This place was still quite a distance away from that area, but Elder Wan Zheng still sensitively detected a hint of dangerous aura.
He furrowed his brows tightly and walked forward. But the moment he took half a step out, he suddenly recalled that Chu Liuyue was still producing her pill beside him.
He suppressed his overwhelming feelings. After much thinking, he still decided to stay here first and wait for Chu Liuyue to finish producing her pill.
Even if the academy really were in danger, the other elders were still around. Thus, it was okay for him to go late.
On the other hand, Chu Liuyue was at the most crucial moment of finishing her pill. If she was abruptly interrupted at this point, it would spell trouble.
Chu Liuyue also noticed that something was wrong with him as she averted her gaze and glanced at him.
His face—which was previously filled with excitement—had hints of nervousness and worry now.
