Shen Yuan Ring

The entire Daoist City became lively because of the Ji family.

Ji Daoyi, still on his way, wore a bitter expression because his beast horse had disappeared.

Ji Dao said angrily, "Damn it, who stole my beast horse? Don't let me find out who it was, or I'll make them understand why the flowers are so red!"

"Could it be that Xiao Hu took your beast horse with him?"

"No, Xiaohu couldn't wait for me, he must have gone home to find my parents first, otherwise my mother wouldn't have come so quickly. It must have been some thief who rode it away."

"Alright, since your beast horse isn't here, you can ride mine back with me later."

"Sister Yueyue, are your beast horses still around?"

"Of course, in a small town not far away, we store the animals and horses at the animal farm to prevent accidents."

......

It was two days later when Ji Daoyi and his group returned to the inner courtyard, because they had stopped frequently along the way to enjoy the scenery.

"Sister Yueyue, Brother Dao, you're finally back! I missed you so much. I thought I'd never see you again." Ji Xiaohu hugged Wang Yueyue and cried his heart out when he saw her and her group return safely.

"Alright, you big man, why are you acting like a girl? Hurry up and get ready, we're going out later."

"Going out? Didn't you just get back? Aren't you going to rest for a bit?"

"You haven't forgotten that we still have two tasks to complete, have you? If it weren't for the fact that you're still with the clan, we wouldn't have come back at this time."

Suddenly, Ji Xiaohu slapped his forehead and said to Wang Yueyue, "Sister Yueyue, the Grand Deacon wants you to go to his place after you come back. It seems like he has something important to discuss with you."

"Alright, I'll go right now. You guys get ready, we'll leave as soon as I get back."

Wang Yueyue was gone for two hours. Ji Daoyi and the others thought that Wang Yueyue had been summoned by the Grand Steward to be punished, otherwise she would not have taken so long to return.

Just as they were heading to the Grand Deacon, they saw Wang Yueyue walking alone on the road, looking absent-minded.

Ji Daoyi and his group rushed forward instantly.

"Sister Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Does the Grand Deacon blame you for this wolf demon incident?"

"No, I'm going to find the Grand Deacon and argue with him. This mission shouldn't be blamed on Sister Yueyue alone; we should all be punished."

"We second that."

So Ji Daoyi was about to take Xiaohu and Wang Dan to confront the Grand Steward.

She realized that her appearance must have caused Ji Daoyi and the others to misunderstand, so she quickly called them to stop.

"Wait, it's not what you think. The Grand Deacon didn't punish me, nor did he say he would punish us."

Wang Yueyue composed herself, briefly recounted what the Grand Steward had told her, and then happily raised her token: "The Grand Steward also gave me the points from this wolf demon mission, which I will pass on to everyone."

"what!"

"what!"

"Does this count as us completing the mission?"

"Of course, you all performed exceptionally well in this mission, especially Ji Daoyi and Ji Xiaohu. You two are the biggest contributors this time."

"And if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have found out so soon. It turns out that my team members all have such important backgrounds. When I saw Dao Yi's mother, I thought that Dao Yi's family must be extraordinary, but I never expected that you would be the young clan leader."

"This is just a useless identity. What I can really rely on outside is my own strength, not the identity of the young master of the family that my parents gave me."

"You have ambition, don't worry. I will train you even better in the future. Don't think that I will flatter you because of your status."

"Ha ha..."

That day, Wang Yueyue led Ji Dao and his group away from the Ji family.

They were about to embark on their next mission—to wipe out the bandits.

This task not only enhances teamwork but also tests each individual's practical skills.

Sanhe Village is a remote village within the Ji family's sphere of influence.

"Sister Yueyue, how come there are bandits in this Sanhe Village area? And this place is so remote, what could they possibly steal here? What surprised me is that there are even cultivators among them."

"The mission didn't say they were robbing in this area! It only said this area, and it's possible their hideout is here! As for you saying cultivators become bandits, do you know how to quickly acquire cultivation resources?"

"Of course it's alchemy. I can obtain a lot of pills by refining them a few times. Not only can I cultivate, but I can also profit from them."

Wang Yueyue shook her head and said, "No! The fastest way to obtain resources is to rob them, and it's risk-free and highly profitable."

"Although seizing resources is a risk-free and highly profitable endeavor, it is also the most dangerous."

"That depends on whether the robber has good judgment. If he encounters someone weaker than himself, he can seize all the resources from that person. If he doesn't have good judgment and is unlucky, he might get killed on the spot."

Just as Wang Yueyue was about to continue, her right ear twitched, and she said, "Someone's coming. I wonder if it's the bandits we're looking for."

Before long, Wang Yueyue, Ji Daoyi, and the others were surrounded by a group of people who suddenly appeared.

Each of them carried a long knife, which looked brand new, as if they had just been bought.

The leader, a burly man, was wearing an eye patch, which made him look fierce and like a bandit.

Seeing the men pointing long knives at her, Wang Yueyue cried out in fear, shielding Ji Daoyi and the others behind her, and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

The one-eyed man didn't answer, but instead shouted to himself, "This road is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass..."

The one-eyed man then went blank, and it was the person next to him who finally shouted out the last words, "Leave the money for your life!"

Wang Yueyue chuckled to herself, amazed that someone would actually use such an old-fashioned line to rob someone, and even forgot what they were saying!

Not to mention the people behind her, they almost burst out laughing. Ji Xiaohu felt like he was going to break his back teeth trying to keep from laughing out loud.

Wang Yueyue said tremblingly, "Please don't kill me. I have no money on me, and I'm struggling to raise five children by myself. I'm sometimes hungry and sometimes full. Where would I get the money to give you? Please spare our lives."

Ji Daoyi and the others nodded in agreement.

"You're lying. Look at that fat guy behind you. Does he look like he's starving? They all have such delicate skin and are obviously from wealthy families. You must be from a rich family too."

"Big brother, you truly live up to your reputation as my eldest brother, your observation is so meticulous. I was almost deceived by their words."

"My admiration for my elder brother is like the endless flow of a river. He is the smartest person I have ever met. Hehe, if this job goes well, we brothers can join the Sanhe Gang."

The praise from the henchmen made One-Eyed Dragon puff out his chest in satisfaction, clearly enjoying the feeling of being flattered.
