"Chai Jing?" Hearing this name, Yu Ling couldn't help but frown slightly. He is not the kind of person who only knows how to practice without paying attention to worldly affairs, so he actually knows something about the powerful people in the academy. Chai Jing is better than him

He is in the fifth year of high school. It is said that he reached the level of cultivation two years ago.

He has reached the peak of Tongxuan and is one of the most powerful geniuses of that generation. Many people even suspect that he has broken through to the level of Xuanzun. What is even more troublesome is that Chai Jing also cultivates soul power and is also in the late Tianling stage.

At this level, Yu Ling has no chance of defeating such an opponent.

"Anyway, that's all I have to say. Although there is a Avatar Spirit Beast who is willing to protect you, Chai Jing has always been a ruthless person, and he likes to play conspiracy tricks. Many people have been secretly tricked to death by him, but the elder still...

I can't find any evidence, and I don't want to suddenly find you disappearing without a trace one day." Lei Qun shrugged, said nothing more, and walked to the end of the path with the jade slip in his hands.

Zichenruo saw Yu Ling frowning slightly and couldn't help asking softly: "Is it troublesome?"

Seeing that her expression was calm, Yu Ling knew that Zichenruo must have never heard of Chai Jing's reputation. Presumably, someone like her who devoted herself to cultivation and was not tainted with right and wrong probably only knew a limited number of talented disciples.

"It's okay, I can handle it myself." Yu Ling didn't want her to worry in vain, so she calmly shook her head and said.

Zi Chenruo hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything more, and just said: "Then you go back and study the soul skills carefully, and I will continue to practice."

Yu Ling looked at the purple-clothed girl who climbed up to the second floor. She didn't quite understand why she was still practicing so hard since she had already entered the spiritual realm. It seemed like something was urging her, forcing her to get the most in the shortest time.

She has strong cultivation, and there seems to be too much helplessness and sadness hidden under her eyes that are as clear as a lake and untainted by dust.

At this moment, he seemed to have an impulse to understand the thoughts behind her melancholy, but as he listened to the ethereal and elegant piano music floating faintly, he faintly felt the seemingly far distance between them.

Distance, as if there is a boundary that always surrounds Zi Chenruo's heart, preventing anyone from inquiring or approaching.

So he understood that even if he asked now, he might not get any answer.

However, looking at the jade slip in his hand, he truly felt Zichenruo's care like a friend. In fact...she herself is also very contradictory. She doesn't want people to get close, but she is afraid of being alone. So.

, so we have to stay away from each other like this, and we are in a dilemma.

But after all, Yu Ling is not a sentimental person. Although he has an inexplicable affection for Zi Chenruo, he cannot put all his attention on her because he still has too many things to do.

After returning to the courtyard, Yu Ling practiced retracting and unfolding the six-square array for a while. After all his spiritual power was exhausted, his proficiency had been greatly improved. It only took two seconds to construct it. Although he was disappointed with the result.

Still not very satisfied.

Soon it was getting dark, and Yu Ling had just meditated to recover his spiritual power, when his scattered soul power sensed someone walking towards his courtyard door, and it was a relatively familiar scent.

Yu Ling walked to the door and saw that it was Fang Zijin who came to visit this night, but Senior Brother Fang no longer had that lazy and cynical air, and his sad face seemed to be thinking about something serious in life.

Philosophical questions.

"Is something wrong?" Yu Ling immediately thought of the woman in red who wanted to find Fang Zijin even though she was in poverty. Fang Zijin's current state must have something to do with her.

"Something serious has happened." Fang Zijin sighed deeply and painfully, as if he wanted to exhale all the breath in his lungs.

"That's also your big deal, what does it have to do with me?" Yu Ling said mercilessly as she had no respect for this obscure senior brother.

Fang Zijin said sadly: "You said that as a junior brother, why don't you care about my senior brother at all? Do you know how difficult it is for you to still see me alive? You are only a little bit away from attending my funeral.

Already."

"Oh." Yu Ling said, neither salty nor bland.

"Hey, shouldn't you show at least a little care at this time? Even if it's just a token gesture, that's fine."

"You will not live if you do your own evil."

Fang Zijin's eyes widened in shock: "You...where did you know that? Could it be that Junior Brother Wen revealed the inside story to you? No, he doesn't look like such a big-mouthed person..."

"I don't know, but generally speaking, it's just your fault that provokes others."

Only then did Fang Zijin realize that his image in the eyes of his junior brother had become like this, but he was still completely unable to refute, so he could only sigh and said: "Oh, it's a long story, and I had no choice but to do it.

…”

"Just tell me if it's relevant to me, otherwise I won't be interested in hearing your story." Yu Ling took the jade that Zi Chenruo gave him and planned to continue reading.

Fang Zijin rolled his eyes helplessly and hurriedly said: "Do you remember what I told you last year? Let's form a team in advance for the Xuemu trip in November this year."

"There are so many holy soul masters in the academy, why are they looking for me?" Yu Ling raised her head and glanced at him suspiciously.

"Because your soul power is very high." Fang Zijin said with a sincere expression of "I trust you very much".

"Because no one wants to team up with you." Yu Ling sneered at his reason.

"Oh, why did you tell the truth again... Bah, I didn't mean that. The academy restricts people with high cultivation levels from grouping together, so my teammates must be five years or less below me. Among these juniors, I am still the most familiar with you.

Ah, who am I looking for if not you?" Fang Zijin tried hard to explain.

"If you don't tell the truth, I will close the door and see you off." Yu Ling had already put her hand on the edge of the wooden door.

Fang Zijin shamelessly and quickly took a step forward, quite consciously helped Yu Ling close the door, coughed lightly and said: "Well, that, maybe, maybe, probably, should... It's a bit of a disadvantage to team up with me, because

The academy has made special restrictions on the six of us who are in the Huazun realm. Others can form a team of ten people. With me, the upper limit is reduced to three people. However, you and one other person can still only get one-tenth of the loot.

…”

"What about the remaining seven tenths?"

"Don't look at me like that," Fang Zijin gritted his teeth and said, "The remaining seven-tenths were handed over to the academy for free. Those old immortals claimed that my achievements today were all due to the training of the academy.

Therefore, I should contribute my own strength to the academy’s treasure collection!”

"Oh, that's no wonder." Yu Ling nodded to express understanding. The academy has many activities in November. The Snow Dusk Journey is specially created for soul masters, so the spiritual power will be completely suppressed in the training place.

He can use his soul power to cultivate, and in everyone's perception, Fang Zijin's soul power realm is only the peak of Tianling. However, because of his special status, the number of people in the team has been greatly reduced, and many people are not willing to go with him.

It's also normal.

"However, you got a Tianxin Stone last time. You should have broken through to the Spiritual Realm, right?" Yu Ling suddenly remembered something.

"It can't be that easy. Do you know how difficult it is for a heavenly spirit to break through to a divided spirit? And if someone accidentally splits his personality, he won't even cry. At least one of ten Tongxuan peak cultivators can do it.

He has broken through to the Transformation Realm, but not one of the fifty peak Heavenly Spirit Soul Masters may be able to advance to the Split Spirit Realm, okay?" Fang Zijin said angrily.

"Then what have you been doing these past few months?"

Fang Zijin scratched his hair in distress and said: "I don't understand. I have reached the realm of Huazun without much effort in spiritual cultivation. In the past few months, I have even broken through to the late stage of Huazun. How can I reach this level of spiritual power?"

It’s so difficult, and I’m still in the transitional period, which is equivalent to Xuanzun’s level.”

Yu Ling was speechless for a while. Senior Brother Fang really didn't know what it meant to be low-key. If the first half of his words were spread, he would probably be beaten, right?

"So, for the sake of my honesty, tell me honestly, will you go with me or not?" Fang Zijin suddenly realized that the business had not been settled yet, so he hurriedly asked. (To be continued.
