Those with a guilty conscience turned pale at once upon hearing this.
Ning Shuihan still showed no sign of letting them off easily. With a solemn look on her face, she said, "Show your real skills during the assessment. Stop gossiping here."
Ji Yunxi was slightly surprised. Since she wasn't Ning Shuihan's disciple, she didn't expect the latter to speak up for them.
Turning her head, she happened to catch a glimpse of Feng Xingzhi, who looked equally surprised.
They exchanged a look and gained a new understanding of the immortals on Kunlun Mountain.
After scolding everyone, Ning Shuihan turned around and was about to leave.
When passing by Ji Yunxi, seeing that she had performed the courtesy perfectly, Ning Shuihan felt a bit more at ease.
"Ji Yunyi, there will be a teaching assessment tomorrow!"
Ji Yunyi was just about to cheer that the pressure from his master had disappeared, but then he heard this sentence from afar. Instantly, his face fell.
Ji Yunxi and Li Jiuge couldn't help bursting into laughter.
The disciples' residences were divided into male and female courtyards. Ji Yunxi and Li Jiuge lived next to each other. The food on Kunlun Mountain was delicious, but the cafeteria was quite far from the female courtyard.
The group made an appointment to head towards the cafeteria. On the way, they suddenly ran into the two men who had been shouting and provoking them the other day.
When they saw Ji Yunxi and her group, they immediately turned around and ran away as if they had seen a flood or a fierce beast.
"What's wrong with them?" Li Jiuge was completely confused.
Ji Yunyi said with a smile, "You don't know yet, do you? These two just managed to leave their rooms and show their faces today."
Li Jiuge immediately thought of Qing Xuan and asked, "What happened to them?"
Ji Yunyi whispered, "Someone drew a big turtle on their faces!"
"Pfft!"
That day, Ji Yunxi had pulled Qing Xuan's ear when she was talking. Li Jiuge didn't know what exactly Ji Yunxi had done at that time, but now she knew. Ji Yunxi was really sly and mischievous!
But she had to admit that it made her feel much better.
Hearing the laughter from behind, the two men subconsciously tightened their fists. However, they were too ashamed to do anything. Not only was it embarrassing to fight with women, but exposing the fact that they had been pranked would be even more humiliating.
So they could only leave angrily, flinging their hands.
The cafeteria had always been a gathering place for rumors.
As soon as Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi walked in, they saw Hua Siyun with a sulky face.
"Brother Xingzhi!" Hua Siyun's face immediately brightened up. She quickly walked over with a bowl in her hand.
Ji Yunxi looked at Feng Xingzhi helplessly and said, "Here she comes again."
Feng Xingzhi didn't want to deal with her either. He immediately hid behind Ji Yunxi and said, "Xixi, I saw there are spare ribs. I'll get food for you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Hua Siyun was dissatisfied and asked, "Miss Ji... Why did Brother Xingzhi leave?"
Ji Yunxi smiled and replied, "He's hungry."
Li Jiuge pouted and mumbled, "You're really telling a bald - faced lie..."
"Miss Ji, is your master good to you?" Hua Siyun clearly wanted to inquire about Feng Xingzhi's situation, but she deliberately brought up Rong Hua and Ji Yunxi.
Ji Yunxi guessed her little girl's thoughts and said, "Naturally, he's extremely kind. You can rest assured."
Li Jiuge couldn't stand it anymore. She reached out and pulled Hua Siyun away and said, "Oh! The food today looks really delicious! Hurry up and introduce it to me."
With that, she dragged Hua Siyun away without giving her a chance.
Seeing Hua Siyun walking away, Feng Xingzhi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Xixi, let's go."
"Azhi, A Shu came last night."
Feng Xingzhi nodded and said, "I felt his presence. He left without seeing me."
"I asked him to find out something about our master, but he couldn't find out anything." Ji Yunxi put away her smile.
"That's normal. After all, our master is a master on Kunlun Mountain and is one of the people closest to the heavenly secrets. It would be strange if we could find out so easily."
"You're right. I didn't really intend to investigate him in the first place. It's just that he always gives me a sense of familiarity, but I have no memory of him at all."
Ji Yunxi frowned and said, "If we really have some relationship, it must be something beyond my memory."
Feng Xingzhi picked out the things Ji Yunxi didn't like to eat from her bowl and said, "Don't think too much. After all, time has passed, and some things are hard to say."
After dinner, the group went back to their rooms respectively. Ji Yunxi and Li Jiuge walked towards the female courtyard. On the way, they met Immortal Venerable Rong Hua.
He was very good - looking. Li Jiuge immediately tugged at Ji Yunxi's sleeve and said, "Your master is really handsome."
"Are you infatuated with anyone? How old is he!"
Rong Hua had no idea that his little disciple was saying he was old. He stepped forward and said, "I have something to talk to you about."
Ji Yunxi was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Okay. Master, I also have something to talk to you about."
Seeing this, Li Jiuge quickly bowed to Rong Hua and said goodbye before leaving.
The two walked all the way to Ji Yunxi's room.
As soon as the door was closed, Rong Hua asked, "Do you know the Nine - Heavens Circular Compass Sword Technique on Kunlun Mountain?"
"I've heard of it. This sword technique is very famous. Many disciples come to Kunlun to practice because of this sword technique."
Rong Hua looked quite proud and said, "That's right. The other day I saw your Nianyun Sword. Your Nianyun Heart Method has many similarities with the heart method of the Nine - Heavens Circular Compass Sword Technique. They can be regarded as from the same origin. So you'll be able to practice the Nine - Heavens Circular Compass Sword Technique much faster than others."
"Master, do you mean..."
"The Nine - Heavens Circular Compass Sword Technique is originally my skill. Since you're my disciple, it's right for me to teach it to you."
With that, Rong Hua spread out his palm, and a sword manual immediately appeared.
Ji Yunxi was extremely delighted. Before coming to Kunlun Mountain, she had come for the library. She never even thought about practicing the most powerful skills or being apprenticed to a famous master.
Who would have thought that everything was now moving in a new direction.
Even if Ji Yunxi was really ignorant, she wouldn't refuse Rong Hua at this time. With a serious look on her face, she said, "I will definitely practice hard and not let Master down."
Hearing this, Rong Hua was satisfied and said, "That's right. You're still young. You can't always think about love. That's something that will develop slowly over time."
Seeing that he started talking about her and Feng Xingzhi again, Ji Yunxi felt a bit helpless. He was just like a father who had married off his daughter, full of grievances.
Ji Yunxi nodded perfunctorily and interrupted him, "Master, do you have anything else?"
Rong Hua paused and said, "Wasn't it you who wanted to talk to me?"
Only then did Ji Yunxi remember. She immediately said, "Disciple wants to ask about the ranking of Azhi and me."
"What's wrong? You didn't seem to care much before."
Ji Yunxi sighed and said, "Disciple also wants to not care, but rumors are scary. I've hardly dared to go out these days. Wherever I go, people point at me and whisper."
Hearing this, Rong Hua immediately looked unhappy and said, "As my disciple, how can you be so timid? If they say something bad about you, just fight back!"
Ji Yunxi was so shocked by this that her eyes widened and she said, "Master?!"
Rong Hua coughed dryly and said seriously, "Alright, I'm just joking. However, there is indeed something fishy about this matter. Your ranking was decided by the sect master. I don't know the specific reason either. I only know that this matter has something to do with Taowu."
Ji Yunxi understood. She had guessed that it was related to Taowu!
