Feng Qi’s one-on-one tutoring was nonetheless ongoing at Swordplay Area, however one may say it was extra like a one-sided slaughtering.

As soon as the Heaven-level disciple received severe, his weary look was nothing however a blur to onlookers, overwhelming Xu Zixing whip after whip. The latter may solely forcefully deal with dodging at first, however his resistance step by step regressed, and he was lashed a number of occasions.

“Motion’s too sluggish. Rise up.” Feng Qi whipped Xu Zixing’s bent legs, knocking him to the bottom on one knee. “I heard you’ve been promoted from the Yellow to Black stage in your first 12 months of enrollment. If that’s the case, why can’t you even bear this?”

“You…” Xu Zixing panted, elevating his bloodshot eyes.

Feng Qi had dealt no heavy blows. With such low depth, even pores and skin and flesh wounds wouldn’t be left on an immortal’s physique, however he may clearly see that the opposite was simply making enjoyable of him.

Qi Xuan by no means stated something about what had occurred, however Ji Chaoyun had sought him out in entrance of his classroom; many individuals had seen it. Though Xu Zixing hadn’t been current, he may roughly guess that it should’ve had one thing to do with the stolen purse.

The one factor he didn’t anticipate was that Feng Qi truly helped Ji Chaoyun suppress the matter.

And never solely Feng Qi, but additionally Jiang Cheng.

After studying in regards to the state of affairs, Jiang Cheng had instantly rushed to the Anonymous Sea to redeem the purse he’d offered. From then on, he knew he had executed one thing fallacious.

What he didn’t perceive, nonetheless, was why these folks needed to help that demon dragon. That particular person clearly—

“Ugh—” Momentarily shedding focus, Xu Zixing was as soon as once more knocked to the bottom by Feng Qi.

The latter merely flicked his lengthy whip twice, reprimanding coldly, “Preventing with me, but turning into distracted. Xu Zixing, what are you doing all day? In case you don’t need to follow, get out of Hongmeng Academy as quickly as doable. Rise up!” 

Xu Zixing staggered to his ft. “Don’t push too far. You…”

Earlier than he may end his sentence, Feng Qi striked once more. Xu Zixing couldn’t concentrate on the rest. He rapidly dodged left and proper, however from the start to the top, Feng Qi didn’t even transfer half a step from his place.

“Heh… That was greater than 30 whips already. Can he proceed to combat like this?” Within the distance, a couple of Yellow stage disciples sat within the shade of the timber, watching the fierce battle within the distance.

“So merciless. He’d in all probability must lie in mattress for a couple of days,” Ye Chenxing exclaimed. “How did Xu Zixing provoke this ancestor? He robbed his spouse?” 

“Cough cough—” Ji Chaoyun choked upon listening to these phrases. Nonetheless coughing, he stated, “Don’t

discuss nonsense.” 

“Did I suppose it fallacious?” Ye Chenxing stated. “That flower peacock has at all times been defiant. Who dares to impress him? Have you ever ever seen him involved about one other? Tsk, I’m afraid Xu Zixing is banging onto the iron plate.”

The few folks behind him have been nonetheless discussing in low voices. Ji Chaoyun stared on the far distance, on the tall determine standing throughout the barrier, and misplaced focus for some time. 

Abruptly, the barrier shattered. Xu Zixing was kicked out of the enchantment by Feng Qi, and rolled a number of occasions on the grass. He rolled till Ji Chaoyun’s ft earlier than stopping, and sturdily gave him a five-body bow.

The viewers: “…”

Feng Qi put away his golden whip and walked in the direction of the group as if nothing had occurred.

“What have been you all speaking about?”

Ye Chenxing guiltily shrank behind Ji Chaoyun. Ji Chaoyun couldn’t keep away from him, so he needed to chew the bullet and replied, “Nothing a lot.”

Feng Qi appeared down at Ji Chaoyun, his lips curled in a smile.

He glanced at Xu Zixing, who lay on the grass, unable to stand up. He stated loudly, “We’ll finish it right here. Those that didn’t go have to repeat the cultivation strategies 100 occasions, particularly you, Xu Zixing. Copy it 300 occasions, and provides it to me to look by means of personally.”

After Feng Qi completed saying this, he lowered his head and informed Ji Chaoyun, “I’ll return first. Don’t go to Dengyun Tower tonight, simply head again to Wenqu Peak immediately. I’ve one thing to let you know.” 

“…”

Feng Qi urged, “Did you hear me?”

“…Received it.”

“That’s extra prefer it.” Feng Qi gave a happy smile. “Proceed your follow.”

And with that, he lifted his foot throughout the half-dead Xu Zixing, and walked away swaggeringly.

“…” Ji Chaoyun gave a helpless sigh. He turned his head, and a bunch of Yellow stage disciples all checked out him in astonishment.

Ye Chenxing’s expression appeared as if he have been nonetheless dreaming. “He… he stated what simply now…?”

Bei Ran had the identical entranced look. “Again to… Wenqu Peak?”

Ji Chaoyun held his brow. “…Each of you hearken to my rationalization.”

.

Feng Qi didn’t head again to Wenqu Peak.

At this second, the disciples have been all taking courses within the again mountain, and the sq. in entrance of the principle peak was extraordinarily empty. He went previous the entrance mountain, and shortly got here exterior the Wenxin Hall2 the place the Academy’s elders dealt with enterprise.

Surrounded by cedars within the entrance, the temple gave off a pure and stylish feeling. Feng Qi was about to knock when the door creaked open.

“…” Feeling surprisingly hesitant, Feng Qi paused earlier than strolling in.

The corridor was burning with faint incense, and Immortal Elder Tian Shu sat within the interior room along with his eyes closed. Regardless of noticing Feng Qi’s presence, he didn’t open his eyes.

Feng Qi respectfully bowed to him. “Uncle.”

Tian Shu quietly requested, “Why did you come discover me? What hassle did you make now?”

Feng Qi refused to say that he went to the Yellow and Black second-level disciples’ afternoon class to stir hassle. As a substitute, he smiled and stated, “In fact it’s not like that. In your3 coronary heart, I like to make hassle a lot?”

Tian Shu muttered out, “…Say it. Why are you right here?”

Feng Qi’s smiling expression dimmed barely. He leaned beside the sofa that Tian Shu was sitting on, shifting barely nearer. “I do need to ask my uncle about one thing. It’s about… Gods’ Realm.”

Tian Shu sucked in a breath. Ultimately, he raised his head. “Why are you asking about this?”

Feng Qi: “Beforehand, I learn this random guide in Dengyun Tower, which talked about my Feng clan’s predecessor who had ascended to the sky, and I used to be a little bit curious. Because the Feng clan as soon as had a god, why haven’t I seen them?”

“In fact you haven’t seen them earlier than. That was earlier than you have been born.” Tian Shu appeared to loosen up at this, additional explaining, “300 years in the past, gods and demons battled. The god faction suffered heavy injury and needed to recuperate, and will now not step out of Gods’ Realm. My previous wounds have been additionally from that point.”

Feng Qi frowned and questioned, “That’s to say, since 300 years in the past, there was no god within the immortal realm?”

“So far as I do know, none of them.”

Feng Qi’s eyes flickered and he continued to ask, “Then does uncle find out about a god’s deed?

Tian Shu stated, “A deed is a god’s distinctive imprint. After the deed is bestowed, solely the one who has made the bond with him or somebody from the identical blood because the god can open it. It’s a type of a guardian seal. In case you actually need to know in regards to the realm of gods, I’ll organize an Immortal Lord to lecture a category with you disciples one in every of today.”

“Thanks, Uncle.” Feng Qi contemplated for a second. “This disciple gained’t disturb Uncle in your cultivation anymore.” He then bowed in the direction of Tian Shu. As he was about to depart, Tian Shu abruptly referred to as out behind him.

“Feng Qi,” Tian Shu stated, “You have been on the Heaven stage once you enrolled. We, as Immortal Elders, truly can’t train you a lot issues. You must have been capable of end your cultivation and go away, however have you learnt why I wanted to maintain you right here till now?”

Feng Qi’s eyes wavered. He answered in truth, “This disciple doesn’t know.”

“You don’t know, so why don’t you ask?” Tian Shu stared into his eyes and slowly recounted, “You haven’t been in school or working towards cultivation prior to now few years. Relying in your excessive stage of cultivation to oppress the others was simply you wanting me to drive you out of the academy.”

“…This disciple dares not.”

Tian Shu snorted. “You have been raised by me. Your ideas, how may I not know? …I hold you right here as a result of you’re a disciple from the youthful technology, and amongst them, essentially the most promising one to transcend the gates of heaven.

“1000’s of years in the past, the 2 realms of immortals and gods have been initially one. Later, the gods used their boundless divine energy to kind a realm of their very own. Since then, solely the heavenly gates of Hongmeng Academy can permit immortals to ascend to grow to be gods,” Tian Shu stated. “The heavenly gates have infinite karmic fires left by the gods. Solely after enduring the ache of the karmic fireplace can one efficiently ascend to the sky. For a whole lot of years, you’re the first particular person I’ve hoped to ever succeed.”

The room was dim. Feng Qi stood the place mild and shadow met, his expression unclear.

Then, he chuckled. “I thanks for Uncle’s excessive hopes, however this disciple has by no means had any nice ambitions. I’m afraid to disappoint Uncle.”

Tian Shu clearly didn’t anticipate such a solution from him. He was shocked. “You…”

Feng Qi: “Let’s cease right here. This disciple will retire first.”

Feng Qi turned and left Wenxin Corridor. The door slowly closed, and the within returned to silence. For a very long time, within the dim temple, solely an imperceptible sigh could possibly be heard from the headmaster.

Haishi4. Night courses ended. 

When Ji Chaoyun went again to Wenqu Peak, Feng Qi was sitting by the lotus pond feeding the fish.

Listening to footsteps, Feng Qi raised his eyes and smiled, waving at him. “Come right here.”

“Why are you on the lookout for me?” Ji Chaoyun requested. 

“Can’t I simply search for you?” Feng Qi didn’t reply immediately, as a substitute replying, “Right now, I’ve helped you launch such an enormous resentment. Shouldn’t you correctly specific your due to me? Or do you suppose it’s not sufficient? Nevertheless you intend to cope with him, I’ll assist.”

“…” Ji Chaoyun was speechless. “No want.”

“Actually no want?” Feng Qi supported his chin, observing his expression. He half-jokingly requested, “I clearly helped you, however I don’t suppose you appear to be comfortable.”

“It’s not that.” Ji Chaoyun stood by the stone bridge and replied softly, “I’m… very comfortable. Feng Qi, for thus a few years, you’re the first particular person to assist me retaliate after being bullied. I used to suppose… on this world, there could be nobody keen to assist me.”

“Then why are you…”

“However subsequent time, please, don’t do that once more.” Ji Chaoyun stared on the koi splashing about within the waters as they scrambled for meals. With issue, he elaborated, “Xu Zixing beforehand wished to assist Jiang Cheng vent his anger. I used to be bitter, so I harm him with the religious gu5. However in the long run, his dangerous angle solely intensified. This world is like this, repaying resentment with the identical sort, creating increasingly incidents.”

“Then you definately would quite bear this injustice?”

“No, I didn’t imply that… “Ji Chaoyun shook his head. “I’ve encountered one thing worse than this. Analysing all of it, it simply means I’m not sturdy sufficient. It’s good to depend upon one other, however there are some folks, although capable of defend you for some time, that can’t defend you for a lifetime. Ultimately, you may solely depend on your self. I’ve understood this since 300 years in the past.”

Feng Qi was startled.

Ji Chaoyun raised his hand, brushing towards the purse that was nonetheless emitting the slightest warmth from his garments. “Feng Qi, I’m very grateful to your assist, however actually… allow us to cease right here.” 

Don’t give him hope. This sort of factor, experiencing it as soon as was sufficient.

Feng Qi stared at him. The celebrities within the sky shone, and the moonlight’s brilliance was mirrored brightly within the water, additionally reflecting Ji Chaoyun’s notably pale face.

After some time, Feng Qi threw the remaining bait in his hand into the water, patted his garments and stood up. “I perceive what you imply, and I recognize your ideas, however there’s something you stated that’s fallacious.”

“What’s it?”

Feng Qi abruptly leaned ahead. Ji Chaoyun instinctively leaned again, his again hitting the stone bridge’s wall.

The gap between the 2 of them immediately grew to become only some hairs aside. Ji Chaoyun stared at these darkish but clear orbs, playfulness and self-confidence shining inside them. 

“I don’t know who you encountered to trigger you to grow to be so nervous about features and losses,  and be unable to belief others. However I’m totally different from different folks. For these folks whom I, Feng Qi, need to defend, they won’t be left unprotected.”

He straightened up and rubbed Ji Chaoyun’s hair. “So, focus on cultivating and don’t suppose an excessive amount of about it. For on daily basis you keep in Hongmeng Academy, I gained’t allow you to be wronged. When you may go away this place, you’ll grow to be sturdy sufficient, naturally not needing me to guard you.”

He stepped again barely, and the acquainted domineering aura surrounding Ji Chaoyun disappeared. Solely then did he step by step regain his breath.

Feng Qi turned and walked in the direction of the bedchamber. Ji Chaoyun referred to as out to him, solely to comprehend that his voice was shockingly hoarse, “Why are you serving to me?”

Feng Qi paused.

“As a result of…” He lowered his head and narrowed his eyes as a delicate smile appeared on his lips, however when phrases left his mouth, they modified. “In fact it’s as a result of somebody needs me that will help you.”

“Who?”

“Simply go away it alone.” Feng Qi didn’t flip again, merely waving his hand and stated, “I don’t plan on getting somebody to scrub the left bedchamber. You’ll be able to settle it your self at any time when you could have time. However earlier than ending it, I’ll can help you sleep in mine.”
