He and Ji Lanshan had been searching along the list for a long time, but they couldn't find the true identity of this so-called Money Leopard.

You could say.

The identity of Money Leopard had become an obsession they both desperately wanted to uncover.

Ji Ru Yu had already approached Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan.

Just one meter apart.

His gaze locked with Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan.

He wasn't afraid that Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan would suddenly attack him.

With his strength, even if these two tried their best to ambush him, they couldn't cause him any harm.

Moreover.

These two didn't dare.

"I know who Money Leopard is. Before you die, I can tell you Money Leopard's identity."

Ji Ru Yu said this with some pride.

"Who is it?"

Ji Lanshan and Ji Shaoyun both knew what their fate would be.

Running away wouldn't help.

Ji Ru Yu was far more powerful than them. If they tried to escape one second, Ji Ru Yu would catch up the next.

To know Money Leopard's identity before dying was satisfying enough for Ji Lanshan and Ji Shaoyun.

They hadn't considered that it was Wang Ye.

After all, just by Wang Ye helping Ji Ru Yu earlier, they could see that Wang Ye had a good relationship with Ji Ru Yu.

So how could Wang Ye have defeated Ji Ru Yu at Nine Dragon Mountain?

"Money Leopard is..."

Ji Ru Yu paused.

Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan's ears instinctively twitched, waiting for Ji Ru Yu to reveal the rest.

Clang!

What they heard instead was the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

Two heads instantly fell, cut down by Ji Ru Yu.

Watching Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan's bodies slowly fall to the ground, Ji Ru Yu's eyes were full of murderous intent.

This question.

Let them take it to the underworld.

If it weren't for Wang Ye's help, Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan would have already driven him insane and killed him.

For him, tormenting them a little before their deaths was only fair.

An Array Pattern Spirit Stone fell into Ji Ru Yu's hand.

Ji Ru Yu had planned it all along, recording the scene where Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan tried to ambush him but ended up being killed instead.

The murder of Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan couldn't be hidden.

Soon it would be investigated.

By then, Ji Ru Yu would present the evidence recorded in the Spirit Stone, and given Ji Ru Yu's talent far surpassing Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan, even if shown to others in the Ji Family, they couldn't argue with it.

...

Meanwhile, Wang Ye.

The image disappeared.

The master of the Divine Stone Workshop beside him chuckled, "At present, it seems like the Ji Family's vote is secured."

Though Ji Ru Yu's methods in dealing with Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan were cruel, in the eyes of the master of the Divine Stone Workshop and Zhou Ke, it didn't matter.

On the contrary.

It made the master and others appreciate Ji Ru Yu even more.

Spirit Star.

Was inherently a world where the strong preyed on the weak.

Had Ji Ru Yu been overly merciful, the master of the Divine Stone Workshop, Wang Ye, and the others felt he wouldn't be suitable to cooperate with them.

Wang Ye's projection of the scene.

Wasn't just to watch for entertainment.

But to see what Ji Ru Yu would do when facing such matters.

A corner of Wang Ye's mouth curled in a smile; evidently, Ji Ru Yu's actions pleased him, and he smiled, "With the Ji Family's vote secured, though two votes remain, I think they'll be easy to get."

...

The next day's competition.

Everyone expected Ji Ru Yu to advance from the six to three, but he failed to advance.

Moreover, the news of Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan's deaths spread across the venue.

And it reached the Ji Family.

Of course, the Ji Family knew the truth, but at the venue, the official word was that the Ji Family's two prodigies were killed by others.

The Ji Family also pledged to find the killers of Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan and avenge them.

Even the internal strife within the Ji Family couldn't be exposed outside.

At the Wei City Mage Guild.

Having won, Wang Ye arrived here, and as soon as he sat down, Zhou Ke curiously asked Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, why do you think Ji Ru Yu failed?"

"You know, after beating Ji Shaoyun, Ji Ru Yu was third amongst the young prodigies, behind you and Ye Chen. Logically, in that match, Ji Ru Yu wasn't supposed to lose."

As Zhou Ke said this, his tone was tinged with regret.

And Ji Ru Yu's failure was officially claimed to be due to his emotional distress over Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan's deaths.

But Zhou Ke and Lin Shuang knew it couldn't be the reason.

What a joke.

Ji Shaoyun and Ji Lanshan were killed by Ji Ru Yu himself last night; how could it cause him to lose concentration in the competition?

"Ji Ru Yu deliberately failed for my sake."

Wang Ye spoke.

It wasn't excessive self-confidence on Wang Ye's part.

But from his perspective, it was truly the case.

Zhou Ke and Lin Shuang exchanged a surprised glance with Wang Ye, puzzled.

Why would Ji Ru Yu deliberately lose for Wang Ye?

They knew about Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu's relationship, even if Wang Ye faced Ji Ru Yu, Wang Ye could certainly defeat him.

Naturally, there was no need for Ji Ru Yu to concede.

Even if conceding.

Wouldn't it be better to deliberately fail when competing against Wang Ye?

"Did you forget, he only secured the Ji Family's vote so far, but still owes me two more."

Wang Ye's words instantly made Zhou Ke and Lin Shuang realize.

Ji Ru Yu had only just emerged.

Among the other major families' prodigies, he wasn't well-acquainted.

In such circumstances, obtaining a vote from his opponents was very difficult.

He could only use this method.

"But this way, he only secures one vote. How does Ji Ru Yu plan to get the other?"

Lin Shuang couldn't help but ask.

Wang Ye leaned back and casually said, "That will be up to him."
