40: C40 Every Family Has Its Own Problems

C40 Every Family Has Its Own Problems

"You guys wait for me here."

"Don't follow me."

Just as the three troublemakers was about to step into Ji Prefecture, which was located in the southern part of the city, Jee Xi suddenly stopped. She turned around and spoke fiercely to Xiao Wuwu and Ling Kong.

Ling Kong and Xiao Wuwu were stunned when they heard this.

Although the little girl's expression and tone were the same as usual, it didn't seem like there was any difference.

However, Ling Kong and Xiao Wuwu could still hear a trace of uneasiness from her tone.

The little girl seemed to not want them to know about her matter?

"Alright then."

Ling Kong shrugged his shoulders.

As a transmigrator, no matter how high and mighty he was, he was still someone who had received high education in modern society.

He knew how to respect other people's feelings.

Xiao Wuwu, who was beside him, naturally had no objections.

Jee Xi saw this and secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

She put her hands behind her back and was just about to turn around and enter Guang Yuan Square.

A gloomy voice suddenly sounded.

"A sinister voice suddenly echoed."

As soon as the voice faded, a figure floated out of the square and appeared next to Jee Xi like a ghost.

Jee Xi's figure paused and her small face pulled down.

She raised her head and met the eyes of the "ghost" without showing any signs of weakness.

Xiao Wuwu and Ling Kong who were at the side saw this and quickly ran over.

"What do you want to do?"

"Old thing, stay away from her!"

In the slums, the young man who looked like a normal teenager was now baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.

Xiao Wuwu, who was beside him, had rolled up his sleeves. He looked like he wanted to fight.

The three troublemakers, no, they had only been working together for three days. They couldn't let this little girl be bullied.

"How dare you!"

"Where did this little brat come from? How dare he interfere in the matters of the Jee family?"

"Ghost!" He coldly harrumphed.

Actually, the "ghost" did not look like a ghost. Instead, it had a good appearance.

However, whether it was his tone of voice or the aura he emitted, it made people feel gloomy.

"Jee Bochang!"

"You really don't want to give up."

Jee Xi pulled a long face and said with a cold smile.

This ghost... No, Jee Bochang.

His name was Ji Lun, and he was an old man. In terms of seniority, he could be considered Jee Xi's uncle.

And he was even related to her.

Jee Xi's original body, her parents, had died long ago.

She left behind a few properties before her death, a thousand acres of spiritual farmland, and entrusted it to her elder brother to take care of.

After Jee Xi became an adult, she would return the family property and spiritual farmland to Jee Xi.

Such an arrangement was originally not a problem.

However, no one had expected that this seemingly honest Jee Bochang, who was still the registrar of City Lord's Mansion, would actually covet the inheritance Jee Xi's parents left for her.

He tried every means possible to take the inheritance for himself.

Unfortunately, Vault Domain was more strict in terms of morality and etiquette.

If the news of Jee Bochang plotting against his niece was spread, it would undoubtedly cause his reputation to be tarnished.

It would even cause him to lose his position as the registrar.

Therefore, Jee Bochang did not dare to make a move for a long time.

After restraining herself for a few years, Jee Xi gradually grew up. She was about to become an adult.

Jee Bochang finally could not hold it in anymore.

He thought hard for a long time and decided on a vicious plan.

That was... to get rid of Jee Xi.

Since his niece was dead, the second family had no heir.

This way, he could legally pass his youngest son under the second house's name.

Then, he would swallow the large amount of inheritance left behind by his brother.

This could be considered a typical case of the family taking over the inheritance.

It was not uncommon in Vault Domain.

In fact, Jee Xi's original body had indeed been poisoned to death because she had been eating Zhai Luo Grass, Sparkling Moon Flower and other food for a long time.

However, no one would have thought that the Empress Jee Xi from the Xianxia World would be reborn.

The reborn Jee Xi was not a weak original body.

Although she did not merge too many memories with her original body.

However, as an Empress, what kind of world had she not seen?

After just a few interactions, Jee Xi had already seen through Jee Bochang's true colors.

If not for the fact that Jee Xi was unable to cultivate at that time, it would have been very difficult for her to fight against a confucianism and taoism cultivator like Jee Bochang.

She was afraid that she would turn hostile on the spot.

But even so, Jee Xi never gave Jee Bochang a good look.

Jee Bochang, who was shocked that Jee Xi didn't die, naturally didn't know that Jee Xi's soul had changed to another person.

He only said that his scheme had not succeeded and was discovered by Jee Xi.

In his anger, he also tore off his disguise.

He began to exert his might step by step to force Jee Xi.

If it wasn't for Jee Xi being alert and not giving Jee Bochang a chance to make a move after his rebirth.

She was afraid that she, the reborn empress, might fall again.

Xiao Wuwu and Ling Kong naturally did not know about these circumstances.

After hearing Jee Bochang's words, they didn't dare to continue being impudent.

After all, this was the little girl's family matter.

The two of them, as outsiders, didn't seem to want to get involved.

"We can't hide from them."

"Good niece, accept your fate."

Jee Bochang glanced at Jee Xi and said.

As he spoke, his aura firmly locked onto Jee Xi. Obviously, he would not let Jee Xi run away.

In any case, between him and Jee Xi, there was only one thing that was missing.

Even if he turned hostile on the spot, it was not a big deal.

As long as the follow-up was cleaned up, outsiders might not be able to discover the true purpose of his plot for the inheritance.

As for the two little brats that followed Jee Xi here?

Heh, this kind of little brat speaks softly. Even if he sees through something, who would believe their words?

Therefore, Jee Bochang didn't care at all.

Jee Xi immediately sensed Jee Bochang's aura.

Her small face darkened.

However, she did not move.

Indeed, Jee Bochang was not a particularly strong person.

His rank was only at the Country Deter Level.

In the entire Southern Border Continent, he was considered a mediocre cultivator.

However, in the Wutan City, a Country Deter Level warrior like Jee Bochang was already considered one of the top warriors.1

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get the position of the Registrar Official.

No matter how high Jee Xi's morale was, she knew that she was still not a match for Jee Bochang.

If she were to fall out with him now, it would only be detrimental to her.

"My good niece, why are you so stubborn?"

"You should have given in earlier. Heh, why would Uncle harm you?"

"Go home with Uncle. Go home and sign the contract. Be obedient!"

Perhaps it was because this was the entrance to Guangyuan Workshop that pedestrians passed by, but Jee Bochang didn't dare to go too far. His tone gradually softened.

Jee Xi heard this and was silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, she suddenly turned her head and winked at the sky behind her.

Ling Kong was stunned when he saw this.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly realized something.

Then, without batting an eyelid, he made an OK gesture to Jee Xi.

Jee Bochang naturally saw the small movements between Jee Xi and Ling Kong in his eyes.

However, he did not care.

What kind of waves could a few little brats create?

In any case, no matter what he said today, he had to get his brother's inheritance.

It was one thing for him to make some money, but the thousand acres of farmland that Jee Xi's parents left behind was a good thing.

It was what Jee Bochang really wanted.

"Alright, I'll go back with you."

"Today, you and I will settle this once and for all."

After communicating with Ling Kong's secret signal, Jee Xi turned her head around and said coldly to Jee Bochang.

She paused, then turned around and pointed at Xiao Wuwu.

"However, I want my classmate to accompany me."

"Otherwise, I won't believe you."
