Chapter 1342: I Came Here Before

s.h.i.+ Ruier glanced at her strangely. Sky-Cloud Empire?

Jiang Zhiyuan tugged at her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes. Yeah, dont you know? The princess consort of the Sky-Cloud Empire coincidentally has a legendary three-eyed eagle. She also has a red-tailed phoenix at the same time.

She has an agreement with two fiends, and theyre both legendary fiends? How is that possible? s.h.i.+ Ruiers first reaction was to shake her head.

Fiends were very prideful; it was impossible for them to choose to serve the same master at the same time, let alone two legendary fiends.

I wouldnt dare to lie in front of you, Senior Sister. You can go and ask around to know if its true or false. Talking about this, Jiang Zhiyuans blood boiled. If it werent because Shangguan Yue had two legendary fiends, how could I possibly lose? Even now, I still dont know how exactly Shangguan Yue did that.

Hearing Jiang Zhiyuan say this, s.h.i.+ Ruier was rather surprised. Jiang Zhiyuan really has no need to lie about such things. After all, I can easily know about it if I ask the Sky-Cloud Empire. So that means it is actually true?

If its true, then I really have to go there when I have the chance in the future. s.h.i.+ Ruier thought for a moment and suddenly laughed. Shes really worthy of being the princess consort that Rong Xiu chose. It seems like she isnt as unworthy as the rumors in school say, right? Jiang Zhiyuan, what do you think?

Jiang Zhiyuans expression froze.

s.h.i.+ Ruier was clearly mocking her! That was because all the rumors that were spreading about the Sky-Cloud Empires Princess Consort basically came from her back then.

Of course, she wouldnt say anything good about the other party. After much spreading, it became even worse.

Jiang Zhiyuan forced a smile. Senior Sister, youre right.

Im not sure whats wrong with the academy these few years as there are always people causing trouble out of nowhere. Some people arent as capable as others, yet they arent thinking of how to diligently cultivate and be better. Instead, they keep thinking of ways to spread false rumors about other people and even ruin their reputation to drag them down s.h.i.+ Ruier coldly snorted. Sometimes, they really deserve to be taught a lesson.

Jiang Zhiyuan was so angered that she couldnt speak as her face flashed white and red.

Chu Liuyue watched on from the side and raised her brows slightly. Tsk. I really rarely see Jiang Zhiyuan being stumped in front of one person. Even in the Sky-Cloud Empire back then, she acted as if she was half the master. But in front of s.h.i.+ Ruier, she has to act gingerly, terrified that s.h.i.+ Ruier will do something to her. If it werent because the time isnt right, I really want to go up and ask what happened.

Oh right! Jiang Zhiyuan, you previously said that they were ambushed again when you guys escaped, and thats also the reason you separated from the rest, right?

Jiang Zhiyuan nodded rather nervously, as if she still had lingering fear about the previous incident.

Well, why dont you tell us what exactly happened back then?

Jiang Zhiyuan muttered, I was too nervous at that time, so I only focused on escaping. I dont remember the things that happened clearly

Then. just tell us in detail about how you fled. s.h.i.+ Ruier emphasized the word fled in a seemingly laughing manner. The more detailed your description, the more useful it is to us. It cant be that youre not willing to say this either, right?

Jiang Zhiyuan felt guilty, and her mind quickly spun. This s.h.i.+ Ruier is very sharp and critical! I did meet with two attacks, and I did escape in the middle of the chaos, but the truth Is very different from what I had told Elder Hua Feng and the rest at the start. If I say it

No! I definitely cant say it! I cant let them find out what happened back then! If I do

Senior Sister, youve misunderstood. Why wouldnt I talk about it? M-my mind is still quite messy now. Let me think about it carefully

You should think about it. s.h.i.+ Ruier laughed lightly. When youre done tidying up your thoughts and have figured out what youre going to say, its not too late to tell us then.

This sentence sounded weird somehow, but Jiang Zhiyuan couldnt find a way to retaliate. Thus, she could only suppress the anger.

She looked down, and her light gaze seemed frail and pitiful.

n.o.body saw the grievances that flashed across her eyes.

It wasnt the first or second time that s.h.i.+ Ruier had targeted her, and it wasnt like Jiang Zhiyuan didnt hate her. However, s.h.i.+ Ruier was the legitimate Second Miss of the Flying Star Sect, and she was nurtured as the next successor from a young age. She had a distinguished status, and she was more talented and capable than her.

The two were worlds apart, so she could only hold it back. Luckily, s.h.i.+ Ruier left after a few months.

Jiang Zhiyuan didnt expect to meet her a few years down the road!

Yeah, Ruier is right. Rest properly and tidy up your thoughts. Then, you can try your best to recount the entire incident clearly. That way, perhaps we might be able to get clues to find Bo Yan and the rest, Elder Hua Feng agreed with s.h.i.+ Ruiers words and added.

Jiang Zhiyuan could only smile forcefully. Yes, I understand.

The crowd walked for a distance, and the sky completely turned black.

The temperature at night was extremely low. If they stayed at the same spot, they had to waste a large amount of force to maintain their body temperature. And if they werent careful, they might just sleep forever.

Hence, the crowd chose to continue going forward.

In the dark sky, the moon wasnt to be seen, and there were only a few stars s.h.i.+ning.

The crowd silently walked forward.

Suddenly, Shangguan Jings voice sounded in Chu Liuyues ears. Yueer.

Chu Liuyue was quite surprised. Ancestor? Whats the matter?

Shangguan Jing paused and said, I feel that this place is very familiar.

His voice was very light, but it sounded like thunder to Chu Liuyues ears. She knew very clearly that if there wasnt something important, her ancestor wouldnt randomly say this.

Did you recall something? Chu Liuyue asked in her heart lightly.

Not yet, but I shouldve been here before. In actual fact, he had this feeling ever since they reached the Flood-Desert Northern Region and got out of the transportation formation. As they kept going forward, the feeling became increasingly stronger. It was only now that he could finally say it with certainty.

Chu Liuyue found it weird. Are you sure?

Shangguan Jing simply replied, I think I know where to walk from here.

Chu Liuyue suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Chu Yue, whats the matter? Elder Hua Feng was walking beside Chu Liuyue the whole time. Seeing that the latter suddenly stopped, he couldnt help but turn around and glance at her curiously.

Chu Liuyue recovered her senses and smiled to hide her thoughts. Its nothing, but I feel a little tired.

Elder Hua Feng sighed, and white mist escaped from his mouth.

It was indeed too cold here, and it was very effortful to walk.

I think everyone is also tired too. Why dont we all sit down and rest for an hour?

This suggestion gained everyones agreement. In actual fact, after traveling for a day, they couldnt hang on for much longer.

Everyone cleared an empty spot on the snowy ground and sat down cross-legged as they recuperated respectively.

The only benefit here was that the force was still quite rich.

Chu Liuyue also sat down and closed her eyes. Ancestor, please continue.
