Once Ji Chun said that, the ambiance in the main hall turned to embarrassment.

 The surrounding relatives looked at Ji Mo. There was scorn in everyone’s eyes. A marriage withdrawal was not something to be proud of.

 Father Ji and Mother Ji appeared embarrassed too.

 “Does that even need to be said? It must have been that Du Jia girl who looked down on our Third Young Master,” Ji Liangdong sneered slightly. The father and son echoed each other, seeming to have the intention to embarrass Ji Mo.

 Ji Chun whooped harder with laughter. “I also heard that Du Jia is being specially trained in Tianyuan Academy, and it’s a matter of time before she enters the inner sect of the Tianshan Sword Sect to become an inner disciple. Our Third Young Master has been cultivating hard, and after 2 years, he’s only a third-tier tempered body. How could Du Jia ever fall in love with you?”

 “Yes, I think it’s alright for the marriage to the withdrawn. It’s our family member who’s disappointing, so we’d better not waste other people’s time, right?” Ji Liangdong chuckled.

 At that moment, both father and son looked at Ji Mo with a chill as if they bore a grudge against him.

 Ji Lin’er moved her lips and looked fiercely at Ji Chun as though she was not pleased with their actions.

 As for the surrounding relatives, they were only there to watch.

 Facing the ridicule from his second uncle and Ji Chun, a wave of anger surged within Ji Mo and he clenched his fists. He knew that Ji Liangdong and Ji Chun targeted him because they were upset that he had injured Ji Shan in the fight. Therefore, they were humiliating him in front of everyone.

 Father Ji noticed everything and he looked at Ji Mo to interrogate, “Little Mo, a few days ago, we received news from the academy that you beat Ji Shan up. Is that true?”

 “Mm-hmm, yes!” Ji Mo did not deny it.

 “You dare to admit it!” Ji Chun’s expression became solemn. “As a fellow clan member, you swindled and sneaked up on your younger cousin brother to ambush him. What are your intentions!?”

 It was true that Ji Chun was good at giving Ji Shan a righteous stance. After all, Ji Shan was his younger brother, so he would not let Ji Mo admit in front of everyone that he had defeated Ji Shan, but he purposely used the words ‘swindled and sneaked up’. Furthermore, Ji Chun did not believe that Ji Shan would have lost to Ji Mo under fair circumstances.

 That was impossible since Ji Shan was on the sixth-tier tempered body and he knew about Ji Mo’s situation. After cultivating in Tianyuan Academy for 2 years, he only had the strength of a third-tier tempered body. With that strength, how could he have defeated Ji Shan? Therefore, Ji Chun and Ji Liangdong unanimously thought that Ji Mo had used despicable methods.

 “Please explain what’s that all about,” Father Ji was calm as he said faintly.

 In fact, he was also curious too as he knew that Ji Mo was easily intimidated since he was young. When he heard the news that Ji Mo had beaten Ji Shan up, he was shocked and thought he heard it wrongly. He believed that given Ji Mo’s timid character, he would not dare to pick a fight with Ji Shan.

 Mother Ji, Shen Shuyi and Ji Lin’er were full of surprise as they turned to look at Ji Mo who drew a deep breath and said, “Well, since you all want to know, then I’ll tell you…Actually, I feel that I’ve done the right thing. Ji Shan is my younger cousin brother. By right, I wouldn’t have attacked him, but Ji Shan was ganging up on me with others at the academy, and even humiliating me. We are from the same clan, but he betrayed and helped outsiders to go against his own kin. Don’t you think…this kind of behavior should be taught a lesson!?”

 Although these words were not humble, Ji Mo had all his reasons, and that embarrassed Ji Liangdong and Ji Chun.

 Father Ji and Mother Ji, Shen Shuyi, were calmer now, but they were still curious how Ji Mo defeated Ji Shan with his abilities or the therelackof.

 “Even if it’s like that, you shouldn’t use despicable methods to badly beat Ji Shan up. The men in the Ji family are gentlemen and will never use despicable methods against their kin,” Ji Chun snorted as he looked at Ji Mo coldly.

 “Despicable methods? Haha, Ji Shan and I dueled fair and square. Many people witnessed it that day, so how could that have been despicable?” Ji Mo laughed.

 “You…you’re lying!” Ji Chun shouted, “Ji Mo, do you think I don’t know what you’re capable of? How could you have defeated my brother? If you didn’t use despicable methods, how could you have defeated him? You’d better be honest about the whole incident and tell everyone about your heinous act and let Eldest Uncle judge.”

 Upon saying that, Ji Chun turned to look at Father Ji with rage in his eyes as if he was wronged.

 “That’s right, Ji Mo. Be honest about it!” Ji Liangdong also shouted with the intention of using his position to pressure Ji Mo.

 Father Ji and Mother Ji, and even Ji Lin’er, were looking at Ji Mo silently.

 Under everyone’s interrogative gazes, Ji Mo’s eyes became colder. He laughed and said, “Ji Shan’s skills are only subpar. Why would I need to ambush him?”

 “You…This chap still refuses to explain himself!” Ji Chun’s facial expression was icy, revealing a sharp gaze.

 “Chap? What did you call me? ‘This chap’?” Ji Mo turned and looked at Ji Chun aggressively with a dark glow in his eyes.

 “So what?” Ji Chun lifted his chin and looked at him with ridicule.

 “Ji Chun, I dare you to say it again!” Ji Lin’er became agitated. A ray of light flickered in her eyes and True Qi started to emanate from her body.

 Instantly, Ji Chun looked terrified while facing Ji Lin’er. He would never be a match for her.

 “Second Sister, don’t interrupt. I’ll handle this myself.” Ji Mo blocked Ji Lin’er with his hand, and under the watchful eyes of the entire family, he walked toward Ji Chun slowly.

 This shocked everyone. Even Father Ji and Mother Ji were surprised, but they did not stop him as if they were looking forward to something that was about to happen.

 “What? Do you want to attack me too? With your puny methods?” Ji Chun was on the verge of falling out with Ji Mo. As Ji Mo got closer, he was full of sneers. Then, powerful energy erupted from his body. This energy did not materialize, but it carried enormous oppression that could be felt.

 “Hmph!”

 Ji Mo snorted, and at the same time, the Celestial Devil Power hidden beneath his flesh and blood erupted, letting out a deafening boom. Rolling thunder could be heard from his body as the massive Celestial Devil Power dispersed outward, immediately suppressing the energy that Ji Chun emitted.

 Roar!

 A bellow came from Ji Mo’s chest. It was like a devilish celestial being, as though an ancient demon was awakening.
