Shi Miao was stunned. This man's confidence actually came from her? Of course, looking at what Ji Jingyao had done for her, Shi Miao would not really want him to get into trouble.
Just seeing how confident he was, I felt a subtle discomfort.
"Then you have to please me well."
"Well, to please you."
Ji Jingyao also paid for their travel. They took Ji Jingyao's private plane directly to the airport at the foot of the Taixu Gate.
Flying a private jet is indeed convenient. Shi Miao even considered getting one, but she decided against it. She didn't go out much on weekdays.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the Ji family's driver picked them up and took them up the mountain. After an hour's drive, they arrived at the sect's gate. The Taixu Sect's disciples were already waiting there.
When they saw Shi Miao and Ji Jingyao getting out of the car, they were stunned. One of them was handsome and the other had beautiful features. Standing together, they were a completely different scene from the others. They also recognized the two seniors, Chen Chunrang and Yu Wang, who were standing behind Shi Miao.
Although they knew from watching the live broadcast that these two people had Shi Miao as their master, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. These two were both seniors with considerable strength!
They came forward and asked, "Is this Master Shi?" Their mood inevitably became subtle. Shi Miao was younger than them, but he was already on equal footing with his predecessors, while they, the disciples, were currently just doing odd jobs.
Shi Miao nodded slightly, and Chen Chunrang took out the invitations for them.
The senior disciple of Taixu Sect only then realized that the person who came with Shi Miao was the legendary Ji Jingyao. Ji Jingyao didn't come with Wenshi Sect, but with Shi Miao instead? Were they really that close?
Wei Qingqiu thought so too. Her eyes fell on Ji Jingyao, and she felt a faint sense of crisis in her heart.
For the sake of cultivation, she had long considered Ji Jingyao as her own possession. It seemed that she had to take the initiative this time.
She walked up to Ji Jingyao and smiled shyly with a hint of admiration. "I didn't expect Brother Jingyao to come today. I haven't thanked you for helping me at the banquet before. Let me be your tour guide today as a way of repaying you."
When she said he had helped her, it was just that she had an argument with other rich girls at the banquet, and Ji Jingyao happened to be there. The others didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of him, so they stopped being sarcastic to her.
Ji Jingyao's expression was cold: "I only have one sister. Do you usually call your brother like this?"
Even his younger sister, Ji Rongzhen, would not usually call him Brother Jingyao. Ji Jingyao usually thought that people who called him that had ulterior motives.
Although Wei Qingqiu wasn't a stunning beauty, she was a charming little beauty. Taixu Sect didn't have many female disciples, and she was usually the most admired of the disciples. Ji Jingyao's cold attitude had left her somewhat hurt.
How could he do this? Shouldn't he, a mere man, be flattered by her kindness and affection towards him?
She showed a somewhat aggrieved expression. "I just thought we were acquaintances, so I wanted to do my best to be a good host. Why do you think of me that way? If you're not used to people calling you that, then I won't."
Seeing her like this, Wei Qingqiu's brothers immediately became protective of her and spoke up for her. "Even if you are the Patriarch of the Ji Family, you can't be so self-indulgent. My little sister only has the Great Dao in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have become the youngest Qi Refining disciple."
While Wei Qingqiu's genius brought them pressure, it also made everyone in the Taixu Sect proud, already considering her the next successor. Ji Jingyao's status was indeed first-class in the secular world, but no matter how rich he was, he would still be inferior to the future head of the Taixu Sect.
Cheng Zhiming asked, "How old is Miss Wei this year?"
Wei Qingqiu didn't answer, so the others spoke for her, "Twenty-three."
Cheng Zhiming showed a puzzled expression, "Isn't the youngest Qi Refining disciple my master? My master isn't even twenty yet."
Her master is so powerful and doesn't even show off, so what can they show off? If you don't know, you might think this title is very important!
Chen Chunrang said, "Junior sister, what you said is wrong. Master doesn't count. She is not a Qi Refining Stage disciple."
The outside world speculated that Master was at the Foundation Establishment stage, but only they, his disciples, knew that Master had already reached the legendary Golden Core realm. A Golden Core cultivator hadn't appeared in Xuanmen records for three hundred years, and even more terrifying, Master wasn't even twenty years old. Chen Chunrang and Yu Wang were both well aware of the outcome of this discussion. Besides Master, who else could claim first place?
The Taixu Sect disciples who had just praised Wei Qingqiu were suddenly embarrassed. Shi Miao had never publicly disclosed her cultivation level, but the abilities she displayed daily were definitely at the Foundation Establishment stage. And she was even younger than Junior Sister Qingqiu...
It was all because Shi Miao was too powerful, which led them to subconsciously regard her and the master as being in the same group.
The original sense of pride was immediately discounted.
Ji Jingyao looked at them. They were all members of the Xuan Sect, and disciples of major sects. Even wealthy nobles wouldn't rush to offend them. But for some reason, he had a hunch: even if he was just an ordinary person, if he took action, none of them would survive.
Another disciple coughed and changed the subject, "You guys arrived pretty quickly. Did you reach the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night?"
The entire mountain was their territory, and they had set up several formations to confuse anyone ascending the mountain, which was a minor challenge. For example, the Four Elephants Sect took almost a day to successfully ascend the mountain.
Cheng Zhiming looked innocent. "This journey isn't that long, is it? Won't it only take an hour to get there?"
