C377 What Ji Guan Was Most Worried about

From the Ji family's point of view.

Having an ancestor like Ji Guan, who only wanted to protect his children and grandchildren, was undoubtedly extremely lucky.

However, in the eyes of Ye Xun and Gu Yunci, Ji Guan's behavior was somewhat ridiculous.

"Junior brother, what do you think?"

"Ji Guan is very devoted to the offspring of the royal family. It is not easy to convince him to agree to abolish Ji Bigu!"

Gu Yunci turned to look at Ye Xun and said slowly.

Putting other things aside, based on Ji Mao's behavior just now.

He attached great importance to the Ji family royal family.

Perhaps in his heart, the purpose of his existence was to protect the descendants of the royal family.

Therefore, it was not easy to deal with such a person.

After all, crippling Ji Bigu was equivalent to slapping the Ji family royal family's face in public.

How could Ji Guan, who attached great importance to his family, allow such a thing to happen?

Of course, if Ye Xun and Gu Yunci used violence to solve the problem, it wouldn't be a problem.

However, if that was the case, they would have to fight the Ji family to the death.

This wasn't in line with Ye Xun and Gu Yunci's interests.

"This matter is as easy as flipping my hand!"

"Exchange benefits is enough!"

When Ye Xun heard this, he smiled.

Gu Yunci nodded.

He understood what Ye Xun meant.

The so-called exchange of interests.

It referred to increasing the lifespan for Ji Guan.

To the entire Ji family, an old ancestor who had his lifespan added, and a king who did not have any great achievements.

Who was more important? However!

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked in front of Ji Guan!

"Teacher Gu, Teacher Ye!"

Ji Guan bowed deeply.

Ye Xun and Gu Yunci both returned the bow when they saw this.

Everyone was a teacher. Unless they had already shed all pretenses of cordiality, there was no distinction between good and bad in terms of etiquette.

It was just like how the most ordinary teacher would bow to the Sovereign Teacher when meeting the Sovereign Teacher.

The emperor's teacher also had to return the salute in order to conform to the rules.

As a teacher, one naturally had to pay attention to the word 'etiquette'.

If the bow was not successful, then what was the point of saying 'teacher'?

This was undoubtedly the work of Dongzi again.

Of course, these were all under normal circumstances.

In some special occasions, or when both sides had already fallen out with each other, there was naturally no need to abide by this set of rules.

"Teacher Gu and Teacher Ye have come to pay a visit. This humble dwelling is honored by your presence. It is the honor of Ji family."

Ji Guan's face was filled with smiles, looking somewhat warm.

However, the corner of his eye clearly paused on Ye Xun a few more times.

He had heard Gu Yunci's famous name a long time ago, and his ears had calluses.

But Ye Xun... He was a new rising genius.

At least in terms of fame, he wasn't as good as the old genius, Gu Yunci.

Even until now, he still did not remember what Ye Xun's name was.

"Teacher Ji is being modest."

"This Gu and junior Ye Xun came unexpectedly this time. I hope Teacher Ji doesn't mind."

Gu Yunci waved his hand and said.

Although his words sounded humble, he was still a King Teacher, and his tone was filled with confidence.

Obviously, he was stronger than Ji Guan.

Ji Guan didn't mind this at all.

He just secretly glanced at Ye Xun a few more times.

"So his name is Ye Xun!"

"I remember now, the legendary genius of the academy!"

"Tsk tsk, this kind of genius really isn't someone ordinary people can compare with."

"He doesn't seem to have reached twenty yet, right?"

"A master teacher who isn't even twenty yet, his talent is simply too frightening. It's as if another Gu Yunci is still alive!"

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Ji Guan's mind in an instant.

It was natural for him to be envious.

Thinking about Ji Guan, he was already over five hundred years old.

He was only a 2-star four-word master. He was already a 2-star four-word master!

However, Ye Xun was already a 2-star three-word master before the age of twenty.

When did he become a 3-star master teacher?

He was over a hundred years old!

Comparisons are truly infuriating.

"Gentlemen, please come in."

Very quickly, Ji Guan threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind and bowed to Gu Yunci and Ye Xun.

The three of them walked into the temple together.

After entering the private room that Ji Guan often stayed in, both parties took their seats.

A maid in uniform immediately brought tea, various dried fruits and pastries for Ji Guan.

"I wonder why Teacher Gu and Teacher Ye are here today?"

After sitting down, Ji Guan did not exchange pleasantries and directly asked.

He didn't believe that Gu Yunci and Ye Xun would simply come to visit him.

It was impossible even if he thought about it.

"Senior, come!"

Ye Xun looked at Gu Yunci and said in a low voice.

Gu Yunci nodded.

No one cared about the relationship between him and Ye Xun.

However, in an important occasion, he had to show that Gu Yunci was the leader.

After all, he was a King Teacher, while Ye Xun was only a master teacher.

He had to abide by the rules.

At this moment, there was no fourth person present.

However, Ji Guan was a teacher who represented the royal family of Ji family.

Regardless of the number of people present, this meeting was an important occasion for both parties.

Ye Xun was such a cunning person, how could he fall into someone else's trap?

"Teacher Ji."

"This Gu is a straightforward person, I won't beat around the bush."

"Teacher Ji, you should know that the crisis of the Ji family royal family is right in front of you..."

Gu Yunci looked at Ji Guan and said in a clear voice.

Before he could finish his words, Ji Guan's facial expression changed several times.

This face-changing skill made Ye Xun laugh in his heart.

At the same time, he also secretly praised Gu Yunci's words.

The senior really wasn't polite.

He directly exposed Ji Guan's cover.

"Gu... Why did Teacher Gu say that?"

Ji Guan forced a smile, but his tone sounded very guilty.

It was far from what it was before.

When Gu Yunci heard this, he said, "Surprised."

"Is there even a need to ask?"

"Doesn't everyone in the world know that Teacher Ji is already over 500 years old?"

"As for the lifespan of a master teacher with four words, it is at most five hundred years old. Even if Teacher Ji had consumed a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that increases the number of lifespan consumed, that is."

"But it is nothing more than a cup of water on a cart of firewood!"

"Teacher Ji, it's not that my words are unpleasant to the ears. If something were to happen to you, what would the royal family of Ji family do?"

"The current world is not as bad as the past Sacred Masters, but there are many ambitious masters active in the secular world!"

"The Thousand Forest Kingdom was a precedent!"

Gu Yunci was definitely an expert in the heart piercing aspect.

He openly displayed the things that Ji Guan feared the most in the depths of his heart.

Furthermore, he didn't hold back at all!

Ji Guan's face turned extremely pale in an instant!

What Gu Yunci said.

It was the thing he had been most worried about!

It was still alright for the Chisheng Kingdom to have an old ancestor like him.

However, if he, the Old Ancestor, were to fall...

The Ji family didn't have a second master.

At that time, the entire royal family of the Ji family would be met with a catastrophe!

This was not a groundless worry.

It was an existing example!

That unfortunate Thousand Woods Kingdom was a living example.

That's right, the Thousand Forest King at that time was violent and muddle-headed, not some qualified king.

However, if the Thousand Forest Kingdom's Teacher Ancestor was still there...

At most, the King of the Thousand Woods Kingdom would be a new king.

No matter what, it wouldn't be to the extent that their inheritance would be cut off.

Of course, if that was all, it would not have caused Ji Guan to worry to such an extent.1

In fact, the fate of the Qianlin royal family was extremely miserable.

Not only had their inheritance been severed, but they had also been purged by the new king over and over again.

At that time, the entire Qianlin royal family had around a hundred thousand people, including the direct lineage, minor lineage, remote auxiliary lineage, and so on and so forth.

But in the end... there were only twenty-seven branch families and remote branch families left, barely managing to survive.

The rest were all slaughtered by the new king and his interest group.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that a master teacher from the academy, who was in charge of Qian Lin's capital, couldn't bear to watch any longer, he would have stepped forward to stop the cleansing of the new king.

Even if the twenty-seven of them were to remain, they might not be able to escape.

Thus, how could Ji Guan not be afraid?

Once he died, the Ji family would lose his protection.

He would become the second Thousand Woods Royal Family.

How would he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Ji family?
