The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler
Chapter 541 - Stand UpChapter 541: Stand Up
The few of them turned around and saw a beautiful woman in red—it was Chu Liuyue.
A smile was plastered on her face as if she was asking casually, but everyone could tell that this quarrel was just the disciples fighting for a seat on the surface. In actual fact, it was the Jiu Xing Alliance challenging Chong Xu Cabinet’s position as one of the four largest clans.
He stiffly changed his fierce expression into a smile. “Ms. Chu, what does this mean?”
With a smile on her face, Chu Liuyue asked, “Ah. Young Master, please don’t misunderstand; I was just curious. If this seat belongs to them, why do you want to fight with them?”
Chu Liuyue’s words were too direct, and she directly made the man cough. “If I don’t remember wrongly… This lady seems to be someone that your Jiu Xing Alliance brought back from outside Heaven’s Canopy. She hasn’t entered your clan yet, so why did you start calling each other Senior Brother and Junior Sister?”
Chu Liuyue looked at the woman with a round face as she smiled and asked, “I heard that only the disciples from the four biggest clans could stay here, right?”
The woman with a round face didn’t expect that Chu Liuyue would suddenly help, so she nodded her head dazedly. “That’s right; the four biggest clans are the strongest existences in Xi Ling. They’re Dragon Teeth Mountain, Sky-Soaring Clan, Purple Xiao Sword Sect, and our Chong Xu Cabinet, respectively. When we came in just now, the pageboy had already stated that the position was left for us.”
They were talking about seats, but it was actually about status.
Chu Liuyue nodded and looked at the two people from the Jiu Xing Alliance. “Since this seat is left for the four biggest clans, then may I know whether… Jiu Xing Alliance is one of them?”

The woman in purple said indignantly, “Chong Xu Cabinet isn’t the previous Chong Xu Cabinet anymore! Just like her—her ranking in the Wan Zheng Competition was behind mine! Just based on this alone, she has no right to sit here!”
Chu Liuyue asked, “What’s your ranking?”
The woman in purple lifted her chin. “Thirty-fifth!”
Chu Liuyue looked at the woman with a round face. “What about you?”
The round-faced woman lowered her head in embarrassment. “Forty-first…”
These two people’s rankings actually weren’t that much different, but the round-faced woman was considered young amongst these people. Hence, it wasn’t bad that she could get such a ranking.
The woman in purple sneered. “Even though I just came to Xi Ling, I know that Xi Ling has one rule—the strong are respected! Since my ranking and capabilities are better than hers, why can’t I sit here?”
“What about me?” said Chu Liuyue.
The woman in purple was suddenly dazed. “What?”
Chu Liuyue smiled slightly. “I’m first. Don’t I have more rights to sit here?”
The woman in purple was stumped as she stuttered, “B-but… You’re not even interested in this seat! Why are you purposely making it difficult for us?”
“It’s my business if I’m interested or not. You just have to answer my previous question.” Chu Liuyue looked at her nonchalantly.
“You…” The woman in purple was enraged as her voice became sharp and piercing. “Chu Liuyue, are you determined to stand up for Chong Xu Cabinet today? You need to think this through carefully. You’re going against our entire Jiu Xing Alliance!”
Chu Liuyue smiled. “It’s just a seat. Is there a need to speak so seriously? But if you really want to say this… Whatever you say then.”
Her nonchalant behavior enraged that purple-robed woman.
She was very impulsive and took a step out, but she was immediately stopped by the man beside her. “Junior Sister!”
“Senior Brother!” That woman was furious. When she met with the man’s warning gaze, she finally swallowed her remaining words as she turned away indignantly.
That man said, “Since Ms. Chu wants this seat, we won’t fight with you. Ms. Chu, please—”
He then pulled the woman in purple to the side.
That woman with a round face looked at Chu Liuyue thankfully and with much conflict.

Chu Liuyue glanced at that round-faced woman, and her lips curved up. “You can continue sitting on this seat.”
“But this is your—”
“I’m not very interested in this. I just don’t like them, so you don’t have to take it to heart.” Chu Liuyue patted the round-faced woman’s shoulder gently.
“T-thank you…” The woman with a round face didn’t know what to do. “I… I don’t know how to thank you…”
Chu Liuyue asked, “What’s your name? How old are you?”
The round-faced woman honestly said, “My name is Ye Ranran, and I’ll be 14 in a month.”
As if she had guessed Chu Liuyue’s thoughts, the round-faced woman blushed. “I eat too much normally, so… So I look stronger than an average girl…”
“It’s fine; you’re very talented. If you cultivate properly, you will be very strong in the future,” said Chu Liuyue seriously.
Ye Ranran’s eyes lit up, and she said in embarrassment, “Master said that too, b-but… I always thought that he was coaxing me…”
Chu Liuyue sighed in her heart. “This is true. Also, remember to take revenge if someone bullies you in the future.”
Ye Ranran nodded her head readily. Just as she was about to ask more questions, she heard a voice. “The Purple Xiao Sword Sect’s Master is here!”
