Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 504: Chapter 239: Righteous Cultivator!

Qingfeng Island.

Kong Xifeng had already stood up, but upon seeing the situation outside, she sat down again.

Indeed, when Ji Yuan just arrived near this Ancestral Hall, she had already seen it, and upon seeing the one behind him... Kong Xifeng knew immediately what was going on.

That kid was targeted by Shang Court, and he knew he was targeted, so he came here to ask for rescue.

Should she save him?

Of course, he should be saved. If this kid dies right in front of her... Kong Xifeng feels that there’s no need for Shangxi’s Demon Dao; just Hua Yaoyue alone would be enough to destroy the whole Water Dragon Sect.

So, no matter what, he should be saved.

But just as Kong Xifeng was about to intervene, she realized that the kid was fine.

Not only was he okay, but it seemed to make that old demon Qu hesitated.

The two of them were transmitting their voices.

The kid said something unknown, which made that old demon Qu hesitate.

Kong Xifeng saw the situation and immediately understood... the kid had a way to hold the old demon Qu in check; he came here only out of concern that this old demon Qu might act desperately, so he sought her for precaution.

’Heh, so cunning at such a young age.’

Kong Xifeng sneered in her heart, also becoming curious about what the two of them were talking about.

”What Mei Manor? Junior Brother Ji, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

The voice full of doubt from the Isle Master of Cloud Mist echoed in Ji Yuan’s mind.

But Ji Yuan?

At the moment when the person before him attempted mind control, Ji Yuan was already able to determine that the person must be a reincarnated Shang Court monster!

Not to mention his unheard-of ability to hypnotize the Divine Soul.

Let alone, upon hearing the words ”Mei Manor,” she immediately stopped her actions.

Ji Yuan chuckled and stopped transmitting his voice.

”Senior Mei said Situ Feng is untrustworthy and should be eliminated as soon as possible.”

Who is Situ Feng?

He is the Shang Court monster that has taken over Feng Yichen.

How did Ji Yuan know?

Of course, Han Feiyu told him.

Why did Ji Yuan dare to propose eliminating Situ Feng?

Because Shang Court people... have always fought internally.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Isle Master of Cloud Mist immediately stepped forward, and when transmitting his voice again, it was no longer the Isle Master’s voice but a hoarse... male voice.

”Really?! Manor Master Mei really said that?”

...No, buddy, you are a damn man, and you took over a young Female Cultivator?

What the hell kind of fetish is this?

Ji Yuan was somewhat stunned for a moment, leaving him speechless.

But his moment of silence also made the old demon Qu who had taken over the Isle Master realize, ”Are you really one of Shang Court’s people?”

”Indeed.”

Ji Yuan said calmly and composedly.

He also learned another title for Mei Manor... Manor Master Mei.

So he owns a manor called Mei Manor?

”You say so, and it’s true?”

The old demon Qu stared at the person before him and asked.

Ji Yuan wasn’t intimidated, rather he sized up the Isle Master in front of him, retreated a step, slightly cupped his hands, then said:

”Manor Master Mei is the sworn brother of Shang Court’s Saint Master. Since Manor Master Mei is willing to accept me, I feel qualified to enter Shang Court’s gate. What do you think, senior?”

The old demon Qu remained silent.

The matter of Mei Manor being the Saint Master’s brother was known by quite a few in Shang Court.

But under the current heavens, few know it now. Yet this person could say out... The old demon Qu was a bit suspicious.

Pretty much just doubtful, but no concrete evidence.

Which left even this old demon, having lived for thousands of years, somewhat... hesitant?

”Where did you see Manor Master Mei?”

”Mirror Lake.”

”What does he look like?”

”Dressed in a white robe, with jade at his waist, young and handsome, gallant and suave.”

”...”

The old demon Qu was silent for a moment, ”One last question, why did he accept you into Shang Court?”

Mei Manor has always been solitary; in former years, when Shang Court’s internal strife began, he traveled far overseas, away from worldly affairs, except for the disciple he accepted, there’s no one else around him.

Upon hearing this question, Ji Yuan’s expression became somewhat unpleasant, and he fell silent.

The old demon Qu saw his reaction and chuckled.

That’s more like it.

How could you enter Mei Manor’s favor without some sacrifice?

”Junior here gave... all.”

Ji Yuan couldn’t speak much, leaving it to the old demon Qu to ponder himself.

With those words, the old demon Qu believed him... by thirty percent.

Impossible to fully believe, even half belief isn’t feasible.

Moreover, even if Ji Yuan truly joined Shang Court, must he then believe him thoroughly?

Impossible.

Giving a thirty percent trust, to an old demon like the Qu who had died once, already counted as regarding him as one of their own.

”Alright, since you’re one of Shang Court, you’re one of us.”

The old demon Qu visibly relaxed, ”Earlier, Manor Master Mei asked me to capture you alive, I didn’t expect him to act himself, which saves me quite a lot.”

”Heh Heh.”

Ji Yuan forced a few laughs.

The old demon Qu then shifted his tone, ”You just said, Manor Master Mei said Situ Feng is untrustworthy and should be eliminated?!”

”Yes.”

Ji Yuan nodded but hesitated again.

”Speak up, what are you hesitating for!”

The old demon Qu urged.

”It seems Manor Master Mei hasn’t made up his mind because after saying that, he mentioned it needs longer consideration, just asked me to watch him at Water Dragon Sect.”

While saying this, Ji Yuan’s voice was a bit stuck.

As though uncertain about Manor Master Mei’s thoughts.

”No worries, no worries, as long as Manor Master Mei has this intention, it’s fine.”

The old demon Qu looked approvingly at Ji Yuan, then said, ”Since we are one family, things would be easier, remember to reply next time when transmitted.”
