Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 21 Ah Ah Ah

"Fourth Brother, how are your injuries?"

In the quiet courtyard of Great Victory Pass, Zhu Bo found Feng Si, who had a pale face and a persistent cough, and handed him some medicine.

"It's nothing serious, I won't die."

Feng Si took the medicine and complained, "Big Brother, I was really messed up by Second Young Master this time. That kid's cultivation is superb, I'm no match for him."

The intelligence came from Zhu Bo, and Feng Si didn't dare to criticize their own boss, so he blamed Zhu Kui.

He didn't blame the wrong person. Zhu Kui was the primary source of intelligence, and if anything went wrong, it was his fault.

Zhu Bo knew he was in an awkward position and said with some doubt, "Although Second Brother is usually unreliable, he has been in business for many years and has a good eye. Is that kid really as powerful as you say? Or is it that you didn't go all out and accidentally lost?"

"Big Brother, look at my appearance, does it look like I didn't go all out?"

Feng Si smiled bitterly and said, "That kid has a profound understanding of military knife techniques and a solid foundation of blood energy. He knocked me down with just one strike. He didn't want to make a big fuss, so he gave Second Young Master some face and gave me a pill to take. He didn't give me too much trouble."

Zhu Bo nodded, realizing that the kid handled the situation very well and was quite remarkable.

In that case, let Zhu Kui bring some gifts to apologize and make friends with each other. It would be a good story.

"Big Brother, please remember, in the future, let Second Young Master be more accurate in judging people. This kid is not an ordinary cultivator."

Feng Si was still upset and added, "If I'm not mistaken, just based on the level of that one strike, his cultivation is not inferior to yours, Big Brother."

"I understand."

Zhu Bo nodded, becoming more certain of the idea of making friends.

"There's one more thing..."

Feng Si smiled awkwardly and said, "Big Brother, please don't get angry when you hear this."

"Fourth Brother, with your current tone, it's hard for me not to get angry."

"That kid took my Universe Bag. Apart from a few rare items, the token was also inside."

"..."

Zhu Bo's face turned dark, and he didn't say a word for a while.

Heaven Ascending Gate had a bad reputation. Although it wasn't universally despised, it was the type of sect with very few friends.

The main reason...

Once it involved ancestral graves, it was difficult for everyone to sit down and reason calmly. It was a very practical problem. Who knew if Heaven Ascending Gate would still exist a hundred years later and if it would disturb their own graves.

Moreover, a profession of grave robbing and tomb digging could actually form alliances and factions. It was really shameless.

In the cultivation world, on the surface, everything seemed calm, but behind the scenes, everyone was cursing and quickly calling friends to dig up hidden relics before Heaven Ascending Gate.

That's how cultivation was.

Of course, Zhu Bo's expression was unpleasant not only because Feng Si's identity was exposed, but also for another more important reason.

Zhu Ting, the Prefect of Eastern Qi County, and Lin Boxian, the person in charge of Extreme Monarch Sect's Great Victory Pass, both had private dealings with Heaven Ascending Gate.

Every time Zhu Bo went out on a mission, he would divide the items he found into different grades. Ordinary items would be directly dealt with or handed over to their own business. High-level goods would pass through Zhu Ting's hands and be handed over to Lin Boxian for processing.

Everyone made money, practiced techniques, and shared Law Treasures. The cooperation had been pleasant so far.

But now it wasn't pleasant anymore.

If this matter were to spread, their reputations would be ruined.

It would affect their official careers.

"This is really strange..."

Zhu Bo cursed inwardly. Last time, Zhu Kui mistook Lu Bei for a spy and exposed himself by offering money and favors. This time, it was his turn, and the situation was even worse.

The two brothers hadn't had any good luck since they met Lu Bei.

The most unjust thing for Zhu Bo was that he had never met Lu Bei before, never even seen his face, so why should he be the one to suffer?

"Big brother, the Universe Bag is in that kid's hands. I think he has already seen the token. What should we do about this... I'll listen to your decision."

"..."

"Big brother, why aren't you saying anything?"

"What's there to say? I'm going home to get money."

...

Wei Mansion, backyard.

Under the tree, there was a stone table and stone stools, two pots of fine wine, and several plates of delicate dishes.

The Zhu brothers arrived with generous gifts, and Lu Bei played the host to entertain them. Wei Mao was not present. When Lu Bei saw the Heaven Ascending Gate token, he had some suspicions but did not show them. If Wei Mao had attended, it would have likely made Zhu Ting think he was taking advantage of the situation.

That wouldn't be appropriate, it's not the way of an official.

Lu Bei raised his wine cup and smiled, "Brothers, my eldest cousin has been an official for many years but hasn't gained much wealth. Therefore, our family is poor. If there is any place where I can entertain you, please forgive him for his honest service as an official. I'll drink a cup first to apologize."

The Zhu brothers didn't look very good, but they picked up their wine cups and drank, all with a gloomy expression.

"Young Master Kui, why are you just drinking and not eating?"

"Young Master Bo, I've heard of your name. I'll toast to you."

"..."

After three cups of wine, Lu Bei kept saying "eat well, drink well," but he didn't mention the token. Zhu Kui couldn't help but glance at his elder brother, who remained silent, before speaking up first.

"Brother Lu, the blame for today's incident is on me. Here is a small gift as an apology. Please accept it, as you are a generous person."

Zhu Kui drank three cups in a row, then took out a prepared food box. "The grudges between you and me were just a misunderstanding. I, Zhu, have already accepted it and won't cause any more trouble in the future."

"Brother Kui, what you're saying is confusing. You're making me confused."

Lu Bei took the food box without even looking at it and put it directly into the Universe Bag. Then he asked in confusion, "What happened today? Didn't we settle our little misunderstanding between us at Bright Moon Tower?"

"Brother Lu, I have already accepted it. Please don't play tricks on me anymore." Zhu Kui shook his head repeatedly.

"Brother Kui, it was a misunderstanding. I'm just doing business with the money. I've completely forgotten about it."

Lu Bei smiled and replied. Under the surprised gaze of the Zhu brothers, he placed the Universe Bag that Feng Si had lost on the street in front of them. "It's infuriating. Today, a group of thieves robbed my carriage, using your name, Brother Kui. I got angry at the time and beat them up severely, and sternly rebuked their attempts to sow discord..."

Lu Bei spoke nonsense, but the Zhu brothers didn't pay any attention. Zhu Kui cautiously reached out his hand towards the Universe Bag.

Smack!

Lu Bei slapped Zhu Kui's hand, his eyebrows dancing. "That's right, I slapped the leader, Feng Si, away. After he fled, I found this Universe Bag. Brother Kui, you're a businessman. Can you tell me how much it's worth?"

What's the meaning of this? Didn't you just receive money? Why are you asking again?

Zhu Kui widened his eyes. According to what his elder brother said, this was insulting and disrespectful.

Without giving him a chance to get angry, Lu Bei quickly said, "To be honest, I have limited cultivation and am the kind of person who gets bullied by everyone. I found the Universe Bag but couldn't open it. I can only trouble Brother Kui. We're brothers, and I believe you won't let me suffer."

"We're brothers, of course I won't let you suffer."

Zhu Bo, who had been silent all along, spoke up, picked up the Universe Bag, and opened it. He found it empty except for a token, which was very conspicuous. He couldn't help but twitch his eyes and put it in his pocket.

"With Brother Bo saying that, I can rest assured."

Lu Bei raised his wine cup and happily clinked it with Zhu Bo. Zhu Kui, on the other hand, lost interest. He knew that he would be the one paying for the Universe Bag.

The three of them ate and drank, appearing friendly on the surface. After half an hour, Zhu Bo suddenly spoke up, "Brother Lu, you're a smart person. Let's not beat around the bush. I'm sure you've already figured it out."

"What have I figured out?"

"My second brother, Zhu Kui, is from the Heaven Ascending Gate."

"Ah! Ah? Ah..."
