Chapter 1807 - 928: Keep Playing Music, Keep Dancing (Part 2)

Ji Jue turned his head and looked behind with a half-smile: "If this is supposed to be a pop quiz, isn't it a bit too difficult?"

Yellow Beard's expression suddenly grew more complicated, staring hard at that face. After a long while, he suddenly asked:

"How did you do it?"

Logically speaking, you should first apologize, then stabilize the situation, and quickly make amends. Simultaneously, emphasize and clarify as quickly as possible that this was not Beifeng's intention, so please don't misunderstand...

In the end, Beifeng is at fault for this. Ji Jue making it out unscathed today is already lucky.

But the nature of the situation changed subtly when Ji Jue, seemingly effortlessly and without breaking a sweat, managed to snatch two acres of ancestral land from under the suppression and blockade of North Wind Workshop...

Sorry for causing you trouble, but can you first tell me how you got the key to my home's safe?

What do you mean your secret passage opens in my family's shrine?

Don't you have something to say to me!

If I hadn't discovered this today, how long were you planning to keep it from me?

With all this provocation, the blood vessels on Yellow Beard's bald head were pulsing wildly, and his blood pressure was about to burst.

"Ahaha, just... like this, and then like that... and then this again..."

Ji Jue opened his eyes filled with innocence like a college student and smiled innocently: "In short, it's a long story, consider it a trade secret."

"..."

Yellow Beard's eye twitched violently.

In the silence, his overburdened brain vessels seemed about to explode.

There's no help for it, Ji Jue also didn't know what to say... Should he tell you that this is the power of his treasured Exotic Blessing: Life and Death?

With the inward control flipped through his palm, turned into outward plunder, combined with the effect of Jing Zhen, forcefully breaking a gap in the workshop's suppression, and taking away a piece of land...

If this got out, people in the Association would probably start hyping up the Ji Jue threat theory again.

It would seem as if he wouldn't be a threat without this ability.

However, at this point, dwelling on this topic is clearly unreasonable, better hurry to reclaim the victim's role and scrape out some compensation, that's the proper thing to do!

"But speaking of which, Beifeng's security doesn't seem so good, does it?"

Ji Jue sighed, glancing at the explosive steel furnace and without hesitation shifted the blame: "Isn't the local custom here a bit too overly enthusiastic?"

Even if I have a tiny bit of fault, taking a step back, do you mean to say there's no problem with Beifeng?!

Yellow Beard, speak up!

Yellow Beard remained silent.

With a face turning dark blue, he looked behind him.

The craftsmen who were still in shock, at Yellow Beard's shout, immediately reacted like seasoned soldiers, with the fastest reaction.

Under their combined suppression, the 'apprentice' didn't even have time to escape and was knocked down, arms twisted, knees penetrated, spiritual power locked, and to prevent poisoning suicide, his jaw was smashed, and every tooth was pulled out.

"Why are you still standing there?" Yellow Beard asked: "Didn't you hear the guest's question?"

Instantly, the silent craftsmen nodded slightly and quickly dragged away the apprentice who nearly messed everything up just now.

"This is my responsibility. Beifeng will give you an explanation, I assure you." Taking a deep breath, Yellow Beard gave his promise: "If you're not assured, you can also participate in the interrogation, I don't mind."

"No need."

Ji Jue waved his hand, completely indifferent.

Assassination?

It's so familiar, occurrences like these happen to him as frequently as meals and drinks... Almost numb from how routine they are.

He only reacted after hiding the Wolf's malicious perception, waiting for the opponent to strike, otherwise, he would've twisted the attacker's head off and kicked it like a ball the moment he stepped into the workshop.

Recalling the growing intense malice and uncontrollable hatred he sensed during the tour, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh and patted Yellow Beard on the shoulder.

"Every family has its own troubles, huh."

The emphasis and conservatism on heritage by craftsmen are evident, and it's understandable that someone in North Wind Workshop doesn't want the preparation and production of rune steel to spread.

Actually, for them to tolerate letting me see everything and then make a move, they already have broad minds.

It seems now that there are also people within Beifeng who don't want me to be around.

Upon hearing this, Yellow Beard was silent for a moment, his expression suddenly became complicated.

Like receiving a report or reply from the other side, he looked at Ji Jue with helplessness.

"The result just came out, and this incident... has nothing to do with Beifeng."

"Hm?"

Ji Jue was momentarily stunned, then suddenly realized: "Is it a Northern Cities insider? Indeed, my death or severe injury in Beifeng would be very beneficial for the Northern Alliance currently at war with the Northern Realm..."

"It's not from the Northern Alliance either."

"Uh?" Ji Jue smacked his forehead: "It can't be the remaining seeds from West Sea?"

Yellow Beard shook his head.

"The You Sui companions?"

Yellow Beard shook his head again.

"Central Earth's arms dealers?"

Yellow Beard shook his head yet again.

"Then it's East City's revenge!"

Yellow Beard shook his head until it was numb.

"Desert Market's anonymous assassination bounty?"

"..."

Yellow Beard couldn't take it anymore, veins popping out: "Just how many people have you pissed off?!"

Ji Jue fell silent for a moment, then gave an innocent smile, shrugging:

"Quite a few..."

Honestly, he doesn't know why so many people have a problem with him!

He's just an honest craftsman, a straightforward businessman trying to open a factory, screw some screws, and make some small business to earn money, why can't people tolerate him?
