Gu Qingfeng tried his best not to look at Wen Longting, remaining indifferent as if he didn't know her. The fear and anxiety he felt when he saw Wen Longting in imminent danger in the cave, memories he had suppressed deep in his heart, welled up again.
He realized that his own foolishness had led to everything that followed. He also questioned his feelings for Wen Longting, wondering if it was because she resembled Hua Wuyou or because he had truly fallen for her.
Just then, Wen Longting looked over, and Hua Wuyou quickly waved her hand. Because of the distance, Wen Longting had no idea what she was talking about, but just smiled and nodded.
"Xiaoting, you two know each other?"
"She is Hua Wuyou, Gu Qingfeng's fiancée. I met her once in Kyoto."
Wen Longting remained expressionless and said indifferently.
At this moment, Ji Jiuying consciously examined the injuries on Qingling's face, and self-blame spread throughout her body.
As he withdrew from consciousness, he caught a glimpse of Gu Qingfeng and Hua Wuyou out of the corner of his eye, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Perhaps it was because Ji Jiuying's expression was too obvious, but when Gu Qingfeng met her clear eyes, he found only endless indifference and ruthlessness.
Gu Qingfeng nodded apologetically. He naturally knew why Ji Jiuying reacted this way. He had promised her that he would not appear in Xiaoting's sight again, but this time he could not resist Hua Wuyou's insistence and came along to take a look.
"Little Phoenix, you and Hei Xiangling wait for me here. I'll be right back."
"Yes, Mother!"
After Ji Jiuying finished speaking, she flashed to Gu Qingfeng and Hua Wuyou's side.
"Little Ninth Girl".
"Fairy Sister." Hua Wuyou stared wide-eyed in disbelief. She hadn't had a chance to properly thank her after their last parting, and then she disappeared. She never expected that Fairy Sister would be here.
Ji Jiuying watched the two holding hands, and unconsciously glanced in Wen Longting's direction. She saw that Wen Longting's eyes seemed to be drifting to the side, but there was not much expression on her face, which even Ji Jiuying could not understand.
"You two got married?"
Although their relationship was already a done deal, Hua Wuyou's face instantly turned bright red when Ji Jiuying said it so bluntly. "Fairy sister, not yet."
"However, Qingfeng and I plan to get married in the far north capital in the middle of next month. Fairy sister, you must come!"
Hua Wuyou looked at Ji Jiu expectantly. Ji Jiu's expression flickered slightly. "Mid-next month?"
To be honest, she didn't know if she could come, and probably wouldn't. "We'll see."
"good."
“Gu Qingfeng, the academy is too crowded with people now. It’s not suitable for Wuyou to stay here, lest she get hurt. If there’s nothing else, you should leave as soon as possible.” Ji Jiuying looked at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng's face twitched slightly. "Wuyou, Miss Jiu is right. Your body has just recovered, and the power of these strong individuals might affect you."
Hua Wuyou nodded reluctantly upon hearing this.
At that moment, the earth shook violently, producing a deafening rumble.
This is!
Yu Bugui and Jin Chenzi exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with shock. Gong Mingyue also looked towards the forbidden area; someone had trespassed!
Yue Zhu also noticed something was wrong, and his expression narrowed slightly. After the two created distance with a single strike, Yue Zhu disappeared from the spot. Gong Mingyue looked in the direction he disappeared, his heart sank, and he followed.
Several figures vanished from their spot, and the oppressive feeling in the air disappeared as well. Everyone stared blankly in the direction where the figures had disappeared. Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "The artifact has appeared! Charge!"
In an instant, the people in the academy were in an uproar. It was a divine artifact! Who wouldn't want it?
Faced with the allure of the divine artifact, even mountains of knives and seas of fire could not stop them.
How could Shen Qingqiu and the others stop them? They could only follow behind.
Forbidden land.
Yu Bugui suddenly appeared and his fierce moves struck Feng Luo and Feng Yan directly.
Bang.
The forces collided, and the aftershocks spread outwards. Those who arrived later had no time to dodge and fell to the ground unconscious.
More and more people gathered on the forbidden ground, standing outside the barrier. Looking at the circular grassland plain, they couldn't help but wonder, where is this divine artifact?
There was only an empty plain before them; not a single divine artifact, or even a common spiritual artifact, could be seen.
Even the students of Star Academy looked around curiously. If it weren't for this incident, they would never have had the chance to come to this forbidden area of Star Academy.
"Feng Luo, you've gone too far!"
Yu Bugui coldly rebuked.
"Hehehe, Dean Yu, it's only natural to share good things with everyone, especially a magical artifact that you haven't yet recognized, right?"
Feng Luo scoffed.
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited, their eyes gleaming with greed, as if there really was a divine artifact here.
"That's right, Dean Yu, since you can't gain the artifact's approval, don't force yourself to keep it..."
"That's right, let everyone give it a try..."
The noise from the crowd grew louder and louder, and Yu Bugui was instantly enraged. He was not strong enough to use time stop at his current level, otherwise he would not be in such a passive position.
The moon candle hung in mid-air, its dark eyes fixed on the middle of the plain, a slight smile playing on its lips. So that's how it is... No wonder these old men guard this place.
It's true that there's a divine artifact, but there's a huge thing underneath... But Yue Zhu is no saint; a wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Ah Yue, how are you?"
Ji Jiuying asked worriedly. He had just sealed the demon and was now fighting with Yuezhu. She was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Jiu'er, it's alright," Gong Mingyue said. "It's just... with that guy here, this barrier is utterly useless to him. The demons below are already dormant. If he shakes the divine artifact, the demons below might awaken again..."
"It will be difficult to seal it again, and Qingling will also be affected."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying frowned slightly. Looking at her master's helpless expression, she wondered if there was no other way.
“Ah Yue, if this moon candle is not removed, it will surely become a scourge in the future.”
"I'm here to tell you this. The only solution now is for me to distract Moon Candle, and you can handle the rogue cultivators."
Gong Mingyue gazed at Ji Jiuying with deep eyes. He could have been cold-blooded and ruthless, but with her, his world was filled with many emotions. For example, he had never thought that he would like someone so much, nor had he ever thought that he would be so afraid of losing someone.
It's no longer just about gloom and killing.
"Ah Yue, I'll go with you."
Ji Jiuying met his eyes and said seriously.
“Jiu’er, my battle with him is not suitable for you. Come find me in the Heavenly Domain Continent when you break through to the Spirit Venerable realm.” Gong Mingyue placed the bottle in his hand in Ji Jiuying’s hand. “The Supreme Breakthrough Pill inside can help you break through smoothly. Jiu’er, I will wait for you in the Nine Heavens Divine Realm.”
