Ji Fanya bought some things, and the child was a fair-skinned and adorable little boy. The stall owner was very friendly, asking, "Do you know the other person's name?"

"Yes, I know."

Ji Fanya nodded and said, "I remember they have a young master named Ji Wuming."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the stall owner, whose expression had been quite amiable, immediately revealed a strange look, sizing up Ji Fanya and asking, "You're from out of town, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am... I am a distant relative of the Ji family."

Considering Ji Wuming's sensitive identity, Ji Fanya did not reveal his true identity.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you didn't know."

After saying that, the stall owner sighed and said, "Beauty is a curse. Ji Wuming of the Ji family caused the Ji family to be implicated because of the princess of the Dongyan Dynasty. Now, the Ji family no longer exists."

"How could this be..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya froze, stunned as if struck by lightning.

"Yes, although Ji Wuming has severed ties with the Ji family, our dynasty and the Dongyan dynasty have completely fallen out because of this incident, and the emperor will naturally not let the Ji family off the hook."

The vendor, oblivious to Ji Fanya's expression, continued, "The Ji family is pitiful. All the men were killed, and the entire ground at the market was stained red that day. The women fared even worse; after their cultivation was destroyed, they were either enslaved or forced into prostitution. Recently, the top courtesan at Qingyuan Tower in our city was the most talented young lady of the Ji family."

"Thud... thud..."

After hearing this, Ji Fanya trembled violently from the pain and forbearance, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

A deep hatred surged in his heart. The Ji family had actually been treated so cruelly!

The Western Zhou Dynasty was truly going too far!

"Little Cliff".

Seeing this, Di Moyu gently patted his shoulder and took him away.

"Waaaaah..."

Ji Fanya reached out and grabbed Di Moyu's sleeve, crying all the way, attracting the attention of passersby.

After seeing their faces clearly, they couldn't help but look amazed.

Although the two brothers were still young, they were both very good-looking, especially the older one, who exuded an indescribable sense of elegance and nobility.

"Don't cry."

Upon seeing this, Di Moyu frowned slightly. "Noisy."

"But...but I can't stop..."

Ji Fanya knew that crying was shameful, but the overwhelming sadness in his heart made it impossible for him to stop the tears.

He was only seven years old, and upon learning of the tragedy that had befallen his family, he was unable to control his emotions.

"If you cry again, I won't take you to see your sister."

Di Moyu's voice remained cold, yet it subtly conveyed a sense of pity.

He knew that Ji Fanya had been lonely since childhood and must have longed for a home. The current outcome must have saddened him greatly.

"elder sister?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya raised his tear-filled eyes to look at Di Moyu, his gaze still showing a hint of bewilderment.

"Qingyuanlou, go see your cousin."

Di Moyu said calmly, "No matter what, let's find out the situation first; perhaps we can save her."

"Yes, my cousin, she should be my cousin..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fanya nodded happily at first, but quickly lowered his eyes. "If she knew of my existence, would she acknowledge me?"

After all, Ji Wuming was the culprit for the Ji family's current predicament, and as the son of a sinner in the Ji family, he must have been hated by the other side.
