Seeing the boy covering his head with his hands in grievance, Ke Jiu turned his head away and hid his smile.

“Although it was a bit opportunistic, Xiaofan’s ‘sword’ still touched me, which is indeed a lot of progress.”

“As a master, I should give you some encouragement. You can ask me for something. What do you want?”

Ji Fan’s sadness turned into joy, and his bitter gourd-like face suddenly became sweet.

The master said I could ask her for something? What should I ask for?

But just as the boy was in dilemma, Ke Jiu’s expression changed slightly, and her jade message slip emitted an unusual spiritual wave.

She took out the jade slip from her sleeve. The flashing spiritual seal on it showed that the person coming was Luo An. She pressed it against her forehead.

——Junior Sister Ke, I have found Junior Brother Shen Ye. It seems to be just a false alarm. He probably became possessed due to his earlier failure in breaking through the innate realm. Today, when he was patrolling for suspicious people in Huaian, his true energy was confused and he fainted.

——I have every reason to suspect that the evil cultivator who attacked the Ji family is still in Huai’an, and will most likely take advantage of the martial arts conference held at the Ji family to fish in troubled waters.

——I have an appointment with the head of the Ji family at 3 p.m. tomorrow. If Junior Sister Ke has anything you want to know, you can go with me then.

Ke Jiu thought about it and wrote in the spiritual seal, “Okay, see you at the Ji family tomorrow at 5 pm.”

“What happened to Master?” the boy asked curiously.

“Xiao Fan,” Ke Jiu said with a smile, “Isn’t there a martial arts performance to be held at the Ji family? This is a good opportunity to go on stage. Don’t you want to give it a try?”

“I’m going to compete with adults. This is not good…”

“Didn’t you just murder two adults for me yesterday?”

“That…that is…”

Ke Jiu poked his forehead with his fingertips and said calmly: “Xiao Fan, you are my only disciple. Are you afraid to challenge a martial arts competition held by a small family?”

“No, my family has been expelled from the Huai’an Ji family since my grandfather. I’m afraid that it will be discovered and cause trouble for my master.”

“Would I be afraid of this little trouble from the Ji family?”

“I know the master is a very powerful person, but…”

Seeing the boy’s frown and hesitation, Ke Jiu raised his tone.

“Didn’t you just say that you wanted to get first place in the entrance examination of the Jinghang Sect? Why are you hesitating now?

“I once won first place in the martial arts competition among the disciples of the ten sects. As my disciple, don’t you want to keep up with me?”

I can’t let my master down, I have to stay with her.

Ji Fan took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and looked at Ke Jiu seriously.

“Master, I understand. I’m not afraid. I want to participate in the Ji family’s martial arts competition. I won’t be rude to you!”

“Don’t be nervous, relax,” Ke Jiu smiled and patted his head, “I’m not sending you to the battlefield, I just want you to get in touch with different opponents and train yourself.”

“Can I…can I really compete with an adult?”

“Xiao Fan, you are a rare genius in a century, but you just don’t know it. I believe in you, and you should have some confidence in yourself.”

“I’m… a genius?” the boy muttered to himself, seemingly unconvinced.

Not only is he a genius, but he also possesses extraordinary comprehension, comparable to the innate Taoist body of the Demon Lord Ji Wang.

“Show the same magnanimity you had when you were training with me. Ordinary Qi training cultivators are no match for you.”

“Besides, your family used to be a branch of the Huai’an Ji family. You were banished to a small mountain village. Aren’t you angry? Have you ever thought about coming back here to prove yourself?”

“No, that was something that happened in my grandfather’s generation. Although my father told me about it, it always seemed too far away from me.”

“Even if the Ji family here is related to me by blood, I don’t think they are closer to me than my friends in the village.”

Ke Jiu was surprised.

I thought that this child had no relatives and would have a desire to rely on his blood-related family.

It seems that distant relatives are indeed not as good as close neighbors. He has neither the traditional concept of family nor the idea of ​​returning to one’s roots.

“By the way, will the master also participate?”

“Yes,” Ke Jiu nodded, “The people of the Demon Sect will never give up easily. They must have some purpose in attacking the Ji family.”

“There might be people from the Demon Sect participating in this martial arts competition. I want to catch these little bugs at the competition.”

In fact, not having much money on me is also an important reason.

“Um… How does the master identify the demon cultivators?”

“The true qi characteristics of the seven veins of the Demon Sect are easy to identify. Anyone who has fought with them will never forget the demonic energy on them.”

“In other words, by identifying the true qi used by practitioners, can we determine who is a demon cultivator?”

“This is the case in most cases, but it is not ruled out that some demon cultivators are very good at disguise and difficult to identify with just their true qi…”

Ke Jiu suddenly remembered another good friend from her previous life, Shan Haiming from Penglai Island, one of the Ten Immortal Sects.

He was almost deceived into losing his virginity by a female demon cultivator from the evil and lustful branch of the Demon Sect, who disguised herself as a fairy from the Yanyue Temple.

Shan Haiming’s overall strength is not weaker than hers, and he is not a rookie cultivator who has no sense of defense.

It can be seen that as long as these evil cultivators are familiar with the righteous ways of the immortal sect, even if they really want to disguise themselves, it is not so easy to identify them.

“Master! Please continue to push me for the sake of the Ji Family Martial Arts Tournament!”

Ji Fan looked at her with fighting spirit in his eyes.

“Xiao Fan, I only used 10% of my true energy to practice with you just now. I will gradually increase the pressure of the training later.”

“You have to be mentally prepared.”

“Three…two…one…”

“Ah, Master, be gentle!”

As Ke Jiu’s countdown ended, Ji Fan continued his training journey which was filled with pain but also a little joy.

The next day, as the sun rose, Ke Jiu took the boy to ask Manager Dong for the direction of the Ji family.

“Miss Ke, do you want to go to the Ji family? Oh… you must want to sign up for the martial arts competition.”

“The Ji family’s residence is in Jingyang Town, east of Huaian City. All the shops in the town are theirs. You will naturally know how to get there when you get there.”

Ke Jiu nodded: “Manager Dong, thank you, we will probably come back, please keep the room for us.”

She glanced at Ji Fan and signaled the boy to leave.

“Hello young lady, I heard that you are asking about the martial arts competition held by the Ji family?”

Ke Jiu turned around and saw a man with a pointed chin wearing a yellow shirt. He was holding a folding fan and fanning himself.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Guo Lei, I am the last disciple of the leader of the Honghuang Sect, and one of the candidates for the championship of the Ji Family Martial Arts Competition!”

The man with the pointed chin folded his fan, raised his sleeves, and bowed to Ke Jiu.

“If life could only be like our first encounter, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan? I, Guo, am the only one who can see Miss Ke’s happy face among the vast sea of ​​people and millions of bodhisattvas in my lifetime, and we have booked the same inn.”

“Isn’t this a destiny appointed by God? Girl, how about we go together to witness this grand event?”

As he spoke, he spread out his folding fan again, looking very elegant.

What is Honghuang Sect? I have never heard of it… Is it some small-time sect?

Ke Jiu had a strange look on her face. She could hardly sense any kind of true energy from this person.

At best, he has just reached the entry-level level of drawing Qi into the body. It is estimated that he cannot even last two moves against her nine-year-old little disciple.

But his confidence was beyond her comprehension.

Ke Jiu ignored his approach, took Ji Fan’s hand, and walked out of the inn without looking back.

“Oh~ It must be because I, Guo Lei, am too charming. This girl couldn’t look at me directly and could only avoid me in a hurry.”

The man with the pointed chin took out a bronze mirror from his arms, looked at himself in the mirror, and began to indulge himself.

These eyes, these eyebrows, I am so handsome.

Only the words of Ke Jiu educating his apprentice could be faintly heard from outside.

“Xiao Fan, when you encounter these weird uncles trying to talk to you, just run as far away as possible and don’t pay any attention to them.”
