Chapter 104: Since You Can't Come to the Rescue, You Might as Well Take the Blame!

“You ungrateful child! Stop right there!” Ji Yun shouted angrily.

Ji Yin immediately halted, loosening her grip so that the feather fan transformed into a phoenix plume hanging at her waist. She turned around and smiled at Ji Yun. “Father! Where is my master?”

Why was there no soul force fluctuation from Xuanyuan Ji here? So many people had already entered, yet Xuanyuan Ji still hadn’t shown up. She needed him!

“How did you come to Weaving Cloud Mountain?” Ji Yun asked.

“My master brought me here,” Ji Yin replied promptly.

Since Xuanyuan, dear brother, you can’t come to help, you might as well take the blame!

“Xuanyuan Gongzi?” Ji Yun didn’t believe it.

He had clearly instructed that Ji Yin was not to come to Weaving Cloud Mountain. He could not believe that Xuanyuan Gongzi would take the liberty of bringing Ji Yin without permission! Even though Xuanyuan Gongzi had accepted Ji Yin as his disciple, she was still a daughter of the Ji family, with parents and six elder brothers above her!

They still had authority over Ji Yin!

“Grand Tutor, now that Seventh Young Master has arrived, perhaps you shouldn’t be so angry,” a voice sounded, attempting to soothe Ji Yun’s fury.

Upon hearing the voice, Ji Yin immediately lifted her head and looked toward the crowd. “Mo Gongzi!”

“Seventh Young Master,” Mo Chuan greeted with a bow.

Ji Yin stepped forward and directly threw her arms around his shoulders. “Why are you here too? Afraid those entering the mountain might starve, so you plan to forage and cook something?”

Seeing Ji Yin’s carefree demeanor, Ji Yun was furious to the point of blood boiling. He roughly pulled Ji Yin away from Mo Chuan’s side.

“Do not be rude! Mo Gongzi is the heir of the Mo family, skilled in dismantling mechanisms. He has come to lend us his strength!”

Ji Yun was on the verge of slapping Ji Yin for being so irresponsible.

Ji Yin paused for a moment, then respectfully bowed to Mo Chuan. “My apologies! But look around Weaving Cloud Mountain—can we forage anything to eat? I’m starving!”

Ji Yun: ...

Mo Chuan looked at Ji Yin’s expression and covered his mouth to smile.

Chu Yu cast Ji Yin a disdainful glance, cursing her silently: this good-for-nothing only thinks about food! He stepped forward and reported to Ji Yun, “Grand Tutor, that enormous creature just now was extraordinarily fierce! Though it was heavily injured by you, it only retreated temporarily. It will likely return. This location is unsuitable for a prolonged stay.”

“Indeed, Grand Tutor,” someone nearby chimed in.

Because the winged serpent fled upon Ji Yun’s arrival, everyone naturally assumed that Ji Yun had wounded it.

Ji Yun did not fully grasp the winged serpent’s strength, but he was well aware of Ji Yin’s abilities and similarly believed that he had temporarily driven it off. That creature was probably the most formidable one they had encountered since entering Weaving Cloud Mountain.

Ji Yin herself was unsure how much damage she had inflicted on the winged serpent with Xuanyuan Ji’s strength, nor did she realize that the winged serpent had fled because she injured it.

“Chu Gongzi is right. We should leave immediately,” Mo Chuan also said.

Ji Yun’s gaze swept over the group. Upon seeing that Du Wei and several others had lost their clothes, and remembering that Ji Yin was a girl, a headache struck him hard. He shouted, “What is going on here? How disgraceful!”

Du Wei and the others blushed deeply with embarrassment. They had been running wildly just moments ago; where could their clothes still be?

Du Wei should not have been so disheveled—his strength was more than enough for a clean escape.

They were simply too frightened by the winged serpent’s massive form and confused by Chu Yu’s shout, causing them to run around shirtless in a panic.

Those nearby all took out their own garments and handed them over. After changing, the group felt much more at ease, finally no longer forced to run about naked.
