Escorted by Yuan Zhong, Ji Tianci finally returned to the Heavenly Faction after seven days. As soon as he entered the sect, Ji Tianci was shocked to see Yu Xuzi, Feng 'er, and the others coming out to welcome him.
This was not Yuan Chong's fault. Before he set off, he had already informed Sect Leader Ling Ao and the others about a certain someone's results and the news of his return to the sect. Due to Ji Tianci's special identity, Ling Ao had given the task of welcoming Ji Tianci to Spirit Wood Peak.
"Brat, you finally know how to come back. If Yuan Chong didn't bring you back, you would probably be preparing to become the son-in-law of the Dongfang Family.”
"What are you thinking? Aren't I back?”
Although Ji Tianci looked like he had delicate skin and tender flesh, he was actually already thick-skinned. He had completely adapted to Yu Xuzi, who had never played by the rules, and was no longer as embarrassed as before.
After answering, he even deliberately walked to Feng 'er's side and started flirting with her, ignoring everyone else.
However, he did all of this on purpose. He wanted to anger Yu Huzi, who had never forgiven him.
As expected, Yu Xuzi gritted his teeth in anger. He resisted the urge to beat someone up and continued,""It's getting late. Hurry up and report back. The sect master and the elders are still waiting for you.”
Daoist Ling Ao, the Sect Master of the Great Heaven Palace of the Heavenly Mountain Peak, Elder Xiaoyao Zi, Law Enforcement Elder Tian Xingzi, and Guardian Elder Yun Zhongzi were all sitting among them. When everyone saw that Ji Tianci had returned unscathed, they were all delighted and praised him for his successful experience.
It was no wonder that everyone had such an idea. With almost zero casualties and losses, he had turned a family from danger to safety without any suspense. This was very rare in the history of the Clear Sky School. This was not only a test of a person's cultivation, but also a test of a person's wisdom. If he had to give Ji Tianci a score, he would definitely give it a hundred points.
This was because at this moment, everyone was not simply thinking about letting him complete a clan mission or a certain matter. Instead, they were thinking about his future path.
"Tianci, do you know why I urgently called you back this time?”
"I heard from Yuan Zhong that it's for the sect competition?”
"That's right. This time, you'll be participating in the sect competition as a foundation establishment disciple. However, other sects also have very outstanding disciples, and you're only at the first layer of the foundation establishment realm. It's obvious that you don't have enough confidence. Therefore, the elders and I mean that you have to cultivate diligently to improve your cultivation.”Sect Master Ling Ao explained.
"Sigh! You're going to cultivate as soon as you come back."
"We all know that you have worked hard this time, but time waits for no one. After you rest for a while, go find Old Xiao. This time, Old Xiao will still guide you in your cultivation.”
"Oh ~"
After saying that, Ji Tianci asked him to fly back to the Spirit Wood Peak on his flying sword.
Seeing that Ji Tianci could agree, everyone heaved a sigh of relief even though it was a little reluctant. Actually, everyone was really afraid that Ji would quit, but fortunately, no accidents happened.
"Come, come, let's have a toast."
"May I know why Senior Brother wants to invite the heavens to invite us?”
Yu Chengzi of the Flowing Cloud Hall of the Sky Glory Peak was drinking with Yu Mingzi of the Bright Sun Peak and Yu Xiaozi of the Thick Earth Peak. They had contact with the other peaks, but everyone knew that Yu Chengzi was sinister and ruthless. His disciples were all arrogant and despotic, and they usually kept a respectful distance from him. Even unpleasant things often happened between the disciples.
"Junior Brothers, aren't you treating me as an outsider? After all, we are of the same lineage. Today, we are just getting to know each other.”
"Since Senior Brother has put it this way, we are not unreasonable people. It is impolite to refuse.”
"Cheers ~"
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone was slightly tipsy. It wasn't that they couldn't drink wine, but that there was something else in the wine. It was just that Yu Mingzi and Yu Xiao were unaware of it.
"Uh, I say, Junior Brothers, I don't know if you've noticed that the Sect Leader and the Elders are overly protective of a disciple, and they're very mysterious, unwilling to tell you and us too much.”
"You, you're talking about that Ji Tianci, right? Yes, he's quite mysterious. No, but I really don't know what this disciple is capable of.”Yu Ming Zi replied.
"Forget about that. He didn't even find out his background and directly accepted him into the sect. Don't you think there's something fishy going on?”
"Senior Brother, what are you talking about? The Sect Master and the elders are all selfless people. Other than pursuing the Dao, they only care about the sect.”Master Yu Xiao said.
Yu Chengzi wanted to get some information about Ji Tianci from the two of them, but he had miscalculated. Perhaps the two of them were under the influence of the wine and did not know what was going on inside, so they really could not tell him anything.
This made Yu Chengzi extremely annoyed. Fortunately, he was very shrewd and changed his strategy."Junior Brothers, Senior Brother has a presumptuous request. Can you tell me a thing or two?"
"Uh, Senior Brother, please speak. Only Junior Brothers can do it without frowning.”
Yu Mingzi and Yu Xiaozi knew that Yu Chengzi had a powerful background and that he was not someone they could afford to offend. Furthermore, although Yu Chengzi was usually a little arrogant, he could only endure it for a while.
As the saying goes,"It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain."”It was fine to offend Sect Master Ling Ao, he would at most criticize him in person. However, if he really offended Yu Chengzi, he would have to bear the consequences.
Given Yucheng's vengeful personality, he would suffer a great loss sooner or later if he offended him. Since Yu Chengzi invited them to drink, he must have something he wanted. If they could not agree, he would definitely take revenge.
Therefore, under the consideration of gains and losses, the two of them could still distinguish the interests.
" Then I won't stand on ceremony. Some time ago, Senior Brother and Yu Xuzi had a misunderstanding because of Ji Tianci. You know that Yu Xuzi is very petty. He cut off my supply of medicinal pills. Medicinal pills are the foundation for us cultivators to improve our cultivation and protect our lives. Originally, I was waiting for her anger to subside, hoping that she would apologize and restore the supply of medicinal pills, but I didn't know that she was actually serious. At the beginning, I still had extra medicinal pills and spirit stones, but now I have used them up and am already struggling. I hope that the two of you can support me.”
"No, it's okay. We'll send someone to send some over tomorrow. I can give you some in the future.”
"I, I don't think it's a big deal. I'll send it over tomorrow.”
Yu Mingzi and Master Yu Xiaozi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that Yucheng had no good intentions when he invited them over for a drink. Furthermore, they were afraid that Yucheng would open his mouth, so they immediately agreed.
Seeing that the two of them had agreed so quickly, Yu Chengzi felt a little better.
"Hmm, that's true. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first.”
"Wait, wait for me."
Master Yu Xiao and Yu Ming Zi stood up together and bowed to Yu Cheng. Before he could react, the two of them supported each other as they left the Sky Glory Peak.
"Damn it, you two old foxes, you better not fall into my hands in the future. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead.”Yu Chengzi thought to himself with a gloomy expression.
This time, Yu Chengzi did not sincerely want to treat Yu Mingzi and Yu Xiaozi to a drink. On one hand, he wanted to extort some medicinal pills from them. Secondly, he wanted to get some information about Ji Tianci from them. However, what he did not expect was that the two of them kept their mouths shut and did not want to talk about it. However, this time, Yu Chengzi had misunderstood and the two of them did not know about it.
Initially, Yu Chengzi did not care about Ji Tianci at all. Who would have thought that Yu Xuzi would really stop the supply of elixirs at Heavenly Ze Peak for him? For this reason, Yu Chengzi had argued with Sect Master Ling Ao and the elders many times, but he had been fooled by him with various reasons and excuses.
Therefore, Yu Chengzi did not expect that the two of them would stand on the same side. There must be some unspeakable secret between them. Only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem. He wanted to get some information from Yu Mingzi and Yu Xiaozi, but the two of them did not know anything at all.
"What do you think about Huayuan?"
Yu Chengzi looked at the two of them as they left and asked in frustration.
"Master, I think we should start from the outside and sow discord between Ji Tianci and the various large sects. By forcing them to attack, it will be very difficult for Ji Tianci not to be exposed.”
"Hmm, that's true. I have to think about who this person is to have so many people protecting him.”
"Master, this matter might not be as simple as you think. Looking at the words and deeds of the sect leader, the elders, and Yu Xuzi, there must be some unspeakable secret.”
"But who should we ask for help? The Immortal Sword Academy is still brooding over the matter of Cheng Wei injuring Wu Meng. Some time ago, I went to apologize to him, but that old thing Xuan Kong was very cunning and refused to meet me.”
When Yu Chengzi thought of the commotion caused by Cheng Wei, he was so angry that he wished he could cripple this useless Cheng Wei.
"Sigh! What a headache. The relationship that I have painstakingly built with the Immortal Sword Academy has been ruined by that bastard.”
"Master, if you believe me, leave this matter to me. I will definitely settle this matter. Don't worry, not only will I force that person to reveal his true form, but I will also force him to a dead end.”
"Is there really a way to deal with Huayuan? Alright, I'll leave it to you."
"Yes, I won't disappoint Master."
"Yes, sigh! If Cheng Wei had even a fraction of your ability, I would be satisfied in this life.”
Yu Chengzi could not help but sigh as he thought of his disappointing son, Cheng Wei. In fact, Yu Chengzi had a bad feeling about this. It was just like the previous assassination incident. Although Cheng Wei was the culprit, he realized that something was wrong after the incident was exposed. Yu Xuzi stopped his supply of elixirs.
Besides, Yu Chengzi also wanted to see what the Sect Leader and the elders were up to. If they were to harm him, he really had no choice. At the mention of Ji Tianci, Yu Chengzi felt a headache coming on. Ever since the murder incident, many people were afraid to speak up, let alone try to get close to him.
"Sigh! I hope Hua Yuan can bring me good news.”
Now that Yu Chengzi had placed all his hopes on Hua Yuan, it would be best if he could settle the matter before the sect competition.
