Feng Qingxue's answer was within everyone's expectations. Ye Futian was delusional enough to want to cultivate with Feng Qingxue. Was he trying to woo her? He had no self-awareness at all.
Although many people knew that the two were close, probably because of their many years of friendship, it did not mean that they could cross the line. Feng Qingxue's declaration that they were both adults was a clear indication of her attitude.
"That's a slap in the face, isn't it?" Many people gloated, as if they had seen a good show.
She did not give herself any leeway at all.
Ye Futian knew what they were thinking when he saw their expressions. It was a melodramatic story. He shook his head and turned to leave.
"You're asking her in public. You're not giving her any leeway at all," Ye Futian said softly.
"From the moment she allowed Murong Qing to stand in front of you, she has already shown her attitude. You've been friends for so many years, and she said that she wanted to keep her distance from you. What is this? Is she cutting off all ties with you?" Yu Sheng's face darkened, like a furious lion.
"Young people are always easily deceived. She's only fifteen, what does she know?" Ye Futian did not seem to realize that he had been slapped in the face. On the contrary, he wanted to explain for Feng Qingxue.
"Don't forget what she said. She was so determined, and she did not give you any face. Since she has made up her mind, then this friendship ends here," Yu Sheng said firmly. He knew Ye Futian better than anyone else. Underneath the cynical mask was a passionate heart, especially for the people around him. He wanted to let go of what Feng Qingxue had done and give her another chance.
But he would not allow it. He had to protect something for Ye Futian, such as his pride and self-esteem. Of course, he knew what Feng Qingxue had missed.
He would not forget what his father had said to Ye Futian. People tended to see things clearly when they were down and out. There was no need to care about these things. One day, when you shine brightly, the whole world will make way for you.
…
At that moment, there was a commotion in the arena, attracting the attention of the crowd. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng turned to look in the direction of the commotion. In front of the arena, there were a few figures flying over. They had wings on their backs, flapping in the air as they stopped in the air above the arena.
"That's an elder brother from the Magic Palace. He's a wind-elemental sorcerer. He uses wind-elemental magic to create wings that allow him to fly in the air." Many people looked envious. The Plane of Awakening was to break through the limits of the human body, allowing the Spiritual Qi and the body to be in perfect harmony. Only when one entered the Glory Plane and became a Glory Sorcerer could they cast all kinds of spells at will.
In the Divine Land, the status of mages was higher than that of martial arts cultivators.
Only Wind Mages could fly in the air at the Glory Plane.
"Mount Tianyao has already cleared out an area. There won't be any beasts beyond the Awakening Plane in this area. The next seven days will be the Autumn Hunt before the Fall Quarter Examinations. You can go hunting to test your progress over the past year. At the same time, you can hone your combat skills and your ability to deal with danger."
A wind-elemental sorcerer floating in the air said, "You'll have to leave the academy sooner or later. Without experiencing the trials of iron and blood, you won't be able to truly grow."
"Of course, the safety of the Autumn Hunt is still your top priority. Therefore, I hope you can travel together and look out for each other."
Everyone nodded. The Autumn Hunt before the Fall Quarter Examinations was cleared out by Qingzhou Academy every year. It was safer than usual. Even so, some brave people would still enter Mount Tianyao to train themselves.
"Other than that, when the Fall Quarter Examinations begin, Qingzhou Academy will be open to the public. Many people from the City of Qingzhou will come to watch the ceremony. Your elders might come as well. Perform well and don't let them down," the senior from the School of Sorcery continued. The senior from the School of Divination Arts continued. Everyone knew that the Spring Quarter Examinations and Fall Quarter Examinations were the most important events in Qingzhou Academy and the City of Qingzhou.
Compared to the Spring Quarter Examinations, the Fall Quarter Examinations were more important. The main purpose of the Spring Quarter Examinations was to select official students. Only a few people were the focus of attention.
"Alright, go get ready." The senior waved his hand. Then, the group of people flapped their wings and left. They seemed to be heading towards the back of the mountain.
The gymnasium immediately became lively. Many people gathered together to discuss the Autumn Hunt.
They couldn't miss out on the opportunity of the Autumn Hunt.
"Ye Futian, what do you think?" Qin Yi asked Ye Futian from afar.
"Senior Sister Qin, what do you mean?" Ye Futian looked at Qin Yi.
"The Autumn Hunt is an opportunity. You and Yu Sheng should be safe. You can use this opportunity to train and see if you can break through to the next level," Qin Yi said.
"No," Ye Futian shook his head. "I'm not going to participate in this Autumn Hunt."
After all, he had just come down from the back of the mountain. There was no need to go again.
Qin Yi stared at him. "You're still young. Don't let some setbacks affect your state of mind. Don't become dispirited."
She thought of Ye Futian's lonely figure when Feng Qingxue rejected him. She was worried that he would suffer too much.
Ye Futian blinked. He knew that Qin Yi had misunderstood. He glanced at Qin Yi's impressive figure and whispered, "Senior Sister, I'm not young anymore."
Qin Yi froze. She looked at Ye Futian's eyes and then turned around angrily. "You're hopeless."
Ye Futian saw that Qin Yi was angry. His smile widened. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qin."
Qin Yi paused for a second, then continued walking forward.
"Not bad. I can consider it," Yu Sheng whispered. Ye Futian looked at him, confused. "Consider what?"
"Isn't it your candidate?" Yu Sheng looked at Ye Futian seriously.
"Uh …" Ye Futian rubbed his head. One was marked by the company one kept.
…
Qingzhou Academy was bustling with activity. A large group of people set off towards the back of the mountain. Many people were in high spirits. This kind of scene happened every year. After a few days, many of these youthful people would become dispirited. Others would be traumatized. Of course, some of them would get hurt.
During the hunt, Qingzhou Academy would clear the area. However, there were still powerful demon beasts of the seventh, eighth, and even ninth level. These demon beasts were nightmares for some people.
The hunt was a trial, but it was also a baptism.
At the foot of Mount Tianyao, people kept coming in groups. At this time, a group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Feng Qingxue." Many people noticed the young girl in the group. She was wearing a fiery-red dress and looked valiant and formidable. Her face also looked delicate and charming under the contrast of her clothes, which added a bit of charm to her.
"Who's that next to her?" Someone noticed that other than her friend Murong Qing, there was another man beside Feng Qingxue. He had an extraordinary temperament.
"That's Murong Qiu, Murong Qing's cousin. He's a direct descendant of the Murong Chamber of Commerce. He's on the Ninth Plane of Awakening, Uniting. I can't believe he's going to the Autumn Hunt with Feng Qingxue. No wonder …"
Many people thought of a certain poor guy who had been rejected. They could not help but shake their heads. That guy had no self-awareness.
Grown up and kept his distance? Then what was Murong Qiu?
If that guy knew about this, who knew how he would feel?
"That guy is so upset. I'm afraid he's going to give up on the Fall Quarter Examinations again." The crowd whispered when they saw Murong Qiu and Feng Qingxue.
Not long after, Ye Futian heard about it from other people. He was a little depressed that he had somehow become the protagonist of this cliché story. Although he had never thought about pursuing Feng Qingxue, he was still a little unhappy. It had nothing to do with love, it was just pure displeasure.
Of course, he did not care too much. The rest of his time was going to be spent on cultivation. He wanted to improve himself before the Fall Quarter Examinations.
A few days later, Ye Futian was cultivating quietly in the villa. The scorching fire of the sun surrounded his body, cleansing his meridians and bones. Now that he had the Sun Life Spirit, he would naturally focus on cultivating the fire element.
When he was training at the back of the mountain, he could feel the dense wood element Spiritual Qi in the plants and the water element Spiritual Qi in the waterfall. However, he could not create the Sun Life Spirit like he did with the sun.
Could it be that he was too greedy? After all, that kind of opportunity could only be found by chance.
Hearing footsteps, Ye Futian stopped cultivating. He looked up at Yu Sheng and asked, "What is it?"
Yu Sheng wouldn't disturb his cultivation if there wasn't something important.
"Many people have come down from the back of the mountain these past two days. There's a rumor going around the academy," Yu Sheng said.
"What rumor?" Ye Futian was curious.
"Qingzhou Academy is clearing out the restricted area. Some people claim to have seen a dragon," Yu Sheng said, his eyes shining.
"A dragon." A bright light flashed in Ye Futian's eyes. The forbidden land was prepared for hunting, and someone actually saw a dragon?
Even if a dragon had appeared on the entire Mount Tianyao, it would still be sensational news. If it was true, the entire city of Qingzhou would be in an uproar.
The dragon was the symbol of fate. It was the saint of demons, and was comparable to the emperor of humans.
"Do you think it's true or not?" Ye Futian asked Yu Sheng.
"A few people claim to have seen it with their own eyes. Qingzhou Academy is even preparing to clear out the area to allow their students to return. If the academy is really doing this, then it's very likely to be true," Yu Sheng said.
"Let's go for a walk." Ye Futian stood up and walked out of the courtyard. In the past few days, many students had returned. There were also people like Ye Futian who did not go. They probably knew that it was too dangerous to go with a low plane. They could not even deal with a random demon.
When the two of them arrived at the back of the mountain, they saw many people coming down from the mountain in groups. It was obviously not normal.
Ye Futian and Yu Sheng looked at each other. Someone looked at the people coming down and asked, "What happened?"
"A powerful demon broke into the restricted area. The masters told us to leave and not go back," someone replied.
"What kind of demon is it? Can't the masters just kill it?" someone asked in surprise.
"I heard it's a Thunder Python. It has been cultivating for many years and has a terrifying demonic aura. They haven't been able to kill it yet."
Everyone was talking. Ye Futian and Yu Sheng looked at each other. They felt that something was wrong. Was it a snake or a dragon?
