Above all spirits

Chapter 65 Ji Ning: An Ordinary Person

The next morning.

The street was noisy with people.

But it's not hard to tell that they're all related to what happened yesterday.

"Have you heard? It seems the Lin family has offended a powerful figure. The entire Lin family compound is now surrounded!"

"Really? I have to go check it out right away!"

"Seriously, last night at Zuixianju, it felt like an earthquake. It shook me out of bed several times."

"You're a two-dimensional character, aren't you?!"

"Anyway, it was quite a commotion, didn't you hear it? Several unlucky passersby were accidentally injured, and not a single piece of flesh was left!"

"Huh? I didn't hear it. I sleep like a log, but my wife did hear it."

"Hey, do you know which iron plate the Lin family mentioned?"

"Could it be from Zuixianju? I've heard Zuixianju has quite a prestigious background?"

"I don't think so. Although they all come from the Empire, not many people come from Zuixianju."

...

However, how could the common people in Lanyu City know about the top families in Canglan Imperial Capital?

Thinking of Ji Ning's sudden change of stance last night, Gu Yun couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Originally, Ji Ning and Gu Yun's first intention was definitely to represent Zuixianju, since they initially only planned to make some personal profit.

It's unclear whether Lin Ping's behavior stimulated him or inspired him.

Ji Ning found that Gu Yun, as a demon, was surprisingly "easy to talk to." To be honest, Gu Yun felt more like a human being than other demons who only acted based on self-interest.

Therefore, he immediately changed his stance from representing Zuixianju to representing the Ji family of the capital.

After all, the reconstruction of the Zuixianju branch restaurant would at most yield only a few dollars.

At worst, the Ji family can provide the funds.

The one who can seize the opportunity to be the first to take a bite of the Lin family's big cake is the one who will win.

If you go too late, you might not even be able to get any soup.

That was Ji Ning's purpose.

They hoped that Gu Yun could serve as a guest of the Ji family, just in name only, so that the Ji family could rightfully annex the Lin family.

although!

The Lin family of Lanyu City is indeed no match for the Ji family of the capital.

The two are worlds apart.

However, the Ji family has its eyes on more than just the Lin family's assets.

More importantly, it's about the Lin family's various intangible status, resources, and connections in Lanyu City.

After all, what would everyone think of someone who could successfully replace the Lin family?

They are undoubtedly the second Lin family.

This indirectly gave them control over half of Blue Universe City.

This is the core.

Of course, Ji Ning assured Gu Yun that the Ji family would never engage in such shady businesses.

"Brother! Brother!"

"here!"

Gu Yun frowned slightly, and in a flash, he arrived downstairs to the white-clad man waving at him without any regard for his image.

Who else could it be but Ji Ning?

"Didn't I tell you not to call me that?"

After their long conversation last night, Ji Ning seemed to have figured out Gu Yun's temperament. She reached out and hooked her arm around Gu Yun's shoulder, pleading without a trace of apology in her eyes.

"Hey, big brother, just accept me as your little brother! Didn't you say you're only 24? I'm 23, it's perfectly reasonable!"

Gu Yun pulled Ji Ning's hand away and said calmly.

"You believe the words of the devil?"

indeed.

Last night, Gu Yun and Ji Ning talked a lot. After all, Ji Ning's perspective was sufficient for Gu Yun to understand the overall situation on Canglan Star, so Gu Yun didn't mind talking to him for a long time.

Overall, the two got along quite well. Gu Yun didn't dislike Ji Ning's personality, while Ji Ning concluded that Gu Yun wasn't like a demon at all, but rather more like a human being.

Ji Ning grinned, like a child.

"I will naturally believe what my elder brother says!"

He didn't care about any of that.

Even though Ji Ning had despised and scorned Lin Ping's fawning attitude just a few hours earlier.

They considered it unbearable to look at.

But ever since he saw Lin Ping achieve results by licking Gu Yun's body.

He suddenly also awakened to this constitution.

The past is the past, the present is the present!

In front of others, he was one of the top ten geniuses in the capital.

He is a supreme and powerful figure, worthy of admiration.

It's one thing to act aloof and pretentious in front of ordinary people.

In front of Gu Yun, he was just a little karaomi, and all he had to do was obediently lick her.

because!

His intuition told him!

The amount you invest in Gu Yun will be proportional to the amount you receive in the end!

Gu Yun shook his head helplessly.

"As you wish."

"Are we ready to leave? I'll go call Qing'er and Hongxiu downstairs."

Ji Ning nodded, but then seemed to remember something, and a look of concern appeared on her face.

"Brother, actually I've always felt there's no need to reveal your identity or just put you in the public eye like this, is that right?"

Gu Yun shook his head, interrupting Ji Ning's attempt to speak.

"Are you trying to say someone is the target of public criticism?"

Ji Ning looked puzzled and explained his opinion.

After all, although the Ji family could gain the greatest benefit in this way, and might even gain an additional city to strengthen their power, it would be a great sacrifice for Gu Yun.

“That’s right. Because of this, it will be very difficult for you to do business with demon contracts in the future, at least in the capital. After all, no demon would put itself on the opposite side of the majority of people.”

Gu Yun explained patiently.

"Didn't you also see that I'm different from other demons? Can't you? I can make a contract, but it's not mandatory."

“The powerful families in Canglan Imperial Capital are not limited to your Ji family. If I were just an ordinary ninth-level Saint Body cultivator, I would probably not only incur the displeasure of the royal family, but other families would also definitely try to seize this piece of fat meat.”

"After all, everyone understands the principle of ebb and flow."

"However, although the royal family of the Canglan Empire does not allow powerful families like yours to expand their influence, it has signed a non-interference pact with the demon gods."

"Demons are driven by profit, and gods are stubborn and opinionated, so it is generally difficult for them to cooperate with families."

"To maximize profits, the only way is to expose my identity as a demon, so that those who are eager to act will suppress their restless hearts."

Ji Ning quickly seized the opportunity to flatter him.

"Big Brother is still the best; he is truly a dragon among demons."

"By the way, elder brother, my father also really wanted to meet you after hearing about this last night. Could we go together before taking Miss Hongxiu to choose a cultivation method?"

"After all, the Ji family's strength will definitely increase greatly after this incident, thanks to my elder brother's contributions..."

Gu Yun really didn't want to listen to these back-and-forth, polite exchanges anymore, so he waved his hand.

"Alright, alright."

"Now that I've decided to side with your Ji family, there are some things that naturally need to be discussed with the leaders of your clan. I'll have your father come along then."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ning scratched his head awkwardly and glanced at Gu Yun apologetically.

Damn, we talked so much yesterday and he completely forgot to explain this.

I didn't think that much about it at first.

got used to.

She clearly didn't have the guts to act tough in front of Gu Yun.

But it seems I have no choice but to pretend.

"that..."

"In fact, my father is the highest-ranking person in the Ji family."

"Haha, big brother, there's no other way. When you're out and about, you have to keep your background hidden to get the most out of your training. Otherwise... haha."

It really is.

Ji Ning is an ordinary, unremarkable person.

Ji Fu had some rights.
