Chapter 15 The Wasteful Young Master of the Ji Family
Yangcheng is located in the northern part of Yun State.
Although it is relatively remote, it is actually much more prosperous than most of the ancient cities in Yun Country. It is the central city in the north.
Otherwise, why would a fifth-grade alchemist like Lin Qing stay here all year round?
The main reason why it is so prosperous today is the former glory of Yuhua Sect, which led to the rise of Yangcheng.
Although the Yuhua Sect has now declined, there are nearly a hundred families of all sizes in Yangcheng at this moment, and the competition is very fierce.
In the mountains outside the city, there are many sects and schools, and the Yuhua Sect is just one of them.
Today, the entrance examination of Yuhua Sect will be held in the city. It is held every two years and the opportunity is rare, so it has attracted countless young talents to participate.
"Brother Chen, you are here too. We haven't seen each other for nearly ten years. I really miss you."
"It's Brother Li. I'm so sorry. I hope you are well."
The assessment has not yet begun, but in a huge square in the south of the city, countless people have already gathered here, so many that they are simply countless.
Some of the older strong men who had come with their young geniuses were now gathered in groups of two or three, talking about the past or praising each other's descendants.
"Brother Zhang is here too. I didn't expect you to come too."
"Yes, these young people in my family have been clamoring to participate in the entrance examination of Yuhua Sect. Although they may not pass, it is not bad to bring them here to have a look and broaden their horizons."
Amid the noisy discussions of the crowd, Ji Chen also followed the crowd and came here.
He looked around, with a look of surprise on his face.
Obviously, the number of people who came to participate in the assessment today was beyond his imagination.
Looking around, there are at least two to three thousand young talents gathered in this square!
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Ji Chen frowned.
In a certain direction of the square, he saw people from the Ji family.
The head of the family, Ji Xiaotian, was chatting and laughing with some big shots in the field.
Not far from him, Ji Xueruo and Ji Yanran also came.
"What are they here for?"
Ji Chen frowned, a look of confusion on his face.
"Are they the two pearls of the Ji family?"
"He really is as handsome as the rumors say."
"The eldest daughter, Ji Yanran, is now the number one genius in Yangcheng. She is only 20 years old, but her cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Condensed Veins Realm, and she is only one step away from the Spiritual Transformation Realm!"
"Ji Xueruo is also talented. Although she has a bit of a savage personality, she was able to reach the third level of the Condensed Veins Realm at the age of sixteen, which is much stronger than most of her peers."
"I heard that the two pearls of the Ji family seem to be taking the test today as well?"
"Is this true? The Ji family is the largest family in Yangcheng. In terms of overall strength, it is not inferior to the now declining Yuhua Sect. Isn't it much better to cultivate in the Ji family than in the Yuhua Sect?"
"A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Yuhua Sect used to dominate the Yun Kingdom. How deep is its foundation? Not to mention the Ji family, even the young men of many big families in the imperial capital have come here today."
Many people were talking about it, and as the number one genius in Yangcheng, Ji Yanran naturally became the focus of many people in the audience.
"A genius like Ji Yanran is just here for the sake of formality. I'm afraid she has already been specially recruited by Yuhua Sect."
"There is also Liu Ruyan. This eldest daughter of the Liu family should not be underestimated. She is only eighteen years old, two years younger than Ji Yanran, but her cultivation has already reached the eighth level of the Condensed Veins Realm."
Amid the discussions of the crowd, Ji Chen's gaze was also looking in a certain direction.
I saw a young woman sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed next to a high platform.
She was wearing a purple dress, with a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, and her graceful figure was extremely attractive.
Liu Ruyan.
Ji Chen was no stranger to this gifted girl who was second only to Ji Yanran.
When he was young, he was beaten up by Ji Xueruo because of her.
Moreover, in her previous life, if I remember correctly, Liu Ruyan joined the Yuhua Sect at this time. Later, she grew up rapidly in just a few years and became the pride of the Yuhua Sect.
At that time, many people said that Liu Ruyan would most likely become the next headmaster in the future.
"Sister Yanran, Ji Chen is over there."
Ji Xueruo looked around as if she was looking for someone. Finally, she found Ji Chen and whispered in Ji Yanran's ear.
"His breath..."
Ji Yanran looked over with her beautiful eyes, and looked at Ji Chen, feeling a little surprised.
Because compared to two days ago, she could feel that Ji Chen's aura had become much stronger and had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm!
"Why is this rebellious son here?"
Ji Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and noticed Ji Chen. He couldn't help but snorted coldly.
He walked over directly.
Seeing this, Ji Yanran and her sister were shocked and followed behind.
They all knew that Ji Xiaotian had always been very strict and harsh towards Ji Chen.
Not long ago, he had personally shattered the other party's spiritual sea. Now that the father and son meet in such an occasion, if something bad happens, it will inevitably bring a lot of impact to the Ji family and cause people to laugh at them.
After all, family scandals should not be made public.
"Ji Chen, where have you been these days?"
Ji Xiaotian walked over, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked Ji Chen up and down, as stern as ever.
"It seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"
Ji Chen just glanced at him indifferently, frowning slightly, obviously not wanting to pay attention to him.
"Ok?"
Hearing his words, Ji Xiaotian's face darkened, "How dare you, a rebellious son, speak to me like this?"
"Ji Xiaotian, I am no longer a member of your Ji family, nor am I your son. Do you think that I will still speak to you in a fawning and polite manner like before?" Ji Chen snorted coldly.
Although the two people's voices were not loud, they were heard by many people around them.
Many people were attracted by what was happening here and looked over.
"That person is Ji Chen? The useless son of the Ji family?"
"At the age of 18, he is still at the third level of Qi Refining Realm. How shameful! The Ji family, the largest family in Yangcheng, has such a useless young master. Ugh..."
"What's going on? From what I heard from their conversation, Ji Chen actually severed ties with the Ji family?"
People gathered around, whispering, discussing something, and pointing at Ji Chen.
"So he is the useless young master of the Ji family?"
Somewhere in the crowd, Lin Qing, the leader of Yidan Pavilion, also arrived. Seeing the scene happening in the square, he couldn't help but look surprised.
Obviously, Lin Qing already knew Ji Chen's name before, but he just thought that he had the same name as that good-for-nothing Ji Chen. He never thought that they were actually the same person.
