After Ji Tianxing left the square, he went straight back to Tianxing Courtyard.
The two servants and the maidservant, Xiao Shuang, who were guarding the courtyard, were cleaning the courtyard listlessly. They seemed to be in low spirits.
Obviously, in the month that Ji Tianxing left the sect, there were many rumors and slanders in the sect. The servants and maidservant, Xiao Shuang, were also implicated and ridiculed by others.
When Ji Tianxing stepped into the courtyard, the servants and maidservant, Xiao Shuang, were stunned when they saw him.
When the three of them came back to their senses, they were immediately pleasantly surprised. They hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Senior Brother Ji, you're finally back!"
"That's great! Senior Brother Ji, you're finally back! "
"Senior Brother Ji, I'll go boil some water for you and help you wash up …"
The three of them seemed to have found their backbone. They were in high spirits and straightened their backs.
Ji Tianxing only nodded slightly at the three of them and went back to his room to take a bath and change his clothes.
He sat in the room for a while, and maidservant, Xiao Shuang, brought in a wooden basin and hot water.
Just as he finished washing his face, a servant disciple came in to report to him.
"Senior Brother Ji, Senior Brother Bai is here to look for you. He's waiting outside the door."
The servant disciple's tone was a little strange. He seemed to be angry with 'Senior Brother Bai', but he dared not say anything.
Ji Tianxing immediately frowned. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Hehe, I just came back. How did he get the news so quickly?"
He sneered in his heart. He stepped out of the room and came to the entrance of the courtyard.
Bai Wuchen was waiting outside the door. He exuded an arrogant and cold aura, and there was a cold smile on his face.
He looked at Ji Tianxing contemptuously and said in a strange tone, "Hehe, Junior Brother Ji, you haven't shown up for a month. I thought you ran away because you didn't dare to come back!"
"Junior Brother Ji must have been hiding and running around in this month, right? Otherwise, why would you be in such a sorry state? "
Ji Tianxing looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "It's just a duel with you. What's there to be afraid of?"
"You don't have the qualifications to make me take you seriously!"
Bai Wuchen did not get angry. As if he did not hear Ji Yunshu's words, he sneered and said, "Junior Brother Ji, I'm surprised that you have the courage to come back."
"Don't worry, I won't let you lose too badly in front of all the disciples, deacons, and elders in the Heaven Ranking Competition tomorrow!"
Ji Tianxing looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. He revealed a look of pity and said indifferently, "Seeing that you are still so stupid, I am relieved."
Bai Wuchen furrowed his brows. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He was furious, but he didn't want to show it.
Ever since he had been angered to the point of vomiting blood by Qian Yue, he had secretly made up his mind that no matter how angry he was, he would not let Ji Tianxing see him.
"Junior Brother Ji, let's meet at the Inner Sanctum Square tomorrow. Don't chicken out at the last minute!"
"It's just a year of being a servant disciple. You will get used to it soon."
Bai Wuchen sneered. After saying that, he turned and left Tianxing Courtyard.
Ji Tianxing ignored Bai Wuchen's mockery and returned to his room expressionlessly.
After an hour, he finished washing up and changed into a new white robe. He had regained his handsome and heroic appearance.
At this moment, a woman in a white dress with an otherworldly temperament arrived at the entrance of Tianxing Courtyard.
When the maid, Xiao Shuang, saw her, her face was filled with respect. She bowed and greeted her Eldest Senior Sister.
The woman in the white dress was Yun Yao.
Xiao Shuang led her through the courtyard and into the living room.
When Ji Tianxing heard that Yun Yao had arrived, he quickly walked into the living room and greeted her.
Yun Yao looked at him with a complicated expression before she said, "It's been a month since we last met. You're finally back."
"Everyone has been worried about you during this period of time. Five days ago, Master even sent someone to look for you."
Ji Tianxing sat down next to her and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have made everyone worried."
Yun Yao continued to ask, "I heard from the disciples that you were covered in dust when you came back. You were covered in wounds and looked a little disheveled … Did anything happen?"
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said calmly, "I only went to settle some personal matters. Although it was a little dangerous, it was nothing serious."
"Mm, that's good." Yun Yao nodded and observed him for a moment. Suddenly, a hint of surprise flashed across her clear eyes.
"Junior Brother Tianxing, you … you've reached the fifth stage of the Mystic Enlightening Stage?"
Ji Tianxing's strength had increased. Moreover, his Sword Embryo had merged with the Power of Flame. His strength had become low-profile and obscure.
Ordinary Mystic Enlightening Stage experts, such as Bai Wuchen, would not be able to see his strength level.
Only a Primal Core expert like Yun Yao would be able to see through his strength.
Ji Tianxing did not hide it. He nodded calmly and said, "That's right."
"I haven't seen you for a month and you've advanced by three stages. It's simply … unbelievable!" Yun Yao's beautiful face was filled with astonishment. She could not help but exclaim.
She looked at Ji Tianxing with a deep gaze. Her thoughts went back to a few months ago.
She recalled the first time she met Ji Tianxing in Qingyun Nation.
At that time, Ji Tianxing was still a trash at the third level of the Body Refinement Realm. He was extremely weak.
However, in the short span of a month, he had reached the True Energy Realm and won first place in the tournament.
The speed at which his strength increased was simply unimaginable.
Thinking back to the past few months, Yun Yao realized that he had been rapidly growing and rising. He had also been creating miracles.
The closer she got to Ji Tianxing and the more she understood him, the more she felt that she could not see through him.
This feeling filled her heart with shock, gratification, and happiness.
After a while, Yun Yao collected her thoughts and revealed a faint smile. She said to Ji Tianxing, "Since that's the case, have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's Heaven List Tournament."
"I'll go and report the news to Master now."
Ji Tianxing stood up and cupped his hands. He smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Eldest Senior Sister. Help me report to Master that I'm safe."
Yun Yao nodded and left.
Ji Tianxing sent her out of the door and watched her figure disappear into the distance. Only then did he turn around and return to his room.
After that, no one came to Tianxing's courtyard to disturb him.
He had been on the move for a month and experienced all kinds of life and death dangers. He was already physically and mentally exhausted.
After returning to his room, he laid on the bed in a relaxed manner. He closed his eyes to rest and conserve his energy.
That night, undercurrents surged in the Sky Pillar Sect. It was not calm.
The news of Ji Tianxing's return to the Sky Pillar Sect had already spread in the sect.
Previously, countless disciples thought that he had escaped. They had all discussed and mocked him contemptuously.
Many people felt that he would probably become the biggest laughing stock in the Tianchen Region.
However, no one expected that he would return the day before the Heaven List Tournament.
Countless disciples were filled with surprise and were filled with anticipation for tomorrow's Heaven List Tournament.
