Chapter 31 That sickly guy is actually a master of metaphysics?

"Did you commit too many sins in the past?"

"So the retribution is all on my children!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qing's lips twitched with anger: "You crazy woman! It's all fate!"

"What fate! It's all your fault!" Bai Yun blamed everything on him: "It's all your fault! If the Ji family had any ability to raise the children, you would have ruined them."

“You corrupted Huaiming. He pushed his cousin off a cliff when he was 16.”

"This is all retribution!"

Baiyun accused him again and again: "The heir of the Ji family is the most capable one. You are afraid that the collateral branches will surpass the main branch."

"So as soon as someone demonstrates their talent, you will..."

"Shut up!" Ji Qingshan almost lost his balance. "What's the use of saying all this now? If you have a solution, go ask Ji Huaizhi to save your son!"

Of course, Baiyun would ask for it.

She can't afford to lose her child.

Ji Qingshan also planned to contact Wan Anshan, intending to exchange Ji Huaizhi for the Ji family's possessions.

Ji Huaizhi lay on the vines, taking a short rest, with a book covering his face.

There were three kittens lying on the vines, or perhaps sharpening their claws.

The one person and three cats looked quite content.

Even those practicing martial arts nearby, like those gazing at the stars and moon, were envious.

Wang Shan ran over with a dumpling on his head: "Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Ji!"

"Your birth mother is kneeling at the entrance of the Taoist temple, saying she wants to see you. Also, your senior uncle received a phone call today and got very angry. It seems to be a call from the Ji family."

Ji Huaizhi took the book down.

When Wang Shan ran over, he scared away two cats, but the other one is still sleeping next to Ji Huaizhi.

They didn't even lift their eyelids.

"Why don't you stay here? Wangyue and I will go out and take a look first," Wangxing said upon hearing this.

"It's alright, you can continue practicing."

Ji Huaizhi is currently at the martial arts academy, mainly teaching other disciples how to practice.

Among them, gazing at the stars and the moon was the most diligent.

A crowd of worshippers had gathered at the entrance of the Taoist temple, among whom Wang Gui was standing nearby.

No matter what moral blackmail Baiyun said, he would always sabotage it from the sidelines.

The other worshippers also understood.

They abandoned their eldest son for twenty years, and now they expect him to contribute and give unconditionally.

When Ji Huaizhi came out, the surrounding pilgrims exclaimed in amazement.

"This Taoist priest is really handsome."

Ji Huaizhi still looked rather thin. When he walked in front of Baiyun, the aloofness and indifference in his eyes made it seem as if he were looking at a stranger.

"What are you doing blocking the way here? Come inside and talk."

Bai Yun knelt on the ground, unmoving: "No, I'll say it right here, please save your brother..."

Before she could even start crying, Ji Huaizhi turned around and said, "Oh, then you can kneel down."

"I'm not feeling well and can't stand the wind, so I'll go in first."

No one had time to react.

Wang Gui also left.

A short while later, a young Taoist priest came out and said, "Madam Ji, our Taoist priest is asking whether you want to continue kneeling or go to the backyard to wait for Master Ji to come up the mountain tonight?"

Baiyun had never suffered such humiliation.

He had no choice but to get up and follow the young Taoist priest to the backyard.

She wanted to go to Ji Huaizhi to persuade him to save her brother, but she kept circling around the backyard and couldn't get out of the yard at all.

Today, Wan'an Taoist Temple closed exceptionally early.

To express their apologies, the Taoist temple gave each visitor a peace charm.

Although no one understood why the temple was closing so early, they didn't seem unhappy because the young Taoist priests were so polite.

After all, the peace talismans from Wan'an Taoist Temple are extremely rare.

So no one caused any trouble.

Baiyun couldn't find her way out of the courtyard, and she couldn't even find her way back to the rest room.

The sky grew darker and darker.

After walking for a long time, she was convinced that Ji Huaizhi was taking revenge on her, which made her angry but unable to find an outlet for her anger.

Her phone had no signal, which angered her so much that she smashed it and started cursing loudly on the spot.

Wang Xingwangyue, hiding behind the artificial hill, covered her mouth and chuckled. She gave the other person a look and then left. Of course, they had to teach the person who bullied Senior Brother Ji a lesson.

The Taoist temple was unusually quiet tonight. When Ji Qingshan arrived with his men, he looked around warily.

After negotiations failed during the day, he planned a surprise raid tonight to seize the person directly.

He took out his compass and checked Ji Huaizhi's general direction.

"Just snatch them. If anyone tries to stop you," Ji Qingshan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Kill them!"

He wanted to catch everyone off guard.

"Could it be...the people from the Discipline Hall?"

Ji Qingshan: "Don't worry, I've already taken care of the Discipline Hall."

Even if the people at Wan'an Taoist Temple don't want the Ji family's treasures, there will always be someone else who wants them.

After everyone went inside, Ji Qingshan took out a bell, first shaking it rhythmically, then shaking it more and more urgently.

"Souls, heed my command! Wandering spirits, come forth swiftly! Souls, manifest your forms, appear before me and lend me your strength!"

A lot of mist appeared around the Taoist temple, and many spirits suddenly rose from the ground near Ji Qingshan.

The first thing to appear was Ji Yao's face.

Upon seeing this, Ji Qingshan quickly averted his gaze. The sound of the bell continued, and the last spirit to appear was Ji Huaiyuan.

"All spirits of the dead, heed my command!"

Ji Qingshan's expression was serious: "Capture Ji Huaizhi!"

Ji Huaizhi stood by the window, seemingly wanting to take out what was inside the brocade pouch at his waist.

Unfastening the brocade pouch felt like breaking some taboo.

"Owner."

The demon's voice was somewhat ethereal.

"Can you handle those things?"

“It will only take a little time,” the demon said truthfully.

"Then go ahead."

After the evil spirits disappeared, Ji Huaizhi opened the door and went out. As soon as he opened the gate to the courtyard, he saw Wang Gui standing in front of the door.

"Senior brother?"

Wang Gui: "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Ji Huaizhi smiled faintly: "Since you can't sleep, then help me with some chores."

The two had only taken two steps when they sensed a different presence nearby.

Wang Gui drew a line on the ground, and a rune sword suddenly appeared, covered with runes and incantations, its blade emitting golden light.

He pulled it out with one hand, producing a long, resonant sound: "Clang—"

Suddenly, many vines sprouted from behind Ji Huaizhi, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.
