After Cultivating With the Enemy

The next day, the academy rested, and the selection of deacon disciples was held in each hall at the same time.

The quiet academy in the past was rarely lively, and there were many people in front of the main halls, among which the inspector's hall had the largest number of people.

The Inspector's Hall has a lot of work, so it recruits the most disciples and has the highest monthly salary, and the number of applicants far exceeds that of others.In front of the Inspector's Hall, there was a bustling crowd, and no one noticed that a faint golden light slipped into the hall silently.

Feng Qi and Ji Chaoyun showed their figures in the dark outside the side hall.

The selection of disciples was carried out in front of the main hall, but the back of the courtyard and several side halls were very quiet, with only a few disciples in charge of inspection left.Feng Qi took Ji Chaoyun to hide from the eyes and ears, and came to a side hall with ease.

This is the bedroom of Immortal Yaoguang.

Immortal Yaoguang is currently busy with the selection of disciples in the main hall, and there is no one in the bedroom, which makes it convenient for them to move.Feng Qi quietly pushed open the door, and dragged Ji Chaoyun into the room.

This aloof young prince of the Feng family is unexpectedly proficient in these petty thefts.

Ji Chaoyun secretly slandered.

The furnishings in the bedroom are simple and elegant, which is the unique unified style of Hongmeng Academy.The door was closed tightly to block the light, and there was no light on, so it looked a little dim.

Feng Qi said: "It's here, look for it."

Ji Chaoyun nodded, and the two began to search separately.Xianjun Yaoguang's bedroom is not that big, Ji Chaoyun went around the screen and entered the inner room, after searching for a moment, he found a sword box beside the bed.

The sword case looked simple and old, with engraved patterns on it, and it was faintly felt that there was a sword intent overflowing from it.

"Feng Qi!"

Feng Qi walked in quickly, but raised his eyebrows when he saw the sword box: "Is it really hidden?"

He raised his hand and pressed it on the top of the sword box, feeling a little: "Yes, the sword intent in it is indeed the sword of Immortal Yaoguang....He used to be equipped with a sword all the time before, but recently he suddenly became unsuitable , but hid the sword in the house, it’s a guilty conscience.”

Ji Zhaoyun lowered his eyes and didn't answer, vaguely feeling that things were not that simple.

Feng Qi said: "There is no lock on this sword case, and there is no magic seal. Let me open it for you. Are you the sword that chased you back then?"

Ji Chaoyun responded, and Feng Qi cast a spell to uncover the sword box.

The lid was lifted, and a clear sword intent came into view first.

The matching sword in the box was slender, less than two fingers wide, with a dark jade stone falling on the hilt, and the sword body lay quietly in the silver-white scabbard, faintly glowing with pure immortal power.

Ji Chaoyun's heart sank.

It wasn't the sword that the man in black used to kill him.

Feng Qi observed Ji Chaoyun's expression, and frowned slightly: "Isn't it this sword?"

Ji Chaoyun shook his head: "No."

"Are you sure?"

Ji Zhaoyun closed his eyes, tried to force himself to recall what happened on that rainy night, and said with difficulty: "I remember... that sword is very long, but the blade is not so narrow, the whole body is simple, and it doesn't have such pure fairy power."

"Yes, fairy power." Ji Zhaoyun suddenly realized, "There is no trace of fairy power on that sword, so I never thought it was something from the fairyland."

Feng Qi's face darkened slightly, and after a while, his brows relaxed, but he didn't show much loss: "It seems that my intuition is wrong this time?"

"Feel sorry……"

Feng Qi smiled softly: "There is nothing to apologize for, you never have to say these two words to me, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, the expressions of both of them changed.

someone is coming.

Feng Qi quickly cast a spell to restore the sword box, and embraced Ji Chaoyun, turning into a golden light and leaping onto the beam.

Almost at the same time, the door of the bedroom was pushed open forcefully.

Several inspecting disciples stepped in quickly: "Who's in there? Come out!"

No one in the house responded, and the few people quickly searched around: "No one?"

While the few people were talking, no one paid attention, and the golden light slipped out through the gap in the opened door.

The two appeared in the dark of the courtyard just now.

The inspector's hall was no longer peaceful, and several teams of inspection disciples searched around the courtyard and side halls.At this time, several disciples happened to be walking towards their direction, Feng Qi decisively pulled Ji Chaoyun to hide behind the rockery.

Feng Qi covered Ji Chaoyun's mouth with one hand to prevent him from making a sound, and looked outside, seeing that those people didn't find them, he felt relieved a little.

The gap behind the rockery is narrow, and it is a bit reluctant to hide the two of them.Feng Qi had no choice but to bend down and bow his head, his body almost clinging to Ji Chaoyun's body.

An overly familiar aura enveloped him, and Ji Chaoyun raised his eyes to look at the face that was so close at hand, feeling a little lost.

After these days, he originally thought that he had clearly distinguished these two people, but when Feng Qi approached like this, his heart was still unavoidably out of rhythm.

so similar……

The footsteps faded away, but none of them moved.

The two just looked at each other quietly, for a while, Feng Qi asked softly: "What are you looking at?"

Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth to speak, but Feng Qi didn't let go of his hand covering his lips, so he couldn't utter a word.

"Hush." ​​Feng Qi looked down at him, and some unconcealable emotion poured out of those eyes.He raised his hand propped on the stone wall, and with his fingers, Ji Chaoyun's loose strands of hair were drawn behind his ears, "I'll just pretend you're looking at me."

The air behind the rockery seemed to become extremely thin at this moment.

Ji Zhaoyun's lips touched the other's warm palm, and the familiar breath wrapped him tightly, as if the old days had reappeared.

Afterwards, Feng Qi smiled lightly and let go of Ji Chaoyun.

Ji Zhaoyun's expression was still a little dazed: "You..."

Feng Qi's expression was as natural as if nothing had happened just now, and he instructed: "Yaoguang has noticed something, but now he can't fly out. I'll go and lure him away, and after he leaves, find a chance to sneak to the main hall. If someone finds out, just say you’re here to participate in the selection, and it’s fine if you accidentally get lost.”

"...Go back directly after going out, see you at Wenqu Peak."

After he finished speaking, his figure turned into a golden light and disappeared again.

Ji Zhaoyun stared at the direction he was going away, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Over there, chase!"

A disciple's voice could be heard outside, and after a while, the sound of footsteps faded away, and the courtyard where Ji Zhaoyun was hiding finally became quiet.

With a soft sigh, he stepped out from behind the rockery.

Feng Qi led away the inspecting disciples around here, Ji Chaoyun didn't bump into anyone along the way, and soon came to the vicinity of the main hall.The selection of disciples in front of the main hall had stopped, and a group of disciples waiting for selection were waiting in the courtyard in front of the main hall, and the atmosphere was noisy for a while.

Ji Zhaoyun lowered his eyes and walked out against the wall. Just as he walked out of the inspector's hall, he suddenly heard a strange voice ringing in his ears.

"Don't go in a hurry."

Ji Zhaoyun paused and turned his head, but there was no one behind him.A spirit butterfly turned into a white awn landed on his shoulder, and the voice came out slowly: "Don't be nervous, I'm here."

This voice was clear and gentle, but Ji Zhaoyun had never heard it before.

Ji Chaoyun's expression was as cold as ice, and he released his spiritual power to sense for a while, but he couldn't sense the other party's real body.

This person's cultivation base is much higher than his.

Ji Chaoyun said softly: "Who are you?"

Lingdie whirled briskly beside him: "If you want to know, why don't you just come and see me?"

"Why should I listen to you?"

The voice smiled slightly, and said calmly: "If you don't come to see me, I will sue Immortal Yaoguang, saying that you and Feng Qi sneaked into his bedroom."

A faint light flashed in Ji Zhaoyun's eyes, he closed his eyes, and suppressed the strangeness in his eyes: "Lead the way."

The spirit butterfly circled around him and flew forward.

The owner of the Lingdie seemed to know the route of Hongmeng Academy very well. Lingdie took Ji Chaoyun straight to the back mountain, passed through a large pine forest, and disappeared in a puff of green smoke in front of a waterfall.

At this moment all the disciples were gathered in the front mountain, only the soft sound of running water and the light chirping of insects could be heard in the forest, it was extremely quiet.

Suddenly, the grass in front of him rustled lightly, and Ji Zhaoyun's hand hidden in his sleeve instantly glowed with spiritual power.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you alone, there is no malice." A snow-white figure came out of the bushes.

It was an adult-sized white fox, with nine fluffy tails trailing long behind it, the whole body was snow white, only the end of the tail was dyed a touch of light red.

The white fox stared at Ji Chaoyun with light green eyes, and said in a human voice: "I didn't expect to be so rude when we first met, I hope you can forgive me."

Ji Zhaoyun frowned slightly: "Are you Tianhu?"

"Yes."

The suspicious look on Ji Zhaoyun's face did not fade, and he said coldly, "What did you ask me for?"

The white fox took half a step forward, and said unhurriedly: "As you can see, I was injured a little bit, and I can't recover temporarily. I'm looking for the person who injured me, maybe you can help me."

"Why should I help you?"

"Because... what we are looking for may be the same person."

"...Two months ago, the Tianhu Clan in Qingqiu was attacked, and an extremely important treasure was lost in the clan. The leader of the attacker was wearing a black cloak, a pure white mask, and a sword covered in black air. Can't see the truth."

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes moved slightly: "What did they steal?"

The white fox paused, did not answer directly, but said: "These days I have not recovered from serious injuries, and I cannot recover my body, but it is convenient for me to move. I found that thing was brought back to Hongmeng Academy, and then I also found out that the black The man in clothes once appeared in Haishi to attack you. I guess, his next target may be you."

"Do you know what the purpose of the man in black is?"

The white fox looked at him fixedly, and said slowly: "The seal of the demon realm."

"300 years ago, Feng Xiaoshen sealed the Demon Realm and placed the sealing key on three treasures. Those three treasures were finally stored in the Tianhu Clan in Qingqiu, the Feng Clan in Fengming Valley, and a place in the human world. The place called Mount Sumeru." The white fox said, "Mount Sumeru is protected by the divine power of Fengxiao God, even we have not found its location so far. Now that Qingqiu's treasure has been taken away, his next target should be Fengxiao. Naruto."

Ji Zhaoyun's expression was cold, and he couldn't see the slightest clue: "I don't know anything about what you said, what is Feng Xiao's god, what does that have to do with me?"

The white fox paused strangely, and then continued: "After this happened, I immediately contacted the patriarch of the Feng clan, wanting to remind him to be careful. But it was only then that I learned that the God of Fengxiao had never stayed in Fengming Valley any treasure."

"In the great war back then, the fairyland was torn apart, and even my father was buried in that disaster. At that time, no one in the fairyland could be trusted. Maybe it was because Fengxiao wanted to protect the true meaning of the magic weapon. That’s why I lied together with the Feng Clan.”

Ji Zhaoyun's expression finally changed: "You mean..."

"We guess, will he leave something on you?"

Ji Zhaoyun lowered his eyes, the blood on his face faded, and it was white in the dark forest.

After a while, he said hoarsely, "How can I trust you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. I tell this just to remind you to protect yourself. The Feng clan is stronger than Qingqiu. If you meet that person, you may not be at a disadvantage. But you are different. If that thing is really on you , in fear of death."

Ji Zhaoyun didn't answer, he asked: "You said just now that you want me to help you? Do you know that person is in the academy?"

"I feel that the magic weapon stolen by the fox family has been brought back to the academy, and that person must be here." The white fox said, "I really want to ask for help, but... your little dragon has such low spiritual power, please protect yourself." It’s not easy for me, what can I do for you?”

"Then what are you..."

"He's looking for me." A voice interrupted coldly.

Ji Zhaoyun turned around and looked, Feng Qi walked forward with a blank expression, pulled Ji Chaoyun behind him, squinted his eyes and looked at the white fox in the bush: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have made yourself so embarrassed, how can you do it better?" What a shame, Bai, Qiu, Yue."

Wenqu Peak.

Ji Zhaoyun followed Feng Qi back to the courtyard, the latter kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

The courtyard door was slammed shut by Feng Qi, he turned the spirit storage ring in his hand, and a white fox jumped out of the ring.The white fox spun around dizzily on the spot for a few times, and stabilized his figure: "It turns out that this is the feeling of being put away as a spiritual pet. This is too dizzy."

Feng Qi looked at him with disgust: "How long will it take you to recover?"

"It will take a month at least."

Feng Qi gave a "tsk" sound and didn't say anything.

Ji Zhaoyun looked at Baihu, then at Feng Qi, and asked in a low voice: "So he is..."

The white fox finally shook off the fluff that had blown off his body, and said with a smile in his voice, "I didn't have time to introduce, the patriarch of the Tianhu Clan in Xiaqingqiu, a Tianzi-level disciple of Hongmeng Academy, Bai Qiuyue."

"Tianzi level..." Ji Chaoyun finally remembered where he had heard this name before, "Are you the Bai Qiuyue who ranks second on the Tianbang?"

Hearing Ji Chaoyun mention this matter, Feng Qi finally felt a little happier.

He turned his head and smiled at Ji Chaoyun, emphatically saying: "That's right, that's the Bai Qiuyue who entered school in the same year as me and lost to me in all five competitions."

Ji Chaoyun: "..."

Bai Qiuyue: "..."

Hongmeng Academy is a place of pure cultivation, and disciples often go to the lower realms to practice, or practice in seclusion.Regardless of whether it is experience or retreat, it can range from a few months to a few years. Therefore, the higher the level of disciples, the less they actually stay in the academy.

Looking at the top ten on today's list, there are only a few who stay in the academy.

Of course, Feng Qi is the only one in the academy for hundreds of years who doesn't go out for training, doesn't attend classes well, and just dawdles around all day.

Bai Qiuyue is extremely talented. She took up the position of the patriarch of the Tianhu clan when she was young, and she often leaves the academy because of important matters in the clan.Therefore, Ji Chaoyun has never seen him since he entered school.

Ji Zhaoyun resolutely did not answer the question, but heard Bai Qiuyue say: "But I am the first in the essay test."

"..."

He pondered for a moment: "Oh, occasionally it can rank first in the overall ranking, because His Royal Highness Feng Er never reads the Taoist scriptures."

Feng Qi gritted his teeth, and said sternly through the gaps between his teeth: "Just say one more word, and I'll kick you out."

Patriarch Bai flicked his tail lightly, and hid behind Ji Chaoyun.

Ji Zhaoyun met Feng Qi's gaze unexpectedly, and immediately looked away uncomfortably: "I, let's talk about how to do things now."

"Nothing to plan." Feng Qi didn't notice his abnormality, and said, "You have my protection, no one in the academy can touch you. As for this fox, it will be raised in Wenqu Peak this month until it recovers. If you die, get out of here immediately."

Bai Qiuyue: "Feng Qi, what I just said..."

"I heard it all." Feng Qi said, "We have checked Yaoguang's place today, it's not him."

"What about the rest?"

"There is no evidence at this time."

Bai Qiuyue fell silent, but Ji Chaoyun said: "But, is there really someone in the academy who has such a strong power, who can beat Senior Brother Bai back to his original form?"

Feng Qi's brows twitched sensitively, and before he could say anything, Bai Qiuyue continued, "What Junior Brother Ji said is something I've been thinking about. The man in black didn't use fairy art, it's probably some kind of demon skill I am thinking, if he is really from the academy, he should never have shown his true strength in front of us."

"... Isn't that more difficult to find?"

"Yes." Bai Qiuyue sighed softly, "If it wasn't for that, how could I come to ask you for help?"

The courtyard fell into silence for a while, and after a while, Feng Qi said: "Okay, now that the clues are broken, there is no point in frowning here, what to do."

Ji Chaoyun nodded, and was about to go back to the bedroom, but was stopped by Feng Qi: "You come with me."

"Where to go?"

"Climbing the Cloud Tower." Feng Qi said indifferently, "I haven't finished copying the scriptures that were punished."

Ji Chaoyun was puzzled: "But didn't you say yesterday that we will take a rest today and take a day off?"

"..."

Feng Qi glanced at Bai Qiuyue, only to feel that the fox is now brighter than the deep sea night pearl, and the more he looked at it, the more glaring it was.He withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Why don't you rest, the Temple of Discipline came to urge me to hand in the penalty copy as soon as possible yesterday, and don't rest until the copy is finished."

His Highness Feng Er has never taken the words of the Temple of Disciplines so seriously like today. Ji Zhaoyun was silent for a moment, but he couldn't find any reason to refute, so he reluctantly left with him.

It is a rare holiday when there is no celestial being giving lectures, and even the scripture pavilion has no disciples studying. Only in the warm pavilion of Dengyun Tower, there is still the sound of flipping through books.

Ji Zhaoyun quickly finished copying the copy in hand without raising his head: "Feng Qi, give me the copy you have in hand."

Feng Qi didn't answer.

Ji Zhaoyun raised his eyes to look at him suspiciously, but the latter was still sitting upright with a solemn expression.

"Feng Qi?"

Hearing Ji Chaoyun call him, the latter raised his head and glanced at him lightly, turned a page and continued to copy: "What did you call me?"

"..." Ji Zhaoyun's expression instantly became a little indescribable, and Fu Ling almost understood what Feng Qi meant.

He looked at the scriptures that Feng Qi deliberately pressed under his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Senior Brother Feng, please pass me the next book."

Feng Qi finally showed a hint of a smile, he flipped out the book under his hand and handed it to him, said with satisfaction: "That's good, don't always treat me indifferent."

Just as Ji Chaoyun was about to pick it up, Feng Qi's hand suddenly loosened, and he grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

Ji Zhaoyun subconsciously struggled, Feng Qi blinked at him: "Stop copying, I'll take you somewhere."

Feng Qi took Ji Chaoyun upstairs.

The top floor of Dengyun Tower is Feng Qi's residence, and the layout is no worse than the courtyard of Wenqu Peak.Ji Chaoyun stayed in Dengyun Tower for several months, and stayed in Shuge most of the time, never coming here.

Dengyun Tower is the tallest building in Hongmeng Academy, with an extremely wide field of vision, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire Hongmeng Academy from the top.

"Remember your entrance examination?" Feng Qi and Ji Chaoyun stood side by side in front of the guardrail, with a gentle voice, "I was here at that time, and I saw you defeat Song Zhifei and provoke Jiangcheng."

Ji Zhaoyun followed Feng Qi's line of sight, and he really saw the white jade platform.

Feng Qi put one hand on the guardrail beside Ji Chaoyun, as if he was holding him in his arms: "There is an enchantment outside Dengyun Tower, you can't see what it looks like from the outside, but you can see it from the inside. I can see the entire Hongmeng Academy and even Hongmeng Mountain in the distance. How do you feel?"

The distant mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sunlight penetrates the clouds and sprinkles on the Hongmeng Mountain, which is covered with snow all the year round, casting a golden light.

"It's beautiful." Ji Chaoyun said sincerely, "It's no wonder that Dengyun Tower can be the first prize in the sky list. It's really beautiful."

Feng Qi tilted his head to look at him: "You like it?"

Ji Zhaoyun was a little dazed watching, but didn't answer.

Feng Qi rubbed his hair lightly, turned around and entered the room, said with a smile: "If you like, this place can also be yours."

Ji Zhaoyun was startled.

His eyes moved slightly, and there was a trace of embarrassment in his voice: "Feng, Feng Qi, you...why do you say that?"

Feng Qi sat down on the soft couch in the room, stared at Ji Chaoyun's back, felt his throat dry, and said softly: "Why do you think?"
