Hao Lianfeng shouted loudly, which made most of the Ji family members realize that the old Taoist priest in front of them was a monk in the Moon Watching Realm. No matter in terms of cultivation or prestige in Jianping City, the Ji family members present could not compare.
Thinking back to the Ji family's attitude just now, this old Taoist priest was already extremely well-mannered by not swearing. After the commotion reached this point, everyone calmed down and looked at Ji Longlin with strange eyes. If he hadn't insisted on trying, there would have been no room for maneuver between the Ji family and Shan Zong.
As the head of the family, Ji Longwei could only bite the bullet and step forward and said: "Don't worry, Taoist Priest with poor moral character, we will recycle the swords sold to you by the Ji family and pay a higher price for compensation."
He spoke so confidently that no one would think he was lying, but the timing was a little off.
Hao Lianfeng said with a cold face: "I have given you a lot of face. Ji Zibai and I are old friends. I can't argue with the younger generation. I will just think that my mountain sect is unlucky and blind. If there is a chance next time, we will Let’s talk again.”
He tried to leave, but he frightened the Ji family. If he offended Shan Zong, the Ji family's future business might not be easy. It wasn't that Shan Zong's prestige was high enough to influence the entire Longzhou, but that his Ji family's reputation was ruined from then on.
"Senior, don't be impulsive. If the price is not suitable, we can add more until you are satisfied."
Ji Longwei hurriedly walked up to Hao Lianfeng and bowed his hands in front of him. He did not dare to block him directly, otherwise he would be in vain and cause more trouble.
Hao Lianfeng said: "Are we satisfied?"
Ji Longwei saw that there seemed to be a solution to the matter, and quickly said: "Yes, you can set the price as you like."
Hao Lianfeng flicked his sleeves and swept Ji Longwei aside, "If you had said this when we entered the door, I might have agreed. It's too late now!"
Ji Longwei was so anxious that he was sweating profusely when he saw that Hao Lianfeng was not getting enough. He had no choice but to say: "Even if senior wants to leave, we have to wait for my father to come forward and have a talk."
Hao Lianfeng said: "Why? Because of his reputation as the number one in Jiujiang?"
Ji Longwei was speechless for a moment. He also felt that it was very inappropriate to use his father's friendship to prevent people from leaving, but he really had no other way.
"Hmph! Go and ask your father to come out and see if he has any enemies in Longzhou?"
Ji Longwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said immediately: "Senior, wait a moment, I will arrange for someone to ask father to come out."
The Ji family immediately mobilized and ran to the backyard in a mighty manner. Only the four Ji family brothers and Ji Wenhong were left to stay with Shan Zong and stabilize everyone.
…
When Ji Wenyi heard Grandpa Xu calling him over, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and made up his mind to let Grandpa come out.
He entered the backyard and passed through a corridor. In front of a pond, there was an old man with white beard and hair and an extremely rosy complexion. It was Xu Zilai. But Ji Wenyi looked carefully and didn't see his grandfather. The corridor of lessons can go on for a long time, and grandpa may be staying somewhere in front. Ji Wenyi did not stop, but continued to move forward.
The old man with white hair and a boyish face turned around and looked at him with a half-smile as he hit a barrier, and said, "Didn't Xuan Mingdao tell you that monks in the Moon Watching Realm in the world don't see people with their eyes?"
Ji Wenyi saw that the barrier was really thick and that he could not break through it with his current cultivation level, so he had no choice but to turn around and replied: "Of course I said it, but my senior brother also said that the Moon-Watching Realm is not omnipotent, so I have to go try it."
Xu Zilai was startled for a moment, "Your senior brother is right, there are limits and loopholes in the Moon-Watching Realm, but you shouldn't think that you can also find my loopholes. Your realm is far from enough."
Ji Wenyi held on to the railing of the corridor, jumped next to Xu Zibai, and said, "Grandpa Xu asked me to come in just to tease me?"
Xu Zilai looked at Ji Wenyi carefully, with great joy on his face, "Yes, yes, Xuan Ming Dao is indeed a great sect in the world. The method of training disciples is extremely good. Even the little troublemaker has become so promising." .”
Ji Wenyi originally wanted to inquire about his grandfather, but when he heard this, he said with great pride: "What does this mean? My skills were all taught by my senior brothers and sisters, and I haven't officially become a disciple yet."
Xu Zilai stroked his beard and said, "Grandpa Xu, you know a little about Xuan Ming Dao. It seems that your current cultivation level has not completely resonated with the world and has not reached the standard of becoming a disciple of Xuan Ming Dao. What I am curious about is that you are among the disciples of Xuan Ming Dao. Do you qualify?"
Ji Wenyi said with some embarrassment: "I just got out of the last place not long ago, and now I am the second to last."
"Oh? How about the last one with the qualification?"
Ji Wenyi thought for a while, "It's very good and very bad."
Xu Zilai smiled for a while and said, "Is that good or bad?"
Ji Wenyi found it a bit difficult to explain, so he just said: "He is extremely talented but cannot use magic weapons."
Xu Zilai said: "This is really a freak. If the elders of Xuan Ming Dao accept him as a disciple, there should be a solution. So is he overtaken by you because of his limited talent?"
Ji Wenyi said: "What is Grandpa Xu thinking? He is my junior brother, and he has just joined the profession for less than a year."
Xu Zilai clicked his tongue after hearing this, and after holding it in for a long time, he said: "Xuanming Dao is really powerful, and all the disciples it accepts are extremely talented."
Ji Wenyi didn't have time to continue chatting, he asked: "Where is my grandfather?"
"Your grandfather is naturally in seclusion."
Xu Zilai said in a matter-of-fact tone. If it were anyone else, Ji Wenyi would of course think this was true, but Ji Zibai was different. He didn't pursue too much cultivation. Instead, he always cared more about his business reputation.
Now that something like this has happened, which will definitely cause the entire Ji family to be in turmoil, it's impossible for him not to know about it.
"Grandpa, there's no way he doesn't know what's going on outside. Is he injured or sick?"
"You brat is thinking wildly, your grandpa is in good health."
Ji Wenyi couldn't think of any other reason, "Then why hasn't grandpa come forward yet?"
Xu Zilai smiled and said: "Even you can guess that your grandpa will know everything, let alone other people? But now I'm afraid no one except you will think that your grandpa knows everything."
Ji Wenyi was puzzled, "Why?"
"As long as something happens to the Ji family and your grandfather never expresses his opinion, what reason do other people have to not believe that he has really gone into seclusion?"
Ji Wenyi seemed to have grasped the important context, but he still couldn't think clearly at the moment, "So grandpa is indeed in seclusion."
Xu Zilai nodded, "For him, it is indeed considered a retreat."
Ji Wenyi asked: "When can I get out of seclusion?"
"That's not clear. It depends on the timing."
Ji Wenyi suddenly thought of something and said, "Is grandpa hiding from someone?"
Xu Zilai's hand stroking his beard suddenly stopped and said to Ji Wenyi rather mysteriously: "You guessed this yourself."
Ji Wenyi was a little dazed. He really couldn't think of anything. What should the people who claim to be invincible in Jiujiang have to be afraid of?
Xu Zilai said: "Do you still think that as long as your grandfather takes action, everything will return to the way it was before?"
Ji Wenyi shook his head, but he didn't know what to say at this moment.
"Then go back and stop making trouble. At least if you go to Xuanming Road, no disturbance will befall you."
Ji Wenyi was already a little decadent, "What about you?"
Xu Zilai patted Ji Wenyi's head and said: "Every family has a big business, and at most they can only make less money. We will not be involved in the beheading and exile."
Just when Ji Wenyi was about to give up, there was another noisy sound outside the yard. Xu Zilai asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What's going on? Why are all these kids here together?"
Ji Wenyi asked: "Who?"
"Except for a few of your grandfather's biological sons, everyone else with the surname Ji is here. Oh, your brother is not here either. By the way, I would like to remind you to stay away from him to ensure safety."
Ji Wenyi thought of the day he was taken away by Ji Wenhong's men. He had indeed seen the madness of those people, and there was no trace of a chamber of commerce.
There was a lot of noise outside, and Fan Ding would not let them in. Shopkeeper Ming, who woke up, learned that Ji Wenyi had entered the backyard, so he took advantage of the chaos and shouted, "I saw someone entering just now, but you stopped me here." What are your intentions for taking care of your family?"
Hearing these words, everyone in the Ji family felt the same hatred, and they felt that they were so heroic. How could they be frightened by a servant-like guard?
Of course, Fan Ding was not affected in any way. He still stopped there and would throw him away if someone tried to rob him. However, this move aroused public anger. Many people who had some grudges against Fan Ding in the past or looked down upon him Everyone who was interested rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. Although Fan Ding has a high level of cultivation, he cannot beat four hands with two fists. What's more important is that he doesn't want to hurt the Ji family, but everyone in the Ji family kills him.
Xu Zilai said: "It seems that these people live a very depressed life on weekdays. Without your grandfather's discipline, they have turned into a bunch of rabble in such a short time."
There was a hint of hatred on his face. After all, he and Ji Zibai had a close relationship and he had no heirs. He had always regarded Ji's family as relatives, but now he felt a little disgusted with it.
Ji Wenyi saw that it was really unpleasant to hear the people shouting and killing outside, so he said, "Uncle Fan can't be wronged. I'm going out right away."
Xu Zilai said: "You don't need to worry about those things. With me and your Uncle Fan here, there won't be any big problems."
Ji Wenyi said, "Since these people's surname is Ji, it's natural for me to take the lead. Grandpa Xu and Uncle Fan are both people who have great benevolence to the Ji family. How can they be so humiliated?"
Seeing this, Xu Zilai no longer stopped him, "It was a very wise decision to let you go to Xuan Ming Dao back then."
Ji Wenyi immediately rushed out of the backyard and saw a crowd of people surrounding the collapsed house.
Everyone was also very surprised to see Ji Wenyi.
"This man looks so familiar."
"It seems to be the second son of Uncle Long Wei's family."
"Why is he back? He doesn't want to compete with the boss for family property."
"What ability does he have and why he has the nerve to earn a fortune?"
Seeing that the comments in the crowd were getting more and more outrageous, Ji Wenyi shouted loudly: "Everyone, please be patient. I just came back from Xuanming Road and I haven't had time to say hello to Elder Zhang. I hope you can forgive me."
Maybe Xuan Ming Dao is aloof and too far away in the eyes of these people, or it may be that Xuan Ming Dao rarely shows up and is very low-key, so they don't know the benefits. After all, the elder of the Shan Sect who was right next to him made these people afraid only after he got angry. He was probably still thinking that the poor Taoist priest was a troublesome old man.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, my parents want to see the old master!"
Just as Ji Wenyi was about to explain why his grandfather didn't come out, he heard someone shouting: "Little brat, do you think you are the head of the family and you dare to show your face and speak?"
Ji Wenyi was one of the three people with the most advanced cultivation skills present. He immediately heard that the person speaking was none other than shopkeeper Na Ming. Ji Wenyi was angry in his heart, but now he couldn't let it go. He just said: "Of course I am nothing in the Ji family, but as a descendant of the Ji family, I must at least know etiquette. Fan Huwei has protected my grandfather for many years and has worked hard for great achievements. How can I treat him like this?" "
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, not because they were ashamed, but because they suddenly thought that everyone had almost forgotten about the siege of Fan Ding, so they ignored Kui Wenyi and started to siege and fight again.
Ji Wenyi shouted several times, but to no avail. I don't know who it was, including Ji Wenyi, and they started throwing a few talismans at them. Ji Wenyi quickly avoided them, but he saw more spells and talismans bombarding him, and some even carried magic weapons towards him. Rushed over.
Ji Wenyi felt angry and showed no mercy when he saw the visitor. He grabbed the magic weapon with his bare hands, kicked it out and threw it to the ground. This time, it was like poking a hornet's nest. More and more people gathered to besiege Ji Wenyi, showing no mercy.
When Fan Ding saw it, he said: "Young master, you should leave it to me. Although you are not afraid of them, it will always be unpleasant to talk to your own family.",
Ji Wenyi was so angry that he could not care about that. He shouted: "What they are doing now is not good to hear. What should I be afraid of?"
After saying that, he took out his golden sword, transformed into a golden dragon and knocked down the people in front of him. He then took off with his sword and landed directly in the densest place with the crowd.
Seeing that he was unconscious, everyone surrounded him one after another. Even the monk who attacked Fan Ding turned around. Fan Ding was so angry that his face was tangled and his scars were twisted. He showed his fierce look. With a wave of his hand, he blocked the people who were attacking him. He pulled him back, but it was too late to rescue Ji Wenyi who was drowned by the crowd.
Ji Wenyi, however, was not afraid. He had his own spiritual treasure canopy to protect him. The treasure aura filled the air like a gauze curtain, and all the people's killing moves were carried out, leaving only a few ripples.
Most of these people are in the foundation-building realm, with a few in the profound realm, but their cultivation is not sophisticated enough, so they can't shake the spirit treasure.
The bead curtain swung, and a wave of waves swept everyone away a few steps. Ji Wenyi took the opportunity to perform his sword technique, and the golden sword turned into a meteor shower and fell. It was as colorful as the fireworks in full bloom, but it hurt a little when it fell on his body.
The power of the Blacksmithing Sword Technique was clearly revealed at this moment, and all Ji family members fell to the ground and wailed.
Ji Wenyi hadn't finished venting his anger yet. He jumped up and landed in front of shopkeeper Ming. He sneered, "shopkeeper Ming has such a loud voice. Why don't you sing a song for me to cheer up the atmosphere?"
Shopkeeper Ming didn't feel as proud as before. His feet became weak and he said, "I hope the second young master can let me go."
When Fan Ding saw that Ji Wenyi was fine, he hurriedly came over and said to shopkeeper Ming, "Didn't the young master just say that he wanted you to sing?"
Shopkeeper Ming hurriedly asked: "Can I leave after singing?"
Fan Ding punched him in the face, and his eye sockets instantly turned purple and black, "Sing as long as I want you to, no matter what the conditions."
Shopkeeper Ming dared not speak in anger, so he had to clear his voice. Just as he was about to speak, Ji Wenyi punched him in the other eye, causing him to pass out.
"He hasn't started singing yet."
Ji Wenyi didn't pay attention to Fan Ding's muttering, but said to Li Changxia: "Brother Li, I will leave this person under your control. Don't let him run away."
Li Changxia was the closest to Ji Wenyi among all the shopkeepers. He naturally supported what Ji Wenyi did. After taking over, he said: "Don't worry, young master. No one can take him away from me except you." take away."
Ji Wenyi nodded and looked at Mr. Zhang again, "Sir, I came in a hurry just now, but I don't know why these people came here. I just injured them, but now I can't continue to be aggressive. I hope you can help me, sir." Let me ask."
Mr. Zhang smiled and said, “Of course it’s no problem.”
After all, he is the right-hand man of the family head, and he still has face in the eyes of these people. It is best to have him come forward.
Mr. Zhang helped several people up one after another and asked them one by one, but he was thinking about Ji Wenyi. Judging from the tricks just now, the masked man was definitely who he was pretending to be, but why did the second and third masters think that Ji Wenyi was Your own secret? Is there anything fishy in it? Mr. Zhang was a little curious, but obviously Ji Wenyi didn't know, and even Ji Wenyi himself was not clear about being surrounded by three parties.
He hid this question in his heart and said what he heard to Ji Wenyi: "It turns out that someone from the Shan Sect came to the door and said that our sword was defective and broke at the touch of a touch. Unfortunately, the family master and others did not handle it properly. The Shan Sect obviously It’s because I don’t want to give up.”
After Ji Wenyi heard this, he immediately guessed that the person who destroyed the sword must be his junior brother. The people from Shanzong who made such a fuss naturally wanted to see grandpa. They obviously also thought that everything would be solved after meeting grandpa.
Seeing Ji Wenyi thinking deeply for a while, Mr. Zhang asked, "The young master just went in. Is it true that the old master can't come out?"
His question made Ji Wenyi alert, as if he had acquiesced from the beginning that his grandfather would not be able to get out. Ji Wenyi naturally didn't want to expose his flaws, so he just said: "It is true that I have not met grandpa."
Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said to himself: "No meeting does not mean there is no opportunity."
He consciously guessed the meaning of Ji Wenyi's words and said: "This matter is of great importance. The Ji family's reputation for decades may be destroyed in one day. How about giving it a try, young master?"
Seeing Mr. Zhang's sincere words, Ji Wenyi had no choice but to agree, but he was not worried at all. These swords were broken by his junior brother. It was not a quality problem, and how could the Ji family's reputation be damaged. He just said what was in his heart.
Walking through the corridor again, Xu Zilai was no longer in the mood for leisurely fishing. Seeing Ji Wenyi coming over, he said, "Those wine bags and rice bags outside are really a headache."
Ji Wenyi thought of the relatives who were making trouble outside and said, "Perhaps someone coerced my thoughts into this."
Xu Zilai said: "You don't need to excuse them. If they didn't have their own problems, how could they have gotten to this level."
Ji Wenyi said: "In the future, let the head of the family formulate family laws and teach them a lesson."
Ji Wenyi has been in Xuanming Road all year round. He does not need to abide by any family rules at home, so naturally he does not care how hateful his suggestions are.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zilai said angrily: "I'm talking about your father!"
Ji Wenyi was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Xu Zilai thought that Ji Wenyi didn't believe it, so he said: "If he hadn't been so indulgent, who would have been the fourth child to speak up? As a result, the brand that your grandfather had set up for decades has been destroyed. What a waste of money."
Xu Zilai complained about Ji Zibai's sons. As a grandson, Ji Wenyi had to listen on the sidelines. After a long time, he interrupted: "Then do we need to call grandpa out?"
Xu Zilai shook his head, "No, the situation he will encounter when he comes out is more dangerous than now, just think that we are unlucky."
Ji Wenyi didn't want to see this situation, so he said: "But Shan Zong will never let things go. We might as well bring him here."
Xu Zilai said: "Isn't this deceiving yourself and others? What's the difference between telling others directly that your grandfather is back?"
Ji Wenyi said: "That's it. I just need your name, Grandpa Xu, to call him over."
Xu Zilai smiled confidently and said: "My name is similar to your grandfather's. It can be said that we have mutual success. I think your method is inappropriate."
Ji Wenyi said: "Then what should we do?"
Xu Zilai smiled and said: "There is no good way to begin with. Let your father and others solve it by themselves."
Ji Wenyi was still a little unwilling and said, "How about Grandpa Xu going there?"
Xu Zilai's expression froze, "No, no, no."
But didn't give a reason.
…
In the hall, the four brothers looked at the poor and virtuous old man sitting in front of them, feeling really unsure. Despite what Ji Longwei said, Ji Zibai had not shown up for a long time, and only Xu Zilai could occasionally spread some news.
Many people were worried about whether Ji Zibai was dead. When they found out that the Ji family was still prosperous without the old head of the family at the helm, and had even negotiated a big deal with the Governor's Mansion, no one cared anymore.
Besides, without the old man, the shackles in everyone's hearts have been lifted one by one. With the name of this Ji family, in fact many businesses and many things can be solved in simpler and more crude ways. Just like the business of talismans and elixirs, there are huge profits in it, so why bother to make a few coppers from ordinary people.
There are many people who have this idea, and Ji Wenhong gradually gathered many fans and became the de facto leader of the Ji family, but he was just a little disobedient.
Ji Longfeng was restless and quietly approached Ji Longwei and asked, "Brother, did you think father would come?"
Ji Longwei said: "Of course, this is about the future reputation of the Ji family. He values these things the most."
Ji Longfeng blurted out: "I don't think so. I have been in contact with the people nearby for a long time, but the letters I connected to were ghostwritten by others. I don't know whether they are true or false."
"Letter?!" Ji Longwei was shocked and thought: "The second child is still in contact with his father?!"
