Chapter 21 Ask the Celestial Pavilion again
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Unaware of the passing of time in the mountains, Pei Jing spent several months at Yinghui Peak, but he still couldn’t grasp the intricacies of worldly affairs. The seven emotions and six desires sound simple when spoken of, but putting them into practice proved to be challenging. After all, most of the time, emotions merely skimmed the surface, unable to reach the depths of his soul. Moreover, he usually found himself being the one who provoked others.
On the monthly rest day for Outer Peak disciples, Pei Jing decided to pay another visit to the Celestial Pavilion.

His unanswered questions had been lingering for quite some time, and perhaps there were other explanations awaiting him.
Arriving at the Wenqing Peak to meet Chen Xu, Pei Jing noticed the distorted expression on Chen Xu’s face, ready to send him away.
Pei Jing: “Hear me out before dismissing me. This time, it won’t trouble you much. I will go as Zhang Yiming, and you just need to guide me to the Book Collection Pavilion.”
The Book Collection Pavilion only allowed cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage or above to enter. If Pei Jing were to go as a new Outer Peak disciple, he would need someone to vouch for him.
Chen Xu had been traumatized by his last encounter, truly falling into a psychological shadow cast by Pei Jing.
Being locked inside the Celestial Pavilion and facing an angry Elder Lou, the memories still sent chills down his spine. He replied with a cold face, “I won’t go.”
“Please reconsider. Do you want me to suffer a humiliating defeat against Feng Jin, a little brother, in the next Trial?”
Chen Xu sneered, “A single strike is not a problem for you, or so you claim.”
Pei Jing: “A few months ago, I went to the Ghost Realm and met Ji Wuduan. He also reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. One must maintain a sense of crisis. Overconfidence is not advisable.”
He raised an eyebrow, “If Feng Jin defeats me once, with his temperament, I don’t know how many years he’ll boast about it. It will definitely become a shadow over my life.”
Chen Xu immediately knew that Pei Jing was talking nonsense. They had grown up together, and he understood him well. The only person who could make Pei Yuzhi bow his head in submission, besides their Master, was probably the founder of the Institute of Celestial Ascension. However, Chen Xu had a kind-hearted nature and, after being pestered by Pei Jing for a while, reluctantly agreed with a stern face. As they walked out, he retorted, “I actually hope someone can defeat you. You said Feng Jin needs to temper his character, but I think it’s you who needs the most tempering. You conveniently ignore the words of the founder at the Institute of Celestial Ascension?”
Pei Jing listened and inwardly rejoiced. A defeat was all he wished for. However, since he was asking a favor from someone, he refrained from speaking those words aloud.
Recalling the countless words spoken by the founder at the Institute of Celestial Ascension, it was difficult for him to pinpoint which one Chen Xu was referring to.
Amidst the vast Yunxiao Mountains, where summer and autumn intertwined, there was a path leading to the front of the mountain. The frost-touched leaves blushed with a tinge of red, resembling a cluster of crimson clouds scattered among the forest from afar.
