Xiao Yichen and Kongxu were from the same school. Although they were much older, Ji Jiuying should indeed call him her senior uncle.

"How about this, just call me Master Jiu'er to outsiders, that will save a lot of trouble."

Feng Che watched him openly taking advantage, but couldn't say anything. It was indeed a good method at the moment. Immortal Wood Peak was right next to Immortal Bamboo Peak, making it much more convenient to discuss things.

But it's up to Jiu'er to make the decision herself.

"Jiu'er, what do you think?"

Ji Jiuying nodded, "Then I will listen to my master's words."

After arranging everything, the three of them arrived at the bamboo forest. However, Ji Jiuying discovered that the bamboo forest was actually mysterious, and if no one led them in, they would not be able to come out.

"How's your investigation into the Soul-Locking Needle matter with Second Uncle going?" Ji Jiuying asked.

Feng Che frowned: "I have investigated everyone around the Kamakura God, including his disciples, but I still have nothing to show for it."

Ji Jiuying pondered for a moment, still unable to understand what the person lurking in the shadows was up to. That person was from the Heavenly Realm, yet knew her identity and the Feng family's situation…

Did he want to kill her or use her to take revenge on the Feng family?

"When Kamakura Shinto was alive, who did he associate with most closely?" Ji Jiuying asked.

“She is the Moon Goddess, one of the sect leaders of the Array Sect. She was originally Kamakura’s fiancée, but for some reason, Kamakura proposed to break off the engagement,” Xiao Yichen explained.

"Your second uncle and I have investigated this Yuehua countless times, but we still haven't found anything."

Ji Jiuying fell silent. The source of this was Kamakura, a man who had been dead for over a decade. Investigating him was no easy task!

"Alright, it's getting late. Why don't you go back and rest for a while, and report for duty tomorrow?"

Feng Che glanced at Ji Jiuying and asked.

Ji Jiuying nodded. She had a pretty good understanding of the situation. The sky outside had turned bright red, and it would probably get dark in less than an hour.

"good."

"Then I'll take you there first."

"No need, I can go by myself," Ji Jiuying said with a smile. She couldn't possibly get lost at such a short distance! Besides, she also wanted to enjoy the scenery of Blue Star Academy.

"Alright then."

Thinking of something, Ji Jiuying called out to Feng Che: "Second Uncle, this is Sister Feng's Heart-Protecting Qilin. It's not convenient for me to reveal it right now, so please help me return this Heart-Protecting Qilin to Sister Feng and thank her for me."

Feng Che's body stiffened slightly, but he still nodded and took the Heart-Protecting Qilin from Ji Jiuying's hand.

After parting ways with Feng Che and Xiao Yichen, Ji Jiuying strolled along in the direction Xiao Yichen had pointed out.

I discovered that Xianlin Peak and Xianzhu Peak are almost adjacent, but they are quite far from the other peaks. The mountain mist is so thick that it's hard to see clearly. There are cranes everywhere on the ground, as well as some unknown mythical beasts.

These spirit beasts weren't shy at all. Some ate in front of Ji Jiuying, while others curiously followed behind her. Not far away, there was a group of white deer. When Ji Jiuying passed by, they seemed to be whispering to each other.

At this moment, a courtyard on the mountain peak caught her attention. The pavilions and towers seemed to be above the clouds. This must be the residence of Xianlin Peak!

The courtyard is surrounded by willows, which sway in the wind.

Squeak—

Ji Jiuying gently pushed open the door, and the fragrance of flowers wafted towards her. Before her eyes, a wide and open space opened up, revealing a courtyard filled with artificial hills and strange rocks. Strolling among the green trees and flowers, she saw a small waterfall cascading down the artificial hill, its murmuring water echoing the sounds of insects and birds in the pear trees, creating a mesmerizing atmosphere.

Ji Jiuying arrived at the pavilion and took in the entire Blue Star. It was like being in a painting, with spring colors in full bloom, green willows shrouded in mist, and the night fog adding a touch of mystery to the scene, giving people the illusion of being in a fairyland.

Although no one lives on Xianlin Peak, it is very clean and tidy, showing that Xiao Yichen takes great care of every flower and tree here.

Ji Jiuying set up an array around the courtyard, releasing Hei Xiangling and the others. She then quickly began to meditate and cultivate. After today's battle with the Thunder Tiger, and with Ling Xiao absorbing its lightning attribute, her cultivation had already become somewhat weakened.

——

The sky had already darkened, but the academy remained bustling with activity.

Feng Che looked at the Heart-Protecting Qilin in his hand, a conflicted look flashing in his eyes. He, a man, might face criticism if he rashly went to find Feng Qingxue. He didn't mind himself, but he was mainly worried about Feng Qingxue…

Should he ask that girl from the Jiang family to send it over? Then he shook his head, thinking of something. This Heart-Protecting Lin was something passed down from the Feng family; how could he easily hand it over to someone else?

As usual, Feng Qingxue used the evening to cultivate. Just as she was about to undress and go to bed, a cold light flashed and a dart was firmly stuck in the door frame.

Feng Qingxue's face darkened, and she cautiously approached the doorway. There, she saw a small piece of paper tied to the dart. She frowned slightly, raised her hand, pulled the dart off, and slowly unfolded the paper.

He froze on the spot, his eyes fixed on the words on the note, his heart pounding, and a smile he couldn't suppress showing on his face.

'Maple Forest, Feng Che's Note'

Coming to her senses, Feng Qingxue glanced down at her clothes, quickly took out a light blue tassel dress from the wardrobe, changed into it, and hurriedly went out the door.

"Senior Sister, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

Just as he was leaving, he ran into Jiang Xin, who had just returned from her cultivation practice.

"So it's Junior Sister Jiang. I left something at the sect and need to go back," Feng Qingxue said with a smile.

"Senior Sister, it's so late, do you want me to go with you?"

Feng Qingxue felt a pang of panic, but her face remained calm, revealing nothing: "Junior sister, no need, I can go by myself."

"All right."

Jiang Xin didn't think much of it and went back.

Feng Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief and hurried towards the maple forest. All the way, she wondered why Second Master Feng had come to see her so late at night.

Since she came out of the Dragon Clan Secret Realm last time, her junior sisters told her that it was Second Master Feng who carried her out, and that she almost suffered a qi deviation at that time. It was only because Second Master Feng used his spiritual power to seal her meridians that she was spared the pain of qi deviation.

Later, she heard that he had come to Blue Star. She wanted to visit him several times to express her gratitude, but she always arrived at the wrong time. Every time she went to visit him, he was in the Dean's Immortal Bamboo Forest.

Soon, she reached the edge of the maple forest, but her pace slowed down. For some reason, she felt a little nervous.

Just as she was still hesitating, a dark green figure slowly walked towards her. Feng Qingxue's breath hitched, and she stared straight at the person.
