After Cultivating With the Enemy

After a while, Feng Qi got up and went to take a shower behind the house.

Ji Chaoyun sank into the soft bed, too tired to move a finger.

With his eyes half closed, he didn't need to consciously sense Feng Qi's not-too-far-near aura. It was peaceful and powerful, making him feel calmer than ever before.

After about a stick of incense, Feng Qi came back.

He changed into a bathrobe, wrapped in the smell of green bamboo and spring water, and hugged Ji Chaoyun from behind.

Feng Qi glanced at the scriptures thrown aside by Ji Chaoyun, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you going to review your homework, why can't you pay it back?"

"I don't want to move." Ji Chaoyun shrinks into Feng Qi's arms, a little depressed for no reason.

Feng Qi laughed and said, "Can't bear to part with me?"

"..." Ji Zhaoyun was silent for a long time, and responded softly, "En."

I don't want him to go.

I don't want him to retreat for so long.

Feng Qi didn't expect him to answer, but when he heard him say that, he was taken aback for a moment, and his heart suddenly softened beyond words.

"Chaoyun..."

"Don't worry about me, I'm just..." Ji Chaoyun hooked Feng Qi's clothes with his fingers, and said softly, "The Immortal Master Tianshu is right, you have to go to seclusion, your cultivation base has not yet stabilized, and it will take too long The longer it goes on the less safe it becomes."

Feng Qi didn't know the real condition of his body, but Ji Chaoyun did.

With that divine power in his body, the danger of losing control is conceivable, and no one dares to take this risk.

He understands.

But it's just...

Just don't want him to go.

Ji Chaoyun turned over and buried his head in Feng Qi's arms angrily, unable to explain why he was sullen.

Feng Qi stroked Ji Chaoyun's hair comfortingly, a little dumbfounded.

Xiaolong has been raised by him recently and has gradually become arrogant and indulgent, and he has become petty-tempered.

"Don't worry, I won't go for too long." Feng Qi comforted, "I'm in the Lingxu Cave in the back mountain, and I can't escape. If you are worried, you can come and see me anytime."

Ji Chaoyun whispered: "I'm not worried..."

"I see."

Those 300 years left too many bad memories for Ji Chaoyun, he became afraid of parting, became worried about gains and losses, and wished he could guard each other all the time.

Now is the last time for Feng Qi to leave.

"Sorry, I don't want to leave now either." Feng Qi said, "But I can't let myself stay by your side, if I can't control it like before, I really bullied you..."

"I'm not worried about these." Ji Chaoyun interrupted, "I've long since stopped being angry about what happened that day. Whatever you do to me, I will..."

"Shh, you still want me to rest assured to retreat, so don't say these words now." Feng Qi pressed his fingertips on the other's lips, and his voice was a little helpless, "Let me go, Xiaolong, you don't know how much willpower I used Just restrain yourself."

"..."

Ji Chaoyun shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Feng Qi hugged Ji Chaoyun tightly with a smile, and the latter suddenly said: "Then read the Taoist scriptures to me."

"……Um?"

Ji Chaoyun passed Feng Qi, fetched the scripture scroll that was thrown by the bed, opened the page he was memorizing, and handed it to Feng Qi: "The Taoist scriptures can clear the mind and concentrate the mind, and are good for practice."

Feng Qi hadn't read the Taoist scriptures other than the day before the assessment of the Taoist scriptures, he was silent for a moment, but his eyes touched Ji Zhaoyun's bright eyes, and he couldn't say anything to refuse.

He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll read it to you."

The afternoon sun makes everything comfortable and lazy, and for a while in the room, only Feng Qi's low sound of reading, and the soft sound of flipping the pages of the book with his fingertips can be heard.

The chirping of insects and birds outside the house one after another, interweaving into a picture of tranquility and peace.

The next day, Feng Qi began to retreat, and Ji Chaoyun officially resumed classes.

During the two months of Ji Chaoyun's experience in the lower world, many things happened, and the disciples of the academy also heard about them.The Academy had already spread the news about the Demon Race, but the Immortal Master of the Academy had no choice but to not allow the disciples to discuss this matter. Everyone had no source of information and knew very little about it.

Seeing that Ji Chaoyun finally came back, everyone couldn't hold back, and they surrounded them as soon as they finished the Taoism class.

"I heard that you broke into the holy land left by the ancient gods and obtained many secret books and treasures?"

"You really met the demon army and killed the demon guardian?"

"Why did His Royal Highness Feng Er suddenly retreat? Was he injured while fighting against the demons? The demons are really so powerful that even Feng Qi can't retreat completely?"

……

Everyone asked questions one after another, and Ji Chaoyun's desk was completely surrounded.

Ji Chaoyun glanced at the crowd helplessly, and before he could say anything, Ye Chenxing took the lead in yelling at them: "Go, go, go to class. The Immortal Master Tianshu said that we are not allowed to discuss this matter indiscriminately, so there is nothing to ask. "

Beiran also said: "That's right, Yang Xianzun will come to take the exam in person at the opening of the afternoon class today, so you can't be late!"

The two rescued at the right time and sent away most of the students in the classroom, and then Ji Chaoyun stood up: "Thank you."

"It's nothing, it's a trivial matter." Ye Chenxing embraced Ji Zhaoyun's shoulder familiarly, and said with a smile, "However, I'm also curious about what happened to you in the past two months."

Ji Chaoyun said: "There are no rumors so mysterious, I will tell you later when I have time."

"Okay, I'll treat you to a drink while you rest and take a bath."

The three walked out of the classroom together, Ye Chenxing suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice, "By the way, you have to be careful of yourself these few days."

"Who?"

"Jun Ruzhuo."

Ji Chaoyun was startled, and then heard Ye Chenxing say again: "He insisted that Feng Qi killed his cousin, and he wanted to confront Feng Qi face to face. Now that Feng Qi is retreating, but you and he are going down together, Jun Ruzhuo is looking for If you don't get to Feng Qi, I probably will inevitably come to trouble you."

"He..." Ji Zhaoyun's eyelashes moved slightly, "Didn't he return to Lingyuanhai?"

Ye Chenxing: "I heard that Lingyuanhai didn't let him go back, but we don't know the details."

"A few days ago, I saw him making a big fuss at Tianshu Xianzun's place, and wanted to ask the Feng clan for an explanation." Bei Ran said, "I heard that Jun Ruzhuo was taken care of by the third prince of the Dragon King since he was a child, and his relationship is like a family. Like a brother, no wonder he is like this."

"Anyway, there's no harm in avoiding him." Ye Chenxing sighed, "We can't afford to offend a clan with such a high status in the Immortal Domain."

Ji Zhaoyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Does he know that I'm back?"

Ye Chenxing: "Not many people know about your return yesterday, but the resumption of classes today will probably spread the news soon."

Ji Zhaoyun said calmly: "Then he will come to me soon, and he can't escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them paused.

Not far ahead of the pine forest path, a slender figure stood there with a pale and haggard expression.

Jun Ruzhuo.

Ye Chenxing and Beiran subconsciously stood in front of Ji Chaoyun, but Ji Chaoyun stopped him: "It's okay, you go to class first, I'll chat with him."

Even though the two were a little worried, they had no choice but to leave as promised.

At this time, the morning class was just over, and there were still disciples passing by from time to time in the pine forest path.Jun Ruzhuo glanced at Ji Chaoyun, turned his head and walked deep into the path.Ji Zhaoyun sighed softly and followed.

Jun Ruzhuo went all the way to the depths of the pine forest path.

Seeing that there are no more outsiders here, Ji Chaoyun said, "Ah Zhuo, just speak up if you have something to say, and don't go any further."

Jun Ruzhuo's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned his head: "I thought it was you who wanted to speak directly to me."

Ji Zhaoyun closed his eyes and said softly, "I understand your feelings, and I'm sorry that things will turn out like this."

"Are you sorry?" Jun Ruzhuo walked quickly back to Ji Chaoyun, grabbed his collar, "Okay, then tell me, did Feng Qi do it?"

Ji Zhaoyun held the back of his hand: "Calm down."

"How do you want me to calm down?" Jun Ruzhuo's eyes were red, and he sneered, "You don't know yet, Ling Yuanhai has already concluded the coffin, saying that the third cousin died at the hands of the Mozu. The Fengzu helped to fill it up." After the crack in the seal of the demon realm in the temple was cleared, Ling Yuanhai even specially sent someone to the door to thank him. Heh...it's ridiculous!"

"You just asked me to find the location of the Lingyuan Sea God Temple, and within a few days, the third cousin died in the temple. It happened that Feng Qi was at the scene and you were not. Brother, I am not a fool."

Jun Ruzhuo took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his voice steady: "I didn't tell anyone your identity, I just want to ask now, who killed the third cousin. Is it you or Feng Qi?"

Ji Zhaoyun looked into his eyes and said calmly, "If I say it's me, what will you do?"

Jun Ruzhuo shook his head: "No, it can't be you, with your current cultivation, you don't even—"

Ji Chaoyun said: "Jun Jue's innate talent is not high, and his physical skills are far inferior to mine. What's more, I have Feng Qi to assist me, he is no match."

"But you have no reason to do this, why would you..."

"He started to kill me 300 years ago, and he was determined to kill me. I will return to the Immortal Realm, so I should have revenge."

Jun Ruzhuo lowered his head, his fingertips trembled so much that he could barely grasp Ji Chaoyun's clothes: "It can't be like this, it can't be like this...Jun Yan, tell me the truth!"

"Then what do you think the truth is?"

Jun Ruzhuo froze.

Ji Chaoyun opened Jun Ruzhuo's hand bit by bit, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "I was not there when Jun Jue died, Feng Qi has been proven to have nothing to do with this matter, and the third prince of the Dragon King died of entanglement with the demon clan." In the fight, this is the truth."

"Ah Zhuo, no matter what guesses you have in your mind, it's meaningless. You can't get any so-called truth from me."

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears at the end of the young man's eyes, and said softly: "The dead are gone, the living must live on, don't pester them any more."

"But, but..." Jun Ruzhuo lowered his head, "But what about Ling Yuanhai?"

The Dragon King of Lingyuan Sea has been seriously injured for many years, his eldest son's cultivation base was abolished, his second son died in the flames of war, and his only youngest son also died accidentally. The formerly famous Lingyuan Sea now has no successors.

Jun Ruzhuo grabbed Ji Chaoyun's hand, his voice trembling and helpless: "Brother, teach me, what should Ling Yuanhai do now?"

"Ah Zhuo, I can't help you." Ji Chaoyun said, "I am no longer from the Dragon Clan of Lingyuan Sea. Now, it is you, not me, who can save Lingyuanhai."

"I……?"

Ji Zhaoyun helped him up, with a firm and gentle voice: "The dragon clan rules the world, and the Lingyuan Sea will never be destroyed because anyone leaves. It is not as fragile as you think."

The lunch time is approaching, Ji Chaoyun bids farewell to Jun Ruzhuo and leaves.

Jun Ruzhuo wiped his face, straightened his clothes, and was about to walk back when his steps suddenly stopped.

He lowered his head and took out a conch that was hanging around his neck from the skirt of his clothes.

The milky white conch is now glowing with a faint blue light, which is the unique communication technique of Lingyuan Sea.

And when only one person sends a message, the spiritual light will show this color.

Lingyuan Sea Dragon King.
