Above all spirits

Chapter 66 Ji Family

The Human Realm. Canglan Star. The Imperial Capital of the Canglan Empire.

"Brother, big brother."

Gu Yun stopped walking towards the Ji family compound and asked.

"what happened?"

At this moment, he had already brought Bai Qing'er and Hongxiu with him to the Canglan Imperial Capital via the teleportation array, and was about to go to the Ji family to discuss further cooperation matters.

The ancient-style building in front of us, exuding a profound and mysterious aura, is the Ji Family Compound.

Although not as magnificent and dazzling as Zuixianju, the Ji Family Courtyard exudes an even greater aura. With its flying eaves, bracket sets, carved beams, and painted rafters, it presents a different kind of exquisite style, filled with ancient charm.

For Gu Yun, this trip to the Ji family was not simply about choosing sides on the surface; it was more about observing whether the Ji family was qualified to be his starting point on Canglan Star, or rather, in the human realm.

After all, the world as seen by Gu Yun is completely different from the world as seen by the Ji family.

"When you go in later, don't hold back your aura, the stronger the better."

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't say it outright, only pretending to be puzzled.

"Why would anyone dare to mess with me when you've already touted me as having reached the peak of the Holy Body?"

Ji Ning didn't dare look at Gu Yun, awkwardly scratched the back of her head, and said helplessly.

"Haha, big brother, you always were."

"The main problem is that the Ji family isn't very united. The young master of the Ji family hasn't been decided yet, and there are quite a few candidates, including myself."

Ji Ning paused for a moment, then continued.

"As for me, I have indeed been somewhat unproductive, taking on part-time jobs and traveling around. I was just recently working as a hired thug at Zuixianju, but because of this incident, I'm going to have to change jobs again."

"Although the Ji family is not hereditary, but..."

"After all, my father is the current head of the family and has a lot of say in the clan. In addition, I am outstanding in my own talent, so I am still the best candidate. But until this is decided, the controversy in the clan will not lessen."

"And by bringing you here this time, my contribution to the clan has greatly increased. I'm afraid some people might become desperate and do something rash."

"Furthermore, they all believe that even if a demon possesses the strength of a peak-level Holy Body, it shouldn't be used casually..."

Bai Qing'er looked puzzled upon hearing this.

"Brother Ji Ning, don't you want to be the young clan leader?"

Speaking of which, Bai Qing'er and Ji Ning have been getting along quite well these past two days.

After all, Bai Qing'er is a girl with a certain personality, plus her background.

It's hard not to be liked.

Ji Ning was no exception; after spending some time together, he would often buy Bai Qing'er all sorts of delicious food and fun toys.

He even once told Gu Yun that he wanted to keep Bai Qing'er in the Ji family as his adopted sister.

The benefits are guaranteed to be excellent.

Although it was a joke, even if Ji Ning agreed, most of the other members of the Ji family would probably be dissatisfied. This traditional family model often only values ​​the family bloodline.

Ji Ning's worried brows instantly relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face as she gently pinched Bai Qing'er's delicate cheek.

"What's so great about being the young clan leader? There's a ton of chores to do every day. It's nothing like the carefree life I have now."

"Do whatever you want!"

"I'll take you to the busiest street in Canglan Imperial Capital in a bit. There are so many more things to eat and do there than in little Lanyu City!"

"Really?!"

Bai Qing'er's eyes blinked as she turned to look at Gu Yun, as if seeking his consent.

Hongxiu snorted coldly.

"He has no ambition."

Ji Ning immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, at least in front of Qing'er, he could not show his embarrassment.

"Hehe, I'm already at the finish line, why should I strive for more? Let's talk about it when you catch up with me, haha!"

Hongxiu's veins bulged as she clenched her fist.

She swore.

Later.

If I get the chance, I'll definitely give him a good beating.

Gu Yun looked at Ji Ning, who had a playful expression on her face, and couldn't help but shake her head.

It seems that it will take some time before Ji Ning can become an ally.

However, I'm not worried that Ji Ning will fall behind because of this.

With such a mindset, one can break through to the sixth level of the Overlord at this age.

His talent is simply monstrous.

For prodigies, the importance of cultivation time is relatively reduced.

For them, awareness is even more important.

"Alright, alright, you finish choosing a cultivation method for Hongxiu first."

"You don't need to ask me where we're going next; Qing'er can go wherever she wants."

Ji Ning immediately bent down and waved a hand.

Bai Qing'er understood and stepped forward, slapping him on the shoulder with a sweet smile.

"Thank you, Brother Ji Ning."

Ji Ning felt a tingling sensation in her ears, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up as if coated with honey.

"Qing'er, what did you say? It was a bit windy just now."

Bai Qing'er didn't think much of it, assuming that Ji Ning hadn't heard her clearly, and slightly raised her voice.

"Thank you, Brother Ji Ning!"

Gu Yun patted Ji Ning's head to prevent Ji Ning's mouth from turning as wide as the sun, and said seriously.

"Stop playing around, lead the way, we'll go out and check on Qing'er later."

Ji Ning quickly took Bai Qing'er's chubby little hand and walked ahead of Gu Yun.

"Yes, big brother, you still don't trust me? With my status, more than half the people in the capital would have to bow their heads when they see me!"

The little shadowy figure, who sat on Gu Yun's shoulder every day watching live-action TV dramas, was quite happy.

"I like this kid's personality; he's not pretentious."

Gu Yun said no more and followed Ji Ning into the Ji family compound.

Ji Ning pointed out the direction to Gu Yun.

"That's the main hall over there. I bet everyone's waiting for you, bro. Don't play dumb. There's no need to do that here. Some people just need to be suppressed on the spot with overwhelming force!"

Then, holding Bai Qing'er's hand and leading Hongxiu, they walked towards the other side of the fork in the road.

The little dark figure continued to laugh.

"He's really not polite to his family."

Gu Yun was not surprised.

Living in such a family is no worse than living in royalty; it would be a lie to say there's no backstabbing and infighting within it.

I patted the little black figure.

"Don't show yourself, you're one of my trump cards too."

Since Werner and Gu Yun miraculously became symbiotic, they haven't fought again, but that doesn't mean he's just a talking shadow.

Werner's strength is linked to Gu Yun's strength, essentially a simplified version of "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones," but he can only transform into two pure ones, and there are limitations on range and time after leaving the body.

Another point.

Although Werner in the Shadow Form can replicate all of Gu Yun's panel skills, because he is an independent consciousness, even though he can use Gu Yun's skills, unfortunately the proficiency cannot be shared.

Therefore, their combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced by 60% to 70%, but they can still achieve a surprise attack.

The little black shadow shrank back defiantly.

"Damn it, drop the 'little' part and get it. You, Werner, are pretty tough!"

He ignored Werner's mutterings in his ear.

With a flash of golden light, Gu Yun disappeared from the spot.

Since we've decided to use force to intimidate others, let's see it through to the end.

Walking in would be considered undignified.
