The person standing at the door had a face of iron blue.

He was the one Chen Qingzhi brought to deal with Wang Ye this time.

The Ji Family's third prodigy, Ji Ru Yu.

Ji Ru Yu did not expect that the first moment he came to find Wang Ye, he wouldn't see anyone else, nor hear anything else, but before even entering the door, he heard these Magicians mocking the Ji Family.

As a prodigy of the Ji Family, Ji Ru Yu had long developed a strong sense of belonging to the Ji Family and would not allow others to insult it.

"Ji Shen?"

Seeing Ji Shen's vacant look and somewhat downcast appearance, a surge of anger burst from Ji Ru Yu's heart.

In the middle section of Nine Dragon Mountain, was there actually someone who dared to bully their Ji Family members?

Ji Ru Yu strode forward, quickly reaching Ji Shen. He originally wanted to help Ji Shen up but smelled a strange odor from him and immediately gave up on the idea.

Instead, he spoke to the staff of the Divine Stone Workshop next to him:

"Help him up."

Every movement exuded an air of leadership, as if this ability to lead others was innate.

Moreover, even though Ji Ru Yu wasn't one of the Divine Stone Workshop's own, and despite the strange odor coming from Ji Shen, the staff instinctively helped Ji Shen up from the ground, helping him stand firm.

Supported to a standing position, Ji Shen slowly recovered from his previous state, glanced to the side, and saw the anger simmering in Ji Ru Yu's eyes. Ji Ru Yu asked him:

"Tell me what happened, who bullied you?"

Within the Ji Family, Ji Ru Yu generally looked down on someone as insignificant as Ji Shen.

But outside was a different matter.

All were members of the Ji Family, and even if Ji Shen was an obscure figure within the family, outside he still represented the Ji Family's honor. When Ji Shen had issues, Ji Ru Yu had to help resolve them.

That was the only way to prevent the Ji Family from losing face.

Just like a big family, where the conflicts may be fierce internally among the family members, but outside, they may pretend to be like close brothers.

When Ji Shen was stared at by Ji Ru Yu and thought of the things he had just done, an overwhelming shock washed over him and he fainted straight away.

"Ji Shen, Ji…"

Ji Ru Yu originally wanted to shake Ji Shen, but the odor from Ji Shen was too strong, so he withdrew his half-extended hand.

Ji Ru Yu turned his gaze to the Magicians, fury blazing in his eyes, and continued:

"I am Ji Ru Yu of the Ji Family!"

Ji Ru Yu of the Ji Family!

The Magicians present had found Ji Ru Yu vaguely familiar.

But couldn't quite place who he was.

Now, with Ji Ru Yu's words, a look of fear immediately appeared in their eyes, and their chatter quieted significantly.

"Ji Ru Yu of the Ji Family! He's nothing like Ji Shen, who, despite being a member of the Ji Family, is insignificant. But Ji Ru Yu is the Ji Family's third prodigy!"

"Moreover, among young Magicians, Ji Ru Yu ranks quite high."

"Now, isn't the Money Leopard in trouble? It's because of Wang Ye that Ji Shen ended up like this. Although Ji Shen embarrassed himself today, until the Ji Family's decision comes, Ji Shen is still a member of the Ji Family, and Ji Ru Yu will definitely retrieve their honor."

The voices of the Magicians discussing were very low.

In their view, Ji Ru Yu wouldn't be able to hear them.

Yet Ji Ru Yu's eyelids twitched.

He was not just a Second Rank Sorcerer.

He was also a Second Grade Cultivator!

Indeed, even though Ji Ru Yu was the third prodigy within the Ji Family, his position was almost equal to the second.

Because of one thing.

Ji Ru Yu also had a very strong talent in cultivation.

Thus, the voices of the Magicians discussing were perfectly audible to Ji Ru Yu.

He turned his gaze to Wang Ye.

Money Leopard.

Quite easy to recognize.

After all, Wang Ye's current guise matched his self-bestowed nickname, resembling it perfectly.

When Ji Ru Yu saw the rough stone Wang Ye was cutting, he was slightly taken aback.

At this moment.

Wang Ye had already cut halfway through.

The outline inside was partly revealed.

Resembling a large seal.

The resonance of the Great Dao in the Divine Stone Workshop was now extremely strong, almost spilling outward.

Usually, the resonance of the Great Dao carried by such items barely fills a room; for it to spill outward was very unusual.

Upon entering, Ji Ru Yu's attention was immediately caught by the Magicians' insults, infuriating him, making him focus on Ji Shen.

He only just noticed the item Wang Ye was carving.

A good item!

An excellent item!

In an instant, Ji Ru Yu had made up his mind internally.

However, he wasn't too concerned; he was confident that if he were the one mining the Divine Stone in the Divine Stone Workshop, he could extract such an item, even more precious ones.

Instead, he fixed his gaze on Wang Ye, his entire being exuding a commanding presence, looking down at Wang Ye, he asked:

"Was it you who just bullied our Ji Family member?"

Ji Ru Yu's attitude toward Wang Ye gave the onlookers a sense of pressure.

Ji Shen and Ji Ru Yu were clearly of different levels entirely.

Ji Shen could only use his status to intimidate.

While Ji Ru Yu, even if he hid his identity and changed his appearance, exuded a certain aura from head to toe, making others feel a sense of dread.

That was the demeanor of a significant figure, a prodigy.

Wang Ye said nothing.

And continued carving his item.

Ji Ru Yu, seeing a Ji Family member being bullied, and hearing insults directed at the Ji Family.
