It has been a few days since I came to Yinghui Peak. Pei Jing blended in perfectly, playing the role of an unpopular young man who came in through the backstage.
This time when he entered the world, he really didn't experience anything. Maybe it was because his opponent was too weak and he was too strong.
One morning, in front of the school as usual, the elder was teaching herbal knowledge, talking about rare herbs and peerless elixirs.
Pei Jing was bored, so he simply lowered his head, leaned on the table, and took a piece of paper to fold a thousand paper cranes for fun.
When his hands were full of small paper cranes, he suddenly heard Elder Cao slowly say, "Counting the days, you have been in Yunxiao for five days. In these five days, you should have understood some basic things in the world of cultivation. According to the tradition of Yinghui Peak, I should take you down the mountain to gain some experience in the next few days. But this time, there are some things in my peak that need to be dealt with. So I changed the rules a little."
"Can we go down the mountain now?" A group of disciples instantly became alert, their eyes shining.
Elder Cao ignored their delighted looks and continued, "This time, the training location is in the Yunlan Mountains. It's close, but also far. I will send a few brothers to protect you and arrange tasks for you. You will form a group of five and take care of each other. I will check your gains in half a month."
Pei Jing was also stunned and looked up. Yunlan Mountains - finally it was not a small fight. This mountain range has existed for at least a thousand years, and there are many powerful monsters lurking in the depths. However, as a training ground, they should only be allowed to move around in the outer circle.
The disciples could hardly contain their joy and talked in low voices, exchanging information about the Yunlan Mountains. The originally lifeless school suddenly became lively.
Elder Cao coughed, interrupting the noise. When everyone quieted down, Elder Cao flicked his whisk and said slowly: "The world outside the mountain is not unfamiliar to you, but this time you will go down the mountain with a completely new identity. Before, you were mortals, weaklings, but now you are cultivators, disciples of Yunxiao. You are going down the mountain with the mission of slaying demons and maintaining order in the world, do you understand?"
All the disciples responded in unison: "Understood!"
Elder Cao said, "Pack up everything. We'll set out this afternoon."
After hearing the rules clearly and the class was over, Pei Jing took the initiative to find Chu Junyu and enthusiastically extended an olive branch: "How about we form a group of two?"
Chu Junyu sat in his seat, wearing a blue and white robe and a white jade crown, with cold brows and eyes, and looked at him coldly.
After Pei Jing, a large group of people came over, trying to get Chu Junyu to join them, talking a lot.
"Brother Chu, why don't you join us? We only need you to have five of us."
"Brother Jun Yu, look at me. The four of us in my group are all at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If you join us in the group, it will be even stronger."
The brothers behind all started shouting.
"Brother Chu, don't listen to their nonsense. So what if they are at the seventh level of Qi Refining? Their hands and feet skills are not good enough, so it will be difficult for them to deal with the monsters!"
"Brother! I was with you in the first round of Yunxiao selection, do you still remember me?"
"Brother, brother..."
Pei Jing, who was quickly drowned in the crowd and far away from the center, heard the corners of his mouth twitching. What is this? It's like a hen laying eggs.
He pulled himself away from the crowd again, emerged from the crowd, stood in front of Chu Junyu, turned around and said to everyone, "Can you guys just disperse? I already said Chu Junyu and I are a team, two people are enough!"
"Go away, what does it have to do with you?" Everyone glared at him fiercely, not understanding why he, a relative of a family, was so proud here.
At this time, Chu Junyu stood up. Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and they didn't bother to pay attention to Pei Jing, waiting for him to make a decision. But Chu Junyu ignored everyone and pulled Pei Jing out.
Everyone: “…”
The person was taken away. Pei Jing, who had just reacted, was both amused and annoyed. His first action was to turn around and make faces at the dumbfounded people. Then he smiled and waved his hands, saying smugly, "Do you know why he chose me?"
In the murderous gazes of the crowd, he smiled meaningfully: "Because I can fight five alone."
Everyone: “…”
I was so angry that I couldn't speak.
You are fighting one against five and you don’t need teammates, so give Chu Junyu to us!
After leaving the school, Pei Jing was no longer so arrogant. On the way back to Xiu Yayuan, he had a smile on his lips and turned his head to quietly look at Chu Junyu.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this kid performed well today.
The road was narrow and the grass and trees were covered with dew.
Pei Jing thought of the pile of small paper cranes in his sleeves.
He held them tightly in his hand, clenched them into a fist, and then handed them to Chu Junyu, saying, "How about I perform a magic trick for you?"
Chu Junyu lowered his head to take a look, then turned back: "I don't want to see it."
Pei Jing spread out his five fingers and said, "You have to watch it even if you don't want to."
The moment his five fingers opened, a ball of white light bloomed in his palm.
The paper cranes seemed to come to life, their wings shining with silver starlight as they flew into the air.
In the misty mountains and forests, under the thin sunlight, it becomes flowing light and phantoms. It is extremely beautiful.
Chu Junyu looked at all this with a cold gaze.
Pei Jing beside him smiled and said, "It looks good, right?"
Chu Junyu did not answer, but stretched out his hand. His fingers were pale, bloodless, slender and stiff.
There was a paper crane on his fingertips.
Pei Jing snorted and laughed: "Tell me the truth, do you actually consider me as a friend in your heart, otherwise why would you choose me today?"
Chu Junyu tilted his head.
The boy used to tie his hair with a straw rope, his eyes were slightly round, his pupils were large, and his smile gave people a particularly warm and refreshing feeling. Every smile overlapped with a rain, as bright as before.
"Really? Hehe, don't be embarrassed, it's not shameful to be friends with me! I have been popular in our village since I was a child, and there are a group of people chasing after me every day." Although they all chased me and beat me.
Chu Junyu smiled, and the thousand paper cranes resting on his fingertips instantly turned into ashes. Silver, floating in the air bit by bit.
He lowered his eyes and said, "You will regret it."
Pei Jing was stunned: "What do you regret?"
Chu Junyu smiled at him. He had always been so cold and stern, as if he was just trying to suppress something.
The brief smile made Pei Jing feel again the danger that he had sensed when he first saw him.
The light-colored eyes were like shattered glass, and behind the indifference, there was a violent and bloody struggle.
He leaned over and said, "Regret coming near me, getting close to me."... Even, let me in.
