Chapter 13: Master
"Fan Ming !!"
Just when Ji Fan and the others were rejoicing at Fan Ming's victory, a terrible woman screamed suddenly from among the disciples of Yunfeng Academy in front of them, with an extremely strong hatred, and many disciples who were about to leave were very interested and stopped to watch.
Approaching, the disciples of Yunfeng Academy separated, and walked out from Zhongyun Yunyun, her willow eyebrows were frowned, her apricot eyes were bloodshot, her expression was cold and terrifying, and she was followed by a disciple of Yunfeng Academy, and she walked quickly towards Fan Ming.
Fan Ming smiled indifferently, calmly responded, stood there straight, not surprised, quite a person alone to block thousands of troops.
Ji Fan, Li Qi, Yue Qing, and Zhang Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward and stood beside Fan Ming to confront the disciples of Yunfeng Academy to prevent the group from attacking.
The atmosphere in the arena instantly became tense, Yun Yun pointed at Fan Ming with trembling fingers, and screamed fiercely: "Fan Ming! You are so ruthless! How can there be such a vicious disciple as you in Juexinmen!
Everyone in the audience was stunned, and then shook their heads again, the fact is that everyone saw it, Yun Fei took the initiative to attack, and Fan Ming knocked him out of self-preservation, all of which is understandable.
"Enlightenment is a righteous place, and those who act like you should be expelled!"
"The means are so dirty, how can there be such a ruthless disciple as you in Tianqing Academy!"
"Our senior brother has something to do, and my Yunfeng Academy will never die with you!"
The disciples of Yunfeng Academy were righteous and awe-inspiring, and they crusaded fiercely, Zhang Qing'er glared, and was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he was stopped by Yue Qing, and finally stomped his feet in dissatisfaction.
Fan Ming smiled slightly, his eyelids raised slightly, swept over her and the blood-red Yunfeng Academy disciple behind her, looked at Yun Yun and pointed at his fingers, and said with a gentle smile: "Please take your hand back, if you still want it, remember that this is on the martial arts stage, what you are doing now, according to the rules, I can regard it as a provocation." ”
He didn't give any explanation, and opened his mouth to threaten directly, but this simple sentence surprisingly achieved an effect. Yun Yun hurriedly put down his fingers, and the disciples of Yunfeng Academy behind him also reflexively took a step back, because according to the rules, the party that was provoked on the martial arts stage could make a move without a bottom line! Even if the provocative party was killed, it would be understandable!
Yun Lie on the side frowned at all this, slowly lowered his arm, and was about to speak.
"Whew!"
At this time, there was a sudden rainbow in the sky, and a person appeared in everyone's sight, and everyone looked at it, only to see that it was an old man, who looked like he was fifty or sixty years old, he was long, his skin was fair, his eyes were like knives, although his hair was gray, but the years did not leave too many traces on his face.
Ji Fan's pupils shrank, and he turned out to be the master of Yunfeng Academy, Yunsheng.
"Cloud Courtyard Master. Seeing the visitor, several people hurriedly politely surrendered their hands, but Yunsheng ignored it, and his expression was extremely indifferent.
"Master!" The disciples of Yunfeng Academy instantly rushed forward and shouted as if they had seen a savior.
"Master, he Tianqing Academy doesn't know what insidious tricks he used, and he seriously injured Senior Brother!" Seeing Yun Sheng, Yun Yun's eyes immediately turned red, and the disciples of Yunfeng Academy were gloomy, as if they had been greatly wronged, and they glanced at Ji Fan and them with blood-red eyes, as if they had a revenge for killing their father.
"Fair competition, you can really sow discord and play right and wrong!" Zhang Qing'er frowned, and her angry little chest continued to rise and fall. The onlookers also nodded in agreement, looking at the people of Yunfeng Academy, their faces were full of disdain, but because the master of Yunfeng Academy was here, they couldn't say anything.
Yun Yun pretended to look sad, completely different from the previous shrew scolding the street, and even wiped the corners of her eyes when she saw Zhang Qing'er's expression, and her acting skills were really amazing.
"Pretend!" Ye Lin couldn't help but spit evilly.
"Humph!"
However, a few people spoke loudly but ignored the master of Yunfeng Courtyard who had just arrived, and finally provoked Yun Sheng's displeasure, only to see the master of Yunfeng Courtyard who was inspecting Yun Fei's injury glanced at a few people, very plain.
But just this ordinary glance made several people's faces turn white, Ji Fan felt that there was a kind of majesty like a mountain and a sea that overwhelmed him, as if it was choking his throat, this is not a murderous aura, but a pure deterrent from strength!
After a long time, several people were amnesty, their tense nerves were suddenly relaxed, and they inhaled heavily, but cold sweat was already all over their bodies.
Yun Sheng was still checking Yun Fei's injuries, and several people were silent, but there was a kind of anger in their hearts, as a respected elder of the sect, he threatened them like this, is this bullying them that there are no elders in the sect?
"This old guy is really a raccoon dog......"
Zhang Qing'er seemed to have lost all her strength, and her slender and boneless slump softened, Ji Fan hurriedly hugged her, Zhang Qing'er glanced at him, and smiled lightly on her pale pretty face, Ji Fan was a little distressed, her palm was clenched, and she suddenly missed her master and senior brother, and she didn't know how long it would take for them to come back.
"Let's go. ”
After Yun Sheng checked Yun Fei's injuries, he looked like an ancient well without waves, his expression could not show joy, anger and sorrow, and he was so indifferent that it made people feel chills in his heart.
Yunfeng Courtyard and his party left, and Yun Fei, who had fainted, was carried by a disciple, and when he left, Yun Yun ripped off the golden coat of arms on Yun Fei's chest and threw it over, and was grabbed by Fan Ming.
This represents the identity of the core disciples, and it is also the trophy of their trip.
Yun Lie and the others looked at them very resentfully, and then left angrily, a few people didn't mind, anyway, they had long been accustomed to the narrowness of Yunfeng Courtyard.
"Scattered, scattered. In the distance, a disciple who was watching a good show was waiting for him to leave.
"Today, the ninth core disciple changed hands, I really didn't expect Fan Ming to succeed in the challenge. ”
"Tianqing Academy's counterattack is really sharp, this time Yunfeng Academy is the only one without a core disciple, and its reputation has plummeted. ”
"Hey, Tianqing Academy originally had one of the strongest disciples in the sect, Ye Lang, and now there is an additional core disciple, and the status of Tianqing Academy is estimated to be difficult for anyone to shake. ”
"It's a place of outstanding people, although the disciple Liao Ruochenxing, but each one is outstanding......"
"That's not true, I heard that the youngest disciple in their academy is a person with dull qualifications, and it took so many years to cultivate to the third stage of spiritual energy......
"And such miracles? I have never heard of them. ”
"Yes, I still heard what the people from Yunfeng Academy said, but that disciple has always been low-key and lived in a simple place, so it is reasonable that you haven't heard of it, senior brother. ”
The Yanwu Hall was soon empty, and the disciples of the various academies were noisy and shouting, and the topics they talked about were naturally Yunfeng Academy and Tianqing Academy, and occasionally Ji Fan was involved, but this was all unknown to him.
Ji Fan and his entourage of six people did not leave with the crowd, they were in a good mood, in this clear mountain and beautiful mountains, quite leisurely and leisurely to enjoy the flowers and scenery, to dispel the depression in their hearts during this time, and it can be regarded as a small celebration of today's victory.
...
Here is a pleasant scenery of the valley of flowers, it is spring, there are yellow flowers everywhere, a few stout old trees are scattered among the flowers, the breeze is light, the flowers and leaves are swaying like the tide ebb and flow, there is a charming fragrance, everyone is intoxicated to breathe, and then rush into it with great interest, swim back and forth in this sea of flowers, and never get tired of it. It wasn't until a long time that the six of them sat on a slope and admired the gradual desire of the flowers, peaceful and peaceful.
"Senior brother, how did you stop Yun Fei's Yun Ling Explosion?" Ye Linqi said.
"That's also an advanced spell, I got it by accident. Fan Ming smiled and groaned, and his explanation was very vague, and everyone felt that he seemed to be a little embarrassed, so they didn't ask any further.
"Senior brother, you will be a core disciple in the future, if someone wants to bully me, you have to cover it!"
Zhang Qing'er sat next to Fan Ming, her clear eyes reflected the sea of flowers in front of her, and suddenly she turned her head, the corners of her mouth were curved, and her dimples were looming, looking playful and lovely.
Fan Ming showed a doting gaze, the girl's personality was lively and active, her face was beautiful, and her smile was very pleasing.
"Thinking about the face of the Yunfeng Courtyard when he left at the end, it was really refreshing!" Ye Lin was also overjoyed, and he came over and imitated Xia Yunlie's face, which made everyone laugh.
"If the master comes back and hears that there is another core disciple under the sect, his face must be very strange!" Li Qi made a rare joke, his smile was very stiff all year round, Ji Fan always felt that he was somewhat similar to the master, they were all the same cold, and people did not dare to get close.
"I don't know if it's exciting, but I guess we're going to be reprimanded again. Yue Qing spread his hands lazily, and everyone was helpless when they heard this.
In the evening, as long as their senior brothers advanced, Ye Hong would reprimand others by the way while praising them, not to mention that this time it was Fan Ming who entered the core disciple position.
"Ahem...... Qi'er, Qing'er, Qing'er, Fan'er, look at your senior brother and second senior brother, why haven't they grown?!" At this time, Ye Lin jumped in front of everyone, and imitated Ye Hong's tone in an old-fashioned manner to 'reprimand' everyone, and after speaking, he also reprimanded his beard, and Yue Qing immediately slapped him on the back of the head.
"Stinky boy, dare to imitate the master and beg for a beating!"
"Be careful, when the master comes back, I'll report you!" Zhang Qing'er said deliberately.
"Ah, no, little ancestor, I was wrong!" Ye Lin hurriedly stepped forward to beg, but Zhang Qing'er ran into the sea of flowers, her laughter was crisp and tactful, quirky, and her skirt brushed over the flowers and leaves, which was extremely moving.
Ji Fan watched the two of them play in the sea of flowers, full of smiles, but the smile revealed an unnaturalness.
When Ye Lin imitated Ye Hong calling his name, his mind was a little difficult to understand, and in his impression, Ye Hong had never urged him, and even called him by his name very few times.
However, he also knew very well in his heart that Ye Lin probably brought himself with him in order not to hurt him.
Ji Fan looked at the playful Ye Lin, his heart was warm, Ye Lin seemed to be very aggressive, but in fact, he was thick and thin, but he was a person with a heart, in this cold world, there were six or seven people who thought about him so much, he knew enough.
It wasn't until the remnants of the sun that everyone returned to the sect.
From afar, I saw an old man over sixty years old standing at the gate of Tianqing Courtyard, dressed in a gray robe, with gray hair and a clear face. Maybe it's because of the long-term frowning, and two deep marks are carved between the eyebrows, giving people a very serious and sharp feeling.
This is actually a long time away from the sect, their master, Ye Hong, the master of Tianqing Academy!
"Master!"
The six of them were in a hurry, this was the first instinctive reaction after seeing the old man, but after reacting, it was instantly full of surprises, only Ji Fan saw that the old man's eyes were a little dodgy, and he seemed to be very nervous, and followed everyone to meet him at the end.
Ye Hong stood with his hands in his hands, his gray clothes were old but very neat, and when he saw a few disciples, he just nodded without sadness or joy. Everyone doesn't mind, the two are also masters and fathers, although Ye Hong always has a look of rejection from thousands of miles away, and treats them very harshly, but this does not affect their closeness to them.
"Master, senior brother?" Ye Lin glanced at the courtyard and asked suspiciously. At this time, everyone also found that Ye Hong was alone, and looked at Ye Hong questioningly.
"Your senior brother is still training at the foot of the mountain, and it will take some time to come back. ”
"That's it......" Several people were suddenly disappointed, and Ji Fan performed the most.
"In the days when the teacher was away, did you hide quietly?" Ye Hong's slightly deep voice was as flat as water.
"Without a master, the apprentice is tireless every day, and he does not dare to be lazy. Several people were sincerely frightened and expressed their fears.
"Well, very good, several of you are not weakly talented, and you should follow your example as an example, understand?"
His voice was cold and solemn, but it was gentle, his eyes swept over Li Qi, Yue Qing, Ye Lin and Zhang Qing'er, and he withdrew his gaze before Ji Fan arrived, Ji Fan saw it in his eyes, and suddenly felt as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, his heart was very messy, he pursed his lips tightly and his body trembled slightly.
"Yes, master. Several people responded, Zhang Qing'er stuck out her tongue, she was talented, she just traded her diligent time for fun.
"Master. ”
Ye Hong seemed to want to turn around and leave after explaining, but was stopped by several people, and in an instant a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and when he turned around, the lines between his eyebrows were slightly deeper, and the fierce color was even more prominent.
"What else?"
Ji Fan, Ye Lin and the others lowered their eyebrows and didn't dare to look at them directly, Fan Ming took a step forward, arched his hands and hugged his fists and said, "The disciple is promoted to the core disciple today!"
"Oh?" there seemed to be some surprise in his cold and hard voice, and his subtle expression could not be seen clearly under the darkness, and he asked in a flat voice, "Who did you defeat?"
"Yunfeng Academy, core disciple Yun Fei. Fan Ming replied seriously.
"Well, that's good. Ye Hong nodded, and his calm voice came out with praise, which made people feel very weird, but fortunately, everyone was also used to this kind of cold silence without emotion.
"The competition among the core disciples is fierce, and we will redouble our efforts in the future. ”
"Yes. ”
"Alright, let's go about it. ”
After saying just one word, Ye Hong turned around and entered the Tianqing Courtyard, Ji Fan peeked at Fan Ming, and found that his expression changed slightly, and he didn't know what kind of emotion it was.
This master has always been so indifferent to everyone, sometimes kind and sometimes cold, and his mood is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but judging from today's performance, his mood does not seem to be so high, of course, among this crowd, the unexpected does not include him.
Ye Hong's return made everyone not dare to frolic, and Tianqing Courtyard returned to its former calm.
However, for Ji Fan, there was a kind of dead silence here, he sat at the window, staring at the shining lights of the washer, sighed for a moment, meditated, and entered the cultivation state as the sky darkened.
