Chapter 779: 7. The Key to Victory
When the maid who was cleaning saw him, she hurriedly greeted him respectfully,”Young Master Yu.”
Xia Ji didn’t say anything and just waved his hand.
The two maidservants lowered their heads and left. Before they left, the two women inadvertently glanced at the girl in pink, their eyes filled with sympathy…
In this place, the lives of servants were like pigs and dogs. This girl in pink was probably doomed.
However, the more they thought about it, the faster the two women walked out.
“Close the door,” Xia Ji said to Little Su.
Little Su ran to the door and closed it.
Instantly, the light in the room dimmed and isolated the inside and outside.
The girl in pink trembled and knelt down. She did not say anything and kept kowtowing.
Xia Ji didn’t let her kowtow and said, “”Don’t be afraid.”
The girl in pink could not help but tremble…She knew that she might have accidentally been involved in the battle between the aristocratic families and discovered some incredible secret. This person in front of her might very well want to kill her to silence her.
As for why he was brought into this confined space, it was probably to torture him to death.
She had heard these stories many times and had seen with her own eyes how a maid would open a room and see a broken corpse. The blood on the ground would not be washed clean even after a day and a night. Today, it was probably her turn.
Although she was young, beautiful, and had a rather high status in the human world, she was nothing here…
However, this girl was also smart. She did not defend herself by saying ” I didn’t see anything “. Instead, she forced herself to maintain her voice so that it did not tremble.
“Master, please don’t kill me. I don’t know what you brought when you went out…And I definitely won’t have any thoughts of harming you.”
She was smart enough to change the concept. Instead of saying, ” The person she found Su Yu with has changed, ” she said, ” She thinks that Su Yu is still in front of her. It’s just that Su Yu brought something with her when she went out, but now she didn’t, so her body is lighter. ”
Xia Ji naturally guessed what she was thinking. He pointed to a chair and said, “”Sit up.”
The girl in pink did not dare to get up, afraid that she would die if she did.
Even when Little Su moved her to sit on a chair, she was still stiff, her face pale and drenched in sweat.
Little Su looked at the girl. Combined with what Xia Ji had told her about the aristocratic families, how could she not know what kind of place this was?
Seeing that the girl was pitiful, she comforted her softly, “”Don’t be afraid.”
The eyes of the girl in pink revealed shock. She looked at her in disbelief and swept the dog collar around her neck…It was as if he was saying, ” Aren’t you afraid of death? How dare you say that? ”
Xia Ji’s eyes swept across the room, and his thoughts instantly spread out like ripples…
In the end, he had to use people. Moreover, every servant in these aristocratic families had connections outside. If they did not have any connections, they might become the basis for his plans.
“What’s your name? What’s your identity outside?” he asked.
“This servant’s name is Li Jinghua. She is the youngest daughter of the Marquis of the An Nation,” the girl in pink replied.
Xia Ji thought for a moment. The Marquis of the An Nation was a duke, and he had a medium-sized power.
“What else?”
” I’ve been learning martial arts since I was a child. I was ranked fifth on the Heaven Roll for three years and was called ‘Little Husband.’ My strength is at the half-step Transcendence Realm, but I couldn’t step into it because I lacked a complete Xuan cultivation. ”
“Who is the First Husband?”
” My elder brother is Li Beimu. He used to be the first on the Heaven List, but he went on a journey. ”
Xia Ji thought for a moment.
He did have an impression of Li Beimu.
This was because this was one of the Eight Wonders of the Confucian Sect. Although the individual strength of the Eight Wonders would increase infinitely in the later stages, and the weaker ones wouldn’t be able to defeat them no matter how many of them there were, in the early stages and during the fire tribulation, the Eight Wonders of the Confucian Sect were existences at the level of a nuclear bomb.
In the war between the north and the south, the north had relied on the Confucian Sect’s Eight Wonders to fight against Ji Xuan, who had the support of the five great clans and was also the chosen one, for so many years. Moreover, they had even held the upper hand in the beginning.
He tapped his fingers on the table.
His brain was working quickly.
Although he had yet to receive the Su family’s help, there was no doubt that the Heavenly Axiom must have known that he would come to the Su family, and the Heavenly Axiom was definitely not as familiar with the Su family as he was. It would not come here.
At the same time, be it him or the Heavenly Dao, both of them must know clearly…
The key to victory lay in the Patriarch, the Numinous Treasure in his hands, and the terrifying Xuan Formation.
Then …
The Heavenly Dao would never come to the Su family.
He could also guess that he would not go anywhere other than the Su family. Similarly, if he chose a family, he would not dare to go anywhere.
Because if they went to the wrong place, they could be killed by the aristocratic families ‘territorial Xuan formation. That would be the final blow.
Then …
After that, there were two paths.
The first was to compete in longevity and hide in their respective aristocratic families to see who could live longer.
The second was to have a duel outside the aristocratic families.
The third was to take the risk, disguise his identity, enter the opponent’s home ground, and kill the opponent before the opponent discovered him.
Whether it was himself or the Heavenly Axiom, they both had a certain degree of pride. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not choose the first path or the third path. Thus, they would choose the second path.
Xia Ji pondered.
If it was the second path, the most crucial point would be to fight for a living, mobile formation like the Eight Wonders of the Confucian Sect.
“Show me your power,” he said gently.
“Yes,” Li Jinghua replied softly.
However, she was terrified and could not use any strength. She only used a gentle set of fist techniques.
” Go fight her, ” Xia Ji said to Xiao Su. ” Test her strength. ”
Hence, Little Su stepped out. Little Su didn’t have any fancy power, just the kind that had ” thick HP, hard, and direct attacks “.
As the two of them fought, Li Jinghua gradually revealed her strength in the passive confrontation. It was a martial art that was mixed with mental power, which was quite unique.
Xia Ji thought for a moment, then got up and sat down at the desk. He grabbed a pen and started writing.
Li Jinghua was baffled and at a loss.
About two hours later, Xia Ji heaved a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, “”Come over.”
“I dare not.” Li Jinghua hurriedly knelt down.
“Come here.”
“Yes,” Li Jinghua replied.
Although she sensed that this person might not be that violent, her life and death were completely in the hands of the other party. She was nervous, and her hands gripped her pink sleeves tightly. She lowered her head and carefully walked over.
Xia Ji handed her the ten pages he had just written and said, “” This is a mystic cultivation technique for you. You can use it as a reference to break through. ”
Li Jinghua could not believe it. She glanced at the new Xuan technique and realized that it was extremely suitable for her to cultivate…
She was even more in disbelief.
Xia Ji stood up and tidied the girl’s hair. He said gently, “” You have to believe that sometimes, the secrets you discover might not bring bad luck. Maybe this is a good start? ”
This gentle voice was mixed with great courage, as if it could calm people’s hearts and stabilize their souls.
Li Jinghua lowered her head. Everything that had happened today made her feel like she was dreaming.
Xia Ji said sincerely,”In a few days, I’ll send you out. Help me find your brother, Li Muzhi…” I need his help.
Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you will have to wait for me at the Heavenly Star Inn in Donghai City in two months.
If you can find him, I swear I will release you and set you free.”
Li Jinghua said,”This servant…” What if you can’t find it?”
“Same,” Xia Ji said with a smile.
Li Jinghua was speechless.
At this moment, she was completely sure that the person in front of her was not Su Yu, but a gentle man from the bottom of his bones. Even if she looked up, she could see the kindness in his eyes.
And light.
