Chapter 19: That sickly guy is actually a master of metaphysics?

Ji Huaiyuan's fingers could not be reattached in the end.

When she heard the news, she was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she wished she could kill Ji Huaizhi.

He actually made himself a cripple?

"How is this possible? We found the finger, so how come it can't be reattached?" Baiyun exclaimed excitedly.

Ji Huaiming stood to the side, eyes lowered, saying nothing.

"Mom, what should I do? I don't have any fingers anymore. Who will want to be with me like this?" Ji Huaiyuan couldn't bear the thought of how others would look at her in the future.

"Don't worry, Mom will figure something out!"

Turning to Ji Qingshan, she said, "You'd better think of something! If our daughter really loses her fingers, do you think you, as her father, will look good?"

"That's too cruel! He's just too cruel!" Ji Huaiyuan broke down in tears in her mother's arms.

"He made me disabled just because of what I said."

Bai Yun was furious, wondering what Ji Qingshan had said to Old Master Ji last night.

There's no reaction at all.

When Ji Huai came downstairs, he wasn't wearing his Taoist uniform. Dressed in his everyday clothes, he looked like a gentle and refined nobleman.

Ji Huaiming looked at this older brother.

That feeling of excitement welled up inside me again.

"Your sister's finger can't be reattached, are you satisfied now?" Baiyun stepped forward.

He looked extremely angry.

"Oh?" Ji Huaizhi looked at Ji Huaiming, a smile in his eyes: "You couldn't connect after finding it last night?"

Ji Huaiming tilted his head.

I missed his gaze.

"Why are you so cruel? You came back just to collect a debt!" Bai Yun angrily launched into a personal attack: "You didn't listen to a word I just said!"

"You don't love your younger siblings, you hurt them instead!"

Ji Huaiyuan glared at him fiercely, tears welling in her eyes.

The look in his eyes was so intense, it seemed he wanted to tear him apart and drink his blood.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Baiyun became angry: "What kind of attitude is this?"

"Ms. Bai, just because I call you 'mother' does that mean you really can be my mother?"

Ji Huaizhi's words were hurtful and blunt.

I call you Mother, but I don't really consider you my mother.

It's just a title; don't put yourself on a pedestal.

"It's not your place to lecture me. If I were you, I'd go to the hospital to get checked out first. Maybe there will be some other surprises."

Baiyun was furious.

Ji Qingshan stood up: "Alright, if you can't keep up, you can't keep up. Who would dare to look down on the young lady of the Ji family?"

"Go to the hospital first to see what they say, and put your finger back on."

Ji Huaizhi smiled and looked at Ji Huaiming: "Are you coming along?"

Ji Huaiming's fingers twitched: "Of course I'll go. After all, she's my sister, and I definitely have to go and protect her."

Ji Huaiyuan looked at her brother with teary eyes: "Brother, you're the best to me. Not just anyone can be my brother!"

The following sentence refers to Ji Huaizhi.

She doesn't dare to confront him now.

He cut off his own finger, but his father and grandfather didn't react at all. She felt that if they fought again, she would be the one who suffered.

Ji Huaizhi chuckled: "Then I wish you all the best. I'll take my senior and junior brothers out for a stroll."

Ji Qingshan looked up: "The Ji family has people to pick you up and drop you off. If you're not used to it, you can ask your uncle to show you around Liancheng. After all, you have the surname Ji, so don't let people laugh at you."

"The Metaphysics Conference won't be long, and you'll definitely have to participate in the name of the Ji family. You and your fellow disciples can do as you please at the Ji family."

Ji Huaizhi didn't speak, he just looked at the brother and sister.

I thought the scene of them turning against each other would be quite exciting.

Just as he was about to leave, Ji Huaiming clutched his chest and frowned.

Baiyun said worriedly, "You seem to be in pain more and more frequently lately."

Looking at her son, who was so tall and strong, and who hadn't considered a partner yet because of his heart condition, her gaze fell on Ji Huaizhi. She hadn't actually finished speaking last night.

Ji Qingshan's gaze fell on Huaiyuan.

Unaware of her father's gaze, Ji Huaiyuan looked at Ji Huaiming with concern: "Brother, are you alright?"

"Are you alright?" Ji Huaiming's forehead was covered in sweat, as if he was trying to hold it in. "Let's go to the hospital to check your hand first."

"You should stay home," Baiyun said with concern.

"Yes, it's fine if Mom comes with me."

"No, I'll only feel at ease if I go with them. It's alright, I'm fine now. I'm actually used to this kind of anxiety and palpitations." Ji Huaiming's smile was somewhat forced.

"Brother, you are so good to me."

Ji Huaiyuan was deeply moved.

"Let's go," Ji Qingshan said.

Ji Huaizhi watched the family leave, his thin frame looking somewhat lonely.

When Wang Gui came down from the mountain, he felt that Ji Huaizhi looked very pitiful.

They had just been looking at it from up there for a long time.

"Senior Brother Ji, don't worry about them. That guy doesn't look like he'll live past you," Wang Shan comforted him.

Wang Gui grabbed his junior brother by the neck: "Some things are better left unsaid, just keep them to yourself."

"hey-hey."

Ji Huaizhi coughed: "Let's eat breakfast first, then we'll go out for a walk later."

"So we're really going to live here?" Wang Gui asked, puzzled.

He was actually a little worried, seeing Huaizhi here watching his family being so loving and affectionate, and he felt sad.

“We don’t have to live here. Master has a courtyard in Liancheng, so we can move there.”

Wang Gui: "Then let's go stay there. Even if you don't feel anything for it now, you'll get annoyed after a while."

"Besides, it's not convenient to practice here."

“That’s fine too.” Ji Huaizhi had no objection.

"Don't worry about anything else, the Metaphysics Conference is about to begin, and you can make an appearance this year." Wang Gui wanted to comfort him, but she was tongue-tied: "There are also many female disciples, so you can make new friends then."

"I remember my senior brother was really looking forward to the metaphysics conference, was it because there were girls there?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a monk too."
