Old Master Chu: "Your little grandson is just so lovable."
Old Master Ji sneered, "He's my grandson, so get the hell out of my sight!"
It was obvious that Old Master Ji was extremely unhappy that Chu Mo had abducted his grandson. His grandson had just been found! He was already annoyed just looking at that Chu guy!
Old Master Chu: "Did you eat gunpowder?" This old man Ji is completely baffled!
"Ha!" He turned and left.
"Hey, you better explain yourself!"
"..."
Others:... Never mind, let them be.
After acknowledging these elders, Ji Nanshu was sent to find the Ji Xingyao brothers.
The rest area here was filled with young masters and ladies from various prominent families in the Imperial Capital. Most of their gazes towards Ji Nanshu, this child who had been found halfway through his life, were filled with disdain and contempt. After all, he hadn't received a proper education; who knew what kind of person he was?
I heard she's a minor celebrity. She's so good-looking, but whether she's clean or not is another matter. In the end, the celebrity profession is something they consider completely beneath them.
Ji Nanshu glanced at the young masters and ladies present, but didn't see his brothers. Just as he was about to leave, a girl in a pink princess dress and high heels stood arrogantly in front of Ji Nanshu, holding a wine glass. "You're Ji Nanshu?"
Ji Nanshu lowered his eyes to look at the short man in front of him, a hint of interest flashing in them. Was this little dwarf here to cause trouble?
The next second, the girl shoved her wine glass into the hand of her girlfriend and pulled out a notebook. " Shubao!! Can you sign this for me?!"
The others, who thought there was going to be a good show:? Turns out she's just a little fangirl.
Chen Rui scoffed, "Looks like Young Master Ji is quite popular; even our Duoduo likes him so much. A big star must have a lot of talents, right?"
Chen Rui's followers immediately understood the meaning of those words and egged her on, saying, "Big star, sing a song!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Come on, sing one!"
Of course, only a small minority joined in the commotion; most people remained neutral, just watching the show, not causing trouble.
The girl named Duoduo frowned. "Who is your Duoduo? Don't be afraid, Shubao! When Brother Xu and Brother Chu Mo arrive, these people won't dare to do it!"
" Duoduo..." The girl next to her tugged at her, trying to stop her from confronting Chen Rui.
Everyone in this circle knows that Chen Rui of the Chen Family is madly in love with Chu Mo. Anyone who shows any interest in Chu Mo or gets close to Chu Mo will face Chen Rui's furious revenge.
This young master of the Ji Family seems innocent and harmless, but who knows if he might... If he were to implicate himself and his family, then keeping quiet and not taking sides is the best course of action right now, since they can't afford to offend either the Chen Family or Ji Family.
Lian Duoduo stomped her foot. "I just can't stand them bullying my Idol!"
Chen Rui exclaimed in surprise, "Bullying? What makes you say that? You think I'm bullying people because of the Chen Family's influence? Did I say something wrong? Isn't he a big star? Big stars definitely have talents; it's just singing a song."
"You..."
Ji Nanshu interrupted Lian Duoduo, coldly saying, "Who do you think you are? You dare to challenge me?"
Just then, Ji Xingyao appeared. Upon hearing Ji Nanshu's words, his first reaction was that his beloved younger brother had been bullied. He glanced at everyone present and asked, "What happened?"
"Third Brother."
Ji Xingyao patted Ji Nanshu's head. " An'an, is someone bullying you? Tell your third brother, and see if he doesn't kill them."
Lian Duoduo was furious and rattled off the whole story.
Ji Xingyao's brows furrowed so deeply they could trap dozens of flies. " Chen Rui, who do you think you are? You think you're worthy of having my An'an sing for you?"
Chen Rui opened her eyes wide innocently. " Xingyao, that's not right. We're just curious, it's a celebrity!"
Just as Ji Xingyao was about to launch into a tirade, Ji Nanshu spoke up, "I do have talent, but... I don't know if you can handle it."
" The Chen Family, right? Then I'll tell your Chen Family."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a reprimand came from behind them, " Chen Rui! Apologize to Mr. Ji!"
Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Chen Anbang from the Chen Family, with Shu Cheng and Pei Huai standing to the side.
"Big brother? Why should I apologize? What did I do wrong?" Why should he apologize? This wild child who has lived outside for almost twenty years, what right does he have to make the dignified eldest daughter of the Chen Family apologize to him!
Chen Anbang: "Apologize!"
Chen Rui was so aggrieved she was about to cry, but she bit her lip and remained silent.
Ji Nanshu smiled slightly, "No need."
Chen Anbang glared at Chen Rui and said, " Mr. Ji, it is my Chen Family's fault for not raising her properly. I will bring her to apologize tomorrow."
Chen Anbang's attitude baffled everyone else. Wait, is this young master they found really that arrogant? Even Chen Anbang treats him with utmost respect—just who is he?! The Chen Family is at least one of the four great families of the Imperial Capital; for such a small matter, a formal apology is a bit too much!
"What are you all doing gathered here?" This was Ji Xingxu as he returned from the restroom.
Ji Xingyao crossed his arms. "They bullied An'an. Oh, mainly Chen Rui. They seem to look down on our family."
Ji Xingxu: "Yes, I've noted it all down. I'll tell my older brother later."
There was absolutely no chance for Ji Nanshu to speak.
The Ji Family's precious darling only needs to be happy; they can worry about these annoying things.
Upon hearing this, the others became restless, apologized to Ji Nanshu, and quickly left the rest area.
If we don't leave now, the Chen Family and Ji Family will really hate us!!
After everyone else left, Chen Anbang apologized again, looking embarrassed. "Um... Mr. Ji, I'm so sorry! My sister is spoiled, and... well, never mind. I'll give her a good talking to when I get back!"
"Education?" Ji Nanshu shook his head. "Are you sure your sister was really educated every time she made a mistake?"
If they were truly educated, why would they have incurred blood debts? Inexperienced exorcists like Chen Anbang couldn't see it, but Ji Nanshu, a master exorcist of the Transformation Realm, could see it at a glance.
Chen Anbang was shocked. " Mr. Ji, what does this mean?!"
Could it be that Xiao Rui is facing a terrible disaster?!
Ji Nanshu said calmly, "Your sister has blood on her hands."
