Chapter 210

Ying Ge looked at Xu Jin, who was self-bound but flexible and at ease, and his expression changed from dull to vivid.

But it was only vivid; he did not take action, nor did he nod.

A few breaths later, the eyes that had just become vivid became dull again, as if he had thought of something else.

Xu Jin's brows furrowed, and he asked with a cold face, "Do you still recognize me as your Big Senior Brother?"

"Yes, I do!"

This time, Ying Ge spoke and nodded.

"Then can you learn what I just taught?"

"I should... be able to!"

"Now, immediately, give me a try; it's not like you don't know the Flying Fei Xing Bu!"

Swish!

With a flick of his hand, a long starlight whip instantly condensed, "If you can't learn it, don't blame me, your Big Senior Brother, for whipping you!"

Learning the Star Change star pattern has this one benefit: you can make star power become whatever you want it to become.

"Big Senior Brother, what's the point of learning this?"

"I said, you learn it first!"

Ying Ge was still hesitating when Xu Jin's whip lashed out.

This was a real whip.

Caught off guard, and without using star power to protect himself, Ying Ge screamed in pain.

"If you recognize me as your Big Senior Brother, learn it first!" Xu Jin's whip lashed out again, and Ying Ge screamed again.

Outside the door, Ying Bonian, who knew Xu Jin had come, had just arrived. Hearing the screams, the old butler was the first to get anxious and wanted to rush in, but he was stopped by Ying Bonian.

"Do you recognize it or not?" Xu Jin whipped again!

"I recognize it!" Ying Ge shouted while screaming.

"Then learn it! Whenever you learn it, I won't whip you anymore!"

The next instant, under Xu Jin's whip, Ying Ge stumbled and cleverly used the Flying Fei Xing Bu.

Ying Ge had long been able to cast the Flying Fei Xing Bu instantly; this was the star art he used the most.

As for exploding in different positions, it was actually just an idea and a matter of familiarity.

Because his whole body had been tempered by star power, his star power had long been unobstructed.

Moreover, because of the family's assistance, Ying Ge had previously taken the Ding Shen Jin Dan and had also climbed the Heavenly Stairs many times to temper his Divine Soul. After becoming a true disciple, he had also climbed the Heavenly Stairs many times to temper his Divine Soul.

Last time, when he returned from the Purple Wind Star Domain with Xu Jin, he received the reward of the Lian Shen Jin Dan, as well as the reward for climbing the Heavenly Stairs, and then his Divine Soul cultivation reached the Forge Star Realm in one go, and he reached the late stage of Refine Star First Layer, which was very helpful for utilizing the Flying Fei Xing Bu.

In just over a quarter of an hour, Ying Ge had mastered the trick Xu Jin was playing.

He moved forward, turned, and leaped in the room, coming and going freely.

Clearly, after learning this trick, Ying Ge's eyes were already full of vitality.

It was no longer the decadence and despair from before.

The matter of disability, apart from the physical deficiency, the biggest blow was actually the psychological blow brought about by the inability to take care of oneself in daily life.

"Have you learned the Star Change star pattern?"

"I have."

"Then learn from me."

Xu Jin didn't say any more nonsense; he just made the star whip sound like thunder, but beside his bound right hand, a star rope extended. The star rope probed flexibly and rolled up a cup.

Bang!

The cup exploded!

Xu Jin was startled; he had used too much force.

He tried again, and it fell again.

In just a few breaths, the flower pots, water cups, and everything that could be grasped in Ying Ge's room were all shattered.

"Hurry, send things in, hurry." Ying Bonian ordered outside the door, "Arrange for a maid to send them, only send things, leave as soon as you send them, and don't say anything."

Ying Bonian was outside the door, and Xu Jin naturally knew.

One can only say that parents' hearts are pitiful everywhere.

After shattering more than a dozen more cups, Xu Jin was finally able to use the star rope to roll up a water cup and send it to his mouth to drink water!

The next instant, Xu Jin waved his whip and shouted at Ying Ge, "You try!

I used a quarter of an hour; I'll give you two quarters of an hour. If you can't do it, I'll whip you!"

Seeing this situation, Ying Ge also understood that Xu Jin was truly doing it for his own good. While moved, he was also stirred by a bit of competitive spirit.

"Two quarters of an hour, I won't need that much!"

Xu Jin just snorted coldly and waited quietly while waving his whip.

After shattering more than thirty cups, Ying Ge also successfully achieved this.

And Xu Jin had also figured out new tricks: opening doors, closing doors, and even assisting in dressing. Anyway, it was just one word: learn!

If you can't learn it, I'll whip you!

Inside the Cangming Shang Xinggong, Zhang Zhen and Du Tingyun were plotting through starlight communication. The two had already reached a consensus on the matter of obtaining miraculous merit through assassination.

Each family would send three Fifth Tier Gather Battle late-stage or peak-stage experts.

But while reaching a consensus, Du Tingyun raised a very realistic question.

"What if the National Dao Academy is really fishing?"

"Even if they are fishing, under our surprise attack, with such strong power, plus your and my support, the assassins will definitely be able to succeed and retreat. As long as Cheng Yuexiao doesn't rush over in the first instance, it will be fine." Zhang Zhen stated his judgment.

"What if?"

"But we can't just watch this opportunity slip away, right? Opportunities must not be missed!" Zhang Zhen was anxious, "We cannot sit and wait for death just because we fear Cheng Yuexiao!"

"Indeed, we cannot sit and wait for death, but we can increase the certainty of this matter. For example, strike first to gain the advantage and lure Cheng Yuexiao away." Du Tingyun said.

"Lure Cheng Yuexiao away?"

Zhang Zhen sneered, "Who is going to do the job of seeking death!

Even if it were you or me, we wouldn't be able to successfully escape from Cheng Yuexiao's pursuit, right?"

"Change the way of thinking; luring away doesn't mean fighting Cheng Yuexiao head-on! Within Wanyi, there is a force that can easily lure Cheng Yuexiao away." Du Tingyun said.

"You mean?"

"Yes!"

"It is indeed possible, but I'm afraid it will be too late!"

"Since you are worried it will be too late, then what are you still standing there for? Let's hurry up and take action. Are you going, or am I?"

Du Tingyun asked.

"You go. Over there, your Tianyang Shang Xinggong has more say, and that person is also more wary of you." Zhang Zhen said.

"Good. To be on the safe side, in addition to the number of assassins, both sides will arrange two more support experts. Besides that, you must be prepared to take action and support at the critical moment!

To establish a miraculous merit, not only must we succeed, but we must succeed without loss!" Du Tingyun said.

"No problem. As long as you can handle your side, with the combined efforts of both sides, the probability of succeeding without loss is as high as 80%!" Zhang Zhen said.

"Good, then I will take action immediately!"

At the Ying Mansion, inside Ying Ge's room, Ying Ge was sweating profusely while tidying up his room.

This was the last order Xu Jin had given him!

Why was it an order?

Because the star whip was hanging high!

If he couldn't do it in half an hour, he would whip him!

However, Ying Ge was, after all, a true disciple of the National Dao Academy. With what Xu Jin had taught him, tidying up a room was really a piece of cake.

In two quarters of an hour, he had tidied the room neatly, and even the trash he and Xu Jin had created earlier had been cleaned up.

The only problem was that he relied entirely on star power during this process, and Ying Ge had to take an elixir halfway through to complete it.

"Big Senior Brother, I'm done. Do you think it's up to standard?" Ying Ge's hips and waist flashed with starlight, and he leaped back in front of Xu Jin, asking while wiping away sweat.

This time, Xu Jin did not answer him, but asked again, "Understand?"

And this time, the vitality in Ying Ge's eyes was even more intense!

"I understand, Big Senior Brother! I understand, even without hands or feet, I can still live as usual, I can still live uprightly on my own, and I don't have to rely on..."

Thinking of how he had to have a maid help him wipe his butt before, Ying Ge's eyes turned red again.

That kind of feeling, he never wanted to experience a second time in his life.

Previously, he felt he was a waste!

A waste who could only live by relying on his old man!

But today, after Xu Jin's round of teaching, he suddenly discovered that he could still be an upright person!

"You only understand the first layer."

As soon as Xu Jin said this, Ying Ge immediately looked at Xu Jin's whip with lingering fear, afraid that Xu Jin would whip him again.

But the next instant, Xu Jin directly dissipated the star whip.

"But being able to understand the first layer is already quite good. Listen carefully to what I say next." Xu Jin said.

"Yes! Big Senior Brother, you speak, I'm listening!" Ying Ge nodded heavily!

"First, your three star palaces are intact, so you can still cultivate, and you can still improve your cultivation. You are still a true disciple of the National Dao Academy, so your cultivation resources cannot be wasted."

"I will cultivate hard." Ying Ge nodded heavily.

"Second, since you can improve your cultivation, you can improve your combat strength. You are a great man, my Junior Brother, so you should pull yourself together. I hope you will take back everything you lost with your own hands one day in the future!" Xu Jin said.

Ying Ge had just nodded excitedly, but before he could finish, a look of despondency appeared in his eyes, and his expression was even more bitter.

"Big Senior Brother, in this state of mine, it's already considered a congenital deficiency! My cultivation can improve, but my actual combat ability will definitely be cut in half, right?

I will cultivate hard, I must live well, and I must provide for my father until he passes away! But taking back what I lost with my own hands..."

Outside the door, Ying Bonian was already streaming with tears, directly collapsing under the window, almost crying out loud.

It had been so many days, and his son had finally pulled himself together!

And he even wanted to provide for him until he passed away!

Inside the room, Xu Jin heard what Ying Ge meant.

Cultivation is cultivation, but in the current situation, combat strength is definitely discounted at the same cultivation level, and what is lost cannot be taken back.

Normally speaking, this is indeed the case!

Even Xu Jin, without the support of the starlight from the Arena, could not be a pure mage; his star power consumption was too fast to support high-frequency star art bombardment for a long time.

Even his body was disabled!

"Young Master Xu, I'm sorry, the Eldest Young Master doesn't want to see you. But please still understand."

The butler knew Xu Jin's identity. As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he wiped away tears, "The Eldest Young Master suddenly encountered a huge change, and he was already very uncomfortable, but recently, the blows have come one after another."

"Blows? What do you mean?" Xu Jin's brows suddenly lifted. Hearing the butler say this, was someone actually bullying Ying Ge?

"Sigh!"

The butler pulled Xu Jin to the side and sighed long, "Well, they are a wealthy and noble family, and I can't blame the family head and the patriarch! The Eldest Young Master's food, clothing, and expenses are naturally good, but the cultivation resources within the clan that the Eldest Young Master previously enjoyed have all been ordered by the patriarch to be used to support the Third Young Master, whose talent is second only to the Eldest Young Master.

It just so happens that the Third Young Master, Ying Zhan, is from the Second Master's family of the Ying Mansion, and he has not gotten along with the Eldest Young Master since childhood!

He came to visit a few days ago and even pointed out a few sarcastic remarks in private, ostensibly to comfort him, but actually to stimulate him!

It made the Eldest Young Master extremely uncomfortable!"

The butler wiped away tears as he spoke.

Xu Jin listened and sighed secretly; this is the real internal strife of a wealthy family!

Especially in this era where great power belongs to oneself, once one loses strength, one's status will plummet!

It was only because Ying Ge's father, Ying Bonian, was still around; otherwise, Ying Ge's situation would probably be even worse!

"That's not all; there's more!" The butler wiped away tears again.

"There's more?"

"Certainly, in the inner chambers of a wealthy family, the young masters and young ladies of all other families are all fawning over the Third Young Master, Ying Zhan. Fawning is one thing, and it's very normal. But some people, thinking of fawning over the Third Young Master, took the opportunity of visiting the Eldest Young Master to ostensibly comfort him, but actually to stimulate him!

Look, even the family head has been angered into illness!" the butler said.

Now, Xu Jin was also very angry.

This is simply stepping on one to fawn over another!

It doesn't matter if you fawn over someone.

But stepping on Ying Ge is too much.

But what can Xu Jin do if he is angry?

The affairs of the inner chambers of a wealthy family are not something Xu Jin can intervene in!

"Sigh, the Eldest Young Master is also too kind!

That's not all; the Han family, who were previously engaged to the Eldest Young Master, the Han woman Han Xi, originally planned to get married at the end of this year!

They directly came to the door to break off the engagement.

Breaking off the engagement is one thing.

The family head is also a reasonable person; who let the Eldest Young Master suffer such a great disaster and even become disabled.

So he agreed to break off the engagement.

But this Han family..."

Speaking of this, the butler's chest heaved.

"What happened?"

"This Han family actually... actually directly entrusted someone to go to the Second Master's mansion to act as a matchmaker for the Third Young Master, Ying Zhan!

This... is bullying people too much!" Speaking of this, the Ying Mansion butler was almost driven mad.

This matter, even Xu Jin, an outsider, felt a surge of depression rushing straight to his brain after hearing it.

This Han family is truly too...

"Then did the Second Master of your Ying family agree?" Xu Jin asked, which was also the key.

Speaking of this, the butler's face was somewhat distorted, "The Second Master actually did not beat the matchmaker out at the first opportunity, but instead talked for a long time!

Fortunately, the Great-Grandfather, who is the patriarch, heard about this later and had someone drive the matchmaker away.

But this matter still reached the Eldest Young Master..." The butler sighed helplessly again.

Then he wiped away a tear, "Young Master Xu, I've let you see a joke. I will convey your intentions to the Master and the Eldest Young Master. The Eldest Young Master's mood has been like this lately, so please forgive me."

This was considered seeing the guest out.

Xu Jin's brows furrowed. After thinking for a while, he walked directly toward the depths of the courtyard, intending to go straight in.

Seeing this, the butler hurriedly tried to stop Xu Jin.

"Do you want your Eldest Young Master to remain like this forever? Or do you want him to pull himself together?

If you want your Eldest Young Master to pull himself together, don't stop me." Xu Jin said.

The butler was stunned. After thinking for a while, he hesitated and stepped aside.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin pushed the door and entered.

Just as he entered the door, he saw a large spittoon flying toward his face, and at the same time, Ying Ge's scolding came, "I said don't let anyone in, are you deaf?

Even you have started to bully me, and you don't even listen to my words anymore?"

He saw Ying Ge, who had lost both legs and his right arm, half-lying on the extremely messy bed.

Suddenly, he didn't hear the sound of shattering. Ying Ge realized something was wrong and wanted to look, but he could only tilt his head up, yet he couldn't see anything.

He could only use his remaining left hand to support himself, but just as he got up, he couldn't support himself steadily and rolled onto the ground!

However, Ying Ge had already seen clearly that the person who came was Xu Jin.

"Big... Big Senior Brother, why are you still here! Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave, don't delay your cultivation..."

The next instant, Ying Ge buried his head and face in the quilt and cried loudly.

Xu Jin didn't speak. He silently put down the things in his hands, sat there like that, stroked Ying Ge's back, and watched Ying Ge cry.

Ying Ge cried loudly for a full quarter of an hour, and the crying slowly turned into a roar.

It was as if he were crying out all the grievances and pain of the past half month at once.

Xu Jin also understood that he was just venting a little emotion.

To pull himself together from this, it would be difficult!

"Big Senior Brother, thank you for coming to see me! You coming to see me means you can remember me, and I am already very happy! Among the disciples of the Dao Academy, you are the third one to come see me."

"Who were the first two?"

"Ji Hongli and Wang Jiugao."

"Do you blame me for coming late?"

"No, Big Senior Brother can still remember me, this Junior Brother, and I am already very content..."

As he spoke, Ying Ge cried again.

Life's encounters are like magic and illusion; Ying Ge's experiences these days are like heaven and hell.

When he was talented and powerful before, all he saw was the beauty and kindness of the human world!

Now he has fallen into the mortal world.

What he sees and experiences is all the ugliness and baseness he had never tasted before!

Xu Jin continued to let Ying Ge cry. This time, after Ying Ge finished crying, Xu Jin asked softly.

"I observe your injuries; they didn't damage your three star palaces, right?"

"No."

"Then your star power is still there, right?"

"It is."

"Then look at me."

Ying Ge raised his head and looked at Xu Jin in confusion.

He saw Xu Jin directly turn his star power into a rope, and then, enduring the intense pain, use his star power to fold and bind his own right arm and legs.

Bang!

The moment he bound himself, Xu Jin immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground like a rolling gourd.

His appearance was no better than Ying Ge's.

But the next instant, the star power at Xu Jin's waist and hips suddenly flashed slightly, and Xu Jin instantly sat up from his fall.

With star power continuously spitting from his palms, Xu Jin moved quickly.

Subsequently, Xu Jin ran quickly around the room, the star power of the Flying Fei Xing Bu exploding in different parts, allowing Xu Jin to move forward, turn, retreat, and even do backflips!

At first, he was stumbling.

But he walked more and more smoothly, faster and faster, and later, he had already turned into a phantom!

The next instant, the starlight disappeared, and Xu Jin looked at Ying Ge and asked, "Understand?"

(End of chapter)

(End of chapter)

Hearing this voice, a flash of joy instantly crossed Du Tingyun's eyes, and he sent a message out through the Star Plucking Token without changing his expression.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

After paying respects to Emperor Qian'an, Cheng Yuexiao looked at Du Tingyun, "Star Lord Du, you want to sign a change in the ratio of disciple recruitment numbers for local branch halls and academies between Great Chen and the Tianyang Shang Xinggong for the next year with me, including coordination and defense matters.

If the new Star Lord does not recognize it, what should be done?"

"How could that be! As long as the Great Chen Xing Lord seal of the Tianyang Shang Xinggong is stamped, who would dare not recognize it?" Du Tingyun laughed.

"Oh? Then what about the Star Lord seal? Star Lord Du wouldn't have forgotten to bring it, would you?" Cheng Yuexiao looked at Du Tingyun and asked with a smile.

"I definitely brought it. Come, let's discuss the details first!"

"I'll look at the seal before discussing anything else." Cheng Yuexiao said aggressively.

Du Tingyun was helpless and could only show the Star Lord seal.

"Hehe, it seems Star Lord Du is also very sincere! Since both you and I are busy, why not make a quick decision?" Cheng Yuexiao said.

"This..."

"Then let's discuss this point first. Your Tianyang Shang Xinggong's branch academies in each county were originally limited to recruiting one hundred disciples each year. Since Star Lord Du wants to report to His Majesty, let's lower it this year. How about sixty!"

"Lowering it by so much is impossible!"

"Eighty! Otherwise, there's no point in talking. I'm busy with official business, so I'd better leave!" Cheng Yuexiao made a gesture to leave.

"Fine, eighty it is!"

"Then for this point, please let Star Lord Du use the seal first!"

In the newly formed jade document, Cheng Yuexiao used her own seal first and then handed it to Du Tingyun.

Du Tingyun looked at Cheng Yuexiao and did not want to use the seal, but Cheng Yuexiao was glaring at him like a tiger, looking as if she would leave if he didn't use the seal.

This caused Du Tingyun to harden his heart instantly.

Lower it if you must!

As long as he can establish a miraculous merit, what does it matter if the Shang Xinggong recruits a few less disciples?

He immediately used the seal.

"Good, Star Lord Du is straightforward. Come, let's discuss the next point, the number of disciples recruited by branch halls in each state..."

At the same time, Xu Jin left the Ying Mansion. Ying Bonian watched him off for a long time until Xu Jin disappeared at the end of the small alley, and only then did he return.

The Ying Mansion's large residence in Wanyi was considered a relatively good upper-class ward.

The entire Wanyi was composed of the outer city, the palace city, the imperial city, and the largest number of wards.

Between each ward, there were ward walls separating them. Xu Jin left the Ying Mansion for a thousand meters and turned into a spacious ward road.

Because it was already dark, there were very few pedestrians on the ward road.

Suddenly, extremely abruptly, the Mingji star pattern in Xu Jin's Lower Shang Xinggong flashed violently.

During the flashing, Xu Jin sensed six extremely intense star power fluctuations rushing toward him rapidly from not far away!

The next instant, the sky suddenly brightened.

A net-like star artifact suddenly rushed into the sky.

It covered a thousand-meter radius in front, behind, left, and right of Xu Jin.

This was to prevent Xu Jin from escaping.

At the same instant, six Fifth Tier experts rushed out from different directions and killed Xu Jin.

Among the six Fifth Tier experts, four were Fifth Tier Gather Battle peak-stage, and one was Fifth Tier Gather Battle Eighth Layer and one Ninth Layer.

The moment these six appeared, four other Fifth Tier Gather Battle auras appeared in all directions, but they did not attack; they seemed to be on guard!

"It seems that I, this bait, am still tempting enough; so many have taken the hook!"

Looking at the six Fifth Tier experts who had rushed out, Xu Jin sighed, his mind sank into the Chaotic Star Fall, and he also gripped two Fifth Tier emblems in his hands.

Although he had been prepared, he could not be careless; Xu Jin had to prepare carefully.

His own life was still his own.

The next instant, the white-haired and white-bearded Butler Peng directly fell from the high sky, and with just one kick, he shattered the Fifth Tier star artifact that was sealing the space in the sky!

Flicking his fingers rapidly, three consecutive green lights blasted toward the three Fifth Tier Gather Battle peak-stage experts.

As the green light reached their bodies, it turned into a net shape.

"Seventh Tier!"

The assassins who sensed the aura screamed instantly.

The two Fifth Tier peak-stage experts who reacted quickly dodged directly and did not take it head-on!

One dodged quickly and retreated unscathed, while the other dodged half a step too slowly, and one side of his body was directly shattered by the green light net.

As for the one who was stubborn and took it head-on, he was directly cut into countless pieces of flesh in an instant!

This scene made Xu Jin stare in disbelief, repeatedly shouting "Holy crap!"

Is Butler Peng, who is white-haired and white-bearded and looks kind-hearted, so brutal and bloody when he takes action?

Although these three were blocked, the other three assassins were still killing toward Xu Jin.

The moment these three heard someone shout "Seventh Tier," they were instantly in despair!

They were just killing a small character of the Third Tier Refine Star, yet the other side actually dispatched a Seventh Tier expert!

Then it could be certain that this wave of assassination was a dead end!

There was no escaping!

But if the assassination succeeded, it would be a great merit. According to the tradition of the Shang Xinggong, the families and children of those who died in battle would all receive generous treatment and special care!

They could only fight to the death!

But just as these three rushed to within a hundred meters of Xu Jin and just as they were about to take action, intense golden light and red light shone simultaneously, and everyone felt a blindness before their eyes!

Xu Jin also couldn't help but close his eyes.

But in the sensing of the Mingji star pattern, an extremely familiar star power fluctuation appeared.

It was the Left Libationer Meng Yanhui.

A Sixth Tier peak-stage expert!

He saw that the moment Left Libationer Meng Yanhui appeared, he first stopped the group of assassins, and then three golden rainbows shot out like golden dragons, blasting toward the heads of the three Fifth Tier assassins.

He instantly killed two of them on the spot.

The other one barely took it, but was blasted away while vomiting blood.

With another strike, just as he climbed up, he was directly blasted in the head by the golden rainbow.

And Butler Peng had already directly beheaded the other two on the spot!

In the distance, the four people who had originally been arranged to support the retreat of these six assassins, the moment they saw the Seventh Tier expert appear, turned around and fled without hesitation.

Long whips filled the sky, and fire shadows rose.

On the east side was Liu Qingzhu, and on the west side was Shen Wei!

The two Deputy Academic Rectors rose and took action simultaneously, stopping the escape of these four people in an instant.

The next instant, Meng Yanhui and Butler Peng arrived and wiped out these four people in two breaths.

Especially Butler Peng, as a Seventh Tier expert, he wiped out these assassins with a wave of his hand.

The next moment, Butler Peng's figure disappeared and directly appeared in the high sky two thousand meters away. Looking at Zhang Zhen, the Great Chen Xing Lord of the Cangming Shang Xinggong, whose face was extremely pale, he suddenly sneered.

"Star Lord Zhang, what a coincidence!"
