"Junior Sister, I told you that this brat is a bit strange."
Wu Cong narrowed his eyes and looked at the whirlwind in front of him. He put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Just wait and see how I deal with him!"
The young man stood in the wind, his light blue sleeves fluttering in the wind. He looked dignified and had an extraordinary bearing.
But the "girl" beside him did not appreciate it.
Xie Ziyou's face was as cold as ice. She tilted her head slightly and said indifferently, "Oh, Senior Brother, can you do it?"
Nonsense!
How could a man say no at this time!
"Don't worry, Junior Sister. I will protect you even if I have to risk my life!"
Wu Cong's eyes lit up.
This kind of opportunity to show off his martial prowess in front of Junior Sister was too rare!
Xie Xiannu had a cold personality and rarely went out. Almost everyone in the Central Academy worshipped her as a goddess. When she went out, she was often surrounded by servants. How could she encounter any danger?
Today's coincidence was truly a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
Moreover, although Junior Sister's cultivation was strong, she lacked combat experience. Seeing the situation on the other side, even if she did not say it, she was probably afraid.
In the final analysis, this was a good time for him to show off his power!
"Junior Sister, don't be afraid. Hide behind me."
The young man's excitement was beyond words and he chattered for a while. "Senior Brother is going to use a move that I created when I was 16 years old. It's called 'Quicksand River'. It can gather wind and sand into a waterfall to drown the enemy …"
Xie Ziyou could not bear it anymore. She raised her hand and a light blue Qi whip broke through the air. It wrapped around Wu Cong's waist and rolled him to the side.
Was this person stupid?
The other side was already controlling the wind waterfall. How could he roll up the yellow sand?
Was he attacking Guan Heng or helping Guan Heng attack her?
Guan Heng, who was in a killing frenzy, was already a headache. At this critical moment, this idiot still came to make trouble for him.
Xie Ziyou took a deep breath and held her breath.
Three thousand strands of black hair fluttered quietly. The "girl" stretched out her slender hand, her fingertips gently moving in the air.
The azure blue Xuan Li flowed out of his fingertips like a stream. It swayed in the wind and turned into countless tiny crystalline light spots.
The tiny dots emitted a hazy halo like moonlight. They danced lightly in the direction of the whirlwind. When they approached Guan Heng, they produced the crisp sound of ice crystals shattering, as if a white cocoon had been broken.
Slender antennae extended out of the crystal point and shook a few times against the whirlwind. Then, they stretched out in the air and unfolded the ethereal, beautiful, and almost transparent ice-blue butterfly wings under the sunlight.
As more and more butterflies broke out of their cocoons, Xie Ziyou's snow-white cheeks flushed red. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly and drooped down to cover her blue eyes.
Using this move took a huge toll on him.
But Xie Ziyou didn't have much choice.
Guan Heng was already covered in scars, and his mentality had collapsed. He had to knock the protagonist unconscious and make sure his methods were gentle so as not to aggravate the boy's injuries.
This dream-like move, "Cold Butterfly Dance," which could lure people into a dream, was the best choice.
Although the burden was high, the effect was obvious. As more and more butterflies fluttered in the air, Guan Heng's figure in the distance became more and more shaky. He almost couldn't hold the long saber in his hand. The Xuan Li dissipated and disappeared in the wind.
The moment the black light disappeared, the powerful whirlwind in the air also gradually weakened. The thick clouds drifted away, revealing the azure sky behind them. Faint golden sunlight sprinkled down like a golden curtain of rain.
"Thump!"
The boy fell in a daze, his heavy eyelids gradually closing.
A bloodshot tear flowed down the corner of his eye and fell to the ground. It was absorbed by the blood-soaked soil.
Xie Ziyou took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and sighed in his heart.
It had finally come to an end.
Next, he just needed to find an excuse to "deal with Guan Heng" and find a hidden and safe valley to dump him. Then, he could retreat.
… Let's end this quickly.
Xie Ziyou didn't want to stay in this damned place for a second longer.
"I'll throw him out of the examination area."
Xie Ziyou kicked off and flew into the air.
"Wait, Junior Sister!" Wu Cong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed behind and shouted, "Leave this kind of dirty and tiring work to Senior Brother. I have the Earth Element, and I can dig holes very quickly. Junior Sister —"
In midair, the girl's white clothes fluttered. Her eyes were cold, and she ignored him.
But before Xie Ziyou could land in front of the unconscious Guan Heng, the corner of his lapel suddenly trembled violently. The chiffon trembled, as if it was very anxious.
What the hell?
Xie Ziyou frowned.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached his hand into his lapel and searched for a while. He took out a sparkling and translucent crystal.
The crystal was Yingbai, and the edges were polished into a smooth arc. The inside of the crystal was shining brightly, and there were light black lines moving around like swimming fish. Gradually, they formed a line of small words.
[Bring him back to the academy.]
Xie Ziyou's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes flashed.
This crystal was given to him by his master, the Dean of the Central Academy, as a means of communication. It was much more advanced than the one he gave You Qin, and could transmit simple text messages for a short time.
However, this kind of advanced recall command also consumed a lot of energy. With Xie Ziyou's seventh level cultivation, he could only activate the crystal to display one word at most.
Xie Ziyou was silent for a long time, and he couldn't understand. "How does the Dean know what happened thousands of miles away?"
"Why does he want me to bring Guan Heng back?"
The System sighed and said, "Since he wants to see Guan Heng, at least he doesn't want to take the protagonist's life."
"Think about it, maybe this isn't a bad thing?"
Xie Ziyou clenched his teeth.
… Hopefully.
He turned around and suddenly met Wu Cong's eyes.
The young man's face was dark, and his eyes were full of anger. He held an identical crystal in his hand, and it was shining brightly. The tadpole-like patterns were gradually condensing. It was obvious that he had received the same message as Xie Ziyou.
The Dean had passed the message to the two of them.
Xie Ziyou and Wu Cong, one floating in the air and the other standing on the ground, looked at each other with regret in their hearts. Between them, Wu Zhengying, who was crying "Cong" and didn't know what to do, they looked at each other in dismay.
With the other party as a witness, it wasn't convenient for them to destroy the corpse and pretend that they didn't see anything.
… …
Although the Central Academy was located in the center of the mainland, it covered an area of thousands of acres. It wasn't a flat plain, but was surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Among them, there were steep mountains, rivers, and dangerous cliffs. It was not only a place for students to gain experience, but also a place for punishment.
The famous "Reflection Cliff" was one of these places.
It was surrounded by water and stood alone. The Reflection Peak was thousands of feet high. From afar, it was a towering green, and there was a faint white mist curling around it like a ribbon. It was ethereal and full of elegance.
What was strange was that the lower parts of the mountain were still lush with pine trees that provided shade. But from about a thousand meters above sea level, heaven and earth miraculously drew a line of desolation for the lonely peak. Above a thousand meters, Reflection Peak was a completely barren land where not even a blade of grass grew. As far as the eye could see, there was not a single trace of green to be found. There were only bare cliffs and a hundred years of unmelted snow covering them.
The precipitous mountain wall was like a jade mirror that had been sharpened by a knife. Every day, when the glaring sunlight fell on the mountain wall, it would reflect the same amount of light, shining brightly like a sharp blade that had been unsheathed and pierced into the clouds.
Bitter cold, cold, lonely, bleak … These were the synonyms of the Reflection Cliff.
However, the world was dangerous, and there was always a way out.
Although the environment of the Reflection Cliff was extremely harsh, the air was thin at the high peaks. The cliffs and ice were exposed to direct sunlight all year round, which condensed the essence of the sun and the moon. It gathered the purer Xuan Qi between heaven and earth. It allowed people to comprehend Dao in peace and had the effect of refining their cultivation.
Those who climbed the Reflection Cliff, as long as they could endure the bitter cold and loneliness, would be able to reap great benefits in the end.
After bringing the unconscious Guan Heng back to the Central Academy, Xie Ziyou secretly hinted that the youth was finally locked up on the Reflection Cliff.
The Devouring Sky technique was best at absorbing Xuan Qi and cleansing the body. A natural place like the Reflection Cliff was the best place for him to recover from his injuries.
However, Xie Ziyou was still worried.
Finally, it was nighttime. He dismissed the maids and looked at the dark and windy moon outside. He secretly circulated his Qi and silently crept up the Reflection Peak.
The System sighed several times. "You, I can remotely monitor the life state of the protagonist …"
When it sighed, Xie Ziyou quickly covered his ears and shook his head, pretending not to hear it.
After repeating this several times, the System stopped reminding him.
Its gaze was complicated as it watched Xie Ziyou pick up his skirt and tiptoe, sneakily leaping towards the direction where Guan Heng was locked up. He used his seventh-level levitation ability in such a place, but his feet did not touch the ground. It was silent.
The place where he was trapped was a cave. There was nothing in the cave, and the cold wind was blowing. The stone platform under his feet was as cold as ice. Standing on it made one feel as if their blood had frozen and their hands and feet were ice cold.
Xie Ziyou clung to the stone wall and used his fingertips to grind off the stone powder bit by bit. Finally, he penetrated a small hole.
He half squatted on the ground and looked inside attentively.
The System said helplessly, "You, your posture is not very elegant. It doesn't fit the image of Xie Xiannu. Once someone comes …"
Xie Ziyou squinted his eyes. The tip of his nose was almost touching the stone wall. A thin layer of dust fell on his small nose, which he hurriedly wiped away. Yingbai's skin revealed a thin layer of red.
The youth did not turn his head. He only waved his left hand impatiently behind him. "It's so cold at night. Who's coming up? Looking for trouble? "
Before he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. His upturned peach blossom eyes flashed with embarrassment and anger. He immediately changed the topic and muttered, "… Do you think I'm happy to do this? It's like peeping?"
"It's all because of the bad design of this stone wall. The top is so thick that it's impossible to break through. The bottom is thin. Don't interrupt. I'm just going to take a peek. I'll leave immediately after."
As he spoke, he leaned forward and pressed his cheek tightly against the stone wall.
His waterfall-like black hair slid down the side of his ear and swept across his cheeks that were slightly red from the cold wind. The ends of his hair were fine, quietly sliding on the dusty ground.
