"What's this?"
As he spoke, Jiu Yebai opened the box and unwrapped the layers of newspaper. He saw a bronze short sword, which felt quite heavy in his hand, and was immediately delighted!
"This is a genuine short sword! Was this a gift for me? Is it usable?"
The cat glanced at him. "Of course you can use it. It's a magical artifact. Although it can be used as an ordinary sword, its power is much greater when combined with spells."
Jiu Yebai stroked the sword, reluctant to put it down. He suddenly felt less resistant to the confusing relationships between the Eight Gates, and he realized there was no need to hesitate any longer! Of course, he should choose to inherit the "General Principles of the Shock Gate"!
Otherwise, it would be a disservice to this sword!
Jiu Yebai handed the sword to Maomao, looking at her expectantly with her phoenix eyes, "Good sister, can you demonstrate it for me?"
This guy can be so obedient and call me "sister" sometimes.
Cat used magic several times tonight, but surprisingly, she didn't object because of Jiu Yebai calling her "sister".
Cat took the short sword, quickly drew a talisman on the blade, and then pointed it with her hand!
The sword tip pointed to the ground, and the marble-tiled floor suddenly cracked open! It quickly spread to both sides, and in no time, a three-meter-long crater appeared! It almost divided the living room in two!
Jiu Yebai stared blankly at the deep pit, where soil and debris were still falling from the edge!
"Sister...aren't you being too serious...this is our home."
The cat slapped him on the head without hesitation, "You're so stubborn, you silly little brother!"
In the blink of an eye, when Jiu Yebai opened his eyes again, the deep pit was gone! The living room was the same as before!
But what just happened was clearly very real!
Jiu Yebai immediately said, "That's... an illusion? It's fake?"
Cat shook her head and said, "No, that's a technique, it's real! In the General Principles of the Shock Gate, this technique is called Earth Escape Technique. If you had jumped down just now, you could have really been transported to another place."
Jiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiu Yunchi and said seriously, "Big brother, I've made up my mind. It's my duty to inherit our family's long-standing tradition!"
Jiu Yunchi seemed to raise an eyebrow, and he said, "Are you sure?"
Jiu Yebai nodded heavily, "I'm absolutely certain!"
Jiu Yunchi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make it clear from the beginning: once you've made your choice, you can't regret it. Even if you learn magic in the future, you can't show it to anyone, and you certainly can't pass on the Jingmen's magic to outsiders."
Kuyabai said, "Is it that harsh?"
Jiu Yunchi's expression remained unchanged. "These are the rules."
Jiu Yebai didn't need to know how inviolable this rule was; he only needed to look at his elder brother's expression to know.
But he nodded anyway, "I've made up my mind."
Regardless, he had made up his mind, because he couldn't allow himself to fall too far behind his older brother and Jiu Maomao.
Jiu Yunchi's expression relaxed slightly, and he looked at the seal that Maomao had brought over.
At this moment, Jiu Yebai asked, "So, the person lying here is someone who needs a door?"
Jiu Yunchi said, "He is not only a member of the sect, but also the sect leader. Only the sect leader is qualified to hold this seal."
Jiu Yebai immediately said, "So, big brother, do you have one too?"
Jiu Yunchi replied, "It's in Dad's hands."
Jiu Yebai was stunned for a moment... He almost thought that Jiu Yunchi was taking advantage of him, but he quickly realized that this time he was really talking about their father, Jiu Zhongsheng.
Jiu Yebai nodded slowly.
Jiu Yunchi, however, looked at the cat.
Cat seemed to sense something, looked up at Jiu Yunchi, and almost immediately understood. She coughed lightly and said, "This matter... is a long story."
So the cat recounted in detail how she went to that strange abandoned factory that day and then went to find that person.
Having just opened the door to another world, Jiu Yebai is now curious about everything. Hearing that such a place exists, he can't wait to go and see it!
Jiu Yunchi said, "The Eight Gates have always had their own channels and places for communication, and such places should be quite common."
Jiu Yebai said, "They can communicate, so why can't we? Is the Jingmen so lowly?"
Jiu Yunchi remained silent.
Cat knew why Jiu Yunchi was so cautious, and she said, "Silly brother, the Jingmen sect has no prestige."
Kuyabai was taken aback. "That earth-escape technique just now wasn't impressive?"
The cat said, "That's a spell I know. Do you know it?"
Jiu Yebai was speechless. "I'm still a newbie."
The cat said, "You're still a burden. When you can stand on your own, the Jingmen will have real prestige."
Jiu Yebai immediately felt a great responsibility and nodded solemnly, "Don't worry! I'll take on the important task of revitalizing the Jingmen!"
Cat couldn't help but chuckle; this silly little brother was too easy to fool.
As for the Shock Gate Secret Technique or even the Eight Gates Secret Technique, Cat Cat thinks there's no need to worry too much. Even if the Shock Gate is surrounded by wolves, and there was Jiu Yunchi before and after, there's still her now!
Thinking about it, the cat asked curiously, "Jiu Yunchi, who were those people today?"
Although Jiu Yunchi didn't go, he was able to analyze the situation very logically based on what Maomao said.
“Those women should be from the Cai Men. Cai Men used to be a separate profession, specifically referring to brothels, but later it was incorporated into the Piao Men. The current Cai Men belong to the Fengshi lineage. The ones you met should be them.”
"Most of those who deal with magical artifacts are from the Wind Gate and Book Gate, a few from the Floating Gate, and others are few."
The cat nodded.
However, Jiu Yunchi solemnly warned her, "Don't have any contact with the people from Caimen."
The cat asked, "Why?"
Jiu Yunchi said, "On the surface, Caimen is engaged in the flesh trade, but its real skill is deception, which is impossible to guard against."
Hearing this, Cat curled her lip. "Men are the ones you can't guard against. What am I afraid of? I even taught that woman a lesson today."
Jiu Yebai asked curiously, "How did you discipline her?"
The cat said, "I picked out a gift for her that clashes with her five elements. She'll probably have nightmares for a month straight."
Jiu Yebai wanted to ask more, but the cat yawned, stopping the silly little brother who was almost turning into a curious baby.
"Stop asking. That's enough for today. Once you've gained some experience, go explore on your own."
Jiu Yebai had no choice but to shut up. He was very dissatisfied with what he heard and secretly resolved that he had to catch up!
Jiu Yunchi handed the seal to Maomao, "So, he gave you the seal?"
The cat played with the stamp and nodded, "Yes, I saved his life."
Jiu Yunchi looked at the cat, and when she recounted what had happened, she did so with a calm and collected demeanor.
But he knew she was hiding a lot of details, such as... who she fought, and what happened to the opponent? She didn't say any of these things.
But, given that this person has been stabbed like this, would the other party be a kind soul?
Tonight, I'm afraid someone will die.
