Chapter 22 That sickly guy is actually a master of metaphysics?

Ji Huaiyuan trembled slightly after hanging up the phone.

She couldn't let Ji Huaizhi block her brother's path, and she didn't want to die.

It would have been better if only Ji Huaizhi had been sacrificed, and things could have been back to normal.

My older brother is my parents' pride, while I am still their little darling.

"Uncle, have you found Yuanyuan?" Old Master Ji's eyes were cloudy.

The old man had just hung up the phone when he said, "The master called and said they haven't found him yet, but the doctor said the second young master's condition is under control, so we can wait a little longer."

"Um."

“I told you that girls can be raised casually, but look, they still let her heart run wild.”

Upon hearing this while squatting at the door, Ji Huaiyuan's eyes flashed with hatred.

The old man smiled but didn't say anything; as a servant, he didn't want to interfere in his master's affairs.

"Sir, why don't you take a nap after your medicine?"

Master Ji took the pill, first taking a sip of water to moisten his throat, then tilting his head back to swallow it.

"I'll call Huaizhi later and ask him to come over for dinner tonight."

"yes."

Ji Huaiyuan frowned. Her grandfather was really senile; he actually invited him to dinner.

My brother is still in the hospital; all he can think about is that sickly guy.

Since that's the case, Grandpa, please don't blame me.

Ji Huaiyuan got up and hid at the corner.

The secret talisman he was holding was slightly damp with sweat.

A short while later, the old man came out of the old man's room and closed the door. Ji Huaiyuan waited for a while because she was nervous before coming out herself.

Gently turn the doorknob downwards, go inside, and close the door.

She could hear her own heartbeat, and beads of sweat slid down her cheeks: Grandpa, it's all your fault.

It's all because you wouldn't let Ji Huaizhi give his heart to his brother.

It's all your fault.

Ji Huaiyuan stood beside Grandpa Ji's bed.

The shadow fell on the old man's face, and as she took out her magic weapon, the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were sharp, and his voice was deep: "What do you want?"

Startled, Ji Huaiyuan's hand trembled, and the magic weapon slashed down.

Grandpa Ji didn't expect her to actually make a move, and he was caught off guard and hit directly.

Seeing him immediately make a hand seal, Ji Huaiyuan did not hesitate and delivered the final blow to her grandfather.

Looking down at his chest, pierced by her magical artifact, Old Master Ji's eyes still flashed with disbelief: "You actually..."

Startled, Ji Huaiyuan quickly pulled out her magic weapon, only to hear her grandfather let out a painful, ferocious scream.

"Well......"

"I'm sorry, I had no choice. Who told you not to let Ji Huaizhi die?"

Seeing her grandfather lying dead on the bed with his eyes wide open, Ji Huaiyuan left without looking back.

Her most important task right now is to stay hidden.

Just stay away.

When Ji Yao returned home, he frowned. Something felt off.

"Uncle, where's Dad?"

The old man had just hung up the phone when he called Ji Huaizhi, but the other party did not answer. He planned to call back later.

"The master is resting in his room after taking his medicine."

As Ji Yao went upstairs, the feeling of unease grew stronger even before he reached the door. When he got to the door, he smelled a strong stench of blood and knew something was wrong.

He pushed open the door and his pupils contracted upon seeing the scene before him.

"Uncle!"

"Ring ring~"

Bai Yun was peeling fruit for her son when she heard the phone ring. She put down what she was doing, and Ji Huaiming looked over, his eyes showing a different expression.

"Hello?"

"What?"

Old Master Ji died a violent death at home.

Ji Qingshan stared at the wound with a somber expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Everyone in the Ji family, except for his three children, is here.

He could tell what kind of magical artifact had caused the injury, and others could tell as well.

Ji Yao looked at his father's corpse. He hated his father. He hadn't even destroyed the Ji family yet, but his father was killed.

"Ji Qingshan, what are you going to do?"

"Will you do it yourself, or shall we do it?"

Bai Yun was horrified when she saw Old Master Ji's chest and fainted immediately. How could Huai Yuan dare to do that?

Ji Qingshan waited a long time before speaking: "I'll do it myself."

After hearing the whole story, Ji Huaiming cursed Ji Huaiyuan in his heart for being such a fool, for not even bothering to make a move.

He just made himself look stupid.

"Brother, what should I do? I'm so scared. I feel like they're going to find me."

Ji Huaiming frowned: [Destroy your phone now and hide well, conceal your presence. I'll be discharged from the hospital now. I'll stop the Ji family; you just need to stay hidden.]

Don't worry, I've got everything covered.

When Ji Huaiyuan received the message from her brother, she was so trembling that she could barely hold her phone.

Seeing that everything my brother posted included me finally brought me comfort.

Thankfully, I have my older brother.

Okay, brother, I'll hide it well.

After sending the message, he looked around, picked up a rock, and started smashing his phone repeatedly.

Finally, they smashed the screen to pieces before stopping.

After a while, Ji Huaiming made a call, and raised an eyebrow when he heard that the other party could not answer.

"Young Master, would you like to go find Miss?"

"No need, just pack up and go back to the Ji family."

When Wang Gui came to find Ji Huaizhi, his expression was somewhat solemn: "Old Master Ji has passed away."

Ji Huaizhi gave a soft "hmm".

"You know?" Wang Gui asked, surprised.

"The Ji family called around the time the incident occurred."

Wang Gui remained silent.

He always felt that since he came down the mountain, his junior brother had become so different that he almost didn't recognize him anymore.

"With the passing of Old Master Ji, the Ji family is almost completely destroyed." Ji Huaizhi said with a smile in his eyes, seemingly quite satisfied with the outcome.

"Ji Huaiyuan is such an idiot, it's really surprising. She can do something like this with just a few words."

Wang Shan's eyes widened: "She killed him?"

Ji Huaizhi patted his junior brother's head: "Wangshan, are you happy?"

Wang Shan was puzzled: "I'm not familiar with the Ji family, so I don't care whether they get into trouble or not."

Ji Huaizhi chuckled, but then he coughed a little.

Wang Gui couldn't stand it anymore and poured him a bowl of water: "Alright, do you still want to get involved in the Ji family's mess?"

"As long as the Ji family remains in chaos, I'll just watch from the sidelines."

Wang Gui understood.

He'd watch the show if the Ji family was doing badly, but if they were doing well, he'd stir things up.

Everyone has been searching for Ji Huaiyuan for a long time, but they still haven't found her.

Gradually, the Ji family became dissatisfied, believing that Ji Qingshan was hiding people and refusing to hand them over.

Ji Yao, dressed in mourning clothes, watched all this with a cold face. He suddenly felt that he didn't even need to take revenge himself, as the Ji family was already almost finished.

The hall was filled with a great deal of noise.

When Ji Huaiming saw Ji Huaizhi enter alone, his eyes lit up with excitement.

It's finally here.

He thought that Ji Huaizhi wouldn't dare to come because he believed the only person in the Ji family who protected him was dead.

"Grandpa has been so good to you, and you're only coming now. How can you live up to Grandpa's high regard for you?" Ji Huaiming pointed at Ji Huaizhi.

The two brothers looked sickly, making others think that the Ji family was doomed.
