When the morning sun rose, Ji Tianxing finished his practice and walked out of the secret room.
After a night of practice, his strength improved by another 30%, and the power of the sword embryo became even stronger.
He washed himself and started to have breakfast.
At this time, a young guard quickly walked into Qingfeng Courtyard, came outside the room and said respectfully: "Young Master, I have sent a message for you to go to the study."
Ji Tianxing put down his bowl and chopsticks, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: "Father is looking for me? Is that something that has come to an end?"
He quickly walked out of the room and hurried to the study room where his father lived.
When he saw his father, Ji Changkong was busy in the study, his expression solemn and focused.
Seeing Ji Tianxing coming, Ji Changkong put down the accounting paper in his hand and rubbed his brows tiredly.
"Tian Xing, come here quickly, my father has something to tell you." Ji Changkong waved to him with a solemn expression.
Ji Tianxing hurriedly walked to his father's side, glanced at the books on the desk, and knew what was going on.
"Father, do you have any clues about the Dongjiao Workshop?"
"Yes." Ji Changkong nodded, with a gloomy expression, and said in a low voice: "I have checked the accounts of the Dongjiao Workshop. There is no record of the batch of goods Xu Zifeng traded in Taiye Town, and there is no record of the workshop owner and Ji Ru
The hand contract of the wind."
Ji Tianxing had expected this for a long time and was not surprised. He asked: "Father, have you investigated the second uncle? Was he instigating this matter?"
Ji Changkong raised his eyebrows, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I am asking Jianyingtang to investigate him secretly. I can't confront him face to face yet, the time has not come yet."
"But I am 80% sure that this incident must have been instigated by him. In the past ten years, his ambitions have become more and more ambitious, and he has made many moves in secret. Now he is becoming more and more bold."
Ji Tianxing asked again: "Father, have you found out who the person who traded with Xu Zifeng is?"
"The middle-aged man in the lead has a horse face and very distinctive features."
When talking about this issue, Ji Changkong was silent for a while.
He seemed a little hesitant whether to tell Ji Tianxing the result.
After thinking about it for a while, he lowered his voice and spoke the result.
"Tianxing, Jianyingtang has found out that the person who traded with Xu Zifeng is one of the diners of Lingyan Palace."
"A diner from Lingyan Palace?" Ji Tianxing's pupils suddenly tightened, and a flash of shock flashed through his eyes.
"Is he the master that the young prince has won over?"
Diners are guests, who are talented people and strangers who are taken in by rich and powerful people and work hard for their families.
The young prince Ji Ling was well-connected and courteous to virtuous people, so he attracted many experts and talents to work for him.
Ji Tianxing never expected that he would be the one who secretly traded with Xu Zifeng to buy the Ji family's Xuanbing sword!
He frowned and asked Ji Changkong in confusion: "Father, the young prince has purchased many Xuanbing swords from our Ji family over the years."
"It stands to reason that the official generals in Luoyan and Yanzhou are basically fully equipped. Even if he wants to replenish weapons for the generals, he can just go through the official accounts, why do he deal in secret?"
Ji Changkong shook his head and said solemnly: "Official transactions are still the same as before. They have been inspected and reviewed by the royal family. There are no problems."
"But the young prince purchased the Xuanbing sword not for the generals of Luo Yan and the two states, but for his own personal use."
"Tian Xing, there is something that my father never told you. Three years ago, the young prince came to me in private and wanted to buy a large number of Xuan-level weapons from the Ji family at a low price. The purpose is unknown."
"This matter is of great importance. If the royal family notices it accidentally, they will be accused of treason, so my father flatly refused."
"My father thought that he had given up on this idea, but I didn't expect that he secretly colluded with Ji Rufeng and made private deals... It seems that this person is very ambitious, and he may have other plans!"
Ji Tianxing became more and more shocked. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's it!"
"The young prince Ji Ling appears to be benevolent and virtuous, but he didn't expect that the city is so deep!"
"Father, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise when the exposed incident happens, I'm afraid the Ji family will also be implicated and cause a huge disaster!"
Ji Changkong nodded in agreement and said: "My father understands that the sword wielders of Jianyingtang are investigating this matter with all their strength, and they must get to the bottom of it!"
Ji Tianxing trusted both his father and Jianyingtang, so he nodded and said nothing more.
At this time, a middle-aged guard suddenly rushed outside the study room and reported in an anxious tone: "Master, something serious has happened!"
"Ling Sihai, the head of the Ling family, led many experts and blocked the entrance of our Ji Mansion!"
Ji Changkong and Ji Tianxing changed their expressions at the same time. They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought to himself: "Could it be that Ling Yunfei was crippled by me and Ling Sihai came to the house to seek revenge in anger?"
"But this shouldn't be the case! No matter how angry Ling Sihai is, he won't come to Ji's house because of this, right?"
Ji Changkong also frowned and asked the guard in a deep voice: "What's going on? What does the Ling family want to do? Start a war with the Ji family?"
The middle-aged guard quickly raised his hands and replied: "Sir, Ling Sihai said that you must hand over the eldest young master today, so that the eldest young master can pay with blood and Ling Yunfei with his life!"
"Master, go and have a look! Ling Sihai has brought eight masters, and he even said that if you don't show up, he will lead people into the house!"
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing and Ji Changkong changed their expressions at the same time, and exclaimed: "Ling Yunfei is dead?"
"She's actually dead?"
Ji Tianxing frowned fiercely, his face became as gloomy as ice, and deep doubts flashed in his eyes.
He secretly thought: "Impossible! Last night I only disabled Ling Yunfei's skills, and she was rescued. With her injuries at the time, she would never die!"
"What's more, Ling Yunfei carries healing elixirs with her, and the Ling family is a family of elixirs. There is no way she will die."
"Someone must have killed her and deliberately put the blame on me!"
Of course Ji Changkong knew that there was something fishy about this matter.
He saw Ji Tianxing's strange expression and asked, "Tianxing, do you know what's going on?"
Ji Tianxing did not hide anything, and said truthfully: "Father, last night I asked Ling Yunfei to meet in the plum garden in the western suburbs, and I had a fight with her. I destroyed her Dantian and disabled her skills."
"However, just when I was about to kill her, she was rescued by a man in black. With her injuries at the time, it was definitely not fatal."
Ji Changkong's eyes flashed with light, and his face turned happy, "That's great! Tian Xing, I never thought that your strength would recover so quickly!"
"That Ling Yunfei has the fifth level of True Yuan Realm strength, but you were able to defeat her and even destroy her Dantian!"
"Hmph! She was the one who caused your skills to be disabled before, and she suffered great humiliation. Not to mention that you disabled her Dantian, even if you kill her with a sword, she deserves it!"
Ji Tianxing remained silent and said nothing, but secretly muttered in his heart: "My father is really protective of me to the extreme..."
"Ling Sihai brought people to the house to kill him, but my father is still happy that I have regained my strength."
