The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Chapter 1289

Chapter 1289: Considerate Disciple

Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly. According to my previous understanding, most people have a good att.i.tude toward Jiang Zhiyuan. On the one hand, she has a decent background. On the other hand, her skills are quite presentable as well. Besides, she is born pretty, and to outsiders, she has an energetic, gentle, magnanimous, and elegant image, which everyone really likes. But hearing Zhong Xun’s current tone, he seems to look down on Jiang Zhiyuan. It seems like Jiang Zhiyuan really had misspoken that day.

As if seeing Chu Liuyue’s doubts, Zhong Xun simply recounted the incident that day. “…That’s what happened. Previously, everyone kept thinking that she was the pitiful and innocent one that was bullied. But after Lin Zhifei stood up, everyone then realized the incident wasn’t like she had announced before. She was clearly the one who wasn’t as good as others, yet she framed someone else… Someone who did such a thing isn’t good.”

Zhong Xun pouted, and irritation flashed across his face. “There were many students present that day, and quite a few people had heard what she said. Later on, her series of actions also wasn’t presentable. I really didn’t expect her to be like that… Thinking about it now, Senior Brother Rong Xiu has always avoided her from the very beginning till now. Perhaps he had long seen through her, right?”

Chu Liuyue didn’t say a word. Actually, Jiang Zhiyuan has decent control over her emotions. But when a person has acted for too long, they will have times where they expose themselves. I don’t know what happened that caused her to be so triggered. From now on, her image in the crowd’s hearts in the academy will be completely destroyed. In addition, she lost to Lin Zhifei… She has lost even more thoroughly.

In Ling Xiao Academy, you can be alone, you can be arrogant, and you can be pristine. But the condition to all of this is that you must be sufficiently strong! Without skills as the foundation, one cannot stand stably.

“I think she won’t come back anytime soon.”

Chu Liuyue entered deep thought. Jiang Zhiyuan clearly minds that I’ve become the princess consort. If not, she wouldn’t have said such words out of impulse even now. If she has gone back to Fairy Water Mound…

“Chu Yue? Chu Yue, what are you thinking?”

Seeing that Chu Liuyue didn’t reply after so long, Zhong Xun waved his hands in front of her eyes.

Chu Liuyue recovered her senses, smiled, and said, “Nothing. I just feel that these incidents… Forget it—anyway, it has nothing to do with us. We can just watch as spectators. Senior Brother Zhong Xun, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go and pick my herbs first, okay?”

…

Zhong Xun hurriedly said, “Go ahead, go ahead. I’m basically done. I won’t delay you further.”

Then, he turned around and picked two more herbs before quickly leaving.

Chu Liuyue also retracted her vision and started looking for the herbs she needed.

…

The sky gradually darkened, and almost all the people in Medicinal Valley had left.

Chu Liuyue walked amidst the purple bone flowers that were the height of her knee and carefully picked from them.

“Kid, you’re not done yet?” Elder Meng Ye finally opened one eye and asked lazily.

Chu Liuyue was shocked. She stood up and turned around, realizing that she was the only student here.

She scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. “I’m sorry, Elder. I was negligent and didn’t notice the time… I’ll pack up and leave now.”

Elder Meng Ye suddenly stood up and fanned his bare foot with his fan as he laughed. “Hehe, kid, do you know how many herbs you’ve taken since you came? Hm, I remember that you only came to the academy about three months ago. If you can’t afford these points… I won’t let you leave so easily!”

So he was worried about this. Chu Liuyue heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, “Thank you for your concern, Elder, but my mentor said that I could take whatever I want at Medicinal Valley. Everything will go under his name.”

“Oh?” This time, Elder Meng Ye finally opened both his eyes and sized Chu Liuyue up for quite some time before he asked in disbelief, “Did that old fellow really say that?”

“Yeah! Why would I dare to lie about this kind of thing?”

“Did this old fellow really have a change in personality…” Elder Meng Ye couldn’t help but mutter. That Wan Zheng is very stubborn. He would actually do such a thing? But as a new student, Chu Yue indeed doesn’t look like he would lie about such a thing. After all, I can ask Wan Zheng to find out the authenticity of it. This is definitely true.

Elder Meng Ye thought for a moment and stroked his beard. “Since this is so, I can rest a.s.sured. You can just take whatever you want!”

Now that he said that, Chu Liuyue felt embarra.s.sed to continue. She hurriedly said, “I’ve already picked enough today, and it’s quite late, so I won’t disturb you further.”

As she spoke, she walked over and asked Elder Meng Ye to calculate it.

Elder Meng Ye picked up his green jade plaque and wrote a number on it. “It’s fine! I know what you took very clearly. I don’t have to count it! This bill… I’ll send it to him myself tomorrow—”

“Elder,” interrupted Chu Liuyue suddenly. “I have a request, and I hope you’ll agree to it.”

Elder Meng Ye looked up at her. “What’s the matter?”

Chu Liuyue coughed. Under Elder Meng Ye’s eyes that looked as if they could see through everything, her skin burned as she said awkwardly, “Um… Could you give the bill to my mentor a month later?”
