The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 118: Reunion of Fellows
"Junior Brother Qingping!"

Above the Ji family's northern mansion, a handsome voice came from the sky, and Ji Xiaoshan, who was practicing sword, paused.

"This is... is it that Minghong and Sloppy Senior Brother came together?"

A smile appeared on his face, then he put away his sword and soared into the sky.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the two figures in the sky and said with a smile, "It's rare for you to come to Yanshan!"

"Why, you don't allow us to come to your Yanshan?" Wan Nianfeng said with a smile.

"Okay, okay! I didn't welcome the distinguished guest. It's my fault!" Ji Xiaoshan said helplessly.

"Look, Junior Brother Qingping is still being polite to us. It's just that he thinks we are late!" Sloppy Master also smiled, turned his head and looked at Wan Nianfeng teasingly.

Wan Nianfeng also looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said with a smile, "I will stand on Qingping's side here! He is obviously afraid that we will drink his good wine, so he just used words to squeeze us. Otherwise, why didn't he welcome us into his mansion to have a drink?"

"You guys!" Ji Xiaoshan shook his head helplessly, "You are always misinterpreting my meaning. This is not the place to talk, so let's go to my mansion and have a couple of drinks. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

They had a very good relationship with each other. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they made some harmless jokes. Ji Xiaoshan naturally felt helpless.

"Haha." Sloppy Master and Wan Nianfeng smiled at each other, then said, "All the disciples in the academy heard that Junior Brother Bei Ming killed a Taoist priest with the Wan Xiang Master realm, so they came to congratulate him. We have also been missing you, Master Qing Ping, for a long time. As soon as we arrived at Yanshan, all the disciples separated and came to find you, and went to Junior Brother Bei Ming's Winged Snake Lake together. How can such a grand event be without Master Qing Ping, who is famous in Anchan County?"

"The protagonist this time is Ji Ning, why would I go?" Ji Xiaoshan smiled and shook his head, then changed the subject, "But since two good friends have invited me, I will naturally go with them!"

Sloppy Master was startled, then he smiled, "Let's go! My Black and White Academy hasn't been this lively for a long time!"

Ji Xiaoshan also agreed.

"Okay! Then let's see who of us can reach Ji Ning's Winged Snake Lake first!"

Whoosh!
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Before he finished speaking, the three figures suddenly turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

……

"It's the clan brothers who are here! And Senior Brother Sloppy and Senior Brother Minghong!"

In Winged Snake Lake, on the island in the middle of the lake.

Ji Ning had just settled down all the disciples who came to visit him and had them all seated. Then he saw three streams of light streaking across the sky from the direction of the North Palace, swooping down towards his Winged Snake Lake. Ji Ning felt the aura of the three figures and his face lit up with joy.

"Hmm! This aura! It's Senior Brother Sloppy! And Senior Brothers Qingping and Minghong!"

"I sensed it, too! I didn't expect that Senior Brother Sloppy and the others actually invited Senior Brother Qingping here!"

"Senior Brother Qingping and Junior Brother Beiming are from the same clan, so they will naturally come to show their support."

……

All the disciples were very powerful. A few streaks of light were within their reach in an instant, so they naturally knew who was coming.

Wow!
Several streams of light stopped, and the one leading them was a young man in a green robe. They were Ji Xiaoshan and his two companions who came from the Ji family's Northern Palace.

"Senior Brother Qingping!"

"Sloppy Senior Brother!"

"Brother Minghong!"

All the disciples greeted him. Ever since Ji Xiaoshan killed a cultivator who had achieved perfect spiritual perfection, he has had a status similar to that of Sloppy Immortal among the three generations of disciples in the Black and White Academy.

But after all, the sloppy master and Ji Xiaoshan only fought in the Dao Hall when they were just starting to learn Dao. At that time, Ji Xiaoshan had just started to learn Dao, so naturally it didn't count. After that, the two of them never sparred again, and they had never formally fought, so it was difficult for the disciples to make a final conclusion about their strength.

There is no doubt that Ji Xiaoshan is very powerful. Among cultivators, the stronger one is, the stronger his status and voice will be, and he will naturally be respected by all his disciples.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you, fellow disciples!" Ji Xiaoshan smiled slightly. He looked around, and saw some disciples he knew, and some he didn't. Some looked familiar, and some were unfamiliar. He scanned the faces one by one, including Yu Wei, Cangjiang, Mu Zishuo, Xueying, and other fellow disciples from the Black and White Academy, and even Beishan Baiwei, whom he had met once.

Ji Xiaoshan nodded one by one, "Senior brothers, sisters, brothers, sisters, and Bai Wei, you don't have to worry about me and the sloppy brothers. Today we are here as guests at Ji Ning's Winged Snake Lake, so the owner of this place is naturally Ji Ning!"

Ji Xiaoshan then looked at Ji Ning and said teasingly, "Ji Ning, you have to take good care of us brothers and sisters!"

All the disciples smiled slightly when they heard this.

"This..." Ji Ning was also stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course."

After a long time, Ji Ning had been calling him "brother" all the time, and he almost forgot that this brother was his senior brother in the Black and White Academy. ...

At the same time, in the capital of Daxia, which is extremely far away from Yanshan Mountain.

The young man in green clothes with a faint smile on his face suddenly fell into deep thought, "Is this another test from the tribe? Wujiang Immortal Mansion? Tiantian Immortal Mansion is actually located in Anchan County? Anchan County is a bit remote. It is not suitable to complete this test in a big way, and it is impossible to mobilize manpower from the tribe. It is a bit tricky!"

The dark-skinned middle-aged man with narrow eyes standing nearby smiled, "Young Master, have you forgotten? Beishan Yin, a disciple of the Marquis of Anchan Mansion, seems to be a candidate for the next Marquis of Anchan now. He has come to the capital to pay a visit to you before. As one of the candidates for the Marquis of a Marquis Mansion, he must be a local boss in Anchan County. Tell him a little about your situation. I know that man is a sensible person and can provide some help."

"Beishan Yin from the Anchan Marquis' Mansion?" Shao Yannong thought for a moment, and then he recalled the tall and thin man in a black suit and a tall crown on his head. His extremely deep eyes still left some impression on him.

After all, he is Shao Yannong, one of the four famous young masters of the capital of Daxia. There are countless cultivators from various major forces who come to visit him every day. It is already very good if they can leave some impression on him.

"If Beishan Yin is the only heir to the Marquisate, it would be a bit of a stretch for him to provide assistance. The Wujiang Immortal Palace is, after all, an unexplored immortal residence. If we can get more help, we can save some effort." Shao Yannong turned to look at the dark and thin middle-aged man, "Uncle Fang, are there any immortal cultivators in Anchan County who have had interactions with us?"

"Hmm. It seems there is another one!" Xiang Liufang thought for a while before slowly uttering a name, "Yinglongwei Anchan County Branch, Dongshi Immortal!"

"Dongshi Immortal? I remember him." Shao Yannong nodded, a faint smile appearing on his face, a smile that showed everything was under control.

"Then let's notify these two people first and give them some hints. I believe they will do their job. Of course, if the help they provide is too little, we can go to Anchan County to find some immortal cultivators we can control. I am Young Master Yannong, and there should be no immortal cultivator who will not give me this face."

"Yes!" Xiang Liufang nodded in response. Although he was a demon god, he had been tamed for endless years and was assigned to closely protect Shao Yannong, so he had already learned to obey.

……

at the same time
A long shuttle was cutting through the sky, rushing from the distant Shangshui County to Yanshan in Anchan County...

"Wow! Jiulian is here too!" Ji Xiaoshan sensed from a very far distance that a long shuttle cut through the sky and flew directly towards the Winged Snake Lake. On top of the magic weapon was a beautiful woman in a water blue Taoist robe.

The long shuttle stopped and Jiulian, dressed in a light blue Taoist robe, flew out and put away the long shuttle with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Ji Ning and the others below also sensed the fluctuations in the air and looked up.

As soon as he saw Jiulian in the sky, Ji Ning showed joy and even stood up from the table.

"Junior Brother Bei Ming, it's just Junior Sister Jiulian who's here. I didn't see you so excited when we came!" Sloppy Master was stunned. He looked at Ji Ning, then at Jiulian in the air, blinked, and seemed to understand something.

Whoosh!
Jiulian flew down directly from the sky and landed on the island. She was also surprised, "Senior Brother Sloppy, Senior Brother Cangjiang, Senior Sister Yuwei, I haven't seen you for a long time! And Junior Brother Minghong and Junior Brother Qingping! And Junior Brother Zishuo!"

It has been quite some time since the group of people from the Black and White Academy came to visit the Winged Snake Lake in Yanshan. The rest were fellow disciples who stayed behind for various reasons. They had a great time chatting until now, waiting for Jiulian's arrival.

Yu Wei and Jiulian had always been close friends. She looked at Jiulian and said, "Junior Sister Jiulian, didn't you go back to the tribe? I haven't seen you for quite some time."

"I haven't seen my senior sister for quite some time, almost ten years now. Time flies." Jiulian said happily. She had been in Wanlian Cave for a long time, and she was always alone. She was naturally happy to see a group of familiar fellow disciples.

"Jiulian, I haven't seen you for nearly ten years. Master was talking about you a few days ago!" Sloppy Master put down the meat in his hand and looked at Jiulian with a smile. He and Jiulian both worshipped under the Five Crazy Immortals. If you count their relationship, they are real senior and junior brothers and sisters, and their relationship is closer.

“Stop talking.” Jiulian shook her head helplessly. “I was trapped in the Wanlian Cave by the tribe and couldn’t get out until a few days ago when I cracked the formation and got out. It took me a long time to fly from Shangshui County to Anchan County.”

"Trapped in Wanlian Cave by the tribe?" Sloppy Master and Yu Wei were both stunned. They knew something about Jiulian's background, but it was precisely because of this that they felt surprised.

Jiulian glanced at Ji Ning, who was a little embarrassed, and said helplessly, "It's all because of him!"

"Junior Brother Ji Ning?" Yu Wei was stunned.

The sloppy master standing aside suddenly understood something and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Jiulian, let's sit down together." Ji Ning walked forward and held Jiulian's hand, not knowing what to say. Jiulian had not seen their fellow disciples for several years, and he was the culprit.

“Junior brother, you guys…” Yu Wei was stunned when she saw Ji Ning and Jiulian in such a state.

"Junior sister Yu Wei, can't you see? I've been holding it in for a long time. Junior brother Bei Ming is a little strange when he sees Junior sister Jiu Lian." Sloppy Master also smiled and turned to look at Ji Ning and Jiu Lian. "You two are so close, you must have become Taoist couples! I don't know when this happened, but you are so tight-lipped."

"That's right!" Mu Zishuo was also indignant, "Senior Brother Ji Ning, you didn't even tell me that you had formed a Taoist couple!"

"I saw this with my own eyes, and I know it very clearly." Ji Xiaoshan, who was watching the excitement from the side, also had a teasing look on his face, "But I won't tell you, if you want to know, go ask Ji Ning and Jiulian!"

“Junior Brother Qingping, you…” Jiulian’s skin, as white as cream, instantly turned red. She opened her eyes wide and glared at Ji Xiaoshan, then looked at everyone, “This is a long story…”
