After Cultivating With the Enemy

It wasn't until Feng Qi stepped onto the Baiyu Terrace that Ji Chaoyun woke up like a dream.

That face is clearly the same as in memory, but other than that, there is no half similarity.

That person wouldn't see him that way.

Ji Zhaoyun's turbulent mood cooled down little by little. He watched the other party stand still in front of him, his right wrist flicked slightly, and the red gold bracelet tied around his wrist fell down, turning into a long whip.

The golden spiritual light of the long whip faded away quickly, revealing the slender whip body entwined with golden threads.

"I-I'm not..."

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes moved slightly, and he was about to explain something, but at this moment, the golden gong sounded, and the third group arena match began.

Before he could react, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards him.

Years of martial arts practice made Ji Chaoyun instinctively raise his sword to block, the whip slid close to the long sword, dazzling sparks burst out from the junction of the weapons.Ji Zhaoyun staggered and hurriedly took two steps back, feeling an unusual surge of breath in his heart instantly.

The strength of this person is completely different from those two people before.

Ji Zhaoyun closed his eyes and tried his best to calm himself down.

It can't go on like this.

If you do this again, you will really be driven away.

He must enter Hongmeng Academy.

Ji Chaoyun took a deep breath, and when he raised his eyes again, the aura around him had already changed.The sword edge that was originally deflected turned sharply, without any hesitation, it stabbed straight at Feng Qi.

Ji Chaoyun has fought two games in a row, one of which was against the academy's tenth-ranked master, and the physical exertion can be imagined.

But it wasn't until this moment that the audience in the audience realized that this person hadn't used his full strength before!

There was a sharp sound as the blade pierced through the void, Ji Chaoyun's sword moves were faster than before, and he approached Feng Qi's side in an instant.The hearts of all the spectators in the audience were tense, but Feng Qi just took half a step to the side in a leisurely manner, gathered the long whip to protect his side, and skillfully deflected the opponent's menacing sword.

Afterwards, Feng Qi changed from his previous strength, only defending but not attacking, and was forced by Ji Chaoyun to retreat step by step.

Under the stage, someone suddenly laughed loudly: "His Royal Highness Feng Er, you are too obvious to let the water go."

The joke in this person's words was obvious, it was the disciples who followed Feng Qi down from the Dengyun Tower just now.

This group of people followed Feng Qi in the past, and they were not as afraid of him as others. They all joked: "When will Your Highness learn to be sympathetic to the fragrance and cherish the jade, although this is not a big competition in the heavenly rankings, it is not good to lose, so don't be impulsive."

"After defeating Jiangcheng first, and then defeating Fengqi, let's just give the Dengyun Tower to this newcomer."

"Shut up for me!"

Ji Zhaoyun had been forced to use all his strength, facing such a sharp and swift sword move, Feng Qi was able to tell the audience with a smile and curse.Just as he turned his head, Ji Chaoyun's sword had reached his side and was about to stab Feng Qi's neck.

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes flickered, and Jian Feng was stunned!

In such a peak duel, any trace of flaw and hesitation is fatal.In the next second, Feng Qi swung the long whip in his hand and tightly wrapped around Ji Chaoyun's accompanying sword.

"If you don't hesitate, just now may be your only chance to win."

Feng Qi opened his mouth, with a trace of regret in his eyes: "Because you haven't entered school yet, I let you do nine tricks, but unfortunately... I still have important things to do, I'm sorry."

At the same time as Feng Qi's words fell, the body of the whip twisted tightly to match the sword.Before Ji Zhaoyun could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand.

The long whip in Feng Qi's hand looks soft, but it is actually made of some kind of extremely flaming spirit iron, which is extremely tough.After Ji Chaoyun suffered this blow, a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his back, and he threw out his sword.

He subconsciously leaned forward, but was swept away by the latter's palm, forcing him to take a few steps back.

Behind him is the edge of the ring!

Ji Zhaoyun's body lost his balance and fell rapidly, he was about to fall off the high platform.A hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed his arm firmly.

The palm of the other party was warm and dry, and within a short distance, Ji Zhaoyun could clearly see the faint smile in the other party's eyes that had never changed.

This face is handsome, and when he smiles, it adds a bit of ecstasy.But this smile does not make people feel easy to get close to. On the contrary, the strangeness and indifference in the eyes are so dazzling that people can't breathe.

Feng Qi looked down at him from above, and said softly: "You lost."

At the same time, Ji Chaoyun's sword fell to the ground, and a crisp sound echoed on the silent white jade platform.

The body left the ring, the weapon landed on the ground, the rules he set himself, and there was no suspense in losing.

"Your movement is good, but it's a pity that you met me." Feng Qi raised his hand, and the falling sword was lifted up by a cloud of green smoke, and returned to his hand.He held the hilt of the sword with his backhand and handed it to Ji Chaoyun: "Come back in a hundred years."

Ji Zhaoyun took the sword, turned around and walked down the stage without missing the person in front of him.

He stepped up to catch up: "You... are you from the Feng clan?"

Feng Qi paused, then turned around: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Then you..." Ji Zhaoyun looked at this overly familiar face, his voice trembling slightly, "Don't you know me?"

Feng Qi looked at him for a moment, then asked: "Should I know you?"

"I--"

While the two were talking, the crowd had already gathered.Feng Qi glanced around and smiled lightly: "It's okay, you're not the first person who wants to strike up a conversation with me. But at least you... pick a reason that isn't so old-fashioned."

"...Who doesn't know that the dragon and phoenix clans have been feuding for a long time, and the children of the phoenix clan are forbidden to associate with any dragon clan without permission. Little demon dragon, don't hurt me."

Ji Zhaoyun's voice choked in his throat: "Feng..."

But Feng Qi ignored him, turned around and walked down the steps.

"Chaoyun, Chaoyun? Are you okay?!" Ye Chenxing squeezed through the crowd and came to Ji Chaoyun's side, his eyes were full of worry, "Why are you looking so bad, are you injured? I'll take you back to rest."

"No need." Ji Chaoyun pushed Ye Chenxing's hand away, his eyes still fixed on the distance, "You guys continue...I, I'll go first."

"But--"

Ye Chenxing wanted to say something more, but on the high platform, the deacon disciple called out his name.

He is the next freshman to participate in the assessment.

Ye Chenxing gave a "tsk", turned his head and called out to Ji Chaoyun loudly: "Chaoyun, go back to Changqing Garden and wait for me, I will come to you after the assessment!"

Ji Chaoyun didn't respond, and left the ring without looking back.

The arena for the assessment was set in the open square on the front mountain of Hongmeng Academy, and at the end of the square was the ten thousand steps in front of the mountain gate.Ji Chaoyun chased out of the crowd, but he couldn't find the light golden figure just now.

The golden gong sounded again in the distance, and Baiyutai started a new round of assessment amidst the crowds.Behind the arena, a majestic high hall carved with white jade stands on the top of the mountain, surrounded by several peaks, quietly hanging beside the main peak.

Looking around, the entire Hongmeng Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, as if you are in the clouds.

Ji Chaoyun reached into his arms and took out the purse.

The purse containing the phoenix golden feather still exuded a slight heat, but other than that, there was no change.

Not really him.

Ji Chaoyun lived two lifetimes.

In the previous life, according to the agreement with that person, he stayed in the mortal world and waited for him to come back.But in the past 300 years, he didn't wait for the person he wanted to wait for, but instead waited for the person who killed him.The phoenix golden feather is a rare treasure in the world, and it is also the root cause of his life.

Fortunately, by chance, he was reborn a hundred years ago.

In this life, he practiced hard, took a hundred years to shed his demon body, ascended to immortality, and finally came to Hongmeng Academy.

Unfortunately, it still fell short.

Ji Zhaoyun slowly tightened his fingers until he felt the tingling pain from his right hand.He looked down, and on the back of his hand, there was a bloodstain from the back of his hand to the wrist bone, and the injury was already red and swollen.

The sharp stabbing pain continued to spread into the heart, Ji Zhaoyun looked at the red and swollen wound, clenched his teeth, and his eye sockets finally gradually turned red.

He didn't see a figure standing under the ancient pine not far behind him, quietly watching this direction.

Feng Qi stared at the thin figure, and was about to step forward, when a voice came from behind: "Your Highness, the discussion with the Immortal Venerable is over, I want you to see them. What are you... looking at?"

Feng Qi suddenly withdrew his gaze, and said in a low voice: "It's okay."

The people around him followed his gaze and said in surprise, "That's not that Ji—"

Feng Qi turned around and left, the man realized something, and chased after him with a smile: "That kid is really good-looking, if you also like him, why are you so ruthless, why don't you just let him go to school?"

"Fuck off, do you think my Highness is the same as you, men and women are not taboo?" Feng Qi cursed with a smile, and walked forward without looking back.

"...What's more, it's still a monster dragon."

It wasn't until sunset that Ji Chaoyun returned to Evergreen Garden.

The assessment has been completely over, and there are people in Evergreen Garden who are happy and others are sad. The Sanxian who passed the assessment has been assigned a pass order to enter and exit the various enchantments of Hongmeng Academy, and went to the academy to report.Those who failed the assessment packed up their things and went down the mountain one after another.

Ji Zhaoyun passed the noisy crowd with downcast eyes, and was about to enter the house, but was stopped from behind.

"Chaoyun!" Ye Chenxing hurriedly ran towards him, Ji Chaoyun turned around to look, and happened to see an extra pass token on his waist.

He passed the test.

Ji Chaoyun bent his lips and said sincerely, "Congratulations."

"Congratulations too." Ye Chenxing hugged him affectionately, and pushed him into the room, "Where did you go, I've been looking for you for a long time. Immortal Yaoguang who came to distribute the pass just now is also there Looking for you, seeing that you have not come back for a long time, so I gave the things to me. Here, yours."

He took out a pass token from his pocket and handed it to Ji Chaoyun.

Ji Zhaoyun was startled, and reached out to take it.

The access token of Hongmeng Academy is transparent in jade, and contains spiritual power faintly.Ji Chaoyun opened it and saw that his name was really engraved on the back of the token.

how come……

Isn't it stipulated that only three consecutive victories can be admitted?

"You played so well today, it would be unfair if you are not allowed to enroll. Immortal Yaoguang said that because of your outstanding performance in the ring, the academy made an exception to allow you to enroll." Seeing what he was thinking, Ye Chenxing He explained, "I have inquired about it. The disciples of Hongmeng Academy are divided into heaven, earth, mysterious, and yellow according to their ranks. They were originally sent to assess new entry-level disciples who should be the last. But today I will discuss with you The three people who beat them were all at the level of 'heavenly', how can they bully people like this."

When he said this, his voice was slightly lowered: "Besides, if you hadn't faced that peacock, you wouldn't have lost the last match."

"...Flower Peacock?"

"They all call it that." Ye Chenxing said, "That man's name is Feng Qi. I heard that he is the second prince of the Feng clan. He has been at the top of the list for 50 years. Not to mention you, even if we add one, we may not be able to beat him." he."

"It turns out his name is Feng Qi..."

"It's still Phoenix. It doesn't look like the Phoenix family in the legend. It's not bad to say that he is a flower peacock all day long." Ye Chenxing said, "Okay, it's getting late, pack up your things and go up the mountain with me, just wait is you."

When Ji Chaoyun came, he didn't bring many things. The two simply packed up, climbed up the ten thousand stone steps, and came to the square where they had previously participated in the assessment competition.

The two delayed for some time, and the enrollment report was coming to an end.The noisy crowd dispersed in the square. In front of the Baiyu platform, there were only two deacon disciples who were in charge of reporting, one tall and one short, still waiting.

Ji Zhaoyun stepped forward, but his eyelids twitched.

These two people went in and out with Jiang Cheng earlier, and they were people standing in Jiang Cheng.

However, the two disciples did not show any abnormality. They nodded at them, and explained a few things to note after enrolling with normal expressions.Then, the tall disciple took the lottery and handed it to the two of them.

In the stick, there are only two bamboo sticks left.

This disciple was named Xu Zixing, and he explained to them unhurriedly: "The rules of Hongmeng Academy require students to be assigned by lottery. The two came late, and the others have been taken away, and only these two are left."

Ji Zhaoyun and Ye Chenxing looked at each other, and saw similar hesitation in each other's eyes.Ji Zhaoyun shook his head imperceptibly, and took the lead in picking out a bamboo stick and holding it in his hand.

"No. 12 courtyard of Pojun Peak, Chaoyun, what is your number?" Ye Chenxing took the last lottery, and immediately turned his head to ask Ji Chaoyun after reading it.

Ji Chaoyun unfolded the bamboo stick in his hand, but there was nothing written on the bamboo stick.

Ye Chenxing frowned, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Ji Chaoyun.He looked up at the two disciples, and asked calmly, "What do you mean?"

"You got a blank ticket?" Xu Zixing explained with no surprise on his face, "There are 27 students enrolled this year, and every two people will be assigned to a courtyard. .”

With a wave of his hand, the bamboo sticks in their hands turned into a gleam of light and sank into the jade tablet at their waists: "...You two can now enter the teleportation circle next to it, and it will take you to your respective residences. "

"you--"

"Ye Chenxing." Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes, "Forget it."

"How can you forget it?" Ye Chenxing refused to give up, "You didn't write anything on your signature, who knows where they will assign you. Where is Immortal Yaoguang, I want to see him!"

"Xianzun is busy with important matters, so how can he have time to meet a new student?" Xu Zixing said, "Since you have entered the gate of my Hongmeng Academy, you must follow our rules. If you don't want to go, leave the pass token Next, just leave Hongmeng Academy."

"You man—"

Ji Chaoyun interrupted him: "It's okay, I'll go."

"Chaoyun!"

"It's a blessing to be able to go to school, it doesn't matter where you live." Ji Chaoyun said to Ye Chenxing, "You and I just went to school, don't make trouble, see you tomorrow."

After saying this, he raised his eyes, gave the two men a meaningful look, and stepped into the teleportation formation.Ye Chenxing snorted coldly, and followed into the teleportation array.

The figures of the two disappeared into the teleportation array, and the disciple who hadn't spoken all this time said with lingering fear: "Senior brother Xu, do you think this move is a bit too ruthless, in case you offend that..."

"With Senior Brother Jiang here, what are you afraid of? Who told this Ji to fight against Senior Brother Jiang? He deserves it. This is a good show."

Satisfied, Xu Zixing sat back in his original position and stretched his waist: "It's finally over, we're ouch——! Fuck, what bit me?!"

"Where is there anything, no?"

"Clothes, got into the clothes! Ah, bitten again!"

"Don't move, let me see—"

When Ji Zhaoyun opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene was completely different from before.

The frost and snow on the front mountain of Hongmeng Academy does not melt all year round, but the climate here is mild, nourishing the trees on both sides of the road to be lush.At this time, it was sunset, the sky was dyed red by the setting sun, and the afterglow sprinkled in the forest, revealing a bit of human and mountain scenery that I hadn't seen for a long time.

Ji Zhaoyun has lived in the mortal world for many years, and he has never been back since he ascended. Seeing such a scene suddenly, he feels nostalgic.

But... why would he be sent here?

With the attitudes of those two just now, even if Ji Chaoyun stepped through the teleportation circle and saw a simple and dilapidated thatched cottage, he would not be surprised.

There's no reason it's such a nice place.

Ji Zhaoyun continued to walk along the mountain path, and there was a green bamboo forest.The green bamboo has just sprouted new buds, and the fragrance of bamboo leaves blows over my face.Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a courtyard standing quietly.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, there was a wooden sign with flying dragons and phoenixes carrying a few large characters: "Wenqufeng No. [-] Courtyard."

Is this really the School of Disciples?

Ji Zhaoyun pushed open the open courtyard door and walked in.

It is said to be a disciple's residence, but it looks more like the mansion of a wealthy family in the mortal world.The courtyard is lush with flowers and plants, a sycamore tree stands in the courtyard, and tall shrubs shade the sun.Under the sycamore tree, a bamboo couch was placed obliquely beside the lotus pond, and a jug of wine was still warmed on the small table beside the bamboo couch.

There is no place where you can feel the bitter cold of Hongmeng Academy.

The owner of the courtyard didn't seem to be at home, so Ji Chaoyun stood by the stone bridge and waited quietly.

That pool of golden-tailed koi had never seen outsiders, and they poked their heads out of the water curiously.

Ji Chaoyun has always had a good impression of the aquarium, so he grabbed the bait by the stone bridge and threw it into the water.

The owner here even feeds the fish with the freshest small fish, shrimps and pine nuts, fried with special spices, which smells delicious.Ji Chaoyun squatted by the bridge, looked down at the bait in his hand, and swallowed unconsciously.

A group of carp eat better than him.

In Ji Zhaoyun's heart, there was a battle between heaven and man for a moment, and he became cruel, and sprinkled all the bait in his hand into the pond, and finally did not make a shameful act of grabbing food with the koi.

He stood up, but heard some running water coming from behind the house.

Ji Zhaoyun followed the sound of the water and walked around the houses in front of the courtyard. Behind the houses, a quiet path extended to the depths of the jungle.The further you go in the path, the more you feel the water vapor is abundant, and Ji Zhaoyun only realized later that there is a hot spring deep in the path.

He was about to step back when he suddenly heard the sound of splashing water in front of him.

"Who?"

The familiar voice made Ji Chaoyun's mind go blank for a moment, and he looked up subconsciously.Across the overlapping bluestone orchid grass, the man in the spring water turned his back to him, with a lean and powerful back with smooth lines.

The man turned his head, revealing an extremely handsome side face.

Ji Zhaoyun's breath stagnates.

It turned out to be Feng Qi.
