Chapter 7: A Chance Encounter at the New Year's Banquet

"See him, are you teasing me?"

Ji Cheng asked incredulously, "But you haven't said how you got in?"

Ji Ruochen picked up the unfinished tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"It was my father who gave me the token, saying that it was with my grandfather's consent. My master said that my grandfather had expectations for me. But..."

But... Seven years ago today, he ruthlessly kicked me out.

Ji Ruochen's gaze was in a trance, "So, I want to come back and ask him for clarification." ”

Ji Cheng was stunned, "Ruochen, so many years have passed." Is it necessary for you to ask just this simple question?"

"Hmm. ”

Ji Ruochen nodded without hesitation: "I will leave here one day." And I already feel that day getting closer. I want to at least let him ask him what he thinks of me while I'm still here!"

It's been seven years.

Ji Ruochen's eyes were confused.

He and that grandfather had been separated for seven years. For seven years, it was Aunt Mei who took care of him. It was the master who was teaching him martial arts. Ji Cheng Feng and Ji Cheng duel, at least they often come to see him.

But the grandfather was never seen again. Before the age of three, he still loved his grandfather very much.

"That senior of the Mo family also said something amazing!"

Ji Cheng smiled helplessly.

What he was referring to was naturally Ji Ruochen's master. It was the master who mysteriously appeared six years ago and taught Ji Ruochen a lot of things.

Ji Ruochen poured another cup of tea and drank it quietly, waiting for Ji Chengdu's answer.

"Okay, okay, I got it. ”

Ji Cheng smiled lightly, "Really, my eldest nephew will trouble me as soon as he comes back." I'll just help you. ”

"Really?"

A hint of joy flashed in Ji Ruochen's eyes.

"Of course!"

Ji Chengju looked at Ji Ruochen with a smile, "Your father is my best brother, although my strength is far from him, but he has always cherished his most cherished son, and I will take care of him as my son." ”

The relationship between Ji Cheng Feng and Ji Cheng is indeed extremely good. Since he was a child, Ji Chengdu's cultivation talent was not high, and he was often ridiculed by people from other families. It has always been Ji Chengfeng who has been protecting him, so even after knowing Ji Ruochen's identity and particularity, he has not changed in the slightest. Take care of him as always.

"Uh... Don't say that. ”

Ji Ruochen stammered, "I will understand that you want to soak my mother." ”

“......”

Ji Cheng Jue suddenly blushed to the base of his neck.

What does Ji Ruochen's mother look like, in fact, neither Ji Chengdu nor Ji Ruochen have seen it. However, according to Ji Cheng Feng and many people in the world who have seen her, she is the same existence as a goddess.

Noble and inviolable.

But this is worthy of Ji Cheng Feng. After all, it was the peerless genius who even crossed the Bright Moon Pavilion!

"Ahem, I don't mind if you and my brother allow it~"

Ji Cheng dug a haha, and after seeing Ji Ruochen's murderous eyes, he turned to say, "Since you took the initiative to come to me, I'm afraid that there is already a way to lure away the family master's personal guard." ”

When he asked this sentence, Ji Cheng Jue looked at Ji Ruochen's eyes and didn't let him make any moves!

The head of the family's personal guards are not easy to deal with, that is, a group of servants of the head of the family, who are inseparable from the head of the Ji family, not to protect him, but to be able to execute him immediately when he has any orders.

After all, the strength of the head of the Ji family is there, and there is no need for extra protection.

But even so, it is still the elite of the Ji family in the end. With their quality, pull one out and bring down thirty or forty Ji Ruochen without a meal. This also made it quite difficult for Ji Ruochen to talk to Ji Lingtian alone.

"Hmm. ”

Ji Ruochen nodded, this action was to tell Ji Cheng to decide, it was indeed as he expected.

Ji Ruochen has a lot of thoughts, ordinary people may not know. But Ji Cheng knew it.

At this time, he had already walked in front of Ji Ruochen and listened to Ji Ruochen's plan with a serious face.

...............................................................................................................

The Ji family's annual banquet is an annual event of the Ji family, and it can be regarded as the most lively time of the year for the Ji family. On this day, countless monks from the Ji family who were away from home, unless they were appointed by the family to do important things like Ji Chengfeng, would generally return to the Ji family for reunion. And some of the families and guests with foreign surnames will also participate in the New Year banquet of the Ji family. Send New Year's greetings and gifts to the Ji family. In fact, in the final analysis, it is to get along with the Ji family.

Although the Ji family is the supreme of the righteous path and disdains to do these things, the New Year's banquet and gift-giving is a custom that every family has, so the Ji family is not really refusal.

It was evening, and it was the time when the preparations for the Ji family's New Year banquet had not yet begun. Guests from all walks of life took their seats, and Ji Ruochen also sat in a very distinguished seat with Ji Chengfeng's token.

Young family seat!

This is the original location of Ji Cheng Kaede. It is located on the left side of the high platform near the head of the Ji family. Passing by are the rulers of various large and small families who come to visit. Next, are the elders of the Ji family.

This position, although most of the light was obscured by the position of Ji Lingtian, the head of the Ji family on the high platform. But anyone who knows how can see that this is a throne above ten thousand people under one person!

"Wow..."

Ning Ke'er sat beside Ji Ruochen, looking at all kinds of people standing around, and exclaimed in amazement.

This is an ancient palace of the Ji family, huge, the interior is not luxurious but very first family bearing, all kinds of patterns on the wall are cast with red gold, cold quenched silver, not only the appearance is noble, but it is incomparably powerful. Ji Ruochen knew that each of the magic circles launched by those Dao patterns was enough to annihilate a Nanning national capital!

When had Ning Ke'er ever been to such a place? These are all immortal cultivators. There are cultivation masters who are rare to see in Nanning Kingdom, and all of them are here, and they are all extremely powerful generation grandmasters!

"Ke'er, be quiet, someone is watching us. ”

Ji Ruochen pulled the corner of Ning Keer's clothes and said.

His eyes were on a few people. Like a prey wary of a hunter.

"Who are those people?"

Ning Ke'er followed Ji Ruochen's gaze and quickly saw those people. "They seem to be looking at you too, so fierce, Brother Ruochen, do you have a grudge against them?"

"Nope. ”

Ji Ruochen resolutely refused, "However, some of them and I have some causes and effects that are not clean. ”

Or those few people, haven't you let go after so many years?

Ji Ruochen frowned.

Those people were the guys who had been persecuted by his uncle Mo Bufan.

Not only them, but in fact, Mo Bufan's persecution has gone to the sea. In the battle of the Dark Domain, Mo Bufan killed tens of thousands of people, and how many of them were separated? He was really the devil of the world! If it weren't for the wise ones who accounted for a large part of those people, I was afraid that Ji Ruochen would have been annoyed to death if he hadn't been killed.

However, despite this, Ji Ruochen, who is also annoying to these few, is no longer good. He hadn't suffered much from them before he was three years old, so he still remembers.

Thinking of this, Ji Ruochen couldn't help but look up at the people on the high platform next to him.

The man was dressed in a blue and white robe, with fairy wind and bones, crane hair and a childish face, and looked like a very kind old man.

That person was none other than Ji Lingtian, who was now sitting in front of a sandalwood table with his eyes closed.

Everything around him didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

He is the head of the Ji family, and he holds Ji Lingtian, who is no less powerful than the Pope of the Western Continent!

Ji Ruochen's eyes flashed with gloom...

The figure was still familiar.

Once upon a time, how many of those guys' guns and arrows did grandpa block for him?

But after that day, there was no going back.

"Hey!

A very handsome short-haired guy in a white robe walked over and patted Ji Ruochen's shoulder.

"Huh, Brother Ling?"

Ji Ruochen came back to his senses, carefully distinguished for a long time, and recognized this person.

Isn't this person his childhood playmate, Ji Ling?

Although he was still very young at that time, it was almost Ji Ling playing with him. But what could be more pure than friendship back then?

He can also be regarded as one of the people Ji Ruochen misses the most in Nanning. It's just that it's been seven years, how can Ji Ling still recognize him at a glance?

"How do you know it's mine?"

Although Ji Ruochen was pleased, he still asked suspiciously.

"Well, I just got the guest list from an uncle and found your name written on the young master's seat. Come and take a look, I didn't expect it to be you!"

Ji Ling explained with a smile.

Ji Ruochen was relieved.

Ji Ling turned out to be the child of Ji Ruochen's servant. This time, some of the guest lists were also distributed to the next person, so it was not unusual for him to be discovered. This also explains why those people can still recognize him after seven years.

"Ruochen, this young lady won't be a brother and sister, it's so cute. ”

Ji Ling laughed.

Ning Ke'er's face turned red, but she didn't refute, and said gently, "My name is Ning Ke'er, I am the princess of Nanning Kingdom, and I am here with Brother Ruochen this time." ”

"Princess?"

Ji Ling was stunned, and then continued to make fun of Ji Ruochen, "Ruochen is good, and I came back with a princess." ”

Ji Ruochen helplessly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, took something from the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Poof..."

Ji Ling had been laughing just now, and her mouth had never closed, but this time she finally closed it in a strange way.

"You can't be gagged without eating. ”

Ji Ruochen looked at Ji Ling, who was stuffed with a mouth full of colorful pastries, and said speechlessly.

"Hee-hee..."

Ning Keer covered her mouth and laughed.

I don't know if it's Ji Ruochen's delusion. Today's Ning Keer seems to be much cuter than usual.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

After a while, Ji Ling finally choked and vomited to get rid of the pastry in her mouth.

"Okay, Ruochen, I'm good, I'm not guarded at all. ”

Ji Ling was not angry at all, but said with a smile.

"Brother Ling is not bad, at the age of twelve, in the middle stage of the second-order spiritual sense. ”

Ji Ruochen looked at the more and more people in the ancient hall and said absentmindedly.

"Damn... You can see that?"

Ji Ling looked at Ji Ruochen dumbfounded: "Ruochen, what rank are you?"

To be able to see through the level of cultivation at a glance must be much higher than his cultivation! But Ji Ruochen is two years younger than him! And he has not been in the Ji family for a long time, and the cultivation environment is simply not comparable!

"Secret!"

Ji Ruochen didn't answer, just smiled mysteriously.

He can see through that cultivation is still a little watery, although it is not so exaggerated, but he is indeed much stronger than Ji Ling.

After all, in the past six years, he has been working hard to be able to leave Ji Chengfeng independently.

While the two were talking, the guests seemed to be about to arrive.

Ji Ruochen smiled, gave Ji Ling a look, and motioned for him to talk again.

Ji Ling understood and nodded. Although he didn't ask about Ji Ruochen's strength, he could only look forward to the next meeting. And now is not the time to say that. He turned and walked to the next seat.

However, what neither Ji Ling nor Ji Ruochen expected was that the next time they met would not be long. At that time, the situation faced by the two was already chaos!

Qin Se and Ming, the New Year's banquet began.

Representatives of major families have come up with their own gifts ready to offer.
