When Ji Tianxing rushed back to the Ji Mansion, it was already afternoon.
He was covered in blood and dust, drenched in sweat as he rushed into the Ji Mansion. He grabbed the guard at the gate and asked about Ji Hao's whereabouts.
"Is Ji Hao back yet?!"
The guard saw that he was covered in injuries, but didn't dare to ask. He quickly answered, "Eldest Young Master, Young Master Hao just came back not long ago. He's also injured, but his injuries don't seem serious …"
Ji Tianxing was relieved and finally let out a sigh of relief, "It's good that he's fine."
He ignored the guard's concerned questions and hurried back to the Cool Breeze Courtyard.
When he returned to his room, Huan 'er saw that he was covered in blood and dust. She was so worried that her eyes turned red.
"Eldest Young Master! How did you get hurt? What happened? How did you get hurt so badly? "
"Huan 'er, don't worry, I'm fine. Go get the medicine box." Ji Tianxing waved his hand and forced a smile.
Huan 'er quickly brought the medicine box, a basin of water and a towel, and helped Ji Tianxing clean and bandage his wounds.
An hour later, Huan 'er finished bandaging Ji Tianxing's wound and applied some medicine on it.
Ji Tianxing changed his bloodstained clothes and closed the door. He said with a serious face, "Huan 'er, I went to the Xuan Sword Workshop in the southern suburbs today."
"On the way back, I was ambushed by several masked assassins."
After hearing Ji Tianxing's words, Huan 'er was shocked and angry, "Despicable assassins! They deserve to die! "
"Young Master, you are the Eldest Young Master of the Ji Family. Who would have the guts to assassinate you in broad daylight?"
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said with a gloomy face, "The people who want my life the most should be the Ling Family and the Gu Family."
"However, I made a last-minute decision to go to the Xuan Sword Workshop. Only a few people know about it. But those assassins had already set up an ambush, as if they already knew that I would go. "
"So, it shouldn't be the Ling Family. They wouldn't need to go through so much trouble to ambush me in the southern suburbs."
"As for the Gu family, it's very likely that they're involved. However, I suspect that there is a mole in the Ji Mansion. Someone deliberately leaked my whereabouts to kill me. "
At this point, Ji Tianxing had a trace of suspicion towards Ji Hao in his heart.
However, Ji Hao had blocked a sword for him. Moreover, he and Ji Hao had a good relationship since they were young. He did not believe that Ji Hao would want to harm him.
Huan 'er's pretty face was full of worry, and she asked tentatively, "Eldest Young Master, why don't I report this to Master? Master will definitely send someone to investigate clearly."
Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said, "Father is worried about the Gu family's matters, so let's not tell him for now. I have my own plans."
"This …" Huan 'er hesitated. She instinctively felt that this was inappropriate.
At this moment, the door was pushed open by someone with a creak.
Ji Tianxing immediately became alert and turned to look at the door.
Ji Changkong stepped into the room and asked with a serious expression, "Tianxing, do you also suspect that there is a traitor in our Ji Clan?"
Ji Tianxing gave Huan 'er a look, indicating that she should leave first.
After bowing to the two, Huan 'er obediently left the room and closed the door.
Ji Tianxing looked at Ji Changkong and calmly said, "Father, did you hear what Huan 'er and I said just now?"
His father was an expert at the sixth stage of the Tongxuan realm. He could clearly hear everything within a hundred feet.
Sure enough, Ji Changkong nodded and said with a worried expression, "Tianxing, your suspicions are reasonable. Our Ji Clan has never been a monolith."
"Especially in the face of such a great enemy. Powerful enemies are lying in wait. Someone in the Ji Mansion wants to take your life. This is something that I have long expected."
After a pause, he solemnly exhorted, "From now on, you should stay at home and recuperate. You must not leave the Ji Mansion as you wish. If you have to go out, you must bring a guard with you. "
Ji Tianxing nodded and thought of the Gu Clan's matter. He asked, "Father, how is the Gu Clan's matter?"
The corner of Ji Changkong's mouth curled into a cold smile. He said in a deep voice, "How could the Gu Clan fall out with our Ji Clan over a hedonistic young master? Even if the Gu Clan had several guts, they wouldn't dare! "
"You don't have to worry. Just focus on recuperating. I have already suppressed this matter. It is nothing more than giving the Gu Clan an explanation and compensating them with some money. "
Although his father spoke lightly, Ji Tianxing could see the exhaustion and anxiety in his father's eyes. It was obvious that this matter was not easily resolved.
Yet, his father pretended to be calm and still wanted to comfort him.
This caused his heart to clench. He felt even more ashamed of his father. His desire to become stronger became more and more urgent.
Ji Changkong sat down beside him and said in a low voice, "As for the matter of the traitor in the Ji Clan, it is best not to make a big deal out of it for now. Otherwise, it will damage the Ji Clan's foundation. However, I will not sit by and do nothing. After two days, I will give them a good beating and make them obediently put away their tails! "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said, "I understand. For now, we must focus on the big picture."
Ji Changkong let out a long sigh. His tone was somewhat sorrowful as he said, "Currently, the Ji Clan is in a precarious situation with internal and external troubles. Recently, I have been suffering from internal injuries. I am afraid that I do not have much time left. I am most worried about you. If I am no longer in this world one day, even if I hand over the Ji Clan to you, with your current situation, how will you be able to shoulder it? "
"When that time comes, not only will the Ji Clan break apart internally, who knows how many vicious wolves will pounce on the Ji Clan from the outside. How will you deal with them? I am afraid that you will soon be murdered by those vicious wolves who eat people without spitting out their bones. "
"Tianxing, for the future … what are your thoughts and plans?"
Ji Tianxing's heart was heavy. He felt as if his father was making arrangements for his death.
He hurriedly consoled, "Father, I have failed to live up to your expectations and made you worry. You are a Mystic Enlightening realm expert. As long as you focus on recuperating from your injuries, you will definitely live a long life. "
"As for myself, I already have a plan in mind. There is still about a month before the Sky Pillar Sect's entrance competition. I will think of a way to recover my strength within a month. "
"When the time comes, not only will I win the top ten in the competition and enter the Sky Pillar Sect, but I will also wash away the humiliation the Ling Clan brought me and take revenge on that bitch Ling Yunfei!"
Entering the Sky Pillar Sect had always been Ji Tianxing's dream.
Especially today, after seeing Yun Yao and the two Sky Pillar Sect disciples in the Southern Suburbs, this thought in his heart became even more firm!
He was originally a martial arts genius who was obsessed with martial arts cultivation. Of course, he yearned for the realm of experts who could fly and control the power of Heaven and Earth.
Who didn't want to be like the disciples of the Sky Pillar Sect who had unfathomable martial arts and rode powerful spirit beasts and galloped freely in the vast world?
Who didn't dream of becoming the number one elite like Yun Yao who was famous in the Tianchen Region and worshipped by the young talents of the Ten Nations?
Of course, Ji Tianxing wanted to!
Even in his dreams, he wanted to become a martial arts powerhouse and soar high in the sky like Yun Yao, overlooking all living beings!
