Back to Apricot Forest (IV)
Ji Wujiong raised his lips and smiled triumphantly: “From now on, you can tell the world that you are the disciple acknowledged by , the head of Ji family.”
ng Qi’s lips curled up slightly. If she beca Lin Yan’s disciple, using her na outside would be enough to gain the respect of more than half of dical cultivators. But Ji Wujiong? Did his na have any good effect?
After all, he had successfully gathered the hatred of the major dical sects in Three Thousand Worlds.
“You don’t believe ?” Ji Wujiong threw a strange-looking black iron token to ng Qi, “Whoever dares to put you in disadvantage, show this token to them. If you cannot scare them away, co and find .”
ng Qi: “…”
“ng Qi.” Ji Wujiong raised his eyebrows, “I said to you. Even if I need to lie, deceive, threaten, or kidnap, I will definitely get what I want. I am willing to use any ans and won’t be so soft with you next ti. If you don’t want to be forced, get stronger!”
Leaving these last words behind, Ji Wujiong turned and walked away. The place they were now was also an apricot forest. Further ahead, apricot trees grew lushly in a large abundance, swallowing Ji Wujiong’s departing figure.
ng Qi lowered her eyes and examined the strange-looking token in her hand. The token, made of black iron, seed to be pretty old. A ‘Ji’ character in archaic writing engraved on its surface.
Ji family? ng Qi stared blankly. How could she have never heard about a powerful sect surnad Ji before? Were they perhaps a hidden seclusive clan?
ng Qi put the token into her storage space item.
Bring it out to scare people?
No need!
With Ji Wujiong’s prideful character, poisonous tongue, and habit of looking down on everyone and everything, ng Qi believed that this na token would attract a large number of his enemies instead.
ng Qi also put away the profound-grade spirit stones in her hand and took a look at the bamboo slip Ji Wujiong threw at her. After putting a trace of aura into the bamboo slip and reading its content, ng Qi’s expression suddenly beca weird.
‘I owe ng Qi one thousand profound-grade spirit stones and a dicine cauldron — Ji Wujiong’
ng Qi was a little bit dumbfounded. Ji Wujiong had indeed promised her, but when they were still trapped inside the Grand Tournant barrier, they were partners in arms who fought towards the sa goal. Without Ji Wujiong, she might have fallen under the attack of Tengshe Sect Leader, or perhaps couldn’t even pass the first test.
Ji Wujiong and Lu Qingran were very close. In a normal situation, ng Qi would surely charge him a hefty price if she were to give him dical treatnt. But during the Grand Tournant tests, such a thought had never passed her mind.
ng Qi raised her eyes and stared at the road ahead. The wind passed the apricot forest, rustling the lush foliages. Ji Wujiong’s figure had long gone. Maybe the situation outside was really as he said, and dozens of large sects were waiting to kill him to vent their anger. But for so reason, ng Qi also believed that he was not afraid of them. Just as he dared to disturb the dical Cultivator Conference single-handedly, Ji Wujiong should also be able to escape smoothly.
ng Qi put the bamboo slip into her storage space, adjusted her mood, and strode out of the apricot forest. She wondered how her friends were now. Sikong Xing must be very worried, while Xue Jinwen was probably still recuperating. There was also Su Junmo. Although that fox was usually very noisy, he should also be worried after she was trapped inside the barrier.
Thinking about her friends, ng Qi’s expression softened. She subconsciously hastened her pace and walked through the apricot forest. She didn’t know how long she had been inside the barrier, especially because the last illusion array had made her a little fuzzy about the ti.
However, she was finally out!
“ng Qiqi!”
ng Qi had just barely out of the Apricot Forest when a scream exploded in her ears. Before she could react, Sikong Xing’s bright red figure had already pounced and hugged her tightly.
“ng Qiqi! Uuuuuu…” Sikong Xing rubbed her head on ng Qi’s shoulder, “You finally co out! You know, we were really scared to death by you!”
“Xingxing.” ng Qi smiled lightly and patted the girl’s back, “I’m back.”
“ng Qiqi…” Sikong Xing released ng Qi and began to assess her from top to bottom. After finally confirming that ng Qi was alright, she finally looked relieved.
“I’m really worried about you!” Sikong Xing whimpered. Her eyes were red. “We saw that you were almost swallowed to death by the giant black wave. It really scared us to death!”
“Huh?” ng Qi was stupefied, “You said…you saw ?”
“Yes, yes!” Sikong Xing nodded desperately, “We saw you and Ji Wujiong trapped together on the cliff. To save him, you refused to leave and almost got swallowed by the huge wave. Many people were worried to death, and everyone was desperate to find a way to save you!”
ng Qi was a little baffled. She looked over Sikong Xing’s shoulder. They were in the Apricot Forest now, and Ji Wujiong’s figure was long gone. Behind Sikong Xing, she saw not only Su Junmo, but also Xue Jinwen, who stood beside him with a smile.
“Sister Xue.” ng Qi looked at Xue Jinwen, “You…”
“I’m fine.” Xue Jinwen smiled, “In fact, I am very fine now.”
“That’s good.” ng Qi nodded. She didn’t know that Xue Jinwen’s ‘I’m very fine’ had a deeper aning, and didn’t just refer to the poison in her body. Next to Xue Jinwen, Chu Tianfeng and Qin Xiumo, whom she hadn’t seen in a long ti, also stood side by side.
ng Qi couldn’t help blinking in surprise. They were here too?!
Then, there was also Pei Mufeng, the young Pavilion Master of the Xingluo Pavilion. Pei Mufeng’s expression was still cold as usual, but he nodded slightly when eting ng Qi’s gaze.
“Pavilion Master Pei.” ng Qi also nodded back at him.
Behind these people was Xue Chengxuan.
ng Qi was stunned, and her gaze looked further…then she realized that the entire Apricot Forest was totally silent. Almost all the dical cultivators in the forest, most of them were strangers to her, were looking at her silently. Even the people on the twelve peaks, including the leaders and elders of large sects, also had their eyes on her.
ng Qi: “…”
What happened?!
…
