“How dare you all!” Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes, feeling an intense urge to use her Five-Blow-Thunderstruck to reduce these guys to ashes.
Observing Ji Fengyan’s reaction, a spark of amusement flashed across Ji Qiu’s eyes, even as he put on a regretful expression. “You were unconscious then and we didn’t know the exact situation. The Lei family had personally knocked on our doors, so... sigh... we don’t know if they have already used the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed.”
The moment Ji Qiu finished his sentence, Ji Fengyan suddenly vanished from the study.
Those guys could do whatever they wanted—Ji Fengyan was only focused on retrieving the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed.
Watching Ji Fengyan’s rapidly departing profile, Ji Qiu’s lips curled in a smile.
Ji Mubai frowned as he witnessed the entire scene from the sidelines. Looking at the broken sword left behind by Ji Fengyan, an uneasy feeling troubled him.
“Father, Ji Fengyan...”
Ji Qiu gave a slight wave. “We no longer need to concern ourselves with her. That Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed is extremely important to her and the Lei family will never hand it over easily. We just need to sit by and enjoy the fight.”
With that, Ji Qiu looked at Ji Mubai. “Have you used the item sent by the Lei family?”
Ji Mubai nodded.
Ji Qiu smiled in return.
“That’s good. As arrogant as she is, Ji Fengyan’s days are numbered.”
Ji He stepped forward. “Big Brother truly has the smarts, knowing to make use of the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed to stir up trouble between Ji Fengyan and the Lei family. At first, I still didn’t comprehend why Big Brother gave the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed to the Lei family. I understand it now.”
Ji Qiu raised his eyebrows. “The Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed is rare, but...” He narrowed his eyes. “It is not as important as the World-Termination-Armour.”
“Big Brother is indeed wise! I am full of admiration!” Ji He was quick to suck up to Ji Qiu, even as he lifted up the collapsed Ji Qingshang. “Qingshang, don’t worry. The Lei family will help us teach Ji Fengyan a good lesson.”
Biting her lips, Ji Qingshang quietly nodded.
The Ji family didn’t know that their actions today would bring untold disaster upon them in the future.
All would be revealed in due course.
As Ji Fengyan rushed towards the Lei family residence, she was repeatedly cursing Ji Qiu: that sly old fox. Even though her inner core had “for no apparent reason” recovered some, the spiritual energy from that Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed was equally crucial.
Ji Fengyan reached the main gates of the Lei family residence after a short while. The Lei family guards noticed her approach and immediately sent news of her arrival.
They promptly threw the main gates of the Lei family residence open. The guards then escorted Ji Fengyan all the way into the grand hall.
Seated on the main seat inside the hall was a white-haired and stern-looking elder. By his side stood Lei Qin and several members of the Lei family. They all turned to look as Ji Fengyan slowly walked in—their eyes full of animosity and scorn.
The moment Ji Fengyan entered the hall, the old man solemnly asked, “Ji Fengyan, why have you come to the Lei family residence?”
Ji Fengyan raised her eyes toward the elderly man – who was none other than Lei Kai, the current head of the Lei family. Lei Kai had previously visited the Ji family during the betrothal of Ji Fengyan’s former self to Lei Min. They had met once then, but Lei Kai had scarcely glanced at her the entire time.
Ji Fengyan replied in a neutral tone. “I am here to retrieve the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed!”
