The two walked one after another, near the small grove.
The wind whipped at Zhao Ruyue's shoulders, lifting strands of her hair and calming her mind considerably.
In retrospect, the incident in the infirmary was not Zhou Yu's fault at all.
After all, the situation was urgent, and in the face of life, everything else was insignificant.
It was just that Zhao Ruyue couldn't overcome her inner turmoil!
Glancing back, she saw Zhou Yu following behind her with a puzzled look.
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but chuckle, breaking the somber atmosphere.
"What are you laughing about?" Zhou Yu asked, a dark line appearing on his forehead.
"Nothing, I just think you're quite cute," Zhao Ruyue said with a smile.
This time, it was Zhou Yu's turn to be flustered.
She had been angry just moments ago, so why did Zhao Ruyue change her expression so quickly?
No wonder they say a woman's face is like the sky in June.
"Those words Elder Lin spoke earlier, I'm afraid many of the family disciples will choose to withdraw from the training camp," Zhao Ruyue changed the subject.
Zhou Yu nodded.
What Zhao Ruyue said was not wrong. Those family disciples were all spoiled beyond recognition.
Now that they heard there was danger.
No matter how rare the opportunity of this training camp was.
It was likely that many would retreat.
"By the way, you went to the island with Elder Lin to investigate, didn't you? Did you find anything else?" Zhao Ruyue asked curiously.
During the meeting earlier, Lin Weidong had hinted, both overtly and covertly, that there were abnormalities on the island.
His words clearly hadn't told the whole story.
Making Zhao Ruyue eager to know more!
Since Zhou Yu had accompanied Lin Weidong to investigate, he should know something.
Faced with Zhao Ruyue's curiosity, Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.
He then shook his head, "Elder Lin has already said what he can. I shouldn't reveal too much more."
"I can only tell you that the current situation is even more dangerous than you imagine!"
Zhao Ruyue's expression tightened.
She had originally intended to press for more information.
But soon, Zhao Ruyue remembered that she was currently part of the Dragon Group.
The Dragon Group would naturally handle all safety concerns; it wasn't her place as a doctor in the medical team to worry about it.
Therefore, Zhao Ruyue pouted, giving Zhou Yu a coquettish glance, and said with some dissatisfaction, "If you're not going to tell me, then don't ask me to inquire with others."
This made Zhou Yu's skin crawl.
Zhao Ruyue was already naturally charming, and despite wearing a white coat.
Beneath it, she wore a black tight-fitting dress.
Her alluring curves were faintly visible!
Zhou Yu hadn't had any other thoughts initially, but at this moment, he couldn't help but think of the scene in the infirmary...
"What? Are you looking at me like that?" Zhao Ruyue felt a little uncomfortable under Zhou Yu's gaze.
A faint blush crept up Zhao Ruyue's neck.
Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but stamp her foot, "Don't just stand here, let's move to a less crowded area quickly, lest someone sees us."
The way she put it...
It was as if the two of them had some unspeakable secret!
Zhou Yu was speechless for a moment.
However, Zhao Ruyue was already walking ahead quickly.
Zhou Yu had nothing else to say, so he could only follow closely.
"Did Elder Lin mention asking you to participate in the investigation?" Zhao Ruyue asked as they walked.
Zhou Yu glanced at Zhao Ruyue and smiled, "This is the Dragon Group's territory. Why would you think Elder Lin would ask me to do something like this?"
Asking the obvious!
Zhao Ruyue gave Zhou Yu a reproachful look.
Most people in the training base now knew that Zhou Yu possessed formidable martial skills and divine medical abilities.
It would be too wasteful of resources to keep such a talent idle in the observers' group instead of having him contribute in some way.
"If Elder Lin asked you to participate, I suggest you'd best refuse."
"The details of this matter are not yet clear. No matter how good your relationship with Elder Lin is, you are not a member of the Dragon Group. It's best to avoid any misunderstandings or danger."
Zhao Ruyue knew Zhou Yu was playing dumb, but she couldn't help but remind him.
As it stood, it was best to observe the situation like the other family enforcers.
Just as Zhao Ruyue was waiting for Zhou Yu's answer.
Zhou Yu suddenly asked, "Can I interpret this as you worrying about me?"
Zhao Ruyue was speechless, a flicker of panic darted through her dark eyes, and her heart suddenly began to race.
Her steps unconsciously quickened.
Zhou Yu quickly caught up, "You still haven't answered me!"
The distance between them grew shorter and shorter, until they were almost side by side.
Because Lin Weidong had announced that there was danger at the training base, most people were confined to the lounge, waiting for the outcome.
However, there were always some people brought by the major families who would slip away to use the restroom or the like.
When they saw Zhou Yu standing so close to a beautiful woman in a white coat.
Their eyes widened!
"Whose young master is that? He's really enjoying himself!"
"They say there's danger, and all the family disciples are resting in their dormitories. How could they be out here? That person is Divine Doctor Zhou!"
"I thought it was someone else. Heh, he was probably kicked out of the observers' group and is just wandering around here."
When some recognized Zhou Yu's identity and mentioned his name, it was with a hint of mockery.
These people, though from major families, were of average strength and not even enforcers of their families.
They were merely there to run errands for the young masters.
Naturally, they were not qualified to be by the young masters' side, nor did they attend the meeting.
Furthermore, the news of Zhou Yu tearing apart a mysterious creature and saving family disciples was suppressed.
Therefore, these people had never witnessed Zhou Yu's strength.
Their memories were still from before!
Zhao Ruyue also heard the words of these people and secretly tugged at Zhou Yu's sleeve.
But she saw that Zhou Yu was unmoved.
His smile didn't even diminish in the slightest.
"You are truly patient," Zhao Ruyue couldn't help but say.
The observers' group was mostly composed of enforcers from major families. Anyone else would have likely jumped up by now, being slandered like this.
But Zhou Yu acted as if he hadn't heard anything!
Zhou Yu's lips curved into a smile, "They are just a bunch of lackeys. There's no need to bother with them."
Even the enforcers from the major families were no match for Zhou Yu.
Let alone these errand runners?
To argue with them would be beneath him!
Zhao Ruyue nodded slightly, her impression of Zhou Yu improving even more.
"Alright, now that there's danger at the training base and the situation could escalate at any moment, it's not good for us to be out here for too long."
"We'll take a walk together next time we have a chance."
Zhou Yu glanced at the time.
After walking for a while, Zhou Yu hadn't forgotten his identity as a member of the observers' group.
Lin Weidong had invited him more out of consideration for his abilities.
What if someone got into trouble later and Zhou Yu couldn't be found?
That would be troublesome!
"Okay, then I'll chat with you when you have time," Zhao Ruyue's tone held a hint of regret.
Since the incident in the infirmary, Zhao Ruyue had been trying to have a good talk with Zhou Yu.
However, Zhou Yu had always been evasive.
Unwilling to communicate much with Zhao Ruyue, she naturally couldn't ask further, lest she embarrass herself.
