“Yes!”
The gloom in the woman’s eyes seemed to disappear as she nodded and whispered, “Father and our uncles have already approved. As long as Wufeng can be cured by him and regain the position of Divine Son, it’ll surely be a good thing for us.”
Ji Wuyun immediately looked anxious. “No, elder sister! Father and our uncles are confused. Why are you as confused as they are? This is clearly a scheme to rob us by the Divine Farmer Clan. Not only do they require you to marry one of their clan, but they also want us to hand over the Dark Shadow Blood Kill Inscription of the Dark Shadow PaG.o.da Sect. If this news became known by the other people in our clan…”
“Shut up!” The woman scowled and stopped Ji Wuyun.
At this moment, she had realized that strangers were present. She was also surprised that they were even at the gate of the Dark Shadow PaG.o.da Sect. Ji Wuyun had just revealed these secrets, which were likely to bring disaster on their family.
If it was only the fact that she was marrying into the Divine Farmer Clan, it wouldn’t be a big sin.
If Ji Wufeng regained the position of Divine Son, the status of the Ji Family in the Dark Shadow PaG.o.da Sect would even rise. She, Ji Qinghan, was willing to sacrifice herself for this.
However, the conditions of the Drug Deity included that they had to hand over the Dark Shadow Blood Kill Inscription. Once the other people in the clan found out that the Ji Family had privately leaked the secret arts of the clan, which was a sin punishable by the death of all in the family, it gave the other members of the clan a motive to kill the Ji Family.
“Wuyun, these are…” Ji Qinghan, eyes alert, looked at Xu Que and the others.
Ji Wuyun immediately felt his spirits lift, and he said with joy, “Well, elder sister, these are the capable people of the Exploding Heavens Faction. Especially Brother Xu, who is the son of Xu Que’s father.”
“What?” Ji Qinghan suddenly exclaimed, her face full of horror.
Although Ji Wuyun had introduced Xu Que as his father’s son, which sounded reasonable, it was a bit awkward. After all, everyone had only heard of Xu Que’s father, but no one knew Xu Que’s father’s real name.
However, this was enough to make Ji Wuyun’s sister feel panic.
Actually, at this time, the two major powers of the Ziwei Celestial Realm, as well as all the other families, including the Divine Farmer Clan, were looking for Xu Que’s father and Xu Que.
Even the slogan had already spread throughout the whole Heaven Continent: kill Xu Que, then kill his father!
Now, just after the Ji Family had invited the Drug Deity of the Divine Farmer Clan to visit, Ji Wuyun had brought Xu Que here, which was simply asking for trouble.
“Elder sister, listen to me before you get all panicky. You all know about the friends.h.i.+p between me and his father. If he’s willing to help, Brother Wufeng will surely be saved. Then we don’t have to live subject to the Divine Farmer Clan,” Ji Wuyun explained.
“Nonsense!”
Ji Qinghan immediately bit her lower lip to suppress her anger and stared at Ji Wuyun, “No one can save your brother’s life except the Drug Deity. Even if Xu Que’s father once caused the Peach Garden to recover, it has nothing to do with your brother’s illness. It can’t be true that you still believe the rumors from the outside world that your brother will recover after sleeping with him?”
“Shut up!” Xu Que suddenly shouted at Ji Qinghan, “You are so bold that you dare to talk rudely about my father.”
Xu Que looked at Ji Wuyun with a gloomy face, “Brother Ji, is this what you said to me, that no one would dare to provoke us? Look at your sister. Is this her att.i.tude toward talking to a handsome young man?”
“No, Brother Xu, it’s only because my sister is confused by anger, please ignore her. I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation,” Ji Wuyun said in a hurry.
Maybe others didn’t believe in the capability of Xu Que’s father, but he did. After all, he had seen with his own eyes how capable Xu Que’s father was with ancient relics. He was a man who could create infinite miracles.
“No need. Since Miss Ji doesn’t welcome us, we aren’t comfortable staying. ‘Bye!” Xu Que gave him a fist and palm salute and turned to leave.
Xu Que had decided to leave because he could tell with only a glance that Ji Wuyun had obviously no voice in this family. If he stayed, he would encounter the Drug Deity of the Divine Farmer Clan. Then there would be a chance that Xu Que could be sold by the Ji Family.
“Wait a minute, Brother Xu. Please, listen to me for a second,” Ji Wuyun was anxious, holding onto Xu Que.
“Not a word, I already know why you invited us to come over. To tell you the truth, my father is not in the Heaven Continent now. However, even if he had a way to cure your brother, I’m afraid he can’t help because I can’t contact him either,” Xu Que replied, shaking his head.
“Then…” Ji Wuyun suddenly stood still.
“Brother Ji, relax, it’s not your fault. You are a good friend of mine.” Xu Que smiled, patted Ji Wuyun on the shoulder, and then turned to leave.
Before they took a step forward, the voice of Ji Qinghan rang out from behind them, “Stop, you can’t leave from here!”
She walked up quickly and looked at Xu Que with a unemotional face, “The Drug Deity of the Divine Farmer Clan is just outside the city, ready to enter. If you leave from here, you will definitely encounter him, which will bring us unnecessary trouble.”
“Oh? Then you want me to go out through the back door?” Xu Que smiled and asked.
“No, there is only one teleportation device in Tian Sha City to exit or enter, and there’s no such thing as a back door.” Ji Qinghan shook her head.
“Well, do you mean that you want to put us under house arrest?” Xu Que suddenly sneered.
If it was to let them go through the back door to avoid the members of the Divine Farmer Clan, for Ji Wuyun’s sake he could accept.
But if this woman named Ji Qinghan really intended to put them under house arrest, then he couldn’t possibly bear it. Even if she was Ji Wuyun’s sister, this was way too much to stand.
“Little Brother Xu, please forgive me. I’m doing this for your own good. The Drug Deity of the Divine Farmer Clan is already a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, so if you encounter him, he will definitely not let you go alive.”
Ji Qinghan shook his head slightly and continued, “You were brought here by my brother. If you are killed in Tian Sha City, we wouldn’t be able to live down the shame. Also, we would get into some unnecessary trouble. So I would like to ask you to stay in the backyard for the time being, and when the Drug Deity leaves, you will…”
“Sorry, I cannot accept this request,” Xu Que interrupted Ji Qinghan and shook his head.
Even if Ji Qinghan had put it in fancy words, it couldn’t change the fact that this was no different from house arrest.
Xu Que had planned to stop keeping a low profile before he left the Heaven Continent, so he’d fought a great battle with the Sage Sect. Now he was back, how could he continue to live a life on the down low? What’s the difference between being a man and a dead fish if he didn’t have any b.a.l.l.s?
What’s more, Ji Qinghan had also revealed that the Drug Deity of the Divine Farmer Clan was only a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven. If Xu Que unlocked the seal, he could kill him in minutes. Moreover, Zixia Fairy was also here with him. Xu Que really couldn’t think of any reason to avoid the Drug Deity.
Ji Qinghan was slightly stunned, seemingly surprised by the unexpected response from Xu Que. She scowled a little and said, “Little Brother Xu, are you going to throw yourself into the net?”
“Ha, ha, I’m afraid the person who throws himself into the net will be this Drug Deity of the Divine Farmer Clan,” Xu Que replied, shaking his head and smiling.
Ji Qinghan’s beautiful eyebrows immediately rose straight up, and she couldn’t help shaking her head and sighing. After all, he was so young that he dared to boast, just as the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
The Drug Deity of the Divine Farmer Clan was a True Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven, while this Xu Que was just at the Human Celestial Stage. Even with the protection of a strong guardian at the Golden Celestial Stage, how could he be a match for the Drug Deity?
It was ridiculous for him to boast.
