“Rember my words.” Ji Wujiong raised his finger to ng Qi and said coldly.
ng Qi nodded again. Yun Qingyan’s voice, who was silent for a mont, suddenly rang again: “If you find a chance, try to silence him fore—”
Before Yun Qingyan finished his words, Ji Wujiong spoke again: “ng Qi.”
“Huh?” ng Qi was stunned.
Yun Qingyan did not continue. However, although the sentence was not complete, his aning was already clear.
Ji Wujiong suddenly raised his hand and placed it on his chest, right on his heart. His middle finger and thumb were buckled together. His expression was solemn, and his voice was even more solemn than his expression: “I, the patriarch of Ji family, swear by my soul to never tell anyone that ng Qi possesses the refining thod of Five Spirits Cauldron. In this life, I will never violate this oath. If I ever do, let heaven and earth condemn .”
“…since he still has a brain, let him go for the ti being.” Yun Qingyan’s voice rang again without delay. “But ng Qi, you shouldn’t trust him too much. Ji family people have never been good folks.”
“…Yes.” This ti, even though it was Yun Qingyan’s warning, ng Qi hesitated a bit. When they first t, Ji Wujiong clearly didn’t look like a good person. But he was rciful when attacking and didn’t really hurt Qin Xiumo. Later, although he wanted to ss up with the dical Cultivator Conference, no one died because of him. After entering the Grand Tournant barrier, Ji Wujiong, who initially threatened to cut her into a thousand pieces, began to cooperate with her. Now even more so, he took the initiative to make a soul oath and helped her to keep the secret about Five Spirits Cauldron.
After getting along for just a few days, ng Qi knew that she didn’t hate Ji Wujiong. His actions were extre, and his attitude was as if he despised everyone, but his nature was not evil. However, it was more impossible for her to go against Yun Qingyan’s words. Although she felt a bit conflicted, ng Qi still responded affirmatively.
Yun Qingyan’s voice sounded weaker than before. ng Qi wanted to ask, but judging from their previous conversations, she knew that the other party wouldn’t tell her. ng Qi pursed her mouth as she raised her eyes and watched Ji Wujiong turned his back against her and strode towards the door: “Let’s go.”
“Yeah.” ng Qi followed suit. The eight trigram compass by the door had disappeared. Although the door seed to be made of intangible green light, it opened as soon as it was pushed.
Ji Wujiong stepped in first, followed by ng Qi. Behind the door was a long corridor, surrounded by two walls inlaid by many luminous pearls. Under ng Qi and Ji Wujiong’s feet was a floor made of large bluestone cut into neat slabs, paving a smooth road for them. The pearls shone softly, illuminating the path they traveled on and even the entire passage.
Except for luminous pearls, the walls were also decorated with many lines of various colors. The lines seed ssy, and ng Qi couldn’t figure out what they were. ng Qi raised her head and glanced at the ceiling, also inlaid with countless luminous pearls.
“This is a star chart.” Ji Wujiong, who walked ahead, said to her.
“I see.” ng Qi nodded. The whole passage was embedded with countless luminous pearls, imitating the starry sky and forming a large star chart. “What about these lines?” She asked again.
“Doodles.” Ji Wujiong gave her a glance and said grumpily.
The passage was not long, and it didn’t take a long ti for the two to walk to the exit. Sunlight poured into the exit, dimming the shine of luminous pearls nearby. A few steps away from the exit, Ji Wujiong stopped and asked ng Qi: “What do you think the next test will be?”
After thinking for a while, ng Qi answered: “The first test is about observation, solving a poison, and cooperation. The second test probably supposes to be about quick response, treatnt, and teamwork. Then the third test…” ng Qi glanced at the exit and said: “Should also test our teamwork, and then…” ng Qi pondered: “Healers need to be benevolent, and talent cos after heart. The next test should test both our ability as a dical cultivator and our mindset.”
Ji Wujiong raised an eyebrow: “Let’s go out.” Seeing ng Qi, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator who could beco a fourth-rank dical cultivator, he suddenly felt it made sense.
“Okay.” ng Qi also took another step and walked into the exit. As soon as she stepped out, the sudden bright sunlight made her close her eyes in a reflex. Before she opened her eyes again, a refreshing floral scent ca to her.
ng Qi subconsciously held her breath and slowly opened his eyes. She was suddenly taken aback. The scenery before her was unknown to her, but sohow made her feel a bit familiar. Green mountains stood endlessly in the distance, with a vast grassland on their feet. Hundreds of flowers blood in the grassland. A river with clear water passed through it, and from ti to ti, ng qi could see fish jumping out and in the water surface.
ng Qi stood in a daze for a while before she suddenly reacted. “Ji Wujiong?” She looked around, but found that the black-robed young man was no longer in sight.
“Ji Wujiong!” ng Qi raised her voice and called again.
However, there was no response, only the brisk chirping of birds and the burbles of the river.
“Ji Wujiong!” ng Qi shouted again. She and Ji Wujiong exited the passage one after another, only separated by one or two steps. No matter how fast Ji Wujiong was, he couldn’t disappear so quickly. Unless…
ng Qi was about to rush forward and call Ji Wujiong again when suddenly, her shoulder was patted by soone. She imdiately sighed in relief. The corner of her lips slightly raised as she turned around and said: “You suddenly disappear. It really freaks out. This place looks so peaceful and tranquil, but you said before that the more peaceful a place looks on the surface, the more it may—”
Her voice stopped abruptly.
The mont ng Qi turned around, her eyes fell into another pair of clear eyes——
The white-robed Yun Qingyan was standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.
