I have many grandchildren, but I treat Hongli like the apple of my eye. For the Purple Wind Star Domain, I still need to thank Young Master Xu for your intervention,” Ji Bang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are fellow apprentices, brothers and sisters; it’s what should be done,” Xu Jin responded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What should be done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In my life, I’ve seen countless who cling to life out of fear of death, even more who act with prudent self-preservation, but I’ve never seen it as something that should be done!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it’s prudent self-preservation, you can’t point fingers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To help someone, not helping is the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If helped, that’s favor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you, before this, were just a stranger to Hongli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet you risked your life to save her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now tell me, how should this favor be counted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I, as an old man, didn’t come here personally, I wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl wouldn’t even allow me to come!” Ji Bang looked at Ji Hongli with a smile while she stiffened her neck and glared back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Xu, don’t laugh at us! Hongli has been spoiled by us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandmother of Ji Hongli spoke up, “Look at her like this, how is she ever going to get married, huh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Grandma!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin broke out in a sweat; even with the experience of his previous life, he felt somewhat intimidated by this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if Ji Hongli had mentioned their hugging and embracing. If she had, this equaled meeting the parents. If not, then it was still okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Ji Hongli’s mother and grandmother began talking and asking questions, praising and inquiring from Jiang’er about everything, depleting all knowledge of Xu Jin’s family within moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Jin hadn’t glared, Jiang’er might have even brought up Xu Jin’s childhood bedwetting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a straightforward man and won’t speak in platitudes. The Ji Family acknowledges this favor. I’ve already sent a friend request to Young Master Xu. If there’s trouble in the future, you can find Hongli, or you can come directly to this old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will help if I can,” Ji Bang said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if I can’t help, I still will,” Ji Hongli added earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Bang was taken aback, and pointing at Ji Hongli, he chided with a laugh, “Girls should be reserved, reserved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You aren’t even married yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Ji Hongli blushing fiercely; Xu Jin also felt somewhat at a loss, not knowing what to say when Ji Bang solemnly continued, “Hongli is right; we ought to find ways to help even when it seems we can’t, just like your actions when saving Hongli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the mark of a true hero to offer help amidst a hopeless situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, he praised Xu Jin until his face turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hero?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t that too much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just repaying the favor he owed the State Preceptor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aside from this verbal expression of gratitude, I’ve presumptively taken the liberty of bringing a small trinket for Young Master Xu, hoping you’ll like it,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Bang said as he retrieved an object shimmering with starlight from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he took it out, it was still a bundle of starlight, but when he placed it in front of Xu Jin, it transformed into a pair of boots sparkling with starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hongli mentioned that you excel at speed, and in your daily combat strategy, speed is also key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve thought long and hard and found a Fourth Tier Star Artifact, the Star Stepping Boots, most suitable for Young Master Xu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you like them,” Ji Bang pushed the Fourth Tier Star Artifact towards Xu Jin and then watched with a beaming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.822Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d64ce2a1ea14269b7823ec2d49aeac3d1de55162c74f15c7c4657c035aae135","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-411","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-409",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
