Chapter 1331: I Do Not Agree
"Mm!"
A trace of despondency flashed through the woman's eyes. She nodded and said in a low voice, "Father and the uncles have already nodded. Besides, as long as we can cure Wufeng and help him reclaim the position of Divine Son, it is not necessarily a bad thing for us!"
Ji Wu Yun was immediately full of anxiety: "No, Sister, Father and the uncles are muddled, how can you follow them in being muddled? This is clearly the Shennong Clan taking advantage of our misfortune. Not only do they want you to marry into their clan, but they also want us to hand over the Shadow Blood Killing Art of the Shadow Pagoda Sect. If the others in the sect find out about this..."
"Shut up!" The woman's expression changed, and she barked at Ji Wu Yun to stop.
At this moment, she had already discovered that Xu Que and these few strangers were present, and they were even at the entrance of the Shadow Pagoda Sect. For Ji Wu Yun to say these things here could very likely bring a great disaster upon their family!
If it were only her marrying into the Shennong Clan, that would not count as a major crime.
As long as Ji Wufeng could reclaim the position of Divine Son, the Ji family's status within the Shadow Pagoda would rise with the tide. She was willing to sacrifice herself, Ji Qinghan.
However, the Medicine God's condition was that they also had to hand over the Shadow Blood Saber Art. Once the others in the sect knew that the Ji family had privately leaked the sect's secret techniques, it would be a capital crime that would implicate the entire family, giving others a reason to deal with the Ji family.
"Wuyun, who are these people..." Ji Qinghan looked at Xu Que and the others with a vigilant gaze.
Ji Wu Yun immediately perked up and said happily, "Right, Sister, these are the capable people from the Exploding Heaven Gang. Especially this Brother Xu, he is Xu Que's father's son, Xu Que!"
"What?" Ji Qinghan exclaimed in shock, her face full of horror.
Although Ji Wu Yun introduced Xu Que as Xu Que's father's son, it sounded fine, but it was a bit of a mouthful. After all, everyone had only heard of Xu Que's father, but no one knew the true name of Xu Que's father.
However, this was enough to make Ji Wu Yun's sister feel panicked.
One must know that the two major forces of the Ziwei Immortal Realm, as well as other families, including the Shennong Clan, were all currently hunting down Xu Que's father and Xu Que.
A slogan had even spread throughout the Heavenly Continent: Kill Xu Que first, then kill his father!
Now that their Ji family had just invited the Medicine God of the Shennong Clan, Ji Wu Yun had actually brought Xu Que here. This was simply asking for trouble and bringing disaster upon themselves.
"Sister, listen to me first. You all know that I have some friendship with Brother Xu's father. If he is willing to take action, Brother Wufeng will definitely be saved, and we won't need to look at the Shennong Clan's faces," Ji Wu Yun explained.
"Nonsense!"
Ji Qinghan bit her lower lip tightly, suppressing her anger, and glared at Ji Wu Yun: "Your brother's illness can be cured by no one except the Medicine God. Even if Xu Que's father once revived the Peach Garden, it has nothing to do with your brother's illness. Don't tell me you still believe the rumors from the outside world that sleeping with him will cure it?"
"Presumptuous!"
At this moment, Xu Que suddenly shouted, glared at Ji Qinghan, and scolded: "You have such great courage, how dare you speak rudely about my father?"
Having said this, Xu Que looked at Ji Wu Yun with a straight face: "Brother Ji, is this what you meant when you said no one dared to provoke us? Look at your sister, is this the attitude she uses to speak to a god of men?"
"No, Brother Xu, my sister was just angry and confused for a moment. Don't lower yourself to her level. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter!" Ji Wu Yun hurriedly explained.
Others might not believe in the ability of Xu Que's father, but he believed in it completely.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes in the ancient ruins how formidable "Xu Que's father" was. He was simply a man who could create infinite miracles!
"No need. Since this Miss Ji does not welcome us, it is not convenient for us to stay any longer. Farewell!" Xu Que cupped his hands and turned to leave.
He had to leave. Ji Wu Yun, this pit-digging fool, clearly had no say in anything. If they stayed and encountered the Medicine God of the Shennong Clan, who knew if the Ji family would sell them out!
"Wait a moment, Brother Xu, please stay and listen to a word from me!" Ji Wu Yun became anxious and hurriedly grabbed Xu Que.
"Don't say anything more. I roughly know the reason you asked us to come over. To tell you the truth, my father is not in the Heavenly Continent right now. Even if he had a way to cure your brother, I'm afraid he would be unable to help, because I can't contact him either!" Xu Que shook his head.
"This..." Ji Wu Yun was stunned on the spot.
"Brother Ji, don't be like this. This matter is not your fault, but I, Xu Que, have decided to be friends with you!" Xu Que smiled, patted Ji Wu Yun on the shoulder, and then turned to leave.
However, just as he took a step, Ji Qinghan's voice came from behind.
"Stop, you cannot leave from here!"
She walked up quickly and looked at Xu Que with an expressionless face: "The Medicine God of the Shennong Clan is outside the city, preparing to enter. If you leave from here, you will definitely run into him, which will bring us unnecessary trouble."
"Oh? So you want me to take the back door?" Xu Que asked with a smile.
"That is not the case. Our Heavenly Fiend City only has one teleportation array for entry and exit; there is no so-called back door!" Ji Qinghan shook her head.
"Heh, so you mean you want to put us under house arrest?" Xu Que sneered immediately.
If she had let them take the back door to avoid the people from the Shennong Clan, he wouldn't have minded, out of respect for Ji Wu Yun.
But if this Ji Qinghan really intended to put them under house arrest, then he couldn't tolerate it. Even if she was Ji Wu Yun's sister, he couldn't give her that face!
"Little Brother Xu, please don't misunderstand. I am only doing this for your own good. The Medicine God of the Shennong Clan is already at the Great Luo True Immortal stage. If you are discovered by him, he will definitely not let you off!"
Ji Qinghan shook her head slightly and continued: "Besides, you were brought here by my younger brother. If you are killed in Heavenly Fiend City, our Shadow Pagoda Sect will lose face, and it will also cause some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I would like to invite you to stay in the backyard for the time being. After that Medicine God leaves, you can then..."
"Sorry, I do not agree to this request!" Xu Que directly interrupted Ji Qinghan's words and shook his head lightly.
No matter how nicely Ji Qinghan put it, it could not change the fact that her actions were no different from house arrest.
Before Xu Que left the Heavenly Continent, he had already decided not to keep a low profile anymore, which was why he had caused such a scene at the Saint Sect.
Now that he had returned, how could he continue to develop in a cowardly way?
If a person doesn't cause trouble, what is the difference between them and a salted fish?
Furthermore, Ji Qinghan had revealed a piece of information: the Medicine God of the Shennong Clan was only at the Great Luo True Immortal stage. If Xu Que unsealed his seal, he could kill the opponent in minutes. Not to mention that Fairy Zixia was also here. Xu Que really couldn't think of any reason why he should avoid that Medicine God!
At this moment, Ji Qinghan was also slightly stunned, seemingly very surprised by Xu Que's answer.
She frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Little Brother Xu, are you planning to throw yourself into the net?"
"Heh heh, the one throwing themselves into the net is probably that Medicine God of the Shennong Clan!" Xu Que shook his head and laughed.
Ji Qinghan's eyebrows furrowed even deeper, and she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh in her heart. In the end, he was just a young man, a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, daring to boast like this here.
That Medicine God of the Shennong Clan was at the Great Luo True Immortal realm, while this Xu Que was only at the Human Immortal realm. Even if there was a peak Golden Immortal realm expert protecting him by his side, how could he possibly be the Medicine God's opponent?
To speak such wild words now was truly ridiculous!
