The woman's legs went weak. She rushed out in a hurry and didn't even notice when she accidentally kicked something outside the door.
Li Jiuge stood up and wanted to chase after her, but was held back by Ji Yunxi. "Come on, don't pursue a desperate enemy."
"Why let her go?! It was all because of her baseless rumors!"
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "I'm not letting her off."
"But you just let her go."
Feng Xingzhi shook his head helplessly. "Jiuge, think about it. If you've done something conscience - smiting and heard that the real culprit will end up miserably, do you think you can sleep soundly?"
After Feng Xingzhi's explanation, Ji Yunyi immediately understood and couldn't help clicking his tongue. "You two..."
Only then did Li Jiuge react. "You guys! So that's how it is. You're really... too ruthless."
Ji Yunxi smiled faintly. "I've given them many chances, including Sang Qingzhou. Out of respect for his father, I tolerated him several times before. But this time, it was Xiao Yi who said clearly that life and death would be at stake during the competition. So if anything happens then, it won't be my problem."
As Ji Yunxi spoke, she slowly swirled the tea in her hand.
The previously angry atmosphere finally gradually subsided. Ji Yunyi remembered that Li Jiuge had been crying out of breath just now and was really curious. "Actually, I still don't know why you were crying so sadly."
Li Jiuge blushed and stammered a bit.
This time, Ji Yunxi didn't help her. She deliberately looked at her with a hint of a smile. "Jiuge, just say it. It's okay."
Li Jiuge pouted. "It's just because... because what they said was so offensive. Not only did they spread baseless rumors, but that bastard Sang Qingzhou didn't even apologize."
Everyone was amused by Li Jiuge. Ji Yunxi said while laughing, "Come on, Jiuge. Don't be sad. He will surely pay for what he has done."
After some laughter and fun, it was getting late. Everyone was going back to their rooms. Ji Yunxi slowly followed Feng Xingzhi out. Seeing this, the others walked away, knowing that the two had something to talk about.
"Xixi, what do you want to tell me?" Feng Xingzhi saw that she seemed hesitant to speak and asked with a faint smile.
Ji Yunxi lowered her head and fidgeted with her sleeves. Finally, she said, "There's nothing between me and my master. Don't believe those people's nonsense."
Feng Xingzhi was slightly taken aback, then chuckled. "I wondered what was bothering my Xixi. You're so smart, yet you still find it hard to talk about such a thing?"
Ji Yunxi gave him a little glare. "I just... was afraid you'd misunderstand."
Feng Xingzhi laughed even more brightly. "Xixi, I will never doubt you."
"You trust me so much?"
"Xixi is a noble person. If you really didn't like me anymore, you would tell me directly instead of using such under - the - table behavior to tell me."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Ji Yunxi got rid of those random thoughts before and asked Feng Xingzhi, "Where did you go before? Many people couldn't find you."
"I was just about to tell you about this. I went down the mountain and returned to the Dream - Elegance Pavilion. Lu Shu sent a message saying that they had found Ji Yuyan."
Ji Yunxi immediately stopped in her tracks. "Is this true?!"
"Yes. They followed Ji Yuyan for a day and confirmed that she is indeed in the Moon - Gazing Pavilion now. And according to Lu Shu, the Taowu that appeared in the small world this time doesn't seem to be related to the Moon - Gazing Pavilion."
Ji Yunxi had noticed something after calming down these days. The appearance of the Taowu this time did seem like the Moon - Gazing Pavilion's usual way of trying to kill her. But in fact, although the Moon - Gazing Pavilion was a force not to be underestimated, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary mortals to obtain a Taowu.
"I guessed it. The Moon - Gazing Pavilion doesn't have the ability to get a Taowu."
At this moment, both of them thought of a question. The Taowu was one of the four fierce beasts, and there were very few people who could obtain it. The most likely ones were the people from Kunlun Mountain.
But they had never had any grudges with Kunlun Mountain. Why would the people from Kunlun Mountain be so vicious and even release a Taowu?
Feng Xingzhi suddenly looked at Ji Yunxi and asked seriously, "Xixi, have you ever stayed in the Divine Realm?"
Ji Yunxi was taken aback. She didn't expect Feng Xingzhi to guess so quickly.
"I did have a past life in the Divine Realm. My name was Feng Yunxi."
Ji Yunyi happened to pass by behind them in the corridor and heard Ji Yunxi's words clearly.
"What?!" He exclaimed. "Yunxi, you've even stayed in the upper realm?"
Ji Yunyi thought that he, as an elder brother, seemed to be too incompetent.
Feng Xingzhi focused his attention on the Taowu. "Xixi, do you mean that someone from the upper realm is trying to harm us?"
"I'm not sure. But if we rule out all the possibilities, the least likely one might be the answer."
Everyone suddenly fell silent. Ji Yunyi swallowed hard. "Then... did you offend anyone when you were in the upper realm?"
"I was a god in the past and lived in the Cloud - Rising Palace. Could it be that an enemy from my time in the Cloud - Rising Palace recognized me?" Ji Yunxi said tentatively. "But it can't be. I don't remember having any enemies."
She recalled carefully. Although Kunlun Mountain was also part of the Divine Realm, there were no upper - realm gods there. Moreover, she had lived a secluded life back then, practicing magic all day. The person she saw most was probably Feng Xingzhi.
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Feng Xingzhi.
Ji Yunxi sighed. She wasn't a person who liked to cause trouble. Back then, apart from the people from the Moon - Splendor Palace, she had no enemies.
Suddenly, she was startled. There was another person!
That person was the traitor of the Cloud - Rising Palace back then. She had died in order to defend the Cloud - Rising Palace because of this person's betrayal. He was definitely an enemy.
"I remember. There was a person... He betrayed the Cloud - Rising Palace back then, which led to very serious consequences."
Feng Xingzhi paused and tightened his hand. "Was that consequence your death?"
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Yes, it was my death. I was responsible for defending the Cloud - Rising Palace." She said it lightly, but Feng Xingzhi felt a dull pain in his heart. Those long - sealed memories were constantly trying to break out of their cage.
Ji Yunyi cleared his throat. "Where is that person now?"
"I don't know. He was still alive when I died." Ji Yunxi looked at Feng Xingzhi with a hint of a smile. "But Azhi might know."
Feng Xingzhi immediately understood. He must have planned to avenge her, so he must be the only one who knew the whereabouts of that person.
He said regretfully, "I've lost my memories... I can't remember."
Ji Yunxi had wanted to test if his memories had any chance of recovery, but unexpectedly, she had made Feng Xingzhi fall into deep self - blame.
She quickly held his hand and comforted him, "It's not urgent. But now that we're in Kunlun and the enemy is in the dark, we must be careful."
