Chapter 9: Kill him outside the door!

Rumors are something that some people believe while others don't.

Especially since Ji You never came out after returning home, not long after, someone seized on the strange logic in the rumor and analyzed that Ji You was not an immortal.

This man's name is Wang San and his home is in Nanyahe.

Two and a half years ago, he also worked in the Ji family, but was later expelled for petty theft.

When the Ji family met with disaster that day, he was the first one to come out and cheer. Now, when he heard that Ji You was an immortal, he naturally could not accept it.

During this period, some people also refuted the claim that the girl from the Qiu family had returned safely, but they were all responded with a sentence "Let's not talk about that for now."

But then, a group of households with some wealth in the county rushed to Paifang Street, waiting anxiously in front of the door with rice, grain and livestock, which made Wang San fall silent.

These families who rushed to Paifang Street had taken some of the Ji family's property and shared a piece of the sweet soup when the Ji family was in trouble.

Most of the things they could not take away during the escape, such as oxen, utensils, and farm tools, were divided up by them.

More than two years of peace and tranquility had already made them feel safe and secure, especially when they saw Young Master Ji hanging around the streets without any ambition, they felt that it was only natural for him to usurp power.

It was not until Master Fang called them to the government office and told them the truth.

The fear of impending death made them restless, so they picked up whatever they could and rushed to apologize.

However, the door of Ji's house remained closed and no one responded, which made them sweat profusely.

Finally, someone with quick thinking showed them a way out, so they hurried out of the city and returned all the things to the Qiu family.

"These people are usually quite friendly with Master Fang, and they even robbed two mu of my family's food ration land..."

"It seems that the rumors in the county are true..."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop looking and leave immediately. No one is allowed to gather or make noise in front of the Immortal!"

Just as a group of people were talking about what was going on, a group of police officers came in with sticks in their hands, some of them had slightly swollen cheeks.

So at this moment, the reputation of the Ji family's immortal began to truly intimidate everyone.

In fact, Yuyang County Magistrate Fang Zhongzheng also wanted to come and apologize.

He went to work with the errand boy early in the morning. When he returned home and saw the ground covered with chrysanthemums, he became furious. Then he listened to the servants' story about Ji You and remained silent for a long time.

Who would have thought that the son-in-law whom he looked down upon that day would make Fengxian Villa dare not say a word today.

But as soon as he stepped out of the house, he was stopped by his daughter.

"Dad, your daughter will also be an immortal in the Heavenly Academy. She just started a little later than Ji You. Why is she so humble?"

"Ruoyao, immortal matters are not something to be trifled with."

"If you really go and apologize, won't it prove to the whole county that I took advantage of someone's misfortune two years ago and was unfaithful to my husband?!"

Fang Ruoyao already possessed considerable divine power, and her tough attitude made Fang Zhongzheng give up the idea of ​​going to Ji's house.

He didn't know what it was like to cultivate immortality, but he felt that what his daughter said made some sense. Since they were all students of Tianshu Academy, no one should be inferior to anyone else.

Just as he was about to sit down and drink tea and take a closer look at the grain books, he saw Cao Jinsong coming out of the government office with a sword in his hand, then he soared into the sky, cursing harshly.

"Xiao An, where is Immortal Cao going?"

"Master, Immortal Cao sensed a spiritual energy sweeping through the sky, saying that the people from Fengxian Villa have returned again and want to dig out Master Ji. Immortal Cao is almost mad, and is planning to kill them all with a sword."

The servant who was specifically responsible for serving the two immortals said this and then hurriedly followed.

Listening to the endless "Niang Xipi" in the air, Fang Zhongzheng was silent for a long time. Finally, he packed up some silver and rushed to Qiu's house outside the city.

In addition to Fang Zhongzheng, the Hu family who occupied the Ji family's property, and the immortal of Fengxian Villa, there were others who also wanted to meet Ji You.

At dusk, the sun sets in the west and the sky is silent.

Kuang Cheng walked around the back alley and came to the Ji family's ancestral home. He stopped and looked at the faded red and ink-stained couplets on the door.

After Ji You's story reached the Kuang family, the elders in the family knew that they were childhood friends, so they asked him to come and visit. After all, in today's world, if he could meet an immortal, it might be a chance to save his life.

He was bolder than the others. After hesitating for only a moment, he pushed open the door, stepped in, and came to the second entrance of the Ji family's ancestral home.

The Ji family had emptied the house when they fled, leaving only broken bricks and tiles and shattered pottery fragments scattered among the knee-high weeds and some light green moss, making the house look desolate.

"It's strange how things work in this world. Even though the people in the yard are gone, the grass is growing lush and green."

Kuang Cheng was slightly stunned. When he looked up, Ji You's voice came from the room, as if he had already noticed it.

This is probably the magic of immortal cultivators.

Kuang Cheng stopped in front of the door, looked into the room in silence for a long time before speaking: "These past two days, even if someone scolded you for being greedy for life and afraid of death through the wall, you pretended not to know. In fact, you are working hard to break through the realm?"

"What? Someone dared to call me a coward through the wall?"

Kuang Cheng touched his nose and said, "No, no, maybe I heard it wrong."

Ji You was silent for a moment, and then a voice rang out from inside the room: "I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be alienated. I won't pretend anymore, let's be frank."

Kuang Cheng took a step forward and said, "So that evening, when you heard me talking about the Heavenly Academy, you didn't want to ask Fang Ruoyao for help, but wanted to become a disciple of the Heavenly Academy?"

"How can anyone place hope on a woman who hurriedly breaks off the engagement when her fiancé suffers a tragic family tragedy?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"I see……"

After hearing this, Kuang Cheng laughed at himself.

People always say that scholars are pedantic, but he thinks that is just the prejudice of the world.

But after experiencing this incident, he realized that when something happened, he could only curse people, but he couldn't even tell who he should curse in the end.

Kuang Cheng paused for a moment, then bowed stiffly and said, "Master Ji, I was disrespectful to you in the past. My father gave me a lesson after learning about it. I want to hold a banquet at home tonight to make amends to you."

Ji You was silent for a moment and then said, "No thanks, I've already eaten, please go back."

"I think a glass of wine would be okay?"

"leave."

Kuang Cheng was stunned for a while, then bowed, said goodbye, turned and walked out.

He was not the kind of person who would flatter others. If his family had not forced him to come, he might not have set foot here. Seeing that the other party did not appreciate it, he naturally would not stay any longer.

In fact, he felt a little relieved that his childhood friend was a kind-hearted person, and that was enough.

As for the friendship of the past, Kuang Cheng did not think too much about it.

Ji You is now a disciple of the Tianshu Academy who has reached the third level of perfection. He has a noble status and is above the world. He is very different from a commoner like him.

I still remember that Fang Ruoyao seemed to be like this at the beginning, and suddenly became arrogant.

She herself once explained that it was because a cultivator needed to have a pure mind, not be happy with material things or sad with themselves, only in this way could they reach the top of the avenue, and it was not that she looked down on her old friend.

I don't know whether it's true or not, but I can accept it.

However, just as Kuang Cheng took a step forward, there was a clanging sound suddenly coming from the room behind him, like the sound of wooden objects such as tables and chairs falling to the ground, accompanied by a muffled groan, as if someone had fallen to the ground.

Kuang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly and he stepped into the room.

At this time, Ji You was slumped on the ground, his left hand still on the fallen wooden chair, his lips were full of blood, and the collar of his white robe was stained with large patches of blood red.

Some of them had obviously turned dark, and looked like they had been vomited on the body earlier and had now dried up.

"I told you not to come in, but you went in anyway, you ignorant child. Now that I have perfected my skill of coughing up blood, I will use you to practice my skills!"

"?"

Kuang Cheng looked at him in silence for a long time, not believing it at all.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Ji You also fell into silence with him.
