Chapter 2073 How to Tame a Naughty Boy 21

Ji Laizhi clearly saw Ji Yuanshan's greed and anger, and Ji Siyao's unwillingness and jealousy.

He tilted his head, his face was smiling beautifully, and the ignorant boy who raised him with many setbacks said arrogantly: "Jinchen gave me so many treasures, so I don't even look down on the sword in the Sword Forging Pavilion."

Ji Yuanshan: “…”

He was almost so angry that he fell backwards, and his face and dignity were trampled underfoot.

Or was it the son of his deceased wife whom he had never looked at seriously and only wanted to make use of.

Ji Siyao suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ji Laizhi, but his position was obviously intended for Jinchen to see.

He looked sad, as if he was worried and aggrieved about Ji Laizhi.

"Brother, you and I are brothers after all. We need to support each other in the future. You still have a lot of things for me to keep. You will definitely not alienate me because of this matter, right?"

Ji Laizhi's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Ji Siyao with cold eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

The items "held for safekeeping", his mother's relics, the remaining lower half of the Shadowless Mace Technique, and his indenture.

Without these things, he would be trapped in Qingyun City for the rest of his life.

When Ji Siyao saw this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, but then he saw Ji Laizhi turn around and throw himself into Jinchen's arms.

Ji Laizhi felt extremely aggrieved. He hugged Jinchen's arm and complained, with an inaudible tremor in his voice.

"You don't even know that Ji Yuanshan has seized my indenture and my mother's belongings. If he doesn't get them back, I can't leave with you."

When Jinchen heard this, he realized that Ji Yuanshan had not only bullied his wife for so long, but also detained her and prevented him from taking her away.

[Who can tolerate this?] Ling Gungun urged, [How about you, host, give him another beating!]

The yard suddenly became quiet, and a creepy feeling of oppression spread throughout Jinchen's body.

Elder Jiuhe and Dugu Wen simultaneously moved a few steps to the side, not wanting to be blamed at all.

"Ji Yuanshan, hand over the things." Jin Chen's tone was flat and straightforward, but anyone could hear the anger in it.

Ji Yuanshan glared at Ji Siyao fiercely and said hurriedly, "But sir, Laizhi is my son after all. Do you think it's not proper to give you the indenture?"

Jin Chen frowned, "Give it back as it came, stop trying to change the concept."

"Besides, since you are now under my care, how can it be impolite?"

"...Yes." Ji Yuanshan agreed reluctantly.

Ji Siyao suddenly regretted bringing this up today. He desperately wanted to regain the complacency he had in the past when he could easily anger Ji Laizhi and turn this man into a madman, but he forgot that Ji Laizhi already had a backer.

With just one sentence, he took back the things that had been trapping Ji Laizhi in Jianzhuang for years.

No, that's not right.

Ji Siyao secretly glanced at Ji Laizhi's room, and his heart calmed down a little. He would not let Ji Laizhi have an easy time.

If Ji Laizhi leaves here, the poison will be cut off for too long and he will be worse off than dead.

Ji Siyao was thinking when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He turned around and met Jinchen's eyes which were as cold as the abyss, as if he was looking at a corpse. He was startled and quickly lowered his head to avoid it.

No way...the poison was so concealed that even Ji Laizhi's mother, who was so powerful, died from it more than ten years ago. No one would find out.

When leaving Guanyun Courtyard, Dugu Wen, who didn't quite understand the ways of the martial arts world, was full of doubts, so he went to ask Jiuhe.

"Master, why did the Grandmaster let Ji Yuanshan go today? His excuse was so lame that he only got Young Master Ji's freedom and some money?"

Jiu He stroked his long beard and sighed, "You forgot that when Wu Xiang Si handles cases, they always focus on catching the perpetrator red-handed and with complete evidence."

"The Grand Master is not indifferent. Perhaps he wants to destroy Qingyun Sword Manor... legitimately and expel it from the martial arts world. This will be considered as giving Young Master Ji some vent. As for the silver, perhaps it is just pocket money for Young Master Ji."

Dugu Wen: "..."

That's really spoiling him, giving him a hundred taels of gold as pocket money.

-

Three days later, that night Yaowang Valley received the second reply letter.

Ever since Ji Siyao learned that Jinchen's identity was mysterious, he has been feeling uneasy, and even Xue Duanming couldn't figure out the reason.

Only Ji Siyao himself knew how jealous and anxious he was.

He was jealous of Ji Lai's excellent talent, and now he had Jin Chen to teach him. He was afraid that he would never be able to catch up easily in his lifetime.

How could he tolerate this when he had always been superior to Ji Lai since childhood?

But no matter how he hinted, Jinchen remained unmoved and had no intention of accepting him as his disciple.

And Jinchen's attitude was exactly the reason why Ji Siyao was nervous.

Whenever he thought about Jinchen living in Guanyun Courtyard, and that he and Ji Laizhi had a clear master-disciple relationship, but the relationship was ambiguous, and that he was very likely to go in and out of Ji Laizhi's room, he was always worried that the poison would be discovered.

By then all our efforts will have been in vain.

If Ji Laizhi is not crazy, how can he snatch the Shadowless Mace Technique, how can he snatch the tremendous internal strength in his body!

When Ji Siyao thought about this, he became furious again. He kicked the wall hard and suddenly looked out the window alertly.

"Who?!"

After a few moments of silence, Ji Siyao narrowed his eyes, took a few quick steps, picked up the sword, and walked out the door.

boom!

A strong palm wind broke through the door first. Ji Siyao's pupils trembled. He hurriedly raised his sword and used his internal force to resist, but he was still thrown to the ground by the palm wind and rolled twice.

When he got up, the door was closed and Jinchen, dressed in a moon-white gown, was standing in the room, looking even colder than usual.

"……gentlemen?"

Ji Siyao never thought that it was Jinchen who broke in. He thought for a few seconds and bit his lip to steady himself.

"Sir, why did you break into my yard at night? If you wanted to come, could I not let you in?"

Jinchen didn't care about Ji Siyao's shy attitude at all.

He asked coldly, "Was it you or Ji Yuanshan who poisoned Laizhi's room?"

Jinchen really discovered it!!!

Ji Siyao opened his mouth, but almost no sound came out. The uneasiness in his heart almost turned into fear.

"…What, what kind of poison, I don't know."

Ji Siyao's eyes were slightly red, as if he couldn't bear such oppression.

"Sir, you came here late at night just to accuse me of a crime for no reason because of your brother?"

Jinchen lowered his eyes to look at him, but the words he said made Ji Siyao feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

"The poison took effect tonight and he was in great pain. I comforted him for a long time before he could fall asleep."

"I also thought that over the past decade, there must be someone who has felt the pain for him."

"Ugh!" Ji Siyao's throat was strangled in mid-air. The sudden pain of suffocation and the feeling of oppression made him lose all ability to resist.
