Chapter 113

Big Xia Shidi, you..."

Seeing that as soon as she left, Xia Daoming really was in a hurry to hold Liu Qiaolian in broad daylight to do good things, Ji Wenyue's face turned red, and she almost couldn't help but stomp her feet and leave again.

"Lian'er, you've become thinner recently; are you a bit weak? You need to eat more to nourish yourself!" Seeing Ji Yuanzhen and his granddaughter suddenly burst in, Xia Daoming was stunned for a moment, then put Liu Qiaolian down as if nothing had happened, patted her shoulder gently, and urged her with concern.

Then this guy acted as if he had just discovered the two of them, and said with a look of surprise: "Eh, Wenyue, didn't you just leave? Old Master, why are you here too? Is there something the matter?"

Looking at Xia Daoming pretending to be confused, Ji Wenyue gritted her teeth, while Ji Yuanzhen secretly gave a thumbs up. He wanted to praise him a few times, but his granddaughter was by his side, and powerful enemies were on their way, so business was more important.

"Just received news that Ma Tong is bringing a thousand-man elite force and is rushing toward us. It is estimated that they will arrive in an hour or two," Ji Yuanzhen said.

Despite his age, when reporting this news, Ji Yuanzhen not only didn't look grave, but was instead full of excitement.

"They'll arrive in an hour or two, and you're only telling me now?" Xia Daoming looked at the old man, speechless.

"Cough, cough!" Ji Yuanzhen finally showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said: "It is my dereliction of duty. I have been ordering people to keep an eye on the movements of the Guangwei army, but I have neglected the defense and precautions around Li Cheng. I didn't expect that Ma Tong would secretly bring a thousand-man elite force, break away from the main army, and detour from elsewhere. It wasn't until now that they suddenly appeared!"

"A thousand-man elite force secretly rushing to our Li Cheng from afar; it seems Ma Tong must have received news that Li Cheng's strength is hollow and thinks Li Cheng is vulnerable, wanting to launch a surprise attack so we don't get news in advance and run away, leaving an empty city for them," Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"Daoming, you are truly amazing. When I first received this news, I couldn't recover for a moment. Later, I pondered it, but I didn't expect that as soon as you heard this news, you would see it as clearly as fire, seeing through Ma Tong's thoughts and plans."

Ji Yuanzhen was greatly impressed, and immediately after, he became excited again.

"But this is just right. We are not short of elites now, just too few people! Once Ma Tong brings twenty thousand troops over, even if you kill Ma Tong and leave the army leaderless, our small number of elites won't be able to kill twenty thousand troops.

Hehe, that guy Ma Tong definitely wouldn't expect that our Li Cheng now not only has two Grandmasters, cough, three Grandmasters holding the fort, but also two eighth-rank Great Martial Masters, ten seventh-rank Great Martial Masters, and seventy or eighty fifth and sixth-rank Great Martial Masters combined.

Combined, that's nearly a hundred elites, hehe, plus the thousand city-defending soldiers recruited and trained these days. We are waiting for the enemy at our leisure. If you help us kill Ma Tong again, his thousand elites will definitely not be enough for us to charge and kill!"

The effect of snake eggs and snake meat on Ji Yuanzhen and the others was better than expected.

Ji Yuanzhen ate a snake egg and some snake meat, and added a four-hundred-year-old Fengming Pill that Xia Daoming had specifically given him last time. A week ago, it actually allowed him to break through in one fell swoop and step into the Grandmaster realm.

Ji Yuanzhen felt sorry for his son, so he gave the remaining snake egg to his son Ji Shouli and shamelessly asked Xia Daoming for more snake meat.

Although Ji Shouli's martial arts talent was not as good as his father's, he was still capable and talented enough to be chosen by Ji Yuanzhen from among many children to be the head of the family.

He was already at the seventh-rank realm before, and after eating snake eggs and snake meat, and receiving personal guidance from his father who had been promoted to Grandmaster, he luckily stepped into the eighth-rank realm yesterday.

As for Ji Wenyue, it goes without saying that with Big Xia Shidi Xia as her backer, the benefits were naturally numerous. Just the spiritual rice porridge alone was never lacking for her every day. If she weren't still young and her previous foundation relatively weak, she might already be at the eighth-rank realm now, but even so, she was now firmly at the seventh-rank realm.

However, compared to the Ji family, the most rapid rise was in the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall.

Liang Jingtang ate snake meat for ten days, and on a quiet night, he ate the

Transforming Dragon Fruit, and then easily stepped into the Grandmaster realm.

The next day, Liang Jingtang, who had become a Grandmaster, used his force to shape and kill from a distance to severely discipline Yuchi Xiao and other disciples, and even Gu Ren, whom he had previously regarded as his own, was no exception.

Because this guy Gu Ren had only been in Li Cheng for a few days, he had actually picked up the bad habits of Yuchi Xiao and the others, calling him Xia Shidi Daoming and showing no respect for his elders!

Among the disciples, only Liu Xiao Qiang was not disciplined; on the contrary, Liang Jingtang gave her good guidance.

No way, there were rumors that Xia Daoming had entered and left her boudoir twice!

Liang Jingtang could not afford to offend this female disciple!

And Yuchi Xiao ate snake meat suitable for him, and with Xia Daoming's personal guidance, he broke through again in a short period of time and became an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi.

The next day, Yuchi Xiao woke up early and wanted to show off in front of his master and fellow disciples.

It's a pity that it was very tragic that Liang Jingtang happened to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster that day.

So Yuchi Xiao was disciplined by Liang Jingtang as soon as he started to show off, and several junior brothers who flattered him were also disciplined by Liang Jingtang.

Zhuo Xingji was still a bit behind and failed to break through further.

Jiao Yongbao ate a snake egg and successfully broke through, becoming a seventh-rank Great Wu Shi.

Gu Ren's injuries were all gone, and he successfully became a sixth-rank Great Wu Shi.

Liu Xiao Qiang was low, and her martial arts talent was average, so she was also a sixth-rank Great Wu Shi.

Liu Qiaolian was about the same as Liu Xiao Qiang; even if she was supplemented a lot and had Xia Daoming's personal guidance day and night, she still stopped at a sixth-rank Great Wu Shi.

For this reason, Liu Qiaolian was often depressed, feeling that she had failed the Master's cultivation, so she practiced card skills with the Master more diligently.

Sometimes when the Master wanted to play some new methods, she tried her best to cooperate.

Xia Daoming was very satisfied with the fact that Lian'er played cards very carefully every time, but Xia Daoming didn't take her lack of high martial arts talent to heart at all.

In his view, Liu Qiaolian was a formation genius, and no matter what, he would find a way to help her step into the path of cultivation in the future.

The cultivation world was where she could truly show her skills; martial arts could go as far as it could, and there was no need to force it.

The Xingyou Escort Agency was also considered part of the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall faction, and during this period, several fifth and sixth-rank Great Martial Masters also emerged, which excited Old Master Zhuo so much that he burned a lot of incense in front of the ancestral tablets.

"Hmm, the Old Master's analysis is reasonable. However, one must keep some strength in reserve to have room for maneuver. Ma Tong may secretly have cultivators helping him, so we have to be on guard.

Since Ma Tong is only bringing a thousand-man elite force, I will temporarily hide in the dark and watch the changes to prepare for the unexpected. It just so happens that the Ji family and the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall, cough, Tenglong Martial Arts Hall also need this battle to establish prestige and unite people's hearts.

The people of Li Cheng have experienced the last disaster and also need this battle to regain confidence and hope! Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for them to walk out of the shadow of fear," Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"That's good too! Master Liang and I have just become Grandmasters and need a fair battle with a Grandmaster. It's a rare opportunity!" Ji Yuanzhen's eyes ignited with intense fighting spirit upon hearing this.

"Grandfather, isn't it simple for you and Master Liang to have a battle with a Grandmaster? Just find Big Xia Shidi Xia directly!" Ji Wenyue blurted out.

Sure enough, girls are outward-looking!

Ji Yuanzhen looked at Ji Wenyue silently with great pain!

"Ah, sorry Grandfather. I forgot, Big Xia Shidi Xia's Grandmaster level is definitely different from yours, and fighting you and Master Liang must be very easy," Ji Wenyue suddenly realized and blurted out again.

"Daoming, the army is approaching, I must go to hold the army immediately. You notify Master Liang and the others," Ji Yuanzhen looked at his granddaughter with heartache again, then bowed to Xia Daoming and turned away resolutely.

"Geniuses are indeed slow in some aspects!" Xia Daoming stared at Ji Wenyue, feeling emotional, but his gaze subconsciously slid down again.

"Big Xia Shidi Xia, what time is it

now, and you're still thinking about lying flat?" Ji Wenyue stomped her feet when she saw this.

Xia Daoming felt something was strange when he heard this.

It seems that Ji Wenyue's words make sense; the army is approaching, the situation is urgent, and we definitely can't lie flat anymore!

But the question is, is the lying flat she mentioned the same as the lying flat in his understanding?

"Yes, yes, we can't lie flat now. Next time, Big Xia Shidi will talk to you properly about lying flat; this is a very profound subject," Xia Daoming said with a serious face soon after.

After speaking, he turned and walked toward the room connected to the secret room.

"Pfft!" Looking at Xia Daoming's departing back, Ji Wenyue, who was originally shy and angry, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This Big Xia Shidi Xia, he just has no seriousness!"

"Miss Wenyue, since you know the Master's personality, it's better to marry over sooner. Besides, I've really been feeling overwhelmed by myself recently!"

"What do you mean by overwhelmed by yourself? Ah... Sister Lian'er, why are you telling me this? It's really..."

"Hee hee, isn't this something that will happen sooner or later? And after being with the Master for a long time, you will definitely like it."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"But Big Xia Shidi Xia doesn't go to the Ji family to propose marriage to my grandfather, so I can't stay," Ji Wenyue gritted her teeth, feeling quite shy and angry.

Which young girl doesn't dream of spring?

She was in her prime, and these days Xia Daoming was always shamelessly touching and kissing Liu Qiaolian in front of her, and he didn't take less advantage of her either. Could she feel good?

"As long as Miss Wenyue has this idea, it's easy to handle. After defeating the enemy army, I will mention it to Old Master Liang and let him come forward to speak," Liu Qiaolian's eyes lit up and she smiled.

"Hmph, this Big Xia Shidi Xia, he's usually like a smart person, but he's so slow in this regard. I suspect he's doing it on purpose!" Ji Wenyue gritted her teeth.

"No, no, men, sometimes they are a bit slow in this regard," Liu Qiaolian said hurriedly.

Xia Daoming was certainly not slow; he habitually thought that Ji Wenyue had not reached the age of marriage. After all, the legal marriage age in the country he was in was twenty.

PS: There is one more update, continuing to ask for monthly tickets.
