Now, the Ling Family had escaped.
The Ji Family's guards were cleaning up the battlefield. Ji Tianxing was also busy treating his father's injuries and did not appear again.
The bloody battle had ended.
Bai Wuchen retracted his indifferent gaze and glanced at Yun Yao beside him.
Seeing that she was still staring at the Ji Mansion's courtyard with a pensive expression, he probed, "Eldest Senior Sister, just now, that brat was in a life and death crisis and almost lost his life. Why didn't you save him?"
Hao Meng had the same question and nodded. "That's right. If Eldest Senior Sister had helped, those people from the Ling Family would have died."
Yun Yao collected her thoughts and said calmly, "This is a personal grudge between the Ji Family and the Ling Family. Why should I save him?"
Hao Meng grinned and did not say anything.
Bai Wuchen nodded slightly and the inexplicable jealousy in his heart dissipated.
Ever since he came to the Imperial City, he had always felt that Yun Yao was a little strange. She seemed to be very concerned about that brat with the surname Ji and had even saved him several times.
He had always admired Yun Yao in the depths of his heart and dreamed of winning her favor.
However, Yun Yao turned a blind eye to his feelings and her attitude was neither warm nor cold. He did not dare to express his feelings at all.
He always felt that as one of the top ten prodigies in the Sky Pillar Sect, he was not even as good as a nobody who could receive Yun Yao's favor.
Now that he heard Yun Yao's explanation, the jealousy in his heart disappeared.
At this moment, Yun Yao asked, "Junior Martial Brothers, how's the investigation of the person the sect mission asked us to look for? Do you have any leads? "
Bai Wuchen smiled and quickly answered, "Eldest Senior Sister, we have some leads on this matter."
"After careful investigation, we found a person who fits the description of the person the sect is looking for."
"Who?" Yun Yao raised her eyebrows.
Bai Wuchen smiled and said, "Young Prince Ji Ling!"
"Him?" Yun Yao showed a trace of confusion. "Why him?"
Hao Meng hurriedly explained, "Eldest Senior Sister, the sect's mission requires us to find a person whose fate has undergone a drastic change recently, and this person must be a martial arts genius."
"Little Prince, Ji Ling was originally a trash with a damaged dantian and could only remain in the Body Refinement Realm for the rest of his life. However, a few days ago, he obtained the Scarlet Star Flower. After consuming it, he went into closed door cultivation for two days and repaired his damaged Dantian, reaching the True Energy Stage. "
"I've investigated his strength. He's actually at the seventh level of the True Energy Realm. In such a short period of time, he had undergone such a huge change. Isn't this the reversal of one's fate, a shocking change? "
"Therefore, Senior Brother Bai and I both feel that he is the person our sect is looking for."
After hearing Hao Meng's words, Yun Yao immediately frowned, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
She looked at Hao Meng with a burning gaze and asked, "How did you know that he had recovered his dantian and reached the True Energy Realm after obtaining the Scarlet Meteorite Flower?"
Bai Wuchen smiled and explained, "Eldest Senior Sister, you've always been engrossed in martial arts and don't pay attention to the outside world. Of course, you don't know about this."
"But this news came from the Spirit Fire Palace. Now, everyone in the Imperial City knows about it."
Hao Meng continued, "Eldest Senior Sister, in my opinion, with Little Prince Ji Ling's strength, he will definitely be able to defeat everyone in the sect's entrance competition in ten days and become the champion."
"After the competition ends, we'll bring him back to the sect and successfully complete the mission."
After saying that, he and Bai Wuchen looked at each other and smiled, as if they were proud of their ability.
However, Yun Yao did not have a trace of joy on her face. She muttered with a strange expression, "That's impossible! How did Little Prince obtain the Scarlet Meteorite Flower? "
Bai Wuchen smiled and said, "Eldest Senior Sister, how is that impossible? You only obtained the stamen of the Scarlet Meteorite Flower. It's very likely that Little Prince obtained the petals. "
"Although he only obtained the petals, it's enough for him to repair his damaged dantian."
Yun Yao was silent. She looked in the direction of the Ji Mansion's courtyard and thought to herself, 'There's only one Scarlet Meteorite Flower and it was clearly obtained by him and me. Little Prince Ji Ling claimed that he obtained the Scarlet Meteorite Flower and used it to repair his dantian and reach the True Energy Realm … '
'There's definitely something wrong with this King Luo Yan! I don't know why he purposely spread this news. Could it be that there's more to this matter? '
At this moment, Bai Wuchen and Hao Meng saw that she was silent and seemed to be thinking about something. They asked in unison, "Eldest Senior Sister, what's wrong?"
Yun Yao shook her head with a normal expression. "Nothing. You two can leave first. I want to be alone."
Bai Wuchen and Hao Meng were stunned. They cupped their hands at Yun Yao and turned to leave the pagoda.
…
The third courtyard of the Ji Mansion. This was the residence of the Ji Family's Patriarch, Ji Changkong.
There were guards both inside and outside the courtyard. The security was tight. The guards all had solemn expressions and were emitting a murderous aura.
The Ji Family members who came to visit the Family Head were all stopped by the guards at the door.
They could only see the maids and servants carrying wooden basins and towels hurriedly entering and leaving the small courtyard.
All the towels and basins that came out of the room were dyed a dark red with blood. It was a ghastly sight.
The Ji Family members couldn't see Ji Changkong. They could only guess the condition of Ji Changkong's injuries based on the bloodstained towels and hot water. They discussed in private with worry.
At this moment, there were only three people in Ji Changkong's bedroom.
The unconscious Ji Tianxing was sitting at the head of the bed with a solemn expression. The white-bearded old medicine master was standing at the side.
Although Ji Changkong's blood-soaked robe had been changed, the room was still filled with the smell of blood.
The old medicine master saw that Ji Tianxing's face was filled with anxiety and was silent. He comforted him, "Eldest Young Master, don't be too anxious."
"This old man has just treated Master's injuries and used a pill to temporarily suppress the poison in his body. Now, Master's life is no longer in danger."
"Next, you will need to let the servants take care of Master every day. Also, follow this old man's prescription and give Master the medicine on time. This way, Master can rest for several months …"
"Rest for several months?" Ji Tianxing immediately frowned. His expression became even more solemn.
The Ji Family was currently facing internal and external troubles. They were already in a precarious situation. If this was delayed for several months, an unforeseen event would have already occurred.
He asked in a low voice, "Elder Qi, when will my father wake up?"
"This …" The old medicine master was silent. He hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Eldest Young Master, this old man can't say for sure. Perhaps he will wake up tonight or in a few days or half a month."
"The poison in Master's body was produced by mixing two kinds of medicinal powders. It should be the Ling Family's secret poison, the Energy Destroying Powder. Apart from the Ling Family's antidote, it can only be slowly dispelled with profound cultivation. "
"Unfortunately, Master is heavily injured and his cultivation has declined to the extreme. It will be very difficult for him to dispel the Energy Destroying Powder. Moreover, even if Master dispels the poison in a few months, I'm afraid that his martial arts foundation will be damaged and his strength will fall greatly … "
After listening to Doctor Qi's explanation, Ji Tianxing's mood became even heavier. The killing intent in his eyes became even colder.
"Damn Ling Family! And the Ji Family's traitor! "
"One day, I, Ji Tianxing, will make you pay with your blood and die without a burial place!"
