Chapter 9 Tie Jianer opened his eyes and could not see the future of the cultivation world...
The young man in red raised his eyes and was about to explode, but he found that the person who stopped him was Shu Shangjin. He suppressed his anger and pushed the servant to the ground. He raised his eyebrows and sneered, "The beloved disciple of the Lord is so arrogant. I asked someone to steal something, and even asking for it is wrong?"
Shu Shangjin said: "Then you have no right to carry out lynching."
The young man pointed at the servant and said angrily, "Then you should ask this bastard. I asked him to hand it over, but he was so evasive that he refused to give it to me. I didn't beat him, but I still indulged him?!"
Shu Shangjin looked at the boy and saw him lying on the ground, his eyes shining, his hands protecting his chest, as if there was something tucked in his clothes, but he was so stubborn that he refused to let go.
Shu Shangjin said gently, "Since you took someone else's things, it's wrong. Why don't you return them quickly?"
The servant still hung his head and did not move. The young man said angrily: "Look, this guy deserves a beating! Today I must..." Then he raised his hand to slap him again -
Shu Shangjin stopped Yin Beiying and frowned at the servant, "What's wrong with you?"
Ji Lingche stood aside and squinted his eyes, only to see that the servant was also surrounded by yin energy. Although the black mist was some distance away from his skin, the yin energy was so thick that it was obvious that he was someone who was in contact with evil spirits day and night.
He was surrounded by evil spirits and had hidden the things from the Immortal Sect in his clothes, which stuck close to his skin. There must have been a large burn on his chest, but the man still said nothing, as if he would not hand it over even if he was beaten to death.
Ji Lingche was very surprised. He walked forward, squatted in front of the servant, and whispered, "What kind of treasure is this? Are you willing to risk your life to get it?"
The servant remained silent, his eyes fixed on Ji Lingche stubbornly, his hands tightly guarding him. Yin Beiying smirked in anger, "He stole my things, yet he acted like I was the one trying to steal them. Do you think he deserves a beating?"
Ji Lingche stretched out his hand to restrain him. The servant struggled violently, but it was just like an ant trying to shake a tree. Ji Lingche pulled a jade pendant from his arms, lifted it up and took a look, but he really didn't find anything special about it. The servant's eyes were red with anger: "Give it back to me!!"
Ji Lingche blinked: "I'm not returning it to you, I'm returning it to him."
After saying that, she threw the jade pendant to Yin Beiying, then stood up and looked at the boy. Suddenly, Yin Beiying said from behind her: "You are..."
Ji Lingche said without even turning his head: "Hua Wanwan."
The young man thought the name sounded familiar and after a moment's reaction, he shouted, "Hua... Wanwan?!"
"That idiot from the Hua family?!"
Ji Lingche turned around and smiled: "No, it's me."
She twirled her sleeves and tossed her hair. "Don't be so surprised. Things change over time. Now I'm on the rise, a comeback. You should think twice before calling me a fool."
Yin Beiying: ...? !
Yin Beiying grabbed her arm, looked her up and down, and said in astonishment, "Little fool, is it really you?!"
Ji Lingche was thinking about whether to give a typical silly smile, Yin Beiying asked curiously: "Don't you recognize me? We have met before."
Ji Lingche looked at him calmly, then curled his lips into a smile: "Yunzhong Yin Clan?"
Yin Beiying raised his chin: "Exactly!"
Ji Lingche: "Ah... I have an impression, I have an impression!"
The Yunzhong Yin family has always been domineering, and the young master of this family is naturally overbearing. Ji Lingche squinted her eyes and looked at him, and found that this person looked very familiar. He was seven points similar to Yin Pei, the current head of the Yunzhong Yin family. Although Ji Lingche did not know this young man, she knew his father!
Ji Lingche smiled and said, "Look, isn't this a coincidence..."
As the two were talking, Shu Shangjin squatted in front of the servant, held his wrist, and channeled spiritual energy into him. Then he asked in a low voice, "Why do you insist on taking that jade pendant? What's the hidden secret?"
The boy lowered his head and said nothing.
Yin Beiying: "You mean... you hit your head and then you're not stupid anymore?!"
Ji Lingche said firmly: "It's absolutely true!"
Suddenly, the side door of the Chen Mansion opened. A person who looked like a maid looked around, then saw the people here and was about to close the door. Ji Lingche turned his eyes and said to the little girl, "Hey, don't leave in such a hurry!"
Then he snapped his fingers and a spell came out, blocking the door. Seeing that the door could not be closed, the girl wanted to run inside, but she also knew that she could not escape from these immortals, so she lowered her head and slowly moved out. Ji Lingche narrowed his eyes and looked at her. This little girl also had a thick layer of yin energy on her body.
Ji Lingche pointed at the servant and said, "He hasn't come back in such a long time. Are you here to look for him?"
The little girl raised her head in a panic, mumbling "No... No..." but it was clear she wasn't very good at lying. Ji Lingche smiled and said, "Did he steal something for you?"
When the little maid heard this, she shook her head like a rattle, her face flushed red, and finally stammered, "Really... not."
Yin Beiying said angrily, "You slave, stealing other people's things and giving them away privately. If you were my servant, I would pull out your tendons!"
The little maid was so frightened that she burst into tears. She stammered, "It wasn't me...it was the young lady who asked me to come out and see—"
The servant suddenly sat up and finally said, "A Tao! Shut up!"
"Miss..." Ji Lingche repeated in a low voice. The servant knelt down and said, "If you want to beat me, then beat me. If you want to kill me, then kill me. I took the immortal's things because I was tempted by the money. I deserve death. It has nothing to do with others."
Yin Beiying was arrogant and irritable, and he disregarded human life. He pointed his finger at the servant's head and said, "You said it, and you've made me unhappy so early in the morning!" He was about to kill him, but Shu Shangjin grabbed Yin Beiying's wrist and said, "Yin Beiying!"
Ji Lingche asked, "You are wearing the clothes of the Yunzhong Yin family and killing people in the street. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"If you ask me, you should just consider it as a good deed and give the jade pendant to them to bring good luck to the Immortal Trial Competition."
Yin Beiying: "They are just a bunch of lowly people. Why should I give them anything?!"
Ji Lingche said, "Your jade pendant is stained with Yin energy. Wearing it on your body will damage your luck."
Yin Beiying picked up the jade pendant and took a look. He saw that there were strands of black cotton spreading in the jade. He made a "tsk" sound and threw the jade pendant away. It fell to the ground, but it did not break.
He cursed her several times and then dug his foot into the man's chest. The boy fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of black blood and coughing non-stop. Ji Lingche said, "...Shu Shangjin had just given him a lot of spiritual power, and you've wiped it all out with that kick."
Ji Lingche thought to himself that this man was just like his father, brutal and tyrannical, and signs of this could be seen at such a young age.
The servant reached for the jade pendant tremblingly, still wanting to put it in his arms. Yin Beiying suddenly stepped on the servant's hand and crushed it hard. The man was a mortal, so his finger bones must have been crushed.
Shu Shangjin said: "Yin Beiying! You——"
Ji Lingche said: "Alright, that's enough, his hand is already broken."
Yin Beiying retracted his foot angrily, then spat at the man, bowed to Shu Shangjin and Ji Lingche, and said, "See you on the Immortal Trial Platform." Then he turned and left.
The little maidservant was so frightened that she couldn't stop crying, while the servant raised his eyes, looked at Ji Lingche, and said, "Thank you."
Ji Lingche asked curiously, "Why are you thanking me?"
The servant said, "You asked him to give me the jade pendant, so I thank you."
Ji Lingche stared at the servant calmly, finding him quite amusing. Shu Shangjin cast a spell and set the servant's bones inch by inch. Ji Lingche patted the servant's back and said, "Don't cry..."
"Let me ask you, who is this young lady you're talking about to your master?"
The little girl rubbed her eyes and sobbed, "It's...it's my cousin, the master's cousin."
Ji Lingche said, "I am your master's guest, and I would like to see your young lady. Could you please go in and tell her?"
"Our young lady won't see guests!" the servant suddenly said, as if the word "young lady" was his sore spot and he would definitely go crazy when he heard it.
Ji Lingche smiled slightly: "So it was your young lady who asked you to steal this jade pendant. No wonder you refused to let go even if it cost you your life."
"You...you are talking nonsense!" The servant wanted to get up, but Shu Shangjin held his wrist tightly.
"Don't move." Shu Shangjin said.
Ji Lingche said, "I only asked for the jade pendant for you, and you got kicked in the heart because of it, but you still said thank you to me. My senior brother expended his spiritual energy for you, but you didn't appreciate it. It shows that this jade pendant is more important than your life."
"At your young lady's word, you acted like a thief, even risking your life. Such loyalty is truly evident to heaven and earth."
The servant and the maid have extremely strong yin energy, and they must be living with evil spirits day and night. Ji Lingche must meet the "young lady" they are talking about.
Ji Lingche flicked his sleeves and said to Shu Shangjin, "Brother, since he doesn't appreciate it, there's no need to worry about him. Let's go in through the side door and visit our cousin."
Although Shu Shangjin nodded, the spell did not stop, and he actually reconnected the man's hand bones.
But just as the servant's hand took hold, he tugged at Shu Shangjin's sleeve, saying anxiously, "Our young lady won't see guests! If you insist on coming in, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"
If it were according to Ji Lingche's temper, he would probably fulfill his wish, but Shu Shangjin looked at him coldly without making a decision.
At this time, Shu Shangjin suddenly closed his eyes, as if he had received some message. After a long while, he said to Ji Lingche, "Junior sister, Master wants us to go to the Golden Terrace immediately."
Ji Lingche looked at the boy and thought that even if the monk escaped, the temple would not be able to escape, so he said, "Okay, let's go first."
…
…
Golden Terrace
This is a large platform halfway up the mountain, facing the old site of Fengdu. Standing on the platform, it seems as if you can step on the entire ancient city under your feet. With the help of the spiritual pressure of the monks, the resentful spirits in Fengdu City are suppressed.
On the other side of the mountain, a temple was built, but nothing was enshrined there. It was only used for high-ranking consuls of the Immortal Alliance to discuss matters.
Ji Lingche stood in front of the temple, looking at the words "Exorcise Evil" on the plaque, and said, "Brother, you just go in. I won't go and embarrass myself. I'll wait for you here."
Shu Shangjin laughed and said, "Master called us both, how could you not go in?"
Ji Lingche walked through the temple gate and what came into his sight was a large hall with several courtyards around it. Many disciples were standing at the door of the hall, waiting obediently for their master to call them. Ji Lingche originally wanted to stand at the door, but was dragged into the hall by Shu Shangjin.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Qu Wuji sitting on the high platform. On both sides of him sat the elders of each peak, deans, inspectors, famous people, and heads of aristocratic families. It was truly a multitude of immortals. She saw several mortal enemies at a glance. Otherwise, it would be said that every famous and upright sect had a grudge against her, Ji Guanlan...
As soon as they came in, everyone stopped talking and looked over.
Shu Shangjin walked closer, bowed and said, "Shangjin greets Master and all the elders."
Then Ji Lingche realized that everyone's eyes were focused on her, so she had no choice but to follow suit: "Wanwan greets Master and... all the elders."
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Ji Lingche looked up and saw Qu Wuji looking directly into his eyes.
"Master, this is... a new disciple?"
An extremely handsome monk in green clothes spoke with a smile.
Qu Wuji said simply and without explanation: "Yes."
There was only a soft sigh from the audience. A woman in blue lazily leaned back in her chair and said, "It's really hard to see the future of the cultivation world when you open your eyes."
