I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 98 Ji Huidao

The production crew was all watching the incident closely, and some were even secretly recording it, but no one stopped them.

Originally, some people were dissatisfied with the ancient style because of these things, and they also wanted to see how the authorities would deal with it after the matter blew up and gained public opinion.

However, most people remained indifferent, not wanting to offend anyone, and simply waiting for the matter to escalate so that bigger figures could handle it.

A camera followed Pei Ju all the way to the room where Gu Feng was.

Compared to other spirit catchers, Pei Ju was dressed very plainly and was also younger. Walking down the street, people would only think of him as a young and elegant poor student.

Pei Ju walked ahead. Liu Yi saw everyone watching and didn't dare to look up. She was scared and worried, but many things were beyond her control. At this moment, she couldn't stop them either, and she felt uneasy.

At this moment, Pei Ju saw a person carrying some props walking by, including a prop sword. He casually drew it out and said, "May I borrow your sword?"

The prop master panicked because he thought it was fine for the other party to fight on their own, but if something happened after they used his props to fight, such as killing someone, he was afraid that others would come after him.

So he immediately said, "No, no, you can't. Go get it from somewhere else."

At that moment, someone stopped him. It wasn't the director, but the professor who had been invited by the production team.

He didn't care about what happened in the previous program; he only cared about preventing accidents from happening during the psychic communication. As for personnel matters, he didn't want to get involved because they were complicated, and Liu Yijia hadn't asked him for help.

But now that two extraordinary professionals are about to fight, he naturally has to intervene.

"I am Ji Huidao. May I ask what brings you here, young man?"

Pei Ju did not recognize the man in front of him. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, his hair was combed back, and he looked to be in his fifties, but was actually over sixty. He was wearing a black, antique-style jacket with a white shirt underneath, black trousers, and black shoes.

"Oh, why did you stop me, sir?" Pei Ju swung his sword, bringing it to his waist, a posture perfectly suited for drawing the sword quickly.

The director next to him immediately said, "This is Professor Ji, the chief spiritual director of our program, a professor and senior researcher at the Rakshasa Spiritual Retreat Institute."

Pei Ju had already guessed that he might be someone of great importance, but he wasn't afraid. Liu Yijia, on the other hand, was extremely nervous. She knew that the person in front of her was a big shot, and as a young person, how could she not be afraid?

"Oh, so you're a professor at the Rakshasa Spiritual Retreat Center. Professor Ji is the head instructor here. Are you aware that someone is abusing their position and abilities to do some unethical things?"

“I’m sorry, I don’t know. If someone did this, you can report it to the police. They have broken the law. Even if someone is a superhuman, they cannot do illegal things,” Ji Huidao said firmly.

“I’m sorry, I have no evidence. However, I’ve heard that there are some very capable people here, and I’d like to go and see for myself,” Pei Ju said.

He certainly had no evidence to prove anything. Even if Liu Yijia stood up, it would be difficult to prove anything to others. If she stood up to make accusations, she would fall into the vortex of public opinion. Once in the vortex of public opinion, it is always difficult to get out cleanly.

He also didn't want Liu Yijia to be in the eye of the storm.

"Oh, young brother, you have quite the spirit. May I ask where you come from?" Ji Huidao didn't seem to care about Pei Ju's hostility and asked in a gentle tone, even with a hint of a smile.

"My name is Pei Ju, a first-level swordsman," Pei Ju said. When everyone heard him say he was a first-level swordsman, no one laughed. Anyone who dared to challenge people here couldn't possibly be a true first-level swordsman, but everyone was surprised.

Ji Huidao's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "May I ask, young brother Pei, what is your relationship with Pei Jieyang?"

Pei Ju couldn't help but take another look at the old man in front of him, and said, "It is indeed my grandfather."

"Oh, so the heir of the Pei Clan's Demon-Slaying Sword Hall has returned. In that case, we can go and see who is so capable that he has attracted you, the new head of the Sword Hall, to come looking for him."

Ji Huidao spoke very politely, and the people around him were very surprised to hear that Ji Huidao was so polite to this young man.

Ji Huidao is not only a professor at the school, but also a special-grade researcher. He also holds the position of vice principal, but the appointment has not yet been made, so no one knows about it.

He was qualified to attend the expanded meeting of the Extraordinary Committee and knew a great deal about what was happening in the entire city.

Five years ago, the director of the Cleansing Spirit Bureau died mysteriously. There should have been a thorough investigation, but the Taoist Association issued a report that stated the cause of death of the director of the Cleansing Spirit Bureau. The Taoist Association's intention was clearly not to investigate further, so as not to make things difficult for the Pei Clan's Demon-Slaying Sword Hall.

Of course, there was some negotiation and compromise involved, but in the end, nothing was done to the Pei Clan's Demon-Slaying Sword Hall. They simply took over the sword hall, and recently, he heard that the guild leader returned the sword hall.

He wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but he was certain that the young man in front of him possessed immense power.

Ji Huidao's attitude towards Pei Ju changed, so the others' attitude towards Pei Ju changed from watching the spectacle to exploring and being curious, and their gazes towards Liu Yijia also changed.

After learning that someone had come to see him, Gu Feng sat down and opened the door. Inside, someone silently set up a camera. In their opinion, it was best to have video footage, so that no matter how it was edited later, there would always be video footage to edit.

He heard footsteps; the sounds were numerous and chaotic.

Gu Feng didn't pay attention until he saw the people who appeared at the door. He couldn't help but stand up because Ji Huidao had actually come along. In his opinion, there was no need for Ji Huidao to come. Since Ji Huidao was here, he had to be careful.

"Professor Ji, what brings you here?" Gu Feng asked.

"Oh, this young brother Pei might have some misunderstanding with you. He came to see you and just happened to run into you, so he came along to check on you," Ji Huidao said with a smile.

He continued without stopping, "Among professionals, any misunderstandings should be discussed openly to clear them up; don't keep them bottled up inside."

"Professor Ji is right, but I don't know this person at all. His surname is Pei, right? He is young, but judging from his appearance, he is arrogant and aggressive. I'm afraid he doesn't have good intentions."

He glanced at Liu Yijia, a surge of anger rising within him. In his view, for any random professional to come looking for trouble was an underestimation of him.

"I've heard you like to hold 'baptism' ceremonies. Perfect, I have some experience with that too. Would you like to experience my 'cleansing the mind and purifying the soul'?"

Pei Ju didn't give him any face at all and spoke bluntly.
