The group all pointed at the headless man. "He was the one who said he wanted to humiliate you and deliberately threw bones at you. We didn't approve, but he wouldn't listen!"

Onlookers: "..."

If I remember correctly, you were just bullying an old person together, weren't you?

They all saw it with their own eyes, okay?

The person is dead, and you're still making him take the blame? Don't you have any conscience?

"Ha, that sounds nice, you're all birds of a feather."

The old man didn't believe it at all. Holding the dagger, he stepped forward with a cold smile and plunged it directly into their hearts. "This is what happens when you underestimate the enemy!"

After all the generals were killed, the old man collapsed to the ground as if he had suddenly lost all his strength.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Ji Fanya quickly stepped forward and helped the old man up. "If you are not doing well here, go to the capital of Western Zhou and say that you are a member of the Ji family. They will take good care of you."

"Ji family...child, what is your mother's name?"

However, the old man did not answer. After hearing Ji Fanya's words, he became excited and grabbed Ji Fanya's hand to ask him more questions.

"My mother?"

Ji Fanya was taken aback and asked with some doubt, "She is the former Princess Fenghe of the Dongyan Dynasty, Bei Qingling."

Now, Princess Fenghe's affair is no longer a secret, and Ji Fanya has nothing to hide anymore.

"Xiao Ling's child, it really is Xiao Ling's child!"

Upon hearing this, the old man's tears instantly welled up. "Child, I've finally met you..."

"Who are you?"

Seeing the old man's expression, it was clear he recognized him. Ji Fanya was slightly taken aback, a look of doubt on his face.

"Isn't that the old man of the Nie family?"

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up, "Back then, because of Princess Fenghe's affair, Consort Rong's family, the Nie family, were implicated and went from being imperial relatives to prisoners overnight, and were exiled to the border town."

"I had heard that the Nie family was having a hard time, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"That's right. Back then, Old Master Nie was a powerful expert in the Heavenly Profound Realm. I never thought he would fall to such a state."

"..."

Listening to the constant chatter around him, Ji Fanya stared blankly at the old man in front of him.

Seemingly understanding something, she looked at Old Master Nie and asked softly, "You...you are?"

“Child, I am your mother’s maternal grandfather, which means I am your great-grandfather.”

Old Master Nie, holding Ji Fanya's hand with tears streaming down his face, was about to kneel down before him, pleading, "Child, I beg you, please save the Nie family..."

"Please get up and let's talk this out."

Seeing this, Ji Fanya quickly stepped forward and helped the person to a seat. He then took out a box of food and said, "I see you're not feeling well. Eat something first. I'll help if I can."

"Um…"

Originally, Grandpa Nie wanted to refuse, but after seeing the food, he was immediately attracted. After swallowing his saliva, he picked it up and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

This food is absolutely delicious. In all his years, even before the Nie family's misfortune, he had never eaten such delicious food.

Moreover, I never felt very full after eating; my stomach felt comfortable, my body felt warm, and I felt much younger.

However, the grandmother and grandson, who were so focused on eating, didn't notice that the onlookers were already drooling profusely.
