Chapter 25: Thunder Tribulation

Chapter 25: Thunder Tribulation

The plants on the flowerbed and fence of the coffee shop grew vigorously in the spring, hiding Ji Jing's figure very tightly. The rain outside also blocked Ji Jing's footsteps, so she was forced to overhear their conversation.

In the cover of the rain, Song Chao's voice was somewhat unclear, but Ji Hui's words were clearly transmitted to Ji Jing's ears.

"Do you know Ji Jing?" Ji Hui asked.

Song Chao didn't know who he was referring to and asked in return, "Who? Your sister who just returned home? No, I don't know her."

Ji Hui frowned, "Yes, it's her. The girl who was just walking with you earlier, don't you know?"

Song Chao was surprised, "Zizhu Daochang? Your real sister is Zizhu Daochang?"

Ji Hui was not pleased with his words and said, "What do you mean by real or not real? Yao Yao is also my real sister."

Song Chao nodded, "Okay, okay, I misspoke. You must have heard about my KTV's situation. Zizhu Daochang is the one I went to the Taoist Association to ask for help."

Ji Hui looked at him disapprovingly, "How can you believe in these superstitious things?"

Song Chao smiled, "This is not superstition. Zizhu Daochang has real skills!"

Unfortunately, he had signed a confidentiality agreement with the Taoist Association and could not disclose more to other people.

Speaking of that confidentiality agreement, Song Chao initially thought it was just a scare tactic, but it turned out to be real!

Ji Hui sneered, "What real skills? She's just using smoke and mirrors to deceive people. The head of that Taoist temple asked us for five million yuan as soon as he opened his mouth. What kind of real skills can be taught in such a place?"

"And," Ji Hui added, "She is very good at using the people around her. She saved someone a few days ago, and the next day, she used some means to raise her own fame on TV. She has only been back at the Ji family for a short time, and she's already able to get close to your Song family. I don't know how she did it, but think about it. Even if she really has some skills, would the Taoist temple send an underage girl alone to the KTV?"

Ji Hui's tone was firm and logically clear, and Song Chao was a bit shaken.

But what he had just witnessed was unlikely to be fake. Moreover, Zizhu Daochang was also a reliable friend recommended by someone else, and Song Chao did not doubt him.

There might be some misunderstanding here, Song Chao thought.

But he couldn't meddle in other people's family affairs and just gave a few simple words of advice.

Ji Jing listened to Ji Hui's words clearly from behind the fence. She clenched her fingers, not expecting that this was how Ji Hui thought of her. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝐨𝐦

Ji Jing had always been bold and dared to think and do things. She would never fear other people's judgments on what she had done.

The temple master did indeed ask for five million, and no matter what the Ji family said, she could accept it. But saving lives was a sudden event, and she never intentionally planned to make herself famous. As for the Song family, she only acted on behalf of the Taoist Association and had no idea who the Song family was!

But she never did any of these things, so how could Ji Hui just make such unfounded speculations?

Suddenly, a bright light interrupted her.

"Boom!"

The dark sky was suddenly illuminated by lightning, followed by deafening thunder.

Ji Jing came to her senses and looked up. The sky was already as dark as midnight.

The rain came quickly. After only a few minutes, the drizzle became heavier and heavier. Puddles had formed on the road, and the lightning and thunder...

Wait!

Ji Jing suddenly reacted. Could this be her tribulation?!

But wasn't Ji Hui behind her? Why was the lightning coming towards her?

The temple master said that the divination showed that they could temporarily avoid the tribulation by staying close to the Ji family. Did this divination not refer to being near the Ji family, but to entering their house?

The last tribulation had directly destroyed the temple's house. This time it would definitely be even bigger, and she had to leave quickly!

But this was the city center! There were so many people on the road. If the tribulation struck someone nearby, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Ji Jing didn't care about anything else and rushed into the rain, instinctively heading towards a place with fewer people.

Soon, Ji Jing was drenched, and the rain continued to get heavier. Later on, the raindrops hitting her body even caused a dull pain like small stones.

"Hoo...ha..." Ji Jing gasped, shuttling through the alleys.
