Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

A black lightning flashed down, and a charred, smoking carbon man was formed.

Qin Xiao watched the dark-skinned young man opposite him slowly fall to the ground, groaning in pain.

"I surrender."

After he finished speaking, Qin Xiao slowly approached, squatted down, looked at Yun Qi, who had been hit by the sword and couldn't recover for a long time, patted his forehead, and his vitality seeped down to help him repair his skin.

"Is your physique a little too weak?" Qin Xiao asked.

Yun Qi felt as if a knife had stabbed his heart: "I——"

"Speed ​​isn't good either. Aren't you a wind type?"

Another knife hit his knee: "But——"

"I have just reached the lower level of Chen Realm, why is it so low?"

A bullet hit his head: "Ah..."

"I'm sorry, I'm a waste." Yun Qi shed two lines of tears and confessed.

Qin Xiao: ...

"I didn't mean that..." Qin Xiao touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Yun Qi didn’t stay lost for too long and got up after a while.

"Are you... in the Xuan realm now?"

On the way back to the dormitory, Yun Qi asked him.

"It should be." Qin Xiao looked at the palm of his hand, "I'm just not sure which stage it is."

Yun Qi nodded thoughtfully.

Not long after, Qin Xiao prepared to go find Qin Jichen again and separate from him.

Yun Qi didn’t know what he was going to do, nor did he have any intention of exploring, so he returned to the dormitory.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt a chill.

"Yun Qi...you are very close to that evil cultivator."

I heard my roommate's slightly cold words behind me. I turned around and found that the two people who disappeared from time to time had come back. They were sitting on my bed, looking me up and down.

"……well enough?"

Yun Qi hesitated, not knowing what they wanted to do.

"Are you okay? Yun Qi, do your parents know about this?"

Another person suddenly spoke. He was Yun Qi’s cousin whom he had met several times.

Yun Qi had only met his cousin a few times. They were not closely related by blood and their impression of each other was very shallow, but his cousin was more familiar with his parents and often told them about his recent situation.

"Why do I want my parents to know this?" Yun Qi looked at him, puzzled.

"Do I even need to ask this? He is an evil cultivator after all..." The cousin looked at him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes, "Have you forgotten that your parents hate evil cultivators the most?"

When this was mentioned, Yun Qi paused obviously, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes became complicated.

Seeing this, the cousin slowed down his voice a little: "I don't mean to blame you, I just want you to see the current situation clearly. We..."

When Qin Xiao returned to the dormitory, he was surprised to find the other two people there. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't react. He sat on the bed, feeling a little depressed.

Didn't see it again.

Although not surprising...

Qin Xiao's eyes were dark and his brows were furrowed. He glanced at Yun Qi and found that he looked a little strange.

For the next day, Yun Qi didn't talk to him again. He could clearly sense that he was deliberately distancing himself from him. The few times they missed each other, he could see hesitation in his eyes.

Although Qin Xiao felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it, nor did he want to delve into it further. He just spent the day quietly by himself.

The competition was about to begin, and Qiao Zhinan was counting the number of participants. Qin Xiao had found her and asked her if he could participate, but received a negative answer.

"Because your situation is rather special, so..."

Although Qiao Zhinan didn't say it explicitly, Qin Xiao already understood.

He stood in silence for a while, nodded and left.

I went to find Qin Jichen again, but still no response.

At night, Qin Xiao sat quietly on the eaves of the pavilion beside the waterfall, half lying on the tiles, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

He was kind of... bored.

Qin Xiao sighed, feeling a little tired.

These days, he encountered a lot of strange looks. Apparently the news had spread, and almost all of his classmates knew about him. In the afternoon, he even received an inexplicable call from a group of people who wanted to duel with him.

Qin Xiao refused, of course. But the group was unwilling to give up and wanted to attack. Qin Xiao dodged them one by one, did not respond, and ran away without looking back.

"...I kind of understand how you felt at that time."

As soon as the call was connected, Mo Hanyu heard Qin Xiao murmur these words.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Mo Hanyu asked vigilantly.

"...Nothing." Qin Xiao was silent for a moment and decided not to tell Mo Hanyu about the situation here. Anyway, Mo Hanyu had no solution and could only get angry in vain.

"How have you been recently? Does your college have an entrance competition?" Qin Xiao changed the subject.

"Well... should it be considered?" Mo Hanyu hesitated for a moment and replied, "Our college is a little different from the normal ones... there are very few students."

Qin Xiao: "Oh?"

"Well... now including me, there are only nine students in total." Mo Hanyu's voice was a little weak when he said this, as if he was afraid that he would be unhappy, and he quickly added, "But Yin Xihui and the others are all here."

"...Oh?" Qin Xiao was surprised, "He..."

"Yes."

Mo Hanyu lowered his voice: "According to him, his mother still forbade him to go to school, and even put him on the blacklist of all Lei Ting colleges."

"So absolute?"

"Yeah... so he thought since he couldn't find it in Lei Ting, it didn't matter where he went, so he came here with Qiu Puryue."

"So, this academy you attend is——"

"Yes." Mo Hanyu did not hide anything and said calmly, "It's what we talked about before, an academy that is not affiliated with any country."

"You're doing well there?"

"...I feel it's okay." Mo Hanyu smiled, "Among the nine of us, there are two natural evil cultivators and one corpse binder. In fact, there were evil cultivators who wanted to come in before, but they were driven out because of their impure thoughts and bad intentions. Those who touched the bottom line were killed directly."

"How is it? Do you find it interesting?" Mo Hanyu said with a smile.

"...Not bad." Qin Xiao lowered his eyes, "Quite comfortable."

"After all, it's built in the mountains..."

Qin Xiao chatted with Mo Hanyu for a few more words, sat for a while after hanging up the phone, returned to the dormitory, and stared at his empty bed in a daze.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes, and showed a rare hint of annoyance.

Turning his head, he saw that the three of them were in the dormitory. The two boys were lying on the bed, looking straight at him, as if to provoke him. Yun Qi huddled in the quilt, not daring to say a word.

Qin Xiao stared at them for a moment and asked in a calm voice, "Who did it?"

"I don't know." The boy said without hesitation, shaking his head.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao was looking at him. The boy suddenly felt a chill on his back, and felt that he was being stared at by a wild beast. He couldn't help but stand up and take defensive actions, staring at him closely.

Qin Xiao looked at him quietly for a while, let out a breath, turned around and walked out.

calm……

Qin Xiao recited the mental method in his mind to calm himself down.

It's not worth getting angry about these.

Qin Xiao turned around and jumped onto the leafy tree canopy, found an open space, sat down on a branch, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

I used to sleep in trees all the time, so it doesn’t matter if I do it again now.

Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, his mood calmed down again, he leaned back against the tree trunk, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

As a result, I was late the next day.

Qin Xiao appeared in front of Qi Yulang with a sleepy face. Looking at this man, he wondered for the first time whether he had a conflict with him.

Why is it that every accident is his class?

Facing Qi Yulang's cold gaze, Qin Xiao lowered his head helplessly and scratched his neck.

He also didn't expect that his biological clock would be inaccurate.

I thought I could wake up the next day, but somehow I slept very soundly that night. I didn't open my eyes until the sunlight shone through the leaves.

When I looked at the time, the class had already started.

When Qin Xiao arrived, Qi Yulang had been standing on the stage and speaking for an hour. Hearing the movement at the door, he slowly turned around and looked at Qin Xiao.

"Any explanation?" Qi Yulang asked.

"……No."

Qin Xiao really felt that it was his own fault. If he had woken up earlier, he wouldn't have been late. In the end, he wasn't alert enough. Someone must have passed by the tree before class, but he didn't notice it at all...

"Okay, 50 laps." Qi Yulang was still cold and ruthless.

Qin Xiao agreed again.

He always felt that his music training class was no different from his physical training class.

Qin Xiao was running on the playground, thinking to himself.

Several times I spent time running.

Qin Xiao thought of this and sighed.

Suddenly, his eyes sharpened, he dodged the sudden wind blade and looked towards the source.

"The response was good."

A chubby boy swaggered over, followed by a few tall and thin peers.

"Are you Qin Xiao?"

Fatty raised his chin and spoke arrogantly.

"Is there something wrong?" Qin Xiao looked at the group of people calmly, frowned slightly, and confirmed that he didn't know them.

"I heard that you are a natural evil cultivator, so I'm here to challenge you." Pangdun stretched out his hand, and a thin, glowing yellow paper floated in the air and shot towards Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao raised his hand to take it, glanced at the handwriting on it, and confirmed that it was a challenge.

"I hope you can come at three o'clock this afternoon." Fatty raised his chin.

"I refuse." Qin Xiao sent the challenge back, "I won't fight you."

"Why?" Fatty was dissatisfied. "Do you think I am not inferior to you and don't have this ability?"

"...No." Qin Xiao glanced at him calmly, "I won't answer it."

"Why?!" Fatty suddenly got angry, "You look down on me?!"

"not me--"

"You evil cultivator! How dare you look down on others like this?"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao gave up communicating with them and turned around to continue running. A flash of lightning flashed across his ears, followed by a burning sensation.

Qin Xiao had to turn sideways to avoid the fireball coming from behind, and took a few steps back to look at the group of people.

"Are you guys free?" Qin Xiao was a little impatient, "Nothing else?"

"It is our job to punish evil and promote good." Fatty snorted coldly, raised his hand, a golden light flashed, a long flute appeared at his mouth, and he played it.

Qin Xiao suddenly had a strange feeling. The melody played by the boy seemed to pass through his body, tightly grasping his heart, and dancing to the strange rhythm following the strange tone.

This feeling is completely different from Qiu Puryue's.

Qin Xiao frowned and stepped forward to distance himself from him again. Before he could take a few steps back, lightning flashed from behind him and a thunder axe came straight to his neck.

Just as the axe blade was about to touch his neck, Qin Xiao disappeared, and was replaced by a black lightning that struck vertically, leaving a shallow hole.

"What do you want to do?" Qin Xiao appeared behind Pangdun and reached out to strangle him, but was stopped by the girl next to him.

As soon as they made contact, Qin Xiao realized that the girl's body was stronger and more durable than a normal person, and the muscles under her skin were tight and strong. She quickly grasped his hand and punched him with her backhand.

Qin Xiao dodged again and wanted to retreat, but his hand was tightly grasped. After a brief thought, he suddenly approached and kicked the girl in the heart, kicking her out.

The girl flew backwards for dozens of meters, twitched for a moment after landing, and then slowly stood up.

It’s really tough.

Qin Xiao looked at her and thought.

This was the result of him accidentally injecting the hidden thunder into his dantian. He was able to stand up after just a short while... His body was very strong and tough.

"I just want you to promise to get out of the academy if you lose."

Fatty turned around and said proudly.

"What if you lose?" Qin Xiao stared at him, looked at his slightly red palm, and asked coldly.

"We won't lose." The boy holding the thunder axe replied.

Qin Xiao remained silent.

"If we lose, I will drop out of school." Fatty raised his chin.

Qin Xiao remained silent.

"Hey, can you at least give me some response?" The girl panted heavily and patted her chest with lingering fear, vaguely feeling that the other party was holding back just now.

"What do you think--" Pangdun stretched out his hand to slap Qin Xiao, but the moment his palm touched Qin Xiao, he turned into a blooming thunder flower, so dazzling that he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

“…He ran away.”

"I know..." Fatty twitched his lips, his eyes turned cold, "Even if he escapes the first day, he can't escape the fifteenth. One day, I will beat him so hard that he will drop out of school."

"I hope so." The girl rubbed her wrist and said softly.

"The competition is about to start, let's talk about everything after the competition." suggested the boy who summoned the fireball.

"Of course." Fatty replied, "But...it would be nice if I could meet him in the competition."

"That's impossible... Will his mentor let him participate?"

"What if?"

"There is basically no such possibility."

"..."

Qin Xiao glanced behind him, confirmed that they were not following him, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the fighters have also come to the door.

Qin Xiao rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

But fortunately, the competition was about to start and he would not be able to participate. By then, people's attention would naturally shift away and not many people would focus on him.

Qin Xiao thought about it and nodded.

……

"What, is something wrong?"

After class, Qi Yulang packed up his things and was on his way back when he met the nervous boy in front of him and asked.

"Um... Teacher." Yun Qi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth, "Actually... Qin Xiao was late today for a reason. He——"

"But he said no." Qi Yulang interrupted him and said calmly.

Seeing this, Yun Qi was a little anxious: "But teacher, he is because--"

--not give a damn about.

"How do you know what he is thinking?" Qi Yulang asked back.

Yun Qi was silent.

Qi Yulang waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that there was no reply for a long time, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"I, I just want to explain for him..." Yun Qi's throat was so tense that it could hold an ant.

"No need." Qi Yulang interrupted again, his face expressionless, "People who don't even want to explain themselves are not qualified to be forgiven."

Yun Qi was stunned, his throat kept tightening and he couldn't speak.

Qi Yulang glanced at him and continued walking forward.

Yun Qi pursed his lips, his eyes filled with complexity and confusion.
