Encounter (5)
It’s Li Zhaoyue.
He didn't expect to meet her here.
In the blink of an eye, the black shadow disappeared without a trace. He could only suppress his desire to chase it and deal with the woman in front of him.

"The Feng Shui Academy has five main courtyards. The east one is the school, where classes are usually held. The west one is the Fuzhen, which contains a magic array set up by the dean. It simulates various natural terrains and is used for training. The south one is the garden, where the disciples can relax in their spare time. The north one is the living area, such as the cafeteria. You can go and try it if you have time."
After class, Li Zhaoyue took Xu Xing on a tour and introduced him to the place.
Xu Xing listened carefully and asked, "So will I live in Fengshuiyuan from now on? It seems that Lixiangyuan is only for kendo disciples to live there."
"Ah... this..." Li Zhaoyue paused and looked at him embarrassedly: "I really don't know this, but!"
She patted her chest and said generously, "I can tell Master about your experience. She loves talents very much and will definitely arrange for you to live there again!"
Xu Xing tilted his head, amused by her actions.
"What's wrong?" She was stunned and asked puzzled.
Xu Xing smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the garden in the distance in surprise: "Where is this place?"
It was obvious that everyone knew this was a garden, but Li Zhaoyue was not impatient at all. She pointed to the flower pots outside the garden and explained to him with a smile.
"But don't come here at night. Unusual things always happen in the Feng Shui Garden." She said seriously.
Xu Xing secretly took note of this and nodded with a smile.
The tour lasted for two hours and it was getting dark. Li Zhaoyue and Xu Xing sat in the pavilion to rest for a while.
In the distance, a moon-white figure slowly approached this side.
It’s Xie Feng.
Li Zhaoyue's eyes lit up the moment he saw Xie Feng.
"Afeng! Why are you here?" The girl stood up with surprise and ran to the man in a moment. The goose yellow skirt lifted up a gust of wind and flashed past Xu Xing's eyes.
He raised his eyes and looked at the two people.
One white and one yellow, they match very well.
He stood up, put on a smile, and walked to Li Zhaoyue.
"Ayue," he called her affectionately, which made Xie Feng frown.
"Why are you here?" Xie Feng glanced at him indifferently and said.
"Why can't I be here?" Xu Xing asked back.
The two exchanged glances and turned away in disgust. The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Li Zhaoyue also didn't understand why the two people who were talking to each other peacefully just now started to confront each other as soon as they met.
"You just came a few days ago, and you're already so familiar with A Yue?" Xie Feng asked with a curious tone, but there was a strong sarcasm in his eyes.
Yes, noble young men from famous and orthodox families must be proud, arrogant, and upright.
Xu Xing chuckled and spread his hands innocently. "Ayue has a good personality and likes to make friends. There's nothing wrong with me getting to know her. What do you mean by this, Senior Brother? Are you still doubting me?"
At this point, the suspicion in Xie Feng's eyes became even more obvious.
According to the results of the aptitude test, this person has above-average talent and his spiritual veins have just begun to open. He is indeed a promising prospect. However, with such strength, he cannot survive against spiritual beings, let alone someone who happened to run into Li Zhaoyue on his way. Yesterday in the Magic Court, this person came in last in the swordsmanship competition. His swordsmanship was disorganized and tinged with sinister intent. He really didn't seem like a good person.
Because of her special status, Li Zhaoyue is always surrounded by people with bad intentions, but she can't see it.
Xie Feng frowned, becoming increasingly disgusted with this young man of unknown origin, but due to his upbringing, he only had an unhappy expression and did not say any more unpleasant words.
As the sky grew darker, Xie Feng pulled Li Zhaoyue away, completely ignoring Xu Xing in front of him.
"It's too late today... I... I'll go first." Xie Feng walked too fast, and Li Zhaoyue could hardly keep up. She staggered back and waved to Xu Xing.
"See you tomorrow!"
Xu Xing had a faint smile on his face as he watched the two people disappear into the distance.
As night fell, the courtyard, once filled with flowers, was shrouded in a mysterious veil of darkness. A light mist with a cool feeling brushed across Xu Xing's exposed skin.
A light laugh passed by my ears.
Xu Xing smiled and turned around, just in time to see a woman in red clothes covered with bells turning towards him.
The woman had skin as white as cream, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, and was wearing bold and revealing clothes. She looked at him and smiled with her hands covering her mouth: "It seems that your plan has been completed very well. Do you want to join me..."
After saying that, he licked his lips with his tongue and looked at them ambiguously.
Xu Xing's eyes were calm. He didn't answer her, but instead asked, "Why is Senior Sister here in Yiziyuan?"
His senior sister was born with a charming temperament and was uninhibited. She hated being restricted the most and logically would not obey the master's instructions to complete the mission.
It's a rarity to see her here.
Seeing that she couldn't affect him, Song Shiyu simply put away her coquettish attitude, twirled the silver thread in her hand, and said with a half-smile: "So I just came here to play, but I saw my junior brother here, so I stayed a little longer."
Nonsense. Xu Xing sneered in his heart.
It was probably because his senior sister had run into some trouble. It would be strange for her to stay in such a boring place like Yiziyuan.
Sure enough, the next moment she put on a pitiful look again and said to Xu Xing: "I don't know what mission you are doing, why don't you take me with you."
Xu Xing smiled without saying anything, and watched her perform with his arms folded.
Little bastard.
Song Shiyu cursed inwardly, squeezed out a few tears, and pretended to be sad.
It was her fault for letting her guard down. When she was playing with a young prostitute in the brothel, she accidentally released her demonic energy and was caught by a passing disciple from the Yi Zi Yuan. It was unknown what method that person used, but she actually lost all her demonic powers.
Originally, a brothel was a place where both parties were willing, but the disciple asked her to give an explanation to the young waiter, and if she couldn't, he would hand her over to the demon clan for punishment.
What kind of reason could she give? Even if she told him, he wouldn't dare to listen.
So she was caught.
For so many days, she escaped from the Yiziyuan prison cell only by accumulating a little bit of demonic power every day.
This group of righteous disciples really like to meddle in other people's affairs.
While the performance was going on, a burst of brisk footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, and a goose-yellow figure rushed to Xu Xing and Song Shiyu like lightning, leaving them both stunned for a moment.
Li Zhaoyue was worried that Xu Xing didn't know the way, so he followed Xie Feng back and then secretly turned back.
Unexpectedly, I saw this scene.
"You are..." Li Zhaoyue stared at Song Shiyu motionlessly, struggling to digest her outfit, and said hesitantly.
Song Shiyu didn't say anything, she went to look at Xu Xing again.
I don’t know what was going on in her mind, but her expression became a little awkward.
Xu Xing saw that something was wrong and was about to speak when he saw Li Zhaoyue take off his outer robe and gently drape it over Song Shiyu's shoulders.
Song Shiyu was stunned.
"It's getting late, you'll be cold wearing so little." Li Zhaoyue gently straightened her collar and said with a smile.
A hint of surprise flashed across Song Shiyu's beautiful eyes, then was covered by sweetness.
"What a nice girl," she smiled.
Li Zhaoyue smiled embarrassedly, stood in front of her and looked at Xu Xing.
"Are you... in that kind of relationship?" After pondering for a long time, Li Zhaoyue finally spoke.
Admittedly, no matter who saw this scene, there would be some misunderstanding. A man and a woman were alone in the same place, especially on a dark and windy night, the woman was wearing revealing clothes, and the two were very close to each other.
Hearing this, Xu Xing's face turned a little ugly, and seeing this, Song Shiyu actually started crying.
"Girl, I feel like crying but I can't say it." Song Shiyu wiped his tears hypocritically and sobbed.
Li Zhaoyue looked at the tears streaming down her face, hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her.
A beautiful woman, draped in a robe, weeping bitterly, would surely move anyone. But Xu Xing stood in the distance, unmoved.
Li Zhaoyue's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, and finally looked at Song Shiyu with confusion.
"So, are you two in love?" she asked suddenly.
This sentence made the expressions of both of them freeze at the same time.
Song Shiyu bit her lip, mentally cursing Xu Xing for his coldness, selfishness, and cruelty. Xu Xing, on the other hand, smiled and looked at Li Zhaoyue tenderly, saying, "No, I just happened to meet this girl here. We don't know each other. Ah Yue is wronging me by saying that."
"But..." Li Zhaoyue was about to say that Song Shiyu didn't look like someone he didn't know, but was interrupted by a familiar voice behind him.
The voice was slightly angry, which made Li Zhaoyue feel a chill down his spine.
Under the hazy moonlight, Xie Feng, dressed in white, with slightly disheveled hair, hurried over with a sword in hand.
Song Shiyu was crying one second and was frightened the next.
The person who came was the Yiziyuan disciple who had put her in jail!
How could I meet him here?!
Xie Feng was far away and couldn't see her face clearly. He only knew that there were three people standing at the entrance of the garden, two women and one man, one of whom was Li Zhaoyue.
Just now he suddenly remembered that he had left something in Qingfengyuan and did not pick it up. As a result, when he returned, he found that Li Zhaoyue was missing. He was so anxious that he looked for her everywhere. After finally finding Li Zhaoyue, he discovered that she was with Xu Xing.
He took a deep breath and walked quickly towards this side.
Song Shiyu screamed in his heart that something was wrong, and in panic he could only cover his face with his robe.
Li Zhaoyue stepped forward, pulled Xie Feng's sleeve in a flattering manner, and smiled foolishly.
Xie Feng's anger disappeared immediately and he could only sigh helplessly.
Seeing that the two men didn't notice him, Song Shiyu decided to sneak away.
Xie Feng was a very powerful guy, so she retreated and ran away when she couldn't beat him.
But all this was seen by Xu Xing who was standing by. He raised his eyebrows at Song Shiyu and put on a sweet smile. Song Shiyu felt something was wrong.
This little bastard only laughs so happily when he's doing something bad.
As expected, Xu Xing forcibly interrupted the conversation between Xie Feng and Li Zhaoyue, pointed at Song Shiyu who was slowly moving beside him, and said with a smile: "She seems a little cold, Ah Yue, do you want to take a look at her?"
Only then did Xie Feng notice that there was another person next to him, and he looked in the direction Xu Xing pointed.
In the moonlight, the woman was wearing the school uniform of Yiziyuan. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she was shivering.
The figure looks somewhat familiar.
Xie Feng narrowed his eyes.
