Qing Ming walked out of the room alone and came to the courtyard, there was a sycamore in the courtyard, he was on tiptoe, and the whole person jumped on the branch in an instant.

He is used to standing on a high place, because his feet off the ground can give him a sense of security, and for him, standing on a high place means being one step closer to the sky.

I don't know when he started to get tired of Hongchen, there are too many worries and helplessness, people in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself.

Seeing through the gaps in the leaves shining down from the sky, there is a hint of warmth, and a hint of tranquility, the white clouds are drifting, the breeze is blowing, once upon a time, this feeling has been with him through his childhood,

That small Changting Continent carried too many memories and good things for him, and he didn't feel it at the time, knowing that he later wandered to this continent, and the sorrow in his heart became more and more.

Perhaps, the past time can only be buried deep in his heart, and perhaps, it has become the happiest place in his life.

"Qing Ming!" Just as he was deep in thought, a soft voice suddenly came from below. Qing Ming looked down and saw Han Piao, who was wearing a brocade robe, looking at him with a smile.

The sun shines on her face, like a flower that has bloomed for a long time, and it amazes time.

Han Piao looked at the young man in the tree, the outline was extremely clear, the sunlight shone through the cracks in his body, reflecting his immature cheeks, his white hair fluttering in the air, and the whole person seemed to be one with the surrounding environment.

Qing Ming turned over, jumped down from the tree, and stood in front of Han Piao.

"What's wrong?" asked Qing Ming.

"I'm going back to the sect with my senior sisters tomorrow!" Speaking of this, Han Piao's eyes revealed a little loneliness.

"Mmmm, that's a good thing!" Qing Ming smiled, seeing that Han Piao's face was still a little sad, he continued to comfort, "You have to cultivate hard, I can count on you to help me in the future!"

When Han Piao heard this, his spirit couldn't help but be shocked, his face suddenly disappeared, and he nodded at Qing Ming.

"Hahaha...... Don't worry, I will protect you in the future!" Han Piao patted Qing Ming's shoulder, a look of pride appeared on his face, like a golden phoenix, and raised her head high.

Qing Ming couldn't help but laugh in her heart when she saw her like this, after all, she was still the unscrupulous girl.

......

During the cultivation period, Xiang Ji followed Gu Ji to see Qing Ming once, Gu Ji still looked unruly, seeing Qing Ming ignoring her, she would not take the initiative to talk to her, but Xiang Ji, one pulled Qing Ming and said this and that, Qing Ming repeatedly said that he had no problem, and Xiang Ji shut up.

Qing Ming was surprised that Xiang Ji didn't talk much before, and after staying with Gu Ji for a long time, he began to talk more, Qing Ming was still defensive of Gu Ji in his heart, he always felt that the woman in front of him was not simple, but he couldn't see how different she was, maybe it was just an illusion, Qing Ming thought in his heart.

"Qing Ming, after a while, it will be the day when Shengyuan Academy beckons students, Gu Ji and I want to go to Shengyuan Academy to study, do you want to come with me?" Xiang Ji looked at Qing Ming expectantly and said.

"Shengyuan Academy?" Qing Ming was shocked in his heart, he was naturally the name of the Shengyuan Academy, it was the oldest academy in the Shengyuan Empire, and it even existed here earlier than the Shengyuan Empire, there was a rumor that when the Li royal family established the empire here, it was in the name of the Shengyuan Academy that the Shengyuan Empire was established.

Even Xuanzong, the largest sect in the empire, had to give the Shengyuan Academy three points, and it didn't dare to mess around in its area, so you can imagine how famous the Shengyuan Academy was.

There is also a theory that the Shengyuan Academy is even earlier than the three major sects of the empire, and the students who graduated from the academy are basically talents, some serve the empire, some return to their respective families to contribute to the family, and some return to the sect to serve the sect. Either way, the students there will become more or less famous figures.

Qing Ming shook his head after listening to Xiang Ji's words.

"With your current cultivation and strength, there is absolutely no problem getting in! I may be more hanging, and my age is just enough to step into its enrollment years, but I don't want to give up!" Xiang Ji clenched his fists, and a determined look appeared on his face.

"I still have some things to do, I'm afraid I won't be able to go!" Qing Ming smiled at Xiang Ji.

Xiang Ji was stunned, he didn't expect Qing Ming to answer so simply, but after thinking about it again, with his current cultivation level, he might not really need to go to Shengyuan Academy to study.

"Hey, that's a pity, no matter what, this one is for you!" Xiang Ji finished speaking and handed Qing Ming something like a parchment, and Qing Ming took it and looked at it, it was the enrollment profile of Shengyuan Academy.

"Three months later is the day of enrollment of Shengyuan Academy, enrollment lasts for three days, Shengyuan Academy only enrolls students once in four years, you can consider it again. Xiang Ji began to speak again.

Qing Ming nodded, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

"Silly big man, don't pay attention to him, someone may not know that you are for his good! Let's go!" On the side, Gu Ji gave Qing Ming a roll of his eyes, and pulled Xiang Ji out of the courtyard gate, Xiang Ji did not forget to remind Qing Ming to think about it when he left.

Just after the two disappeared from Qing Ming's sight, Xiao Luo and Ling Xi also came out of the room, and Xiao Luo showed an anxious look on his face at this time, and asked Qing Ming for help with an innocent face.

Qing Ming was puzzled, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Qingming, you must persuade Sister Lingxi, she refuses to go back to the South China Sea with me!" Xiaoluo's face showed a sad expression, and Lingxi lowered her head embarrassedly when she saw her say this in front of Qingming.

"Yes, we should go back! I feel our companions calling us, presumably our team was separated by the storm last time, and now it is estimated that we have regrouped" Xiaoluo calmed down "It's too dangerous to make this place, so we want to go back to the depths of the South China Sea as soon as possible, back to our hometown!"

Qing Ming nodded, Xiao Luo was indeed reasonable, he originally planned to send Lingxi to the capital of commerce and trade, where he might be able to find Lingxi's kind, and send Lingxi back with him. didn't expect Xiaoluo to know how to go back, so he didn't need to go so much trouble to find the commercial capital.

"Lingxi, you are so obedient, follow Xiaoluo home!" Qing Ming walked to Lingxi's side, touched her head, and said dotingly.

Lingxi raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, but none of them remained, and her face was full of grievances.

"But I want to follow Brother Qingming!"

"I'm going to do something very dangerous, and if you follow me, you're in danger too!" Qing Ming smiled.

"I'm not afraid!" Lingxi said firmly.

"But I'm afraid! I'm afraid that Lingxi won't be able to grow up healthily, and if she can't learn her skills well, she won't be able to help me in the future!" Qing Ming looked at Lingxi and said, "I still expect you to help me in the future, and you can come to me after you learn the skills!"

Lingxi felt that what Qing Ming said was also reasonable, and she also knew that she couldn't keep following Qing Ming to drag him back.

Although reluctantly, he nodded helplessly.
