Big Bodhi - Chapter 21-1

Chapter 21: Suppression (1/2)

“I remember that you are also considered a direct bloodline of the fourth house, how come you have instead lowered yourself to the status of an officer at the eight gates of the outer city?”

Ji Yue Nian stopped in his tracks and looked sideways at Ji Bugui, who was a little out of breath beside him, with a hint of doubt in his gaze.

Ji Bugui did not have a fire in his heart, although he was highly skilled in martial arts, he was after all a mortal body, and after teaching Zhao Lun a lesson from the western gate, he had chased him up the official road in a frenzy, so he was inevitably a little tired for a while.

“Although I am a direct descendant of the fourth house, I am not able to receive spiritual herbs and medicines like the others, so I can only take the initiative to be released to the eight gates of the outer city.

Ji Yue Nian looked at the mundane people coming and going on the wide official road and said softly, “Why? I remember that the elders of the Ji family treated all the houses with almost no bias, except for the family head’s line which took up fifty percent of the resources, the rest of the houses should be extremely even.”

Ji Bugui’s face became more and more bitter as he said, “The Grand Duke is unaware that this matter actually has nothing to do with the fourth house. Several years ago I was once convicted for presumptuously discussing the Grand Elder, and not only was I grounded for half a year, but I was also never able to get half of the resources allocated to me in the Ji Family.”

As they spoke, two magnificent carriages sped past side by side in the middle of the official road, raising a gust of sand and dust. Many pedestrians on both sides of the road looked indignant, but none of them dared to complain, as the carriages were carved in gold and jade, and they looked like bigwigs from the inner city passing by.

Ji Yue Nian frowned slightly as he flicked his Taoist robe and sleeves, and all the dust that flew by was obliterated into nothingness. Ji Bugui read the words and said in his heart that he had an opportunity, so he leapt forward and stopped the carriage with a few drops.

“Who is so daring to stop me Zhao Mansion’s carriage?”

A coachman cursed and jumped down from the carriage and was about to shout a rebuke when he suddenly recognised the black armour worn by Ji Bugui and his face became a little more serious.

“It turns out that Zhao Mansion’s carriage, so what? Zhao Mansion’s carriage can be so presumptuous?” Ji Bugui pulled out his long sword from his back and held it in front of him, not putting this carriage driver in his eyes in the slightest.

The coachman’s eyes twitched slightly, but he was extremely tactful and did not say anything in response, but turned around and lifted the curtain of the carriage to report in a low voice.

A few breaths later, a gentle female voice like that of a yellow warbler came out of the carriage, “Which outer city patrol commander is here?”

Ji Bugui hummed and said, “The western side of the Great City, Ji Bugui.”

The female voice was silent for a moment before saying softly, “So it is Commander Ji, but my Zhao family’s carriage has always been so reckless, what do you want?”

Although her voice was extremely soft and gentle, she didn’t really care about Ji Bugui at all.

Most of the outer city patrol leaders were promoted from among the commoners, and were no different from ants to the cultivation families in the inner city.

Although Ji Bugui’s surname alone could be a member of the Ji family, if he was really from the Ji family, he must not have much status in the Ji family, even if he was placed as the commander of the western gate.

“Then step down from the carriage, so that this commander can check carefully whether there are any demonic spirits possessing you!”

Ji Bugui did not give an inch, and the long sword in his hand glowed with a cold light.

“How dare you! Is Miss Zhao Yanran something that you, a fool, can check?” A shout came to his ears, and a young man in a green robe walked down from another carriage, looking coldly at Ji Bugui.

Early Profound Realm! This was a Zhao family heavenly pride who had kindled a fire in his heart!

The commander’s token on his waist had already faintly sensed the cultivation level of this green-robed gentleman, and Ji Bugui’s heart trembled, but then he thought that the Grand Duke was watching behind him, but he dared not show any weakness.

“I don’t care who you are,” saying this Ji Bugui, gritted his teeth and said: “You can be exempted from the inspection, but Miss Zhao’s carriage raised a lot of sand and dust and splashed my son, so I must personally make amends to my son.”

The green-robed gentleman laughed in anger and shook his head, “When did the eight gates of the outer city get such fools? How dare you not even know my Zhao family’s carriage? How ignorant you are.”

With these words, he casually made a seal, and a mysterious light appeared out of thin air, directly rolling Ji Bugui’s long sword into pieces. The shards of the sword blade flew apart, causing him to be tossed several feet away by the bursting wave of air, and one of the sharp remnants of the blade cut off a chunk of flesh from the left side of his face.

The blood gurgled from the wound, but Ji Bugui did not utter a word, forcing himself to get up, tearing a piece of cloth from his sleeve to cover the wound on the left side of his face, and saying in a fierce voice: “I said, I want you to kneel down and make amends to my son, do you hear me?”

By this time, dozens of people had already stopped here, pointing towards the two carriages and Ji Bugui and the others, and although the official road was wide, there were gradually more and more pedestrians passing by.

With a slender, snow-white jade hand, Zhao Yanran lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down slowly, her face was slightly unhappy, she said: “Zhao Si Xing, why don’t you quickly take action to crush this fool and his son to death? Does it make your face shine when my Zhao family is being pointed at here?”

Young Master Zhao Si Xing, the green-robed male, hesitated for a moment and said, “Miss Yanran, this man is after all the Western Side Grand City Gate Commander, if we were to directly exterminate him, I’m afraid that there would only be some……”

“As a member of the Zhao family, when did you become so fearful?” Zhao Yanran glanced coldly at Zhao Si Xing.

Although she had never ignited her heart fire, she had an extremely special status in the Zhao family, and even Zhao Si Xing, the concubine son of the family head who had already ignited his heart fire, did not dare to act big in front of her.

“I understand,” Zhao Si Xing replied, turning his head towards Ji Bu Gui, “Where is your son? Quickly call him out, and I will exterminate you both together.”

The first time, Ji Yue Nian stood far away, and as the number of onlookers gradually increased, he was already submerged in the crowd.
