Chapter 1333: Intercepting Halfway

Xu Que's group eventually stayed in the Ji family's backyard.

This was the territory of the Shadow Pagoda Sect. The Ji family only occupied a part of it, and this backyard was where several outstanding younger generation members of their Ji family lived.

After Xu Que and the others were arranged to stay, the Ji family also sent people to serve them personally.

It was called serving, but in reality, it was a form of supervision to prevent them from running around the mansion and being discovered by the Medicine God of the Shennong Clan.

Clearly, this was also arranged by Ji Qinghan. She did not report the news of Xu Que's group's arrival and directly suppressed it.

Ji Wu Yun felt quite helpless about this, but for the safety of the Ji family, he could only pretend to be ignorant. Moreover, to express his apology, he specifically ran over to tell Xu Que that the immortal artifact he had borrowed for his father did not need to be returned!

Xu Que had never thought about returning it, but he still had to be polite with his words, so he pulled Ji Wu Yun over and spoke some heartfelt words.

"Brother Ji, as the saying goes, if you borrow and return, it's not difficult to borrow again. What my father borrowed must be returned by him, and it must be returned. If you don't let my father return it, you are looking down on our Xu family!" Xu Que said with iron-clad integrity and resounding power.

Ji Wu Yun was bluffed by his momentum, feeling as if Xu Que would immediately beat him up if he didn't let Xu Que's father return the immortal artifact.

Helpless, Ji Wu Yun could only smile bitterly and nod: "Since Brother Xu says so, then..."

"Pa!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Que suddenly slapped one hand heavily on Ji Wu Yun's shoulder and then gave him a warm hug.

"Good brother, you don't need to say anything more. I understand you. For the sake of your sincerity, I will reluctantly accept this kindness on behalf of my father. No need to return it!"

Xu Que was full of deep emotion, pointed at Ji Wu Yun, and shook his head: "I really don't know what to say about you. I've never seen anyone as generous as you. I, Xu Que, have decided to be your brother!"

"Uh?"

Ji Wu Yun was stunned for a moment. He was silly for quite a while before he reacted that the other party had accepted his kindness again.

Immediately, he also nodded in a daze and laughed dryly: "Good brother!"

Until he left Xu Que's room, his brain still couldn't turn around, wondering what had just happened.

Er Gouzi, Duan Jiude, and the others witnessed the whole thing and were all speechless.

There was no way around it. When it came to being shameless, being thick-skinned, and fooling people, who was as powerful as this man?

"Invincible!"

"Awesome!"

Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude gave Xu Que a thumbs up!

Mo Junchen shook his head and smiled. He had already become accustomed to the style of this "Virtue-Lacking Dog" combination and was no longer surprised.

Liu Jingning sat quietly on the side, looking at the equally quiet Fairy Zixia from time to time, and Fairy Zixia also looked at Liu Jingning from time to time.

This atmosphere was very abnormal, as if they were two little wild cats staring at each other, ready to fight at any time.

"Alright, alright, everyone go back to your rooms. Rest here for two days first!" Xu Que saw that something was wrong and hurriedly started chasing people away.

The crowd didn't ask much about his decision to change his mind and stay.

After all, everyone knew in their hearts that the Medicine God of the Shennong Clan was not a threat to them at all. Xu Que suddenly said he wanted to stay, and according to this guy's past style, he was probably planning to cause some trouble again.

However, since he didn't say anything, Mo Junchen didn't ask much either.

Liu Jingning and Fairy Zixia were busy staring at each other and also ignored what Xu Que was planning to do.

In their eyes, Xu Que's plan was probably not as important as their current staring contest!

That day, the Ji family's backyard was peaceful.

The main hall was indeed bustling with activity. Almost all the important members of the Ji family were present, preparing to welcome the Medicine God of the Shennong Clan.

Even several other big figures of the Shadow Pagoda Sect had personally rushed over to meet the Medicine God.

"I have long heard of the Medicine God's great name. Today, I finally have the opportunity to see you. It is truly my honor!" The head of the Chang family of the Shadow Pagoda Sect had not yet arrived, but his voice had already traveled over.

He laughed heartily and walked with the stride of a tiger, but the gazes of everyone in the main hall were gathered on the middle-aged man beside him.

"What's going on? Why did the Medicine God come over with the head of the Chang family?" In the main hall, Ji Qinghan's expression changed immediately.

Originally, she should have personally welcomed the Medicine God, but because of Xu Que and the others, she had rushed back to arrange accommodation and hide their whereabouts, missing the opportunity to welcome the Medicine God, and could only wait in the main hall.

However, she had also been careful and sent other members of the Ji family to welcome the Medicine God, but she hadn't expected the head of the Chang family to appear.

All along, within the Shadow Pagoda, the Chang family had been the Ji family's greatest rival, including the position of Divine Son that Ji Wufeng had lost due to illness, which had been snatched away by the Chang family's younger generation member, Chang Wuwei!

Now that the Ji family had pinned their hopes on the Medicine God, the head of the Chang family had walked together with the Medicine God, which made the expressions of all the Ji family members in the main hall turn ugly.

The big figures of several other families who were originally standing on the Ji family's side also frowned.

"Eh, everyone is here. What a coincidence. Old man I was just about to go out, but I didn't expect to meet the Medicine God. We hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation!" At this moment, the head of the Chang family walked into the main hall and pretended to be surprised as he looked at the Ji family members, but his eyes were full of sneers and mockery.

Although the Medicine God had the face of a middle-aged man, he had an extraordinary temperament and a scholarly demeanor, which was quite eye-catching.

At this moment, however, he was expressionless and walked into the main hall together with the head of the Chang family, his eyes having no communication with the Ji family members.

This caused the hearts of the Ji family members to sink to the bottom.

When the Medicine God had discussed conditions with them before, he had been full of laughter and talk. Now, with this attitude, it was obvious that something had gone wrong!

"Medicine God, sorry to trouble you to make a trip personally. You've worked hard!" Ji Qinghan could no longer guess and hurriedly greeted him with a smiling face, inviting the Medicine God to take a seat.

Subsequently, the main hall fell into a strange atmosphere.

The head of the Chang family kept talking about irrelevant things, praising the Medicine God, and whenever the Ji family members tried to steer the conversation toward the illness, they were always interrupted by the head of the Chang family.

What made the Ji family members even more desperate was that the Medicine God kept picking up the boring topics of the head of the Chang family. For the entire day, everyone was just chatting blindly and never mentioned the real business!

Until night began to fall, the main hall became quiet!

The Medicine God was arranged to stay in the Chang family's backyard. The Ji family members almost guessed what had happened and all had gloomy expressions, especially the head of the Ji family, whose face was extremely ugly.

Intercepting halfway was not the first time they had seen it, but this time it involved Ji Wufeng's position as Divine Son and involved the Ji family's status within the Shadow Pagoda, so it really could not be lost!

In the end, the Ji family members also left the main hall, including Ji Qinghan and Ji Wu Yun, who also had tightly furrowed brows as they followed the various Ji family elders. Clearly, this matter could only be discussed internally in a meeting.

At the same time, the Ji family's backyard, which had been peaceful for a day, began to have movement!

In the pitch-black night, a dog and an old man sneaked into Xu Que's room.

The two of them and the dog set up a concealment array, isolating their aura and sound, sat face to face, and began to talk in low voices.

Gradually, their voices grew louder, as if they had started a dispute, arguing endlessly, especially Duan Jiude, whose neck veins were bulging and who was shouting hysterically.
