Hearing this, Ji Yunxi made up her mind to go to Lingyun Mountain. "Azhi, we must go there. That person must know something. Maybe the reason she insisted on making a blood pact with me is related to the Upper Realm! How about we set off tomorrow?"
Feng Xingzhi quickly grabbed her. "Xixi, don't be impatient. For now, we only know there's a possibility that she's related to it, but we can't be certain. Since we're cooperating with Rong Hua, I think it's better to discuss this with him first. Even if he doesn't know, he can give us some advice."
Ji Yunxi didn't want to talk to Rong Hua privately, but she knew Feng Xingzhi was right, so she could only nod.
The next day.
Ji Yunxi's yard was surprisingly lively. She heard Hua Siyun's voice before she even opened her eyes.
Hua Siyun was making a racket in the yard as if she was angry, and there was a soft voice trying to persuade her. Without a doubt, it must be Li Jiuge.
Ji Yunxi got dressed groggily and went out. Before she could see clearly, Hua Siyun grabbed her shoulders.
"Ji Yunxi! Why didn't you say it was Yunluotian who hurt you? Are you too scared to say it?! Does she think she can bully the disciples at will just because she's an upper god?"
Ji Yunxi looked at Li Jiuge in confusion. She only saw Li Jiuge shrugging helplessly. "It wasn't me who told her. Siyun heard the other disciples talking about it today, so she found out."
Hua Siyun was still angry. "Don't try to hide it from me. What's there to be afraid of saying! It's true that she's an upper god, but she can't hurt you for no reason, right?"
Ji Yunxi quickly comforted her. "Stop talking nonsense. She didn't bully me. Moreover, the Upper Realm has already sent someone to punish her. I was the one who carried out the punishment myself. Don't be angry anymore."
Hua Siyun looked at her in disbelief and sized her up. "Are you serious?"
Ji Yunxi looked at Li Jiuge and signaled to her. Li Jiuge had no choice but to step forward and nod. "Yes, she really took revenge. It was twenty lightning strikes!"
She raised her hand and pointed at the sky. "Lightning strikes are no joke. One strike would tear the skin and flesh, and twenty strikes almost knocked that upper god out."
Seeing how serious she was, Hua Siyun finally felt better. She snorted. "These upper gods from the Upper Realm are so hypocritical. What lightning punishment? It's just for show!"
Ji Yunxi was helpless. This girl really spoke without restraint, but it was good this way. The more they scolded, the more favorable the news passed back by the spies of Yuehua Palace would be for Yunluotian.
Thinking of this, her heart tightened. She wondered how her little junior sister was doing now...
Li Jiuge knew Ji Yunxi was worried about Yunluotian. If Hua Siyun kept talking, she was afraid Ji Yunxi would cry. So she quickly comforted Hua Siyun. "Alright, alright. After all, she's an upper god. Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. I heard the breakfast in the restaurant is really good today. Hurry up."
In the afternoon, Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi found the others to discuss going to Lingyun Mountain.
Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge were still worried. They patiently advised the two of them. "You'd better not go. It's too dangerous down the mountain now."
Feng Xingzhi refuted. "But we can't keep hiding. If we can't take the initiative, we'll be led around by them."
"Then I'll go with you." Ji Yunyi knew he wasn't good at arguing, so he thought if he went with them, there would surely be no problem.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yunxi stopped him. "Second brother, you guys have to stay on the mountain to help us cover."
"Cover what?"
"Cover our departure. We can't let the people from the Upper Realm know that we're going to Lingyun Mountain again. Otherwise, Lingyun Mountain will also be exposed to them."
Feng Xingzhi nodded. "That's right. And it's easier for the two of us to hide our tracks. It would be too obvious if four of us went."
Ji Yunxi was touched that Feng Xingzhi understood her. She nodded slightly at him.
Seeing that they were determined, Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge had no choice but to agree.
Ji Yunxi went back to her room to pack her things and then went to the palace to find Rong Hua. When Rong Hua saw her, he invited her to sit in the yard. After setting up a barrier, he asked where she was going.
"I'm going to Lingyun Mountain."
Rong Hua didn't know about Lingyun Mountain. He thought she didn't trust him and was a bit anxious. "I didn't lie to you before. You don't have to..."
"I'm not doubting you. I just have some things to do on Lingyun Mountain."
Rong Hua took a deep breath. "Give me a reason."
"Back then, the master of Lingyun Mountain captured Jiuge. When I went to save her, she forced me to make a blood pact with her. But later, she helped me several times. When we were looking for medicine in the snowfield and met the Bai Ze, it was thanks to her help that we were able to escape. In my opinion, she's very powerful. She could suppress the Bai Ze with a wave of her hand, and the Ruoshui Sword was very obedient in her hands. I suspect she's also from the Upper Realm, so we have to go and find out."
Rong Hua finally understood the reason. He thought for a while. "If what you said is true, and she's really an upper god and so high - profile on Lingyun Mountain, she's probably the one from Fengche Palace."
"Fengche Palace?" Ji Yunxi was confused. Her knowledge of Fengche Palace was limited to the fact that it was founded by Feng Xingzhi. Only a few people knew about this. It was because she was familiar with Feng Xingzhi back then that she knew a little.
So everyone thought that Emperor Fengji was the founder of Fengche Palace.
Ji Yunxi subconsciously thought the person Rong Hua was talking about was Emperor Fengji. She looked at him in disbelief. "Isn't Emperor Fengji already dead?"
Rong Hua shook his head repeatedly. "No, I'm not talking about Emperor Fengji. Emperor Fengji has indeed been dead for many years. I'm talking about a woman."
Ji Yunxi's eyes widened instantly. She really hadn't mentioned to Rong Hua that the person was a woman, but Rong Hua accurately said that the person was a woman. Didn't this mean... he really knew who that person was?!
"That person is indeed a woman! Who on earth is she?!"
Unfortunately, for all her expectations, Rong Hua shook his head. "I don't know her. I only met her a few times back then. I don't know much about this person."
Ji Yunxi took a deep breath. She was very disappointed.
Seeing her like this, Rong Hua also felt a bit uncomfortable. "But I don't know nothing. I heard that this person has a strange temper. If you go to her, you have to be careful. It might be better if someone from Fengche Palace goes with you."
"At this time, where can I find someone from Fengche Palace..." As she was muttering, a figure suddenly flashed through her mind.
Azhi, wasn't he from Fengche Palace?
Others might not know, but Ji Yunxi knew best. Not only was he from Fengche Palace, but he was also the founder. If that person was also from Fengche Palace, wouldn't it... be a lucky coincidence?!
Maybe they could even get her to help Azhi regain his memory!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunxi didn't hesitate for a moment. She stood up abruptly and was about to turn around and go out to find Feng Xingzhi.
