"Hmph, that brat's performance was actually quite decent! He finally acts a bit like a disciple of mine, Ancestor Ji Kong!"
Ancestor Ji Kong, upon seeing Zhuo Chengdao, learned of Jia Ren's performance in the Heiyuan Secret Realm.
Zhuo Chengdao relayed the events with considerable embellishment.
"Without Junior Brother Jia, it would have been impossible to successfully conquer the Heiyuan Secret Realm. Who knows what variables might have arisen?"
Jia Ren, who was keen on avoiding battle, was a thorn in Ancestor Ji Kong's side.
An adopted son should be like Ma Tianbao!
Whenever he bragged to old friends about his adopted son Ma Tianbao, someone would bring up Jia Ren.
Ancestor Ji Kong felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat, dampening his enthusiasm for boasting about his adopted son.
He couldn't just kick Jia Ren off the list of disciples, could he? After all, Jia Ren was the 'bonus' disciple that came with the 'purchased' adopted son.
