After Cultivating With the Enemy

"I said earlier that I shouldn't make an exception for him. The academy has never accepted a student with such poor qualifications!" In the meeting hall, a tall, thin, unsmiling middle-aged Taoist said angrily.

Yaoguang fiddled with the bamboo slips in his hand, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mr. Kaiyang, why is this so? Regardless of his natural spiritual roots, he must be able to climb Hongmeng Mountain. His cultivation is not weak, and his body skills are obvious to all, even if he is a low-grade spiritual root. ..."

"Is he a low-grade spiritual root? That's a low-grade spirit!" Kaiyang Xianjun blew his beard and stared, "I don't know why you protect that kid everywhere, even the mortal cultivation sects won't recruit such a We Hongmeng Academy don’t pick trash spiritual roots?”

Yaoguang argued hard: "What a waste, he even defeated two Tianzi disciples yesterday."

"That's useless immortal technique. If he uses immortal technique, he won't be able to survive those two!"

"You man—"

There were endless debates in the meeting hall, and Ji Chaoyun stood in the courtyard outside the hall, his eyes were downcast and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

There were faint voices coming from inside the door all the time, they couldn't hear clearly, but they were probably still talking about him.A gust of cold wind blew across the courtyard, Ji Chaoyun tightened his robe and sighed imperceptibly.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps behind him, and he looked back suddenly. An old man with white beard and hair was walking quickly, followed by a tall slender man.

It's Feng Qi.

Feng Qi has already changed into his disciple uniform.

The disciples of Hongmeng Academy wear light blue cloud patterns on a white background, and they are divided according to their ranks. The higher the rank, the more complicated the cloud patterns, and the end is elegant and elegant.

But wearing that clothes on Feng Qi's body, his demeanor is completely different.

This person has a handsome appearance, and the contours of his eyebrows and eyes are faintly aggressive, like the sharp touch of a sharp knife when it is unsheathed, sharp and compelling, even in plain clothes, it is not at all elegant.

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes met Feng Qi's for a short while, and he averted his gaze lightly.

It wasn't until the two came close that Ji Chaoyun bowed to the old man in front of him: "I've seen the immortal."

The current master of Hongmeng Academy, Tianshu Xianjun, paused for a while, and looked at Ji Chaoyun with a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes.But he quickly restrained himself and said softly, "Get up first."

After finishing speaking, he continued to lead Feng Qi towards the meeting hall.

Ji Chaoyun took half a step back, Feng Qi passed him by, and turned his head to look at him in a strange way.

This person has been standing here for an unknown amount of time, his blood-fade face is almost comparable to the color of the snow in the mountains, and there is no trace of warmth.He stood upright in the cold wind, his back was as straight as a green pine, but he looked extraordinarily thin.

Feng Qi couldn't help but slow down, as if he wanted to say something.

But Tianshu Xianjun had already walked outside the meeting hall, and turned his head before slowly opening the hall door: "What are you looking at, come in with me."

Feng Qi: "...Yes."

The moment the hall door opened, the debate in the discussion hall stopped instantly.

Immortal Kaiyang and Immortal Yaoguang lined up on both sides of the hall, and they both bowed their heads towards Tianshu Immortal in salute.

Tianshu Xianjun took his seat in front of the hall, and Feng Qi followed behind him step by step.Tianshu glanced back and forth between the two people in the hall, and asked, "What were you arguing about just now?"

Before Yaoguang could open his mouth, Kaiyang took the lead and said, "Mr. Tianshu, I am in charge of the entrance examination in the Examination Hall. Ji Chaoyun lost the last competition yesterday, so he should have been sent back down the mountain, but Lord Yaoguang wanted to make an exception and send him back down the mountain." Accept it. Now it’s good to find out a useless spiritual root, which will completely embarrass Hongmeng Academy.... Lord Yaoguang, why do you want to accept this disciple? Could it be that there is some benefit in accepting him? "

"How did you say that? I did it because—" Shaking my face flushed, I was about to refute, but subconsciously glanced at Tianshu Xianjun in the hall.

The latter quietly lowered his eyes and drank his tea, Yaoguang thought of something, and closed his mouth resentfully.

Feng Qi laughed: "What age is this, why does Lord Kaiyang still judge people with innate spiritual roots? If spiritual roots can really determine a person's achievements, why does the academy set up a leapfrog assessment?"

Kai Yang's expression froze: "Is it your turn to intervene when the immortals talk?"

"Okay, stop arguing." Tianshu Xianjun glanced at Feng Qi, and said quietly, "Feng Qi was called by me. He had a competition with Ji Chaoyun yesterday, and he knows a little about that disciple. Feng Qi, let's Tell me, how is that disciple?"

"He..." Feng Qi thought for a moment, then lazily said, "He has good body skills, I don't know his cultivation, but as for people... he's quite exciting."

Kai Yang: "..."

Fluctuate: "..."

Tianshu reprimanded: "Don't fool around."

Feng Qi spread his hands innocently: "I'm telling the truth."

Tianshu looked at him without words: "... Then, according to your opinion, how should we deal with it now?"

Feng Qi: "Since he has been allowed to enroll, wouldn't it appear that Hongmeng Academy is capricious and has no faith at all if we drive him out at this time? What's more, no matter how poor his aptitude is, he still defeated two Tianzi disciples." ..."

"That's because he didn't use the magic method—"

Without waiting for Kaiyang to argue, Feng Qi interrupted first: "But when Lord Kaiyang made the assessment regulations, he didn't say that it would not be allowed."

Immortal Kaiyang's face turned blue and white, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you can keep him if you want. But my Hongmeng Academy will never recruit waste, to make you laugh at the fairy friends. My supervisor proposes, Based on the quarterly examination after three months, if he falls into the third class, it proves that the spiritual talent is not enough to stay in Hongmeng Academy, and he will drop out of school directly."

Feng Qi wanted to say something more, but Tian Shu suddenly said: "Yes."

Yaoguang: "Mr. Tianshu..."

"Since Hongmeng Academy was established, it has never recruited low-grade spiritual root disciples. This rule cannot be broken." Tianshu said, "Just do what Kaiyang-Jun said."

The door of the meeting hall opened slowly, Ji Chaoyun raised his head, and Immortal Kaiyang and Immortal Yaoguang came out.

Ji Zhaoyun bowed to the two of them, Kaiyang snorted coldly, and quickly walked past him without paying attention.On the contrary, Immortal Yaoguang greeted him eagerly, and gave Ji Chaoyun a hand: "I'm tired of standing, I'm fine now."

"Immortal Venerable, I..."

Yaoguang waved his hand indifferently: "Don't pay attention to that fellow Kaiyang Jun. He is in charge of the inspector hall, and Jiangcheng is his favorite student. He must be upset that he lost to you yesterday. Hear it, it's a big deal." Sour."

"..." Ji Zhaoyun was silent for a moment, and asked, "Then... can I stay?"

Shaking his fingers unconsciously tapping the bamboo slips in his hand, he did not rush to answer, but said: "I ask you, why did you come to Hongmeng Academy?"

"I……"

Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes.

"Hongmeng Academy? Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Hundreds of years ago, under the starry sky, the man held him in his arms, and his steady and powerful heartbeat and the slightly trembling chest came through his back: "Hongmeng Academy is the highest school in the fairyland. Since the completion of Hongmeng Academy, You can go to various places in the fairyland to seek jobs, or become a fairy official guarding one side, and more importantly..."

"Hongmeng Academy has the only passage leading to God's Realm in Immortal Realm, the Gate to Heaven."

"However, becoming a god is a million times more difficult than a mortal's ascension to the Immortal Realm. Why do you need to go to the God Realm?" The man pressed close to his ear with a gentle voice, "When this matter is over, I will take you there myself, okay? it is good?"

The original promise was vividly remembered, but none of them thought that this seemingly simple promise had not been fulfilled after so long.

Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes, and replied softly: "I... don't want to be a mediocre person forever."

This answer is not uncommon in Hongmeng Academy, Yaoguang nodded: "I understand."

Yaoguang: "Just now, Lord Tianshu has decided to let you stay in Hongmeng Academy for the time being, enter the yellow character class first, and practice together with ordinary disciples. However, Hongmeng Academy has never recruited disciples below the middle-grade spiritual root, so you have a deadline. "

"the term?"

"You only have three months." Yaoguang pointed out three fingers and said seriously, "You must pass the quarterly exam in three months' time. If you fall into the third grade, you will be expelled early, understand?"

"I won't." Ji Chaoyun said, "Don't worry, Immortal Venerable."

"Good boy. By the way, I haven't received my disciple's uniform yet. You should go and take care of these trivial matters first, and then go back to the disciple's courtyard to rest. There is no homework arranged today, so you should familiarize yourself first, and come to me if you have anything to do in the future."

"I..." Ji Zhaoyun opened his mouth, but suddenly thought of something, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

He finally saluted Immortal Lord Yaoguang, turned and left.

Only Feng Qi and Tianshu Xianjun were left in the meeting hall.

Immortal Tianshu glanced at Feng Qi while tasting tea, after the latter sent away Yaoguang and Kaiyang, he stood in the hall with nothing to do.Tianshu was surprised and asked: "They have all left, why don't you go back to the classroom?"

Feng Qi looked more surprised than him: "I thought my uncle still had something to explain to me alone."

Feng Qi is the second prince of the Feng clan, and the younger brother of the current head of the Feng clan.And Tianshu Xianjun is their uncle.

Tianshu's eyes flickered strangely, and said, "I told you, don't call me that in the academy."

"Yes, Immortal Venerable." Feng Qi answered happily, but still had no intention of leaving.The two waited quietly for a while, Feng Qi asked, "So, the Immortal Venerable really has nothing to tell me?"

Tianshu: "What do you think I should tell you?"

"It doesn't matter, but I have a small question to ask." Feng Qi said, "Dare to ask why the Immortal Venerable treats Ji Chaoyun so favorably?"

Tianshu-jun paused, and asked back: "Did I treat him preferentially?"

Feng Qi smiled leisurely: "I am very clear about the kind of person Yaoguang Xianjun is. He will never be so concerned about a new student, unless he was instructed by someone. Your old wound has not healed, and you have already retreated It's been a long time, but today when I heard about Ji Chaoyun Linggen, I rushed to the meeting hall in a hurry. Uncle, do you still want to keep hiding it from me?"

Tianshu asked: "So, that's why you spoke for him just now?"

Feng Qi's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Even if I don't speak for him, uncle will keep him."

Tianshu didn't answer any more, and the meeting hall suddenly fell silent.

The two sat and stood, Feng Qi didn't urge him, but raised his head slightly, and looked at Tianshu calmly.His demeanor has not diminished at all, even in front of this elder who is highly respected in Feng Clan and Xianyu, he does not appear weak, on the contrary, he is faintly evenly matched.

After an unknown amount of time, Tianshu finally said slowly, "Ji Chaoyun...you really don't know this person?"

Feng Qi was taken aback, when we first met yesterday, Ji Chaoyun also asked him the same question.

Feng Qi has been staying in the Feng Clan since he was born, and has never taken half a step. Since he entered Hongmeng Academy more than 50 years ago, although he has traveled in the world, he has never made friends with any Dragon Clan.

Moreover, he never had any incomplete memories in his mind.

Feng Qi frowned suspiciously: "Should I know him?"

"No, you don't know him...Of course you don't know him." Tianshu sat on the main seat, looking at Feng Qi in the hall, but he seemed to see something deeper and more ancient through him.

Feng Qi wanted to ask again, Tianshu suddenly said softly: "This person has a connection with the Feng Clan, whenever a member of the Feng Clan meets him, he should treat him with courtesy and help him wholeheartedly."

Feng Qi was startled.

The Feng clan was born noble and arrogant by nature, and there are not a few people with high status in the world of immortals and gods.He has never heard of anyone who can afford to let all the clansmen "treat each other with courtesy and help with all their heart".

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

Feng Qi asked: "Who made this order, my brother?"

Tianshu shook his head, and said: "I can't answer other questions, so don't ask any more questions. Since Ji Chaoyun has stayed in Hongmeng Academy, you should take care of him and don't treat him badly, understand?"

"This..." Feng Qi was silent for a moment, not daring to tell the story of letting the little demon dragon sleep in the bamboo forest yesterday.

Tianshu began to chase people away: "Okay, let's go. Tianxuan Lord came to me to complain two days ago, saying that you can't go to eight out of ten morning classes, and you can't wake up when you arrive at the classroom twice. .I know you have high talent and cultivation base, but you are still in Hongmeng Academy after all, even if you pretend, pretend to be well-behaved for me."

"Understood, uncle."

Feng Qi was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "I have another question."

"You said."

"That Ji Zhaoyun..." There was a rare look of hesitation in his eyes, and he asked cautiously, "Is he really my brother's old lover?"

"..." Tianshu's expression was blank for a moment, and he reacted when he saw Feng Qi's smile, and angrily said: "Nonsense, no one is upright, go back to class!"

Feng Qi sneered, and got out.
