Chapter 858 Suppression
Previously, the Chu family only had one office in the Ji family's city.

The Chu family's office is now so large that it resembles a foreign concession.

Elders like Ji Shentong hold very high positions in the Ji family, being hundreds of years old. Many prominent figures in the Ji family are his descendants.

For someone like this to have to wait at the gate just to see a junior in the Ji family's city, Ji Liuying sighed inwardly.

Chu Hongwu did not come out to greet them personally, but simply had a guard lead them inside.

Moreover, it wasn't in the reception room, but rather in one of Chu Hongwu's own courtyards.

When the clan elder Ji Shentong and Ji Liuying entered the courtyard, they saw Chu Hongwu standing on a small arched bridge, feeding the fish with fish food.

The fish kept here are naturally not ordinary species, but Ji Liuying has no interest in admiring them.

"Elder Tong, why have you come to see me in person?" Chu Hongwu asked in surprise, as if he had only just realized that Ji Shentong had arrived.

“Young Master Chu, you and Liuying had a minor disagreement before. She didn’t know how to treat guests and neglected you. I brought her here to apologize to you.” As Ji Shentong spoke, he glanced at Ji Liuying and winked, clearly indicating that she should apologize.

Before Ji Liuying could speak, Chu Hongwu said sarcastically, "I dare not accept an apology from this young lady of the Ji family. This is your Ji family's city, your Ji family's sanctuary. I am just an outsider here as a guest. Even if I have suffered some grievances, I can only swallow my anger. How dare I ask your young lady of the Ji family to apologize?"

“Young Master Chu is too kind. Our Ji family has always been fair in our dealings. If we do something wrong, we should apologize,” said Ji Shentong.

"Elder Tong, what you're saying isn't quite right. If you apologize for doing something wrong, does that mean you can do whatever you want and just apologize? If I beat someone from your Ji family and then apologize, does that mean your Ji family won't hold it against me?" Chu Hongwu said with a half-smile.

Ji Shentong looked troubled and wanted to say something more, but Ji Liuying spoke first.

"If Young Master Chu has the ability to beat someone from our Ji family, we don't need your apology. We only blame ourselves for our lack of skill. In the end, we will say that Young Master Chu did a good job beating him."

"Firefly!" Ji Shentong roared in anger.

"Well said, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Well then, I'll make you say 'well done' today." Chu Hongwu said, and directly struck Ji Liuying with his palm.

He was holding his breath, and if he didn't retaliate, he would never be able to get rid of this anger.

The Chu family is full of geniuses, but only a small fraction of them are able to advance to the Great Cave Heaven realm before the age of thirty.

Those who, like Chu Hongwu, advanced to the Great Cave Heaven at the age of twenty-six are extremely rare.

He had never suffered such a loss before, and at the time he was fighting with someone else when Ji Liuying interfered, which is why he suffered a loss, so he was naturally resentful.

Ji Liuying did not back down and met the attack with a palm strike.

The two exchanged blows with equal force, resulting in a stalemate.

"Liu Ying, stop right now!" Ji Shentong wanted to stop, but even if Ji Liu Ying listened to him, Chu Hongwu wouldn't stop. He couldn't just let Ji Liu Ying stand there and take the beating.

Seeing that the two had already started fighting, Ji Shentong thought to himself, "This is good. Chu Hongwu is the youngest Da Dongtian in the Chu family. His cultivation is outstanding among the younger generation of the Chu family. Since he is also at the Seventh Awakening, Liu Ying is definitely no match for him. Letting him beat him up to vent his anger is good. Let's just let this matter drop."

With this thought in mind, Ji Shentong said nothing more, but stepped aside, ready to intervene at any time to prevent the aftershocks of their battle from damaging the courtyard.

Ji Shentong thought that Ji Liuying was no match for Chu Hongwu, and Chu Hongwu himself thought so too.

However, after they actually clashed, Chu Hongwu discovered that no matter how fierce his attacks were, Ji Liuying was able to fight him to a standstill. This made Chu Hongwu's expression turn extremely ugly, because he clearly felt that Ji Liuying was able to strike first after he attacked, neutralizing all his various techniques.

This is not a matter of evenly matched; only someone with superior strength, and who wins the contest, could achieve this effect.

Even if Chu Hongwu were to submit, if the battle were to break out again, he would be serious this time.

Ji Shentong never expected things to turn out this way.

Among the younger generation of the Ji family, Ji Liuying can only be considered above average. She is still some distance from the top, and she doesn't even qualify as above average.

Chu Hongwu, on the other hand, is someone who can rival the top figures of the younger generation of the Ji family, and should be far superior to Ji Liuying.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Chu Hongwu used all his strength, while Ji Liuying seemed to have used less, yet she was able to withstand all of Chu Hongwu's attacks and even had the strength to finish them off, preventing the residual force of their battle from damaging things in the courtyard.

From this perspective, Ji Liuying's strength is actually much greater than that of Chu Hongwu.

"How is this possible? How could Ji Liuying have such strength?" Ji Shentong exclaimed in disbelief.

However, the facts are clear: the techniques used by Ji Liuying are also orthodox innate divine skills and the eight innate forms, which the prodigy Ji also knows.

However, when Ji Liuying used these abilities, some of the ingenious aspects were so surprising that even Ji Shentong found them unbelievable.

"Is Ji Liuying's talent really that high? I've overlooked her before." The more Ji Shentong looked at her, the more strange his expression became, and the more unbelievable it seemed.

At this moment, he already felt some regret. If he had known that Ji Liuying had such abilities and talents, he probably shouldn't have forced her to apologize. This action would undoubtedly have caused some damage to her Dao heart, and in severe cases, it might have even really damaged her Dao heart, making it difficult for her to achieve anything in the future.

The more Ji Shentong looked, the more fortunate he felt, fortunate that the apology had not been made.

Ji Shentong had never taken Ji Liuying seriously before, thinking it wouldn't hurt to make her suffer some grievances and apologize.

However, Ji Liuying's performance at this moment had forced Ji Shentong to take her existence seriously.

Even though Ji Shentong had to compromise, he knew in his heart that only the strength of the Ji family itself could truly solve the problem.

Ji Liuying's performance is no worse than that of the top young people in the Ji family, and may even be better.

Even if it were one of the top young members of the Ji family fighting Chu Hongwu, they might not be able to handle the situation as effortlessly as Ji Liuying.

In fact, even Ji Liuying herself did not expect that she could fight Chu Xuewu to this extent.

She originally thought that even if she had made some progress, she would still have to use all her strength to fight against someone like Chu Hongwu, who was among the top in his age group.

It might even require opening a secret realm to suppress Chu Hongwu.

However, once the battle actually began, Ji Liuying discovered that it was unnecessary. Using the secret techniques and skills she had learned from Chen Guan, she had already suppressed Chu Hongwu without even using her full strength.

"A wise teacher is truly a celestial being, worthy of being able to teach a Heavenly King." Ji Liuying's admiration for Chen Guan grew even stronger.
