Sounding Out Again (part 2)

But before he could take a few more glances at Misty Immortal Mansion, the voice of an acquaintance came from afar. (TL: guess Misty Sect and Misty Immortal Mansion are the same.)

“Eldest Senior Brother!”

Ji Fangxin, who was dressed in brocade clothes, had been waiting at the door for a long time. Seeing Qi Zhuoyu come back intact, he rushed down the mountain excitedly.

Seeing this, Feng Xuan quickly let go of his hand holding the Huaying sword.

Without his weight, Qi Zhuoyu felt his hand lightened, and the Huaying sword trembled again.

The palms were slightly numb.

He had been holding him all the way, but when he suddenly let go, he was a little unaccustomed.

After a few breaths, Ji Fangxin had already run in front of Qi Zhuoyu.

After parting in the cave that day, Ji Fangxin went out to look for him, but couldn’t find him anywhere, thus he had to go back to the Misty Sect by himself. As a result, he waited for a few more days, the final exam was already over yet he still hadn’t seen Qi Zhuoyu’s figure, therefore he became very anxious. Now seeing Qi Zhuoyu come back intact, he couldn’t help but get red-eyed.

Just when he was about to express his heartfelt feelings to Qi Zhuoyu, he caught a glimpse of Feng Xuan from the corner of his eye, his face changed immediately, and raised his voice, “Why are you still alive?!”

Feng Xuan was caught off guard. “……”

This person, how can he say something like that?

Just as he was about to refute, Feng Xuan saw Qi Zhuoyu standing beside him silently, sizing him up with indifferent eyes.

He thought in his heart that it was bad, and remembered that the original owner was a timid and cowardly character, therefore he swallowed back the words immediately.

Endure.

He said in a low voice, “I was lucky. I met the eldest senior brother on the way. He has a high level of cultivation. I followed him and returned to the sect safely.” Such a witty young man, “he” really deserves to be “me”. Invisible flattery is the deadliest .

Sure enough, when he looked at Qi Zhuoyu again, the other party really looked away.

After Ji Fangxin finished speaking, he also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.

It’s okay to bully and insult this little trash with other people behind his back, but this was the first time he accidentally said it in front of the eldest senior brother. Subconsciously, he glanced at Qi Zhuoyu, when he found that Qi Zhuoyu didn’t blame him, he felt relieved.

At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling a little bit proud.

Sure enough, even if he became the Taoist companion, this trash was still nothing in the eyes of the eldest senior brother.

Ji Fangxin’s mood improved a lot, and then he started to get down to business, and said to Qi Zhuoyu, “Eldest senior brother, the Master asked you to go to Qingyun Peak with me quickly.”

Qingyun Peak was the highest mountain in the Misty Sect.

It was also the first peak of Misty Sect, and the mountain where Qi Zhuoyu’s master, Su Qingyan lives.

Feng Xuan paused. The picture in front of him matched the one in the Book of Fate.

As soon as Qi Zhuoyu returned to Misty Immortal Mansion, Su Qingyan called him to the main peak. It was for no other reason that this time, a troublesome monster came in during the final exam of the Misty Immortal Mansion, and it was the one that attacked Qi Zhuoyu.

Many elite disciples in the sect were also attacked, and were unconscious in the main hall of Qingyun Peak at the moment. The only one who was still awake after dealing with the monster was Qi Zhuoyu. At this time, Su Qingyan summoned Qi Zhuoyu to discuss the matter of seizing it.

In short, it has nothing to do with me.

Finally being separated from the big devil, Feng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and started to leave.

In the end, things went against what he had expected, Qi Zhuoyu didn’t know why he was going mad, but he grabbed Feng Xuan who was about to leave with one hand.

Although the man smiled, the smile didn’t reach his eyes, “Xiao Qi, where are you going?”

It’s not a good sign that the big devil is smiling so sweetly.

Feng Xuan was a bit ashamed, he didn’t have the nerve to say that he was going home to sleep in front of everyone, thus he had to lie, “I want to use the spiritual herbs I picked during the final exam to exchange for something.”

This was the benefit after the Misty Sect Exam. 

Every disciple who had obtained pills, beast’s fur, rare flowers and herbs during the big exam could exchange things for spiritual weapons they would need for their own cultivation.

Qi Zhuoyu said slowly, “Really. I happen to want to exchange something too, why don’t I accompany you later, how about it?”

Not so good.

It’s a pity that Feng Xuan still couldn’t run away in the end, and went to Qingyun Peak with Qi Zhuoyu.

After all, it was mentioned in the Book of Fate that Qi Zhuoyu, in addition to being extremely unpredictable, also had an extremely morbid and paranoid personality. As long as it was what he wanted to do, no one in the world could successfully stop him.

Thus, when this big devil wanted to destroy the world later, even his beloved teacher, Su Qingyan, was powerless to stop him.

Not to mention, Feng Xuan, who was simply just a little cannon fodder first wife.

Fortunately, he went to Qingyun Peak by sword which saved him from the hardship of climbing a mountain again.

Feng Xuan’s cultivation was far below the level of being able to control a sword, therefore he rode with Qi Zhuoyu.

The Great Hall of Qingyun Peak stood majestically, and was enveloped by a huge transparent barrier, exuding a faint light of radiance. When jumping off the Huaying sword, Feng Xuan couldn’t help but take another look.

Ji Fangxin, who ate vinegar all the way, immediately sneered when he saw this, “Is this the first time you have come to Langhua Hall? You look like you have never seen the world before.”

It was true that it was his first time coming here, if the original host, the outer disciple, hadn’t been stained by Qi Zhuoyu light, he might not be able to come to Langhua Palace for the rest of his life–But have never seen the world? Forget it, the specifications of Langhua Palace are still far worse than his own Qifeng Palace.

Without him saying anything, Ji Fangxin took it as an acquiescence, and the other party couldn’t help showing off triumphantly, “Do you know what these glazed lights are? This is our Qingyun Peak’s most aggressive and lethal Evil Killing Array. No matter what kind of disguised demons and monsters, or people being possessed and taken by evil spirits, as long as they step into this formation, they will be beaten to death immediately!”

Evil Killing Array?

Feng Xuan’s heart sank suddenly, and his forward steps stopped.

Fuck.

Abandon! 

He already knew that the big devil was not doing human affairs, and the purpose of insisting on asking him to go up the mountain was to test whether it was only his temperament that had changed drastically in the past few days, or whether he was taken or robbed off of his body.

He had to say, Qi Zhuoyu’s mind was really deep and cautious, and he would not leave room for maneuver.

The Spiritual Qi of the Evil Killing Array in front of him surged, Feng Xuan knew that as long as he took a step forward, he might be beaten to death.

Just when he was hesitating, Qi Zhuoyu’s voice that was like sugar and honey rang in his ears like a warm spring breeze.

Although he was smiling, his peach-blossom eyes were eerie, and his pupils were bent into bridges, then he delicately said, “Xiao Qi, why don’t you go?”
