Ji Chaoyun exhaled in a rush, his coronary heart pounding shortly.

Luo Huan Constructing was so quiet, one might hear a needle drop. Even Bi Luo, up on stage, was shocked for a very long time earlier than reporting the most recent supply by Feng Qi.

This time, there was nobody who dared to compete with him.

After a ultimate name from the stage, Feng Qi chuckled and patted Ji Chaoyun on the shoulder. “Don’t neglect what you promised me simply now.”

After that, he acquired up and walked out.

After the bid was profitable, he wanted to comply with one of many attendant ladies to choose up the products, however Ji Chaoyun didn’t need to keep alone in Luo Huan Constructing. After promising in each potential manner that he wouldn’t run round, Feng Qi lastly agreed for him to attend exterior.

Watching Ji Chaoyun stroll out of Luo Huan Constructing, Feng Qi adopted the little magnificence to the again of the courtyard.

Luo Huan Constructing’s again courtyard was a lot quieter than the entrance corridor. Passing by means of the carved arches and the porch, there was a row of homes in a neat line, a picket signal hanging on every door.

This was the true play retailer of Luo Huan Constructing.

The woman steadily led Feng Qi to the deepest room within the yard with out trying again at him.

As quickly as they walked to the door, it swung open.

The woman bowed and left. Feng Qi stepped into the home and first smelled the faint perfume of peach blossoms. On a tender sofa throughout the room laid a slender magnificence reclining on it.

The lady wore an extended, peach-pink gown, a peach blossom pin in her hair. Half of her hair was tied up in a bun whereas the opposite half was unfastened and scattered, giving off a way of laziness.

She raised these apricot eyes of hers, yawned, and sat up as if she hadn’t but woken up from her sleep. “They informed me that you simply had been coming, and I nonetheless didn’t consider it. My little beauties stated that you simply introduced a person right here, and I couldn’t consider it.”

Feng Qi took off his masks and raised an eyebrow on the girl. “Now you consider it?”

“I nonetheless don’t dare to consider it,” the girl stated quietly. “5 thousand high-grade non secular stones, in trade for a handbag. When did the Second Highness Feng grow to be a idiot?”

Feng Qi chuckled. “I simply got here to get a brand new merchandise to make my household’s darling pleased. He needs it, so I’ll purchase it for him. It’s so simple as that. Ah Tao, don’t you perceive?”

“Throwing out gold for a magnificence. That is certainly the fashion of Second Highness Feng.” Ah Tao opened her palm, and a handbag embroidered with a phoenix sample appeared in her hand. “However… Does Your Highness know what this factor is?”

Feng Qi stated honestly, “I don’t know.”

“What a coincidence, I don’t know both,” Ah Tao stated. “There’s a highly effective seal on this purse. I’ve tried many strategies, however I nonetheless can’t open it. Your Second Highness Feng’s acquire is probably not price that a lot this time.”

Feng Qi frowned. “However you set a excessive value.”

“If I might have opened this factor, I’d have given it a fair increased value.” Ah Tao threw the thing to Feng Qi and stated, “That seal is a divine deed.”

Feng Qi froze.

Ah Tao stated, “Your loved ones’s magnificence has good imaginative and prescient. Since being in Luo Huan Constructing, I’ve by no means come throughout items from the Heaven’s Area. To suppose it caught his eye at a look.”

Feng Qi solely felt that the factor in his hand weighed a thousand catties. He paused earlier than asking in a hoarse voice, “This merchandise… belongs to a sure god?”

In reality, there was no must ask these phrases in any respect. The second he held the purse, he felt an especially highly effective pressure. That energy was undoubtedly not what an bizarre immortal would have. This was divine energy.

Ah Tao: “Maybe. If you could find a solution to open it, you should inform me what’s inside.”

“I’ll.” Feng Qi put away the purse. His expression returned to regular. “The non secular stones might be delivered in three days, thanks for that.”

“Once more on credit score… You’re profiting from the truth that I such as you.” Ah Tao coldly despatched him away. “Gained’t be sending you off myself.”

Feng Qi circled and headed out.

It was nonetheless daytime, and there was nobody in Luo Huan Constructing’s yard. Feng Qi lowered his head and stared on the purse in his hand, his expression momentarily difficult.

He stared at it for a very long time. As if in a daze, he gently pulled the strings.

He didn’t anticipate that this purse, that Ah Tao had talked about nobody might open, could be

so simply opened by him.

Within the purse, a golden-red phoenix feather laid inside.

Feng Qi’s expression drastically modified.

.

On the opposite facet, Ji Chaoyun was nonetheless standing exterior Luo Huan Constructing as he waited. After the public sale room had ended, those that had no intention of in search of pleasure left one after one other. Luo Huan Constructing’s exterior shortly returned to its authentic clear state.

He watched the individuals coming and occurring the lengthy road, and sighed imperceptibly.

After all of the hardships to enter Hongmeng Academy, it was nonetheless unknown whether or not he might actually keep. Now he even owed such a big debt.

What was all of this about?

Immediately, Ji Chaoyun’s expression shifted, and he vaguely felt one thing unusual.

Somebody was watching him.

Ji Chaoyun regarded round. Avenue distributors hawked alongside the streets, and pedestrians got here one after one other. It regarded the identical as earlier than, however the feeling of being secretly spied on nonetheless lingered.

At this second, a darkish shadow flashed previous the slim alley subsequent to Luo Huan Constructing.

Ji Chaoyun thought for a second, then quietly adopted.

The alley was secluded. Previously, nobody ever handed it so numerous particles and dirt had piled up on the bottom. Ji Chaoyun rigorously stepped over the litter, and was turning on the nook of the darkish alley when he heard the sound of a pointy blade slicing by means of the air.

He instinctively blocked the assault together with his sword when he noticed the particular person in entrance of him— a black hooded gown and a black masks was hiding his face.

Ji Chaoyun’s coronary heart pounded.

Damaged reminiscences of the previous emerged with out warning. Wet nights, footsteps, males in black… In his earlier life, within the mortal world, he had by no means cultivated. Going through these high-level assassins, he had no energy to battle again, not even in a position to clearly see the face of his opponent.

Was it the identical particular person once more?

This thought flashed in Ji Chaoyun’s coronary heart for a second, and he subconsciously swung his sword to counterattack. The shadows of the swords at midnight alley left dazzling sparks. The 2 shortly exchanged a number of strikes, however the extra they fought, the extra puzzled Ji Chaoyun turned.

This sword fashion was not as murderous as the lads in black that had attacked him earlier than. This was even… fairly acquainted?

The blades engulfed in non secular energy struck one another, and the 2 retreated just a few steps on the similar time. Ji Chaoyun all of a sudden had the reply flash in his thoughts.

The latter additionally appeared to have realized one thing, and any motion all of a sudden stopped.

“You…” Ji Chaoyun spoke in confusion, however earlier than he might end talking, the latter turned and rose into the air, about to vanish from his sight.

Within the subsequent second, a golden mild flew obliquely from the alleyway, binding the black-robed man who had firmly jumped into the air.

The black-robed man fell to the bottom, embarrassingly rolling on the lane just a few instances earlier than stopping by Ji Chaoyun’s ft.

The eyes of the 2 briefly met. Bearing a responsible conscience, the black-robed man regarded away.

Feng Qi strolled in from the doorway of the alley and stepped on the stranger’s chest. “The place did this little thief come from? Daring to behave on this sea market, you don’t need to stay anymore?”

The black-robed man groaned after being stepped on, however didn’t reply.

Feng Qi exerted additional pressure to his foot, icily stating, “Communicate. Who precisely are you, and what’s your objective?”

In a weak voice, Ji Chaoyun requested, “Wait… Feng Qi, he appears to be…”

“Shut up,” Feng Qi reprimanded. “Didn’t I ask you to attend for me exterior Luo Huan Constructing? Why are you working round by your self?”

“…” Ji Chaoyun regarded very hesitant. He regarded on the man within the black gown, regarded up at Feng Qi, and whispered, “We… might know him.”

Feng Qi suspiciously raised his eyebrows. He bent down, and pulled off the masks of the person.

A well-recognized face appeared.

“—Jiang Cheng?!” Feng Qi was stunned. “Are you sick, dressing like this?”

Jiang Cheng gritted his enamel, his face flushing crimson. “You lifeless phoenix, take your foot away from me!” 1

Feng Qi stepped again and easily took away the golden chain that certain Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng shortly acquired up. He had simply rolled on the bottom a number of instances; his physique was coated with mud, there was a footprint on his chest, and he regarded significantly embarrassed.

Feng Qi checked out him up and down for an extended whereas, vaguely understanding issues. He joked, “What, Dufeng Island is lastly bankrupt, and has to ship their younger grasp out to dam the highway and steal to make a dwelling?”

“Fuck off. Even when the Feng clan goes bankrupt, we gained’t!” Jiang Cheng took again his masks, glanced at Ji Chaoyun, and stated with a responsible conscience, “It’s just a bit misunderstanding. I’ve one thing to do. Will depart first.”

“Cease.” Feng Qi stopped in entrance of him and stated slowly, “I’m afraid it’s not only a misunderstanding, proper? You simply got here out of Luo Huan Constructing?”

Jiang Cheng flatly replied, “What Luo Huan Constructing, I don’t know, I haven’t been in.”

“If you happen to haven’t been in, why do you might have the distinctive incense from Luo Huan Constructing in your physique?”

Jiang Cheng was startled. He subconsciously sniffed his garments. “How can there be the odor of incense… Are you a canine, such an excellent nostril?!”

Feng Qi calmly defined, “I didn’t odor it, I lied to you.”

Jiang Cheng: “…”

Feng Qi stated, “Because you admit that you’ve got been to Luo Huan Constructing, issues are simpler to deal with. Am I proper, Quantity 22?”

Ji Chaoyun was stunned. “You’re that Quantity 22?”

Jiang Cheng’s eyes averted their very own. He refused to confess it. “I don’t know what you might be speaking about.”

Feng Qi was not stunned by his response. “If you happen to don’t acknowledge it, would you like me to take you again to Luo Huan Constructing to search out a bit of magnificence as an affidavit? If it’s actually not you, I’ll return Younger Grasp Jiang’s innocence.”

Jiang Cheng couldn’t maintain on to his face2. Irritated to anger, he scolded, “So what if it’s me? Luo Huan Constructing opened its door to do enterprise. What’s the issue with me coming to take part within the public sale?”

“Why is it okay?” Feng Qi gritted his enamel. “You fool. You’ve gotten value me greater than two thousand non secular stones in useless. Shouldn’t you pay this invoice?”

Jiang Cheng stated in annoyance, “What shit. I didn’t know that it was you! If I knew, I wouldn’t have—”

His voice abruptly stopped.

Normally, Jiang Cheng was used to exhibiting off within the academy. It was uncommon for him to have this responsible look. His eyes shifted from left to proper, not daring to take a look at the 2 individuals in entrance of him.

Ji Chaoyun questioned, “Why did you go and bid? And why did you assault me simply now?”

Jiang Cheng didn’t reply, however Feng Qi replied in his stead, “Because you don’t need to inform, then I’ll do it for you. Somebody indulges his subordinate’s reckless habits. Now his conscience finds that he needs to make up for it, however he didn’t anticipate his bid to lose to me, so he wished to play some methods. He may need heard about our relationship in Luo Huan Constructing however was uncertain of our identification, so he wished to assault you to pressure me at hand over the merchandise.”

Jiang Cheng was livid. “This younger grasp doesn’t do this type of a factor. I wished to speak to you earlier than shopping for the stuff again!”

Feng Qi laughed. “Wonderful. Give me six thousand non secular stones, and I’ll promote it to you.”

Jiang Cheng was shocked by his shamelessness. “You rotten phoenix, how shameless are you able to be! Apart from, if it wasn’t for you who saved elevating the value, I might have gained it in lower than three thousand!”

“Say it straight if you happen to can’t afford it.” Feng Qi tilted his head and smiled. “Nicely, as I do know that Younger Grasp Jiang is poor, I’ll offer you a reduction. Three thousand non secular stones, how about that?”

“That’s extra prefer it…” Jiang Cheng nodded, and instantly realized that one thing was fallacious. “Wait, you each purchased the merchandise already. Why ought to I offer you cash?”

Feng Qi unfold his palms. “Didn’t Younger Grasp Jiang say that he needs to purchase it again? Taking your phrases again now?”

Jiang Cheng didn’t need to entangle with Feng Qi anymore. His head was hurting. “Wonderful, nice. You give me two days, and I offers you the non secular stones.”

“Will await the excellent news.”

Jiang Cheng snorted, then turned to take a look at Ji Chaoyun. The latter stood silently, saying nothing. Jiang Cheng’s lips moved, as if he wished to say one thing, however in the long run, he stayed silent and shortly left the darkish alley.

Feng Qi stared at Jiang Cheng’s again and grinned. “Look, isn’t somebody sending cash to our door robotically?”

Ji Chaoyun hesitated. “Why would he…”

“Why do you care about him?” Feng Qi glanced at Ji Chaoyun deliberately or unintentionally, and vaguely stated, “He’s a person who’s accustomed to being domineering, and he’s probably the most face-saving. He could make issues tough for you in entrance of others, however he won’t ever endure different individuals’s trickery. This type of insidious trick… Anyway, this particular person may be very annoying. Steer clear of him.”

Ji Chaoyun silently checked out him.

“What’s fallacious? Did I say one thing fallacious?”

Ji Chaoyun averted his gaze, expressionlessly stating, “No, I simply really feel that the phrase ‘boastful and domineering’ popping out of your mouth is a bit unusual.”

Feng Qi: “Are you not directly scolding me?”

“…No.”

Feng Qi checked out him suspiciously, and determined to not proceed the argument. He merely took out the purse from his sleeve and handed it again to Ji Chaoyun.

The purse had been re-fastened, and there was no hint of it being opened. Ji Chaoyun held his purse tightly, felt the slight warmth from inside, and at last calmed down from his uneasy temper.

Ji Chaoyun: “Thanks.”

Feng Qi didn’t say a phrase. He watched Ji Chaoyun’s look, and with a bit of little bit of sourness, he requested, “What the hell is that this that makes you treasure it a lot?”

“That is… from a buddy of mine.”

Feng Qi requested, “What buddy? Who’s he? Do you might have an excellent relationship? How did you meet?”

“…”

Feng Qi coughed calmly. “Simply merely asking.”

Ji Chaoyun positioned his purse rigorously again into his sleeve and apologised in a tender tone, “Sorry, his identification… will not be handy to say.”

Feng Qi’s brows subtly furrowed.

The feather plume in that purse was one thing that each one Feng clan members possessed. With the faint divine energy connected to the feather plume, it confirmed that its proprietor’s standing was extraordinary.

If he actually was an individual from Heaven’s Area, Ji Chaoyun mentioning that it was inconvenient to say was certainly not a lie.

However he was only a demonic dragon. How might he know somebody from Heaven’s Area? What was their relationship?

Feng Qi felt a slight displeasure in his coronary heart, however he didn’t present it, solely saying as standard, “Nicely, it’s late. Let’s head again to the academy.”  3

“Alright.”

When the 2 returned to the academy, it was previous haishi4. After the night class ended, there was a curfew within the academy. There have been no individuals in sight on the principle peak, just a few dim lights hanging on either side of the highway.

Ji Chaoyun subconsciously walked in direction of the route of Dengyun Tower, however was held by Feng Qi after which led again. “The place are you going?”

“Dengyun Tower.”

“What are you going to do in Dengyun Tower?”

Ji Chaoyun didn’t perceive what he was on the lookout for, and stared at him blankly. “Ought to I not go to Dengyun Tower?”

Feng Qi righteously exclaimed, “Forgot what you promised me on the public sale website? You offered your self to me to repay the debt. Earlier than the debt is paid off, you’ll naturally be my attendant and serve me personally day and night time.”

“…”

Feng Qi walked again and smiled in satisfaction. “Come. Return to Wenqu Peak with me.”

The creator has one thing to say:

Phoenix: Day and night time. Near the physique. Serving. Bear in mind wo~
