Seven days flew by in a blink, and the competition among the newly initiated disciples came to an end.
The leaderboard was updated daily, and Ji Yunxi's ranking soared in everyone's sight. As expected, she finally took the first place.
Every one of her matches was a much - awaited event. Not only the newly initiated disciples but also the previous ones came to watch, eager to see who on earth could master the Nine - Heavens Circular Instrument Sword Technique so well in just a few days.
Rong Hua came and went during these days, and several celestial venerables cast envious glances at him.
If Ji Yunxi were their disciple, it would be such an honor.
After all, while the master shows the way, practice depends on the individual. Although Ji Yunxi's achievements had something to do with Rong Hua's guidance, in essence, it was her own ability.
Gradually, the doubts about Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi had subsided.
When people mentioned the two, there was only envy for their relationship and admiration for their skills.
In contrast, Sang Qingzhou was in a much more miserable state.
The testimony of Hua Siyun and Qi Haoyang outside Ji Yunxi's house that day had greatly changed many people's views of Lü Chengming and Sang Qingzhou.
If Ji Yunxi had explained it herself, they might not have believed her. However, Qi Haoyang and Hua Siyun, who usually had little interaction with them, stood up and directly exposed the two's hypocrisy. The disciples who didn't know the whole story already believed most of it.
Originally, there were still a few people taking care of Sang Qingzhou in his room, but now there was not a single one.
On the third day after the results were announced, Sang Qingzhou finally woke up groggily.
Unfortunately, he couldn't speak or move. He almost fainted again before being discovered.
During the morning class, Li Jiuge pulled Ji Yunxi and whispered cheerfully, "Yunxi, do you know how miserable Sang Qingzhou is?"
"What happened to him?" Ji Yunxi had previously known that Sang Qingzhou had survived. It seemed that the saying "Evil people live long" was really true.
"He woke up, but no one cared about him. He almost fainted again. Moreover, I heard that Xiao Yi never visited Sang Qingzhou even once."
Ji Yunxi showed no expression on her face. "Their master - disciple relationship was based on self - interest. When the interest was gone, the relationship naturally ended."
"But isn't that Celestial Venerable Xiao Yi very concerned about his reputation? He didn't even take a look?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "Sang Qingzhou's very existence has already shamed him. He would never want to disgrace himself again."
"How scary. If such a person were to ascend, it would be a disaster."
Ji Yunxi looked up at the sky outside the window and thought of the Yunluo Sky she had seen that day. "No, he doesn't deserve it."
After the morning class, instead of going to see Feng Xingzhi, Ji Yunxi went to Rong Hua's palace alone.
On the way, she met the disciple who had come to cause trouble before.
"Ji Yunxi! I'm, I'm sorry."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows. This person had been the most noisy that day, but now he was the first one to apologize to her.
"It's okay. Lü Chengming deceived you. I won't blame you."
The person bit his lips. "I didn't know before. I just thought... thought you were a bad person. Now I realize I was too stupid. I hope you won't mind."
Ji Yunxi gave a faint smile. "We are all disciples of Kunlun. I don't blame you."
After the person walked away, he stood there in a daze, with Ji Yunxi's faint smile lingering in his mind.
"Disciple Ji Yunxi pays respects to Master."
Ji Yunxi stood outside the palace. Rong Hua waved his hand, and the door opened directly.
She stepped forward and got straight to the point. "Master, the results have been announced today. Can you apply for me to go to the library now?"
Rong Hua frowned. He remembered Chu Huaiyuan's targeting of Ji Yunxi that day and felt a little hesitant. "Yes. Go back and wait for the news."
Ji Yunxi didn't know that the leader of Kunlun Mountain didn't like her. She just waited patiently.
A few days later, Rong Hua sent a disciple.
"Sister Ji, Master asked me to find you. He said that your application to go to the library has been approved. Master is waiting for you outside the library."
At that time, Ji Yunxi was visiting Feng Xingzhi. When she heard that she could go to the library, Feng Xingzhi immediately grabbed her hand. "Xixi, I'm much better. You should go there quickly."
Ji Yunxi nodded. She entrusted Feng Xingzhi to her elder brother and then rushed to the library in a hurry.
From afar, she saw Rong Hua standing at the door. She quickened her steps and bowed.
"The vice - leader has agreed, but you need me to go in with you. You are not allowed to look at the forbidden books."
Ji Yunxi was a little worried. What if the information she needed was in the forbidden books?
Rong Hua stared into her eyes. "You're not going there specifically for the forbidden books, are you?"
"Of course not." Ji Yunxi thought to herself that she didn't even know if the method she was looking for was in the content of the forbidden books.
The two entered together. The interior of the library was very spacious, and there were heavy prohibitions on the first floor.
Rong Hua waved his hand, and the prohibitions were lifted. The view became more open.
Ji Yunxi searched everywhere. She even used her spiritual power to fly and get the books placed on high shelves.
Seeing that she had a clear goal, Rong Hua asked curiously, "What book are you looking for?"
Ji Yunxi thought that since he was her master anyway, there was no harm in asking. So she said, "Master, do you know if a person can have two powers in their body at the same time?"
Rong Hua immediately shook his head. "A person's body cannot have two powers at the same time, unless both powers are divine powers."
Ji Yunxi was shocked. She knew that she had divine power, but she didn't expect the other power to be divine power too!
Her divine power might be the inheritance from her previous life as Feng Yunxi, but why was Feng Xingzhi's power also divine power?
Could it be the legacy from the upper realm?
Full of doubts, Ji Yunxi stood there lost in thought.
Rong Hua guessed the book she was looking for. Without disturbing her, he turned around and started to search. Soon he came out with a stack of books.
When Ji Yunxi came back to her senses, she saw several thick stacks of books on the ground. She couldn't finish reading them all at once!
She was a bit distressed. She was afraid that it would be difficult to enter the library again after this time. But with so many books, could she ask Rong Hua to wait for her here all the time?
"Master, can I take these books back to read?"
Rong Hua raised his eyebrows. "Of course you can. You are my disciple, and these are not forbidden books."
Happily holding the books she wanted, Ji Yunxi rushed to Feng Xingzhi's room. The two of them flipped through the books one by one for several days.
Li Jiuge came to deliver food to them. When she opened the door and saw the two frowning and lost in thought while looking at something, she was a bit anxious. "How's it going? Have you found the method?"
Ji Yunxi sighed and closed the book in her hand. "We've found it, but it's not that easy to implement."
