Chapter 1280 - 1280 Who Can You Blame?
1280 Who Can You Blame?
Elder Ji Yuan had been beaten up by Chuge and Muyu previously. His body was still in pain, and the bruises on his face had yet to completely disappear. Therefore, he had been hiding in his room these few days, thinking about how to teach Xue Fanxin a lesson. It would be best to get rid of this person.
It was not the best, but he had to get rid of her. In short, he would not let Xue Fanxin live for long.
However, it was indeed not easy to silently get rid of someone under Chuge and Muyu’s noses, so he had to think about it carefully and think of a foolproof plan.
Without a foolproof plan, it was best not to attack easily. Once he provoked the Nine Nether Holy Land, the one who would die would be him.
If Xue Fanxin died in the New Students Secret Realm trial, no one would blame him…
Just as Elder Ji Yuan was plotting how to make Xue Fanxin die in the trial mystic realm, there was suddenly a loud bang. Before he could react, a powerful bolt of lightning struck his roof, piercing a huge hole in it and striking him.
“Ah…”
Elder Ji Yuan’s tragic cry spread throughout the entire Spirit Peak, especially in the courtyard he was in. Everyone around him heard his tragic cry and ran over to see what was going on. Some even saw with their own eyes that the lightning struck Elder Ji Yuan’s roof.
After arriving at the event location, everyone saw Elder Ji Yuan lying on the ground smoking and cramping. There were still residual lightning on his body.
The truth was obvious. Elder Ji Yuan had been struck by lightning.
Being struck by lightning for no reason was really a little mysterious.
When Feng Xianyao heard the commotion here, she also ran over to take a look. When she saw Elder Ji Yuan, who had been struck by lightning, for some reason, she immediately thought of Xue Fanxin and what had happened today.
Could it be that Elder Ji Yuan being struck by lightning had something to do with Xue Fanxin?
How was this possible?
With Elder Ji Yuan’s strength, he was definitely not injured by ordinary lightning. Looking at Elder Ji Yuan’s current tragic state, it was impossible for Xue Fanxin to create that lightning.
If not for Xue Fanxin, could he have really been struck by lightning?
Although Xue Fanxin had not seen Elder Ji Yuan being struck by lightning with her own eyes, from the commotion, she could guess how tragic Elder Ji Yuan was. In the end, he would definitely be crippled even if he did not die.
This Seventh Senior Brother was really not to be trifled with. He struck just like that. He was too terrifying.
“Little girl, that Elder Ji Yuan is not dead yet. Do you want to strike again?” Zhu Qiye seemed to be addicted to playing. In his opinion, striking Elder Ji Yuan to death was not a big deal at all. It was just a casual game.
Only then did Xue Fanxin realize how terrifying Zhu Qiye was. He was playing with human lives. Although Elder Ji Yuan deserved to die, it was still a life. How could he play just like that?
Zhu Qiye saw that Xue Fanxin’s face was a little pale and there was some fear in her eyes. Without asking, he knew that she was frightened. This made him a little anxious, and he quickly explained, “Little girl, Seventh Senior Brother didn’t mean to scare you. Didn’t you say that you wanted to strike that Elder Ji Yuan? Seventh Senior Brother also did as you said. How did I scare you instead?”
You were the one who said that you wanted to strike, but in the end, I struck. You were so frightened. Who can you blame?
If Little Jiu found out that he had frightened this girl, would he beat him up?
“Er… No, I’m not frightened. I just think that Seventh Senior Brother is very powerful,” Xue Fanxin said with an awkward smile.
“Of course I’m powerful… Don’t worry. No matter how powerful I am, I won’t hurt you. You’re Little Jiu’s darling. I can’t even wait to dote on you!”
Although he was the Seventh Senior Brother, when Little Jiu was angry, he was much more terrifying than him and even more terrifying than Eldest Senior Brother.
Xue Fanxin naturally knew that Zhu Qiye would not hurt her, so she had never been afraid. Just now, she had only been a little shocked because she had seen Zhu Qiye’s ruthless side. Now that she had already recovered, she would not be polite.
“Seventh Senior Brother, it’s our first time meeting. Do you have a greeting gift?”
“I’ve already treated you with the Immortal Bamboo Wine. Isn’t that enough?” Zhu Qiye’s heart ached.
“This is a welcome gift, not a greeting gift.”
“Nothing on me suits you besides these Purple Mystic Crystals. Absorb the power in the Purple Mystic Crystal well. These few Purple Mystic Crystals should be able to successfully advance you to the Mystic Spirit Realm.”
When Xue Fanxin heard this, she looked at the shining crystals on the table and immediately put them away. “Thank you, Seventh Senior Brother.”
She had only heard of purple crystals and had never heard of Purple Mystic Crystals. Presumably, this Purple Mystic Crystal should be a crystal of a higher level than purple crystals.
This was good stuff!
Zhu Qiye looked at Xue Fanxin, the money-grubber, and felt that she was very cute. He looked at his interspatial ring and realized that there were still some purple crystals piled in the corner, so he might as well take them all out for her.
“I’ll give this to you too. Although a high-grade purple crystal is inferior to a Purple Mystic Crystal, it’s still considered a good thing in the five continents and ten regions. It’s a little useful to you.”
“Seventh Senior Brother, you’re the best.” Xue Fanxin picked up a high-grade purple crystal that was the size of a fist. Even when she held it in her hand, she could sense the spiritual energy fluctuation from the crystal. She simply could not bear to put it down.
She had never even seen a high-grade purple crystal!
Speaking of which, she had been quite poor recently. It was said that many places in the five continents and ten regions used crystals as trading currency. Although there were also gold coins, crystal coins, and so on, they were all used by ordinary people. Most ordinary cultivators liked to use crystals as trading currency.
She really did not have any crystals.
It seemed like she had to spend some effort to earn money. Otherwise, it would not be good to always rely on Ah Jiu.
“Hey, hey, hey, come back to your senses. It’s just a few crystals. Look at how happy you are.” Zhu Qiye saw Xue Fanxin laughing as she held the crystals. That little money-grubber looked cute no matter how he looked at it.
However, if it were anyone else, he probably would not feel this way.
It couldn’t be helped. After all, this money-grubbing little girl was Little Jiu’s beloved!
“Seventh Senior Brother, thank you for the greeting gift. I’ll accept it impolitely. I’ll treat you to a feast another day.” Xue Fanxin took away all the crystals on the table, looking like she was afraid that Zhu Qiye would go back on his word.
How could she have known that these crystals were not good things in Zhu Qiye’s eyes? If he wanted them, he could easily get a bunch.
Zhu Qiye was not interested in the so-called feast. In his opinion, Xue Fanxin’s so-called feast was nothing more than those spirit dishes from the five continents and ten regions.
“Little girl, it’s already late. I’ll send you back first. Remember, this Five Elements Academy is Seventh Senior Brother’s territory. If anyone dares to bully you, just bully them back. It doesn’t matter if they’re beaten to death or crippled. If the sky collapses, Seventh Senior Brother will bear it for you.”
“Hehe, since Seventh Senior Brother says so, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Following closely behind a big tree was a good thing. It would be a waste not to use a backer. Having more backers was not a bad thing. The more, the better.
Didn’t Ah Jiu have eight senior brothers?
Her eight senior brothers were all overlords of a region. Perhaps she could get them all as her backers.
Having a backer was also a form of strength.
