Ji Chaoyun stepped back in panic.
The ground of the trail is covered with bluestone, and it is slippery and slippery because it is constantly moistened by water vapor. When he stepped back, he happened to step on a bluestone wet with water vapor, and slipped backwards with a thud.
Ji Chaoyun fell dizzy, and when he looked up again, a pair of bare feet stepped on the bluestone ground in front of him.
The other party's ankles were fair and slender, and above them were a pair of slender and powerful calves, which were hidden behind the robes they put on.
Feng Qi's robe was loosely tied, and the ends of her hair were still dripping with water. The water droplets slid across the delicately shaped collarbone and disappeared into the neckline, leaving a meandering water mark.
This is really a picture with too much impact. It took a while for Ji Chaoyun to regain his breath, his eyes slowly moved up, and he met the teasing gaze of the other party: "Have you seen enough?"
"I'm not—" Ji Chaoyun hurriedly stood up, his cheeks warmed slightly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in there."
Feng Qi looked at him up and down, and there was not much anger in his expression after being spied on. On the contrary, he even looked a little happy: "Why are you here?"
"I… "
"Night is coming, sneak into other people's residences, spy on other people's baths..." Feng Qi's smile deepened, and he took a half step forward, "I heard that your dragon clan is very active in that matter... today, it really lives up to its reputation when I see it."
"you-"
Ji Chaoyun choked on his heart, closed his eyes, and tried his best to keep his tone steady: "I went to Qianshan to report, and they assigned my residence here... Tongxing Yupai brought me here."
Feng Qi raised his brows, and then he noticed the jade plaque that Ji Chaoyun was hanging on his waist.
He walked in front of Ji Chaoyun, Ji Chaoyun instinctively stepped back, and his back touched the green bamboo on the side of the road.
"Don't move." Feng Qi held his shoulders, leaned down slightly, and picked up the access token with his dewy hand.
Ji Chaoyun was trapped in the square inch by him, and the warm moisture from the opponent's body rushed towards his face, mixed with the unique fragrance of bamboo leaves, which was almost breathless.
As if Feng Qi didn't realize it, he lowered his head, a shimmer of light flashed from his fingertips and disappeared into the token.
As they got closer, I could see that this face was exactly the same as the one I remembered. The shadows cast by the drooping eyelashes, the slight curvature of the end of the eyes when speaking, and even the subtle contours of the face are too similar, even the most subtle illusions are impossible to do.
Are there really two people who are so similar in this world
Ji Chaoyun suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and the emotions that had been suppressed came back, and even the fingertips could not control the trembling. He leaned back as hard as he could, forcing himself not to look at the face.
He's so close, it's like... a long-lost hug.
After the three competitions, Ji Chaoyun's physical exhaustion was already the limit. At this moment, the emotional agitation caused the immortal energy to leak out.
"Sure enough, the spell leading to Wen Qufeng was cast, but you..." Feng Qi raised his head as he spoke, and his voice froze.
Ji Chaoyun trembled silently, his eyes turned red, and a pair of silver dragon horns appeared on his forehead. Under the reflection of the setting sun, he could even see a shallow layer of slender and soft fluff on it.
"..." Feng Qi secretly cursed something, and a dryness suddenly appeared in his throat.
He went out a few days ago and only returned to the academy today. Then he heard that there was a little beauty in Changqingyuan who took half of the academy away. A startling glance on the white jade stage, this person is outstanding in appearance and neat, but he does live up to the rumors.
Too bad it's a chain.
Feng Qi has never actually met any dragon clan, but the dragon and phoenix clan have always been at odds, and he doesn't have a good impression of dragons, but now...
His eyes quickly glanced at the dragon's horns that were still trembling in front of the other's forehead.
… The dragon horns look so soft, I don’t know how it feels to touch
Feng Qi was impatient for a while, he straightened up, licked his lips unconsciously, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "What, I just look at the spell on your token, and I didn't do anything to you..."
Ji Chaoyun's back was slightly arched, the lines on his back were tight, and he hardly dared to look up at the person in front of him.
"How can you say that in two sentences, it's back to its original shape? It's not frightening." Feng Qi's hand was still on Ji Chaoyun's shoulder, and his fingertips poked his cheek at will. Unexpectedly, the hand felt extremely soft.
Ji Chaoyun froze all over, and turned his head to hide.
Feng Qi smiled: "Afraid of me?"
"No." Ji Chaoyun lowered his head and rubbed his eyes quickly, and said in a low voice, "Hug, sorry..."
The pair of dragon horns swayed as he spoke, and the small claws were ticklish.
Feng Qi's throat rolled silently, and suddenly he turned his head and walked out: "Your token is indeed the spell leading to Wenqu Peak. I believe you are not lying. But your residence is not with me."
Ji Chaoyun didn't want to be alone with him at all now, so he followed quickly and said, "I should have found the wrong way, so I'll go now."
"No, you can't go wrong." Feng Qi lay down on the bamboo couch and said leisurely, "You didn't find out when you came here that I am the only residence in the entire Wenqu Peak?"
"...In other words, I'm the only one on the entire Wenqu Peak."
Ji Chaoyun realized something and looked up at him.
Feng Qi picked up the jug and poured himself a glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, before suppressing the unexplainable restlessness in his heart.
He rubbed the mouth of the cup and explained: "My Highness is happy and doesn't want to be disturbed, so every time people who are assigned to Wenqu Peak will be driven away by me. If things go on like this, they will not dare to let anyone come to Wenqu Peak."
Ji Chaoyun: "..."
This is the first time I have seen people talk about bullying so confidently.
However, this explains why the two disciples sent him here.
He closed his eyes and replied, "I understand. You don't have to rush, I'll go by myself."
Ji Chaoyun quickly stepped onto the stone bridge.
"Wait." Feng Qi suddenly stopped him, "Your Highness hasn't finished speaking yet. Are you Dragon Clan so rude?"
"..." Ji Chaoyun held back his anger, "what else do you want to say?"
Feng Qi asked, "Where are you going?"
Ji Chaoyun was silent, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard Feng Qi say again: "The Disciple House has been allocated, you can only go to find Immortal Yaoguang to re-register. Yaoguang is busy with business, you bother him with such trivial matters, At least he said that it will take a month. The premise is that there is really time for you in the Seven Peaks Disciple Academy."
"...Don't even think about finding someone else to take you in. One pass token per person. Even if someone gives you the pass pass, you won't be able to go to other disciples' courtyards."
Feng Qiyao looked at the slender figure on the stone bridge, and a smug smile appeared on his lips: "It's curfew time soon, you violated the curfew when you leave Wenqu Peak. Little Demon Dragon, you don't want to enter the school on the first day. Is it forbidden?"
Ji Chaoyun turned around and asked him, "...What do you want?"
"It's what you want." Feng Qi's eyes were fixed on the pair of dragon horns for a moment, and he smiled slightly, and said jokingly, "Why don't you come over and beg me and make me happy, maybe I will promise you to live there. down."
- "My darling, apologize to me, and serve as my entourage for the school year. If I may be in a good mood, I will show mercy and let you go to school smoothly."
Really all the way.
The two looked at each other quietly across the lotus pond, Ji Chaoyun looked cold, and the originally ups and downs calmed down quickly.
It is not so easy to recover from his original appearance. Those eyes are extremely light in color, making him appear colder than before, and even look a bit arrogant.
Certainly not him.
He thought to himself, mockingly, that it's been too long for him to be so absurd that he thinks anyone is that person.
Even if they have the same face, they are still worlds apart.
Thinking of this clearly, Ji Chaoyun only felt relieved. He looked at the person reclining on the bamboo couch from a distance, and suddenly laughed softly.
Feng Qi was startled.
He has seen this person's neat posture in the arena, and he has also seen this person's aggrieved appearance when he was scared out of his original shape. No matter what kind of situation, his face is always tense, almost rigid and cold.
But when he smiled like that, the demeanor hidden under the skin of that wooden beauty could no longer be suppressed. The brilliance in the glazed eyes flowed, making people's minds sway.
"you… "
Feng Qi's throat was dry, but before he could say anything, Ji Chaoyun said softly, "You don't need to stay here. I borrowed Wenqu Peak to rest tonight, and I will leave tomorrow morning. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
After finishing speaking, Ji Chaoyun stopped looking at him, turned around and left the courtyard quickly.
The night fell quickly, Ji Chaoyun leaned against the tree trunk with his clothes on, his face was almost transparent in the moonlight.
"I entered Hongmeng Academy, and I met someone... who looks very similar to you." He whispered softly, rubbing his fingers on his purse, "It's strange, how can I treat others as you, I know it clearly It can't be you, no one can be you..."
He raised his head and stared at the endless night sky, with the stars in his eyes: "I will apologize to you after I see you. You can do whatever you want."
"… Good night."
In the early morning of the next day, freshmen who have just entered the school are required to take a root test at the main peak missionary hall in order to classify the disciples into grades. The hour was approaching, and everyone passed through the teleportation formation and came to the open space outside the preaching hall.
Ji Chaoyun was reading this book in the morning outside the mission hall.
They just entered school yesterday, and they haven't had time to distribute the uniforms. Ji Chaoyun was still wearing that silver-white coarse cloth robe, wrapped in chills in the morning mist, only revealing the slender fingers holding the scroll, like the new shoots of a willow leaf.
"Chaoyun!" Ye Chenxing walked towards him quickly, "How were you last night? Where did those two bastards divide you?"
Ji Chaoyun took the book and shook his head: "Don't mention it, I'm going to find Immortal Yaoguang today."
"Alright, I'll accompany you." Ye Chenxing followed a young man. He pushed the young man and said, "What are you hiding, haven't you always wanted to see Chaoyun?"
"Who is this… "
The young man's facial features are handsome, with some bookish air, he looks very nervous, his face is flushed: "I, my name is Beiran, you may not remember me, you rescued and rescued me at Xuanqiao before, thanks to you and me. …”
"It turned out to be you." Ji Chaoyun thought for a moment and remembered that this was the young boy he rescued at the suspension bridge the day before the assessment.
Bei Ran said tremblingly, "Brother Ji, I really... admire and... "
"Okay, shut up, you're nervous." Ye Chenxing slapped him on the back of his head, causing Bei Ran to stumble, "This kid is in the same disciple house with me, and he has been pestering me all night. You have to ask me to introduce you, but now it's this kind of virtue again, shameful."
Beiran blushed and touched his nose embarrassedly.
Ji Chaoyun: "It doesn't matter, we will all be classmates in the future, just take care of each other."
"Did you hear it, it will be covered by your brother Ji in the future."
Ji Chaoyun looked at him helplessly: "Ye Chenxing..."
Ye Chenxing is serious: "Chaoyun, you don't even know how popular you are among the freshmen. Those three games yesterday were so beautiful."
"Speaking of this..." Bei Ran raised his hand and looked at Ji Chaoyun's eyes brightly, "The Po Kong Sword can't be used in the arena, and Jiang Cheng is said to have neglected sword practice since he was a child. Big Brother Ji must have considered these things, so he did it. Do you choose a body test?"
Ji Chaoyun made a "uh" sound, noncommittal.
The people around heard them talking and unconsciously gathered towards him. Looking at each other, Ji Chaoyun was a little embarrassed, and whispered the truth: "I didn't think about it too much, but I fought with Jiang Cheng before and found that his movement skills... are relatively ordinary."
"If the top ten masters of Hongmeng Academy are like this, then his subordinates should be similar."
Ye Chenxing: "..."
Kitano: "..."
Everyone: "… "
In the dead silence, Ye Chenxing swept his eyes heavily: "I heard that Jiang Cheng went crazy for a long time after losing the ring yesterday. Don't spread this word, he knows he will be mad."
The hour has come, and the door of the preaching hall finally opened slowly. A young man dressed in black brocade and holding a bamboo slip came out from the inside, accompanied by two deacon disciples.
This is Immortal Yaoguang, who is in charge of admissions matters.
"Don't be noisy." Xianjun Yaoguang cleared his throat, but the volume was not too loud, but it passed into everyone's ears without reservation, "Line up and come in with me."
The crowd entered the mission hall.
The preaching hall has the same architectural style as the main peak with white walls and blue tiles. People walk in from the veranda on one side, pass through the courtyard, and then come to the main hall. The door of the main hall was wide open to both sides, and a stone sundial was erected in front of the hall.
The crowd took their seats in the hall.
"That's the stone sundial that tests Linggen?" Bei Ran sat behind Ji Chaoyun, frowning and said, "I don't need to test, I'm definitely at the lowest level, what can I do in the future..."
Hongmeng Academy is not like the mortal world to divide the students into grades by academic year, but only by innate roots. The spiritual root test at the time of admission determines the grades of the initial disciples. There are four levels of heaven, earth, mysterious and yellow, which correspond to heaven, earth, high-grade, and middle-grade spiritual roots respectively. As for the low-grade spiritual root... So far, there is no precedent for the successful ascension of the low-grade spiritual root, so it is not within the consideration of the academy.
Those present here either transform into spirit demons or ascend as mortals. Most of them have a good idea of their spiritual root level. Testing root bones is just a passing scene.
"I'm not much better." Ye Chenxing sat on his right hand and muttered, "What else can I do? I'm born with weak spiritual roots, so I can practice hard the day after tomorrow. As long as I don't fall into the third class, there is still a chance."
Ji Chaoyun turned his head: "Class C?"
He didn't know much about the system of Hongmeng Academy, and Ye Chenxing also knew that this young master usually did not hear things outside the window, so he explained: "Although the disciples of the academy practice together, the assessment rules are different. Heaven-level and Earth-level disciples There is a small test every three years and a big test every 12 years. For the Xuanzi and Huangzi levels, there is a small test every quarter and a big test every year.”
"The top five in the assessment will be grade A, and the bottom five will be grade C. If you get grade A in three quizzes and one big test, you can participate in the leapfrog assessment. If you pass the assessment, you can be promoted."
Beiran asked: "If the fourth time is a third grade..."
Ye Chenxing cast a "what nonsense are you asking" look at him, spread his hands and said, "Four exams, every crane tail, what else can I do other than being expelled from school?"
Beiran shrank his neck angrily.
Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes, his expression unrealistic.
The test of Linggen began soon, and the disciples whose names were read by Immortal Yaoguang walked to the stone sundial one by one to test. Heavenly root and earthly root are extremely rare in the mortal world. Most of the loose immortals enrolled this time are high-grade or middle-grade spiritual roots, so they are all classified into the mysterious and yellow characters.
Both Ye Chenxing and Bei Ran were both mid-grade spiritual roots, and were also classified as yellow.
Soon it was Ji Chaoyun's turn.
"Brother Ji is so powerful, he must be a top-grade spirit root, right?"
"I don't think it's more than that, to be able to defeat Song Zhifei and Jiangcheng, and to fight back and forth with Feng Qi, this must be the root of the earth or the root of the sky, right?"
"Hope is the root of Tianling."
"But in the past 100 years, the academy seems to have only produced Feng Qi's Heavenly Spiritual Root? The chance is too small..."
Ji Chaoyun seemed to have never heard of the crowd's comments, so he walked in front of Immortal Yaoguang and bowed to him.
He missed the announcement of the admission result yesterday, so he did not meet Immortal Yaoguang.
However, according to what Ye Chenxing said, it was this Immortal Yaoguang who explained in front of the freshmen yesterday that because of Ji Chaoyun's outstanding performance in the arena, the elders decided to make an exception to allow him to enroll after deliberation.
"You're Chaoyun." Yaoguang looked listless and lazy to the others, but when he saw Ji Chaoyun approaching, he felt a little more energetic. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him up and down for a moment, his smile could be described as loving, "Don't be nervous, just put your hand up."
"Yes." Ji Chaoyun did as he did.
… nothing happened.
There was silence in the preaching hall, and the fluctuating light muttered: "Is it broken? It wasn't ok just now... Don't worry, let's try again."
"Don't try again." Ji Chaoyun pointed to the scale on the stone sundial and reminded in a low voice, "The result has come out."
The upper grade of the stone sundial is divided into five scales, namely heaven, earth, upper grade, middle grade, and lower grade. At this time, the scale on the stone sundial only moved forward a very small amount, and it was impossible to even see it without looking carefully.
Yaoguang looked at the stone sundial, the smile on his face finally couldn't hold back, and gradually turned into consternation.
