2329 The Arrogance of a Family Legacy
The corners of Jian Fengchi’s eyes twitched as he held his forehead helplessly.
As expected, this person’s temper is still as big as before. In the entire Fantasy Divine Palace, there are probably not many people who dare to scold a deity like this.
He waved his hand and gestured for Xiao Ba to sit down and restrain herself. “Xiao Ba, lower your voice. Are you afraid that others won’t hear you?”
Although this was their own courtyard, it couldn’t stop the walls from having ears! If anyone heard it and reported it to the Eighth Deity…
Xiao Ba frowned. “Did I say something wrong? The medicinal mountain is so big, and there are so many medicinal herbs, but they’re all harvested? There’s more than one! She’s such a joke as a deity!”
To think that Shu Jing has been acting as the person in charge of the medicinal mountain previously. In the end, it ended up like this?
When Jian Fengchi saw her reaction, he was touched. “Xiao Ba, I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about my alchemy…”
Xiao Ba glanced at him. “Brother, don’t misunderstand. I just feel sorry for those herbs.”
Jian Fengchi: “…Pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Xiao Ba crossed her arms and paced back and forth in the courtyard in frustration. I really can’t figure out what Shu Jing is doing! Most importantly, in the past few years, she has also imposed various restrictions on entering and leaving the medicinal mountain. How could things turn out like this?
Xiao Ba hesitated for a while and finally couldn’t help but walk out.
Jian Fengchi hurriedly asked, “Hey, what are you doing?”
Xiao Ba said angrily. “I’m going to the medicinal mountain! I want to see if she deliberately hid it or if she really let everyone use it up!”
“Strange, when did Xiao Ba become so angry…” Jian Fengchi was stunned. I’m not even angry myself. Why is she so angry?
Seeing that Xiao Ba was really going out, he hurriedly stood up to stop her. “Xiao Ba, I think we should forget about it. She’s the Eighth Deity after all…”
If she really went in such a hurry, she would definitely cause trouble.
Xiao Ba raised her eyebrows. “What, are you afraid to go?”
Jian Fengchi was speechless. Is this a question of whether I dare or not?
At this moment, Si Jing walked out of the house and headed outside.
Seeing the two of them standing at the door, he greeted them. “Oh, Xiao Ba, you’re going to the medicinal mountain again?”
Xiao Ba nodded. “That’s right. How did Fourth Brother know?”
Si Jing suddenly paused and staggered. Then, he hurriedly held the door and coughed. “Ahem, I heard you guys talking about this just now.”
“Does Fourth Brother also support me going?” Xiao Ba pouted and asked pitifully. “Fourth Brother, you don’t even know how much Shu Jing has ruined the medicinal mountain!”
Si Jing widened his eyes and immediately patted his chest. “Yes! Where can’t our Xiao Ba go in Fantasy Divine Palace? Don’t worry. With Fourth Brother around, I won’t let anyone bully you! When Fourth Brother is done, I’ll look for you!”
“Fourth Brother, are you still going to the lightning pool?”
“That’s right!” Si Jing nodded. “I don’t think they plan to unseal it yet. I really don’t know how long they’ll drag it out…”
His words were filled with dissatisfaction.
During this period of time, he went almost every day.
Xiao Ba was already used to it and nodded in agreement. “It’s a little too much. Fourth Brother, go ahead then. I can settle my own matters. Don’t worry!”
Jian Fengchi, who was standing at the side, was instantly confused. What are these two… talking about?! Why does it sound like those few deities really can’t do it? They are very dissatisfied, right?
Chu Liuyue is used to being arrogant. Why are all the Thirteen Yue Guards following her example now? They don’t even have a bloodline totem now, but each one of them is more arrogant than the other?
Lightning pool, medicinal mountain… Why does it sound like it is their territory?
Si Jing responded and gave her a thumbs-up as he praised, “Xiao Ba is so beautiful today!”
Xiao Ba smiled and asked, “Wasn’t I beautiful yesterday?”
Si Jing immediately said sincerely, “Xiao Ba is beautiful every day! She’s the second most beautiful in the world!”
The first beauty was Master. This was the consensus of the Thirteen Yue Guards.
Xiao Ba was indeed satisfied when she heard this. She waved her hand. “Goodbye, Fourth Brother!”
Only then did Si Jing leave.
After taking a few steps, Si Jing gently slapped his mouth. Who asked you to speak so fast!? Who asked you to speak so fast!?
Actually, in the house just now, he had been thinking about the lightning pool. He didn’t hear a word Xiao Ba and Jian Fengchi said outside.
In the end, when he went out, he happened to bump into them! Fortunately, the matter was resolved…
Si Jing took a deep breath before speeding up and walking forward.
…
With Si Jing’s support, Xiao Ba immediately became more confident and headed straight for the medicinal mountain.
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade her anymore, Jian Fengchi could only follow.
Xiao Ba looked back at him and teased him. “What, aren’t you worried that you’ll cause a bunch of trouble if you go with me?”
Jian Fengchi said seriously, “No matter what, this matter started because of me. I can’t sit back and do nothing.”
Xiao Ba was interested and asked, “Then, if I fight with Shu Jing—”
Jian Fengchi said without hesitation, “I’ll cheer you on!”
Xiao Ba was speechless. I knew I couldn’t rely on him.
…
The two of them were fast.
The medicinal mountain was as lively as usual. People came and went.
When they saw Xiao Ba coming over, many scorching gazes landed on her. At the same time, some hidden hostility swept across Jian Fengchi.
Jian Fengchi was silent for a moment. “Xiao Ba, I’m starting to regret it. Can I go back now?”
Xiao Ba walked forward without looking back. “What’s there to be afraid of? Let them see. It’s not like we’ll lose anything.”
Jian Fengchi said, “…You won’t, but I might.”
It wasn’t that he hadn’t been stared at by so many people at the same time, but they were usually women. This was the first time he was being stared at by so many men.
Eldest Young Master Jian was really flustered.
Xiao Ba laughed. “I think there are many girls looking at you too!”
Jian Fengchi’s magnificence and appearance were all top-notch, and he was elegant and unrestrained. It was normal for girls to like him.
Swoosh!
Jian Fengchi pushed away his folding fan and covered half of his face. He whispered, “Shh, don’t talk nonsense. It’s not good if others hear you.”
Xiao Ba understood.”You’re afraid that Hongyu will hear, but she’s been in seclusion in her room recently!”
Jian Fengchi’s glabella twitched. “How do you know she won’t suddenly appear here!?”
This was what she was best at!
He was so busy defending himself that he didn’t deny the first half of the sentence.
Xiao Ba pursed her lips and smiled meaningfully. “Forget it, forget it. Let’s see if there are still those two herbs.”
With that, she ran in a certain direction.
Jian Fengchi said, “Wait, it’s not over there.”
He had been there before, and it was clearly in the opposite direction.
Xiao Ba blinked. “It is.”
