Chapter 8 The Ji Family's Situation

In the reception hall, Master Xue was chatting and laughing with Ling Yunfei.

At this moment, the two guards in Tsing Yi suddenly rushed into the lobby and hurriedly handed over to report.

"Qi Xue Lao, the big thing is bad! Ji Tianxing killed Gu Hao, the third young master of the Gu family, in public!"

"Report to Elder Xue, this matter just happened, just outside the gate of the medicine hall, Gu Hao was killed by Ji Tianxing!"

Hearing this news, Master Xue and Ling Yunfei's chatting and laughter stopped abruptly, and their expressions changed.

Master Xue frowned and shouted sharply, "What? How dare Ji Tianxing kill Gu Hao in public outside the gate of the Spirit Medicine Hall?"

"This bastard, is it because he begged to see the old man and was rejected, and only murdered in the street out of shame?"

Master Xue's face was a little gloomy, and his expression was changing.

Ling Yunfei also frowned and murmured in surprise, "Ji Tianxing actually killed Gu Hao?"

"How is this possible? He has clearly become a waste of the third level of body refining. How can he beat Gu Hao, who is at the fifth level of body refining? Can he still kill him with one palm?"

Ling Yunfei's eyes became cold, and she thought to herself, "No, I have to discuss with the little prince quickly and find a way to get rid of Ji Tianxing as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be more variables later!"

So, Ling Yunfei exchanged a few words with Master Xue, and found an excuse to leave.

After she left, Master Xue gave the order to the two guards in Tsing Yi: "You two, go to look after Gu Hao's body now, and send someone to the Gu family to report the news."

"There is an injustice and a debt, and this matter has nothing to do with my Spirit Medicine Hall. The people of the Gu family will naturally go to the Ji family to discuss it."

The two Tsing Yi guards handed over their orders, turned and left the lobby.

...

Ji Tianxing's carriage returned to Jifu.

As soon as he and Huan'er got off the carriage, a young servant came to spread the word, saying that the master was waiting for him in the study.

"Father got the news that I killed Gu Hao so soon?"

Ji Tianxing raised his brows and murmured in a low voice, "No, my father must be looking for me for something else."

So, he let Huan'er go back to the room alone, and went to the study in the main courtyard by himself.

At the door of the study, before Ji Tianxing entered the room, he heard a violent cough.

He hurriedly stepped into the study, and saw that only his father, Ji Changkong, was in the study.

Ji Changkong sat on the large rattan chair behind the book desk, his face was withered and yellow, his spirit was very haggard, and a few strands of white hair emerged from his black hair, which was particularly conspicuous.

He held the handkerchief to cover his mouth, tried his best to suppress his coughing, and his breathing became much heavier.

Ji Tianxing glanced at his father's handkerchief, and saw that the white handkerchief was stained with scarlet blood.

At this time, when Ji Changkong saw him entering the study, he quietly put away the handkerchief and hid it in his sleeve.

Ji Changkong forced a smile, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Tianxing, you are here, is your body... getting better?"

Seeing his father's appearance, Ji Tianxing felt a little sad, and said with a worried face: "Father, my body is fine, you don't need to worry."

"It's your body... have you seen it with the doctor?"

Ji Changkong waved his hand and said, "Tianxing, don't worry about me, it's just that the old injury has relapsed. The doctor has seen it and it's fine."

Ji Tianxing was silent, but the fists in his sleeves were secretly clenched, and his mood became heavier.

He knew very well that since his father fought against Lord Sword Sect ten years ago, he had left a dark wound in his heart.

After seeing the doctor, they all said that this dark wound cannot be cured, and it can only be carefully nursed every day.

Moreover, Ji Changkong can no longer use his true essence, otherwise his lifespan will be shortened, and it is very likely that he will not live to fifty years old.

In the past few years, Ji Changkong's dark wounds have recurred several times, and each time he was tortured to the point of death, and he aged several years overnight.

At this time, Ji Changkong interrupted Ji Tianxing's thoughts, and said solemnly: "Tianxing, you have been in a coma before, and I have no chance to ask you as a father."

"Later, I sent someone to investigate for my father. Before your accident, you went up to Tiange Mountain alone with Ling Yunfei. You fell unconscious that night and was sent back to the house by her."

"My father always felt that this matter was strange. What happened to you and Ling Yunfei? Why did their power dissipate overnight and fell to the third level of body refining?"

"You tell your father, is this a conspiracy of Ling Yunfei? Did the Ling family make you like this?"

When he spoke, Ji Changkong's face was as gloomy as ice, and there were traces of hatred and murderous intent in his eyes.

Obviously, he had already seen something strange and suspected that Ji Tianxing's abolition had something to do with the Ling family.

As the head of the Ji family, one of the four great families, how could his thoughts and methods be comparable to ordinary people?

Even if Ling Yunfei was eloquent and made up a lot of reasons to get rid of this matter, he would not be able to escape his suspicion.

After all, the Ji family is a family that has been passed down for nearly a hundred years, and it is one of the four pillars of Qingyun Kingdom.

The Ji family is engaged in forging swords and weapons, and controls nearly half of the forging workshops in Qingyun.

Most of the millions of sergeants in Qingyun Kingdom used weapons made and forged by the Ji family.

The swords used by countless swordsmen and kendo masters in the country are also from the hands of the Ji family.

The wealth and power of the Ji family are enough to make the royal family fear three points.

Ji Changkong controls the huge Ji family, and can hold the century-old foundation without declining, how can he be mediocre?

Ji Tianxing had long expected that his father would definitely suspect the Ling family, but the evidence has not yet been investigated.

Once his father gets the evidence, he will definitely use up the wealth and power of the Ji family and retaliate against the Ling family at any cost.

Because he is his father's most beloved son and the most proud Ji family genius.

Since his mother died after he was born, his father felt ashamed, so he loved him very much, and devoted his life to training and teaching him.

Many times Ji Tianxing felt that even if he killed the prince or the emperor one day, his father would not hesitate to rebel for him and break with the Qingyun Dynasty!

Now that his dantian has been destroyed and he has become a waste, his father will never let the Ling family go, even if the fish die and the net is broken!

But this is exactly what Ji Tianxing did not want to see.

In the past ten years, the Ji family has become the target of public criticism. I don't know how many forces have tried to bring down the Ji family, and even the royal family has some meaning to suppress the Ji family.

There were also many conflicts within the Ji family. Several of the children of the collateral line were eyeing the position of the head of the family. Ji Changkong's health was getting worse and worse, and his control over the family was gradually declining.

The Ji family's situation is getting more and more dangerous.

The Ling family was an aristocratic family of medicinal herbs, and their wealth and power were already on par with the Ji family.

Under the management of Ling Yunfei and her father, the Ling family secretly colluded with the royal family, and also attracted many forces and powerful people, making the Ling family more and more powerful.

These Ji Tianxing saw them in his eyes and kept them in his heart.

He could also guess that Ling Yunfei had the courage to take off her disguise to attack him, and she must have no fear, and she even had stronger forces behind her.

Under such circumstances, if the father fought against the Ling family in a fit of rage, it would definitely be the Ji family that would collapse in the end!

So Ji Tianxing forcibly endured his anger and hatred, and hid the matter of seizing the Divine Pearl in his heart, and was unwilling to tell his father.

He wanted to avenge the Ling family's revenge with his own hands, instead of dragging the Ji family into the water.

The pain and humiliation that Ling Yunfei inflicted on him, he will return it with his own hands!

Seeing his father ask him face to face at this moment, after hesitating for a while, he said calmly, "Father, I have my own plans for this matter, please don't ask me any more."

"The most important thing at the moment, you have to calm down and take good care of your body. If you fall, the Ji family will be a mess, and you can only be slaughtered."

"Tianxing, you... sigh!" Ji Changkong was anxious and angry, but Ji Tianxing didn't hide it, he could only swallow the words that came to his mouth, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Tianxing, you are a young genius. You used to have great glory. Now you have been hit and calamified by this. You didn't give up on yourself. You can still keep calm and rational. It's very gratifying for your father."

"As a father, I also believe that there is no way out of the sky, and you will definitely be able to rise again!"
