Ji Xia opened the door and saw Ji Qingling standing in the courtyard. She was a little surprised, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Junior Sister Qingling, why are you here?"
"Sister Xia."
Ji Xia let her into the house, "Please come in."
The layout of the house is no different from Ji Qingling's house.
The only place where guests could be entertained was the round table in the middle, and the two of them sat down in front of the round table.
Ji Xia poured out a cup of tea and handed it to Ji Qingling, "Junior sister Qingling, do you have something to do with me?"
"Senior Sister Xia, I came here to ask Senior Sister something."
"What's the matter?"
Today I met a male cultivator on the way back. He should be majoring in the Golden Spiritual Root at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
An abnormality flashed across Ji Xia's face, but she recovered only for a moment.
"What's wrong with this male cultivator?"
"It seemed like he was waiting for me on purpose, and just found any excuse to attack me."
Ji Qingling stopped and observed Ji Xia.
The other party's face was calm, and he didn't seem very surprised.
"There are other things like this. Has Junior Sister Qingling offended him before?"
Ji Qingling shook his head, "I'm pretty sure I haven't seen him before, and from the time I started until now, except for one mission with you at the beginning, I have been practicing almost all the time and rarely go out or interact with other people."
"Is the junior sister injured?"
"No, but I beat him half to death."
"What!"
Ji Xia was shocked, and a panicked expression flashed across her face.
Ji Qingling stared at Ji Xia, "Senior sister, why are you so excited? Do you know this person?"
Ji Xia's face turned cold, "Junior Sister Qingling, what do you mean by this?"
Sure enough there is a problem.
"Senior Sister, don't be angry. I'm here today just to confirm one thing. I don't dare to make Senior Sister angry. Junior Sister is not arrogant enough to dare to do anything to a monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining."
Ji Xia didn't say anything. She wasn't afraid that Ji Qingling would know anything. No matter how good his qualifications were, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
I just didn’t expect that idiot Dou Bi to be unable to defeat the fourth level of Qi Refining.
"How is Dou Bi?" she asked Ji Qingling.
Sure enough, we knew him, and his name was Dou Bi. He was really funny as his name suggests.
"I can probably guess why you did this?"
Ji Xia sneered, "You think it's me?"
After hearing what the other party meant, she felt that it was similar to what she thought, so Ji Qingling continued to test.
"I saw Senior Brother Ji Hong. After he saw that Dou Bi was defeated by me, he turned around and left."
"Ha, this is indeed Ji Hong's character. I didn't ask Dou Bi to go there. Seriously speaking, I have nothing to do with this matter."
Ji Qingling was puzzled.
Ji Xia poured herself a glass of water, rubbed her fingers on the edge, and slowly told Ji Qingling everything.
It turns out that Ji Qingyuan had heard before that there was a problem with Ji Hong's team, and it was indeed true.
Because everyone's qualifications are not very good, it is impossible to practice on a daily basis just relying on the sect's reputation.
Each family has its own team, and many captains of such family teams do this.
Therefore, some clan members will leave the family team after their cultivation level is improved.
But for new tribesmen or those with slower cultivation speeds, they need someone with a higher cultivation level than themselves to protect them.
Originally, this was a normal thing. The law of the jungle was the law of survival in the world of immortality.
It's just that Ji Hong didn't want to let people come and leave whenever they wanted. In order to win over more clan members, he came up with such a crooked idea.
There was nothing he could do for those with high levels of cultivation, but for those with low levels of cultivation, he found Dou Bi, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.
This Dou Bi has been stuck in the middle stage of Qi refining for a long time and has been unable to break through.
It was Dou Bi who came forward to cause trouble for those clansmen who refused to join the Ji family team. Of course, the main purpose was to scare them, but not to seriously injure them.
Then Ji Hong comes out to play the role of savior. Once or twice like this, some people will always join. As for those who never join, Ji Hong will not always trouble him. After all, Dou Bi also wants to collect the spiritual stones. of.
Although the method is very smart, the new members of the Ji family are all teenagers, and they have never seen much of the world in the family.
Most people don't understand the twists and turns.
Even if he finds out in the future, he will not retaliate for the sake of being a member of the same clan.
Ji Xia was a bit puzzled, "You haven't done any tasks for a year, why are you in trouble again now?"
Ji Qingling thought about it and said, "I went to the mission hall today, and Ji Yuxiu saw me."
"That troublemaker? His cultivation level is not high, but he has a lot of troubles."
Ji Qingling felt that Ji Xia was not so annoying for a moment, maybe because they both hated the same person.
"Junior Sister Qingling, believe it or not, I was not involved in Ji Hong's affairs."
"But you knew it, but you didn't react at all when you saw Ji Hong treating his own people like this."
Ji Xia was amused, "How do you want me to react? Have the Ji family ever taken care of me in these years? Back then, no one even informed me that something happened to my father. It was because I was always in a state of uncertainty during that period that I returned to Ji Xia. I looked around at home, but my father was no longer here. What was even more ridiculous was that when I went back, the house we lived in had been rented out by Ji He to casual cultivators. Why did I stay in Taiyimen all these years and the house was empty? It’s also a waste.”
Ji Qingling is silent, this Ji He is really a troublemaker.
"Besides, although these new tribesmen who have joined the sect received less reward for doing tasks behind Ji Hong, Ji Hong did protect their safety. For example, Ji Wanli, who has been in the sect for twenty years, is still a third-level Qi refining expert. Layer, if it weren’t for Ji Hong’s protection, he would have been bullied to death long ago.”
Ji Qingling did not agree with her statement, "If Ji Hong doesn't use any means, maybe this Ji Wanli can get more resources, and he may have suddenly reached the middle stage of Qi refining."
Ji Xia shook her head, "Whether it's the early stage of Qi refining or the middle stage, these things are not something I can decide. I've already told you the matter. I think with Ji Hong's character, if he was beaten back by you once, he shouldn't be able to If we take action again, you can feel at ease.”
Ji Qingling looked at her, "Senior Sister Xia, the Ji family is different now. The eldest elder is now out of seclusion, and the clan leader and stewards have restrained themselves. When we came back from Xiaowang Mountain, the steward and Ji He were also many He made things difficult and refused to give my mother the Foundation Establishment Pill. Later, my brother went directly to the third elder, and the Foundation Establishment Pill was in my mother's hands that day. You can go back to Ji's house when you have time. After all, you and your father lived there. place."
"Okay, but can you take me to see Dou Bi now? He is indeed not a bad person. He has never done anything serious in so many years, and he fell into your hands today."
Ji Qingling raised her eyebrows, "Senior Sister Xia is quite concerned about this person."
"We have known each other for many years and he helped me."
Ji Qingling and the two of them came under the short tree, but Dou Bi hadn't woken up yet.
Ji Xia looked at the bloody man on the ground and gave him a rejuvenation pill.
"Junior Sister Qingling, how did you hurt him like this?"
"Uh, I used the Explosive Talisman."
What kind of explosive talisman can hurt someone like this!
Ji Xia didn't ask any more questions, "Then I'll take him back, and I'll tell Ji Hong that you don't need to worry anymore."
"Thank you very much, senior sister. Please go slowly, senior sister."
Ji Qingling told Ji Qingyuan and Ji Hui about the incident and reminded them to be careful.
Seeing that she had not suffered any loss, the two of them did not say anything about settling the score with Ji Hong.
The days are still long and there will always be opportunities in the future.
They can't protect Ji Qingling now, so it's best if they don't hold her back.
