Chapter 8: Ji's situation

In the hospitality lobby, Master Xue is chatting and laughing with Ling Yunfei.

At this moment, two Tsing Yi guards suddenly rushed into the lobby, eagerly handing over to report.

"Report to Mr. Xue, something is wrong! Ji Tianxing killed Gu Hao, the third young master of the Gu family in public!"

"Enlighten Old Xue, this incident just happened, just outside the gate of the Medicine Hall, Gu Hao was killed by Ji Tianxing!"

Hearing this news suddenly, the conversation and laughter between Master Xue and Ling Yunfei stopped abruptly, and their faces changed.

Master Xue frowned, and his eyes sharply shouted: "What? How dare Ji Tianxing kill Gu Hao in public outside the gate of the panacea hall?"

"This bastard, is it because he begged to see the old man who was rejected, and was ashamed to kill in the street?"

Master Xue's face was a little gloomy, his expression fluctuating, and he was weighing the subsequent impact and troubles this incident might bring.

Ling Yunfei also frowned, and whispered 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 has been through the fifth level of body refining? Can he be killed in one shot?"

Ling Yunfei's eyes became cold, and she thought to herself: "No, I have to quickly discuss with the little lord, find a way to get rid of Ji Tianxing as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be more variables when it is late!"

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

After she left, Master Xue gave an order to the two Tsing Yi guards: "You two, go to take care of Gu Hao's body now, and send someone to the Gu family to report the letter."

"If you are wronged, you have a debt, and this matter has nothing to do with my panacea, the people of the Gu family will naturally go to the Ji family to discuss it."

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

……

Ji Tianxing’s carriage returned to Ji Mansion.

As soon as he and Huan'er got out of the carriage, a young servant came to send a message, 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 eyebrows and whispered in a low voice: "No, my father must have been 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.

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

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

Ji Changkong sits on the rattan wooden chair behind the book table, his face is yellowish, his spirit is very haggard, and a few strands of white hair emerge from his black hair, which is particularly conspicuous.

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

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

At this time, seeing him entering the study, Ji Changkong calmly put away the handkerchief and hid it in his sleeve.

Ji Changkong barely squeezed out a smile, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Tian Xing, you are here, your body...is it better?"

Seeing his father's appearance, Ji Tianxing was a little sad, and said with a worried face: "Father, my body is no longer a serious problem, you don't need to worry."

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

Ji Changkong waved his hand and said, "Tianxing, don't worry about me, it's just that the old wounds have recurred again. The doctor has seen it, and it's okay."

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 had a battle with Master Jianzong ten years ago, his internal organs had been wounded.

After seeing a genius doctor, they all said that this hidden wound cannot be cured, and that he can only take care of it every day.

Moreover, Ji Changkong can no longer use his true essence, otherwise he will lose his life, and he will most likely not live to fifty.

In recent years, Ji Changkong’s hidden injuries have repeatedly occurred several times, and each time he tortured him in pain, and he was several years old overnight.

At this time, Ji Changkong interrupted Ji Tianxing's thoughts, and said solemnly: "Tianxing, you have been unconscious before, and I have no chance to ask you for my father."

"Later, I sent someone to investigate for my father. Before your accident, you went to Tiange Mountain alone with Ling Yunfei. That night you were unconscious, and she was sent back to the house."

"For my father, I always feel that there is something strange about this matter. What happened to you and Ling Yunfei? Why did the skill dissipate overnight and fell to the triple level of body refining?"

"You tell my father, is this a conspiracy by Ling Yunfei? Did the Ling family kill you like this?"

When    was speaking, Ji Changkong's face was gloomy as ice, and there was hatred and murder in his eyes.

Obviously, he had seen the strangeness a long time ago, and suspected that Ji Tianxing's demise was related to the Ling family.

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

Even if Ling Yunfei was clever and tongue-in-cheek, and concocted a lot of reasons to clarify this matter, he could not escape his suspicion.

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

Ji family forging swords and weapons as their business, controls nearly half of Qingyun domestic forging workshops.

The million sergeants of Qingyun Kingdom mostly use weapons manufactured and forged by the Ji family.

Countless swordsmen and kendo masters in the country, the magic swords used by them all come from the hands of the Ji family.

The wealth and power of the Ji family are enough to make the royal family jealous.

Ji Changkong controls the huge Ji family, and can hold on to a 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 he has not yet investigated the evidence.

Once the father gets the evidence, he will definitely exhaust the Ji family's wealth and power and retaliate against the Ling family at all costs.

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

Since he was born, his mother has passed away. His father felt ashamed, so he loved him very much and devoted all 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 rebel for him and break with the Qingyun Dynasty!

Now his dantian has been destroyed and he has become a useless person. His father will never let the Ling family go, even if he fights to die and break the net!

But this is exactly what Ji Tianxing didn't want to see.

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

There are also many contradictions within the Ji family. Several collateral children of UU Reading are eyeing the position of the head of the family. Ji Changkong's body is deteriorating, and his control over the family is gradually decreasing.

Ji's situation is getting more and more dangerous.

The Ling family is a family of pill family, whose wealth and power are 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 brought in many forces and powerful people, making the Ling family more and more powerful.

These Ji Tianxing are all in my eyes and in my heart.

He could also guess that Ling Yunfei dared to remove the disguise and attack him, she must have no fear, and even there was a stronger force behind her.

Under this situation, if the father fought against the Ling family in a fit of anger, it would be the Ji family that would eventually fall apart!

Therefore, Ji Tianxing forcibly endured his anger and hatred, and hid the matter of taking the God Orb in his heart, and did not want to tell his father.

Ling family's grudge, he wants to avenge him personally, and he doesn't want to drag Ji family into the water.

The pain and humiliation that Ling Yunfei inflicted on him, he will personally pay it back!

At this moment, seeing my father asking in person, he hesitated for a while, still said in a calm tone: "Father, I have my own plans for this matter, so please stop asking."

"The top priority is that you have to be relieved and take good care of your body. If you fall, the Ji family will be a pile of loose sand, which can only be slaughtered."

"Tian Xing, you... alas!" Ji Changkong was anxious and angry in his heart, but Ji Tianxing didn't conceal it, he could only swallow what he said to his mouth, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Tian Xing, you are a young genius, originally beautiful, but now suffering from this blow and disaster, you have not abandoned yourself, and you can remain calm and rational. I am very pleased for my father."

"For my father, I also believe that the road to heaven is infinite, and you will surely rise again!"
