In the days after that, Ji Chaoyun and Feng Qi did not meet again.
Before the Heavenly Ranking Competition, the disciples of the academy had to complete another quarterly exam. However, Ji Chaoyun had already passed this assessment in advance with experience and merit, and obtained the first grade. As long as he did not fall behind in his homework, he did not need to go to the classroom all the time.
Therefore, Ji Chaoyun simply did not return to the disciple's courtyard during this period of time. He meditated and practiced in Dengyun Tower, and concentrated on preparing for the Heavenly Ranking Competition.
He doesn't need exams, but other disciples don't.
Without Ji Chaoyun's supervision, Ye Chenxing visibly returned to the edge of the affiliation. Under his various pleas, Ji Chaoyun finally agreed to help him with his homework during the evening class.
At night, the Dengyun Tower is brightly lit, and the warm pavilion is filled with a familiar warm fragrance. Ji Chaoyun closed a scripture he had just finished reading, and knocked it on the head of the man beside him.
"Ow!" Ye Chenxing, who was dozing off, shuddered and sat upright in an instant, "I'm not being lazy, I'm doing my back!"
Bei Ran raised his head from the writing and said with a smile, "I testify that Brother Ye only slept with a stick of incense, and it didn't take long."
"..." Ye Chenxing gritted his teeth, "Xiao Beiran—"
Ji Chaoyun shook his head and stood up: "I want to say, the bell for class has passed, you should go back."
Both of them were startled, Ye Chenxing wondered, "Why didn't I hear anything."
"There is an enchantment protection outside the Dengyun Tower, which isolates all noises, so naturally you can't hear it." Bei Ran explained to him, and said, "It seems that Brother Ji has improved a lot in his cultivation recently."
Ji Chaoyun was bending over to clean up the paper and inkstone books on the table. After listening to his question, he raised his eyes and said, "Yeah."
"Can you not be diligent?" Ye Chenxing smiled gossip, "We have been working hard in Chaoyun cultivation, and now there is a back door opened by someone. Chaoyun, you have to do your best, every Tianbang Dabi Academy will be set up privately. Bet, I'm ready to put all my wealth on you, so that you can break into the last round."
Ji Chaoyun paused and said, "The big competition in the sky is a knockout system. According to the number of students participating in each round of lottery, the more difficult it is to get to the back. Are you not afraid of losing all your wealth?"
"Don't be afraid, I've already made up my mind." Ye Chenxing leaned back on the seat and said rascally, "If I lose, I'll go to the door of Wenqufeng and cry bitterly, and ask your Phoenix to pay me the money."
Ji Chaoyun: "..."
Ji Chaoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't talk to him, and walked to the bookshelf beside the desk with the sorted books in his arms.
Before Feng Qi retreated, he found all the scriptures in Dengyun Tower that were beneficial to cultivation and suitable for Ji Chaoyun, and stuffed a cabinet full of them. That man didn't like to read scriptures and discuss Taoism, but he was quite accomplished when it came to martial arts. Ji Chaoyun practiced according to these scriptures these days and made great progress.
"Brother Ji, let me help you."
Bei Ran took the initiative to help Ji Chaoyun sort it out, and the two put the books back in different categories. Ji Chaoyun asked again, "How did you look at the book you borrowed last time?"
Beiran has the worst qualifications among them, and Ji Chaoyun can help him if he can, and has borrowed several books from Dengyun Tower to him.
"I understand it slowly, I haven't finished it yet." Bei Ran touched his nose embarrassedly, "I will read it for a few more days, and I will return it when I finish it."
"It's okay, I'm not urging you." Ji Chaoyun said, "That scripture is obscure and difficult to understand. If you really can't understand it, I remember that there is a better one here..."
Ji Chaoyun flicked Lin Lie's books on the shelf with his fingertips, and quickly found the book he was looking for.
Ji Chaoyun pulled the book out with all his strength, but he didn't think that there seemed to be a book in the scroll, and it also slipped down.
"Hey, what is this..."
Bei Ran lowered his head and picked up the book, but before he could see it clearly, Ji Chaoyun quickly pulled it out.
Ji Chaoyun's ears, which were hidden behind his temples, quickly turned red, but fortunately the person in front of him didn't pay attention. He explained vaguely: "It's nothing, just read this book."
Saying that, he stuffed the book that he had taken out in his hand into Bei Ran's hand, and the book was hurriedly put into his arms.
Ye Chenxing had already packed up, and when he came over, he happened to see his action, and squinted at him: "What, mysterious, love words written by His Royal Highness Feng Er?"
"..." Ji Chaoyun's ears were all red, and his face still maintained a straight face, "No, don't talk nonsense."
Ye Chenxing was suspicious and shook his head: "Xiao Beiran, you said, I think we were the first to come, why did the flower peacock get on first? The water splashed by the abducted brother can't be found. …”
Ye Chenxing pulled Beiran out of the warm pavilion, Ji Chaoyun closed the door of the warm pavilion, and was relieved.
He took out the book in his arms, and by the lights in the house, only the vague handwriting on the old cover could be seen.
Fortunately, the cover was so worn out that Beiran and the others didn't see what kind of book it was.
- "Spiritual Secret Law"
Since the last time Ji Chaoyun used this book to smash His Highness Feng Er, he hadn't seen this thing again. He thought that he had already been lost by that person, but he didn't expect to be caught in the pile of practice books for him, and he was almost seen by others.
Ji Chaoyun gritted his lower teeth lightly, and said viciously, "You must have done it on purpose..."
However, Ji Chaoyun didn't put the book back.
"This method... can really improve one's cultivation?" Ji Chaoyun guiltily glanced at the closed door, confirming that there was no one else in Dengyun Tower but him, so he sat down at the desk and opened a page.
Half an hour later, the curfew had arrived, and a figure flashed past Dengyun Tower.
Ji Chaoyun risked being caught by the night patrol disciples and returned to Wenqu Peak, which he hadn't returned to for a few days, and soaked in the hot spring water all night with his face flushed.
In the blink of an eye, another five or six days passed, and the season test was approaching, but Feng Qi still did not leave the customs.
On this day, Ji Chaoyun couldn't calm down since he woke up in the morning.
He meditated for a long time to no avail, so he had to give up and left Dengyun Tower to walk around.
At this time, it was morning class time, and there were not many people on the main peak of Hongmeng Academy, only the faint sound of reading could be heard. Ji Chaoyun wandered boredly on the main peak, and unknowingly walked to the back mountain.
The back mountain is quieter than the front mountain. Except for the Yanjianping on the halfway up the mountain, which is used for the afternoon classes of Xuan and Huangzi disciples, few people go to other places.
Walking further along the large pine forest, for him, it is a forbidden place.
The back mountain of Hongmeng Academy is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy. The Immortal Venerable of the Academy has specially carved out several caves in this place for high-level disciples to retreat and practice. Only Tianzi-level disciples can use it.
The Lingxu Cave where Feng Qi retreated is also here.
Outside the Lingxu Cave, there are disciples sent by Tianshu Xianjun to guard it all day, and there is a protective barrier, which can completely isolate the inside and outside.
Ji Chaoyun didn't come close, he just looked at the hole from a distance and sighed silently.
Feng Qi said before the retreat that it would be more than ten days, but now the time limit has come, but there is still no sign of going out.
Miss him so much.
Knowing that the people who are in their hearts and thoughts are separated by a wall, but can't see them for so long, this feeling is really annoying.
Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes, hid his figure behind the tree, and a ray of light flew out from his sleeve.
The faint silver light turned into a slender little dragon, quietly approaching the entrance of the cave guarded by the disciple.
Ji Chaoyun naturally understands that even if his consciousness is out of his body, he still can't enter this enchantment. But at least this way, I can get closer to him. The little silver dragon squatted in the grass at the entrance of the cave, looking up at the huge translucent barrier in front of him, and the dragon whiskers drooped down in despair.
Suddenly, there was a breeze from the entrance of the cave, blowing the grass.
"?" Ji Chaoyun only felt that his body was light, and he was swept into the hole by the gust of wind.
When the calm outside Lingxu Cave returned, a disciple yawned and tilted his head to ask, "Did the barrier move just now?"
"No, no one can open the barrier set by Tianshu Xianzun himself."
"Right… "
The little silver dragon was floated through the corridor by the breeze and came to a larger space. After he entered, the barrier was automatically repaired, completely isolating the sound outside the cave.
The interior of the cave is simple, with only a stone bed for meditation, the stone wall automatically glows with a faint white light, and the entire cave is unobstructed.
But no one was there.
Ji Chaoyun looked around suspiciously, and as soon as he turned back into human form and stood up, he was pulled from behind.
His feet were empty, and the next second, he fell on the stone bed on the other side of the cave. A warm body covered him, blocking all his voices in his throat.
The familiar breath filled his mouth instantly, Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth obediently, and was kissed inside and out by the other party.
After a while, Feng Qi raised his head with a smile in his eyes: "You miss me?"
After just over ten days of absence, Feng Qi was not quite the same as before.
The spiritual power in his body has become more mellow and natural, but the appearance is far less sharp than before, and even the invisible sense of oppression has been restrained.
Ji Chaoyun stared at him blankly.
The more this person is like, the closer he is to what he remembered.
"Why don't you talk, you're scared?"
"I..." As soon as Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth, someone bit him at the corner of his lips.
Feng Qi affectionately rubbed the tip of his nose against Ji Chaoyun's profile, and his voice was a little aggrieved: "You don't come to see me for so many days, you should be punished."
Ji Chaoyun said, "I'm afraid it will affect your practice."
"Aren't you afraid today?"
"I'm afraid." Ji Chaoyun whispered, "I didn't plan to come in, I just wanted to take a look outside."
Feng Qi played with Ji Chaoyun's earlobe and chuckled, "What can you see outside? With this barrier, you can't even feel my breath. How could it be better now, you can take advantage of the living Phoenix."
Ji Chaoyun, who was taken advantage of, was noncommittal, but he was keenly aware of what he said: "You can already break the enchantment of Tianshu Immortal Venerable?"
Feng Qi was not modest at all: "Yes, your husband, am I very good?"
"..." Ji Chaoyun said, "I'm leaving."
"Don't, let me hold you for a while." Feng Qi buried his head on Ji Chaoyun's shoulder and took a deep breath, "I miss you so much, I want to see you all the time."
Ji Chaoyun asked, "Has your cultivation level stabilized?"
"How can it be so easy." Feng Qi said, "I just discovered recently, and I don't know why, the cultivation base in my body is far greater than I thought. What I used originally was just the tip of the iceberg. I want to control it completely. I am afraid that it cannot be done overnight.”
Ji Chaoyun's eyelashes moved slightly: "Then you... do you have to retreat for a long time?"
"No, it's just that these few days are not stable, my uncle told me not to rush out, so as not to fall short." Feng Qi kissed Ji Chaoyun's eye and whispered, "I won't make you wait too long, Tian Bang Da. I will definitely come out."
Ji Chaoyun raised his arms around Feng Qi's body, and muttered softly, "But there are still four months left for the Tianbang Big Competition."
Feng Qi smiled and was about to say something when his expression suddenly condensed: "Someone is here."
He tilted his head slightly and said again: "It seems to be coming to find you."
After Feng Qi said this, Ji Chaoyun also realized that someone was approaching his body.
He froze all over, but the latter lowered his head and kissed him unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I'll take you out."
After a brief kiss, Ji Chaoyun only felt that he was wrapped in a warm wind again. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the place where he had just passed out of consciousness.
He stood up holding the trunk, and subconsciously looked back at the direction of Lingxu's entrance.
The speed at which Feng Qi's cultivation progressed... was also terrifying.
The power of the ancient gods finally began to gradually awaken in this body.
If that power is finally awakened, can he also recover the memory and divine identity that belonged to Feng Xiao
There were footsteps behind him, and a deacon disciple hurried towards him: "Junior Brother Ji, you are really here."
Ji Chaoyun calmed his mind and asked, "What is your brother looking for from me?"
"It was Immortal Venerable Tianshu summoned." The disciple said, "We received news that the market town at the foot of Hongmeng Mountain was attacked, with heavy casualties. Immortal Venerable is about to send his disciples down the mountain to help and investigate the whole story."
