Chapter 8: That sickly guy is actually a master of metaphysics?

madman.

"Good child, my good child."

Bai Yun only came over for a visit while Ji Qingshan and Daoist Wan'an were about to have a talk, but she never expected to overhear Ji Huaizhi's words.

She now feels that she has really wronged Qingshan over the years.

How could they possibly despise him?

He's my child too. He's so sensible. I don't know how much he's suffered on the mountain.

Thinking about these white clouds makes my heart ache.

Baiyun felt ashamed to face her son, and with mixed feelings, she turned and left.

But why is Ji Yao constantly trying to sow discord?

Didn't he say he would help persuade Huaizhi?

But it seems he's making Huai Zhi hate them.

Baiyun had doubts in his heart and needed to go back and talk to Qingshan about it, telling him to be wary of his younger brother in the future.

Ji Yao couldn't hold back any longer: "Huaizhi, tell your uncle, are you crazy?"

Ji Huaizhi frowned: "Uncle, why do you say that?"

Ji Yao: "Your parents thought you wouldn't live long and sent you up the mountain. Now they want your heart, and you have to offer it up with both hands. Your younger siblings never knew you before, and now that they do, they look down on you and want your life too."

"But all you do now is grin like an idiot, thinking it's an honor to selflessly dedicate yourself to the family. What are you if not crazy?"

Ji Yao was genuinely disappointed in Ji Yao by the end.

“Uncle, I think you’re right.” Ji Huaizhi looked at him, seemingly moved by his words.

"So they went this far. I guess I'll just not give them my broken heart."

Ji Yao's face suddenly showed confusion again.

It seems they didn't expect him to change so quickly.

"Uncle, thank goodness you reminded me. They're heartless and unjust; they even want me to save that brother I've never met." Ji Huaizhi left quickly with a cold face, leaving only three words:

"impossible."

Ji Yao: "......"

Are all these Taoist priests really this crazy?

Just then, Wang Shan passed by and Ji Yao called out to him, "Is Ji Huaizhi's mood always this unstable?"

Wang Shan frowned first: "Who are you?"

“I am his uncle, and I came up the mountain to visit him.”

The junior brother thought for a moment before speaking: "Senior Brother Ji's emotions are indeed a bit unstable, but he is a very good person."

Ji Yao sneered, "Isn't that a good thing?"

They've all become saints.

However, these sick people are generally not mentally sound either.

He cannot be viewed through the eyes of a normal person.

Ji Huaizhi, however, did not seem to have any sense of world-weariness, and he did not know whether his plan would work.

When Baiyun returned, Ji Huaiyuan and Ji Huaiming were outside talking about something.

Ji Qingshan and the Taoist priest should be talking inside the house.

The brother and sister rushed over to their mother, saying, "Mom, where have you been? I just turned around and couldn't see you."

Bai Yun's eyes were still a little red: "I just took a walk around."

Ji Huaiyuan frowned upon seeing this: "You've been crying? Does anyone dare to bully you, you stinky Taoist priest?"

"No, I just saw your eldest brother..." Bai Yun hesitated to say.

I feel they are so despicable, and they have let their eldest son down so much.

"Did your older brother bully you?" Ji Huaiyuan's expression was indeed very unpleasant: "I'll teach him a lesson for you! Let's see if he dares to give you attitude again!"

Baiyun stopped her: "No..."

Ji Huaiyuan completely ignored her mother's words: "And my brother's heart, if he doesn't agree, I'll make him pay!"

Baiyun's expression was unpleasant: "Yuanyuan, what are you talking about?"

“I said if he doesn’t give his heart to my brother, I’ll make him regret ever being born!” Ji Huaiyuan repeated.

"But what's the point of this good-for-nothing living? Giving his heart to my brother means his trip wasn't in vain."

Baiyun looked at her daughter.

I realized she was such a stranger.

They used to spoil the child together, and I never realized they were like this.

Ji Huaiming noticed his mother's expression and quickly told his sister to stop talking.

Before Ji Huaiyuan could react, her words became increasingly outrageous.

They even made personal attacks on Ji Huaizhi, looking down on this elder brother in their words and calling him a piece of trash.

Bai Yun, remembering how her eldest son had almost broken apart, couldn't help but slap her.

This was the first time she had ever laid a hand on her daughter: "How could you say that about your older brother? When has your older brother ever stopped talking? It's always you who's talking."

"How dare you be so disrespectful to your elder brother? How have I taught you to behave like this?"

Ji Huaiyuan blinked, seemingly not quite understanding.

When she finally came to her senses, she looked at Ji's mother in shock: "Mom! You actually hit me for that good-for-nothing!"

Baiyun initially felt sorry for her, but realized she had acted too impulsively.

But upon hearing her words, his face darkened, and he roared angrily, "My son is not a good-for-nothing!"

"He's a piece of trash, and you actually hit me for him! How could you treat me like this! You're not me..." Ji Huaiyuan couldn't accept it and started crying and making a scene.

Ji Huaiming pulled her aside and interrupted, "Don't say anymore. Can't you see how heartbroken Mom is?"

Ji Huaiyuan retorted angrily, "Don't you think I'm sad too?"

After saying that, he turned his back.

Seeing his mother suddenly like this, Ji Huaiming knew that something they didn't know had just happened.

"Mom, Yuanyuan is just being silly, don't be angry." Ji Huaiming said, going along with his mother. "I can tell that my older brother is a very good person."

They sensed Ji Huaiyuan's protest.

Ji Huaiming squeezed her arm: "She's just not familiar with her older brother, it's just a childish temper."

"Besides, she thought your older brother had bullied you, that's why she said that."

Bai Yun calmed down and pulled her daughter over, saying, "Yuanyuan, does it hurt? Mommy was just too angry."

Ji Huaiyuan cried out in grievance: "You hit me now that you have an older brother, but you've never hit me before."

“You’re going too far. Your older brother is a really good person.” Baiyun explained to her, “He’s a good older brother, that’s why Mom got angry when she heard you say that.”

"Don't say that again. Mom apologizes."

Ji Huaiming stood next to his mother, his eyes darkening as he heard her words.

Now I think my older brother is the best person ever?

Why has that older brother always lived in the mountains?

What just happened?

Ji Qingshan sat in the room and asked about the strange phenomenon.

He was greatly shocked to hear them say that Huai Zhi had done it: "You said it was Huai Zhi?"

"Otherwise what? Your Ji family has produced a fine bamboo shoot out of a bad one, let me just tell you this." The senior master boasted, "Neither the Daoist nor I knew Huaizhi's strength."

"He doesn't even appreciate such a good son!"

"Useless old man!"
