Chapter 274: The Ji Family's Move

~8 min read 1,407 words

After Chen Jing and the others left, Esdeath looked at Lingyun with a half-smile: "Lingyun, it seems you are still quite popular! I think those two beauties from just now seem to have different ideas about you!"

"Perhaps!" Lingyun sighed slightly, "But given our current situation, it's better not to let them know for now!"

"That's true, after all, the matter of traveling across worlds is a bit shocking!" Luo Yexi nodded slightly. "By the way, Master, what are your thoughts on those guys who dare to covet your Qingshen Tea?"

"What thoughts could I have? Anyone who dares to reach out for Lingyun's things must, of course, be wiped out!" Esdeath slapped the table, a trace of Evil Energy flashing in her eyes, and a thin layer of frost instantly covered the tabletop.

"Right, there is no need for such people to exist in this world!" Akame also nodded.

"Since you all feel this way, let's show them our strength!" Lingyun said. "After all, only absolute force can make those ill-intentioned guys retreat in the face of difficulty."

"To be honest, I am quite interested in the experts of this world. After all, it is my first time seeing that there are so many different systems of ability in this world." Esdeath tapped her fingers on the table, a hint of fighting spirit appearing on her face.

"Then you might be disappointed, as the people coming are at most at the Heaven Tier Peak level!" Lingyun spread his hands.

"Then I can just suppress my own strength to the same level as them, can't I?" Esdeath said indifferently.

"Fine, fine, fine, as long as you're happy!" Lingyun said helplessly. "Ye Xi, keep an eye on Esdeath when the time comes, don't let her go too far!"

"Don't worry, just leave it to me!" Luo Yexi patted her chest and nodded.

When Chen Jing and the other returned to their residence, the servant below walked up and said there were guests waiting for them.

Chen Jing and Su Wanyue exchanged a look, both knowing what was going on in their hearts, and walked toward the living room.

In the living room sat a man who looked quite refined. At this moment, he was elegantly sipping the clear tea on the table, showing no signs of impatience from waiting.

"Isn't this the Clan Master of the Ji Family branch? What time do you have to come here to see us?" Chen Jing sat down opposite the visitor and spoke.

The visitor was indeed the Clan Master of the Ji Family's branch in Beijing, and also the father of Ji Moyuan—Ji Xiuwen.

"Miss Chen is joking. As for the reason I came here, I believe you two ladies know it well." Ji Xiuwen said with a smile. "Now, many forces are eyeing the things in Miss Chen's hands. Relying only on the forces you currently have and the Su Family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to block these people. Domestic forces are one thing, but foreign forces will not be as gentle as others!"

"Is that so? Then if we cooperate, what price does Clan Master Ji want us to pay?" Su Wanyue asked with a half-smile.

"Seventy percent. We only need seventy percent. After all, most of the enemies will be blocked by our Ji Family people when the time comes. Me asking for seventy percent is not excessive, right? After all, most of these enemies are foreign forces!" Ji Xiuwen revealed a smile.

"Seventy percent?" Chen Jing sneered. "Clan Master Ji really has a huge appetite! Just for showing your face to deter outsiders, you want to take seventy percent of the Qingshen Tea from our hands!"

"That's right, Clan Master Ji, your greed is too ugly! Moreover, this matter was caused by your son. If he hadn't leaked the information, how would foreign forces have learned about the Qingshen Tea? Now even the Dragon Group has been alarmed by this matter. You had better think carefully about what price you need to pay to save your son!" Su Wanyue also sneered and said.

Hearing Su Wanyue's words, Ji Xiuwen's face couldn't help but sink: "Does Miss Su mean that you don't want to cooperate with our Ji Family?"

"Even if we cooperate with the Qin Family, the Qi Family, or even the Dragon Group, we will not cooperate with the Ji Family. Clan Master Ji, you can give up on that thought!" Su Wanyue said decisively.

"Does Miss Su mean that even if it costs your entire Su Family, you are unwilling to cooperate with our Ji Family?" Ji Xiuwen's tone already carried a hint of a threat.

"Cost the entire Su Family? Is Clan Master Ji saying that you want to be enemies with all the noble families in Beijing?" Su Wanyue's face also sank, and she said coldly. "Moreover, Clan Master Ji, you think too highly of your Ji Family, and too little of our Su Family, and too little of me! Do you think you are the Clan Master of the Ji Family main branch? Aunt Su, see the guest out!"

The middle-aged woman who was wiping the table put down her rag, walked in front of Ji Xiuwen, and made a gesture of invitation: "Clan Master Ji, please!"

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiuwen couldn't help but feel angry. He was the dignified Clan Master of a Ji Family branch, but now he had fallen to the point where a junior dared to issue an eviction order to him, and even a servant dared to give him looks? However, when his gaze fell on Aunt Su, he suddenly felt the hair on his body stand up, as if what was in front of him was not a servant cleaning the Villa, but a bloodthirsty beast.

As the Clan Master of the Ji Family, Ji Xiuwen's strength was naturally not low; his cultivation had already reached the Heaven Tier Peak, and he could take the final step at any time to become an Innate Expert. But it was this very step that had bound him for several years. Now the appearance of the Qingshen Tea had become the dawn for him to enter the Innate realm, which was why he was so desperate to get the Qingshen Tea in Chen Jing's hands.

"This unremarkable woman is actually an Innate Expert?" Cold sweat broke out on Ji Xiuwen's back. If he really made a move here, he was one hundred percent certain that this woman would beat him into a dead dog without hesitation and then throw him out of this Villa.

"Hmph, Chen Jing, Su Wanyue, you two are indeed very good." Ji Xiuwen stood up with a dark face. "I believe there will be a day when you two come to beg me!"

After Ji Xiuwen left the Villa, Aunt Su restrained her aura and looked at Chen Jing and the other, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Miss, this Ji Xiuwen is not a broad-minded person. His scheming and viciousness are famous in the circles of Beijing. You must be careful of his revenge!"

"Don't worry, Aunt Su. Regarding this matter, the main branch of the Ji Family will definitely not make a move. A mere Ji Family branch in Beijing cannot do anything to us. If he really dares to make a move against us or the Su Family, I believe he will definitely regret it to the point of wanting to hit a wall!" Su Wanyue said with a smile.

The two recalled the aura Esdeath had revealed at that time, and a glimmer of light flashed in their eyes. The feeling that aura gave them was even more terrifying than the aura of that Venerable Elder of the Su Family. And the strength of that Venerable Elder was Innate Peak!

Ji Xiuwen, who walked out of the Villa, turned his head to look at the Villa, a flash of vicious light in his eyes: "Hmph, two wet-behind-the-ears brats, just relying on a bit of ability in the family to be arrogant in front of me. I want to see what you have to rely on if the Su Family is gone!"

While speaking, Ji Xiuwen took a mobile phone out of his pocket and sent out a text message that had been prepared long ago. The message only had a few words: "Proceed according to plan!"
