Ji Ruyue glanced at a few people but did not speak. Instead, she said to Qin Chen, “Qin Chen, let’s go in!”
Qin Chen nodded and cupped his hands, saying, “Farewell, everyone!”
He had no intention of getting involved with this group.
“Wait a moment, meeting each other is fate, but not even mentioning names or backgrounds is a bit excessive, isn’t it?”
Wei Xingguang from the Ancient Fang Sect suddenly appeared in front of Qin Chen and the others. Ji Ruyue ignored his question, which was rather dismissive of their presence.
“What do you mean by that? Do you want to make a move?” Ji Ruyue coldly snorted. In front of outsiders, she immediately regained her pride.
“Of course not. I just want to understand your backgrounds. I, an old man, have never seen you before in the Ancient Yu Realm, so it’s not unreasonable to be curious about your origins, is it?”
Although Ji Ruyue was stunningly beautiful, she was merely a peak mid-stage Martial Emperor. For her to act so presumptuously in front of him made him secretly furious.
“Who do you think you are? What right do you have to doubt me? Scram!”
“You…”
Wei Xingguang was furious, a killing intent suddenly enveloping him. Ji Ruyue was too disrespectful.
“Buzz!” But before he could speak, a chilling aura enveloped him. Turning to look, it was the man in black, his gaze icy as he stared at Wei Xingguang, a sharp killing intent radiating from him, as if he would strike at any moment.
“Brother Shang, Brother Yue, are you just going to stand by and watch?” Wei Xingguang felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly spoke, not knowing why, but under the black-clad man's gaze, he felt as if he were being watched by a fierce beast, as if at that moment he had become prey, and the other party was ready to swallow him alive.
“It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding.” Shang Wuji quickly stepped forward, smiling, his attitude very sincere. He turned to Wei Xingguang and said, “Brother Wei, you’ve gone too far. Since these young friends do not wish to speak, why push them?”
“I…”
Wei Xingguang was enraged. What was wrong with Shang Wuji? First, he was acting chummy with Qin Chen, and now for a woman, he said such things—this was too much. He was about to speak when he saw Shang Wuji smiling at Ji Ruyue, saying, “This young lady, if I’m not mistaken, you should be from the Law Enforcement Palace, right? The Law Enforcement Palace truly lives up to its reputation as the law enforcement organization of our Martial Domain, with extraordinary talents. I, Shang, admire it greatly. Compared to my Fog Hidden Sect, it’s far superior!”
Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui were instantly shocked. What? They were from the Law Enforcement Palace? But the two quickly realized this was likely true.
At the Ancient Yu Realm square, although powerful figures and prodigies from all factions had gathered, there were two factions that were sure to come but did not show up at that time: Piao Miao Palace and the Law Enforcement Palace.
“Elder Shang Wuji, you flatter me. I am Ji Ruyue, a descendant of the Ji family. This is my senior from the Law Enforcement Palace.” Shang Wuji was polite, and naturally, Ji Ruyue couldn’t be overly arrogant, so she nodded in acknowledgment.
“Hiss!”
They really were from the Law Enforcement Palace.
The expressions of the rest of the crowd changed drastically, and Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui were particularly uneasy. This was too unfortunate; they only wanted to know about a few people and ended up provoking someone from the Law Enforcement Palace.
Moreover, one of them was a disciple of the Ji family.
The Ji family was a hidden aristocratic family in the Martial Domain. Although they rarely appeared, they were definitely one of the top forces in the Martial Domain and could not be underestimated at all.
“It turns out you are from the Law Enforcement Palace; we were presumptuous earlier.”
“My apologies, my apologies!”
Wei Xingguang and Yue Zhongkui hurriedly said, their attitudes softening significantly. The other martial artists saw their elders yielding, which made them even more hesitant to act recklessly.
