Chapter 289

"Ji Li Le Ping?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, Ji Boduan was slightly stunned. Taking the mother's surname?

It has always been based on the father's surname, and there are few who take the mother's surname. And he also knew that Li Hao's mother, Ji Qingqing, married an outsider outside the Great Desolate Heaven, so the outsider could not have the surname Ji.

He looked at Li Hao, and the gentleness in his eyes converged slightly.

But thinking of the rumors above, that the war god of the Ji Clan praised this child highly, and he could not see through Li Hao's aura, his attitude remained polite:

"Please follow me."

Li Hao nodded and followed the other party.

The two went up the mountain rapidly.

Many young Ji Clan members who came to see the curiosity heard Li Hao's words, but they all frowned, some sneered, and some laughed coldly.

"Ji Li Le Ping? What a thick face!"

"Clearly a barbarian from an outsider clan, yet he actually changed his surname directly to come and curry favor with my Ji Clan!"

"Even abandoning his own father's surname, he is really a snob. Does he want to drill into my Ji Clan so much?"

"I originally thought that it was really as the war god said, a peerless prodigy, but I didn't expect him to be a villain who stops at nothing. It's really disappointing."

"Perhaps he just relied on flowery words to deceive the war god. I don't know what kind of dog shit luck he had to actually clear the Mo River. It's really strange."

All kinds of unpleasant discussions sounded.

These young people did not restrain themselves much when facing Li Hao. They were all peers, and coupled with the blood in their bones, they looked down on this mixed-blood from an outsider marriage.

When they heard the war god's high praise, they were even more unconvinced in their hearts, just like someone from a small rural place who was said to be better than them, which made people feel embarrassed.

In the crowd, some were descendants of Ji Yungong's brothers, who came out of curiosity at this moment, but hearing Li Hao's words and the surrounding discussions, they could not help but frown secretly, feeling very disappointed in this prodigy in the mouth of Uncle Yungong.

Low birth is a small matter, but if you look down on your own origin, it is inevitable that people will look down on you!

Looking at the young man flying up the mountain rapidly, many people followed quickly, their eyes disgusted, feeling as if the Ji Clan holy land had been defiled.

If it weren't for Li Hao sending Ji Yungong back, they would have already blasted such a villain to death.

Not long after, Li Hao followed Ji Boduan to the hinterland of the holy mountain.

This is also the place where the vast majority of the Ji Clan's elite direct descendants live.

Clusters of buildings spread out like bamboo shoots after rain, and the buildings were magnificent.

The area of this holy mountain is extremely large, comparable to several cities, and can accommodate tens of millions of people.

The vast majority of Ji Clan disciples with mediocre aptitude live in the city at the foot of the mountain behind the holy mountain, specializing in other skills, such as artifact refining, medicine making, talisman making, etc.

There are also those who farm and labor, tame demons, etc., each performing their own duties.

At this moment, in this front, which is also the southern hinterland of the holy mountain, many Ji Clan members learned the news and rushed here, sizing up Li Hao curiously.

Without a summons, ordinary Ji Clan members cannot go up to the top of the holy mountain at will.

But Ji Yungong's words spread throughout the holy mountain, and many messages had already reached the mountainside. They also knew that it was a young man with Ji Clan blood who sent the war god back.

"Is this the son of that person?"

"I can't see through his cultivation, he seems really powerful."

"What's the use of being powerful? I just heard that he changed his surname to Ji, and now he has come from thousands of miles away. Isn't his intention obvious enough?"

"Could it be that clearing the Mo River was also helped by his family? It's a pity that we didn't find the Mo River where War God Yungong was detained, otherwise we would have gone to clear it long ago!"

Everyone gathered, and all kinds of discussions sounded.

Li Hao heard these noisy discussions, his brows frowned. If it were ordinary juniors, he would be too lazy to care.

But at this moment, there were many middle-aged people among these people who were also mocking, and his eyes became cold:

"Is this the hospitality of the Ji Clan?"

Ji Boduan just stopped and smiled bitterly when he heard this. He could understand the people who were discussing in his heart. After all, Li Hao changing his surname to his mother's was really shameful.

Although he was a person under that elder, he was also on Li Hao's side, but it was difficult for him to be partial in his heart.

However, although he understood the thoughts of these discussers in his heart, he was ordered to pick up this young man, so he immediately shouted:

"All disperse, what is there to discuss, move aside!"

After scolding, he turned to Li Hao and said: "Please follow me."

Saying that, he waved his hand to disperse the crowd that had gathered and brought Li Hao to a magnificent hall, and said to Li Hao:

"You rest here for a while first. War God Yungong is explaining your situation to the family head. When you will be allowed to join the Ji Clan, I will be asked to notify you later."

Saying that, he turned and went out, taking the opportunity to close the door of the hall.

Li Hao frowned and did not speak.

He heard the discussions along the way and knew that it could not be explained clearly, so there was no need to explain.

When he saw that mother, if he could help her get out of trouble, he would leave this place.

After all, the Emperor Da Yu Divine Dynasty will face demon invasion at any time. Although he is not a Li Clan member, as he said, he is a human, so he is naturally willing to contribute to the Emperor Da Yu Divine Dynasty.

Moreover, the kindness given by that His Majesty, he has not yet paid off.

On the top of the holy mountain.

Ji Yungong had already come out of the ancestral hall, offered incense to the ancestors, and also saw the heroic souls of the brothers who died in battle.

Those heroic souls learned that he could not return to the ancestral hall and was about to dissipate, and they were all sad.

Ji Yungong told Old Thirteen that he had a grandson, who was very promising and would become a prodigy of the Ji Clan in the future.

When he told Old Thirteen in detail about Li Hao's performance in the Mo River, the other party was shocked and speechless, then his face was complex, both sad for Ji Yungong and aroused curiosity, wanting to see if his grandson was really so outstanding?

"Fifteen years old, can fight the Absolute Learning Realm, Qingqing actually gave birth to such a powerful bloodline!"

"Alas, Qingqing was confused back then. Fortunately, Tianchao and the brothers came forward to plead for her, so she was spared life imprisonment, but one thousand years... is also very hard to endure!"

This Old Thirteen had a complex mood.

Back then, when he learned that his daughter had married an outsider in private, he was almost so angry that his heroic soul dissipated.

But after all, it was his daughter. Besides helplessness and anger, he had no other choice, after all, the matter had already been cast.

As a father, even if his children make a big mistake, he can only protect them with his life. He only blames himself for not teaching his daughter well, and the guilt is on himself.

Now, his daughter gave birth to a prodigy grandson for him, which made his depressed heart feel some gratification.

Ji Yungong walked out of the ancestral hall, said goodbye to the family head, and followed his brothers and wife and children back to the place where they lived.

Looking at the scenery of the past, Ji Yungong felt nostalgic in his heart.

Others also endured the grief and planned to accompany Ji Yungong to finish his last journey with a smile.

During the journey, Ji Yungong thought of Li Hao's matter and asked:

"Has that child been settled properly?"

"Third Brother, you are like this, why are you still thinking about that child's matter, you are..."

Ji Tianchao felt grief in his heart, smiling all the way, but at this moment he could not hold it.

Beside him, the Sixth Brother Ji Yunqing pulled him, then said to Ji Yungong: "Someone has been sent to settle him, I will ask Qingmeng."

He immediately called someone over.

Not long after, a woman flew over rapidly, bowed hurriedly, and said goodbye to the elders one by one.

"How is that child settled, did you see him?" Ji Yunqing asked.

The one who came was her daughter, Ji Qingmeng, who was also Ji Qingqing's cousin. She looked dignified, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, and an elegant temperament. She responded:

"Daughter asked someone to pick him up and brought him to the Guest Hall. The family head is discussing this matter, but I heard that Senior Qingyuan is unwilling to agree..."

"Qingyuan?"

Ji Yungong was surprised and said: "Which family's child is this?"

The Qing generation should be the children of their brothers and sisters, except for a few special cases.

For example, the Ninth Brother Ji Tianchao, because he was highly favored by his father, was exceptionally granted the name of a deceased ancestor, with high expectations.

And the Ninth Brother did not live up to his father's expectations.

"Not from our lineage, but from the branch lineage."

Ji Yunqing explained immediately: "His great-grandfather was also from the direct lineage, but his aptitude was mediocre, and he married a daughter from a branch lineage. Inherited like this, he gradually became a branch lineage, but in his generation, I don't know how, he suddenly obtained great luck, born with holy bones!"

"Not long after Third Brother you left, he showed amazing talent, broke through one after another in the Four Standing Realms, stepped into the Hearing Dao Realm in one fell swoop, and now, together with Tianchao, has become one of the three war gods of my Ji Clan."

Ji Yungong was slightly startled. He originally thought that since he fell, the Ji Clan would have to keep a low profile for the time being, but he didn't expect that there would be another new war god.

Surpassing the Heavenly Human Realm, a Hearing Daoist!

"This person is of the same generation as us, just because of the branch lineage, his seniority is slightly lower, belonging to Qingqing's generation. In the past, he had to call us uncle." The Fourth Brother beside him said.

Ji Yungong understood immediately.

Branch lineage, actually born with holy bones, it was truly winning the big prize.

Their ancestor was in the Sage Realm, and the Sage can inherit holy bones, just like the Three Imperishable Realms, which can inherit divine blood.

But unlike the Sage Realm, the inheritance probability of divine blood is extremely high, unless the father's generation is promiscuous, breeds too many offspring, and is overly indulgent, which will lead to a decrease in the probability of inheriting divine blood.

And holy bones, even if it is a direct lineage with extremely pure blood concentration, may not necessarily be inherited.

It depends entirely on opportunity.

It can only be said that pure blood can slightly increase the probability of winning the prize.

And once the holy bones are awakened, one will have the posture of asking the Sage!

This is also the reason why the Ji Clan forbids marriage with outsiders and tries to keep the direct bloodline pure.

"This person is low-key and forbearing. Before practicing to the Four Standing Realms, no one knew that he possessed holy bones. After that, he broke out all the way and broke through one after another. It is estimated that he had accumulated extremely deep foundations long ago, so he could easily break through in one fell swoop and step into Hearing Dao!"

Ji Yunqing said.

Ji Yungong nodded slightly. Among their sixteen brothers, only a part of them were close and harmonious.

And the Ji Clan is an ancient family passed down for ten thousand years after all, and the branches are intricate and complex, so it is inevitable that many contradictions will appear within the clan.

This person is from a branch lineage, so it is normal to be so careful.

"Then what did the family head say?"

Ji Yungong asked.

Ji Daoxin promised him, and he believed that the family head would not break his promise.

"The family head said he is willing to give that child a chance. Now, that Ji Qingyuan is taking others to argue about this matter, saying that the rules must not be broken, and at most, they will compensate separately, and not killing that child is already cheap for him..."

Ji Qingmeng said, seeming to feel that what she said was a bit too detailed. This uncle did not have so much time to listen to her understand the details, so she said immediately:

"But the family head's words have already been released, so there is no possibility of change, so Uncle can rest assured."

Ji Yunqing said coldly: "That Ji Qingyuan also knows this point, just wanting to use this to make trouble and fight for benefits for them."

Ji Yungong nodded slightly, then smiled:

"It's all a small matter. As long as that child shows his talent, I believe the family head will know that accepting that child into the Ji Clan is not me using my past achievements to exchange for this thin face, but me making a great contribution to my Ji Clan before I die!"

Several people were startled. They didn't expect this Third Brother to be able to say this. How outstanding must that child be to give him such great confidence?

Ji Qingmeng was also startled, looking at the glowing spirit in this uncle's eyes, she suddenly felt a bit unbearable, and she whispered:

"Uncle, niece has something to say, I don't know if I should say it."

"Qingmeng, if you have something to say, just say it, don't delay your uncle's time." Ji Yunqing scolded immediately.

Ji Yungong smiled: "Stuttering, is it another difficult matter?"

"That child..."

Ji Qingmeng thought of the news coming from below and looked at this uncle carefully: "He said his name is Ji Li Le Ping, changed to his mother's surname..."

Several people were stunned, Ji Li Le Ping?

"This child..."

Ji Yunqing frowned slightly: "Could his father be some small character, so that the marriage with Qingqing was a matrilocal marriage?"

"I inquired about it earlier. He is a general of the Emperor Da Yu Divine Dynasty. I heard he is a marshal. Compared to us, he is worse, but he still has great prestige in that Emperor Da Yu Divine Dynasty." The Fourth Brother said, his eyes flickering, wanting to say something but stopping.

"Then he took his mother's surname, was it Third Brother's idea?"

Ji Yunqing asked.

Ji Yungong shook his head slightly.

"This child..."

Several people looked at each other, all frowning.

Ji Yungong saw their expressions and immediately knew their thoughts, shaking his head: "Don't misunderstand. With this child's talent, without my Ji Clan, he would surely be a dragon and phoenix among people. In this Great Desolate Heaven, he will never be inferior to other prodigies!"

"Hmm?"

Several people looked at him, unable to figure out why this Third Brother favored that child so much, just because the other party sent him back?

"That child took his mother's surname, I guess it's just because he has a closer relationship with his mother, or perhaps, he is using this to miss his mother."

Ji Yungong said.

"Isn't it because he wants to join our Ji Clan?"

Ji Qingmeng could not help but ask, feeling that this uncle seemed to be a bit confused by that young man.

"Qingmeng, how are you talking!" Ji Yunqing could not help but scold.

Although they also thought so, Third Brother was already at the last leg of his journey, so should they question Third Brother's inability to recognize people?

They just wanted to let Ji Yungong finish his journey happily.

Ji Yungong smiled. Seeing others silent, he understood the thoughts of these old brothers too well, and said:

"You all thought too far. That child has a free and easy temperament and does not have that much attachment to home. Whether it is the Ji Clan or other families, it is the same. Otherwise, he would not be able to clear my Mo River and bring me back."

"How do you say that?"

Several people were confused. They chatted about many past events, but hadn't asked about the specific matter of that Mo River yet.

Ji Yungong immediately explained the reason for the Mo River clearance to several people in detail.

Hearing his explanation, several people were stunned, and only then did they understand.

"In that case, we really misunderstood that child."

Ji Yunqing said.

"Then why did he change his surname? If so, how sad must his father be?" The Fourth Brother asked confusedly.

Several people looked at Ji Yungong, and Ji Yungong also shook his head slightly: "I don't know about this. It's probably because this child doesn't have a deep relationship with his father. Otherwise, why would he have no attachment to home?"

Hearing this, everyone thought it was indeed possible.

"If so, then we should treat him well."

"That's right, since he has taken my Ji Clan's surname, he is my Ji Clan member."

Several people said.

Ji Yungong smiled and said: "Handing this child to you, I can rest assured. This child is a person of emotion and has unparalleled intelligence. You can treat him with emotion, and you will be rewarded in the future."

Hearing his hint, several people understood his meaning: do not try to use other means to control that child, just treat him sincerely.

"Third Brother, don't say these things, your body is even weaker..."

Ji Tianchao, who had been silent, said bitterly.

He didn't care about any young man or prodigy; he only cared about the Third Brother who had fought side by side with him to kill demons countless times in the past.

"Tianchao, from now on, let that child accompany you instead of me. Hearing Dao Realm... give that child ten years, it should be about enough."

Ji Yungong said softly, his body fluttering, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
