Chapter 1010 108 Gospel (25)

Chapter 1010: Chapter 108: Gospel (25) Chapter 1010: Chapter 108: Gospel (25) “I must say, Ah Gui’s zealous adherence to his assigned task even at the risk of his life does warrant deep reflection.”

After all, he is a demigod. Theoretically, it should not be more difficult for him to escape on his own.

Could it be that he wanted to sleep with it?

“Ji Ping, what is happening here?”

By now, realizing that the target had successfully fled, Ji Xun also decisively stopped expending energy to maintain the Ashfall.

As color returned to the world, he looked at Ji Ping and asked sharply.

He might not have caught on in that instant, but it was not hard to figure it out now.

Ji Ping’s performance was aimed at getting close to Old Master Lu, facilitating a fatal strike with what was in his mouth.

From the beginning till now, his so-called honest confession and repentance were all for this moment—it turned out he had always been on the Native Council’s side.

This move was undoubtedly cunning. At least in Ji Xun’s view, had the roles been reversed, he too would have found it difficult to escape.

However, Demigod Lu from the Rebirth Club almost playfully thwarted the attack with a flick of his hand.

Even including Ji Liushuang, her reaction throughout was unusually calm…

As the maintainer of the union, Ji Xun was more attuned to everyone’s movements within the Ashfall, knowing that even when Lu Ming was ambushed, Ji Liushuang merely had a sudden surge in momentum, showing no intention of intervening, seemingly full of confidence in the former.

Such a display made him increasingly wary of the mysterious organization’s strength.

The remark scolding Ji Ping was less an interrogation and more a declaration of stance.

“I—sorry, I had no choice…”

Now, with everyone watching, the abandoned Ji Ping quickly realized there was no room for excuses, and promptly admitted his fault in a bid to pass the blame.

“They threatened me to do it, and I had no way to oppose two demigods.”

Another demigod?

Ji Ping’s self-defense was uninspiring; however, it did bring a slightly shocking piece of news.

Aside from that guy just now, there was another demigod who hadn’t shown himself.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room grew tenser.

“Because you faced a threat to your life, you’ve dragged the Ji Family into peril? If our family really got involved with the Native Council and it had been discovered, do you know the consequences?”

Old Master Ji Tong by the side, his words laced with barely masked killing intent, spoke up.

“Don’t tell me you knew you would encounter Elder Lu here.”

“Not at all… I just felt, although many things were inappropriate, the miracle that happened to me still holds significant meaning for the family…”

Ji Ping’s defense was somewhat feeble.

“After much internal struggle, I decided to take some risks and bring this information here, then look for a chance to break free…”

It’s significant for you, isn’t it!

Faced with Ji Ping’s explanation, more than one person inwardly disagreed.

His high-sounding words were just a pretext to immediate bargain for control over the Gospel Group.

If it weren’t for the miracle associated with him, how could a treacherous family member even have the standing to make demands?

However, seeing that both Ji Xun and Ji Tong seemed contemplative, the group wisely remained silent.

“Elder Lu, this unworthy descendant of the Ji Family, I leave to your discretion.”

Ji Xun did not remain silent for too long, exchanging a glance with Ji Tong, he directly approached Fu Qian, entering an impartial mode.

“Since he belongs to the Club and also stealthily attacked, feel free to deal with him as you see fit. We absolutely have no objections.”

Oh?

Fu Qian looked at Ji Xun, not taking the cue to speak.

The words sounded right, but if they were so resolute, why not clean their own house under the name of Ji Family elders, which would be entirely justified?

Clearly, whatever Ji Ping possessed was still too valuable; the murderous intent of the two elders was not that firm.

Didn’t you see Ji Ping, although looking dejected, was far from weeping bitterly?

The moment his talent awakened, his first action was to bully those formerly like himself; how could he be this strong at the brink of death?

In a life-or-death moment, everyone’s senses are sharp, and he clearly felt the warmth of his family.

Of course, Fu Qian believed if he really insisted on executing him, he would indeed face no obstacles—Old Master Ji Xun’s trustworthiness was still credible to him.

But this was on Ji Family grounds, and as an outsider, to forcefully do so would be akin to helping the Ji Family make a strong statement.

A life for Ji Ping in exchange for the inability to pursue further matters later, and any further mischief would appear rude on his part.

Even the decision handed over for dealing, considering the circumstances of dealing, he could further probe into his relationship with Ji Liushuang.

Truly a clan elite, maintaining a habit of maximizing interests under any conditions.

What a pity…

In the next moment, Fu Qian coldly smiled, seeming to ignore everyone else, looking instead at Ji Liushuang, who had been sitting calmly there.

As the two exchanged glances for a few seconds, although nothing was said, Ji Liushuang seemed to understand Fu Qian’s intention, nodding slightly the next moment.

“Elder Lu, please escort a friend.”

Escort a friend?

Clearly, she wasn’t referring to sending Ji Ping off, so her intention was…

In the next moment, Demigod Elder Lu without uttering another word, simply strode out the door.

Despite his ragged clothes, his daunting presence couldn’t be concealed.

Not to execute Ji Ping, but to execute those two demigods, all by himself…

That’s quite domineering!

The key is that such excessive calmness somehow makes one vaguely believe he could indeed achieve it.

“Such minor matters, there’s no need to trouble Elder Lu.”

At this time, Ji Liushuang spoke again, drawing the audience’s thoughts back.

“I’ll handle the situation myself.”

Modest, apparently it was with your approval that he won’t bother…

Everyone here is in the same boat; how could they not feel that?

“Such minor matters” left to oneself is always standard practice for leaders.

Yet Ji Liushuang’s cool and gentle voice, reaching the ears of the Ji Family members, provoked much dissent.

Of course, it was just dissent, none daring to underestimate this girl under twenty at this point.

She was even theoretically the next family head…

This aspect, often deliberately overlooked, reminded many at this moment.

“So, Liushuang, how do you think we should handle this?”

In the ensuing brief silence, Old Master Ji Tong finally coughed softly, his tone gentle as he sought opinions.

“Also, I just discussed with Ji Xun that the Gospel Group is of a delicate nature, and likely to be schemed against continuously. It would be best to have someone reliable in charge to ensure it doesn’t corrupt. Are you interested?”

“In terms of management, we can arrange someone to go to the Academy to assist you, so it won’t distract you too much.”
