Chapter 41 Jealous
"Senior Sister Third Sister?"
"Let's just do this today. If you have any questions, I'll answer it in two days." Yu Lian turned around and looked at Ning Que, who was confused, nodded slightly, and walked out of the cave.
The third senior sister has always been quiet and peaceful, not moved by external things, but now she has left in a hurry with some restlessness.
Ning Que thought something big happened to the academy, so he got up and chased out of the cliff cave, but blocked it by an invisible air wall at the entrance of the cave. He quickly waved his hand to signal Sangsang to come over, pointing to the direction blocked by the rocks at the entrance of the cave, and said, "Sangsang, do you see that there are strange phenomena in the sky over the academy?"
Sangsang walked from behind the house with a bundle of firewood in his arms and felt a little confused when he heard Ning Que's orders, but he obediently put down the firewood in his arms and ran to the mountain road on the cliff, tiptoed, leaned over and looked around for a long time.
"Young Master, there's nothing?" Sangsang turned around and looked at Ning Que and complained, "But there seemed to be dark clouds coming to the north. It was probably going to rain again. It seemed that the clothes that were dried were to be put in the house in advance today."
Ning Que's mouth twitched and he said helplessly, "I'm not asking this."
"Oh~ Then it's gone." Sangsang responded, picked up the firewood on the ground again, and made fire to make rice on the earth stove next to the house.
As the noodle slices were put into the pot, the rising white air lingered the fragrance of the sour and sour noodles soup drifted into the cliff cave.
Ning Que looked at Sangsang who was busy by the stove and stopped talking, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Forget it, I can't help much, anyway, I'm stuck in the Yadong now. I think there's a teacher, senior brother, and Mr. Zhou and others here, what can happen if I can do it?"
Boom ~
A muffled thunder shook for more than ten miles, and violent lightning poured down, turning into a light blue power grid that covered the entire Yanming Lake.
Ye Su has never fought with people in the sixth realm, but he can feel that although Zhou Ji is strong, his cultivation is only unfathomable and he has never reached the realm of nowhere.
With a wave of his hand, the wooden sword soared into the sky, and with him as the center, he covered the entire grid into the lake. Zhou Ji, who had disappeared, finally appeared on the grid. However, when these nearly heavenly punishment lightning touched Zhou Ji, it seemed to have encountered a natural enemy and radiated smoke and dust.
Ye Su's eyes were extremely solemn. The person in front of him seemed to have controlled the law of lightning. In a blink of an eye, all the lightning lights he summoned disappeared, and even the lake water that had just sucked into the sky was completely exhausted, leaving only a beautiful wind and sunny sky.
"You have also practiced the thunder method?" Ye Su said in a deep voice.
Zhou Ji nodded slightly and said with a gesture, "It's probably billions of times earlier than you."
Ye Su looked at Zhou Ji who was floating in the air in front of him, with a look of indifferent expression and a sign of thunder and lightning hidden in his eyes!
In the clear sky, another lightning bolt fell. The wooden sword in front of Ye Su seemed to be hit by lightning, with a hint of shinyness, carrying the momentum of wind and thunder, like light and lightning, and then flew towards Zhou Ji.
This time, Zhou Ji did not dodge with shrinking ground.
Ye Su knew that his thunder method cultivation was far superior to his, but he still insisted on thunder method. For Zhou Ji, even if he did not move the two swords, he was not afraid at all.
Bang ~
The Zhuxian imitation sword and the wooden sword finally had a real collision within the level visible to the naked eye.
Ye Hongyu, who was watching the battle by Yanming Lake, suddenly heard the thunder sound. The thunder sound did not shake the world and was a little low. A trembling feeling arose in her heart, as if resonating with her heart. For a moment, the qi and blood surged, and she forced the true qi to suppress her chest before she could suppress her depression.
Half a step back, just in the thought of Ye Hongyu, the tip of the Mu Jian and the tip of the Zhu Xian Imitation Sword had fought countless times. The sound of wind and thunder was stirring. The two of them were so fast that they almost disappeared from their sight. In an instant, they only saw the waves on the lake surface turbulent, and the curled yellow lotus leaves broke one after another, as if they were crushed by some indescribable force.
A trace of worry flashed in Ye Hongyu's eyes. She was worried about her brother and Zhou Ji. Until a neon light splashed with water vapor, the two figures separated by mistake, and a stream of light flew away from the lake and returned to the sheath with a bang.
Ye Hongyu's heart, which was hanging in his throat, slowly lowered.
"I lost."
Ye Su looked at Zhou Ji with a complicated expression, and his originally calm and indifferent eyes were a little dimmer than before.
In the entire Yanming Lake, the last lotus leaf shattered, Ye Su's body sank, and Zhou Ji, who was swept by his side, held his shoulders and flew back to the shore.
"Brother, you're not injured, are you?"
Ye Su closed his eyes slightly and shook his head, "I'm fine."
Ye Hongyu's face was still a little anxious, and Zhou Ji said helplessly, "He is really okay. We just discussed each other's cultivation of thunder magic, and did not hurt him."
Ye Su calmed down his breath, opened his eyes slowly, and sighed, "Thank you, sir, for showing mercy."
Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows at Ye Hongyu and signaled that he was right?
"It's just a thunder method, and it's not a life-and-death enemy, so why not show mercy or mercy?" Zhou Ji looked at Ye Su and smiled, "The winner has been decided. Are you still planning to take her away?"
As soon as Ye Hongyu's heart fell to the ground, he heard Zhou Ji mention him and quickly said, "I won't leave."
Ye Su frowned slightly, looked at Ye Hongyu deeply, and his eyes flew over the Zhuxian imitation sword in her hand, then moved to Zhou Ji, and stretched out, "Xiling Judgment Secretariat and Tianyu Priest have all arrived in the capital. If you don't follow me, when they take back the daughter of light, the person who comes to find you will not be me."
"Have you made something wrong?" Zhou Ji smiled, "It's not that Ye Hongyu didn't leave, but that I was detained here. The head of Xiling handed over the task of taking Sangsang away to Ye Hongyu. As long as she still wanted to take Sangsang to Xiling, I wouldn't let her go."
Ye Su said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid of being an enemy of Xiling?"
Zhou Ji sighed, "Sangsang is Ning Que's maid. Her stay and departure should be decided by their master and servant. She doesn't want to leave Ning Que, and Ning Que doesn't want her to leave. I just want to help them."
"People often say that the academy is in short supply, but now it is true when they see it." Ye Su sighed quietly and said softly.
Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Isn't it the same with Zhishouguan?"
"I don't care about the head of Xiling. Since I have been defeated by Mr., I can also give Xiling an explanation. As for Ye Hongyu..." Ye Su glanced at Ye Hongyu beside him and sighed, "I'll ask Mr. from now on."
The more Ye Hongyu listened, the more strange he became. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Ye Su nodding to Zhou Ji and turning around and leaving.
"elder brother..."
Ye Hongyu stepped forward and chased after two steps. Suddenly he thought of something, he stopped and looked at Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji smiled and nodded, signaling her to chase him.
A trace of gratitude flashed in Ye Hongyu's eyes, and he turned around to catch up with Ye Su, but he didn't know how to speak.
"He and you don't want to be like that..." Ye Hongyu was silent for a moment, but in the end he did not tell Ye Su what happened ten years ago. Hearing Ye Hongyu's pale and powerless defense, Ye Su paused and looked at her with a smile.
Ye Hongyu turned his head and didn't want to explain this to Ye Su anymore. The two walked along the stone path by the lake. The brother and sister had not seen each other for many years. Although they seemed to have a bad relationship, they were actually very concerned about each other. The towering city walls in the distance came into view. The two stopped at the official fork. Ye Hongyu whispered: "Are you here to come to me this time... to find him?"
"Yes, not." Ye Su looked in Chang'an and sighed, "I heard that the head of the sect ordered you to take the daughter of light back to Xiling, but you colluded with outsiders to apostate the sect, and ruled that the sect priest Tianyu priest and the commander of the Xiling cavalry have all come to Tang State, so I must come and have a look."
"..." Ye Hongyu was speechless for a moment.
On the other side.
Zhou Ji suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in his heart as Ye Hongyu and Ye Su were gone. This loss was not because Ye Hongyu chased her brother, but as a lonely traveler in the world of heaven, he had experienced thousands of years of time and space travel, and occasionally appeared after the noise and noise.
Ye Hongyu was shrouded in the shadow of his childhood for a whole decade, and there was at least a brother connected by his blood, but there was only a flat lake pavilion beside him, and the world was vast.
The red figure had disappeared at the end of the lakeside. Zhou Ji sighed and turned around. He wanted to go back to the room to adjust his breathing and practice, and restore most of the cultivation level he had just lost, but when he turned around, there seemed to be an inaudible chirping of cicadas in his ears, and he disappeared in a trance.
In front of the water pavilion, a woman with books in her arms stood quietly by the lakeside. Her simple and elegant shirt in the light green swayed lightly in the wind, her eyes were clear and calm, with a hint of concern, a quiet and dignified temperament, and a graceful appearance like a lotus in the clear water, like a beautiful picture scroll, blending into this lake and mountain scenery.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Ji's eyes lit up, and he showed a surprised expression.
He really didn't expect the other party to appear suddenly.
His eyes fell on the book in the other party's hand. It was the book they used to record when deducing Haoran's sword energy. Since Yu Lian was holding this book, it must be that Ning Que had another problem in practicing Haoran's Qi?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ji suddenly realized it.
"You are too concerned about Ning Que? You have never seen you leave the academy on weekdays, but now you have broken the trajectory of more than 20 years in order to select the successor of Mingzong."
Zhou Ji's tone had a sour smell, and Yu Lian's clear and calm eyes were filled with a hint of doubt. He didn't understand why Zhou Ji said that. Hearing the taste of eating in Zhou Ji's tone, Yu Lian looked down at the book in his hand and then suddenly realized it.
The old bookstore has been describing regular script for twenty years. After a long time of self-cultivation, the mood will naturally become weaker.
If she had never explained this in the past when facing others like this, but at this moment, an unprecedented emotion surged into her heart, a hint of sweetness and a little joy.
"I just taught my junior brother on Siguo Cliff when I suddenly felt the thunder waves in the direction of Yanming Lake, so I came over to take a look." Yu Lian explained with a normal expression, whispering in a gentle voice, with a slight smile in his tone.
It seemed like a heartstring was stirring. Zhou Ji touched his nose with some discomfort, looked at Yu Lian and said, "Are you caring about me?"
Yu Lian nodded, his expression as usual, "Yes."
“….”
“….”
The two were silent for a moment. Zhou Ji pointed to the water pavilion next to him and said, "Since you are here, let's sit in it for a while? The scenery here is very good, and the fish sashimi in Yanming Lake tastes very good. I'll catch a few later and try my skills."
Yu Lian nodded slightly and followed Zhou Ji toward the water pavilion.
The corridor was long, and Yu Lian asked about what he had just fought with. When he learned that the other party was walking in Xiling and the battle, he said calmly, "The storm is coming and the wind is filling the building. They will definitely not give up with the domineering behavior of Xiling."
"The most important thing is not this, but Ning Que's identity." Zhou Ji sighed, "They gathered many forces on the ground that Ning Que is the son of the Pluto and attacked the Tang Dynasty."
Yu Lian's expression changed a little. He looked at Zhou Ji with clear and bright eyes and said in a deep voice, "Is this true?"
"It's true."
Another voice came from outside the door, and a bright red figure walked into the main hall, with a dim face as deep as a waterway, "My brother said that the undercurrent of Xiling was surging, and he had joined forces with Yuelun and Beiyan to issue a manifesto, claiming that Ning Que was the son of the remnant of the Demon Sect, and asked the Tang Kingdom to hand him over, otherwise he would attack Tang in the name of Haotian."
Good guy, Ning Que first abolished the Qihai Snow Mountain of Prince Longqing of Yan State, and then killed Quni and Baoshu's illegitimate son of Baita Temple in Yuelun State. Then he came to challenge him and escaped. Before he could "discuss" with him, once he came out of the cliff cave, he accidentally "discussed" the younger brother of the sword saint Liu Bai, and then he would really fill the buff.
Zhou Ji couldn't understand why he had to make such a bitter and deep hatred and was an enemy of the world. However, he was not Ning Que, nor had he experienced such a difficult situation as him, so he couldn't say much.
"Things are not as serious as you thought." Zhou Ji smiled, "As long as the Master is still there, the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty will not happen. As for Ning Que..."
Zhou Ji sighed, "After all, this world depends on fists. Whether it is an open conspiracy or a conspiracy, as long as it is strong enough, it can be ignored."
Regarding this, both Ye Hongyu and Yu Lian nodded with great approval.
When he was in the back mountain of the academy, Ye Hongyu had met Yu Lian once, but that time he just said hello and couldn't say anything. Yu Lian finally walked out of the academy and decided to go back when he saw that Zhou Ji had no hands. As a result, Zhou Ji was soaked and kept it and sat down for a while.
After dinner, Zhou Ji sent her back to the academy. The two of them said nothing, until they watched Yu Lian walk into the old bookstore, and they said, "Thank you."
Yu Lian turned around, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone from the branches at the door. Zhou Ji looked at the quiet figure bathed in the sun, his eyes full of sincerity and warmth, "I am really happy that you can come to Yanming Lake."
Back at the Yanming Lake pavilion, the sky was almost dim. A bright red ray stood under the lantern at the entrance of the corridor. The fire swayed, and the elongated shadow swayed gently.
Zhou Ji looked at Ye Hongyu who was waiting for him at the door and smiled, "What are you doing here? Are you waiting for me?"
"Sorry." Ye Hongyu looked at Zhou Ji who was walking towards her, and his fingertips turned pale with his sword hilt in his hand. He lowered his head and said softly.
