Chapter 2265: I Was First Struck Down

Xu Jie said firmly.

All along, although no one said it aloud, everyone knew it in their hearts.

Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, they have always lived under Ye Zhangqing's protection.

Otherwise, not to mention those precious Xiūliàn resources, they wouldn't even know if they could survive; they would have long been crushed like ants by someone.

Even the sect's development to its current state is almost entirely due to Ye Zhangqing propping it up with his own strength.

Nowadays, is Ye Zhangqing still not fighting for the sect over at the Heavenly Family?

As fellow Shī xiōng, Xu Jie and the others naturally don't want to push all the pressure onto Ye Zhangqing.

All along, everyone has been diligently Xiūliàn, and Xu Jie is no exception.

But limited by their own talent, even if they give their all, progress still falls far short of their expectations.

If they truly want to grow quickly, the only path before them is to take an unconventional approach.

And this opportunity is a once-in-a-thousand-years chance, so Xu Jie and the others naturally cannot miss it.

Even if it endangers their lives, they must give it a try.

Since they have come to the Immortal Realm, they naturally can no longer think with the mindset of Xia Jie.

Seeing everyone's determined eyes, Qi Xiong felt both relieved and helpless.

On one hand, seeing everyone's enterprising spirit, he felt moved; on the other hand, he worried about their safety.

After a long silence, Qi Xiong finally spoke slowly.

"Since you have all decided, the sect will naturally support you fully; you may freely choose anything from the treasury."

We can only give everyone more life-saving items, so that when they encounter danger, they have sufficient means to preserve their lives.

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed in thanks and did not refuse.

Xu Jie and the others do not seek to catch up to Ye Zhangqing; they only hope to keep pace with the core disciples of other immortal sects.

When they meet in the future, they will also have the strength to fight, rather than always relying on Ye Zhangqing alone.

The sect's affairs are unknown to Ye Zhangqing, and Xu Jie and the others have not informed him of this.

At the Heavenly Family, after dinner and drinks, everyone sat in the attic drinking tea.

Tianlin suddenly brought up the matter of sealing that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

"Brother Ye, the sealing is set for five days from now; how is your cultivation of that Mìfǎ?"

Five days later, when the time comes to act, upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing did not conceal anything and replied truthfully.

"It's already done; we can act at any time."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian both froze, their gazes strangely fixed on Ye Zhangqing.

Miao Qianqian even more so stared blankly and asked.

"When did you cultivate it?"

She has been with Ye Zhangqing all day today and hasn't seen him cultivate at all.

Even after finishing the Canteen affairs and returning, Ye Zhangqing was leaning on the Tǎng yǐ, feigning sleep while resting.

Facing their doubts, Ye Zhangqing replied.

"Last night."

"You mastered it in just one night?"

"Yeah, I didn't sleep all night."

Ye Zhangqing wore a helpless expression; this was the result of his hard work all night.

But the more this happened, the more Miao Qianqian and Tianlin felt an itchy annoyance.

He mastered it in such a short night, yet with Ye Zhangqing it still seems dissatisfied; you're doing this on purpose, right?

You should know, as Tianlin previously said, ordinary people have no chance of succeeding in that Mìfǎ.

Even they, these few Heavenly Pride Yāoniè, must expend considerable mental effort.

In any case, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian each spent a full day and night to successfully cultivate it.

But Ye Zhangqing did it in just one night.

Although the gap isn't huge, Tianlin and Miao Qianqian are the sort who have never been struck down themselves since childhood; they always strike others down.

Only with Ye Zhangqing do they feel their talent being struck down.

Staring blankly at Ye Zhangqing, Miao Qianqian said somewhat jealously.

"Having high talent is amazing."

"Brother Ye, from now on you'll probably have to lead the way alone."

Both were shocked by Ye Zhangqing's talent—what kind of talent is this, seemingly surpassing theirs.

Heavenly Pride Yāoniè already represents the limit of talent, yet Ye Zhangqing seems poised to break that limit.

After sighing, they both accepted this reality.

Since Ye Zhangqing has successfully mastered the sealing Mìfǎ, the sealing proceeded as planned.

The Heavenly Family side can also begin preparations; when the time comes, the three of them will join forces to continue the seal.

It's not troublesome; just be careful not to encounter any mishaps along the way.

After finishing talking about the sealing, Ye Zhangqing shifted the conversation to inquire about the shopfront matter.

Upon hearing this, Tianlin didn't even think and spoke directly.

"There's no need to worry about the shopfront; my Heavenly Family has many properties in the city. Tomorrow I'll bring a map, Brother Ye, you can pick whatever you like—no rent required."

As the owner of Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng, the Heavenly Family's holdings in that city are naturally abundant beyond measure.

Putting it that way, over ninety percent of the shops in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng belong to the Heavenly Family.

Other big and small families, added together, at most occupy only one tenth.

Moreover, if one wants to do business in the city, shops naturally need to be rented from the Heavenly Family.

So, Ye Zhangqing wanting a shop is as simple as can be.

However, Ye Zhangqing does not want to rent but wants to purchase directly.

After all, only when it's one's own property can it be easily managed later.

If one rents from the Heavenly Family, although the current relationship is close and they are on the same side.

But one always feels constrained.

It's not that the Heavenly Family will do something in the future; mainly Ye Zhangqing likes the feeling of being in control.

Furthermore, in the future the canteen also needs to handle intelligence gathering; only when it's completely one's own can one feel at ease.

He expressed his thoughts to Tianlin; Tianlin pondered slightly, then said.

"Originally, my Heavenly Family would not directly sell; after all, selling too much would be more harmful than beneficial for my Heavenly Family, and the family doesn't lack these immortal crystals."

"However, if it's Ye Zhangqing, I will discuss with my father; there should be no problem."

The Heavenly Family also does not want to sell the shop; their idea is the same as Ye Zhangqing's.

Holding it in hand, then this thing will always belong to oneself; others only have the right to use and operate it.

The true ownership still belongs to the Heavenly Family; therefore, the Heavenly Family's shops in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng are all rented, never sold.

No matter how high the price offered, it's useless.

But Ye Zhangqing is different; this face, the Heavenly Family is willing to give.

Of course, the main reason is that Ye Zhangqing wants only a small shop, just to open a restaurant; for the Heavenly Family it makes no difference, and it's better to just go with the flow and sell this favor.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhangqing thanked.

"Then many thanks, Brother Tian."

"We are brothers; it's a trivial matter, no need for thanks."

Tianlin waved his hand indifferently; a shop matter is trivial.
