Ji Chaoyun took Feng Qi and walked towards the back mountain.
Seeing that he had completely left the crowd, Feng Qi said with a light smile, "Are you going to elope with me?"
Ji Chaoyun's footsteps stopped suddenly.
He didn't look back, Feng Qi only felt that the hand holding his wrist was cold to the bone, and the fingertips were so pale that there was almost no blood.
Feng Qi sighed and shook his head, broke the opponent's hand apart, and put it into his palm: "I don't mean to force you, if you don't accept it, it's fine as if nothing happened, so why bother yourself?"
"As if nothing happened?" Ji Chaoyun pulled out his hand and said in a low voice, "Can you do it?"
Feng Qi smiled bitterly: "Didn't I do this all the time?"
Ji Chaoyun's fingertips trembled, as if he had been stabbed into his heart by a sharp knife.
Feng Qi stared at the other person's back and asked softly, "What do you want to say to me?"
"..." Ji Chaoyun pursed his lips tightly, unable to say a word.
Feng Qi didn't rush, and quietly waited for his answer.
"This matter... it's my fault." After a long time, Ji Chaoyun said in a hoarse voice, "We are just doing a show today, and tomorrow I will say goodbye to Grandpa Shu. You don't have to help me with matters of merit. After you leave the Banyan Tree Clan, you will Go back to the academy."
Feng Qi narrowed his eyes: "You chase me away?"
Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and his voice trembled softly: "After returning to the academy, I will ask the Inspector's Hall to change the disciple's courtyard, and I will not appear in front of you again in the future."
Feng Qi's expression condensed: "Do you think this is enough?"
"… "
"Answer me Ji Chaoyun, do you think that if we hide from me, we can pretend that nothing happened?"
Ji Chaoyun did not answer.
Feng Qi broke his shoulders and looked down at the drooping, red eyes of the other party: "If you really think so, why don't you dare to look at me? Why are you so sad?"
"It's too late, Chaoyun."
"In the few months we've known each other, you've had countless opportunities to push me away, but you haven't. Do you think that as long as you avoid me, I'll be able to forget you?" Feng Qi laughed lightly, "Ji Chaoyun, it's been three hundred years, you Have you forgotten Feng Xiao?"
Ji Chaoyun's body trembled heavily.
"The year you met Feng Xiao, you were younger than I am now." Feng Qi said, "You were able to be so unrelenting back then, why do you think I can't? You can wait three hundred years, why do you think I can't wait."
He softened his voice and said softly: "How strange, from the first time I saw you, it was as if someone had pushed me. It told me to go to your side, accompany you, and watch You, protect you. Sometimes I even feel that I stayed in the academy for so many years just to wait for that day."
Ji Chaoyun's shoulders trembled slightly, his eyes were sore, and his eyes were blurred.
"I know you can't answer me now, it's okay, I can wait." Feng Qi said warmly, "Two hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years... That guy has known you for three months and made you wait for three hundred years. , I wait, what does it matter to you?"
"But I... I..." Ji Chaoyun's voice was trembling, "there will be no results, I simply..."
"If you want to say that you don't have any feelings for me at all, I won't believe it." Feng Qi sighed and gently rubbed Ji Chaoyun's head, "I thought about how to break with me for two days, you The final performance is like this? I can't even pretend, I have never seen a dragon more stupid than you."
"… "
"You take all the responsibility on yourself, feel sorry for him, and sorry for me, but where is your fault? It's my fault, it's me who has been pestering you." Feng Qi's hand slowly moved down, holding Ji Chaoyun Cold hands, "I don't know what he will think, but with me, my little dragon is not wrong at all. Don't be uncomfortable, if you are really unhappy... This is for you."
Feng Qi took off the bracelet and tied it to Ji Chaoyun's wrist: "Just beat me with a whip to relieve my anger. I beat you before, and you will call back now, okay?"
Ji Chaoyun couldn't hold it anymore, tears welling up in his eyes.
How can there be such a gentle person in this world.
He should have been the one who felt wronged, but instead came to comfort him, fearing that he would be uncomfortable.
But the more Feng Qi treated him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
The past 300 years ago was true, the waiting for the middle 300 years was true, and the few months after coming to the academy was true. He clearly had someone else in his heart, but he was still uncontrollably attracted to this person.
He hadn't noticed this, until that night two days ago, the kiss that was about to fall.
That Ye Fengqi's attitude revealed in the light of the sky what he had always been reluctant to think about and dared not to think about.
He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
How could he be like this...
Ji Chaoyun buried his head deeply, trembling all over his body, biting his lower lip and letting out a few choked sobs.
"Why... why are you crying so hard." Feng Qi was frightened by his tears, and he was a little bit in a hurry. He wanted to hug him but didn't dare, so he tentatively held his shoulders, "Don't be like this, don't be like this... It's not a good thing to say. Yeah, it's not your fault, don't cry."
His Royal Highness Feng Er has never experienced such a situation, and he can't even coax people, so he comforted a bunch of words in a mess, making people cry more and more fiercely.
Ji Chaoyun has never had such an extreme vent in his life, not when he separated from Feng Xiao, not when he was expelled from the Dragon Clan, and not when he died accidentally in his previous life. He was shaking with all his strength, and soon he didn't even have the strength to stand, and slowly knelt on the ground.
He lowered his head, tears rolling down the grass in large drops.
Feng Qi had never seen Ji Chaoyun look like this, but he felt that it was more painful than whipping him with a whip. He didn't care if he would irritate this person again, he squatted down and carefully hugged him tightly, and pressed Ji Chaoyun's back head to make him lean on his shoulder: "I understand, you don't want to beat me, you just want me life."
Feng Qi sighed, only to feel that he was really eaten by this person, closed his eyes and said to himself, "Cry, don't be sad anymore when you cry."
Unfortunately, Ji Chaoyun was not able to cry happily in the end. After a while, Feng Qi heard footsteps hurriedly approaching from a distance.
They escaped from the wedding ceremony, and the clansmen will naturally chase after them. Feng Qi didn't want people to see Ji Chaoyun's current appearance, and Ji Chaoyun probably didn't want others to see him in such a troubled state.
After thinking for a moment, he put his arms around Ji Chaoyun's waist and rose into the air.
The two landed firmly on the branch.
Ji Chaoyun also felt that someone was approaching, but he cried so hard earlier that he couldn't stop it for a while, so he could only grab Feng Qi's sleeves, buried his head deeply, and tried his best to restrain his choking.
After a while, several clansmen appeared in the field of vision.
Those few people looked eager, but they didn't look like they were looking for someone. They walked forward quickly and quickly disappeared between the jungles.
Feng Qi intuitively felt something strange, and frowned slightly.
"That direction..." Ji Chaoyun said softly, revealing red eyes and a small face from Feng Qi's shirt.
Feng Qi didn't care that her wedding dress had been soaked with tears, she wiped the tears from the other person's face with her sleeve: "What's wrong?"
Ji Chaoyun ducked back and rubbed his eyes: "I remember, leaving the Banyan Tree Clan through the exit over there is that barren mountain."
The barren mountain that was originally shrouded in thick fog, but now the fog has dissipated, is extremely dangerous.
His own little dragon hasn't been coaxed yet, and Feng Qi really doesn't want to take care of other things at this time. But the Banyan Tree Clan is kind to Ji Chaoyun, if something really happened, I'm afraid he would also not feel good in his heart. Feng Qi lowered his head and asked, "Go back and ask?"
Ji Chaoyun nodded: "Well."
"But you are like this..."
Ji Chaoyun had never cried like this before, and he cried hard when he cried. At this moment, it was difficult to stop, but there were still drops of water hanging on the eyelashes, and the eyes were red and moist, like rabbits, looking extremely pitiful.
Feng Qi looked away impatiently, and calmed down: "Can I help you cover it with magic?"
Only then did Ji Chaoyun realize what he was saying, and turned his head to avoid: "I'll do it myself."
After a while, the two returned to the banyan tree.
The arrangement of the wedding ceremony has not been removed, and the old patriarch did not let the clansmen chase them, so everyone could only continue to wait in place.
Seeing the two come back, the old patriarch smiled at them: "Everything is settled?"
"Well." Ji Chaoyun replied in a low voice.
The old patriarch pointed to the tree again: "Do you want to continue?"
Ji Chaoyun was startled: "Patriarch, you..."
"What's wrong?"
"...It's okay." Ji Chaoyun shook his head, "We just saw a few clansmen heading towards the barren mountains. What are they doing?"
The old patriarch looked at him for a moment, with confusion in his eyes: "Barren mountain? What barren mountain? Where is the barren mountain?"
"… "
"You two are back." Just at this moment, Ji Xun walked towards them.
Feng Qi asked, "Young patriarch, just now, Chaoyun and I saw several clansmen heading towards the barren mountains, do you know?"
"It's my order." Ji Xun explained, "I just received news that a business traveler from a long way seems to have passed through the arrangement of the Banyan Tree people in Taohualing by accident and took the barren hills. I am worried that they will encounter When it is in danger, I will send a few clansmen to escort it."
Ji Chaoyun: "The Ke clansmen have obstacles in every place they must pass through in Taohualing. How could they pass smoothly?"
"The reason is not known. When we found out, they were about to enter the barren mountains." Ji Xun said, "The Banyan Tree family is a monster clan after all, and they dare not show their faces in front of mortals. Explain the reason here. What, do you think there is a problem?"
Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi looked at each other and said, "We don't have any solid evidence. It's just... Brother Ji, something unknown has attacked you in the barren mountains. It may be dangerous for the clan to go there. Let's take a look."
"But..." Ji Xun looked at them hesitantly, then at the old patriarch.
The old patriarch sat on the rattan chair and said with a smile, "Go if you want, it doesn't matter."
Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi nodded, and immediately returned to the house to change their clothes.
Ji Xun looked at the backs of the two and wondered, "Grandpa, so this wedding ceremony, can we still do it?"
The old patriarch said: "The three worships have not yet been completed, so keep it, it will be used in the future."
"Then why did Grandpa let them go?"
"You are a person who only knows the affairs of the clan all day, so it's no wonder that you can't find a daughter-in-law." The old patriarch hated that iron was not steel, and slapped Ji Xun's buttocks with the end of the bamboo stick, stood up on the bamboo stick, and moved towards the distance. Walking around, "Young people, it's good to be in pairs, made in heaven..."
Leaving the Banyan Tree Clan in the direction of the back mountain, Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi quickly found the barren mountain.
The reason why it is said to be a barren mountain is because no grass grows here. Strange rocks can be seen everywhere in the mountains, and there are only a few dry weeds between the stone cracks, but there is no vitality. Few people come to this mountain, the road is rough and difficult to walk, and the Taohua Ridge in front of it seems to be two worlds.
"It's hard to imagine that behind such a lush Peach Blossom Ridge, there is such a barren mountain." Feng Qi said, "It doesn't seem reasonable."
Ji Chaoyun nodded: "When I first came to the Banyan Tree Clan, I also felt that this mountain was quite strange. It's just that at that time... I couldn't protect myself, and the barren mountains were covered with thick fog, so I never went to explore."
Feng Qi made a "uh" and turned to look at him.
Ji Chaoyun's expression was calm, and he couldn't see that he had cried like that before. This person is like this, his mind is hidden more than anyone else, if it is not extreme, he will not reveal the slightest.
Feng Qi was distressed and helpless, just wondering if he should coax him a few more words, the latter suddenly said, "Look there!"
Under the stone wall not far in front of the two, a young man fell.
It was a tree demon.
The two stepped forward quickly, only to see that the young man was very angry, and his clothes had been infected with blood.
"It didn't hurt the vital point, there is still help." Feng Qi grabbed the person before Ji Chaoyun and quickly tapped the other party's spiritual meridians a few times, slowly pouring in spiritual power.
"Cough, cough..." The young man coughed out a mouthful of blood, and finally regained some consciousness, "Xian, Xianchang, why are you here..."
Ji Chaoyun asked, "What happened?"
"We followed the caravan into the barren mountain, and we were attacked before we went far."
"What about the rest?"
"Xu is in the mountains, cough... That thing is extremely powerful. I, I fainted before I could see what it was."
The young man's injuries were too serious, and the two of them couldn't ask anything else, so they pinched a magic formula and sent the person back to the clan.
After doing this, Feng Qi said: "It seems that there is indeed a problem with this mountain."
"Not only this mountain, but also the business traveler." Ji Chaoyun was far away in the depths of the barren mountain, his eyebrows lowered slightly, "Business travelers usually have carriages and horses accompanying their goods, so they will choose a better official road. This barren mountain is steep and unpredictable, Where did the business travel come from, and choose this road?"
"Perhaps they came from other places and didn't know the dangers of this place?"
Ji Chaoyun shook his head: "Because it's from another place, it's even more important to find out."
Ji Chaoyun said: "Mortals are no better than fairies. They don't have magic protection, they won't shrink into an inch, and they need to be more cautious when traveling long distances. Even if they don't think about their own lives, they must also consider the safety of the accompanying goods. ."
Feng Qi asked, "That's why you just thought that there was something wrong with that business team?"
"It's just a guess." Ji Chaoyun said, "Let's continue inside—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly noticed that something was attacking behind the two of them.
Ji Chaoyun turned around to look, and happened to see a black smoke from far to near. He was about to fight back, but Feng Qi was faster than him.
Feng Qi's palm hit the center of the black smoke without bias, only to hear a sharp roar, and the black smoke flew backwards and hit the rough stone wall. The black smoke dissipated, revealing the true shape inside.
That thing was very similar in appearance to a cheetah, with a dark body, double horns on the forehead, slender canine teeth and bright red eyes.
In those bright red eyes, there is a rolling devilish breath.
monster.
The monster was hit by Feng Qi's palm, and the meridians were completely shattered. The body quickly turned into black smoke and was blown away by the wind. In just this moment, a few black smoke came from out of nowhere, fell around the two, and surrounded them.
Feng Qi made a "tsk" and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ji Chaoyun.
Ji Chaoyun took out the matching sword and said lightly: "You said earlier, how much merit can you get from killing monsters?"
Feng Qi raised his eyebrows and understood what he meant. He took a half step back and said, "If you kill one, it should be worth your hard work all day."
Ji Chaoyun's eyes fell on the more than ten monsters that were slowly gathering up, and his expression was solemn: "These are all mine, and they are not allowed to be robbed."
"Well, I don't rob, you take your time..."
Before Feng Qi could finish his words, Ji Chaoyun charged out with his sword.
The sharp sword shadow reflected on the jagged stone wall, Feng Qi looked at the plain white figure from a distance, and didn't intend to stop it, let alone help.
Xiaolong was still feeling uncomfortable and needed a channel to vent.
It's too time for these monsters to come.
Feng Qi retreated to the stone wall and waited. Dozens of monsters could not see Ji Chaoyun at this moment, but they were all killed in a single stick of incense. Ji Chaoyun kicked away the last breathless monster with one kick, and with a sharp sword, he threw out a string of blood beads.
Feng Qi slightly curved the corners of his mouth and was about to step forward when his expression suddenly froze.
Something is approaching.
Ji Chaoyun also felt the strangeness. He tilted his head to look in a certain direction, and there was a little vibration on the ground covered with rocks, as if something was coming towards them.
After a while, a piebald white tiger with a whole body of snow-white and the height of a person walked around the stone wall and walked in front of the two of them.
Ji Chaoyun's eyes sank, and he was about to raise his sword, but was stopped by Feng Qi: "Wait."
"It's not the enemy."
Feng Qi walked to Ji Chaoyun's side and stared into Bai Hu's eyes. The white tiger looked at him with a calm expression, without the slightest hostility.
Feng Qi seemed to feel something, and asked, "You said you wanted to take us somewhere?"
The white tiger nodded at him, slumped down sideways, and flicked its slender tail, signaling the two to sit on its back.
Ji Chaoyun asked, "Feng Qi, what is it..."
"I don't know." Feng Qi said, "But I can feel that it is not hostile."
He took the lead in turning over the white tiger and reaching out to Ji Chaoyun: "Trust me, nothing will happen."
Ji Chaoyun looked at the hand in front of him silently for a while, then nodded: "Okay."
The two mounted the white tiger, and the white tiger raised its head and shouted, running towards the direction from which it came.
The desolate mountain road moved back quickly, Ji Chaoyun stared blankly at the white tiger under him, vaguely thinking of something.
While running, the white tiger gave birth to snow-white wings on its back, and it soared into the sky, leaping into the sky.
The white tiger hovered over the barren mountains, the wind whistling in his ears. Ji Chaoyun put his back against Feng Qi's chest, the latter wrapped his arms around him tightly and wrapped him in his arms.
"Have you ever seen a tiger with wings? I have one, but unfortunately I lost it in Immortal Realm."
Once upon a time, Feng Xiao also held him like this, and whispered in his ear: "When the war is over, I will call it back and take you for a ride, okay?"
This is... This is Feng Xiao's spirit tiger
Ji Chaoyun's thoughts were confused for a while, and Feng Qi suddenly said in his ear: "Chaoyun, look below."
The scene under the two of them changed quickly. The dried-up rivers regenerate water, and the vegetation bursts out of the ground, and soon grows lush.
It was still the barren mountain, but after breaking the external illusion, Ji Chaoyun felt the spiritual power of deja vu almost at that moment.
Here, Feng Xiao's divine power remains.
This is... Mount Sumeru
The white tiger took the two back to their original place, and the two jumped off the white tiger, and the surrounding scene was completely different.
The dense trees hide the sky and the sun, the kingfishers on the branches chirping, the occasional soft white rabbits scurried across the grass under the feet, and the chirping of insects and birds by the ears is endless, and the whole place is full of vitality.
Bai Hu circled around Feng Qi twice, and seemed extremely excited, rubbing his head into his arms. Feng Qi was so upset by it that he rubbed its head resignedly: "Okay, okay..."
Ji Chaoyun stared blankly at all of this, a thought that he had never had before, nor dared to think about, broke out in his heart.
