The next day, the academy was closed, and each hall held the selection of deacon disciples.

In the past, the quiet academy was rare and bustling. There were many people in front of the halls, and the inspector hall had the largest number of people.

The Inspectorate’s work is heavy, so it recruits the most disciples and has the highest monthly salary.The front door of the inspector's hall was like a city, no one noticed, and a shallow golden light slipped into the hall quietly.

Feng Qi and Ji Chaoyun appeared in the dark outside the side hall.

The selection of disciples was carried out in front of the main hall, and the back of the courtyard and several side halls were quiet, with only a few disciples in charge of inspections.Feng Qi took Ji Chaoyun to avoid the eyes and ears, and came to a side hall in a familiar way.

This is the bedroom of Yaoguang Xianjun.

Yaoguang Xianjun is busy selecting disciples in the main hall at the moment, and there is no one in the bedroom, which is convenient for them to move.Feng Qi opened the door silently and pulled Ji Chaoyun into the house.

This high-ranking little prince of the Feng clan is surprisingly proficient in these petty thefts.

Ji Chaoyun secretly slandered himself.

The furnishings in the bedroom are simple and elegant, which is the unique unified style of Hongmeng Academy.The door was closed tightly to isolate the light, and there was no light on, making it a bit dim.

Feng Qi said, "That's it, look for it."

Ji Chaoyun nodded, and the two began to search separately.The bedroom of Yaoguang Xianjun is not too big. Ji Chaoyun walked around the screen and walked into the inner room. After only looking for a moment, he found a sword box beside the bed.

The sword box looks simple and old, with carved patterns on it, and it is faintly aware that there is sword intent overflowing from it.

"Feng Qi!"

Feng Qi walked in quickly, but when he saw the sword box he raised his brows: "Is it really hidden?"

He raised his hand and pressed it on the top of the sword box, and felt a little: "Yes, the sword intent in this is indeed the sword of Yaoguang Xianjun.... He was always equipped with a sword before, but recently he has suddenly become unworthy. On the contrary, hiding the sword in the house is really a guilty conscience."

Ji Chaoyun looked down and didn't answer, vaguely feeling that things were not that simple.

Feng Qi said, "There is no lock on this sword case, and no spell-casting seal. I'll open it for you. Are you the sword that chased you down?"

Ji Chaoyun answered, and Feng Qi cast a spell to uncover the sword box.

The lid was lifted, and a clear sword intent came into view first.

The sword in the box is slender and less than two fingers wide. There is a black jade on the hilt of the sword. The body of the sword lies quietly in the silver scabbard, faintly with pure immortal power.

Ji Chaoyun's heart sank.

Not the sword the man in black used to kill him.

Observing Ji Chaoyun's expression, Feng Qi frowned slightly: "Not this sword?"

Ji Chaoyun shook his head: "No."

"Are you sure?"

Ji Chaoyun closed his eyes and tried his best to force himself to recall what happened on the rainy night, and said with difficulty: "I remember... the sword is very long, but the blade is not so narrow. The whole body is simple and simple, and there is no such pure immortal power."

"Yes, Xianli." Ji Chaoyun suddenly woke up, "There is no celestial power on that sword, so I never thought it was something from the fairyland."

Feng Qi's face was a little heavy, and for a while, his eyebrows relaxed, but there was not much loss of expression: "It seems that my intuition is wrong this time?"

"Sorry……"

Feng Qi smiled softly: "There is nothing to apologize for, you never have to say these two words to me, it's just..."

Before he finished his words, the two faces changed.

someone is coming.

Feng Qi quickly cast a spell to restore the sword box, and took Ji Chaoyun into a golden light and jumped onto the beam.

Almost at the same time, the door of the bedroom was pushed open.

Several inspection disciples stepped in quickly: "Who is inside? Come out!"

No one in the room responded, and the few people quickly searched: "No one?" "Is it already running away?" "Xianzun has just noticed that someone has come in. There is nothing wrong with it. Chase!"

When several people were talking, no one noticed, the golden light slipped out along the gap in the open door.

The two appeared in the shadows of Fangcai's courtyard.

The inspector's hall was no longer peaceful, and several teams of inspection disciples searched around the courtyard and the side hall.At this time, a few disciples came towards their direction, and Feng Qi decisively pulled Ji Chaoyun towards the back of the rockery.

Feng Qi covered Ji Chaoyun's mouth with one hand to prevent him from making a sound. He looked out and saw that the few people hadn't noticed them, so he was slightly relieved.

The gap behind the rockery is narrow, and it is a bit reluctant to hide the two of them.Feng Qi had to bend down and lower his head, his body almost clinging to Ji Chaoyun.

An overly familiar breath enveloped him, and Ji Chaoyun raised his eyes to look at the face close at hand, feeling a little lost.

After these days, he originally thought that he had clearly separated the two of them, but when Feng Qi approached this way, his heart was still inevitably chaotic.

so similar……

The footsteps faded away, but none of them moved.

The two looked at each other quietly. After a while, Feng Qi asked softly: "What are you looking at?"

Ji Chaoyun opened his mouth to speak, but Feng Qi did not release the hand covering his lips, and he couldn't say a word.

"Hush." ​​Feng Qi lowered his eyes to look at him, some unconcealed emotion pouring out in those eyes.He raised his hand on the stone wall, his fingers drew a strand of Ji Chaoyun's scattered hair behind his ears, "I will assume you are looking at me."

The air behind the rockery seemed to become extremely thin at this moment.

Ji Chaoyun's lips touched the warm palm of the other party, and the familiar breath wrapped him tightly, as if the old days were reappearing.

Afterwards, Feng Qi smiled softly and let go of Ji Chaoyun.

Ji Chaoyun looked in a trance: "You..."

Feng Qi's expression naturally seemed as if nothing happened just now, and he exhorted: "Shake Guang is aware of it, but now he can't fly out. I'll lead people away. You wait for someone to leave and find a chance to slip into the main hall. If someone finds out, just say that you are here to participate in the selection and you just get lost."

"...Go straight back after going out, see you Wen Qufeng."

After he said this, his figure turned into a golden light and disappeared.

Ji Chaoyun stared in the direction he was going, and subconsciously raised his hand and touched his lips. He did not recover for a long time.

"Over there, chase!"

A disciple's voice faintly heard from outside, and after a while, the faint sound of footsteps disappeared, and the courtyard where Ji Chaoyun was hiding finally calmed down.

He sighed slightly and stepped out from behind the rockery.

Feng Qi led away the patrol disciples nearby, but Ji Chaoyun didn't bump into anyone all the way, and soon came near the main hall.The selection of disciples in front of the main hall has stopped, and a crowd of disciples waiting for selection are waiting in the courtyard in front of the main hall, and the atmosphere is noisy for a while.

Ji Chaoyun lowered his eyes to the wall and walked out. Just walking out of the inspector's hall, he suddenly heard a strange voice ringing in his ears.

"Don't rush away."

Ji Chaoyun paused and turned around, but there was no one behind him.A white butterfly turned into a spiritual butterfly fell on his shoulder, and the voice slowly came out: "Don't be nervous, I am here."

The voice was clear and gentle, but Ji Chaoyun had never heard it.

Ji Chaoyun's expression was cold and frosty, and he released his spiritual power to feel a little bit, but he couldn't detect the other party's true body.

This person's cultivation base is much higher than him.

Ji Chaoyun said softly: "Who are you?"

Lingdie whirled around him briskly: "If you want to know, just come and see me?"

"Why should I listen to you?"

The voice smiled softly and said calmly: "If you don't come to see me, I will sue Yaoguang Xianjun, saying that you and Feng Qi sneaked into his bedroom."

A faint light flashed in Ji Chaoyun's eyes, he closed his eyes, and suppressed the strangeness in his eyes: "Lead the way."

The Lingdie whirled around his side and flew forward.

The owner of this Lingdie seemed to know the route of Hongmeng Academy very well. Lingdie took Ji Chaoyun straight to the back mountain, passed through a large pine forest, and disappeared in front of a waterfall.

At this moment, all the disciples were concentrated in the front mountain, and the forest only heard the sound of running water and the scream of insects, making it extremely quiet.

Suddenly, the grass in front of him rustled lightly, and Ji Chaoyun's hand hidden in his sleeve instantly glowed with spiritual light.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you alone, not malicious." A white figure came out from the bushes.

It was an adult-sized white fox, with nine fluffy tails dragging long behind him. The whole body was snow white, except that the end of the tail was dyed with light red.

The white fox stared at Ji Chaoyun with light green eyes, and uttered a human voice: "I didn't expect that the first time I met was so rude, I hope to forgive me."

Ji Chaoyun frowned slightly: "Are you Tianhu?"

"Yes."

The suspicion on Ji Chaoyun's face has not faded, and he coldly said: "What are you looking for me for?"

The white fox walked forward for half a step, and said unhurriedly: "As you can see, I was injured a little and cannot recover my body temporarily. I am looking for someone who injured me. Maybe you can help me."

"Why should I help you?"

"Because... we might be looking for the same person."

"...Two months ago, the Qingqiu Tianhu Clan was attacked, and an extremely important treasure was lost within the clan. The attacker headed by wearing a black cloak, a pure white mask, and a sword covered with black air. Can't see the real picture."

Ji Chaoyun's eyes moved slightly: "What did they steal?"

The white fox paused and did not answer directly, only saying: "These days I was seriously injured and unable to recover, but it was convenient for me to move. I found that the thing was taken back to Hongmeng College, and then I also found that black Yi Ren appeared in the sea to attack you. I guess his next target may be you."

"Do you know what the purpose of the man in black is?"

The white fox looked at him steadily, and said slowly: "The seal of the magic domain."

"Three hundred years ago, the God of Fengxiao sealed the Demon Realm and placed the seal key on top of the three treasures. Those three treasures were finally stored in the Sky Fox Clan in Qingqiu, the Phoenix Clan in Fengming Valley, and Human World One. The place is called the land of Mount Xumi." White Fox said, "Mount Xumi is guarded by the divine power of the Phoenix God, even we have not found its place. Now the treasure of Qingqiu has been taken away, his next goal should be Fengming Valley."

Ji Chaoyun's expression was cold, and he couldn't see the slightest clue: "I don't know anything about what you are talking about. What is the God of Phoenix, what does it have to do with me?"

The white fox paused weirdly before continuing: "After the incident, I immediately contacted the patriarch of the Feng clan to remind him to be careful. But then I learned that the god Feng Xiao never stayed in Fengming Valley. Any treasure."

"In the original battle, the fairyland was torn apart, and even my father was buried in the calamity. There was no one to trust the fairyland at that time. Perhaps the god Fengxiao wanted to protect the true artifact Where, I lied with the Feng Clan."

Ji Chaoyun's face finally changed: "You mean..."

"We guess, will he leave anything on you?"

Ji Zhaoyun lowered his eyes, the blood on his face faded, and the dark forest was white.

After a long while, he said dumbly: "How can I trust you?"

"It's okay if you don't believe me. I tell this, but I want to remind you to protect yourself. The Feng Clan is stronger than Qingqiu. If you meet that person, you won't necessarily suffer. But you are different. If that thing really belongs to you. , For fear of life."

Ji Chaoyun did not answer, he asked: "You just said that you want me to help you? Do you know that person is in the academy?"

"I feel that the fox clan's stolen magic weapon was brought back to the academy, and that person must be here." Bai Fox said, "I really want to ask for help, but... your little dragon has such a low spiritual power, protect it. It's not easy for myself, what can you do for me?"

"Then what are you..."

"He is looking for me." A voice interrupted coldly.

Ji Chaoyun turned around to look, Feng Qi walked forward with a blank face, pulled Ji Chaoyun behind him, and squinted at the white fox in the bushes: "I haven't seen you in a few months, you actually made yourself so embarrassed, what can be more Is it shameful, Bai, Qiu, Yue."

Wen Qufeng.

Ji Chaoyun followed Feng Qi back to the courtyard, the latter always kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

Feng Qi snapped the courtyard door closed. He turned the spirit storage ring in his hand, and a white fox jumped out of the ring.The white fox turned around dazedly in the same place for a few times, and will stabilize his figure: "It turns out that it feels like this when being put away as a spiritual pet. It's too dizzy."

Feng Qi looked at him disgustingly: "How long will it take you to recover?"

"It will take a month to say nothing."

Feng Qi gave a "tsk" without saying anything.

Ji Chaoyun looked at the white fox, then at Feng Qi, and asked in a low voice, "So what is he..."

The white fox finally smoothed the fluff that had exploded on his body, with a smile in his voice: "I just didn't have time to introduce it. Bai Qiuyue, the patriarch of the Tianhu clan in Xiaqingqiu, a Tianzi-level disciple of Hongmeng Academy."

"Tianzi-level..." Ji Chaoyun finally remembered where he had heard this name, "Are you Bai Qiuyue who ranks second in the sky list?"

Hearing Ji Chaoyun mention this, Feng Qi finally felt a little more happy.

He turned his head and smiled at Ji Chaoyun, and emphasized: "Yes, that's the Bai Qiuyue who enrolled in the same year as me and was defeated by me for five full days."

Ji Chaoyun: "..."

Bai Qiuyue: "..."

Hongmeng Academy is a place for pure cultivation, and disciples often practice in the lower realms, or practice in retreat.Regardless of whether it is practice or retreat, it can take as little as several months to as many as several years. Therefore, the disciples with higher ranks actually stay in the academy less.

Looking at the top ten today, the only ones who stay in the academy are nothing.

Of course, Feng Qi is the only one who doesn't go out to practice, doesn't take classes well, and spends his life all day long.

Bai Qiuyue was extremely talented, and she assumed the position of patriarch of the Tianhu clan when she was young, and often left the academy because of important events in the clan.Therefore, Ji Chaoyun has never seen him since entering school.

Ji Chaoyun decisively didn't answer the conversation, but listened to Bai Qiuyue's words: "But my literary exam is number one."

"..."

He pondered for a moment: "Oh, occasionally the overall ranking can also be first, because His Royal Highness Feng Er never read Taoism."

Feng Qi grinds his lower teeth and cuts through the gaps between the teeth, "Say another word, I will kick you out."

Patriarch Bai flicked his tail lightly and hid behind Ji Chaoyun.

Ji Chaoyun caught Feng Qi's gaze off guard, and immediately moved away uncomfortably: "I, let's talk about what we should do now."

"There is nothing to plan." Feng Qi didn't notice his abnormality, and said, "You have me to protect you, no one in the academy can move you. As for this fox, I will raise it in Wenqu Peak this month and wait for it to recover. Get out of your body, get out of me immediately."

Bai Qiuyue: "Feng Qi, what I just said..."

"I heard it all." Feng Qi said, "Shake Guang where we have checked today, not him."

"What about the rest?"

"There is currently no evidence."

Bai Qiuyue fell silent, but Ji Chaoyun said: "However, there are people in the academy who have such a strong power to beat Senior Brother Bai back to his original form?"

Feng Qi's eyebrows twitched sensitively. Before he could say anything, Bai Qiuyue answered, "Junior Brother Ji said something I've been thinking about. The man in black is not using immortality, maybe some kind of demon skill. Fa. I'm thinking, if he is really from the academy, he should never show his true strength in front of us."

"... Isn't that harder to find?"

"Yes." Bai Qiuyue sighed softly, "If it weren't, why would I come to you for help?"

The courtyard fell into silence for a while, Feng Qi said: "Okay, now the clues are broken, and there is no point in frowning here. Let's do what we should do.

Ji Chaoyun nodded, and was about to go back to the bedroom, but was pulled by Feng Qi, "You come with me."

"Where to go?"

"Dengyun Tower." Feng Qi said lightly, "The penalized scriptures have not been copied yet."

Ji Chaoyun wondered: "But you didn't say yesterday that we are taking a day off today, shall we take a day off?"

"..."

Feng Qi glanced at Bai Qiuyue, only to feel that the fox was now brighter than the Pearl of the Deep Sea Night, and the more it looked, the more dazzling it became.He retracted his gaze and said with a calm expression: "What do you need to take a break? The Discipline Hall came to urge me to copy the penalty quickly yesterday, and no rest is allowed until the copy is finished."

His Royal Highness Feng Er never took the words of the Commandment Hall to heart like today. Ji Chaoyun was silent for a moment, but he couldn't find any reason to refute, so he reluctantly left with him.

It is rare that there is no Xianzun to give lectures, and even the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion does not have any disciples reading. Only the Nuan Pavilion of Dengyun Tower still has the sound of scrolling through the books.

Ji Chaoyun quickly finished copying the copy at hand without raising his head: "Feng Qi, give me the copy with you."

Feng Qi didn't answer.

Ji Chaoyun looked up at him suspiciously, the latter still sitting still, with a solemn expression.

"Feng Qi?"

Hearing Ji Chaoyun calling him, the latter raised his head and glanced at him lightly, then turned a page and continued to copy: "What do you call me?"

"..." Ji Chaoyun's expression instantly became a bit difficult to say, and Fu Lingxin could understand Feng Qi's meaning.

He looked at the scriptures that Feng Qi had deliberately pressed under his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Feng, please pass me the next book."

Feng Qi finally showed a slight smile, he turned over the book under his hand and handed it to him, and said with satisfaction: "This is good, don't always treat me as big or small."

When Ji Chaoyun was about to pick him up, Feng Qi's hand suddenly loosened, and he held his wrist back.

Ji Chaoyun struggled subconsciously, and Feng Qi blinked at him: "Don't copy, I'll take you to a place."

Feng Qi took Ji Chaoyun upstairs.

The top floor of Dengyun Tower is Fengqi's residence, and the layout is no worse than that of Wenqufeng's courtyard.Ji Chaoyun stayed in Dengyun Tower for several months, most of the time he stayed in Shuge, and he would never live here.

Dengyun Tower is the tallest building in Hongmeng Academy, with an extremely broad view. The entire Hongmeng Academy can be seen from the distance.

"Remember the time you took the entrance exam?" Feng Qi and Ji Chaoyun stood side by side in front of the guardrail, with a gentle voice, "I was here at that time and saw you defeat Song Zhifei and provoke Jiangcheng."

Ji Zhaoyun followed Feng Qi's line of sight and saw the white jade platform.

Feng Qi put one hand on the guardrail next to Ji Chaoyun, looking like he was holding him in his arms: "There is an enchantment outside Dengyun Tower. You can't see it from the outside, but you can see it from the inside. See the entire Hongmeng Academy and even the Hongmeng Mountain in the distance. How does it feel?"

The distant mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, and the sunlight penetrates the clouds and sprinkles on the snow-covered Hongmeng Mountain, sprinkling a golden light.

"It's beautiful." Ji Chaoyun said sincerely, "it's no wonder that Dengyun Tower can be the number one reward on the top list. It is indeed beautiful."

Feng Qi tilted his head to look at him: "Do you like it?"

Ji Chaoyun looked a little surprised and did not answer.

Feng Qi rubbed his hair lightly, turned and walked into the room, and said with a smile: "If you like it, it can be yours here."

Ji Chaoyun was startled.

His eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of awkwardness in his voice: "Feng, Fengqi, you... why do you say that?"

Feng Qi sat down on the soft couch in the room and stared at Ji Chaoyun's back. He felt his throat dry and said softly, "Why do you think it is?"
