Mortal: Joining the Star Palace at the Start

"Fellow Daoist Madman, your little brat is truly lawless. Who gave him the audacity to cause trouble here?"

The purpose of the hunting competition is primarily to test the strength of the disciples, not for them to show off their skills.

Jin Kui said in a calm tone, his face expressionless.

He arrived here immediately after Lin Xuanye challenged Ji Qing to a duel.

However, he did not approach Tianyou Island on his own initiative, but instead used his divine sense to observe the battle from a hundred miles away.

To his satisfaction, Ji Qing won.

The arrogant Taoist's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that his grandson would be defeated so easily in such a way.

This was truly beyond his expectations.

According to his judgment, his grandson should have a sure thing in taking down Ji Qing.

But the result was quite the opposite; his grandson used a secret technique right from the start, which directly secured the victory for Ji Qing.

All I can say is that his grandson is still too young and lacks practical experience. He needs to go back and get some serious training.

"Elder, you jest. A child acts impulsively; who would dare give him the audacity to cause trouble here?"

The mad Taoist sighed deeply:

"This competition has seriously affected the progress of the tournament, for which I am deeply ashamed. Therefore, punish me as appropriate, and I will have no complaints."

The arrogant Taoist removed his hat completely, leaving Jin Kui speechless.

Jin Kui knew exactly what was going on, but he couldn't show it.

As the Grand Elder, if he insisted on pressing the matter, others might think he was petty and narrow-minded.

After all, he had no substantial evidence; this duel was entirely initiated by Lin Xuanye himself.

Even if someone wanted to punish someone, it should be Lin Xuanye. This has nothing to do with the Mad Daoist.

It's worth mentioning that, given Lin Xuanye's status, even if the law enforcement wanted to punish him, under the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the Mad Daoist, it would simply mean he would be moved to another place to cultivate.

"Alright, you said it yourself, so let's do it according to the rules of the conference."

At this point, Jin Kui turned to look at the mad Taoist priest and said indifferently:

"As the Grand Elder of the Star Palace and the supervisor of this conference, I will be the one to carry out this punishment."

Upon hearing this, the mad Taoist's face darkened.

Good grief, they're planning to retaliate.

"Oh well, let's just consider this punishment as a learning experience for him."

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on the face of the mad Taoist, and he said righteously:

"Very well, since the Grand Elder has the leisure to do so, then so be it. I have no objections."

"Okay, as long as you have no objections."

After speaking, Jin Kui's eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling golden light, and an extremely powerful divine sense spread out in all directions at lightning speed, instantly enveloping the two enforcers and making them realize what was happening.

"Hey, see? I already told you I was summoned by the Grand Elder as soon as the competition ended. Now you believe me, right?"

The old man in white shook his head in distress, feeling utterly helpless.

This is a dilemma: whether to intervene or not. How are they supposed to play this game?

However, the ending was ultimately good; the only punishment was a reduction in salary, with no other serious penalties.

...........

And so, after Ji Qing won, he first put the Golden Abyss Sword into his storage bag, then turned to Lin Xuanye and reached out to ask for it:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, since I have won, then give me everything according to the bet."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanye's face instantly turned ugly, as if he had eaten feces.

Should we give it to them or not?

Giving it out like that would be incredibly humiliating.

From a distance, Ling Yuling saw that Lin Xuanye had not yet fulfilled his bet, and she couldn't stand it any longer. She went directly to Ji Qing and said fiercely to Lin Xuanye:

"My brother said, hand over the stuff right now, or you'll be in big trouble."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanye's face was filled with disbelief:

"Young Palace Master, what kind of bewitching potion did this brat give you? How could he treat me like this?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hand it over right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"I...cough cough..."

Lin Xuanye was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

After five or six breaths had passed, he said:

"Since the young master has spoken, then I will give it to him."

Lin Xuanye's tone was very weak. After saying this, he took off the storage bag from his waist and threw it to Ji Qing:

"Don't get cocky, you little rascal. I'm only giving you these things because of the young master's sake."

After speaking, Lin Xuanye slowly stood up, preparing to leave with his silver spear, when he suddenly heard Ji Qing speak:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, if I remember correctly, if you lose this competition, everything except you will be mine."

So... what are you doing with my spear? Put it down right now!

"You're asking for it!"

Lin Xuanye's face suddenly darkened, but before he could make a move, a piercing dragon roar suddenly resounded throughout the area.

When Lin Xuanye looked up, his expression turned grim, and he said in disbelief:

"You didn't use your real skills?"

"What's it to you? Give me back my spear right now, or I'll break your legs."

Ji Qing's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, as if he was about to make a move at any moment. When Lin Xuanye saw this, he hesitated for a moment, but still obediently did as he was told.

"for you."

The silver spear was thrown by Lin Xuanye and landed steadily in Ji Qing's hands.

Ji Qing, delighted at the sight of the spear, stroked the silver one with obvious affection and said jokingly:

"Thank you so much, you lucky charm! If I ever need anything in the future, I'll come to you. I hope you won't refuse me."

"Hmph, I'll be waiting for you."

Lin Xuanye said coldly, and having nothing on him, he immediately turned and left.

"Oh no! My spirit stones! I've lost so much!"

"Just what kind of freak is Ji Qing? How could he possibly beat Lin Xuanye?"

"And another thing, is it too late to jump into the sea now?"

...........

With Lin Xuanye gone, the duel naturally came to an end.

Led by Ling Yuling, the two of them arrived at a secluded place and seemed to be talking about something.

"Brother, look what this is?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qing looked down and his face instantly froze. He quickly declined, saying:

"Little Ling'er, how can you do this? Take it back quickly."

What Ling Yuling took out was not anything else, but a bulging storage bag.

Judging from the appearance of the storage bag, what else could it contain besides a monster's head?

"Brother, this was originally meant for you."

I was originally planning to surprise my brother after the conference, but now I think it's better to give it to him first.

After all, my brother knows who I am; winning a championship isn't important to me.

Ling Yuling said with a grin, "To be honest, the reason I came here to participate in the hunting competition is just for Ji Qing."

If it weren't for Ji Qing, she wouldn't have been interested in attending any conference.

"Little Ling'er, what are you doing..."

Ji Qing's heart was filled with complicated feelings, because of Jin Kui, he was destined to leave the Star Palace.

But after Ling Yuling's actions, I really don't know how he'll face her in the future.
