Chapter 1348: Peace

Chu Liuyue went toward the bottom of the gully. The nearer she got, the more she could feel the humid and warm aura coming from it.

Different from the bone-chilling snowy field, the temperature was much higher here, similar to the warmth of spring.

When Chu Liuyue’s feet finally landed on the red sand, she even faintly felt that it was a little hot.

She looked down and took a glance. The sand that flowed with the wind and brushed past her face was hot.

Luckily, these sand clumps were slightly larger and rougher, so walking on the sand wasn’t like walking in a desert, where one would sink in every step. Just with this alone, it was already much better than treading on the thick snow outside.

She looked at both sides.

The red sand covered the land, and one couldn’t see the end.

Elder Hua Feng landed beside Chu Liuyue and followed her gaze to take a look. Then, he couldn’t conceal the shock in his eyes.?If I didn’t see it personally, I wouldn’t believe that there was actually such a gully below. Also… this gully seems rather strange.?

“This is…” Elder Hua Feng originally wanted to ask Chu Liuyue where they were, but after speaking halfway, he then realized that she probably didn’t know.?But no matter what, this place seems much safer than the outside. At the very least, we have gotten rid of the nine-tailed green crows.?

“Chu Yue, you’re really capable! You could even find such a place?” Shi Rui’er’s face had a surprised smile as she walked toward Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue smiled. “Senior Sister, you’re too kind. I just happened to find it. I didn’t know… this place looked like this either.”

Shi Rui’er’s brows moved slightly, showing that she didn’t completely believe in her words.?If she really didn’t know, why would she head in this direction without stopping…?

Seeing Chu Yue’s expression just now, she really did seem surprised. It shouldn’t be a pretense.?She suppressed her thoughts.?No matter what, Chu Yue did help us solve a problem.?

......

“I owe you a favor,” said Shi Rui’er with a smile. “If it weren’t for you, I don’t know how we would end up today.”

Chu Liuyue thought about it and didn’t reject it.

Shi Rui’er had intentions of making friends with her, and coincidentally, she admired Shi Rui’er quite a bit as well. It was quite nice to have another friend. Besides, the other party had such a high status.

At this point, a soft gasp of pain could be heard.

Jiang Zhiyuan had fallen down from the stone walls, and her face and head were covered in blood. She looked like she was in a sorry state.

Initially, she had flown down like the crowd, but in the end, her physical strength couldn’t support her. She had also suffered quite a few injuries, so when she didn’t control herself properly, she ended up in this state.

An elder from the academy shook his head and sighed as he walked over and passed her a jade bottle. This was the elder who previously attended to Jiang Zhiyuan’s wounds.

Without a doubt, the bottle contained pills.

But this time, the elder had left after giving the medicine and didn’t intend to help her treat her new wounds.

Even though everyone had already gotten out of danger, they still couldn’t immediately forgive Jiang Zhiyuan for her mistakes.

Lives had been at stake. How could they let it go so easily?

Jiang Zhiyuan knew that she was in the wrong and didn’t dare to speak as she silently hid in a corner.

“There are two paths—left and right. Which one should we take?” asked Elder Hua Feng. After experiencing these incidents, he had already unwittingly started asking Chu Liuyue for her opinion.

Chu Liuyue hugged her arm with one hand and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she pointed toward the right. “There.”
