late, but Fourth Brother had already helped us reserve a seat earlier. Therefore, we can just directly go over.”

Chu Liuyue then realized that Million Wine Mountain had so many rules.

“Can’t everyone come here? Why is it so troublesome?” asked Chu Liuyue rather casually.

“Of course, it’s because of the fountain!” Zhuo Sheng—who was walking in front—suddenly turned back and chuckled. “It seems like you really don’t know! Rumors have it that the water that oozes out of the fountain is very beneficial to a cultivator’s health! Sometimes, it can even help them break through to a higher level! Hence, the nearer one is to the fountain, the more precious it is! Today is the beginning of the month, and most people will come around, so it’ll be extremely difficult to get seats!”

Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding and roughly guessed what happened.

Everyone had been busy during the day. Now that they had a chance and a place to relax, they naturally wouldn’t miss it.

The new students who passed the test wanted to come and celebrate. The old students who got onto the Qing Yun Ranking would also come to celebrate.

Even those disappointed ones who were beaten would inevitably want to drink their sorrows away.

There was no surprise as to why this place was bustling with people.

“Is that fountain really that magical?” In comparison, Chu Liuyue was more curious about this. She had seen quite a few heavenly treasures, but she had never heard of this.

Water coming out of a fountain actually had such shocking effects. It definitely made one curious.

“Hehe, I’ve only heard about it! We’ll know the exact effects ourselves when we go up, don’t you think?” Zhuo Sheng said without a care.

Clearly, he didn’t really care about these rumors. He cared about whether they could have a fun time at night!

Chu Liuyue didn’t ask further and continued to go up.

The nearer they were to the mountain peak, the clearer the bustle. There seemed to be sounds of a stream of water splashing down.

Chu Liuyue looked over in the direction of the sound. It was a pity that one couldn’t see clearly into the thick forest and could only forcefully see a stream of water flowing down.

The moonlight shone on it, and the water rippled.

It doesn’t seem like anything special___

“Zhuo Sheng, why did you only come now?” On the mountain, a carefree young man’s voice sounded suddenly. “We all thought that you weren’t coming anymore!”

Following this, Chu Liuyue saw a few people come down from above.

Zhuo Sheng laughed out loud. “Haha! Won’t it be very meaningless if we don’t come?”

Hearing their exchange, Chu Liuyue knew their identities—they were also students that the Xuan Master side recruited just today. The first person that talked to Zhuo Sheng was their senior brother, who came to the academy a year ago.

The coincidental thing was that he already knew Zhuo Sheng beforehand. Hence, the two parties seemed quite close.

Afterward, Zhuo Sheng introduced the two parties’ identities.

After they heard the name ‘Chu Yue,’ the few people’s gazes paused on Chu Liuyue for a moment longer. However, most of their attention was still on Luo Shishi.

This was especially so for the young man who initially greeted Zhuo Sheng. He treated Luo Shishi very enthusiastically.

Everyone could tell that he was interested in Luo Shishi, and it wasn’t hard to tell from the conversation that they already knew each other earlier on.

However, Luo Shishi didn’t seem to be interested in him as she maintained her reserved and polite attitude, not even talking much.

The group of them went to the mountain peak amidst this slightly strange atmosphere.

Million Wine Mountain was actually a very tall mountain with a spacious peak that could accommodate many people at once.

As the bright moon shone down, the atmosphere was perfect. Together with the intensely fresh alcohol fragrance, it caused one to be intoxicated.

From afar, Chu Liuyue smelled the strange fragrance.

She wrinkled her nose slightly and took a deep breath in. Then, she instantly felt the intoxicating alcohol fragrance spread throughout her chest.

However, this fragrance wouldn’t cause one to truly lose their senses. Hence, the elders in the academy would normally turn a blind eye to the students relaxing here.

After Chu Liuyue went up the mountain, she immediately saw the fountain right in the middle..
