After a while, Feng Qi got up and went to the back of the house to take a bath.

Ji Chaoyun was stuck in the soft bed, so tired that he didn't want to move a finger.

He half-closed his eyes, and he could feel Feng Qi's aura that was not far or near without any need to sense it. It was peaceful and powerful, which made his mind feel calmer than ever before.

After about an incense stick, Feng Qi came back.

He changed into a bathrobe, wrapped in the moist smell of green bamboo and spring water, and embraced Ji Chaoyun from behind.

Feng Qi glanced at the scriptures that Ji Chaoyun had thrown aside, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to review your homework, why can't you afford it?"

"I don't want to move." Ji Chaoyun shrank into Feng Qi's arms, feeling a little down for no reason.

Feng Qi teased and said, "You can't bear me?"

"..." Ji Chaoyun was silent for a long time, then replied softly, "Well."

I don't want him to go.

I don't want him to be closed for so long.

Feng Qi didn't expect him to answer, but when he heard him say that, he was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly softened beyond words.

"Chaoyun..."

"You don't have to worry about me, I am..." Ji Chaoyun hooked Feng Qi's clothes with his fingers, his voice was very soft, "Tianshu Immortal Venerable is right, you have to go to retreat, your cultivation base has not stabilized, the longer you delay more unsafe.”

Feng Qi didn't know the real condition of his body, but Ji Chaoyun knew.

That divine power is in his body, and it is conceivable to imagine the danger of losing control, and no one dares to take this risk.

He understands.

But just…

I just don't want him to go.

Ji Chaoyun turned over and buried his head in Feng Qi's arms angrily, unable to explain what he was sulking about.

Feng Qi stroked Ji Chaoyun's hair soothingly for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Xiaolong has been raised by him to become arrogant recently, and he has become petty.

"Don't worry, I won't go for too long." Feng Qi reassured, "I'm in the Lingxu Cave in the back mountain, and I can't escape. If you don't worry, you can come and see me at any time."

Ji Chaoyun whispered: "I'm not worried..."

"I see."

Those three hundred years left too many bad memories for Ji Chaoyun. He became afraid of parting, became worried about gains and losses, and wished he could guard each other all the time.

Now is the last time Feng Qi should leave.

"Sorry, I don't want to leave now." Feng Qi said, "But I can't let myself stay by your side. If I can't control it like I did before, I really bully you..."

"I'm not worried about this either." Ji Chaoyun interrupted, "I'm not angry with what happened that day. Whatever you do to me, I will…"

"Shh, you still want me to rest assured, don't say these words now." Feng Qi pressed his fingertips to the other's lips, his voice was a little helpless, "Let me go, Xiaolong, you don't know how much willpower I used. restrain yourself."

"..."

Ji Chaoyun shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Feng Qi smiled and hugged Ji Chaoyun tightly, the latter suddenly said, "Then read the Taoist scriptures to me."

"… Ok?"

Ji Chaoyun passed over Feng Qi, fetched the scriptures that had been thrown by the bed, turned over the page he was reciting, and handed it to Feng Qi: "The Taoist scriptures can clear the mind and concentrate, and are beneficial to practice."

Feng Qi hadn't read the Daojing scriptures other than the day before the Daojing examination, he was silent for a moment, his line of sight touched Ji Chaoyun's bright eyes, and he couldn't say anything to refuse.

He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll read it to you."

The afternoon sun made everything comfortable and lazy, and for a while in the house, only Feng Qi's low reading sound and the soft sound of his fingertips flipping the pages could be heard.

The chirping of insects and birds outside the house is one after another, interweaving into a quiet and peaceful picture.

The next day, Feng Qi began to retreat, and Ji Chaoyun officially resumed classes.

Ji Chaoyun has been practicing in the lower world for two months, and a lot of things have happened, and the disciples of the academy have also heard about it. The academy had already spread the story of the demons all over the place, but the Immortal Venerable of the academy did not allow the disciples to discuss this matter.

Now that Ji Chaoyun finally came back, everyone couldn't hold back, and just after the Daojing class, they surrounded people.

"I heard that you broke into the holy land left by the ancient gods and obtained many secrets and treasures?"

"You really met the demon army and killed the demon protector?"

"Why did His Highness Feng Er suddenly retreat? Did he get injured while fighting against the Demon Race? The Demon Race is really so powerful that even Feng Qi can't get out of it?"

Everyone's questions one after another surrounded Ji Chaoyun's table.

Ji Chaoyun glanced at everyone helplessly, and before he could say anything, Ye Chenxing took the lead and started to bombard people: "Go, go, go to class. Immortal Venerable Tianshu said that he should not discuss this matter, what is there to ask. "

Bei Ran also said: "That's right, today's lunch class Kaiyang Immortal Venerable will be present in person to take the test, but you can't be late!"

The two cleared the siege in a timely manner and sent away most of the disciples in the classroom. Ji Chaoyun then stood up: "Thank you."

"It's all right, just a trivial matter." Ye Chenxing took Ji Chaoyun's shoulder familiarly and said with a smile, "However, I'm also curious about what happened to you in the past two months."

Ji Chaoyun said: "There is no rumor that it is so mysterious, I will tell you when I have time."

"Okay, I'll invite you to drink when you take a break, and I'll catch the wind for you."

The three walked out of the classroom together, Ye Chenxing suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice, "By the way, you have to be careful of yourself these few days."

"Who?"

"Jun Ruzhuo."

Ji Chaoyun was startled, and then heard Ye Chenxing say again: "He insists that Feng Qi killed his cousin, and he has to face Feng Qi face to face. Now Feng Qi is in seclusion, but you and him are in the lower realm together, Jun Ruzhuo will find him. If you don’t see Feng Qi, I guess it will inevitably come to trouble you.”

"He..." Ji Chaoyun's eyelashes moved slightly, "Didn't he return to Lingyuan Sea?"

Ye Chenxing: "I heard that Lingyuanhai didn't let him go back, but we don't know the details."

"A few days ago, I saw him making a big fuss at Immortal Venerable Tianshu, and he wanted to ask the Feng family for an explanation." Bei Ran said, "I heard that Jun Ruzhuo was taken care of by the third prince of the Dragon King since he was a child, and the relationship is like a close relationship. As a brother, it's no wonder he is like this."

"Anyway, there's no harm in avoiding him." Ye Chenxing sighed, "We can't afford to offend a clan with a superior status in the Immortal Realm."

Ji Chaoyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Does he know I'm back?"

Ye Chenxing: "Not many people knew that you came back yesterday, but classes will resume today, and the news will probably spread soon."

Ji Chaoyun said quietly: "Then he will come to me soon, and he can't escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them froze.

Not far in front of the pine forest path, a slender figure stood there, with a pale and haggard expression.

Jun Ruzhuo.

Ye Chenxing and Bei Ran subconsciously stood in front of Ji Chaoyun, but were held back by Ji Chaoyun: "It's okay, you guys go to class first, and I'll have a chat with him."

Although the two were a little worried, they had to leave according to their words.

At this time, the morning class was just over, and there were still disciples passing by in the pine forest path from time to time. Jun Ruzhuo glanced at Ji Chaoyun, turned his head and walked towards the depths of the path. Ji Chaoyun sighed softly and followed.

Jun Ruzhuo went all the way to the depths of the pine forest path.

Seeing that there will be no more outsiders here, Ji Chaoyun said, "A Zhuo, speak up if you have something to say, don't go inside."

Jun Ruzhuo's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned his head: "I thought it was you who wanted to speak directly to me."

Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and said softly, "I understand how you feel, and I'm sorry that things turned out like this."

"You're sorry?" Jun Ruzhuo took a few steps back to Ji Chaoyun and grabbed his collar, "Okay, then tell me, did Feng Qi do it?"

Ji Chaoyun held the back of his hand: "Calm down."

"How do you want me to calm down?" Jun Ruzhuo's eyes were red, and he sneered, "You don't know yet, Lingyuanhai has already concluded that the third cousin died at the hands of the demons. The Phoenixes helped fill the gap. Okay, the demonic seal of the temple is cracked, and Lingyuanhai also specially sent someone to come to the door to thank you. Heh... It's extremely absurd!"

"You just found me on your front foot to find the location of the Lingyuan Sea Temple. After a few days, the third cousin died in the temple. It just so happened that Feng Qi was there and you weren't there. Brother, I'm not a fool."

Jun Ruzhuo took a deep breath and tried his best to keep his voice steady: "I didn't tell anyone who you are, I just want to ask, who killed the third cousin. Is it you or Feng Qi?"

Ji Chaoyun looked into his eyes and said calmly, "If I said it was me, what would you do?"

Jun Ruzhuo shook his head: "No, it can't be you. With your current cultivation level, you simply—"

Ji Chaoyun said: "Jun Jue's talent is not very high, and his movement skills are far less than mine, not to mention that I have Feng Qi to assist me, he is not an opponent."

"But you have no reason to do it, why would you..."

"Three hundred years ago, he had the intention to kill me, and he was determined to kill me. If I re-enter the Immortal Realm, naturally I should have revenge."

Jun Ruzhuo lowered his head, his fingertips trembling so much that he could barely grasp Ji Chaoyun's clothes: "It can't be like this, it can't be like this... Jun Yan, tell me the truth!"

"Then what do you think the truth is?"

Jun Ruzhuo froze.

Ji Chaoyun opened Jun Ruzhuo's hand little by little, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "I was not there when Jun Jue died, Feng Qi has been confirmed to have nothing to do with this matter, and the third prince of the Dragon King died in the entanglement with the demons. In the fight, this is the truth.”

"A Zhuo, no matter what guesses you have in your heart, it's meaningless. You can't get any so-called truth from me."

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears at the end of the boy's eyes, and said warmly, "The deceased has passed away, and the living have to live well, don't be entangled any more."

"But, but..." Jun Ruzhuo lowered his head, "but what should Lingyuanhai do?"

Lingyuan Sea Dragon King has been seriously injured for many years, the eldest son's cultivation base was abolished, the second son died in the war, and the only youngest son died unexpectedly.

Jun Ruzhuo grabbed Ji Chaoyun's hand, his voice trembling and helpless: "Brother, teach me, what should Lingyuanhai do now?"

"A Zhuo, I can't help you." Ji Chaoyun said, "I'm no longer from the Lingyuan Sea Dragon Clan. So far, it's you, not me, who can save Lingyuan Sea."

"I… ?"

Ji Chaoyun lifted him up, his voice firm and gentle: "The dragon clan rules the world, and the Lingyuan Sea will never be destroyed by anyone's departure. It is not as fragile as you think."

As the lunch time is approaching, Ji Chaoyun bids farewell to Jun Ruzhuo and leaves.

Jun Ruzhuo wiped his face, straightened his clothes, and was about to go back when his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He lowered his head and took out a conch hanging around his neck from the placket.

The milky white conch is now glowing with a faint blue light, which is the unique communication technique of Lingyuan Sea.

And when there is only one person sending a message, the light of spiritual power will show such a color.

Lingyuan Sea Dragon King.
