Chapter 1494: Abduct
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After 15 minutes, Chu Liuyue was satisfied when touching her Cosmic Ring, which was much more filled.
The feeling of accepting gifts for nothing… It couldn’t be better! Not only did she not have to give a return gift, but she even took them without feeling burdensome at all!
“Everyone, you’re too generous. I feel really bad.” Chu Liuyue sighed.
The crowd secretly clenched their teeth. Feel bad? You can take something else! Anyone who has eyes can tell that you were elated when accepting the gifts!
It was a pity that such words couldn’t be said. Using ‘presents’ to substitute for apologies was the solution they found most acceptable currently.
!!
Seeing that Chu Liuyue was happy, Shangguan Jing felt better as well and couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Yue’er, all those present are from top-tier aristocratic families in the God Residence Realm, and they all have deep foundations! Your small amount of items doesn’t matter much to them! Don’t be so superfluous. Those who don’t know would think that we’re tricking them!”
The crowd spat out blood. How is this not tricking us? Our foundations are deep, but we gave out precious items! This is directly cutting our meat!
But what else could they do?! Not mentioning Shangguan Yue, but Shangguan Jing had fiery eyesight! He could take one glance to recognize if the item was good or bad, expensive or trash!
At this time, who would dare to risk offending him again? Hence, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to give out the treasure!
Just give it—as long as it can settle today’s matters!
After some struggle, someone finally bade farewell. Anyway, those doubts they had about Chu Liuyue had basically been explained or resolved today. There wasn’t much meaning if they continued staying here.
Amongst them, there were some people—including Yao Bin—who tried to flatter Shangguan Jing. He was a live supreme Armory Refinement Master! If they could be related to him, the benefits were unimaginable.
However, it was clear that Shangguan Jing wasn’t interested in this as he chased them away with a few words.
He was only concerned about Chu Liuyue now. How could he care about others?
Yao Bin and the rest saw that their hopes were bleak today and felt disappointed. They could only leave regretfully.
Shangguan Jing clearly hadn’t appeased his anger toward them completely, so it was normal for him to ignore them. Perhaps it wouldn’t be too late to think of a solution some time later…
…
Very quickly, the people gathered in the large black and white square left respectively.
The surroundings gradually became cold and much more peaceful and calm.
Looking at the empty square once again, Chu Liuyue sighed lightly. It’s finally over…
Too many things had happened today. Previously, she was all tense and didn’t feel it. Now that she suddenly relaxed, the intense lethargy overwhelmed her.
She wasn’t a god, so she naturally would get tired.
As she handled so many people with extraordinary statuses at once, she naturally had to be more careful and meticulous. This required effort and strength.
Luckily, everything was considered resolved successfully, and she even gained such a deal in the end. This made her much happier.
“Ancestor—”
The moment Chu Liuyue spoke, a familiar voice came from behind. “Senior Shangguan.”
Chu Liuyue turned around. “Elder Bo Yan.”
At this moment, the academy crowd had gathered together with Elder Bo Yan at the front.
Elder Bo Yan smiled with cupped fists and bowed toward Shangguan Jing. “I’ve long heard of your name. I never expected to have a chance to meet you in this life. It’s indeed my honor!”
From the surface, Shangguan Jing looked like he was in his thirties or forties, younger than Elder Bo Yan and the others. However, he had the highest seniority here—even Elder Bo Yan had to cleanly call him ‘senior.’
Shangguan Jing smiled. “I slept for a long time, and the world outside has completely changed. During this period of time, I have to thank everyone for taking care of Yue’er.”
Previously, he had stayed in Ling Xiao Academy with Chu Liuyue for a period of time and knew that these people treated Chu Liuyue genuinely. Hence, his attitude was much better compared to when he treated those people.
Seeing him like this, Elder Bo Yan and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Judging from the previous situation, they originally thought that this god-like person was very hard to interact with.
“You’re too polite. Chu… Shangguan Yue is my Ling Xiao Academy’s student, so we naturally have to protect her. And… this incident is actually because we couldn’t protect her well, so she was aggrieved.” Elder Bo Yan sighed.
Shangguan Jing’s brows moved slightly, and the displeasure in his heart then dissipated.
His Yue’er might not blame the academy, but he was different. Yue’er was wronged, and it was hard for him not to feel that Ling Xiao Academy hadn’t fulfilled its responsibility.
The reason why he didn’t pursue the matter was that he knew Ling Xiao Academy had already done its best for an ordinary student. Besides, Yue’er always had a decent relationship with the academy, so he didn’t want to ruin this because of that.
It was quite good that Elder Bo Yan was willing to admit his mistakes.
The gaze in his eyes became much warmer. “I know that there’s a mastermind behind this. Elder Bo Yan, you don’t have to blame yourself.”
“Oh? Then, do you know who it is—” Elder Bo Yan and the rest perked up.
Shangguan Jing thought for a moment before shaking his head. “I only have some clues, and I haven’t checked it properly.”
The crowd was rather disappointed.
“Haha, it’s good if you have some clues! As long as you investigate, you can definitely find out what’s going on!” Elder Hua Feng laughed and eased the situation.
“Senior Shangguan, Bo Yan, since the matter has been resolved, let’s go back to the academy?” At the side, Elder Wen Xi reminded them.
It wasn’t very suitable to just stand here.
“Right, right! Let’s go back first! Too many things have happened today; I believe Yue’er must be tired.” When he said the words ‘Yue’er,’ Elder Bo Yan paused for a moment, and something strange flashed across his eyes.
Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled slightly. She roughly knew what Elder Bo Yan was thinking of.
“Elder Bo Yan is right. Ancestor, let’s go back first.” Chu Liuyue laughed.
Shangguan Jing nodded and rubbed her head.
…
The grand scene ended just like this.
When the crowd returned to the academy and thought of what happened today, they were still in awe.
Originally, Elder Bo Yan and the rest wanted to ask Chu Liuyue about some matters, but they were tactfully rejected because Shangguan Jing said she had to rest.
Everyone could only let it slide and allow Chu Liuyue to go back to rest.
Shangguan Jing naturally followed Chu Liuyue back to Jiuheng Peak.
Rong Xiu followed the duo to the door.
Just as he was about to enter, Shangguan Jing turned around and gave him a meaningful gaze. “Rong Xiu, I have something to say to my granddaughter.”
He wanted to chase Rong Xiu out.
Ever since he became His Grace, Rong Xiu had never been rejected at the door. However, the distinguished His Grace seemed to have expected this as he immediately stopped in his tracks and smiled slightly. “Then, I won’t disturb you and Yue’er anymore. If you have any instructions, just let me know.”
Then, he actually turned around. However, his gaze turned slightly, and his deep phoenix-like eyes landed on Chu Liuyue’s face for a moment.
Shangguan Jing sighed in his heart. It’s not so easy to abduct my Yue’er!
