Chapter 971 Undercurrent
"The contest between Ji Yue and Cai Chang..."
Xiao Yi muttered to himself, thinking of the scene when he met Cai Chang in the afternoon.
He didn't feel much hostility or hostility at the time, but this just shows that there is an undercurrent beneath the calm surface of the lake...
"If Cai Chang really defeats Miss Ji, it will probably have a far-reaching impact on his position as Valley Master in the future."
Yuan Wenbin emphasized.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi was stunned. He didn't expect that there would be something exciting to watch as soon as he arrived in Yaoshen Valley. It was an alchemy duel with quite a lot of tricks.
"So...I might have really disturbed Ji Yue."
Xiao Yi frowned.
"How could that be? I think Miss Ji is very happy about your arrival, but she just doesn't show it."
Yuan Wenbin chuckled.
"Some people in Yaoshen Valley are discussing privately that Miss Ji's fiancé has arrived."
"Oh?"
Xiao Yi also smiled.
"That did cause them to misunderstand. However, if her real fiancé also comes to Yaoshen Valley recently, it will be really lively."
"I feel that you and Miss Ji are a better match."
Yuan Wenbin said slowly.
"Old Yuan, why didn't I realize you're so good at talking before?"
"This... is the truth. Haha, they are a perfect match."
"Ha ha……"
The two laughed and drank tea and chatted.
evening.
Ji Yue personally invited Xiao Yi and the other person to a spacious banquet hall.
There are already quite a few people in the banquet hall.
Agent Yue introduced them as the elders of Yaoshen Valley.
"Mr. Xiao."
Ji Lingchun and several elders stood up to greet them.
"Elder Ji, fellow elders..."
Xiao Yi also responded.
As for the elders of the Cai family and the Ye family, although they were polite, they were not very enthusiastic, even though they had heard of Xiao Yi's name.
The elders of the Ji family were somewhat surprised at their attitude towards Xiao Yi. After all, they had no idea about some details in the Donghuang Dojo, and they didn't even know at the beginning that Ji Mingyuan asked Ji Yue and others to go to Donghuang Town.
Just then, Ji Mingyuan, together with Ye Xiurong, the head of the Ye family, and Cai Jinglun, the head of the Cai family, came forward.
"Valley Master."
The elders stood up and greeted him.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao."
Ji Mingyuan responded with a smile and introduced each other.
After some greetings, everyone sat down again.
"Mr. Xiao's name has become well-known recently."
During the meal, Cai Jinglun spoke first and seemed to admire Xiao Yi very much.
"Master Cai, you are too kind. In fact, most of the time, it is just forcing people to do something. It doesn't count."
Xiao Yi said modestly while also observing Cai Jinglun.
Now that he had heard some information, he was of course more curious about the Cai family than the Ye family.
"Mr. Xiao, you are too modest. Looking at the geniuses under the age of thirty in the entire ancient martial arts world, I am afraid that no one can be compared with you."
Ye Xiurong also echoed.
"No, it's just on the surface. A true genius would not bother to be on the genius list.
For example, Brother Yuan next to me has reached the fifth-grade martial god realm in his thirties, but almost no one in the ancient martial arts world knows of his existence, so my achievements are not worth mentioning. "
Xiao Yi said this and looked at Yuan Wenbin.
Yuan Wenbin was stunned. Why did they push him out?
Hearing this, the expressions of Ji Mingyuan and the others all changed. They were not so powerful!
"It's rare for someone to reach such a high level at such a young age and still be so low-key."
Ji Mingyuan's eyes were full of admiration as he raised his wine glass.
"Come, welcome Mr. Xiao to my Medicine God Valley."
"Welcome Mr. Xiao."
Cai Jinglun and others also raised their glasses.
"Thank you."
Xiao Yi thanked him and drank the glass in one gulp.
Ji Yue secretly glanced at Xiao Yi, and felt even more strange in her heart.
Cai Chang, who sat at the same table with Ji Yue, was already feeling a little uncomfortable. When he noticed the subtle changes in Ji Yue, he had some more thoughts.
Afterwards, everyone ate and talked, mostly about the trip to Donghuang Town.
"Mr. Xiao, have you considered the consequences of killing Wei Zhen from the Scarlet Sky Pavilion?"
Tsai Ching-lun’s questions were quite sharp.
"Consequences? My ancestor and Tiandao Palace Elder Pang Hua both advised against it, but I don't want to leave any consequences!
The people I kill are those who deserve to be killed, and I will not hesitate, even if it is the Chixiao Pavilion."
Xiao Yi's tone was quite indifferent.
"What about Shadow Tower? What if they unite on this matter? What will you do?"
Ye Xiurong asked.
"If the enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. It's no big deal."
Xiao Yi remained calm.
Cai Jinglun and the others looked at each other. This kid really is fearless, right?
Also, what if I come to Yaoshen Valley at this critical moment and get into big trouble?
He mentioned this matter to Ji Mingyuan, but the latter did not show much reaction.
Ji Mingyuan, on the other hand, remained calm. Compared to Cai Jinglun and the others, he knew more details about the dojo, but he did not say much to others.
Two hours later, the banquet ended.
"Yueyue, you take Mr. Xiao first, I'll be there soon."
Ji Mingyuan Road.
"Yes, father."
Ji Yue nodded.
Xiao Yi didn't say much. After saying hello, he went out with Ji Yue.
"I understand your concerns."
Ji Mingyuan glanced around, his awe-inspiring presence evident without him getting angry.
Some elders lowered their heads slightly when they were touched by his sharp gaze.
"If anything does happen, I will take full responsibility."
After Ji Mingyuan finished speaking, he stood up and left the banquet hall.
Behind him, people were whispering, with complicated expressions.
"Father, could it be that Xiao Yi is Ji Yue's fiancé?"
Cai Chang asked in a low voice.
"It shouldn't be. As far as I know, Ji Yue only met Xiao Yi by chance in Donghuang Town. But no one has ever seen the marriage certificate of the Ji family..."
Cai Jinglun frowned.
"I hope that marriage certificate will never appear, and that so-called fiancé is dead!"
Cai Chang said in a deep voice.
"Chang'er, I know you have feelings for Ji Yue, but you have to understand that your first priority is to surpass her in alchemy!
From now on, my Cai family will take the position of the master of Yaoshen Valley, and you can achieve whatever you want! Including Ji Yue!"
Cai Jinglun said seriously.
"I see!"
Cai Chang nodded.
……
"Patriarch Cai brought Cai Chang to the banquet, why is Patriarch Ye alone?"
Xiao Yi said casually.
"Uncle Ye's eldest son, Ye Yuan, used to be the one with the strongest talent in alchemy among Cai Chang and I. A few years ago, he suffered a severe backlash from alchemy and injured his soul. After that, let alone alchemy, he even had difficulty living a normal life."
Ji Yue felt sorry.
"You are from Yao Shen Valley, is there nothing you can do?"
Xiao Yi was puzzled.
"There is a way, but I dare not try it easily... The key point is his own strength! Only if he can improve his strength can he heal his own injuries and withstand the power of the elixir. The most contradictory thing is that he cannot improve his strength at the moment.
Uncle Ye has been thinking of various ways over the years, including changing the direction of alchemy, so the Cai family..."
Ji Yue paused. Did she say too much?
