Eight, where did you learn from?

  Eight, where did you learn from?

  Ji Jingchen finally woke up after sleeping for two days and two nights. The snake venom was no longer a problem, but he had rushed from Diezhuang to Luotian's side without resting along the way, which is why he slept for so long.

  As soon as he opened his eyes, Ji Jingchen sensed the aura that Xi Kong had left behind, so before figuring out what had happened, he loudly shouted, "Xiao Tian!"

  Luo Tian heard the voice and immediately rushed into the house in a fluster, "Jing Chen, you're awake? How are you feeling now?"

  Ji Jing tightly grasped Luo Tian's hand, "As long as you're fine."

  "I'm fine now," Luo Tian said. "And I can use my internal energy now, so I plan to go to the Great Prison tonight and rescue Father and Mother."

  "No way! It's too dangerous!" Ji Jingchen had disagreed with Luo Tian's idea from the start, "Even if you rescue them now, what then? Uncle and Auntie Luo are both old, can you bear to let them live a life of uncertainty and fear before the truth is revealed?"

  Being told by Ji Jingchen like this, Luo Tian's confidence in the future was instantly shattered. "Then what should I do? Just sit and wait for death?"

  "Of course not." Ji Jingchen asked, "Have you found any clues in these few days?"

  Luo Tian shook his head, "A person staying at home alone would only realize how big their own house is. I've searched for a long time but couldn't find any entrance to the secret passage, let alone the 300,000 taels of official silver."

  "I have a proposal."

  "You said."

  "Everyone in the world understands that this matter was done by the prime minister, so we naturally have to start with the prime minister." Ji Jingchen said, "I plan to sneak into the prime minister's mansion, so we can get closer to the truth."

  Lu Tian had also considered this, "Since it's a matter of the Lu family village, infiltrating the Prime Minister's mansion is naturally something I should do. Although my lightness skills are not as good as yours, from young to old, I've learned all the necessary martial arts, so self-defense won't be a problem. Moreover, I know the Prime Minister, but he doesn't know me, maybe I can use this point to gain his trust."

  Ji Jingchen did not expect that normally straightforward Luo Tian would consider so much, so he suddenly didn't know what words to use to stop him.

  Luo Tian continued, "The reason we can safely stay in Luo Family Village without being discovered by the officials these past two days is all thanks to Xi Da Ge. I already owe him too much, so I don't plan on owing him more. After I sneak into the Prime Minister's estate, I'll ask Jing Chen to often come and visit my father and mother. Although they are serious offenders of the imperial court, spending some silver should still allow us to see them. Also, Da Ge and Er Ge have had no news until now, they might also return here, so Jing Chen must often come back to take a look."

  The words have been said to this extent, and Ji Jingchen has no way of opposing Luo Tian's entry into the Prime Minister's mansion.

  "You must be careful," Ji Jingchen said. "After infiltrating the Prime Minister's mansion, no matter how close you are to the truth, remember that survival is the most important thing."

  Luotian nodded, "I know. You sleep a bit longer, I'll go prepare something for you to eat."

  After Luo Tian left the bedroom, Ji Jingchen said, "Why don't we have a chat?"

  He lightly jumped down from the rooftop and walked into the bedroom. In his mind, he thought that Ji Jingchen had slept for a while and his powers had increased quite a bit, and he could even sense his presence. It seemed that he couldn't underestimate him in the future.

  Ji Jingchen seemed to have understood Xi Kong's confusion, and said, "It's not that my skills have improved, but your breath is in disarray. How about it, hearing that Xiao Tian is going to the Prime Minister's mansion, are you worried that he will step into danger or excited that he has walked into your trap?"

  Xikong didn't care whether Ji Jingchen suspected him or not, so he said, "You don't need to know."

  "Regardless of your purpose, I won't let you succeed. And Xiao Tian is mine, don't even think about having ideas about him."

  Xikong said naturally, "You? Too tender."

  His vital energy was at its peak, so he concentrated his inner strength and sprang up from the bed with a loud cry, then struck out with one palm towards the empty seat.

  Xikong wanted to kill a few of Ji Jingchen's prestige, so he didn't dodge and instead stretched out his hand to compete with him.

  To be honest, Ji Jingchen's internal strength is still quite dense, otherwise his lightness skill wouldn't be so good. However, compared to Xi Kong, Ji Jingchen's actual strength is clearly not on the same level.

  Soon, Ji Jingchen felt overwhelmed.

  "Are you done playing?"

  "What?" Ji Jingchen didn't understand Xi Kong's meaning.

  Xī Kōng said, "I've had enough play." After speaking, Xī Kōng then condensed another layer of internal energy in his palm, and Ji Jīng Chén was bounced back out, smashing onto the ground.

  Considering Luo Tian's face, Xi Kong was just accompanying Ji Jingchen for fun and didn't come with real intentions, so Ji Jingchen only fell to the ground without suffering any internal injuries.

  "Come on!" Ji Jingchen didn't believe he really couldn't beat Xi Kong!

  Xikong suddenly asked, "Is your master Xuanxuzi doing well?"

  Ji Jingchen was taken aback, "How did you know who my master is?"

  Xikong said, "Even if you deliberately hide your martial arts skills, you can't deceive me."

  In front of Xi Kong, Ji Jingchen's confidence was shattered into pieces, but his mouth still boasted, "Even if you know my kung fu moves, what can you do? This doesn't mean you're stronger than me!"

  Xikong's lips curled up in a sneer, "Is this how Xuanxuzi taught you to respect your teacher and the Tao?"

  Ji Jingchen sneered, "Where is the master? Where is the Tao? My master has never asked me to 'respect the master and honor the Tao' for a stranger."

  Xikong didn't say a word, but instead took out a small token and threw it in front of Jijing Chen.

  Ji Jing was stunned for a moment, and after repeatedly confirming that the token was real, he confronted Xi Kong again. Finally, he had no choice but to accept reality, and with great reluctance, knelt before Xi Kong, "Second Master is above, please receive your disciple's bow."

  Even Xuanxuzi, the master of Ji Jingchen's master, had to call Xi Kong "Shifu", which shows how low Ji Jingchen's generation is.

  "Get up." Xi Kong threw a book at Ji Jingchen, "This is the gift from Master for you."

  Since learning of Ji Jingchen's relationship with himself, Xi Kong specially prepared a thick gift for him.

  "Six Changes of the Whirlwind"? Ji Jingchen really couldn't believe his eyes. Everyone who wanted to make a name for themselves in Jianghu by relying on their lightness skills regarded this martial arts manual as a treasure, but it was said that this book had long been destroyed, so it was only a legend in Jianghu.

  With this thick gift in hand, Ji Jingchen's suspicion of Xi Kong disappeared by more than half.

  Xi Kong was very satisfied with Ji Jingchen's reaction, sometimes winning someone over could be that simple.
