"I said earlier that we shouldn't make an exception for him, the academy has never accepted a disciple with such poor aptitude!" In the discussion hall, a tall, thin, unsmiling middle-aged Taoist said in a disgusting voice.
Yaoguang fiddled with the bamboo slips in his hand, and whispered to persuade: "Why is it necessary for Kaiyang-Jun to do this, we don't care about how people's natural spiritual roots are, but one must be able to climb Hongmeng Mountain without being weak, and the movement skills are obvious to all, even if it is a low-grade spiritual root. …”
"He's a low-grade spiritual root? That's just a low-grade low-grade!" Kaiyang Xianjun blew his beard and stared, "I don't know why you are protecting that kid, even the mortal sect of self-cultivation will not admit this kind of thing. Waste Linggen, we Hongmeng Academy don't choose?"
Yaoguang argued with reason: "Where is the waste, he defeated two Tianzi disciples yesterday."
"That's no use of immortal methods. If he used immortal methods, he would not be able to make a move in the hands of those two!"
"You man—"
There was a lot of debate in the discussion hall, Ji Chaoyun stood in the courtyard outside the hall, his eyes were lowered and his expression was unclear.
There has been a faint sound coming from the door, which is not real, but he is still talking about him. A gust of cold wind swept through the atrium, Ji Chaoyun tightened his robe and sighed imperceptibly.
Suddenly there were footsteps behind him, and he looked back suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard walked quickly, followed by a tall slender man.
It's Feng Qi.
Feng Qi had already changed into a disciple's uniform.
The disciples of Hongmeng Academy wear light blue cloud patterns on a white background, which are divided according to the level of the disciples.
But the clothes on Feng Qi's body were completely different.
This person looks handsome, with a faint aggressiveness in the outline of his eyebrows and eyes, like the sharpness of a sharp blade when it is unsheathed, and it is sharp and pressing.
Ji Chaoyun's eyes met Feng Qi's for a short time, and he withdrew his eyes lightly.
It was not until the two of them approached that Ji Chaoyun bowed to the old man in front of him and said, "I have seen Immortal Venerable."
The current head of Hongmeng Academy, Tianshu Xianjun, paused for a while, and looked at Ji Chaoyun with a hint of complicated emotions in his eyes. But he quickly calmed down and said in a low voice, "Get up first."
After he finished speaking, he continued to lead Feng Qi towards the council hall.
Ji Chaoyun took a half step back, Feng Qi passed him by the wrong side, and the angel turned his head to look at him.
I don't know how long this person has been standing here, and the blood-colored face is almost comparable to the color of the snow in the mountains, and it can't reveal half the temperature. He stood upright in the cold wind, his back was as straight as a pine tree, but he looked extraordinarily thin.
Feng Qi couldn't help slowing down, as if he wanted to say something.
But Tianshu Xianjun had already walked outside the council hall and turned around before slowly opening the hall door: "What are you looking at, come in with me quickly."
Feng Qi: "...Yes."
The moment the hall door opened, the debate in the council hall stopped instantly.
Immortal Lord Kaiyang and Immortal Lord Yaoguang stood on both sides of the hall, and both bowed their heads and saluted to Immortal Lord Tianshu.
Tianshu Xianjun took his seat in front of the hall, and Feng Qi followed behind him step by step. Tianshu's eyes swept back and forth between the two in the hall and asked, "What are you arguing about?"
Without waiting for Yaoguang to speak, Kaiyang took the lead: "Tianshu-Jun, I am in charge of this entrance examination. Ji Chaoyun lost the last test yesterday and should have been sent back down the mountain, but this Yaoguang-Jun wanted to make an exception to take him down. Accept it. It’s better now, I detected a waste spiritual root, and threw the face of Hongmeng Academy.... Yaoguang-kun, tell me, why did you want to accept this disciple? Could it be that there is some benefit in accepting him?”
"How do you say this, I'm because of—" Yao's face turned red, and he was about to argue, but subconsciously glanced at Tianshu Xianjun in the hall.
The latter quietly lowered his eyes and drank the tea, Yaoguang didn't know what to think, and closed his mouth resentfully.
Feng Qi smiled: "What age is this, why does Kaiyang-Jun still look at people with innate spiritual roots. If spiritual roots can really be destined for a person's achievements, why does the academy have to set up a leap-forward assessment?"
Kaiyang's face condensed: "When the Immortal Venerables speak, is it your turn to interrupt?"
"Okay, stop arguing." Tianshu Xianjun glanced at Feng Qi, and said quietly, "Feng Qi was called by me. He tried with Ji Chaoyun yesterday and has some understanding of that disciple. Feng Qi, let him Tell me, how is that disciple?"
"He..." Feng Qi thought for a moment, then said lazily, "The movement is good, I don't know the cultivation base, and as for people... It's quite exciting."
Kai Yang: "… "
Fluctlight: "… "
Tianshu scolded: "Don't be a fool."
Feng Qi spread his hands innocently: "I'm telling the truth."
Tianshu looked at him incomprehensibly: "... Then according to your opinion, how should we deal with it now?"
Feng Qi: "Since he has already been admitted to school, and if he is kicked out at this time, doesn't it seem that my Hongmeng Academy is capricious and has no faith at all? What's more, no matter how bad his qualifications are, he has defeated two Tianzi disciples. …”
"That's because he didn't use immortality—"
Before Kaiyang could argue, Feng Qi took the lead to interrupt: "But when Kaiyang-Jun set the assessment rules, he didn't say that this is not allowed."
Kaiyang Xianjun's face turned green and white, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you can keep him if you want. But my Hongmeng Academy will never recruit waste and make all immortal friends laugh. My supervising hall suggested, Based on the quarterly exam three months later, if he falls into the third class, it will prove that his spiritual talent is not enough to stay in Hongmeng Academy, and he will drop out of school."
Feng Qi wanted to say something else, but Tianshu suddenly said, "Yes."
Fluctuating Light: "Tianshu Jun..."
"Since the establishment of Hongmeng Academy, it has never recruited low-grade spiritual root disciples. This rule cannot be broken." Tianshu said, "Just do as Kaiyang-Jun said."
The door of the council hall slowly opened, Ji Chaoyun raised his head, and Immortal Kaiyang and Immortal Yaoguang came out.
Ji Chaoyun saluted the two of them, Kaiyang snorted coldly, and walked past him quickly without looking at him. Instead, Immortal Yaoguang eagerly greeted him and helped Ji Chaoyun: "I'm tired of standing, it's all right."
"Xianzun, I..."
Yaoguang waved his hand indifferently: "Don't pay attention to that guy Kai Yangjun. He is in charge of the examination hall, and Jiang Cheng is his favorite disciple. He must have been unhappy when he lost in your hands yesterday. Sour."
"..." Ji Chaoyun was silent for a moment and asked, "Then I... can I stay?"
Yaoguang tapped the bamboo slip in his hand unconsciously with his fingers, and did not rush to answer, but said, "I ask you, why did you come to Hongmeng Academy?"
"I… "
Ji Chaoyun narrowed his eyes.
"Hongmeng Academy? Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Under the starry sky hundreds of years ago, the man held him in his arms, and the steady and powerful heartbeat and the slightly trembling chest when he spoke came through his back: "Hongmeng Academy is the highest academy in the Immortal Realm. You can go to various places in the Immortal Realm to seek employment, or become an immortal officer guarding one side, and more importantly…”
"Hongmeng Academy has the only passage to the Divine Realm in the Immortal Realm, the Gate to Heaven."
"However, becoming a god is thousands of times more difficult than mortals flying to the Immortal Realm. Why do you need to be so troublesome to go to the God Realm?" The man pressed close to his ear, his voice soft, "I'll take you there in person when this is over, okay? good?"
The original promise was vivid in their minds, but none of them would have thought that this seemingly simple promise had not been fulfilled for so long.
Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and replied softly: "I... don't want to live my life, I will always be just a loose immortal."
This answer is not uncommon in Hongmeng Academy, Yaoguang nodded: "I understand."
Yaoguang: "Fang Cai Tianshu Jun has decided to let you stay in Hongmeng Academy for the time being, enter the Yellow Rank first, and practice with ordinary disciples. However, Hongmeng Academy has never recruited disciples below the mid-level spiritual root, so you have a deadline. "
"the term?"
"You only have three months." Yaoguang showed three fingers and said seriously, "You must pass the quarterly test in three months. If you fall into the third grade, you will be expelled from the school early, understand?"
"I won't." Ji Chaoyun said, "Don't worry, Immortal Venerable."
"Good boy. By the way, I haven't received the disciple's clothes yet. You go to take care of these trivial matters first, and then go back to the disciple's courtyard to rest. There is no homework scheduled today. You should familiarize yourself with it first, and you can come to me if you have anything."
"I..." Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth, but suddenly thought of something, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
He finally bowed to Immortal Yaoguang, turned around and left.
There were only Feng Qi and Tianshu Xianjun left in the discussion hall.
Tianshu Xianjun glanced at Feng Qi between tasting tea. After the latter sent away the two immortals, Yaoguang and Kaiyang, he stood in the hall with nothing to do. Tianshu asked in surprise: "They are all gone, why haven't you returned to the classroom?"
Feng Qi looked more surprised than he was: "I thought my uncle had something to explain to me alone."
Feng Qi is the second prince of the Feng clan and the younger brother of the current Feng clan chief. And Tianshu Xianjun is their uncle.
Tianshu's eyes flashed strangely and said, "I told you, don't call me that in the academy."
"Yes, Immortal Venerable." Feng Qi answered happily, but still had no intention of leaving. The two waited for a while, and Feng Qi asked, "So, Xianzun really doesn't have anything to tell me?"
Tianshu: "What do you think I should say to you?"
"Nothing, the disciple has a small question to ask." Feng Qi said, "Dare to ask why Xianzun treats Ji Chaoyun so favorably?"
Tianshu-Jun paused for a moment, then asked, "Did I treat him preferentially?"
Feng Qi Youyou smiled: "I know exactly what kind of person Yaoguang Xianjun is, he will never be so concerned about a new student, unless he is instructed by someone. Your old injury has not healed, and you have already retreated. It's been a long time, but today I heard about Ji Chaoyun's Linggen, so I hurried to the conference hall. Uncle, do you still want to hide from me?"
Tianshu asked, "That's why you spoke for him just now because of this?"
Feng Qi's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Even if I don't speak for him, my uncle will keep him."
Tianshu didn't answer any more, and the council hall suddenly fell silent.
The two sat and stood, Feng Qi did not urge, raised his head slightly, and looked at Tianshu calmly. His arrogance has not diminished in the slightest, even in front of this elder, who is highly respected in the Phoenix Clan and Immortal Domain, he does not appear to be weak, on the contrary, he is somewhat evenly matched.
I don't know how long it took, Tianshu finally said slowly: "Ji Chaoyun... You really don't know this person?"
Feng Qi was startled. When he first met yesterday, Ji Chaoyun asked him the same thing.
Feng Qi has stayed in the Feng Clan since he was born, and has not taken a single step. Since he entered Hongmeng Academy more than 50 years ago, although he has traveled to the world during this period, he has never made friends with any Dragon Clan.
Moreover, he never had any incomplete memories in his mind.
Feng Qi frowned suspiciously: "Should I know him?"
"No, you don't know him... Of course you don't know him." Tianshu sat on the throne and looked at Feng Qi in the hall, but it was as if he saw something deeper and farther.
Feng Qi wanted to ask again, but Tian Shu suddenly said softly: "This person has a relationship with the Feng Clan. Whenever the children of the Feng Clan meet him, they should treat him with courtesy and help them with all their hearts."
Feng Qi was startled.
The Phoenix family was of noble birth and arrogant by nature, and there were not a few people with lofty status in the worlds of immortals and gods. He has never heard of anyone who can afford to let all the clansmen "treat each other with courtesy and help with all their heart".
What's more, it's still a chain.
Feng Qi asked, "Who ordered this order, my brother?"
Tianshu shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient for me to answer the rest, so don't ask any more questions. Since Ji Chaoyun is already in Hongmeng Academy, you should take care of him and don't treat him badly, understand?"
"This..." Feng Qi was silent for a moment, not daring to speak out about the fact that the little demon dragon had already slept in the bamboo forest all night.
Tianshu began to rush people: "Okay, let's go. Tianxuan-Jun came to me again two days ago to complain, saying that you can't go to eight out of ten morning classes, and you can't wake up when you arrive at the classroom two times. I know your talent and cultivation base is high, but you still stay in Hongmeng Academy after all.
"Got it, uncle."
Feng Qi was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "I have another question."
"You said."
"That Ji Chaoyun..." There was a rare hint of hesitation in his eyes, and he carefully asked for proof, "Is he really my brother's old lover?"
"..." Tianshu's expression was blank for a moment, and when he saw Feng Qi's laughing appearance, he reacted angrily, "Nonsense, there is no positive type, go back to class!"
Feng Qi snorted and got out.
