The young man in white looked at Chen Qingyuan with a calm gaze, stopped walking forward for the moment, and slowly shook his head, saying, "The assessment period has arrived. You can't be late."
"Can't you make an exception?" Chen Qingyuan begged again.
"The rules of the academy cannot be broken. If you are half a moment late, you will lose your qualification for the entrance assessment." The young man in white rejected Chen Qingyuan's request and explained the seriousness of the matter.
"But..." Chen Qingyuan hesitated and didn't know what to do.
After thinking for a while, Chen Qingyuan changed his approach: "Senior, can you let me have a word with a friend? It definitely won't waste time. I promise."
"Okay." If Chen Qingyuan passed the assessment, he would be a member of the Dao - Yi Academy. Considering the possible fellow - student relationship, the young man in white nodded in agreement.
As long as it doesn't delay the business, it's okay to let Chen Qingyuan say goodbye to his friend.
"Please let me regain my mobility, senior." There was a hint of joy on Chen Qingyuan's face.
Buzz! The young man in white flicked his finger at Chen Qingyuan's body and removed the restriction.
Immediately after, Chen Qingyuan took out the strand of sound - transmission law with Wu Junyan and said, "Old Wu, come over here."
Wu Junyan, who was standing at the foot of Xuanqing Sect Mountain, heard the familiar voice, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Chen Qingyuan's voice? Why isn't he inside Xuanqing Sect?
With this doubt, Wu Junyan followed the guidance of the sound transmission and went to a deep mountain near Xuanqing Sect.
"Where did Wu Junyan go?" The cultivators around started to stir, finding that Wu Junyan suddenly went in a certain direction without knowing the situation.
After entering the deep mountain, the young man in white sealed this void, and outsiders couldn't use their spiritual sense to investigate.
"Why are you here?" Wu Junyan saw Chen Qingyuan standing under a big tree, frowned, and questioned.
"Well... it's very complicated to explain. I'll talk to you slowly later. I came to see you now to tell you that our battle probably needs to be postponed." Chen Qingyuan smiled awkwardly as he said this.
It wasn't that he wanted to break the appointment, but he had no choice!
Chen Qingyuan had been preparing hard all these years and never expected such a situation. The people from the Dao - Yi Academy really came at an opportune time, just two days before the two were supposed to fight.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Wu Junyan's eyes became sharp, emitting a cold light, and the temperature around suddenly dropped.
"Old Wu, I'm sorry about this. I will definitely have a good fight with you in the future. If you're not happy, we can fight a few more times until you're satisfied." Chen Qingyuan actually wanted to fight Wu Junyan at the same realm to fulfill this wish. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. It was really bad timing.
"Chen Qingyuan, you should know what kind of person I am. A promise I made is more important than my life." Wu Junyan's face became extremely cold, his tone was sharp, and he exuded extremely strong coercion.
Last time, when Chen Qingyuan was in danger and couldn't fulfill the battle appointment, Wu Junyan could understand and forgave him. This time, Chen Qingyuan was about to break the appointment again, and Wu Junyan couldn't bear it. He was extremely angry.
"I understand. That's why I planned to have a good fight with you, but who knew there would be another change. Alas!" To be honest, Chen Qingyuan felt bad and guilty.
"Change? Is that your excuse?" Wu Junyan didn't believe it.
"Really, I have no reason to lie to you!" Chen Qingyuan nodded heavily, indicating that what he said was true.
"Heh." Wu Junyan sneered.
"If I wanted to run away, why would I send a sound transmission to you?" Seeing that Wu Junyan didn't believe him, Chen Qingyuan explained.
"You're full of tricks. Who knows if you're just pretending?" Hearing that Chen Qingyuan couldn't fulfill the battle appointment this time, Wu Junyan was directly angered and didn't believe a word Chen Qingyuan said.
Just as Chen Qingyuan was about to explain properly, a cold voice came from not far away: "It's time. We should go."
Who? When Wu Junyan came just now, he didn't find any trace of a third person. He could only see Chen Qingyuan. The sudden voice made Wu Junyan's heart sink suddenly, his whole body tense, and he became extremely vigilant.
The young man in white had been standing beside Chen Qingyuan all along, just using mysterious techniques to hide his body and conceal his breath.
"Senior, can you give me a little more time?" Chen Qingyuan turned to look at the young man in white.
"There's no time. I can't." It wasn't that the young man in white was unkind, but there really wasn't much time left. They had to go to the Dao - Yi Academy as soon as possible to avoid delaying important matters.
As he said this, the young man in white revealed his body, and Wu Junyan finally saw him.
"Who are you?" Wu Junyan looked at the young man in white who suddenly appeared, and his soul trembled inexplicably, giving an extremely dangerous signal. Even so, Wu Junyan remained calm, and there was no sign of fear on his face.
The young man in white glanced at Wu Junyan but didn't answer.
Just with a glance, Wu Junyan's body suddenly felt heavy, as if he was being pressed by countless huge mountains, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Old Wu, you can understand my difficulties!" Chen Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
How could such a terrifying figure appear in the Fuliu Star Field?
Wu Junyan tried his best to raise his head and remember the general figure of the young man in white in his heart, feeling a great shock inside.
"I can understand, but you still broke your promise." The first half of Wu Junyan's words made Chen Qingyuan feel somewhat touched, thinking that the matter could be resolved peacefully.
The second half of the sentence made Chen Qingyuan's heart tighten and feel a little uneasy: "The next time we meet, I won't give you any excuses. When we meet again, it will be the time for a battle."
"It's not my fault! Don't hold a grudge against me." Chen Qingyuan was very helpless.
Staring deeply at Chen Qingyuan, Wu Junyan didn't say a word.
Swish! The young man in white didn't want to waste time, pointed at Chen Qingyuan, and disappeared.
In the deep mountain, only Wu Junyan was left, and the inexplicable terrifying pressure slowly disappeared.
After taking a few breaths, Wu Junyan looked into the distance with firm eyes: "When we meet again, there will be a battle."
Such a terrifying existence was indeed beyond Chen Qingyuan's ability to resist.
However, although Wu Junyan understood, he was still angry.
A promise must not be broken. This was Wu Junyan's belief in his life.
After resting for a while, Wu Junyan quietly left the Fuliu Star Field, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The cultivators from various star fields were still waiting for Chen Qingyuan to appear, expecting him to fight Wu Junyan.
However, when the appointed battle day arrived, both of them disappeared, leaving countless people confused and at a loss.
"Senior brother, where did the junior brother go?" The elders stared at Lin Changsheng, their faces full of worry.
