After Cultivating With the Enemy

"When I was a dragon egg, my parents lost their lives in misfortune. It was Jun Yan who took me back to the Dragon Palace and took good care of it."

Yuehua was reflected in the forest through the shadow of the whirling tree, Jun Ruzhuo leaned against the trunk, his expression hidden in the darkness, he couldn't really see it: "He was the first person I saw when I was born, and he named me. He taught me to read, read, and practice martial arts. He said he will always be my brother and will always protect me."

"Then why..." Feng Qi swallowed, and his voice became a bit difficult, "Why did he... be like this?"

Jun Ruzhuo didn't answer, he curled his lips ironically, with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "Jun Yan is extremely talented, and he has been the proud son of heaven since birth. What a beautiful scenery, no one dares to respect him in the entire fairyland. There is a sound of His Royal Highness. Speaking of which, it is almost the same as the current status of His Royal Highness Feng Er."

"When it comes to the appearance of a person, and the attainments of cultivation, you are far behind him."

Feng Qi ignored the irony in this person's words and asked, "What happened to him?"

Jun Ruzhuo said: "Three hundred years ago, he left the Lingyuanhai lower realm to travel. In just three months, he returned and lost his dragon ball, and was alive for half his life."

Feng Qi's eyes suddenly shrank: "Dragon Ball? How could the Dragon Ball be lost?"

"No one knows, he refuses to say." Jun Ruzhuo said, "Dragon Ball is where the spiritual core is located. It cannot be taken unless it is biopsy. Jun Yan's cultivation base has reached its peak. Who do you think has the dragon ball that can take him away? "

A chill rushed from Feng Qi's back to the back of his head, and he said dumbly: "You mean... he gave the Dragon Ball to someone else?"

"Other than that, I can't think of other possibilities." Jun Ruzhuo mocked, "Do you know what it means for a dragon to lose a dragon ball? It means that he is completely destroyed, his cultivation is completely lost, and he can no longer learn. Wu Xiu can no longer restore his former strength. It's ridiculous. The best descendant of the Dragon Clan for hundreds of years has become a useless person. It is ridiculous..."

"Just because of this, you drove him out of Lingyuanhai?"

Jun Ruzhuo fell silent for a while before continuing: "I don't know what happened during that time. Something seemed to have happened to Ling Yuanhai at that time, but I was too young and was sent away from the Dragon Palace. I heard that my elder brother... after I heard that Jun Yan had an accident, I rushed back, and happened to ran into Jun Yan wounding the guard guarding him, trying to flee to the lower realm."

"I actually stopped him, I begged him to stay, begged him to get the Dragon Ball back. Do you know what he said to me?"

"……what?"

"He said that Ling Yuanhai can't tolerate him anymore." Jun Ruzhuo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "After his accident, his uncle was very distressed. He refused to tell the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball, so his uncle replaced him. He searched all over the world and tried his best to save him. I don't understand why he thinks that way. But maybe he is such a stupid person who trusts others so easily."

"What do you mean?"

"Because he told me that he was going to meet someone."

In the old days, the young Jun Yan stood on the coast, looking at the sea and sky in the distance, but his pale and haggard face carried a vivid expression that Jun Ruzhuo had never seen in his life.

"Azhu, I'm waiting for someone." His eyes were shining in the blue Lingyuanhai, and his smile was soft and calm. "When he comes back, everything will return to what it should have been."

"Who are you waiting for, who did you give the Dragon Ball?"

"I can't say." Jun Yan said, "but you believe me, I know what I am doing, and I will definitely come back."

"He hadn't cultivated at that time. Escaped the Dragon Palace and exhausted his last strength. It was me who led away the chasers and sent him to the lower realm. I thought he would come back." Jun Ruzhuo said, "Think about it now. I was as stupid as him at that time, and I believed his story. I would believe that the man who had only known him for less than three months and deceived him to ruin his cultivation will return."

Jun Ruzhuo's eyes are red, and his hoarse voice is full of hatred: "His dragon ball is the supreme treasure. Anyone who gets it can immediately have the spiritual power of the heaven and earth. How could he be stupid? To believe that the person will return it to him?"

Feng Qi's heart stabbed without warning, and the subtle pain almost made him breathless.But Jun Ruzhuo didn't notice his strangeness, and sneered: "I just forgot to ask. I wonder if he regrets his stupidity after waiting for three hundred years."

No, he has no regrets.

Feng Qi closed his eyes, and Ji Chaoyun's heart suddenly regained the appearance of Phoenix Lingyu. The expression that was extremely cherished and relieved was definitely not the appearance of regret.

He waited for three hundred years, but until now, he still believes that the person who took his Dragon Ball will return.

What made him believe this all the time?

Jun Ruzhuo buried his face in his palm, as if using this action to hide a certain emotion.After a long while, he finally calmed down and continued slowly: "After Jun Yan defected, the Dragon King ordered him to be expelled from the Dragon Clan, and he will never return to Lingyuan Sea."

"I've been to the Lower Realm to find him in these years, but I couldn't find it. Later, there were rumors that Jun Yan defected to the Lower Realm as a demon, and some people said he was dead." Jun Ruzhuo suddenly smiled slightly. , His voice was heavy and sorrowful, "...I would rather he be dead than to watch him live so prolonged."

But he didn't.

The scarred young man who had lost his cultivation level had been in the world for more than three hundred years. He changed his name and changed his surname, faded away from a fairy bone, fell into a demon, and ascended again, once again standing in this fairyland.

When Feng Qi returned to Wenqufeng, the curfew had already passed.He walked into the familiar courtyard and stood by the stone bridge, looking across the water at the closed door of Ji Chaoyun's bedroom, and the candlelight dancing on the window.

Before Jun Ruzhuo told him the truth, he actually had a vague guess in his heart.

Ji Chaoyun's innate temperament, his rejection and dislike of the fairyland, and Jun Ruzhuo's extraordinary attitude towards him, shouldn't be the result of a demon dragon who first entered the fairyland.

But the truth is still beyond his imagination.

Feng Qi didn't dare to think about how that person survived the three hundred years that he rebelled against the Dragon Clan and was completely destroyed.

What is it that has supported him until now.

Who is he waiting for?

An inexplicable and sharp tingling spread from his heart, and Feng Qi frowned, raising his hand and pressing it firmly against his heart, even breathing hard.

Since he was conscious, he has never felt such an out of control emotion, strange, but it seems like it should be.

A faint noise came from the back of the room, pulling Feng Qi back from his chaotic thoughts.He followed the sound around the house, a thin figure standing in the spiritual field behind the house, bending over to water the spiritual grass.

Ji Chaoyun only wore a thin short coat, his cuffs were rolled up, revealing a small slender white wrist bone.His half-loose long hair was tied behind his head with a strap, and only a few strands fell from the front of his forehead, which was a bit cleaner than before.

His plain clothes and hands were stained with mud, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Feng Qi looked at him from a distance, only to feel that his eyes were dry, and he couldn't say a word.

"What are you looking at?" Ji Chaoyun straightened up and asked suspiciously.

Feng Qi looked away like a cover, and asked slightly in a dumb voice, "What are you doing again?"

"Watering your precious spirit grasses, can't you see it?" Ji Chaoyun bent down and continued the previous movement, "You haven't taken care of the spirit field for a few days. These spirit herbs are delicate, why are you doing this? May be able to feed."

"You worry so much about what you do, and you won't be able to pay for it." Feng Qi asked, "Why don't you practice tonight?"

"If you can't calm down, it's better to find something to do." Ji Chaoyun replied vaguely, and then said, "Anyway, I'm here to do the hard work for you to pay off debts. As you said earlier, taking care of the spiritual field is three spirits Shi, don't reckless."

Feng Qi whispered: "I don't really want you to pay it back."

"what?"

Feng Qi: "It took a total of five thousand spirit stones to redeem your purse. Jiangcheng came out of three thousand. I asked Xu Zixing for the remaining two thousand. He sold your purse for one thousand, and the remaining one thousand is considered His lesson. We have already settled, you don't owe me."

Ji Chaoyun actually knew this.

His Royal Highness Feng Er never let himself suffer. From the beginning, he didn't plan to pay the money himself.It's just that according to what he said before, blackmailing Jiangcheng and Xu Zixing for compensation was his method, and the debt Ji Chaoyun owed him was another matter and could not be counted together.

For this reason, Ji Chaoyun even felt that if His Royal Highness Feng Er really spent his savings and went to the sea market to be a profiteer, he would be able to live well.

Ji Chaoyun was still wondering why this person had changed sex. He suddenly thought of something. A sense of crisis developed in his heart. He cautiously asked, "You want to drive me away?"

"...No." Feng Qi frowned, "What are you thinking about all day long, am I this kind of person?"

"It's hard to tell." Ji Chaoyun's subordinates kept moving, but his tone was obviously lighter. "Don't you know that it is recognized in the academy that the most elusive person is you? Who knows what you are thinking."

Feng Qi smiled slightly: "Then do you want to know what I am thinking now?"

"what?"

"Come here and I will tell you."

Ji Chaoyun glanced at him suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong with this person tonight.But Feng Qi's expression didn't show the slightest clue, he pondered for a moment, put down the things in his hands, and walked across the spiritual field towards Feng Qi with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

"Go ahead, what about you—"

Before he finished his words, he was suddenly embraced.

Feng Qi bent down and tightened his arms hard, as if to rub Ji Chaoyun into his arms.

He actually didn't know why he wanted to do this, but it seemed that this was the only way to counteract the lingering pain that was always lingering in his heart.

Ji Chaoyun froze in place, but the envoy and the ghost did not push people away.

When the old man met, he was far less calm than himself.

After so many years, those things are already in the past.He can let himself not think about the freedom of traveling in the sea of ​​clouds, not to miss the superior life of the Deep Sea Dragon Palace, and not to regret the proud talent that can never be retrieved.

But... even if the old wounds that have been unable to heal over the years have become a habit, they are still torn apart by someone.

It's great that someone can hug oneself when it hurts.

Ji Chaoyun let himself be buried in Feng Qi's arms and took a deep breath. The gloom that lasted all night was finally wiped out.But Feng Qi still maintained the posture of hugging him, and didn't mean to let go.

Ji Chaoyun frowned suspiciously, he spoke softly, his voice a little dull because of his breathing difficulties: "Feng Qi."

"Ok?"

Ji Chaoyun thought about it, there is only one possibility that this person's mood is so abnormal.He broke free from Feng Qi's arms and looked up at him: "Is Tianshu Immortal Monarch finally determined to drive you out of the academy?"

Feng Qi: "..."

He let go of the person, his ears were a little red: "No, what are you thinking about."

"I still want to know what you are thinking." Ji Chaoyun took a half step back, his expression also a little uncomfortable, "Good job, what to do."

"..." Feng Qi coughed lightly, and said vaguely, "It's okay, see you work hard in the middle of the night and reward you."

Ji Chaoyun looked at him with difficulty.

The two stood in a stalemate for a while, and Ji Chaoyun said helplessly: "Forget it, I never understand what you are thinking, I will go back to the room first."

"You wait." Feng Qi said, "Come with me first."

Feng Qi took Ji Chaoyun to the door of his bedroom, entered the room, took a thin book from the desk, walked out, and handed it to him.

Ji Chaoyun asked: "What is this?"

"The solution to the trial in the secret realm."

Ji Chaoyun was ready to read the action.

"The Trial of the Secret Realm is the participation of the disciples of the two levels of Xuanhuang. When you enter the Secret Realm, you will enter the first level according to the pre-divided team and break the formation. The stone formation usually requires five to six people to break. You have now cooperated perfectly, but whether it is time or spiritual power loss, it will be twice as much as the others." Feng Qi pointed to the book in Ji Chaoyun's hand and said, "Unless I use my method."

Ji Zhaoyun's eyes closed: "Brother Song told you?"

Feng Qi didn't answer, and continued: "I used to break the formation alone, and it took even shorter time than an ordinary team, but this requires sufficient spiritual power. But the three of you..."

His voice stopped abruptly, and he couldn't say the words "lack of spiritual power".

Feng Qi turned his gaze away and said, "The three of you use this method to cooperate. If you don't make a mistake, you should be able to shorten the break time to the same as an ordinary team."

"After defeating the Stoneman Array, you will be teleported to a different place for the second level to punish evil."

Feng Qi said, "There are countless monsters scattered in the secret territory, and every kill of one is counted as one point. In addition, there are five mysterious areas in the secret territory. After the five fierce beasts have been slain, the Secret Realm assessment will end and the ranking will be based on the final score."

"...In addition to the method of cracking the stone formation, there is also a secret map, which shows all the puzzle formations, traps, demons and evils, as well as the possible haunts and solutions of five mysterious areas."

Ji Chaoyun was silent for a moment and asked, "When did you prepare this?"

Feng Qi didn't expect that he would ask this, and didn't even think about it, "I wrote it a long time ago. I wrote it for myself, can't it?"

With his cultivation and talent, he naturally doesn't need to write to himself, this lie is a bit ridiculously clumsy.

Feng Qi quickly realized this and said vaguely: "Anyway, take it back and write down a few key points so that you won't fall into the third class even if the final ranking is not high."

But Ji Chaoyun shook his head and handed back the book in his hand to Feng Qi: "I can't accept it."

"You--" Feng Qi instantly understood what he was thinking, and persuaded, "I know your concerns, but the secret realm assesses the teamwork and cultivation skills of the disciples. Many disciples will go to the high-level before the assessment. The disciple asked about the situation in the Secret Territory. This is not a violation."

"The solution of the stone formation can also be disclosed at will?" Ji Chaoyun asked.

Feng Qi was startled.

Ji Chaoyun said: "I understand your kindness, but I can't keep going on with others."

From leaving the Lingyuan Sea, to the three hundred years of tossing and turning in the mortal world, to turning into a demon, and flying through the catastrophe, he never survived on his own.

Feng Qi hates iron but steel: "Don't forget that if the quarterly exam fails, you will leave the college. Don't you always want to stay here?"

"I just believe that I can stay here by my own strength."

Ji Chaoyun touched the purse exuding heat through the clothes, and the corner of his mouth raised a shallow arc.He raised his head and looked over the roof, the sky was shining with stars, and the moon was radiant.

He knew that above this night sky, separated by a distance of ninety-nine heavens, was the realm of God.

"Feng Qi, what I want to do is not just stay." Ji Chaoyun said softly with the starlight reflected in the sky, "I used to think that as long as I stood and waited, I would definitely be able to wait for what I wanted and the person I wanted to see. . But then I realized that besides waiting, I had another choice, and that was to find it myself."

"I want to go further. If I can't handle it right now, how can I get what I want?"

"Even if you take a detour, don't regret it?"

Ji Chaoyun shook his head: "I only regretted it once in my life."

"what?"

Ji Chaoyun: "I didn't come here three hundred years ago."

Feng Qi looked at him steadily, and finally showed his first heartfelt smile tonight: "Okay, then I wish you what you want."

Five days later, the quarterly exams officially started.
