Chapter 37
After a long silence, a sentence floated out from the barrage.
"Am I right? Qiyue is a martial artist, that's why he has such great strength and was able to kick the monster away with one kick."
Other viewers also reacted and the barrage of comments immediately exploded.
"No, brother, is this just a martial artist's skill? Don't you see how heavy this monster is? It must be at least as heavy as a truck, right? Is this a light and effortless kick that a martial artist can pull off? I'm afraid it must be at the level of a master of the internal martial arts."
Oh my god! So you flower growers really do know how to do it!
[Oh no! There are actually foreign friends here. I’m really at a loss as to what to say!]
[Foreign brothers, you misunderstood. July is not kung fu, it is magic.]
[So you flower-growing family members can really cultivate and become immortals! ! ! ! !]
[…………This is even more difficult to explain.]
[Please stop digressing! Shouldn't the shocking part right now be that the ghost Xue Tinghe had been fighting so coolly for a long time but couldn't kill was easily defeated by Qi Yue with a single kick?]
[A true boss can often knock out his enemy with just a simple kick.]
Xue Tinghe now seems like a clown showing off his skills in front of a big shot, so fake.
[Last second, me: Master Xue is so handsome! Now, me: Xue Tinghe is so lame, July is the one who really dazzles me!]
[Isn't it said that July is a vase stand-in? The childhood sweetheart stand-in is not only prettier than the original, but even more capable. Are there any other stand-ins like this? Give me a dozen, please!]
[Is there a possibility that the childhood sweetheart's stand-in is the original, and the one with the surname Xue is the stand-in?]
But there are still some Xue fans who are unwilling to believe that Xue Tinghe is really so inferior to Qi Yue, and try hard to save his reputation.
[This is obviously fake, there's a script! The crew wrote this script just to promote July, right? It was like this last time, and it's the same this time. Our Master Xue is just a rock that anyone can step on, right?]
"No, at this point, there are still people who think this is fake? Are your special effects capable of making the entire audience feel dizzy, nauseous, and frozen?"
The ordinary audience in the barrage was noisy, and the Tianshi masters on the Tianshi forum were also not calm, and hundreds of floors were refreshed in an instant.
But the points of their quarrel were different.
[36th Floor: Could this be the true use of the Qi Family Formation? Why doesn't Xue Tinghe, the heir of the Qi Family who inherited the Qi Family's legacy, know this, while Qi Yue knows it so clearly?]
…
[102F: Coincidence, right?]
[112th Floor: Qiyue kicked the Neng Guifu over ten meters away with one kick. With such ability, do you think this could be a coincidence?]
…
The doubts of the Heavenly Masters were exactly what Xue Tinghe was most concerned about at the moment. Shocked, suspicious, and even overwhelmed by a strong sense of fear and unease, he couldn't pretend anymore. His face twisted after the shock, and he demanded, "Impossible! How could anyone know how to control the Qi Family's formation? Besides me, there's no one else here who's familiar with the Qi Family's formation!"
Qi Yue swung his foot in disgust, then looked up with an innocent look on his face: "What formation? What did you say? I just kicked it casually, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."
Xue Tinghe was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He gritted his teeth and said, "Stop pretending! I saw it with my own eyes. When you kicked the ghost viper, the cinnabar rune of the Qi family talisman array appeared on the sole of your foot. If you weren't familiar with the Qi family talisman array, how could you have so accurately manipulated the rune to cover your sole? If you hadn't mobilized the talisman array here, you wouldn't have been able to kick the ghost viper so far with just one kick!"
"Oh," Qi Yue said, half-smiled, "So you admit that you're not very skilled, which is why you're so extravagant in creating large swathes of cinnabar runes."
Xue Tinghe choked and shouted angrily: "Qi Yue, you really did learn the Qi family's magic!"
Qi Yue tilted his head, as if he had heard the funniest joke: "Stealing knowledge? What makes you say I stole knowledge?"
Xue Tinghe straightened his back and raised his chin, as if he could look down on Qi Yue with condescending disdain. He said with great pride, "Because I am the last and only heir of the Qi family. Without my permission, the Qi family techniques you learned were naturally stolen!"
In today's Taoist community, stealing academic knowledge is a very serious accusation that will be nailed to the pillar of shame for a long time.
Qi Yue was shocked by his shamelessness in treating the Qi family as his own property.
Xue Tinghe thought he was afraid, so he sneered and said, "Qi Yue, why don't you tell me the truth? Where did you steal the Qi family magic from?"
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow: "You've called my name so many times, and you still haven't figured out where I learned it from?"
Not only Xue Tinghe, but even the Heavenly Masters who were paying close attention to the live broadcast room were stunned.
Qi Yue's name? What were those two characters? July? That's wrong!
Qi? Qi? Qi? Qi? Pray...
When they thought of that word, it was as if a layer of fog had been lifted before their eyes, and they finally saw the truth that they had subconsciously ignored.
The Celestial Masters immediately looked back at their forum posts. They found the phrase "July" throughout, including the comments in the livestream and online discussions. Surprisingly, no one had ever considered the two characters in Qi Yue's name; they all subconsciously assumed it was pronounced Qi Yue and written as "July." Even the veteran Celestial Master, who had practiced for decades, didn't notice anything amiss.
A technique that could obscure a person's memory and cognition on such a large scale was not something anyone could easily perform. Even now, no one in the Heavenly World knew that such a technique existed.
All the Heavenly Masters gasped in shock, so Qi Yue’s real surname was Qi, and he was a true member of the Qi family!
There's actually someone else in the Qi family! And at such a young age, he's already so talented. He's truly one of the Qi family members, known for their sheer talent and prowess!
The Heavenly Masters' eyes suddenly lit up, and they stared at Qi Yue on the screen with burning gazes.
In contrast to them, Xue Tinghe's face turned pale instantly, and he looked at Qi Yue in fear and disbelief, as if he had seen something more terrifying than a ghost.
"The last and only heir of the Qi family?"
Qi Yue slowly repeated what he had just called himself, his expression indifferent, and slowly uttered three words: "You. Don't. Deserve.
Each of these three words was like a falling planet, slamming hard into Xue Tinghe's heart, causing his world to collapse and the end of the world to come.
Feeling dizzy, he seemed to have returned to the time when he had not yet been chosen as an apprentice by the president of the Tianshi Association, and all kinds of mocking and ridiculing voices were always coming from all directions around him.
"Look, he's the son of Xue Zhao and Wang Yao, the eldest grandson of the Xue family. Look at how shabby he looks, even worse than the poor students who rely on my family's work-study program."
"Who told Xue Zhao and Wang Yao to be kicked out of the Xue and Wang families? I'm afraid that Mr. Xue hasn't even looked at his eldest grandson in all these years."
"Tsk tsk tsk, the eldest grandson of the Xue family should be honored and respected, but he has fallen into such a miserable state. How pitiful."
"If you want to blame someone, blame his good parents. One was originally the Xue family's most promising heir, and the other was the Wang family's most favored daughter. Their powerful combination should have made Xue Zhao's position more stable. But they chose to commit suicide and offended that person. Both the Xue and Wang families will hate them to death."
A sharp female voice suddenly rang out, "You rubbish, you're not even fit to carry shoes for the Xue or Wang families, yet you dare to gossip here! So what if we're kicked out? Blood is thicker than water, even broken bones still connect the tendons! Ting He is so outstanding, my father and father-in-law will definitely like him and take him in. When that happens, I'll tear your mouths apart! Just wait and see!"
The woman turned around and hugged her, crying bitterly: "Son, you are the eldest grandson of the Xue family and the grandson of the Wang family. You shouldn't have to suffer so much. You must strive for honor and make the Xue and Wang families regret it."
Xue Zhao patted his shoulder and said to him earnestly, "Son, you must remember that you are the eldest grandson of the Xue family. Your father and I should have been the heirs of the Xue family. Your mother is the most favored eldest daughter of the Wang family. The Xue family should have been ours, so you must work hard and be good enough to make your grandfather change his mind and take you back."
From the time he was born to college, his parents always nagged him that he was the eldest grandson of the Xue family, that the Xue family should be theirs, and that he must work hard to return to the Xue family.
But no matter how outstanding he was, it was useless. The elders of the Xue and Wang families would stay away from him when they saw him, and his peers would only ridicule him or pass by him as if they didn't know him.
The old men of the Xue and Wang families even treated him, their grandson, as if he didn't exist.
He felt very confused. Could he still be recognized by the Xue and Wang families?
Until that day, he was chosen by the president of the Tianshi Association as his apprentice, and he also received the inheritance talisman of the Qi family, becoming the heir of the Qi family. From that moment on, everything changed dramatically.
Those who once mocked and ridiculed him came to confess their sins in tears. The Xue and Wang families who had looked down on him took the initiative to find him and tried to please him with the utmost flattery.
His grandparents hugged him and cried, telling him about the difficulties they had to endure over the years. They said they would compensate him and give him everything he wanted.
Grandfather finally saw him and gave him an approving smile.
Dad also returned to the Xue family and was once again respected, and Mom became the most favored eldest daughter of the Wang family. He could finally become the eldest grandson of the Xue family and the grandson of the Wang family.
And all this is because he has become the heir of the Qi family. Even the master values him so much because he is the heir of the Qi family.
He has always been clear that he must not lose his identity as the heir of the Qi family.
Therefore, he always flaunted his identity as the heir of the Qi family in a high-profile manner.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot lose his identity as the heir of the Qi family. He doesn't want to go back to the situation where he had nothing and anyone could step on him at will!
Things are not yet at the point of no return.
What about Qi's family? The Tianshi Association has the final say in the Tianshi world, and his master has absolute power within the association. As long as his master says Qi Yue is fake, then even if he is real, he can only be fake!
Or let Qi Yue die here, die at the hands of ghosts, and he will be the only heir of the Qi family in the future.
This consciousness became clearer and firmer, and Xue Tinghe's confused mind finally became clear. He looked at Qi Yue opposite him with vicious eyes.
Qi Yue raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. The clone he left beside Shuangshuang sensed the threat. Something happened to Shuangshuang!
"I don't want to waste my time with you. Let your old friend greet you!"
As July finished speaking, thick dark clouds rolled in and instantly blocked out the sun. The light quickly dimmed, and a cold wind blew in a gray fog that surrounded the yard, making it impossible to see outside.
Qi Yue also disappeared in the gray fog.
Xue Tinghe thought of the formation that had tricked him during the last live broadcast, and realized that it was Qi Yue who was behind it. He sneered, "Are you trying to trick me into thinking it's a ghost realm with a little formation again? Tricks don't work after you use them once."
All the Heavenly Masters in the live broadcast room couldn't help but curse. Not only did they mistake a basic entry-level combination formation for a ghost domain last time, but now this situation obviously cannot be explained by an ordinary formation. The ghost energy rising to the sky is probably a real ghost domain. Xue Tinghe actually regarded this as a small formation. It is really stupid!
Someone slowly walked out of the gray fog. She was a thin young woman with messy hair and a bruised face. One eye and cheek were swollen, and blood was oozing from her forehead to her temples, staining half of her body red. Her hands and feet were twisted at an incredible angle, and she was limping and staggering as she walked.
Xue Tinghe obviously recognized her and his expression changed.
The woman spoke slowly, her voice dark. "Why? I was so badly hurt by that family of three. You knew everything, so why did you help them catch me? You were still live streaming at the time, so why did you let that family of three slander me at will and not defend me?"
