Chapter 916 - Relatives in High Places

“Jade Peak Sect?” The reception disciples frowned. There were too many small sects in the Sacred Realm of Sects, so they had never heard of the Jade Peak Sect before.

“My second uncle is Yue Qingjie.” Wei Zhixuan saw that they had never heard of the Jade Peak Sect, so he quickly mentioned Yue Qingjie’s name.

“So you’re a relative of Martial Uncle Yue! Are you here to congratulate Uncle Yue?” The disciple didn’t look as unwelcoming as earlier, but it was obvious that Wei Zhixuan was not too significant in his eyes. These days, when people wanted something, they always tried to rely on their relatives. Obviously, the disciple classified Wei Zhixuan as that kind of person.

“Exactly, exactly.” Wei Zhixuan thought that as long as he mentioned his second uncle’s name, they would definitely greet him with a smile. He didn’t think that they would still be indifferent towards him. Wei Zhixuan was a little angry, but he could not show it, so he just kept smiling.

“Then you all follow me in,” the disciple said to Wei Zhixuan.

“Thank you, fellow brothers, thank you.” Wei Zhixuan hurriedly bowed and followed them into Flowing Clouds Sect with his men.

Along the way, seeing the magnificent and majestic buildings of the Flowing Clouds Sect was like entering a fairytale land. Wei Zhixuan and the rest were fascinated, but also extremely cautious when they walked, in fear of stepping and breaking anything which they could not afford.

“Brother Yue, here is a person named Wei... Wei something. He said that he is your relative and came to congratulate Senior Brother Yue on his birthday.” They arrived at a spacious house, and the leading disciple spoke to a young man in his early twenties. He obviously had no respect for Wei Zhixuan, not even bothering to remember his name.

This young man was Yue Qingjie’s eldest son, Yue Pingjian.

Yue Pingjian had been in a bad mood these past few days. Originally, he was the only son of the Yue family and had considerably acceptable potential. Relying on the elixirs accumulated in his family for generations, he had reached the realm of True Essence at the age of sixteen. Although this kind of aptitude and strength could not be compared to those famous geniuses in the realm, it was still a rare sight among the descendants of the Yue family. He originally thought that with this kind of strength, the Yue family’s business would sooner or later fall into his hands, but who would have guessed that his father’s old tree was still blooming. He was already eighty years old but he really didn’t act like it.

The old man had a son, and he loved that little wretch so much. Just a few days after he was born, he collected miraculous elixirs and medicines for him to wash his meridians and dredge his marrows. Seeing that made Yue Pingjian jealous and uneasy. If that little troublemaker had good innate talent, it was fearful that the Yue family’s business would not be Yue Pingjian’s anymore.

Coincidentally, it was just in time for the old man’s 80th birthday, so a double-happiness banquet was held at the door. Although most of the gifts from the guests were not expensive, there were still some good things. For sure, they would all fall into the hands of that little monster.

Thinking of this, Yue Pingjian felt very uncomfortable, and didn’t look too happy when he heard that someone had come to celebrate the occasion.

“You are...?” Yue Pingjian glanced at Wei Zhixuan impatiently, not recognizing who he was, but feeling like he seemed a little familiar.

“Eldest younger cousin brother, I’m the elder cousin of your second aunt’s brother-in-law’s third nephew from the third house! You don’t remember me?.” Wei Zhixuan went forward and introduced himself warmly.

“Second aunt’s house...little brother-in-law’s house... third grandpa’s... fourth nephew’s cousin...” Yue Pingjian’s head was spinning, and even Wei Zhixuan’s subordinates were stunned. Wanting to rely on and take advantage of such a relative seemed a little absurd.
