Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

Ji Boying's pupils suddenly contracted.

It's only been a month, and the demonic cultivators have already started settling in the main city?

Moreover, judging by the appearance of these demonic cultivators, it seems like... they want to settle inside the Yunzhong Mansion?!

Ji Boying took a deep breath and walked towards the gate of Yunzhong Mansion.

Before long, he arrived at the steward's hall, and despite the time that had passed, everything inside the hall remained unchanged. It still had the familiar layout and the familiar old man...

"Elder, long time no see!"

Ji Boying greeted the old man in front of him with a slight bow.

The old man was reading some unknown ancient books, but when he heard the voice, he couldn't help but look up.

"Oh? It's Ji Xiaoyou!"

When the old man saw Ji Boying, his face showed a hint of surprise.

There were many tenants here, but... the memory of cultivators far surpassed that of ordinary people. Moreover, Ji Boying had only been in Yunzhong Mansion for a little over a year, and he was also a guest of the Wan Dao Commercial Bank. Naturally, he remembered him.

"Come, Ji Xiaoyou, please have a seat!"

The old man invited Ji Boying to sit down and immediately brewed a cup of tea for him.

Ji Boying didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly across from the old man, smiling.

"I apologize for the sudden visit, did I disturb you, Elder?"

"Where did you get that idea, young friend?"

The old man couldn't help but chuckle.

"I, this old man, usually stays in this steward's hall. If there are no tenants coming, I won't see more than a few people in a year. If a young friend like you can come, I'm so happy that I can't even be bothered. How can it be considered a disturbance?"

"So, does that mean I can come to visit you for a cup of tea often in the future?"

"Hahaha! If the young friend is willing to come, I'm always welcome!"

...

After chatting for a while, Ji Boying put down his teacup and asked about the purpose of his visit.

"I've been in seclusion at home for some time and haven't paid attention to the outside world. Today, when I went out, I saw many demonic cultivators in the mansion. Does that mean that even the inner city has demonic cultivators settling in now?"

The old man raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"The demonic cultivators settled in half a month ago."

"I don't know the specific reason, but... it's not a big deal. Although those demonic cultivators are cruel and ruthless, as long as they don't provoke others or become targets themselves, there won't be any problems."

Ji Boying nodded and continued to ask.

"So, are there demonic cultivators living in Yunzhong Mansion as well?"

The old man nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes, in the past half month, many demonic cultivators have come one after another. There are already more than fifty demonic cultivators renting out of the three hundred small courtyards in the mansion."

"Furthermore..."

The old man paused and continued.

"The neighbor next door and the one across the street are also demonic cultivators."

Ji Boying's heart tightened upon hearing this.

Both his neighbor and the one across the street are demonic cultivators?!

Doesn't that mean Ning'er and Qing'er could be targeted at any time?

The old man seemed to have noticed Ji Boying's nervousness and paused before saying.

"If the young friend feels that this courtyard is not suitable, there are still many vacant courtyards in the mansion. Although they may be adjacent to demonic cultivators to some extent, there are also many righteous cultivators around. It won't be surrounded by demonic cultivators, and you won't have to worry every day."

Ji Boying was somewhat tempted by this, but...

After thinking about it, he ultimately gave up.

Moving now would be too obvious. It would be better to stay in the current courtyard.

As long as Ning'er and Qing'er stay hidden and don't go out, they might not be targeted.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Elder."

Ji Boying first thanked the old man, then discreetly slipped a few remaining high-grade second-tier talismans from his pocket into the old man's sleeve.

"For now, I don't have any plans to change courtyards. I appreciate your kindness, Elder."

"I came out of seclusion today, and there are still many matters to attend to at the commercial bank. I'll take my leave now, and when I have free time in the future, I'll come to bother you again!"

Ji Boying slightly bowed to the old man and then walked straight towards the gate.

However, just as Ji Boying was about to step over the threshold, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

"They are all in the late stage of Foundation Building."

Ji Boying paused for a moment, thanked the voice, and continued walking outside.

Watching Ji Boying's figure recede into the distance, the old man's sleeves moved slightly, and a few talismans slipped into his hand.

He chuckled softly, as if talking to himself.

"What an interesting young man."

---

After leaving Yunzhong Mansion, Ji Boying went straight to the commercial district.

There were far more demonic cultivators on the main road than he had imagined.

Ji Boying also didn't expect that just a month after the Soul Formation site's prohibition was broken, so many demonic cultivators had entered the city.

If...

If the battle between the righteous and demonic factions ended, and Fulong City completely fell into the hands of demonic cultivators, wouldn't there be few righteous cultivators left in Fulong City?

Thinking of this, Ji Boying sighed lightly and quickened his pace.

After a short while...

He arrived at the entrance of the commercial district.

However, just as Ji Boying was about to enter, he happened to meet two familiar faces coming out.

"Oh! Isn't this Young Master Ji?"

The person was none other than Yun Mama.

As for the person behind her, it was the fairy Moon Yao who performed the dance at the ceremony that day.

"Greetings, Yun Mama."

Ji Boying slightly bowed to the beautiful woman, and then bowed to Moon Yao.

However...

After seeing Ji Boying, the latter's cold face showed no expression.

Perhaps...

This kind of small cultivator with only Foundation Building cultivation base simply didn't catch her eye.

However, Ji Boying didn't mind, the bow was just a matter of courtesy.

"Young Master Ji, are you here to buy something in the commercial district?"

The beautiful woman looked at Ji Boying and smiled.

"Sort of."

Ji Boying replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Ji Boying's words, the beautiful woman couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

However, she didn't ask further.

After all, she had visited Ji Boying's home and met Xiao Ninger, so she knew that Ji Boying was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Perhaps because of something, the beautiful woman didn't engage in too much conversation with Ji Boying this time.

They just chatted for a few moments before bidding farewell:

"I still have some trivial matters with Moon Yao, so we'll leave first."

"Take care, Yun Mama!"

Ji Boying slightly bowed and then turned and walked towards the entrance.

As for the beautiful woman, she stopped in her tracks for some reason and looked in Ji Boying's direction.

Just as Ji Boying entered the gate, a female attendant walked over to him with great respect.

Judging from the attendant's behavior, it seemed that Ji Boying's identity was not simple?

"Mom, we should go."

Moon Yao, who was standing beside her, urged when she saw Yun Mama standing still.

The beautiful woman snapped out of her thoughts, nodded, and then left the commercial district.

However...

She hadn't walked a few steps when she suddenly turned around and walked back towards the commercial district.

Seeing this, a puzzled expression appeared on Moon Yao's face.

Just as she was about to go up and ask, Yun Mama walked up to a steward at the entrance and took out a few spirit stones from her storage bag, smiling and asking:

"Sister, do you know that Young Master Ji from earlier?"
