The sky was dark, and the mountain wind blew over.

As the fiends left, the intense bloody smell and harsh murderous intent that filled the air seemed to disappear silently. The surroundings quietened down and gradually regained their initial appearance.

Elder Shu Yu’s uneasy heart finally settled down. This is the best ending. 

Chu Liuyue’s gaze swept across the dark forest, and the still waters rippled slightly.

“Wait. Shu Yu, what did you mean by that just now?” Elder Wan Zheng suddenly reacted. “You said ‘remaining time.’ You mean that… Chu Yue still needs to continue staying here?”

“Huh?” Elder Shu Yu was also dazed and instinctively looked at Elder Bo Yan. “But we previously said it would be a month. It has only been less than ten days, so I thought…”

Nobody said Chu Yue was allowed to go back today! He naturally thought that it would continue, so he said that.

“Bo Yan, you tell me! Does this punishment need to continue?” asked Elder Wan Zheng with widened eyes. Ever since his precious disciple almost died here, he didn’t believe that Bo Yan would have the cheek to ask Chu Yue to continue staying here!

Elder Bo Yan felt his head ache. I sent Chu Yue over to teach him a lesson and refine his character. If not, he will always boldly cause trouble and not think of the severity of the situation. However, I didn’t expect this to happen.

He had also seen the previous situation clearly, and Chu Yue really was on the brink of death. If it weren’t because Chu Yue was too outstanding on his own, I really might not have been able to save him. If the lesson and warnings are sufficient for Chu Yue after this ordeal, it is fine if he just leaves. However… Every time this kid causes trouble, and we give him all sorts of punishments, it doesn’t seem to work. 

Elder Bo Yan felt aggrieved for some reason. After some slight hesitation, he finally said, “Since he’s experienced this ordeal here, then… He can directly go…”

“I want to continue staying here,” said Chu Liuyue suddenly and interrupted Elder Bo Yan’s words.

The three elders looked at him in shock.

“Disciple, what are you talking about?” Elder Wan Zheng was stunned and hurriedly winked at his disciple. It’s such a good chance to leave this place legitimately! Does this kid have a nut loose? What’s so good about staying here? 

“You! Do you think that today’s situation isn’t dangerous enough?”

Chu Liuyue smiled. “Mentor, today was a special situation, and it’s all because I was negligent. I forgot that I couldn’t break through in Fiend Park, so I caused all this trouble. I came here to be punished. If I leave after staying here for a few days… It doesn’t seem very appropriate. Hence, I’m willing to continue staying here until the last day of the one-month deadline.”

Chu Liuyue’s words were very sincere.

Originally, Elder Wan Zheng wanted to convince his disciple further. But after seeing that young man’s determined expression, he swallowed his words in the end.

He waved his hands and turned around. “Up to you! No matter what, you must come out in one piece—do you understand?!”

Chu Liuyue knew that his bark was worse than his bite, so she smiled brightly. “Don’t worry, Mentor. I’ll definitely do as you say!”

Chu Liuyue’s words caused Elder Bo Yan to have a better impression of his disciple. At first, he also thought that Chu Yue would take this chance to leave directly.

Fiend park is dangerous, and after today’s incident, Chu Yue should understand it even more. Under such circumstances, he still chose to stay behind, which is very rare. I should re-evaluate this young man… Elder Bo Yan thought to himself. “Okay! Since you’ve said so, Chu Yue, we’ll continue with the initial agreement then. As long as you stay put during the remaining time, these fiends shouldn’t put you in a difficult spot.”

After all, with this incident happening at the beginning, anybody who wanted to deal with Chu Yue had to think carefully about it.

Chu Liuyue nodded. “Thank you, Elder Bo Yan.”

At the side, Elder Shu Yu suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. He looked at Chu Liuyue closely, and his gaze was filled with questions. “Wait. Chu Yue, how did you know that you can’t break through in Fiend Park?”

Once he asked this, the few of them fell silent.

When the three elders met, they had already expressed that they didn’t tell Chu Yue about this. However, the latter said that he forgot about it just now…

“Other than the elders in charge of patrolling here, almost nobody knows… You knew about it long ago?” Elder Shu Yu couldn’t be blamed for being suspicious as this incident indeed had doubts.

This was because very few people knew about this. At the same time, even fewer people knew about Chu Yue being locked up here.

Under the three elders’ supervising gazes, Chu Liuyue’s expression didn’t change as she smiled lightly. “Senior Brother Rong Xiu was the one who told me.”

Elder Bo Yan’s brows moved slightly. “He doesn’t know that you were locked up here.”

In actual fact, this was decided by him and Elder Wan Zheng together. Before that, Rong Xiu had already gone somewhere else and directly accepted his punishment.

Ouyang and Shang Yulin would know because he had mentioned it at Million Wine Mountain before. However, Rong Xiu definitely didn’t know.

Chu Liuyue undetectably paused before she smiled more deeply and said, “Senior Brother Rong Xiu specifically told me about these things before I came to the academy.”

The three of them looked at each other. This explanation… seems rather logical. After all, Rong Xiu has even told him how to open the academy barrier. What else would he not say? In this way, it seems rather normal for Chu Yue to know about this. 

“Hmph, he keeps teaching you all sorts of nonsense.” Elder Wan Zheng grunted. Rong Xiu didn’t teach him good things but all the bad rules. Normal students wouldn’t even be able to come to Fiend Park, yet Rong Xiu even talked to him about this. Could it be that he had long expected Chu Yue to come here? 

“Forget it—it’s good that you know. You mustn’t make such a huge blunder again in the future,” reminded Elder Bo Yan. “It’s getting late. We should go back first.”

Chu Liuyue respectfully bowed. “Elders, Mentor, be safe on your way back.”

After handling these items, Chu Liuyue returned to the mountain peak she was at previously.

In the middle of the mountain, Ah Qiong was still standing guard there. Seeing Chu Liuyue come back, the last bit of worry in its eyes finally disappeared.

Chu Liuyue walked over. “Okay, all those troubles have been settled. Let’s go back, and I’ll check on it properly.”

Ah Qiong nodded and caressed the steel-ridged fiend cub lying on the floor in a heartbreaking manner. Then, it brought its cub into the cave.

After it entered, Chu Liuyue gave it a meticulous check. “Don’t worry. Its injuries are mostly superficial; it’ll get better after resting for a while.”

Chu Liuyue felt lucky that steel-ridged fiends were physically strong. It was injured to this extent, yet it was still hanging onto its last breath.

She touched the steel-ridged fiend’s head. “This time, I owe you mother and son. I’ll definitely repay you a hundred-fold. I’ll give you a name! You’ll be called… Tao Tao! I hope you can be as playful as you are now. You’ll be healthy and without worries.”
