Chapter 49 There is a problem

Ji Xia opened the door and saw Ji Qingling standing in the yard. She was a little surprised, but still smiled.

"Junior Sister Qingling, why are you here?"

"Senior Sister Xia."

Ji Xia let her into the house and said, "Come in, please."

The layout of the house is no different from Ji Qingling's house.

The only table that could accommodate guests was the round table in the middle, so the two of them sat down at it.

Ji Xia poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ji Qingling, "Junior Sister Qingling, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Senior Sister Xia, I came here to ask you something."

"What is it?"

Today on my way back home I met a male cultivator who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining and should be mainly cultivating the Golden Spiritual Root.

There was a flash of abnormality on Ji Xia's face, but it only lasted for a moment before she recovered.

"What happened to this male cultivator?"

"It was like he was waiting for me on purpose, and he just found an excuse to attack me."

Ji Qingling stopped and observed Ji Xia.

The other party looked calm and didn't seem very surprised.

"There is such a thing. Did Junior Sister Qingling offend him before?"

Ji Qingling shook his head. "I'm very sure that I have never seen him before. Besides, from the time I joined until now, except for the one mission I did with you guys, I have been practicing almost all the time. I seldom go out or interact with other people."

"Is the junior sister injured?"

"No, but I beat him half to death."

"What!"

Ji Xia was shocked and a look of panic flashed across her face.

Ji Qingling stared at Ji Xia, "Sister, why are you so excited? Do you know this person?"

Ji Xia's face turned cold, "Junior Sister Qingling, what do you mean by this?"

There is indeed a problem.

"Don't be angry, Senior Sister. I came here today just to confirm one thing. I don't dare to make you angry. I'm not arrogant enough to do anything to a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Ji Xia didn't say anything. She was not afraid that Ji Qingling would know anything. No matter how good his aptitude was, he was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

I just didn’t expect that idiot Dou Bi wouldn’t be able to defeat a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator.

"How is Dou Bi?" she asked Ji Qingling.

As expected, I knew him, and his name was Dou Bi. He was really funny as his name suggested.

"I can probably guess why you did this?"

Ji Xia sneered, "Do you think it's me?"

After hearing what the other party said, Ji Qingling felt that it was similar to what she thought, so she continued to test the waters.

"I saw Senior Brother Ji Hong. After he saw that Dou Bi was defeated by me, he turned around and left."

"Oh, this is indeed Ji Hong's character. I didn't ask Dou Bi to go. Seriously speaking, I have nothing to do with this matter."

Ji Qingling was puzzled.

Ji Xia poured herself a glass of water, rubbed her fingers along the edge, and slowly told Ji Qingling everything.

It turned out that what Ji Qingyuan had heard before, that there was a problem with Ji Hong's team, was indeed true.

Because everyone's aptitude is not very good, it is impossible to practice on a daily basis relying only on the allowance from the sect.

Every family has its own team, and many captains of these family teams do this.

Therefore, some members of the clan will leave the family team after their cultivation level is improved.

But for new tribesmen or those who cultivate more slowly, they need someone with higher cultivation level to protect them.

This is actually quite normal. The law of the jungle is the law of survival in the world of immortals.

It’s just that Ji Hong was unwilling to let people come and go as they pleased. In order to win over more tribesmen, he came up with this crooked idea.

He was powerless against those with higher cultivation levels, but for those with lower cultivation levels, he sought out Dou Bi, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Dou Bi was stuck in the middle stage of Qi Refining for a long time and was unable to break through.

Dou Bi would go out of his way to cause trouble for those clansmen who refused to join the Ji family team. Of course, his main purpose was to scare them, but he would not seriously injure them.

Then Ji Hong came out to play the role of savior. After doing this once or twice, there would always be some people who joined. As for those who never joined, Ji Hong would not always cause trouble for them. After all, Dou Bi would also collect spirit stones when he took action.

Although the method was very stupid, the new members of the Ji family were all in their teens and had never seen the world.

Most people can't figure out the twists and turns.

Even if I find out later, I won't retaliate because we are from the same tribe.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ji Xia couldn't understand, "You haven't done any missions for a year, why are you being troubled again now?"

Ji Qingling thought for a moment, "I went to the Mission Hall today, and Ji Yuxiu saw me."

"That troublemaker? His cultivation is not high, but he has a lot of troubles."

Ji Qingling suddenly felt that Ji Xia was not so annoying anymore, probably because they both hated the same person.

"Junior Sister Qingling, whether you believe it or not, I am not involved in Ji Hong's affairs."

"But you knew about it. You watched Ji Hong treat his own people like this, but you didn't react at all."

Ji Xia laughed, "How do you want me to react? Has the Ji family ever taken care of me all these years? No one even notified me when my father got into trouble. I was always upset during that time, so I went back to the Ji family to check on him, but my father was gone. What's even more ridiculous is that when I went back, the house we lived in had been rented out by Ji He to a casual cultivator, saying that I would stay in Taiyi Sect all these years, and it would be a waste to leave the house empty."

Ji Qingling was silent. This Ji He was really a troublemaker.

"Besides, although these new members who joined the sect received less rewards for following Ji Hong to complete missions, Ji Hong did protect their safety. For example, Ji Wanli, who has been in the sect for 20 years and is still at the third level of Qi Refining, would have been bullied to death long ago if it weren't for Ji Hong's protection."

Ji Qingling disagreed with her statement, "If Ji Hong hadn't used any tricks, maybe Ji Wanli would have been able to get more resources, and he might have suddenly reached the middle stage of Qi Refining."

Ji Xia shook her head. "Whether it's the early or middle stage of Qi Refining, these things are not for me to decide. I have already told you the matter. I think with Ji Hong's character, he shouldn't take any action again after you beat him back once. You can rest assured."

Ji Qingling looked at her, "Senior Sister Xia, the Ji family is different now. The Great Elder has come out of seclusion, and the clan leaders and stewards have restrained themselves. When we first came back from Xiaowangshan, the steward and Ji He made things difficult for my mother and refused to give her the foundation-building pill. Later, my brother went straight to the Third Elder, and the foundation-building pill was in my mother's hands that day. You can go back to the Ji family when you have time. After all, that's where you and your father lived."

"Okay, but can you take me to see Dou Bi now? He is really not a bad guy. He has never done anything harsh over the years, but he still fell into your hands today."

Ji Qingling raised an eyebrow, "Senior Sister Xia seems to be quite concerned about this person."

"We have been friends for many years and he has helped me before."

Ji Qingling and the other person came under a short tree, but Dou Bi had not woken up yet.

Ji Xia looked at the bloody man on the ground and fed him a rejuvenation pill.

"Junior Sister Qingling, how did you hurt him like this?"

"Uh, I used the Explosion Talisman."

What kind of explosive talisman can hurt someone like this! Ji Xia didn't ask any more questions, "Then I'll take him back. I'll tell Ji Hong that you don't need to worry anymore."

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister. Take care, Senior Sister."

Ji Qingling told Ji Qingyuan and Ji Hui about this and reminded them to be careful.

Seeing that she did not suffer any loss, the two men did not say anything about settling the score with Ji Hong.

There is still a long way to go and there will always be opportunities in the future.

The current Ji Qingling is not someone they can protect, so the best thing is not to hold her back.

Thank you Huaihe, Yunshenyuxi and Suiwan for your tips.

And to the ladies who gave me monthly tickets, thank you so much!
