Xiuxian, I can travel to another world
Chapter 427 Determined
Chapter 427 Determined
After the original owner's birth mother died, his father took two more wives in order to continue the Zhu family bloodline, and they had several children.
Zhu Ji was the eldest son of the second wife. He was arrogant from a young age, but he always appeared honest and obedient in front of the original owner of the body.
Today, however, he has a completely different face, with an expression that looks like he wants to devour people.
Behind him were several other people, including elderly people from the mansion, guards, and a man and a woman dressed in blue.
The man was around thirty years old and had a strong scholarly air about him.
The woman was young and beautiful, but her eyes had a cold quality that gave off an impression that strangers should stay away.
Green Robe Gang!
People wearing blue robes are common, but the attire of the Blue Robe Gang is distinctly different from that of ordinary blue robes.
If you have a good eye, you can even tell someone's social status from their clothes.
"Whether he has lost his primordial spirit or not still needs to be examined before a conclusion can be drawn." The man pressed down with one hand to quell the noise in the arena and asked Zhu Ju:
Do you still remember who I am?
"Guo Jie, the steward of the Central Guard," Zhu Ju said weakly, lying on the bed, his face pale.
"The reputation of the sick scholar Guo is known to everyone in Taiyuan Prefecture."
“I met you, senior, at a banquet at the Li residence a month ago.”
He sighed and said:
“My son is impudent and doesn’t know any better. It’s my fault for troubling Senior Guo to make this trip.”
"Hmm." Guo Jie smiled.
"Not bad!"
"He is lucid and doesn't seem to have been blinded by demons or ghosts. This trip seems to have been unnecessary."
"Senior." Zhu Ji's expression changed drastically.
"Zhu Ju has never practiced martial arts; he's just an ordinary person. How could he possibly escape from four burly men?"
"and……"
"Moreover, he suffered a severe head injury and was already dead. Now something must have taken over his body."
"Perhaps he is entirely a demon in disguise!"
Guo Jie shook his head speechlessly.
He simply couldn't understand Zhu Ji's insistence, did he really think that possession and demonic transformation were simple?
A master capable of possessing another's body must be at least a fifth-rank cultivator, and there might not be one like them in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture.
Demons can easily transform, but they won't retain the original body's memories.
unless……
Zhu Ji was certain that Zhu Ju was dead, which is why he was so terrified when he saw the living Zhu Ju.
As the thought crossed his mind, he subconsciously glanced at Zhu Ji, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Let me do it."
At this moment, the beautiful woman who had been silent stepped forward, took out a golden needle, and said:
"Young Master Zhu, I need to take a drop of your blood to verify your identity."
"Thank you for your trouble." Zhu Ju propped himself up, stretched out his arm, and asked curiously:
"Could it be Venerable Ming Nianwei?"
Although this world is dominated by martial arts, there are also people who practice magic. The Green Robe Gang has a special hall for magicians to support these practitioners.
Ming Nianwei is young, but she is a prodigy in cultivating magic and is said to have received the true teachings of a master.
"it's me."
With a stinging pain in her fingertips, Ming Nianwei picked a drop of blood from Zhu Ju's hand and dripped it onto a palm-sized jade plate.
Followed by.
Two soft, faint lights appeared and gradually merged together.
"no problem."
Ming Nianwei nodded:
"It is indeed of the Zhu family bloodline, not an alien transformation."
Zhu Ju looked at the jade plate in her hand with some curiosity. This item was called the Blood Detection Plate. It could not only identify whether someone was human or a demon, but also find out whether two people were related by blood and whether they were biologically related through blood.
The Green Robe Gang has Zhu family blood, so they can use this treasure to find out if Zhu Ju is the real person.
'A very clever tactic, what a pity...'
'Useless against me!'
Even setting aside the fact that Zhu Juwei never fully took over the original body, his physical body still retained a portion of the original bloodline.
Even if he were to change his appearance, with his methods of manipulating bloodlines, he was confident that he could make his blood perfectly adapt.
After taking the blood-testing plate, Ming Nianwei flipped her hand, revealing an ancient-looking bronze mirror in her palm.
She held up a bronze mirror and waved it at Zhu Ju, and a young man's face immediately appeared in the mirror.
His appearance was exactly the same as Zhu Ju's.
"The primordial spirit is unified, and it is not a case of possession or rebirth."
Ming Nianwei nodded:
"Deacon Guo, everything is normal." "Thank you for your trouble, Master Ming." Guo Jie smiled.
"Young friend Zhu is seriously injured and should be resting, but your younger brother is too 'concerned' about you, so we have to make this trip."
Zhu Ji stood to one side, his face deathly pale, muttering repeatedly, "Impossible," "How could this be," "He's dead..."
This is the situation.
This also caused a hint of disgust to appear in Guo Jie's eyes.
"senior."
Zhu Ju took a deep breath and slowly sat up:
"It is an unfortunate event for our family. I apologize for making you both laugh."
"Shuang'er".
"exist!"
Shuang'er, who had been in a panic, snapped out of her daze upon hearing the sound and hurriedly went to help him stand up.
"While Senior Guo is here, go and call the clan elders. I need to..."
"Separate the family!"
"what!"
Shuang'er was stunned, staring blankly as she looked up.
Zhu Ji, standing to the side, trembled and collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.
Zhu Ju's expression remained unchanged.
Even with incomplete versions, the formless Dharma seal can simulate the original spirit.
At least.
With Ming Nianwei's abilities, she would never be able to tell the difference.

in the hall.
Elders of the Zhu clan and Guo Jie of the Qingyi Gang sat on either side.
Dressed in mourning clothes, Zhu Ju clasped his hands in a respectful bow, addressing everyone present, and slowly began to speak:
“My family has suffered misfortune. First, my father was robbed, and then bandits abducted me out of the city. If it weren’t for the help of a wise man, my body would have been thrown into some mass grave.”
"Young friend Zhu."
Guo Jie advised:
"Condolences."
"As the saying goes, good people are always blessed by heaven. You have escaped this calamity and will surely have good fortune in the near future."
“Absolutely!” “That’s right.” The others echoed in agreement.
Although there were older members of the Zhu family, most of them needed the Zhu family's financial support, so they naturally gave him, the new master of the Zhu family, a lot of face.
"Thank you for your kind words, senior." Zhu Ju bowed.
"This time, I was abducted by bandits. Upon careful reflection, there are many strange things, especially regarding the second branch of the family..."
He turned his gaze to Zhu Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, his face pale.
"Aunt Zhou is away visiting relatives and will not be back until the day after tomorrow. We hope that the gang can investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhu," Ming Nianwei said.
"If it really was the second wife who framed you, the Tsing Yi Gang will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."
She was aloof, but even more straightforward.
She knew there was something wrong with what happened today after a little thought, and after a while she was busy, she naturally sided with Zhu Ju.
Guo Jie, however, did not speak.
He could also see that there was something wrong with the second wife, but how old was Zhu Ji? Did he have the guts to plot to kill his own brother?
The second wife happened to be away on a long trip, which could be interpreted as her trying to avoid suspicion, but it's also possible that she genuinely didn't know about it.
"My father's funeral will require the help of several clan elders."
Zhu Ju bowed to the elders and said, "There are other matters concerning the division of the family property, which will also require your continued attention."
"It should."
"This is our duty."
"..."
The elders repeatedly agreed.
"also."
Zhu Ju took a deep breath, slowly straightened his body, and said with a solemn expression:
"This ordeal has made me see some things clearly. In this world, one can gain fame through literature, but one cannot protect oneself."
"so……"
"From this day forward, I, Zhu, will practice martial arts!"
