C175 Return Together

“A few hundred years ago, the twenty-one sects of the twelve empires had a conflict of interest and started a large-scale fight. Many disciples died in that fight. Therefore, the twenty-one sects formed a blood feud and started a war. It greatly shattered the foundation of the sects.”

“At that time, a wise man realized that if this fight continued, all the sects would be destroyed. In order to preserve the foundation of the sects, he contacted all the sect masters and came up with a solution.”

“Every twenty years, a sect trial would be held. Every sect would select a group of disciples to participate. No matter what happened during the trial, the sects wouldn’t take revenge.”

Yun Yixuan sighed and continued, “His proposal was approved by all the sect masters. Therefore, this sect trial was passed down. Every twenty years, it would be held. There is still half a year left before it starts.”

Feng Yu’s eyes narrowed. It was called a sect trial, but it was actually a way to solve the grudges of the sects. This trial was like an Asura Arena. Most of the disciples of the sects would be killed in this trial.

“Brother, how was the Hao Yuan Academy in the previous sect trial?”

A helpless look appeared on Yun Yixuan’s handsome face. He sighed and said, “Except for the second uncle’s time, the Hao Yuan Academy was completely wiped out in the past ten or so trials.”

Feng Yu opened her eyes wide in disbelief. She said, “In the past, the disciples of the Hao Yuan Academy were so weak? They were completely wiped out?”

Yun Yixuan smiled bitterly and said, “Third sister, it is not that the disciples of the Hao Yuan Academy were weak, but the other sects were too strong. You will know when the time comes.”

Before he finished his words, he continued, “Forget it. Third sister, it is better if you don’t participate in the trials this time.”

Feng Yu didn’t comment. She changed her mind and asked, “Then my father’s statue was also made by the academy because he won the trials?”

Yun Yixuan had told her that it was because Yun Zhan Tian won the first place for the Hao Yuan Academy that the academy made a statue for him and placed it in the square of the academy to encourage the younger disciples.

Yun Yixuan nodded and said, “That’s right. The trials are held once every twenty years. It is a great honor to win the first place. The academy will also be crowned with the title of the first place.”

“Brother, when are you going to leave? I want to go back to the academy too,” Feng Yu asked.

“In the afternoon,” Yun Yixuan said, “I need to go back and ask my master if the rules of the trials have changed.”

As for the disciple competition, he was already a super disciple, and the academy didn’t prepare such a competition for super disciples.

“Alright then.” Feng Yu said, “I’ll go tell my master and then I’ll go back to the academy with you.”

Yun Yixuan nodded.

Feng Yu headed straight to the Master’s Mansion in the afternoon. As soon as she entered the Master’s Mansion, she met Chi Yan. Chi Yan greeted her respectfully, “Young Master.”

Feng Yu nodded and said, “Chi Yan, where is my master? Is he here?”

Chi Yan shook his head and said, “Young Master, Master went out with Young Master Ling today. You should go to the bedroom and rest. I’ll inform you when Master comes back.”

“Forget it.” Feng Yu said, “Chi Yan, please tell my master that a disciple competition will be held in seven days. Tomorrow is the registration day. I’ll go back to the academy with my brother this afternoon.”

Chi Yan thought for a while and said, “Young Master, please let Chi Xing and Chi Yue follow you. Otherwise, Master won’t be at ease.”

“Alright, then tell Chi Xing and Chi Yue to come find me.”

Feng Yu remembered her master’s cold face these days and nodded. If this was his intention, she would obediently follow him. Otherwise, she really couldn’t stand his coldness.

After saying that, Feng Yu turned around and left.

After returning to the General’s Mansion and saying goodbye to Yun Hong, Yun Hong’s eyes were red. He was especially reluctant to let Feng Yu and Yun Yixuan leave. Feng Yu couldn’t help but want to bring him to the Purple Bamboo Peak.

In any case, that Purple Bamboo Peak was Master’s private territory. Moreover, it was so big. No matter what, she didn’t care about staying there for a longer period of time. However, she couldn’t help but hold herself back.

Sigh, that was Master’s private territory. It wasn’t hers. Although Master was very good to Grandfather, who knew if he would mind that Grandfather stayed there.

Moreover, the Hao Yuan Academy didn’t allow outsiders to stay. Grandfather didn’t have a position in the academy, nor was he a disciple. Even if Master didn’t mind Grandfather, others might mind.

Because, although the Purple Bamboo Peak was Master’s private territory, it was still the academy’s territory.

In the afternoon, Yun Yixuan and Feng Yu walked out of the door. Then, they saw a luxurious purple-golden carriage. This carriage was so familiar. Even if they didn’t go into the depths of it, they could recognize that this was Master’s carriage.

Other than the unique style of the carriage, there were two handsome youths in red beside the carriage. After seeing Feng Yu, Chi Xing and Chi Yue respectfully greeted her as Young Master.

Feng Yu nodded and looked at the carriage in surprise. Master was here too? Or did he lend her the carriage?

Just when she was confused, she heard Chi Xing’s respectful voice, “Young Master, please get on the carriage.”

Feng Yu turned around and looked at him. She wanted to ask something, but her red lips moved, but she didn’t say a word. She nodded and got on the carriage. She opened the curtain and was instantly stunned.

On the soft couch in the carriage, there was a handsome man wearing a purple robe. He slightly opened his eyes and looked at her with a pair of eyes that were extremely charming.

Feng Yu lifted the curtain and put it down. She just stood there stiffly, as if she didn’t know how to react.

Yun Yixuan looked at Long Zixuan through the curtain. He nodded at him and said with a gentle smile, “General Long, are you going to the Hao Yuan Academy too?”

“Yes.” Long Zixuan’s voice was filled with evilness. Then, he continued, “Let’s go together. However, I need to ask Young Master Yun to ride on my horse. Please forgive me.”

He didn’t say too much. He just said a few simple words and rejected Yun Yixuan’s invitation to ride on his horse. He didn’t even give a reason.

Yun Yixuan’s handsome face didn’t change. He said with a gentle voice, “It doesn’t matter. I think riding on a horse is good too.”

The Snow Stepping Horse was a Rank Three spiritual beast. Although its cultivation wasn’t deep, its speed was extremely fast. If it was at full speed, although it wasn’t as fast as a cultivator at the Transformation Void Martial Stage, it wasn’t much different.

Furthermore, there was another benefit of this Snow Stepping Horse. The rider wouldn’t experience any bumps. It was the best horse in the world. Of course, its price was also extremely shocking.

A Snow Stepping Horse was worth around 100,000 gold coins. It was extremely hard to find an ordinary noble. Only Long Zixuan could give a Snow Stepping Horse to the Scarlet Shadow Guards.

Scarlet Moon led a Snow Stepping Horse to Yun Yixuan and said, “Young Master Yun, please.”

“Thank you.”

Yun Yixuan took the reins and his handsome body steadily landed on the back of the horse. He caressed the mane with his hands and said with a gentle and elegant voice, “It’s a good horse.”

Scarlet Star and Scarlet Moon also got on the horses. Long Zixuan’s charming eyes fell on Feng Yu who was still lifting the curtain and didn’t move. He said in a demonic voice, “What? Why aren’t you coming in?”

Feng Yu put down the curtain and walked over with small steps. She smiled and said, “Master, have you finished your business? When did you decide to go back to the academy?”

Long Zixuan raised his eyes and looked at her. He didn’t say anything. He closed his eyes and seemed to be resting.

Feng Yu curled her lips. Her master was becoming more and more strange recently.

The horse carriage moved very quickly. Feng Yu still couldn’t feel any bumps. She just stood behind the curtain and looked at the closed eyes of Long Zixuan. She didn’t go over.

"Come and sit down."

After an unknown amount of time, Long Zixuan suddenly opened his charming eyes and looked at Feng Yu. His voice was deep and low. Although it was not loud, Feng Yu could feel that there was a trace of displeasure in his voice.

Although it was very faint, she could still hear it.

She blinked her eyes and her eyes fell on the soft couch that was occupied by him. The scene of him taking advantage of her appeared in her mind again. She could not help but tremble.

[Master is calling her over at this time. Is he going to treat her as a free pillow again?]

However, could she refuse?

[Would Master fly her out of the carriage in anger?]

Feng Yu swallowed her saliva. Under Long Zixuan's terrifying eyes, she carefully walked over and then turned around to sit on the empty seat uneasily.

However, the truth proved that she was thinking too much.

Long Zixuan only glanced at her and closed his eyes again as if he had completely forgotten about her existence. Feng Yu secretly sighed in relief. Luckily, her master did not treat her legs as a pillow.

Otherwise, there was more than a hundred miles from the Imperial City to the Eastern Xuan Mountain. When she arrived, her legs would not just be numb and stiff. She was afraid that her legs would be broken.

"Why don't you wear the clothes I gave you?"

Just as Feng Yu was thinking about it, Long Zixuan's voice sounded in her ears. He said indifferently, "What? Do you not like it?"

Clothes…

Feng Yu opened her eyes and remembered that her master had given her a piece of clothing. However, she had forgotten about it after she put it away.

Huh? Didn’t she say she was going to study that piece of clothing? Why did she completely forget about it?

Sigh… Feng Yu sighed. Too many things had happened in the past two days. Plus, the change in Qing Guang’s space, she was caught off guard with every matter and her memory was almost in chaos.

However, she couldn’t say she didn’t like it at this moment. Feng Yu had a feeling that if she really said she didn’t like it, her master would immediately turn hostile.

Therefore, she shook her head and said, “No, Master. That piece of clothing you gave me is too beautiful. I really like it and I can’t bear to wear it, so I put it away.”

If she was willing, she could still lie beautifully.

Hearing this, Long Zixuan was really happy. Although the change wasn’t big and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, Feng Yu caught it very quickly.

She secretly felt relieved. Luckily, she didn’t say she had forgotten about it. Indeed, there were times when one couldn’t be completely honest.
