After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 831 - 821: Second Brother!

Bi Xia turned his gaze towards Ji Qiutang, and when his starry eyes met those clear eyes, both of them paused and quickly looked away.

One pair seemed to be infused with an endless starry sky, stretching as far as the eye could see, filled with starlight, beautiful to the extreme.

The other pair resembled a deep, dark ancient pond at night, seemingly clear but truly unfathomable, as if just one look could see through a person’s entire heart.

The clear eyes slightly narrowed, and with a faint smile, Ji Qiutang slowly said, "Actually, I’ve known from the beginning that Xu Yushi is not a suitable fiancée. Her ambition is too great, and she’s definitely the type to abandon someone for profit without hesitation..."

"And the Xu Family," Ji Qiutang paused, looked at Bi Xia, and curled his lips, "I’ll tell you when auntie marries into the Ji Family."

Bi Xia: ...

"Heh heh," Bi Xia chuckled expressionlessly, "Then you might as well hold it in for a lifetime."

Ji Qiutang: ...

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Wei Ming laughed unrestrainedly, "Little Nine, I really admire you now. You can argue with anyone and anything, and now you’re even skilled at bantering with Fourth Brother and Ji Qiutang. I really admire you!"

Bi Xia smiled slightly, clasped his fists, and said, "You’re welcome, you’re welcome, it’s just a small thing. After all, mixing in the martial world, you need more skills, right? If the force is not enough, words will suffice."

"Not enough force?!" Wei Ming’s mouth dropped open, "You call that not enough force?!"

Recalling the scene at the top of Qingpan Mountain where the young man, with a cold expression, held a gun, rendering Xu Yushi speechless, Wei Ming sighed lightly and said, "You’re kidding me!"

"Honestly," leaning against the wall again, "with your current level of spiritual power, if you train well, the next time you face Xu Yushi, you can completely crush her. By then, it won’t be you who’s spiritually injured, but her."

A flash of blue passed through Bi Xia’s starry eyes as he teased, "But I’m worried she might accidentally advance and fail to refine her spiritual power, becoming very formidable."

Wei Ming rolled his eyes, "You think everyone is as lucky as you, but..."

He paused, then said, "I’ve noticed that your spiritual power now is not at all the same as before. Before, it was like cotton, but now it’s like a blade. Compared to the soft, powerless cotton, you are more suited to the sharp, overwhelming blade."

"I think this is you awakening your own spiritual power, but Xu Yushi, the Xu Family had her spiritual power awakened at birth."

Listening to Wei Ming, Bi Xia was stunned. To awaken spiritual power at birth was astonishing. Rubbing his chin, it seemed the major families in Beijing really hid many unknown secrets, particularly related to spiritual power.

So far, she only had a general understanding of spiritual power, but in Beijing, she wasn’t aware of its status, yet listening to Wei Ming, it seemed that in these families, those with high spiritual power had greater say, and they even specifically trained it... just like Xu Yushi!

"But..." Wei Ming shifted the topic, "with your temper, to use a game analogy, you’re the kind who can’t help challenging higher-level players, thinking you can solo a group, but nearly end up losing yourself instead."

"I advise you to temper your temper and raise your level a bit before prancing around."

Bi Xia snorted coldly, "I’ve always been very low-key, okay? It’s just that even if I don’t seek trouble, trouble always finds me, alright!"

"Yes, this might be..." Ji Qiutang thought for a moment, "bad luck."

Bi Xia: "...Don’t speak if you’re a dumped, used pawn."

Ji Qiutang rubbed his brow helplessly, "I say, Bi Xiaojiu, even if you’re not officially my brother under Ji Qiutang, you’re still nominally my brother, right? Do you really have to give me no face?"

"What do you mean by nominally my brother," Bi Xia looked meaningfully at Ji Qiutang, "What, is your Excellency my mother’s godson or something?"

"That’s a good suggestion, but we’ll see next time we meet," Ji Qiutang smiled, "Technically, you should call me Second Brother."

"Second Brother?!" Bi Xia widened his eyes, looking at Ji Qiutang, "You’re that mysterious second one?!"

Ji Qiutang: ...

So, he really disliked this ranking!

Thinking about how Wei Ming and the others always teased him with his ranking, Ji Qiutang couldn’t help but shake his head. Now with Bi Xia added to the mix, seeing Bi Xia’s mischievous smile, Ji Qiutang felt that getting rid of this nickname was a distant, unreachable goal.
