Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 114 Ji Xue's Fate
Early in the morning, Ji Xue got up early to take a shower and change clothes.

Today is obviously a very important day for her. She will enter another important stage in her life and go to Bailu Academy to study.

It is said that Bailu Academy has collected cultivation methods from all over Dali, and its resources are rich. Moreover, the teachers in the academy are knowledgeable and come from all over to teach.

She had been looking forward to this day for several years.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

And it went more smoothly than she had imagined.

"Sister, let's go." Ji Feng called out from outside, and Ji Xue walked out of the room, dressed simply and elegantly, without any makeup, but still as beautiful as ever, perfectly displaying the temperament of a daughter of a wealthy family.

Even Ji Feng, who was used to seeing it, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and praised: "Sister, you seem to be much better today."

Ji Xue glared at him and said, "After I enter the academy, you should take care of yourself and don't do anything wrong outside, otherwise I will ask the family to take you back to Jiangzhou City."

"Sister, are you still worried about me?" Ji Feng said with a smile, "Sister, you should concentrate on your cultivation after entering the academy. Don't be deceived by men. I know men's minds best. They are all bad. Don't delay your cultivation. I am still waiting for you to become a great practitioner."

"Will you also think about me?" Ji Xue glanced at Ji Feng.

"Of course, you are my real sister." Ji Feng smiled brightly. When Ji Xue became a great cultivator, he would be happy. Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted?

He himself has no hope, and his future in life depends on his sister.

"Sister, let's get in the carriage." Ji Feng said, Ji Xue nodded, went out and got on the carriage. The coachman Zhang Bo did not ride on the carriage, but led the horse and drove the carriage. This was the custom of Bailu Street.

Walking on Bailu Street, the carriage that Ji Xue was riding in attracted many people's attention. Yesterday's news had spread, and many people already knew of Ji Xue's existence.

By activating the formation, he became famous overnight.

When they arrived outside the Bailu Academy, there were quite a few people gathered there. The moment Ji Xue got off the carriage, many eyes were on her.

Ji Feng stopped outside, and Ji Xue entered the Bailu Academy alone. Yun Zhiqiu had been waiting there early in the morning, and when he saw Ji Xue coming, he hurried forward to greet her.

"Junior Sister Ji, congratulations in advance. From today on, we will study together." Yun Zhiqiu bowed with both hands.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yun." Ji Xue also returned the gift. Many people saw this scene and thought that Yun Zhiqiu was really serious and probably wanted to win the beauty.

"Junior Sister Ji, please." Yun Zhiqiu stretched out his hand to guide her. The two walked side by side into the academy. Ji Xue took a deep breath and looked up at the academy in front of her with a glorious history.

Finally arrived at the palace of my dreams.

The students passing by all looked at her, thinking what a great daughter of a noble family, with excellent looks and temperament, and amazing talent. From now on, the academy will have another influential figure.

Even occasionally, someone would take the initiative to greet Ji Xue, and Ji Xue would respond one by one.

Ji Xue always thought that she was not too vain. Born into a noble family, she was generous and confident, but she was not arrogant because of that.

But when I entered the academy at this moment, I was treated like a star by everyone and a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.

Perhaps, in Jiangzhou City before, she was born into a top family, so there was no environment that made her feel vain, and she was sought after in the holy land in her mind. This feeling was something she had never experienced before.

Yun Zhiqiu took Ji Xue to the reception area of ​​the academy. A young man from the academy saw Ji Xue and said, "Junior sister Ji, Mr. Qu has already told you to go find him. I'll take you there."

"Sure enough." Ji Xue thought to herself, the man from yesterday must be Mr. Qu.

"Congratulations, junior sister." Yun Zhiqiu congratulated her and Ji Xue nodded.

"Thank you, senior brother." Ji Xue looked at the young man, who led him into the academy and toward a courtyard on the left side of the academy. It was quiet and elegant here, with plum blossoms planted in the courtyard. A refined middle-aged man was reading a book. He was the gentleman from yesterday.

"Mr. Qu." The young man bowed and the middle-aged man looked up. Ji Xue also bowed and said, "Ji Xue greets you, sir."

Qu Qingfeng nodded slightly, looked at Ji Xue and said, "Come forward."

"Yes." Ji Xue walked forward, and Qu Qingfeng looked at her with gentle eyes that made people feel like spring breeze.

"The breeze is blowing and the white deer is singing. It seems like we are destined to be together." Qu Qingfeng smiled and asked, "Are you willing to become my disciple and practice?"

Ji Xue was stunned, her heart was slightly moved, but when her guess was confirmed, she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Don't be happy with material things." Ji Xue reminded herself secretly in her heart, bowed and said, "Ji Xue is willing to take you as my teacher."

"Congratulations, Junior Sister." The young man next to her also bowed and saluted, and Ji Xue returned the greeting.

"There are teachers who teach, but learning is self-made. Although I am your teacher, there must be a teacher for every three people. You should also learn from the people around you and make up for your own shortcomings." Qu Qingfeng said with a smile. "Thank you for your teaching, I will keep it in mind." Ji Xue responded. There are many geniuses in the academy, and the teacher is reminding herself that although she has accepted her as a disciple, she should not be complacent and should learn from the brothers and sisters in the academy.

"Yes." Qu Qingfeng nodded: "Your senior brother will take you to familiarize yourself with the academy. In addition, you don't have to live in the academy, you can just come and study."

Ji Xue was a little confused, but still nodded and agreed. After all, it was on Bailu Street and the distance was very close.

"Go ahead." Qu Qingfeng said, and Ji Xue said goodbye and left.

After she left, Qu Qingfeng stood up and walked to the plum tree. A figure appeared behind him, and a woman asked, "If it's not her, why did you accept her as your disciple?"

"Meeting is fate." Qu Qingfeng said, "The divine deer has not made any movement for many years. That young man must be an extraordinary person. However, since he does not want to enter the academy, don't bother him. Just make a good relationship with him."

"You are quite open-minded." the woman responded.

After Ji Xue left, the news that she had become Mr. Qu's disciple quickly spread throughout the academy, causing another stir. For a time, Ji Xue became a celebrity in the academy.

However, Ji Xue didn't know that all this originated from a connection she had made on the way here.

Li Fan naturally wouldn't know, but it didn't matter to him.

After Liu Ji got back the news, Li Fan asked, "How is it?"

"I have found out that Yunmeng Lake is very deep. According to legend, there are extremely powerful demons hiding in the depths of Yunmeng Lake. And because of the special nature of Yunmeng Lake, it is difficult for humans to set foot there. Since the founding of the Dali Dynasty, it is said that no one has ever entered the deepest part of Yunmeng Lake."

Liu Ji said: "In addition, there are many monsters on the edge of Yunmeng Lake. The deeper you go, the greater the possibility of encountering powerful monsters. This city built outside Yunmeng Lake has resisted many invasions of monsters from Yunmeng Lake, and many people have died in history."

"There was once an extremely serious demon disaster that broke out in Yunmengze. Led by a great demon, the entire city suffered a devastating disaster. However, practitioners from all sides of Dali came to support, and the imperial court also sent troops over, so the disaster was finally quelled. After that, some great human practitioners also rushed in to carry out a cleansing operation. After a long period of time, a balance gradually formed."

"Nowadays, the cultivators in Yunmeng City often go into Yunmeng Lake to hunt monsters. There are many monster hunting teams in the city, but in the process of hunting monsters, many people will die in Yunmeng Lake. Moreover, it is said that the death rate is not low."

After Liu Ji finished speaking, Li Fan seemed to be thinking about something.

Humans hunt demons, and demons are also hunting human practitioners in Yunmengze.

Maybe this is what is called balance.

The demons are all intelligent, and they will hunt humans as their prey just like human practitioners. After all, Yunmengze is also the territory of demons, and the demons have the advantage of geographical location.

"Liu Ji." Li Fan looked up and said, "Do you want to go to the academy to study for a while?"

Liu Ji glared at him, but saw that Li Fan was looking at her seriously, and it didn't seem like he was joking.

"Serious?" Liu Ji asked.

"Yeah." Li Fan nodded.

"What should I do in the academy?" Liu Ji asked.

"Learn etiquette." Li Fan said. Of course, what's more important is that as a demon, Liu Ji is easily rejected in the human world.

That day, he heard that a demon had enrolled in the academy to study, and he thought of Liu Ji. Although he might not be able to learn anything, and he did not expect to improve his strength much, but to a certain extent, he could provide Liu Ji with a platform, which was a recognition of her identity.

Bailu Academy is a holy place in Jiangzhou. If Liu Ji can enter to study there, then no one will be able to criticize her in the future.

Liu Ji looked at Li Fan with a strange expression. Perhaps she guessed what he was thinking. She smiled at him and said, "I don't care about your approval. It's OK as long as you don't despise me."

"Okay, let's talk about this later." Li Fan said, "We are not familiar with Yunmengze and need a guide. You can find a monster hunting team and we can join them and go to Yunmengze for a tour."

"I will do it now?"

"No rush, take a rest first. You should also practice well and break through to the fifth realm as soon as possible." Li Fan said. The humans in Dali are not so friendly to demons. Liu Ji is strong and safe.

"Young Master, you are becoming more and more considerate to me." Liu Ji was deeply moved. She leaned towards Li Fan, soft and weak, with a natural charm.

"hiss……"

"Snake demon, don't try this on me." Li Fan rolled his eyes at Liu Ji who was approaching him. A snake demon is destroying my Taoist heart?

"Heh..." Liu Ji looked at Li Fan with contempt. Don't you want to ride him?
No courage.
