"Old bastard~!"
After being scolded for no reason, Ji Baye curled his lips, "His temper is getting worse and worse. Is he going through menopause?!"
However.
Looking at his father's exasperated appearance, it didn't seem like he had designs on Martial Aunt Luo.
That makes sense too.
With Martial Aunt Luo's 'keep away' attitude before sealing herself in the coffin, who in the entire Three Pure Immortal Sect would dare to have designs on her?
Moreover, it was said that most of the current generation's Vein Seats and Elders in Three Pure Immortal Sect had been beaten by Martial Aunt Luo. Could it be that Father was among them?
If that were the case.
Ji Baye touched his chin in thought, "Could it be that after being beaten by Martial Aunt Luo, Father harbored a grudge, and now plans to steal her disciple while she's sealed away?"
"This way, he could cut off the last inheritance of Spirit Turtle Peak and really anger Martial Aunt Luo."
Bah~
Old thief with white hair, shameless villain!
I, Ji Baye, am an upright, loyal, and righteous hero. How could I associate with the likes of you!
Well!
Actually, being upright was just an excuse. Ji Baye was mainly afraid.
His eyes now shone with wisdom. Although rumors outside said Luo Binglan had been severely injured on Demon-Surrounded Island and buried herself in the back mountain of the Divination Vein to sleep.
But a starved camel is still bigger than a horse, and even a fallen phoenix can still kill a chicken!
With Father's level of cultivation?
If he really angered a Manifesting Saint stage Martial Aunt Luo and she burst out of her grave.
Ji Baye raised his right fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and compared it with his left pinky, pounding them together.
Hiss~
Ji Baye shuddered, "Can't get involved. Absolutely cannot get involved in this. Might get beaten to death. If Father wants to court death, I won't accompany him!"
But the old man's mission couldn't be ignored!
The old bastard was stingy when giving money but really went all out when beating his sons!
At least.
Ji Baye, currently only at the ninth layer of the Nascent Soul stage, knew he couldn't beat his father. He needed to endure for a few more centuries.
Got it~!
Ji Baye had a flash of inspiration. He took down the communication token at his waist and formed a hand seal, "Hey~! Thirteenth Brother? I have a task that needs your help."
"No, no, this time I definitely won't scam you!"
"We're blood brothers, full brothers from the same parents! Among ninety-something brothers and sisters, besides Ninety-Ninth Sister, you're the one I care about most. How could I scam you!"
"Alright, alright!"
"Last time really was my mistake. This time I'll pay. How about I pay this time? Thirty thousand Spirit Stones. Help me cover for a few days. It's just a simple little task."
"There's a true transmission disciple from another vein who wants to learn thunder techniques. Father told me to teach him the basics first. I'm out on a mission and don't have time!"
"So I have to trouble my dear brother!"
...
Ji Thirteen.
The thirteenth son of the Thunder Vein's Ji family, cultivation at the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul stage.
Because he had so many children, naming them was too troublesome. So for sons after the fifth one, Ji Yan just numbered them directly.
After the sons grew up, they could choose their own names. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
"Eighth Brother is such a cheapskate, always a tight-fisted iron rooster," Ji Thirteen touched his chin, mumbling to himself, "This time he's actually willing to spend money to ask me for help?"
There's a trap!
This matter is fishy. There must be a trap!
The wise Ji Thirteen's eyes burned with intensity, "Eighth Brother is definitely hiding something. This trap can't be jumped. Absolutely can't be jumped!"
But.
A full thirty thousand Spirit Stones—that's a lot from Eighth Brother!
Got it!
Suddenly, Ji Thirteen had an inspiration.
He took out his communication token and formed a hand seal, "Hey~! Is this Twenty-First Brother? Let me tell you, I have a great opportunity here. Easy money."
"What kind of talk is that?"
"We're blood brothers, brothers living in the same courtyard! Among ninety-something brothers and sisters, besides Ninety-Ninth Sister, you're the one I care about most. How could I scam you!"
"Alright, alright!"
"Last time really was Brother's mistake. This time I'll pay. How about I pay this time? Twenty thousand Spirit Stones. Help me cover for a few days. It's just a simple little task."
"There's a true transmission disciple who wants to learn thunder techniques. Eighth Brother told me to teach him the basics first. I'm out on a mission and don't have time!"
"So I have to trouble my dear brother!"
...
...
...
Half an hour later.
Thunder Roaring Peak, Heavenly Tribulation Valley, before the Wind Thunder Tower.
A silver sword light shot forth, transforming into a man wearing silver robes.
Ji Jinglei!
The ninety-eighth son of the Ji family, also Ji Zidian's youngest older brother. After him, there was only younger brother Ji One Hundred.
At only twenty-three years old, Ji Jinglei's cultivation had already reached the first layer of the Core Formation stage.
Although he couldn't compare to his phenomenally talented sister, among all the disciples of Three Pure Immortal Sect, he was considered in the upper ranks.
"Struck gold, struck gold!"
Ji Jinglei's face was full of joy as he mumbled, "Eighty-Eighth Brother is so generous. Just covering a few days of lessons for him—it's all in the family, should be expected. Why give money?!"
One thousand Spirit Stones.
Although not a huge sum for Ji Jinglei, the money came so easily!
Going down the mountain to complete missions, traveling thousands of miles, exhausting journey, then risking life and death fighting Core Formation stage demons, finally earning one thousand Spirit Stones after surviving nine deaths.
Compared to picking up one thousand Spirit Stones while walking on the road—the joy was completely incomparable.
In Ji Jinglei's view.
The one thousand Spirit Stones given by Eighty-Eighth Brother was basically like finding money on the street.
This task?
Isn't it just that Eighty-First Brother took a fancy to some new junior sister and wanted to teach her thunder techniques, but happened to be going down the mountain for a mission, so he asked Eighty-Eighth Brother to substitute?
And Eighty-Eighth Brother happened to also be on a mission, so he asked me to step in and teach some basics first!
Simple~!
Ji Jinglei curled his lips. Teaching a junior sister basic thunder techniques—why would that require payment?
Hehe~
If this junior sister were pretty, he'd do it for free!
Thinking of this.
Ji Jinglei transformed into a stream of light, leaping into the seventh floor of the Wind Thunder Tower, happily beginning to wait.
...
Time passed minute by minute.
Just as Ji Jinglei was eagerly awaiting the junior sister he had never met, a figure finally appeared on the seventh floor of the Wind Thunder Tower.
Whew~
Looking at Ji Jinglei standing before him with his hands behind his back, looking dignified and imposing, Wang Xiu took a deep breath, his eyes also unable to hide his anticipation.
Although he couldn't immediately receive guidance from Martial Uncle Ji Yan, since this martial brother before him had earned Martial Uncle Ji's praise as 'the best teacher,' he must be a peerless genius proficient in thunder techniques.
His cultivation.
Surely couldn't be below the Nascent Soul stage!
Otherwise, wouldn't that be throwing Martial Uncle Ji Yan's face on the ground and stomping it flat?
Nascent Soul stage.
If he could brag him up, it would definitely be satisfying!
Thinking of this.
Wang Xiu respectfully bowed and said, "Spirit Turtle Peak disciple Wang Xiu greets Martial Brother. May I ask how Martial Brother should be addressed?"
What~
What~
What!!!
Spirit Turtle Peak?
Divination Vein???
After hearing Wang Xiu's self-introduction, Ji Jinglei was completely dumbfounded.
In his mind.

It was as if a thunderbolt had crashed down. His already somewhat limited brain capacity went completely blank on the spot.
What happened to the junior sister?!
