Chapter 177: I Have Soone that I Like
Chu Liuyue was not very interested in it and wanted to reject him. However, an idea popped up in her head, and she asked, “What rewards are there?”
Si Yang chuckled. “Many! The Qing Jiao Competition is organized by each countries’ top academy. Other than Tian Lu Academy, there’s still Country Huai Cang’s Nan Feng Academy and Country Xing Luo’s Tai Yan Academy. This year, it’s our turn to be the host.”
“According to the rules, other than the common rewards, the most important thing is that the top Xuan Master can choose whichever academy they want to borrow Xuan formation drawings from for a month! Think about how much that’s worth!”
These three academies were the elites in their respective countries. All of them had formidable libraries. It would be the greatest reward for any Xuan Master to enter any of the academies to borrow and read their Xuan formation drawings for a month.
Chu Liuyue thought to herself as she said, “The rewards are pretty worth it… Help tell Mr. Dongfang that I’ll participate in the Qing Jiao Competition.”
“That’s right! Even though there are seniors above us, and it’s not very likely for us to co in first, you’re one of the top students in our Xuan Master cohort. Hence, you should co and hold the frontline for us,” said Si Yang.
He suddenly thought of sothing, so he curiously asked, “Oh, yeah. Since you’re participating in the Xuan Master competition, then… are you still going for the warrior one?”
Looking at his nosy appearance, Chu Liuyue could not help but laugh. “Does it matter if I go or not?”
“Of course, it does!” Si Yang raised his voice. “If you don’t go, won’t Chu Xianmin begin stirring up trouble for you? I’ve seen her diligently cultivating, and she looks like she really wants to make a coback.”
Chu Liuyue suddenly rembered that Mu Hongyu had previously ntioned Chu Xianmin thought she was dead. Mu Hongyu also ntioned that Chu Xianmin even wanted to replace her as the warrior assessnt’s top scholar.
“Can one person only join one event?”
“Of course not! If you want, you can join two or even three events!”
Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding. “Then, I’ll think about it.”
“Aiya, what’s there to consider? Are you still thinking about your sisterhood in the Chu family? She has already married the Crown Prince, and she’s in his family now.”
Chu Liuyue’s heart tingled as she calmly looked at him. “What has this got to do with her marrying the Crown Prince?”
“T-this… I was just randomly saying sothing! Ahem!” Si Yang felt that he had accidentally said the wrong thing and imdiately avoided Chu Liuyue’s inspecting gaze guiltily.
Chu Liuyue inwardly thought, Everyone knows that I’ve already severed ties with the Chu family. I have even exposed Lu Yao in public not long ago. Any human being can tell that I have fallen out with the Chu family, so why would I still care about our so-called sisterhood?
Chu Liuyue curled her lips into a half-smile. “Si Yang, you don’t actually want to ask about the sisterhood between Chu Xianmin and , but my current attitude towards the Crown Prince, right?”
Si Yang imdiately denied it. “D-did I?”
Si Yang did not expect Chu Liuyue to catch onto his single question. However, his voice was trembling, and his gaze was shaky. Anyone could tell that Chu Liuyue was right.
Chu Liuyue was not angry but found it strange. “I haven’t had anything to do with the Crown Prince for a long ti. Why are you so curious about this?”
Si Yang coughed to hide his thoughts. “I-I was just casually asking about it… Didn’t you really like the Crown Prince previously?”
The last sentence was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, but Chu Liuyue still heard it clearly.
Looking at Si Yang, she suddenly realized sothing. “I don’t think liking the Crown Prince or not has anything to do with you, right?”
“However, my Big Brother…” Si Yang spoke halfway and suddenly realized what he said. He hurriedly covered his mouth.
Chu Liuyue’s gaze beca fainter. “I already told Si Ting earlier on that we’re just classmates and that I don’t want to be anything more. It seems like he didn’t understand my words.”
“No! I wanted to ask you myself,” said Si Yang. Suddenly, he was taken aback. “Wait. Y-you an you’ve already talked about this?”
The main point was that Big Brother was already rejected! No wonder! It was no wonder Big Brother seed very cold when I told him that Chu Liuyue was back and asked him to visit her. It turns out…
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes. It seed like Si Yang did co on his own accord.
“I’ll let this matter slide, but you can’t ntion it again.” Then, Chu Liuyue tried to leave.
Si Yang hurriedly stopped her and awkwardly asked, “Why? Big Brother… He’s genuine to you. Why won’t you consider him?”
Si Ting was handso, ca from a distinguished family, and was very talented. Many young won in the Imperial City wanted to attract him. However, Si Ting was never interested in anyone.
It was extrely hard for him to like soone, yet he was rejected so decisively and straightforwardly.
Si Yang did not get it. “How does my Big Brother not deserve you?”
Chu Liuyue was calm. “It’s not whether he deserves or not; it’s about whether I want to consider him.”
Si Ting was great, but she did not like him. Thus, she decisively cut him off from the start. “Besides, Si Ting and I have already reached an agreent. This is already in the past, so you don’t have to—”
Si Yang finally could not take it any longer and exclaid, “What do you an in the past? If it’s in the past, why would he risk his life to save you at Wan Ling Mountain that day?”
The surroundings suddenly fell into silence.
Si Ting also went there to save ? Chu Liuyue raised her brows. “I didn’t know about this.”
Si Yang looked away. “He went with Elder Sun that day, but they t Mu Hongyu and the rest at the foot of the mountain first. Thus, Elder Sun told him to stay with them. I know that he might not have helped you, b-but…”
Since Si Ting was willing to make such a choice, it ans that he was willing to risk his life for her.
Chu Liuyue instantly felt that the situation was getting difficult. She never liked owing people favors, especially this kind. However, she could not say anything about it because Si Ting had wanted to save her.
“I know now. I’ll thank him when I have the chance later on, but there’s really nothing else.”
When Si Yang heard this, he instantly felt uncomfortable. He determinedly said, “If you don’t accept him now, you might regret it in the future!”
“I won’t regret it.”
“How do you know? Feelings—”
Chu Liuyue was quite frustrated and decisively said, “Because I already have soone that I like!”
