Chapter 21 Brother and Sister
In front of the door
Ji Ming was slightly speechless. Although he hadn't come often, it wasn't the first time they had met. It was as if they had just met.
Little did Fu Bo know that he was truly impressed by Ji Ming, never expecting that the previously unremarkable child possessed such amazing potential.
"Hello, Grandpa Fu!"
Despite feeling strange, Ji Ming still greeted him earnestly.
Grandfather Ji Shanhai had three sons and three daughters. Father Ji Yong was the fifth child. All six children, except for his second aunt and father, were highly talented and were all second-tier mages.
This is quite a rare thing. One's destined profession is a matter of chance. Apart from the descendants of those extremely powerful individuals, other people's destiny is actually not greatly influenced by the previous generation.
The Ji family only has one third-tier expert, Ji Shanhai. Next is Fu Bo, who is the strongest. My father said that he is a second-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator. When Ji Shanhai was a centurion in the Demon Suppression Army, Fu Bo was his squad leader. After retiring, he continued to follow him.
In the Ji family, no one really treats Uncle Fu as a butler; they treat him with great respect. Ji Yong's generation calls him Uncle Fu, while Ji Ming's generation calls him Grandpa Fu.
With Fu Bo's guidance, Ji Ming and his two companions arrived safely at the back garden. All the other uncles and elders had arrived, but their family, living in a different city, was the last to arrive.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother's wife, A-Ming, you've finally arrived?"
A square-faced man walked over happily, greeted him first, and then looked at Ji Ming with curiosity and shock.
"Hello, elder brother!"
"Uncle!"
Ji Ming responded, saying that his eldest uncle, Ji Hongzhen, was the head of the Ji family in this generation, and that his grandfather, Ji Shanhai, often went into seclusion for months or even a year, and rarely paid attention to such mundane matters anymore.
"Ah Ming, you've done something amazing this time, truly remarkable!" Ji Hongzhen exclaimed.
"Thanks to your donation of a box of Spirit Refining Potion," Ji Ming said with a smile.
"Hey, what's a box of spirit-refining potions? It's all thanks to your hard work and talent." Ji Hongzhen waved his hand.
Ji Ming smiled and didn't say anything more. He would keep his gratitude in his heart. That box of spirit-refining potion was really crucial. Without it, although he could still achieve good results, it would be difficult to achieve such amazing results.
"Fifth brother, how are you?"
The remaining relatives also came over to say hello, but they all couldn't help glancing at Ji Ming.
By this time, even those who didn't pay much attention to the situation in Shirakawa City had already heard the news. After all, it was a genius who had surpassed several extraordinary talents to take second place in the city. Apart from the old man, the Ji family didn't have a single person with extraordinary talent!
Moreover, many of their martial arts friends have high hopes for Ji Ming, guessing that his Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong is at least level 6. If it weren't for the tight time before the college entrance examination, he might be able to compete with Gu Yi in the future.
In the three cities of Hanyue, Gu Yi's name was already widely known. He was a super genius who had the opportunity to take the Star Palace exam. Their small place hadn't produced such a talent for many years.
Therefore, without Ji Ming's knowledge, his fame had already soared and spread throughout the high-end circles of the three cities of Hanyue.
Of all those present, only the second aunt, Ji Hong, was in the most awkward position. She didn't know whether to come over or not, and she was caught in a dilemma, her face turning red with anxiety.
Especially when she thought about how she had gone over to show off yesterday, she felt like she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Ha ha!"
Chen Yue, the mother, suddenly chuckled twice, and the gloom in her heart suddenly dissipated. Even the thought of going over to show off that she had planned to do last night faded away.
"Ha ha!"
Other relatives also knew about the relationship between the two families, and they had all been teased by Ji Hong showing off her baby, so they immediately laughed.
On the top floor of a pavilion, several teenagers stood, with a perfect view of the back garden.
"Brother Lang, I heard that Brother Ming scored 970 points this time. How could he score so much higher than you? The assessment methods in Shirakawa City are different from ours, right?"
A girl who looked a few years younger blinked her big eyes and asked innocently while playing with her pigtails.
The other boys smiled knowingly and all looked at Ji Lang, wanting to know what he would say.
Ji Lang held his breath and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "They're the same!"
"what?"
The girl exclaimed in surprise, "Does this mean my brother is much more capable than Brother Lang?"
"Ah! That's not what I meant!"
"I meant Lang-gege is amazing, but Ming-gege seems even more amazing!"
"No, no! Brother Lang is already very good, let's not compare him to Brother Ming, okay?"
All the boys stared in disbelief, completely dumbfounded as they watched the girl's performance.
Ji Lang's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. A young man hurriedly said, "Ji Ming hasn't broken through to the Jade Purity Realm yet, so it's hard to say."
Upon hearing this, Ji Lang's eyes lit up. That's right, there's no such thing as a sure thing when it comes to breaking through to a higher realm. If Ji Ming fails to break through, he'll end up only being able to go to the academy, which is no different from what he did!
and……
What if he breaks through and becomes a second-tier mage?
Thinking of this, Ji Lang felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his mood, which had been suffocating since yesterday, suddenly improved.
Hmph, all that bragging is nothing compared to my level 1 mage. I'm a mage, so who knows who will win in a real fight!
"But everyone says my brother can break through. My classmate's grandfather is the president of the Martial Arts Association, and he said so!" the girl retorted defiantly.
Ji Lang's smile froze, and he quickly pushed everyone away, saying, "I have something to do, I'm leaving now."
After Ji Lang left, a tall young man asked with a complicated expression, "Little sister, do you have a grudge against Ji Lang?"
The girl looked up innocently. "No, even though Brother Lang always looks down on people, my second aunt always comes to visit, and my homework has increased tenfold, I don't take it to heart."
The tall young man paused, then suddenly understood a bit more – this was a blood feud!
……
noon
Uncle Fu suddenly walked over. "Master is back. He has instructed you to start the banquet first. Young Master Ming, come with me for a moment."
"Go quickly!" Ji Yong's face flashed with excitement as he urged them on. The other uncles also showed envy, clearly knowing something.
Ji Ming stood up and followed Fu Bo to a pavilion.
On the way, Uncle Fu suddenly spoke up, "Young Master Ming, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"Grandpa Fu, just call me A-Ming. What's the matter?" Ji Ming said with a slight smile.
"good!"
Uncle Fu nodded, his tone becoming even gentler. "Aming, I know you may have some resentment in your heart. Over the years, the master has indeed neglected you and failed to discover your potential."
Ji Ming shook his head, knowing what Uncle Fu meant.
Resentment?
Actually, there wasn't any. Before he awakened his [Identity Card], what potential did he have?
The form of the Star King?
He wasn't that strong before he acquired the "Stellar Transformation" trait, otherwise his performance wouldn't have remained in the middle range.
The Ji family is a family of mages, so it's understandable that they don't value him as a martial artist; there's nothing wrong with that.
However, he is not a saint. He may not harbor resentment, but he is certainly unhappy.
On the way here, his father, Ji Yong, noticed it too, so he gave him a special explanation.
Although my dad was somewhat insecure and sensitive because of his talent, so he moved to Shirakawa City, his family actually benefited from my grandfather's connections. "Tianhong Research Institute" and Shirakawa City First Hospital are both benchmark enterprises in the city. Without connections, it wouldn't be so easy to get in.
No matter how far they go, they are still a member of the Ji family, and others will know that a third-tier archmage stands behind them. The benefits of being invisible are numerous.
He did receive very little support from the Ji family, but they didn't contribute to the family either. Unlike his uncles, who had been helping to manage the business, Ji Yong had essentially separated from the family long ago.
So there's nothing to complain about, let alone hate.
Moreover, the Ji family has a good environment. Apart from the second aunt's love of showing off, while the brothers are not exactly friendly and respectful, there is no such thing as looking down on others. Ji Ming's breakthrough with the spirit-tempering potion was even supported by his eldest uncle.
