Chu Liuyue looked up and glanced at him.
Yin Fan held a wine cup in his hands. His face was slightly red, and his mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol. If it werenât because they knew that the fountain water wasnât intoxicating, they wouldâve really thought that he was drunk.
He moved his hand and pointed in a direction, his gaze seemingly shining with a mysterious and strange light. âEveryone comes to Million Wine Mountain around evening to midnight. Other than that, thereâs nobody else here. If you really wantâ¦â
âYin Fan, what are you talking about?â interrupted Luo Shishi in dissatisfaction as she furrowed her sharp brows slightly. âYou clearly know that everyone isnât allowed into Million Wine Mountain during daytime. If you say this, do you purposely want to let Chu Yue commit a mistake?â
âAm I not just saying this because he really wants to go to the fountain?!â Yin Fan burped, and the intense smell of alcohol was almost suffocating.
He stared at Chu Liuyue and seemed to be smiling, but there was no smiling intent in his eyes. âJunior Brother Chu Yue, what do you think?â
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Is Yin Fan doing this because Luo Shishi is angry at him? What an unnecessary trouble.
Chu Liuyue originally wanted to give him some face, but this person was very petty, and there really was no need to interact with him further.
She moved a step back, touched Tuan Zi comfortingly, and lightly said, âThank you for your âkind intentions,â Senior Brother Yin Fan, but I have my own plans.
I wonât trouble you.â
Yin Fan sneered. VVhat an act! I donât believe that this Chu Yue has such guts!
He smiled. âJunior Brother Chu Yue, youâve just come to the academy, so there are many things that you donât know. As your senior brother, I have to remind you that itâs good to have thoughts. But if you desire something that doesnât belong to you⦠youâll only cause trouble for yourself!â
The warning in his voice was very clear.
Luo Yanming and the rest felt that something was wrong as their expressions changed slightly.
Luo Shishi knitted her brows even more tightly.
However, Chu Liuyue just smiled slightly. âThank you for your reminder, Senior Brother, but I have always been lucky.â
Yin Fan shot her a deep gaze.
Chu Liuyue had already turned around and was looking at the fountain.
Actually, Yin Fanâs words did remind me. The opening hours ofMillion Wine Mountain are velY weird, but perhaps it has always been like this, so everyone is used to it. During daytime⦠What kind of secret does Million Wine Mountain have?
Hula!
At this point, flapping could be heard.
Upon hearing this, Chu Liuyue looked up. The next moment, she saw a red figure suddenly flying down from the top!
âHaha! Ah Tong, why is your little fellow going crazy again?!â A clear bout of teasing laughter could be heard coming from the top of the mountain at the same time.
Another woman cutely replied, âPfft, youâre the crazy one! My one is a legendary fiend with the bloodline power of the red-gold heavenly phoenix. Perhaps its abilities will be strengthened when it drinks this fountain water!â
As she spoke, the red figure had already flown down from above!
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes and saw that the fiend was surrounded by burning red fire.
Everyvvhere the fiend went, leaves would be burned, and the rocks would turn black, showing its authority.
When it passed by the bustling crowd, there were even gasps.
To avoid this fiend, the crowd shied away and hid respectively. The originally lively mountain peak descended into chaos instantly.
Chu Liuyue didnât want to join the mess, so she took a few steps back and wanted to avoid it. Who knew that the fiend would suddenly change its direction after flying halfway and go straight for Chu Liuyue!?
When the burning temperature attacked her, Chu Liuyue slightly knitted her brows. This thingâ¦
Whoosh!
Tuan Zi was suddenly energized! It flapped its wings and was about to rush out!
Chu Liuyue stopped it, and upon a closer look, she realized that the fiend rushing over was very familiar. Hm?
She tilted her head and looked at her own Tuan Zi. The same figure, the same first⦠That seems to be a red-tailed phoenix too!
Whoosh!
The opposite red-tailed phoenix closely stared at Tuan Zi as the fire in its body burned even more brightly. Then, it suddenly increased its speed and rushed to the latter!
This was an attack!
Chu Liuyue instantly understood something, and her expression turned slightly cold.
Tuan Ziâs eyes burned with maniacal fighting intent! However, Chu Liuyue still stopped it and moved away.
Ca!
A ball of fire flew out and barely brushed past Chu Liuyueâs ears!
A few strands of loose hair were burned. When the faint smell spread around, it frustrated Chu Liuyue.
âChu Yue!â
âAre you okay?!â
Luo Shishi and the rest questioned her hurriedly. It was too scaryjust now! Ifit were a little slanted, thenâ¦
âIâm fine.â Chu Liuyueâs voice was calm as she looked forward coldly.
On the opposite side, that red-tailed phoenix was staring at Tuan Zi on her shoulders with a teasing gaze.
They were both red-tailed phoenixes, so logically speaking, they should be closer since they were from the same clan. But in actual fact, the red -tailed phoenix clan was very competitive, and they always battled amongst themselves. Once they met their own kind, they had to fight until there was a winner.
Hence, this red-tailed phoenix suddenly flew over because its motive was to fight with Tuan Zi! This was the rule of their clan, so other people couldnât say anything much. However⦠such a sneak attack didnât have much meaning.
âHah! I was wondering whatâs wrong with this fellow. It turns out thereâs another red -tailed phoenix! â
Chu Liuyue followed the voice and looked over.
A muscular young man stood at the top of the mountain and looked down at this scene from above.
There was a curvy young woman beside him, and she looked beautiful. She had a whole head of red hair and looked very arrogant. At this point, she also saw Chu Liuyue standing below, as well as Tuan Zi on her shoulders.
Her faceâwhich originally had a smileâturned slightly cold as she raised her brows. âWow, itâs really that⦠There are indeed all sorts of hidden powers in the academy. Even legendary fiends can be the sameâhow interesting.â
Everyone could tell the unhappiness in her voice.
âAh Tong, his red-tailed phoenixâs color seems to be even purer and more intense than yours!â That young man laughed as if he were worried that the world wasnât chaotic enough. âIf they really fought, I think youâd lose!â
That red-haired girl knitted her brows and sized Chu Liuyue up. âYouâre new?
Another man beside her suddenly said, âHm? Isnât that the disciple Elder Wan
Zheng just recruited today? I think⦠heâs called Chu Yue?â
Chu Liuyue saw clearly that the red-haired girlâs expression turned even uglier after she heard this.
âSo heâs such a capable junior brother! I believe he must be outstanding in all aspects to be able to gain Elder Wan Zhengâs liking, right?â The young man who spoke at the start laughed with ill intentions. âAh Tong, didnât you want to go to Elder Wan Zhengâs side in the beginning and was eliminated?â
That red-haired girl glared at him before looking at Chu Liuyue.. As if she were commanding Chu Liuyue, she said, âYou⦠Come over!â
