Chapter 3568: The Ji Clan

Jun Xiaoyao and his party were invited into the Ji Clan.

They were treated with the highest level of hospitality.

Many members of the Ji Clan vied for a chance to catch a glimpse of Jun Xiaoyao.

After all, the vast majority of the current Ji Clan members were born later.

To them, the Jun Clan of the main line was merely a legendary existence.

They had never seen one with their own eyes.

And now, they had finally seen a member of the Jun Clan.

Within the Ji Clan, a grand banquet was held for three days and three nights.

Jun Xiaoyao's arrival allowed the entire Ji Clan to come back to life from their death throes.

Other factions were also extremely envious and jealous of the Ji Clan.

Now that they had a guardian deity like Jun Xiaoyao,

at least in the Boundless Sea, no other faction would dare to provoke the Ji Clan in the slightest.

And for a faction that strictly adhered to the Jun Clan's orders and guarded the Boundless Sea,

Jun Xiaoyao also held a measure of appreciation.

He provided them with some resource support.

The Ji Clan was even more filled with gratitude.

It could be said that a few casual actions by Jun Xiaoyao were enough to completely change the fate of the entire Ji Clan.

Those Ji Clan members who had previously harbored quite a few complaints

were now also feeling fortunate.

Fortunately, they had persisted, and finally saw the clouds part to reveal the moon.

At the banquet, Ji Shuiyao also had slightly reddened cheeks as she poured tea and water for Jun Xiaoyao.

This caused Ji Tian, at the other end of the banquet, to have an even gloomier expression, feeling increasingly displeased.

"Miss Ji should be the most outstanding genius of the current Ji Clan, right?"

Jun Xiaoyao picked up his tea and smiled slightly.

"Young Master, you flatter me. Shuiyao cannot be considered the most outstanding genius."

Receiving a word of praise from Jun Xiaoyao was already enough to make Ji Shuiyao overjoyed.

On the side, Ji Nanshan's expression paused slightly upon seeing this.

In truth, the most outstanding genius of the Ji Clan should have been Ji Tian.

However, thinking of Ji Tian's attitude, if he were pushed forward and accidentally offended the Young Master of the Jun Clan, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, he and the other Ji Clan members did not say much more.

"Since that is the case, this drop of Chaos Blood can help you cleanse your marrow and refine your bones."

"I hope that in the future, you can become a pillar of the Ji Clan."

As Jun Xiaoyao finished speaking, a drop of blood wreathed in the intent of Chaos fell toward Ji Shuiyao.

Ji Shuiyao was stunned.

Ji Nanshan, Ji Chengye, and the others were also startled.

That was the true blood of a Chaos Divine Body.

It absolutely possesses the ability to cleanse the marrow and cut the bones, changing one's constitution.

For Ji Shuiyao, this could already be considered a tremendous opportunity.

"Thank you, Young Master Jun. Shuiyao truly does not know how to thank you..."

Ji Shuiyao was also overwhelmed by the favor.

And this, undoubtedly, made Ji Tian's complexion, seated at a side table, look even worse.

After the banquet, Jun Xiaoyao and the others were invited to stay in the Ji Clan's most core cultivation palace.

Here, Ji Tian called Ji Shuiyao out.

"What are the Ji Clan's plans for the future?" Ji Tian asked.

"Of course, it is to continue guarding the Boundless Sea. Why does Cousin Ji Tian ask this?" Ji Shuiyao said.

"Does my Ji Clan have to continue consuming its clan strength like this?" Ji Tian said coldly.

"With Young Master Jun's resource support, I heard he will send people to our Ji Clan later."

"Our Ji Clan will no longer be like it was before," Ji Shuiyao said.

"That Jun Xiaoyao merely gave a few small favors, yet it makes you all so grateful."

Ji Tian's expression was very ugly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuiyao frowned slightly.

"Cousin Ji Tian, perhaps in the eyes of the Jun Clan, our Ji Clan indeed does not count for much."

"But I can feel that Young Master Jun truly appreciates and values our Ji Clan."

"This is the reward for our Ji Clan's long-term persistence."

Ji Shuiyao could feel that Jun Xiaoyao's attitude toward their Ji Clan was definitely not one of casual perfunctoriness.

"Hmph, you are overthinking it. A person of that status does not look highly upon you."

"In his eyes, you are merely an existence like an ant, not even qualified to be his maid."

"He merely bestowed a few small favors, and it makes you all so tearfully grateful."

Ji Tian said subconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Ji Shuiyao's expression also faded.

These words were indeed somewhat harsh.

Moreover, the sourness in Ji Tian's words could not be hidden at all.

"Cousin Ji Tian, perhaps in Young Master Jun's eyes, I am indeed very insignificant."

"But I can feel that Young Master Jun truly treats me and the Ji Clan as equals, without the slightest bit of contempt or neglect."

"I hope Cousin Ji Tian does not judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's measure."

After Ji Shuiyao finished speaking, she turned and left.

She did not expect that after Ji Tian returned this time, his personality had instead become more extreme and unreasonable.

Watching Ji Shuiyao's departing figure,

Ji Tian's expression sank completely.

Judge a gentleman's heart with a villain's measure?

Is he a villain?

At this moment, within Ji Tian's body, a deep and ancient voice suddenly rang out.

"Heh... kid, it seems the people of your clan don't seem to welcome you."

Ji Tian's expression was somber.

"They simply don't understand."

The ancient voice rang out again.

"That Jun Clan junior is indeed unusual. When near him, this King cannot even release the slightest fluctuation."

"Is that Jun Xiaoyao truly so terrifying?"

Ji Tian's eyes carried a trace of unwillingness.

He had always considered himself extraordinary, believing he was not inferior to anyone.

After obtaining opportunities unimaginable to ordinary people, this was even more so.

And now, Jun Xiaoyao's appearance was like slapping him twice hard in the face.

Telling him what reality is.

"Kid, the choice this King gave you before, have you not made up your mind yet?"

"Since your soul and mine are already bound together, we prosper together and suffer together."

"As long as you head to the other side of the Boundless Sea, your status and position will definitely not be comparable to a mere member of a small Ji Clan."

Within Ji Tian, the ancient voice said.

In Ji Tian's eyes, a look of struggle also appeared.

The so-called heading to the other side of the Boundless Sea meant that he had to join the Rebel Clan.

Although Ji Tian had always felt unbalanced in his heart regarding the Ji Clan's plight,

feeling that their Ji Clan was not worth dedicating so many years to the Jun Clan,

but if he were to be asked to join the Rebel Clan directly, he actually still had a trace of hesitation in his heart.

But the moment he thought of Jun Xiaoyao's appearance and the Ji Clan's grateful demeanor, it made Ji Tian feel extremely displeased.

The reason he returned to the clan was originally to help the clan.

As it turned out now, he, a direct descendant genius of the Ji Clan, was like a passerby.

On the contrary, Jun Xiaoyao was like the savior of the Ji Clan.

This contrast in status truly wounded Ji Tian's self-esteem.

"Originally, I returned to help the clan."

"But now it seems, the clan does not need my help."

"Since that is the case..."

Ji Tian closed his eyes slightly, then opened them.

A flash of determination crossed his eyes.

He, Ji Tian, how could he settle for being behind others and be a vassal to others for a lifetime?

Afterward, in the depths of his heart, that beautiful figure appeared once again. ===== CHAPTER 3569 =====
