Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 139 Bad Taste

After practicing in the early morning of the second day, Li Fan went to Bailu Academy as planned.

Walking on Bailu Street, many people were talking about the battle that took place on Bailu Street last night.

"Yesterday, demons entered Bailu Street and headed for where Ji Feng lived. These demons are really despicable. They lost on the battlefield and resorted to such despicable means."

"Why did I hear that the mysterious man showed up, and it wasn't Monsoon."

"It's indeed not Ji Feng. I saw the battle yesterday. The mysterious man was wearing a mask and a black cloak. He killed the demon with one sword. He was truly an unrivaled warrior."

"I guess he is training in Bailu Academy."

Li Fan heard the noises coming one after another around him. Overnight, the news that the mysterious man was not Ji Feng had spread.

But this was also part of his plan. Before leaving, he helped Ji Feng get rid of the trouble so that Ji Feng would not be implicated after he left.

When he arrived at Bailu Academy, someone there recognized Li Fan and so did not stop him.

After Li Fan entered the academy, he came to the courtyard where Qu Qingfeng was.

"The plum blossoms were in full bloom last night, originally to welcome guests." Qu Qingfeng stood under the plum tree and whispered, "Please come in."

Li Fan walked into the courtyard, bowed and said, "Meet Mr. Qu."

"But are you looking for Liu Ji?" Qu Qingfeng asked with a smile. Not far behind him, he saw Liu Ji sitting in front of a stone table reading quietly. She put down the book when she saw Li Fan coming and looked at Li Fan.

"Yes." Li Fan nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that the teacher has taught well. This snake demon is reading so quietly."

Liu Ji rolled her weird eyes and glared at him.

"It is Liu Ji, a young man who is teachable." Qu Qingfeng said with a smile: "Whether it is cultivation or learning, it all depends on self-realization."

Li Fan walked forward, looked at Liu Ji and said, "I am planning to leave for a while. Why don't you stay here to study with Mr. Qu? I will write to you later to let you know where you are."

"Master, are you trying to abandon me?" Liu Ji felt a little uneasy. Although she had a smile on her face, her heart was beating slightly.

She didn't know when it started, but she needed to be with Li Fan to feel safe.

Perhaps it was because demons existed among humans, and she had no sense of belonging. When she was with Li Fan, although her cultivation was stronger than Li Fan, at least she was able to integrate into this world.

"It's good for you to stay here and study." Li Fan said.

"No." Liu Ji flatly refused. Although she also accepted this kind of life and felt it was pretty good, that was because Li Fan was not far away.

If Li Fan never comes back...

She suddenly felt inexplicably lonely.

At some point, her human emotions gradually became richer.

Qu Qingfeng on the side smiled. Humans have rich emotions and the demons have lost their wildness, which means that Liu Ji has gradually integrated into the human world.

Li Fan had a headache. Liu Ji hadn't studied for long. Was she going to follow him again?

"Brother Yang, I heard you came to the academy." A voice came from outside, and Huang Xiong and Xiao Kui came over here. After seeing Qu Qingfeng, they bowed and said, "Mr. Qu."

Qu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't bother with me."

Huang Xiong looked towards Li Fan, only to hear Li Fan say, "Brother Huang, I'm here to say goodbye to you. I'm leaving Yunmeng City."

"So fast?" Huang Xiong was a little surprised, but thinking about what happened in the past few days, he nodded. It would be better to leave before anyone knew that he was a mysterious man.

"When do we set off?" Huang Xiong asked.

"Since the decision has been made, there is no need to delay and we will set off now," Li Fan replied.

Huang Xiong pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Yang, I'll take you there."

"Okay." Li Fan nodded, looked at Qu Qingfeng and said, "Mr. Qu, thank you for your care."

As he said this, he bowed slightly to Qu Qingfeng.

"Bailu Academy welcomes you at any time." Qu Qingfeng smiled and nodded. He would not force Li Fan to stay or leave, and would just let fate decide.

"Mr. Qu, thank you for your guidance these days." Liu Ji also stood up and saluted. Li Fan turned around and looked at her helplessly. It seemed that she did not intend to stay.

"Okay." Li Fan said without further ado: "I'll go say goodbye to Lu Yuan."

Then he bowed to Qu Qingfeng and left the yard.

Li Fan was walking in the Bailu Academy, and saw people coming outside the academy. When they saw Li Fan, they were stunned and shouted, "Yang Qingshan."

Li Fan looked at them, only to see something strange in their eyes.

"Yang Qingshan." Someone else came outside and stopped when he saw Li Fan. This made Li Fan feel something was unusual.

what happened?

"What advice do you have?" Li Fan asked.

"I just came back from outside. There is a rumor in Yunmeng City that the mysterious practitioner who fought the demons that day was not Ji Feng, but Yang Qingshan." A student from the academy said, causing Li Fan's expression to stiffen and frown.

Who released the news?

"Brother Yang, this matter definitely did not come from the academy. You might as well go outside and find out. The news came from outside Bailu Street and fermented in Yunmeng City. It won't be long before the whole Yunmeng City will know about it."

"Thank you." Li Fan responded.

It seems that there is no need to leave.

His identity had not been revealed before, so he could leave quietly and leave before the demons discovered him.

But now, news has spread from outside that it would be dangerous for him to leave now.

Bailu Street is safer.

"Yang Qingshan is the mysterious practitioner?" More and more people gathered around. After hearing the news, the people in the academy all came over here and looked at Li Fan.

The mysterious monk that day shocked them greatly. Later in the battle, they, who claimed to be geniuses of the academy, were still hesitant and did not dare to fight. However, the mysterious monk killed a monster with one sword.

"Are the rumors outside true?" someone asked Li Fan.

"Who is spreading rumors?" At this time, a figure appeared, and it was none other than the old man from that day.

He has sternly warned the students of Bailu Academy not to discuss the matter.

"Sir, it's not us who spread the rumor, it came from Yunmeng City."

Someone said, his eyes still on Li Fan.

Was it him? Li Fan looked at the old man and bowed, "Thank you for what you have done, sir."

After that, he looked at everyone and said, "It is indeed me."

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide any longer.

It was rumored that it was Ji Feng, so the demon had already come to him. Now, even if he doesn't admit it, the demon will not let him go.

Admit it or not, the result is the same.

When people heard Li Fan's words, there was an uproar around them, and the people who practiced in Bailu Academy looked at him with a different look.

"I will investigate this matter. If I know who leaked the news, I will not let him go." The old man looked grim. Li Fan was considered a hero in Yunmeng City, but there were people who wanted to harm him.

Such despicable behavior must not be let off no matter who it is.

"Yang Qingshan."

Ji Xue walked over from the crowd and looked at Li Fan with complicated eyes.

Although she had already guessed that it was him, Li Fan's personal admission still gave her a sense of unreality.

"Thank you." Ji Xue bowed to Li Fan.

"Miss Ji, you're welcome." Li Fan responded politely.

Feeling Li Fan's polite attitude, Ji Xue felt particularly disappointed.

At this time, many people made way for a graceful figure, who walked towards Yang Qingshan. It was Lu Yuan.

"If everyone in Yunmeng City knows your identity, the demons in Yunmengze must also know it. Otherwise, just stay in the academy." Lu Yuan said softly, a little worried about Li Fan's safety.

This time he left the mountain and came here, he must be going out to gain experience alone, otherwise there would be no need to use a pseudonym.

"There is a formation on Bailu Street. When a top-level monster enters Bailu Street, the formation will change. It should be fine." Li Fan responded with a smile. Seeing the attitudes of the two people, the people around them had different expressions.

It seems that Lu Yuan already knew it.

The two seem to be very familiar with each other.

In the battle with Yunmengze that day, Lu Yuan, Huang Xiong and the mysterious man became famous in one battle. Unexpectedly, the three of them are still friends.

"No." Lu Yuan looked at Li Fan and responded.

"Hmm?" Li Fan looked at her, and Ji Xue and the people around them also looked at her.

Lu Yuan, making a decision for Li Fan?

Has their relationship reached this point?

Now, many young talents in Bailu Academy are interested in Lu Yuan. However, perhaps only a gifted person like Li Fan is worthy of her.

"After all, there is still some distance. If the big monster locks on your position in advance, it might be too late." Lu Yuan insisted.

Li Fan's life is very important.

He is not only 'Yang Qingshan', he also represents the Sword of Lishan.

Therefore, nothing can happen to Li Fan.

"What Lu Yuan said is correct. The Peacock Demon King was extremely fast that day. If he locked onto your position, he could have captured you in a very short time." The old man said, "Just follow Lu Yuan's advice and stay in the academy for now."

Li Fan looked at the old man, then at Lu Yuan, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

As he said this, he looked at the old man and said, "Then I'm sorry to bother the academy and the master."

"Young man, you are practicing in the academy, and the students can also ask you for advice. It is a good thing for the academy. Why would we disturb you? Although the big monster in Yunmengze is powerful, it will never dare to break into the academy." said the old man.

"There is an empty house in my yard, so you can rest there." Qu Qingfeng walked forward and said.

"Thank you, sir." Li Fan responded.

Everyone in Bailu Academy was a little envious. A cultivator from outside the academy was treated like a star when he came to Bailu Academy. Lu Yuan wanted to get close to him, and the academy teacher took the initiative to invite him.

If Li Fan wanted to become a disciple, I'm afraid the teachers in the academy would try to snatch him away.

"I'll go back and pack my things and come back." Li Fan said and walked out.

"I'll go with you." Lu Yuan followed and the two of them walked together.

The disciples of Bailu Academy made way for the two and watched them walk out of the academy side by side, unable to help but reveal envy.

As they walked out of the academy, many people looked at them.

"It's Lu Yuan."

"Yang Qingshan, the mysterious practitioner."

"Lu Yuan is traveling with him. It seems that the rumors are true this time."

The crowd on Bailu Street was talking a lot, but no one disturbed Li Fan. Everyone looked at him with respect.

It is indeed the romance of youth.

Li Fan returned to the house where he lived and said to Lu Yuan, "Is there anything you want to say?"

"How do you know?" Lu Yuan looked at Li Fan curiously.

Li Fan smiled but said nothing, but he could still see something about Lu Yuan's personality.

Lu Yuan looked solemn and asked, "Can you contact Li Shan?"

"Yes." Li Fan nodded.

"Do you want to ask someone to come from Lishan?" Lu Yuan looked at him and said.

"No need. The mountain is high and the road is long. I don't know when I will be able to get back from the mountain. If there is really danger, I still have some ability to protect myself." Li Fan responded.

When Lu Yuan heard Li Fan's words, he knew that Li Shan had left a trump card on him, and he felt more at ease.

"Yang Qingshan is probably going to become famous now. What if he knew that you were using his name?" Lu Yuan smiled.

"If he knew that Lu Yuan was smiling at 'Yang Qingshan', he would definitely be very happy." Li Fan responded.

"Is this your bad taste?" Lu Yuan's eyebrows were like crescent moons, and she glared at him with her beautiful eyes. She was completely different from her usual image.
