Ji Luo Fei wanted to calmly ask about many things to Ning Cheng once she met him. But at this moment, when she saw Ning Cheng, she couldn’t even remember what she wanted to say in the beginning. But then she saw the marriage certificate in Ning Cheng’s hand, and moreover also saw him staring at a Qi Gathering Stone in the other hand with a desolate look on his face, she had completely forgotten what she wanted to ask Ning Cheng when she came back.
“What happened? Did you just wanted to hand me the marriage certificate, and leave me alone again?” Ning Cheng gently stroked Ji Luo Fei’s hair, as his heart was filled with chaotic thoughts.
When he had just come to this world, and came to know that he was not the same person who Ji Luo Fei knew, he himself had taken the initiative to ask her to dissolve this marriage. But now, his cultivation was far higher than that of Ji Luo Fei. Moreover, now he also started to develop feelings towards Ji Luo Fei, he was a person who really cherished the people close to him. Because of this, he really did not understand why Ji Luo Fei would leave him. Similarly, when he saw Ji Luo Fei come back again, he immediately felt a lot happier.
Ji Luo Fei could feel the big and warm chest of Ning Cheng, as she suddenly reached out and touched the Qi Gathering Stone in Ning Cheng’s hands, and whispered, “You still kept this with you?”
“Yes, I will always keep it.” Ning Cheng could feel that Ji Luo Fei’s chaotic mood was finally calming down, he knew that something must have happened to Ji Luo Fei.
“I….” Ji Luo Fei did not know how to bring up that matter, she had planned to ask Ning Cheng, and even tell Ning Cheng, the fact was he already had a child, and then quickly leave. However, the moment she saw Ning Cheng, she knew that she could not separate from him.
Since she could not leave him, she did not dare to bring up that matter. She still believed that her mother would not lie to her, but she was completely unable to accept that fact. Even thinking about it made her feel terrible.
Once again feeling that Ji Luo Fei was starting to feel panicked, Ning Cheng gently patted Ji Luo Fei’s back and suddenly asked, “Did someone come to look for you?”
“How did you know?” Ji Luo Fei immediately asked Ning Cheng exposing the truth.
Ning Cheng spoke with a slight contempt in his voice, “Was it your paternal aunt who came to visit you? Did she come here to force you to marry into the Shui Clan?”
Ji Luo Fei shook her head, “No, I would rather believe in you, rather than believing in my paternal aunt. In my heart, you are much more dependable that my paternal aunt.”
“Just follow me……” Ji Luo Fei in her heart was completely dependent on Ning Cheng, and his words had already stuck to the deepest corners of her heart.
But Ning Cheng’s thoughts were much more prudent and meticulous than Ji Luo Fei’s, so when Ji Luo Fei said that she believed in him, Ning Cheng could immediately understand that the one who came looking for her was surely Xiong Qi Hua.
Only Ji Luo Fei’s mother could be much closer to her heart than her paternal aunt, only her mother could make Ji Luo Fei leave him. Moreover, he had also seen just what kind of woman Ji Luo Fei’s mother was, and even had an unpleasant experience because of it.
“Did your mother come to see you?” Ning Cheng immediately asked.
Ji Luo Fei’s entire body trembled, she quickly pushed Ning Cheng aside, and with her face completely pale she nodded and said, “Yes, it was my mother who had come to see me, she said that she had met you in the Daan Forest….”
“That’s right, I really did meet your mother back in the Daan Forest, moreover I also….” Ning Cheng wanted to tell Ji Luo Fei about the matter regarding Zhu Hong Wen and Xiong Qi Hua, but then thought that the mental blow Ji Luo Fei would receive would definitely not be a small one, as a result chose not to speak about it.
“Ning Cheng, you’re my mother’s……. how do you know her?” Ji Luo Fei was completely pale, and was trembling all over as she secretly looked at Ning Cheng. She had been looking forward to Ning Cheng saying that it was false, and that he really did not force himself on her mother. Moreover, from the deepest parts of her consciousness, she still believed that her mother would not lie to her.
Ning Cheng did not know what Xiong Qi Hua had said to Ji Luo Fei, as he sighed and said, “Luo Fei, I only saw your mother one time, but I knew that she was definitely your mother Xiong Qi Hua.”
Ji Luo Fei bursts into tears,
since you knew that she was my mother, why did you force yourself on her?
But she could not question Ning Cheng, she did not know what she should do now.
For Ji Luo Fei, the memory of her mother was deeply rooted into her, but the feeling that she was feeling right now was completely different. At this time Ji Luo Fei did not even think of what Ning Cheng said, she only wanted to go to a place where no one lived and not come out anymore. But thinking about the relations between them she just couldn’t speak out, she suddenly felt that she had become completely redundant.
Ning Cheng looked at Ji Luo Fei who had suddenly burst into tears, he really did not know how he should comfort her, and only said, “Although I knew that Xiong Qi Hua is your mother, but when I look at you face, all I can think about is that you have been manipulated by her. If your mother said that I somehow injured her, then I do not have any alternative. The reason I did not tell you that I had met your mother, was not because of guilt, and even more so not because I hurt her.”
Ning Cheng guessed that Xiong Qi Hua had quite possibly added some inflammatory details when she spoke to Ji Luo Fei, by saying that he had severely injured her, and that it would also be best for her to leave him. Even if Ning Cheng thought about it innumerable times, he would never have thought about the story created by Zhu Hong Wen. If Ji Luo Fei really had not found it difficult to let go of Ning Cheng, then Zhu Hong Wen’s plan would have undoubtedly succeeded.
“Did you really not force yourself on my mother? After you saved my mother, because of the poison, isn’t that child not yours?” Ji Luo Fei’s voice was also trembling uncontrollably, as she threw out several questions. Even before Ning Cheng answered, she thought that Ning Cheng would definitely not deceive her.
“Wait wait……” Ning Cheng quickly stopped Ji Luo Fei from asking any more questions and said, “When did I save your mother? I was just passing by Daan Forest when I found your mother living peacefully in the Daan Forest. I wasn’t even poisoned, even the toxic poison from the poisonous sand beasts don’t affect me, so how can I even be affected by common poisons? And what are you talking about children? What the hell is going on?”
After asking those questions, Ning Cheng could already guess, that perhaps Xiong Qi Hua was pregnant, and moreover told Ji Luo Fei that it was his child. If that really was the case, then she really did not deserve to be a mother.
Ji Luo Fei may be simple minded but she was definitely not a fool, so when she heard Ning Cheng’s words, she immediately knew that what her mother had spoken to her was likely to be a lie. Thinking back to how she had met her mother, how could it be a coincidence that she could find the inn where her room was. Even when she saw that her mother and that Zhu Hong Wen were together, they did not look very sad of her own father passing away, and as a result she completely understood now what was going on.
“I am sorry, I almost left you.” Ji Luo Fei could not restrain herself, and once again flung herself into Ning Cheng’s arms. For her, she would rather believe that Ning Cheng was telling the truth, and her mother had deceived her.
“When you met my mother in the Daan Forest, did you also meet Zhu Hong Wen?” As Ji Luo Fei spoke of such matters, it felt like there were countless knives stabbing in her heart again and again.
Now that she understood the truth, she finally realized the many contradictions in her mother’s words.
Ning Cheng gently stroked Ji Luo Fei’s head, he knew that Ji Luo Fei now understood what had happened. Since Ji Luo Fei now unders
tood this kind of thing, so there was no need for him to continue to speak, “Luo Fei, in my hometown there is an old saying, the child speaks for the parent, not the other way round. I won’t go into the details of this matter, but you have to remember to believe me, I really am sorry that I did not do anything for you and your parents.”
“I believe you.” Ji Luo Fei, at this moment, she had completely calmed down, other than Ning Cheng, her paternal aunt had wanted to marry her off to the Shui Clan, and her mother who she had just met, unexpectedly ended up deceiving her for an outsider. At this time in her heart, Ning Cheng was fully worth believing in. Fortunately, at that time she still believed in Ning Cheng from the depths of her heart, otherwise she would have definitely not come back again.
“Your hometown?” Ji Luo Fei was now free from other matters, and her thinking had also immediately cleared up.
Ning Cheng knew that he had to say something, he was a bit embarrassed as he scratched his head and said, “This thing is a long story, I will explain it to you slowly later.”
“En, Ning Cheng, in the future when your cultivation is high enough, can you take me to the Daan Forest to pay my respects to my father, and then we, we ….” Ji Luo Fei suddenly thought of her own face, and was unable to speak about getting married.
Ning Cheng knew what Ji Luo Fei meant, he himself wanted his own cultivation to be high enough, so that he could then look for a way back to Earth. If at that time he married, he could at least let his younger sister attend it, it would definitely be much better. Moreover, he still had a one-track mind, and that was to restore Ji Luo Fei’s appearance.
Feeling that arms of Ji Luo Fei around him getting softer and more tender, Ning Cheng could not bear it any longer and lowered his head and finally kissed Ji Luo Fei on her lips. The instant that she felt Ning Cheng’s lips touching hers, Ji Luo Fei’s mind immediately went blank. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Ning Cheng as she hugged him even more fiercely, as she clumsily kissed him back.
To them, this was their first time.

Honorary Chapter for Persona
After this incident, the veil between Ning Cheng and Ji Luo Fei completely crumbled.
If one could say that Ning Cheng before only had a sliver of a shadow of Ji Luo Fei in his heart, so when Ji Luo Fei returned without hesitation, Ji Luo Fei’s shadow was now completely and deeply imprinted in Ning Cheng’s heart. After experiencing the things with him and Tian Mu Wan, this was the first time that Ning Cheng let another woman enter the deepest parts of his heart.
With such a delightful and joyous mood, Ning Cheng even advanced from the True Condensation 2nd Level and broke through to the Early Stage of True Condensation 3rd Level. He was just consolidating his cultivation, and even did not have the time to celebrate with Ji Luo Fei, when Liu Xian from the God Wind Academy came over to seek him out.
At this time there were still seven days left out of the 10 days for the start of the second round.
“Deacon Liu, isn’t there still a few days left for the start of the second round?” Ning Cheng opened the Restrictions that he placed on the door and saw that Liu Xian had personally come, and immediately asked, feeling a bit puzzled.
Liu Xian spoke with some anxiety, “Ning Xiao Cheng, the Angry Axe Valley that was to be opened in 2 years, because of some kind of accident, something that even we do not know what happened, a few days ago we found that the Magic Mist Array Formation around it suddenly disappeared. Because the mist outside the Angry Axe Valley had cleared up, it represents that we have only a maximum of one month, before the Angry Axe Valley would be fully open officially.”
Ning Cheng frowned, he was planning to use these 2 years to get one of the quota to enter the Angry Axe Valley, now it seems that there would be no hope for that. He was just a nobody; he absolutely could not go the Angry Axe Valley by himself. However even if the Angry Axe Valley was to open in advance, why would Liu Xian come personally to tell this to him?
Ning Cheng immediately remembered, that a few days ago he and that old woman had gone into the Forbidden Cold River to search for some things, then did that mean that there was some sort of connection between the white haired old woman finding the Immortal’s Mansion and the early opening of the Angry Axe Valley? According to what the old woman had said to him, the Immortal Mansion inside the Forbidden Cold River had appeared together with the Angry Axe Valley.
“Deacon Liu, how would the Angry Axe Valley opening in advance affect the God Wind Academy?” Ning Cheng just directly asked what he did not understand.
Liu Xian just sighed and said, “It not only affects us, but affects all of us in a big way. Our God Wind Academy only recently found some good seedlings, if we were able to compete against the majority for the position of the 6 Star Academy, there would at least be a glimmer of hope for us. Now that the Angry Axe Valley suddenly opened in advance, the rest of the 5 Star Academies of the Hua Continent would also have to follow that person’s request, and as a result even the tournament would also be taking place at a much earlier date. However, if we start now, my God Wind Academy absolutely would not have any qualifications to participate in it.”
After a pause, Liu Xian said to Ning Cheng in an extremely sincere manner, “Ning Xiao Cheng, I am going to tell you the truth now. The God Wind Academy is already not worthy of its name, it is even inferior to some of the 4 Star Academies, moreover my God Wind Academy only has a single Profound Core Cultivator, and he is our Dean Zhang. Moreover, he was also seriously injured a few years ago, and still has not come out from his closed door training.”
“Deacon Liu, when I came here I was worried about a woman from the Falling Star Academy, and as a result had to change my name to Ning Xiao Cheng. But now I don’t fear her, so Deacon Liu can go ahead and call me by my real name, Ning Cheng. According to what Deacon Liu said, is the power of the God Wind Academy not even on the same level as that of the Shui Clan in the Mo Ze City?” Ning Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. The reason why he had joined the God Wind Academy, was to find a backer of sorts, if even the God Wind Academy was inferior to the Shui Clan, just what sort of backing could he expect from it?
As for the strength of the Shui Clan, Ji Luo Fei had once mentioned it to him that the Shui Clan had a Profound Core Cultivator among their ranks, which meant that its strength was not weaker than the existence of the 5 Star Academies.
“On the surface, my God Wind Academy is more formidable than the Shui Clan, but in true strength, my God Wind Academy is truly inferior to the Shui Clan. However, my God Wind Academy has been surviving for thousands of years, so we are definitely not afraid of a mere Shui Clan. Is it possible that you have offended the Shui Clan in some way?” Liu Xian had been alive for many years, so when heard the casual words of Ning Cheng, he could at least pick up one or two things.
Ning Cheng did not hide anything, and spoke about the matter regarding Ji Luo Fei.
Hearing those words, Liu Xian immediately said, “So it turns out that you were worried about this kind of trivial thing, the Shui Clan would definitely not offend my God Wind Academy for this kind of thing, but that’s a different matter, what I came to say here was about the major matters regarding the tournament of the 5 Star Academies.”
Ning Cheng had also had thought of this, the Shui Clan was after all, one of the seven great clans of the Hua Continent, and would not engage against them regarding Luo Fei. Because it was truly a small matter for them, they would definitely not offend the God Wind Academy because of this. After all Luo Fei had not agreed to any of the requests from the Shui Clan, moreover she had not even seen a single person from the Shui Clan.
“Deacon Liu, please speak freely, I will definitely do my utmost in the upcoming second round.” After Ning Cheng finally felt a bit relieved in his heart, he decide
d to fully help the God Wind Academy with the best of his abilities.
After he finished speaking, Ning Cheng felt that there was something wrong, and added another sentence, “Deacon Liu, for the Angry Axe Valley to open ahead of time, wouldn’t it also advance the schedule of the Tournament for the 5 Star Academies. Moreover, isn’t it because of the Tournament between the 5 Star Academies, would the outstanding disciples have the opportunity to enter the Angry Axe Valley?”
Liu Xian became upset, and said, “This is the thing, if after two years, even if we did not obtain the first place in the tournament, but we would at least not end up being at the very bottom. But because of this tournament starting early, the competitiveness in my God Wind Academy has already dropped a lot.”
“The Angry Axe Valley only has a quota for 20 people from across all the Lower Class Continents, out of which the 6 Star Academy, which would be elected from amongst us would have 5 quotas for itself, the second place would have 3 quotas, for the third and the fourth place, respectively, they will have 2 quotas, and the fifth place will only have a single spot. The remaining places will be separately given to the other major Sects and Clans and would be divided separately among them.”
“Deacon Liu, the tournament has not yet started, you do not have to worry about it, maybe we still might have a chance.” Ning Cheng tried to comfort him.
Liu Xian nodded before solemnly speaking, “The second round of selection for the 5 Star Academies has been cancelled, originally the top 100 of the second round, would be directly allowed to join the 5 Star Academies. Three days after the tournament between the 5 Star Academy, the 6 Star Academy would be elected from amongst us on the spot, then at the same time they will also select the 20 people who would be qualified to enter the Angry Axe Valley.”
“The Angry Axe Valley only opens just once after many years, so the amount of resources and treasures inside are simply unimaginable, even cultivators from the Intermediate Class and Advance Class Continents cannot contain themselves. But in the Lower Class Continents, the number of people allowed to enter the Angry Axe Valley are more, thus the potential for future development will be greater.”
