When I came, it was smooth, but when I went back, I didn't seem lucky.

Just when Ji Fan surfaced and just went ashore, he happened to meet two masters of the Qu family's lake guard.

Although the lotus seeds have been picked, after all, this East Lake is the most important industry of the Qu family, and someone still needs to take care of it here, after all, the lotus roots in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake are also quite valuable.

"What kind of dog thief, if you don't have the courage to eat the Demon Star Beast, you dare to come to my Qu family's territory to steal!"

"It's so boring!"

The two masters guarding the lake regarded Ji Fan as a thief who stole the lotus root, and as soon as they saw Ji Fan coming ashore, they brandished the machete in their hands and quickly rushed over.

The speed of the other two was very fast, and they had rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and the two long knives glowing with cold light, with a strong wind, slashed at Ji Fan's shoulders mercilessly.

Ji Fan didn't explain, and he couldn't explain it, he knew that the cultivation of ordinary lake guarding masters would not be too strong, so he was not afraid.

He leaned to the side, letting the two long knives slash along the tip of his nose and the back of his head, and then quickly turned sideways, taking two steps forward towards the two men.

He raised his arms horizontally and swept them towards the necks of the two of them.

The strong wind blew in their faces, and the other two were awe-inspiring in their hearts, secretly saying that this dog thief's cultivation was not weak, and he did not dare to slack off, and between the lightning and stone fire, his body leaned back at the same time, and he dodged the arm that swept towards him.

Ji Fan didn't want to make trouble, and he didn't want to fight with these two, so after passing between the two of them, he accelerated and ran without looking back.

"The dog thief is on the run!"

"There's a kind of truce!"

The two masters of the Qu family who guarded the lake were in hot pursuit.

Fortunately, Ji Fan's cultivation reached the seventh order of the Star Bone Realm, and his feet and leg bones were all imprinted with star patterns, which made his running speed increase a lot.

And the two cultivators of the Qu family are also at the sixth or seventh level of the Star Bone Realm, their speed is not slow, but it is difficult to catch up with Ji Fan for a while.

It is said that these two masters of the Qu family, who have entered middle age, have been cultivating for a longer time, their cultivation should be more stable, and their running speed should be faster, but this is not the case.

Ji Fan used the ancient prescription to improve his cultivation, but the medicinal soup of the ancient prescription would not only act on the muscles and bones, but also on the flesh and blood organs, which made the strength and strength of his body much higher than that of ordinary monks of the same level.

The body is stronger, and the running speed is naturally faster.

However, after all, Ji Fan's cultivation days are short, and his realm is not stable, he is faster, but he can't completely get rid of the two people of the Qu family.

He ran all the way back to Bailian City, and then jumped high from time to time, jumping over the wall and over the house, what made him helpless was that even so, he couldn't get rid of the master of the Qu family behind him as he wished.

His physical strength was weakening, and he couldn't hold on for too long, so in desperation, he had no choice but to climb over the courtyard wall of the Ji family's mansion and fall into the Ji family's mansion.

As he expected, the two members of the Qu family did not dare to break in.

But what made him depressed was that on the way to his stone house at a rapid pace, he encountered several Ji family guards patrolling the courtyard.

The Ji family guards naturally recognized Ji Fan, and they also seemed to shout respectfully, "Young Master Fan", although they were very strange why Young Master Fan was walking around in the courtyard in the middle of the night, and he was out of breath, but they didn't dare to stop Ji Fan and interrogate anything.

This Young Master Fan has been talked about by the Ji family recently, not only has his temperament changed greatly, as if he has changed a person, even Young Master Ji Ye dares to fight, and he has just obtained 1.5 million star coins, and he is no longer the original young master of waste materials.

......

Qu Ming and Qu Liang were standing under the tall courtyard wall of the Ji family's mansion at the moment, and they could only wipe their sweat helplessly.

The thief actually hid in the courtyard of the Ji family's mansion, which made them have nothing to do.

Everyone knows that the relationship between the Ji family and the Qu family is not good, and if they dare to break into the Ji family's mansion in the middle of the night, they are very likely to be killed on the spot.

"What now?"

Qu Liang asked with a depressed face, "Did you just let that thief go?"

"That thief broke into the courtyard of the Ji family's mansion, if he dared to run around, he would inevitably be discovered by the Ji family's guards, and there would be no good end. ”

Qu Ming is Qu Liang's younger brother, he has always been stable and has a high mind, after thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "If he doesn't move, he will still jump out of this neighborhood." I'm guarding here, you go back to your clan now, and find a few more masters in the clan. ”

"Good!"

Qu Liang, who looked similar to his brother, left immediately.

Bailian City is not very big, and it is not too far from the Ji family to the Qu family, Qu Liang quickly ran back to the Qu family, and coincidentally, he met his own young master Qu Yu.

"Qu Liang, if I'm not mistaken, you and Qu Ming should be on duty at East Lake tonight, why did you run back in such a hurry?"

Qu Yu, who was dressed in purple brocade, stopped Qu Liang, frowned and asked, "Could it be that something is wrong with East Lake?"

Qu Liang immediately told the thief about tonight.

"Oh?"

Qu Yu's white and pure face showed a look of suspicion, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You come with me first and draw the face of the thief." ”

When Qu Liang quickly completed the portrait, Qu Yu looked surprised and said, "If you are not wrong, this person must be Ji Fan of the Ji family!"

"Ji Fan, is the well-known young master of the Ji family's waste wood, the son of Ji Changfeng?"

Qu Liang hadn't seen Ji Fan before, but he had also heard of Ji Fan's name.

"Yes, that's him!"

Qu Yu nodded first, and then said in confusion: "This person's cultivation is very low, it is said that he is only a second-order Star Bone Realm, and it is absolutely impossible to escape from your hands." Besides, what is he doing in East Lake?"

"Impossible, that thief can never be the second order of the Star Bone Realm, at least it should be the sixth order of the Star Bone Realm. ”

Qu Liang is very sure of authenticity.

"Interesting, let's go, let's go see the head of the house first!"

Qu Yu suddenly thought that Ji Fan had recently bought a lot of stars in the Quji Medicinal Material Store, and his curiosity became stronger, so he rolled up the portrait and took Qu Liang to the depths of the Qu family's mansion.

......

Back in his stone house, Ji Fan tried his best to calm his mood, and then took out the token and jade box from his arms.

He hesitated for a moment, pried up a stone slab under the slate bed, dug a small hole, and then hid the jade box in it.

After covering the slate and cleaning the soil under the bed, he sat down on the slate bed with peace of mind and closed his eyes to breathe.

"Young Master Fan, the head of the family, please hurry over. ”

Ji Fan had just breathed a cup of tea when a shout came in from outside the house.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Fan opened the door and saw a burly Ji family guard.

"Just now, the head of the Qu family came over with a lot of people, and after they talked to the head of the family for a while, the head of the family asked me to invite you. ”

This master guard has been following Ji Changlie and is one of Ji Changlie's cronies.

"Hmm. ”

Ji Fan nodded, his expression was calm, but he was in trouble in his heart.

He could guess that he was recognized by the Qu family, and they came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Do you want to admit it?

If you don't admit it, you weren't captured alive at the scene after all, you just need to say that the Qu family is spewing blood.

If the Ji family's attitude is a little tougher, the Qu family can only leave helplessly.

But Ji Fan is very clear about his status in the Ji family, but he is afraid that Ji Changlie will not take too much care of himself.

If you admit it, how can you explain this trip to East Lake?

Entrusted by people to be loyal to people!

In any case, it must not be told the truth, Li Caihe confessed very seriously before leaving, the matter of the blood lotus cannot be known to others, at least this secret is resolutely not to be said.

Soon, Ji Fan was taken to a living room, and saw many strangers at the door, as well as many master guards of the Ji family.

He entered the living room and saw the two masters of the Qu family's lake guard, and knew that he had not guessed wrong.

"That's him!"

"Yes, this is the man!"

The moment Qu Ming and Qu Liang saw Ji Fan, they stretched out their fingers at the same time.

Ji Fan was already mentally prepared, so his face did not change a bit, and his eyes swept around the living room.

What surprised him a little was that Ji Yunyi and the hunchbacked old man were also here.

He also saw Qu Yu, who was silently standing behind a man in his forties.

The man in the prime of life is Qu Youwen, the head of the Qu family, this person just came to the Ji family a few days ago to mourn Ji Wanshan, and he has been to the Ji family many times before.

"Ji Fan, the Qu family said that you have been to East Lake tonight, but is there such a thing?"

Ji Changlie's eyes shone with a majestic face.

"I've been meditating and practicing in my own residence, and I haven't gone out tonight. ”

Ji Fan decided not to admit it first, to see if the Ji family would protect him.

"He lied!"

"We both saw that it was him, could we be wrong?"

Qu Ming and Qu Liang immediately criticized him.

"Ji Fan, I have asked the patrol guards in the mansion, and some people said that not long ago, I saw you walking around the courtyard in a hurry, but is there such a thing?"

Ji Changlie followed and asked again.

Hearing this question, Ji Fan already knew the attitude of the Ji family.

If the Ji family wants to protect themselves, they will not verify it at all, and even if they do, they will not announce the truth in public.

"There was a vision in the night sky before, and I was awakened and depressed, so I went for a walk in the yard. ”

Ji Fan gave a plausible explanation.

"Then you just said that you have been cultivating and have never gone out and walked?"

Ji Changlie continued to ask.

"When I say going out, I mean going out of our house. ”

Ji Fan calmly replied.

"Brother Changlie, I think the matter is very clear. ”

Qu Youwen, the head of the Qu family, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and he sneered: "Although the relationship between our two families is not very harmonious, there is no need to use any subterfuge to frame you. If our Qu family hadn't seen it clearly, I wouldn't have come here in the middle of the night. ”

Ji Changlie didn't make a sound, just looked at Ji Yunyi, who was drinking tea on the side.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to solve this problem, but since he has someone with a more noble status present, he can only observe what he says.

"Our Ji family has always been reasonable, if the clan really makes a mistake, we will never protect it. ”

Ji Yunyi put down the teacup in his hand and said with a light expression: "Your Qu family thinks that Ji Fan is not telling the truth, but I have a way to help you ask the truth." ”

"Young Master Yunyi is willing to help, naturally it couldn't be better. ”

Qu Youwen was quite polite to Ji Yunyi, he knew that this young man was from Hedong County. Peerless Star Soul
