C42 This Was What It Meant to Have an Extraordinary Status

Although the servants of the Jee family were servants, they were, after all, the family of the confucianism and taoism.

Even a servant knew what the word 'master' meant.

After nervously crawling up, the servants of the Jee family hurriedly opened the door.

The visit of a teacher was no small matter.

Whether it was a noble official or a peddler, it did not matter.

They were all able to greet the teachers.

Otherwise, they would be labeled as a great crime of disrespect.

Even if it was the emperor, if he were to neglect his teacher, he would be charged with the same crime.

At that time, he might even lose his throne.

Thus, no one dared to treat him lightly.

With a creak, the heavy doors of the Jee family slowly opened.

Immediately after, the servant of the Jee family knelt down with a thud.

"Lowly person Ji San, kneel and welcome your master!"

As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

From afar, he looked like he was lying on the ground, motionless.

The commotion at the door had obviously attracted the attention of the other people from the Jee family.

Especially when they heard the word 'master', they were even more shocked.

Immediately, from the people of the Jee family to the servants and maids of the Jee family.

Each and every one of them ran over with terrified expressions.

Then, like Ji San, they fell to their knees on the ground.

"The Jee family of Wutan, Ji Jing. He has led his clansmen and servants to welcome his master on his knees."

The leading Ji Jing was obviously a direct descendant of the Jee family. He knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

When Ling Kong, who was standing beside Ye Xun, saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he knew that in this world, the status of a teacher was extraordinary, and they had supreme privileges.

However, he had never come into contact with such scenes before.

In addition, when he was at school, the three troublemakers had sent a few teachers away.

Thus, Ling Kong had always thought that the so-called teacher had an extraordinary status. It was merely because of his occupation as a teacher that his status was relatively high.

It was only now that he truly understood the meaning of the word 'teacher is superior'.

In terms of background, the Jee family was already considered one of the top families in the Wutan City.

Among the three big families in the Wutan, Xiao, Ji, and Liu were great figures who could speak on equal terms with the City Lord.

In terms of status, Jee Bochang from the Jee family was the City Lord's Book.

The Book of the Lord of Vault Domain was in charge of all the documents, government affairs, and even the money and grain accounts.

This was an extremely important position, and it held a lot of power and influence, and was only second to the City Lord.

With the power and influence of the Jee family, it was not an exaggeration to say that they could cover the sky with their own hands in Wutan City.

However, such a Jee family was right in front of Ye Xun, their master.

Yet, it seemed so petty and petty.

This was the status of a teacher, which was above everything else.

"Rise!"

Ye Xun waved his hand slightly and softly uttered a word.

Hearing this, the people of Jee family were trembling with fear. They carefully stood up.

But even so, none of them dared to breathe loudly.

"I am Jee Xi's master."

"Today, I am here to pay a visit."

"Call Jee Xi out."

Ye Xun looked at Ji Jing and said unhurriedly.

Ji Jing's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

He was the younger brother of Ji Lun, Jee Bochang. He was the third son in the family.

In terms of seniority, he could be considered Jee Xi's uncle.

He naturally knew very well that his brother was plotting against Jee Xi's inheritance.

However, Ji Jing's temperament was weak, even though he knew that his brother's actions were inappropriate.

He didn't dare say another word.

Just now, his brother, Ji Lun, brought his niece Jee Xi and Xiao Wuwu from the Xiao family into the rear hall.

How could Ji Jing not know what his elder brother wanted to do?

At this moment, his niece Jee Xi's teacher had come to visit.

This was probably going to be troublesome.

For a moment, Ji Jing's mind was in chaos, and he was in a dilemma.

He stood there, tongue-tied and at a loss for what to do.

"Hm?"

Ye Xun raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

Ji Jing became even more flustered when he saw this.

"I... this... Ah, good... good."

He replied incoherently.

Then, he turned around and rushed towards the back of the hall.

When they saw the Third Master, they panicked. The slaves of Jee family looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The Third Master was too rude.

He just left his teacher at the same place, this... Is this alright?

Logically speaking, Ji Jing should first respectfully invite Ye Xun and his disciple into the main hall.

Then, he should personally accompany the host.

But at this moment, Ji Jing was already in a state of chaos. How could he still care about it for a moment?

His mind was filled with thoughts of hurriedly informing his elder brother to stop making things difficult for the little girl.

Otherwise, once the little girl's teacher blames him.

Then, the Jee family might really be in trouble.

After all, even the City Lord's Mansion wouldn't be able to protect the Jee family if their teacher stepped forward.

Fortunately, Ye Xun wasn't here to denounce the Jee family.

He was purely here to help the little girl, Jee Xi, solve the problem.

Otherwise, just the crime of being rude would be enough to make the Jee family suffer.

In the back hall.

Jee Bochang was still threatening Jee Xi in a sinister manner.

"My good niece, although you are also a member of the Jee family, you are still a girl. You will have to marry someone else in the future."

"You have been eating the family and using them all these years. Uncle shouldn't have calculated this with you."

"It's just that to prevent our family members from gossiping, so... I will use the spiritual farmland under your name to compensate for this."

"As for the family fortune your parents left for you, no one will covet it."

"What do you think?"

Jee Bochang's goal was the spirit farm. He did not care about the money.

If he could successfully get the spirit field, what would happen if he returned the rest of the things to Jee Xi in the future?

Jee Xi, who was sitting on the chair, had a look of disdain on her face.

She glanced at Jee Bochang and said with a cold smile.

"Jee Bochang, you are still so useless."

"If you want to covet my spiritual field, just say it. Why do you need so many reasons?"

"Back then, didn't you also poison me with killing intent?"

"Why are you backing down now?"1

To Jee Xi, if Jee Bochang could be like the last time he poisoned her, he would directly tear off all pretenses of cordiality.

She might even look up to him.

But now...

Xiao Wuwu, who was standing beside her, looked at Jee Xi in shock, then looked at Jee Bochang, who looked honest and kind, and his heart was filled with shock and anger.

The Xiao family had put on a show where their younger brother murdered their elder brother and killed their nephew.

He had never thought that the Jee family, which was also one of the three great families, wouldn't be any weaker than them.

As their eldest uncle, he had openly schemed against his niece's property and even poisoned her.

For a moment, Xiao Wuwu's heart was filled with the feeling of sharing a common enemy.

On the opposite side, Jee Bochang's expression changed.

He did not expect Jee Xi, this little girl, to take the initiative to tear off all pretenses of cordiality.

She even exposed his evil deeds.

If it was not for Xiao Wuwu, this outsider, he would not have taken it to heart.

But at this moment, all of his evil deeds had been heard by Xiao Wuwu.

Once these things were spread out...

How could he keep the name of "Great Monk Ji" in Wutan City?

At that time, what would the City Lord think of him? What would his colleagues think of him?

With this thought in mind, Jee Bochang's expression gradually became savage.

"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit!"

"Little girl, you are asking for it..."

As he spoke, a scholarly aura surged from Jee Bochang's body.

Obviously, he was unable to restrain himself and was about to make a move.

Right at this moment, a panicked voice suddenly sounded from outside the back hall.

"Big Brother, no... Not good."

"Niece's teacher is here."
