Chapter 1338: He Treats You Very Well

After Chu Liuyue and the others cultivated and rested at the original spot for a while, they continued on their journey.

That green jade plaque was practically useless, so Elder Hua Feng kept it.

Other than this, they didn’t have any other way to contact the other people from the academy. Hence, after some discussion, they decided to head toward the center of the Flood-Desert Northern Region!

The place where the Heavenly Square Cauldron would most likely appear should be there. If they continued walking there, they could meet other people from the aristocratic families, even if they couldn’t find the others from the academy.

Perhaps they could ask them what exactly happened.

After that previous incident, everyone else was much more alert, terrified that the same incident would happen again.

With how much force they had left… If it happened a few more times, they might really be unable to take it.

Luckily, everything seemed to become calm and stable afterward.

After walking for a very far distance, Chu Liuyue glanced at the sky.

The dark-gray clouds were gathered together in huge bunches, and the sky and ground were gloomy. However, there were no signs of it being nightfall.

Rumors had it that the Flood-Desert Northern Region was a very special place. With the changes over the past million years, its weather conditions and climate were very different from other places.

Daytime was extremely long here, and nighttime was only a short two hours. The day was cold, and the night was even colder.

In such an extremely cold place, it was indeed very hard for average people to continue staying here.

As the few of them walked on, they suddenly heard a few people faintly talking in front. But as they were rather far away, they couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly.

They looked up and could vaguely see a group of people going toward the snowfall in the vast snowy field.

Their direction was the same as Chu Liuyue and the rest, but perhaps because they were slower, Chu Liuyue and the rest managed to catch up with them.

“Who are they?” An elder tried his best to look over. “Judging from their clothes and disguise, they don’t seem like ordinary people… They should be from some top-tier aristocratic family?”

Chu Liuyue also followed his gaze and looked over.

With a rough calculation, there should be about a dozen-plus people. There were old ones and also young men and women.

At this point, those people seemed to have noticed something as they turned over.

“Who are you?!” one of the elders first yelled out alertly.

Elder Hua Feng boomed with his dantian, “I’m Ling Xiao Academy’s Hua Feng!”

The low and powerful voice spread far and wide!

In the God Residence Realm, Ling Xiao Academy’s reputation was very well-known. Other than a few who had grudges against them, most top-tier aristocratic families had to give them face. Hence, Elder Hua Feng dared to directly report his name.

As expected, when they heard him say this, the other party’s attitude immediately changed.

“Elder Hua Feng?!” The other party answered, and the tone was especially surprised.

Elder Hua Feng was about to ask them for their identities when he suddenly heard one of the young women walking over to this side. As she walked, she yelled happily, “Elder Hua Feng, it’s you guys!”

Elder Hua Feng and the others were originally quite confused, but as the woman walked closer, they instantly looked elated when they saw her appearance.

“Shi Rui’er?”

Shi Rui’er walked over and breathed heavily, her petite face slightly flushed. “That’s me! Greetings, Elders!”

As Shi Rui’er spoke, she even politely greeted Hua Feng and the rest. Then, she finally noticed Chu Liuyue at the back and was dazed for a moment.

But very quickly, she reacted and asked with some uncertainty, “You’re… Junior Brother Chu Yue?”

When Chu Liuyue heard the elders call out her name, she had already recalled this person’s identity—Shi Rui’er, Flying Star Sect’s Second Miss.

When the academy was calling people to go to Ancient Feather Abyss, Shi Rui’er was one of them.

Although the two of them weren’t exactly acquaintances, they did see each other a few times.

Chu Liuyue smiled and greeted her. “Greetings, Senior Sister Shi Rui’er.”

Shi Rui’er sized her up rather curiously, but her gaze was very controlled, without any meaning of offending her. “I heard that Senior Brother Rong Xiu is personally guiding you now?”

Chu Liuyue was rather shocked that she would ask this question first, but she still nodded sincerely. “It’s my honor to be able to receive Senior Brother Rong Xiu’s concern.”

“Pfft.” Shi Rui’er couldn’t help but cover her mouth and smile. “He’s not someone who will teach anyone. You naturally have your own abilities if he’s willing to think so highly of you. Besides, I saw your battle with Jin Lei that day. You don’t have to be too humble.”

Then, she looked left and right and asked in shock, “Hm? Why did Rong Xiu and the rest not follow you over?”

Elder Hua Feng shook his head. “Rong Xiu has something on, so he didn’t come with us this time.”

“I see…” Shock flashed across Shi Rui’er’s eyes.?According to my understanding of Rong Xiu, he would definitely come for such a rare chance. I didn’t expect him not to come this time…?

“What about the other elders? Did you guys separate?” asked Shi Rui’er curiously.

The expressions of Elder Hua Feng and the rest changed slightly.

Shi Rui’er instantly noticed something sharply, and her smile froze for a moment.

“We’re still looking for them.” Elder Hua Feng thought for a while and still chose to tell the truth.

Ling Xiao Academy and Flying Star Sect had frequent interactions, and their relationship wasn’t bad. If he told Shi Rui’er, perhaps they could still help.

“W-what does this mean?” Even though she had already guessed that the situation wasn’t optimistic, Shi Rui’er didn’t expect that Elder Hua Feng would say such words.

Then, Elder Hua Feng briefly explained the incidents to her.

Shi Rui’er’s gaze gradually became solemn.

“…So we don’t know where they are now either. We can only find them slowly.”

Shi Rui’er furrowed her brows tightly. “We’ve been here for about two days, but I’ve never seen Elder Bo Yan and the rest.”

Elder Hua Feng and the rest had actually expected this outcome, but they still couldn’t hide their disappointment when they heard this.

“Elder Hua Feng, since this is so, why don’t we work together and find them on the way? With an extra person, you’ll have more help, right?”

Hearing Shi Rui’er’s suggestion, the few elders naturally didn’t have any reason to reject it. They had very few people, so they weren’t very strong. Based on their own strength, they didn’t have any hope at all of finding so many people from the academy.

The remaining people from Flying Star Sect naturally expressed their agreement. After all, Shi Rui’er had the highest status out of all of them, and the Flying Star Sect and Ling Xiao Academy were on good terms. Hence, out of many considerations, they should help them this time.

After some slight discussion, the group of people started walking forward again.

Chu Liuyue was coincidentally walking on the right of Shi Rui’er. After thinking for a while, she asked, “Senior Sister Shi Rui’er, may I know if you have seen the Heavenly Square Cauldron appearing in the past two days?”

Shi Rui’er shook her head. “Nope. In between, we haven’t seen anyone at all.”

Chu Liuyue was slightly disappointed, but she still thanked her politely.

However, Shi Rui’er stared at her for a while and suddenly smiled. “Chu Yue, Rong Xiu rarely treats a person this well. The last one was still—”
