Chapter 6114: Close Friends

"It's fine. Aren't we brothers? It's only right that I do this," Xiao Fan said with a smile.

"Brothers, good brothers." Ji Lingkun fell silent for a moment and sighed softly.

"Actually, I don't have any feelings for Yin Shenyue either. Since things have come to this, let nature take its course. Brother Xiao, I wish you both the best."

"Ah? Really?!"

"Really." Ji Lingkun nodded.

"Brother Ji, you are truly reasonable."

Ji Lingkun shook his head with a bitter smile; this matter actually wasn't that big of a deal to him.

Ji Lingkun didn't lack women; he just couldn't swallow his pride.

If someone else had taken Yin Shenyue away, Ji Lingkun wouldn't have been so angry.

But it just had to be Xiao Fan.

"Brother Ji, tell me about yourself. What happened to you?"

"Sigh… That day, after we arrived at the Wuliang Immortal Realm, we were hunted by Ghost Mother Immortal King's people. After getting separated, I kept running. Midway, I used the Xuanyang Ancient Clan's Secret Technique to notify my father to save me, and luckily, I escaped." Ji Lingkun's expression was complex as he spoke of what had happened.

After Ji Lingkun luckily escaped and returned to the Xuanyang Ancient Clan, he thought things could go on as they always had.

But as it turned out, Ji Lingkun was gravely mistaken.

Returning to the Xuanyang Ancient Clan, Ji Lingkun became a laughingstock.

Although he still held the status of Young Lord, Ji Lingkun was too weak.

Although he had reached a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Spirit Realm with the help of the Ancestor of the Xuanyang Ancient Clan's Medicinal Pills, it was still far from enough.

In this situation, the talk within the Xuanyang Ancient Clan about deposing Ji Lingkun as the Young Lord grew more and more intense.

Under these circumstances, to protect his position as Young Lord, Ji Lingkun began to use his marriage contract with Yin Shenyue.

If the Young Lord of the Xuanyin Ancient Clan was still willing to marry Ji Lingkun,

then Ji Lingkun could keep his position as Young Lord.

But regarding this marriage contract, whether it was Yin Shenyue or the Xuanyin Ancient Clan, they were both unwilling.

Furthermore, after Ji Lingkun disappeared, the marriage contract had already been canceled.

It just hadn't been publicly announced.

"That's how it is. Brother Xiao, after returning to the Xuanyang Ancient Clan, my days have been… sigh… unbearable." Ji Lingkun sighed deeply.

As the Young Lord of a clan, he was looked down upon by others.

Ji Lingkun didn't even have the strength to teach those people a lesson.

This matter was indeed quite tragic.

"Brother Ji, you've suffered." Xiao Fan patted Ji Lingkun's shoulder.

"Brother Xiao, how did you escape afterward?" Ji Lingkun was curious.

Xiao Fan smiled and briefly recounted his experiences.

Ji Lingkun looked full of admiration and gave Xiao Fan a thumbs-up.

"I really didn't expect that you would be so formidable, Brother Xiao, to be able to escape from such a desperate situation. I'm impressed, truly impressed," Ji Lingkun said with admiration.

"It was alright, just good luck," Xiao Fan said with a bitter smile.

His experience was also very dangerous; if not for luck, he might have been caught by the Ghost Mother Immortal King.

Xiao Fan and Ji Lingkun talked for a long time, and the misunderstanding between them was resolved.

Although they weren't exactly friends before, they had, after all, faced life and death together once.

Ji Lingkun had no feelings for Yin Shenyue; if she was with Xiao Fan, then so be it.

Anyway, even if Xiao Fan hadn't come out of seclusion, Yin Shenyue wouldn't have married Ji Lingkun.

"Brother Xiao, what are your plans for coming to the Xuanyang Ancient Clan? A sparring match?" Ji Lingkun asked.

"Exactly, to defeat the younger generation of your Xuanyang Ancient Clan." Xiao Fan nodded.

"Hahaha… Good, very good. Brother Xiao, you must beat them up severely." Ji Lingkun laughed. "Especially! Ji Lingqian."

"Ji Lingqian? Who is he?!" Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment.

"My cousin. His talent isn't as good as mine, but now… he's eyeing the position of the Xuanyang Ancient Clan's Young Lord greedily. Since I returned, he has been targeting me." Ji Lingkun smiled bitterly.

"Alright, I understand. Leave it to me. But… what is this Ji Lingqian's Realm?"

"Fourth level of the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm."

Hearing this, Xiao Fan frowned and hesitated for a moment.

"Brother Xiao, if you can't win, don't force it," Ji Lingkun said anxiously.

"No! If it's just the fourth level of the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm, I can handle it, but when I was at the Tianxu Ancient Clan…" Xiao Fan sighed softly.

He briefly explained that there was very little Power of the Mortal Immortal left in his body.

"If it were against ordinary people, it wouldn't be much, but against a Prodigy like Ji Lingqian at the fourth level of the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm, it would probably be very taxing."

"This… Brother Xiao, I might be able to think of a way."

"Oh? What way?"

"Our Xuanyang Ancient Clan has many Treasure Lands. With my status as Young Lord, I can take you there."

"Is that okay?"

"What's not okay about it? We're brothers." Ji Lingkun laughed.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Ji." Xiao Fan nodded.

Ji Lingkun didn't hold anything back and immediately took Xiao Fan to the Xuanyang Ancient Clan's Treasure Lands.

…

Inside the main hall.

Wu Tongtian had just mentioned the matter of the competition.

"Hahaha… That's fine. It's also acceptable for everyone to have a sparring match." The Ancestor of the Xuanyang Ancient Clan nodded.

"That would naturally be best." Wu Tongtian took a sip of tea.

At this moment, someone came to report to the Ancestor of the Xuanyang Ancient Clan, saying that Ji Lingkun had taken Xiao Fan to the Xuanyang Ancient Clan's Secret Realm.

"Hmm? Why?!" The Ancestor of the Xuanyang Ancient Clan was stunned.

"I don't know."

The Ancestor of the Xuanyang Ancient Clan nodded, took out a Jade Slip, and sent a message to ask Ji Lingkun why he was bringing an outsider to the Xuanyang Ancient Clan's Secret Realm.

Ji Lingkun replied, telling the Ancestor of the Xuanyang Ancient Clan that he and Xiao Fan were close friends.
