(Chapter 439 onward: Immortal Emperor breaks through apocalypse in a frozen world)
Li Mu cultivated for tens of thousands of years, finally becoming the number one Immortal Emperor in the Imm...
Ji Wenbin also noticed Chen Siqi's somewhat unconvinced expression, but he also had his own things to do, so he just sneered and didn't bother with Chen Siqi.
"Elder Wenbin, are you planning to come to our Jiang family to do some work? I also want to go back to the Jiang family, how about going together?" Jiang Yuer asked tentatively.
"Haha, I was indeed ordered by Ji Zu to go to the Jiang family to do some work, but now it seems that there is no need for me to go to the Jiang family anymore." Ji Wenbin said with a smile.
"What do you mean, Elder?" Jiang Yuer frowned, and at the same time, an ominous feeling arose in her heart.
"Haha, little girl of the Jiang family, no, I should call you Ji Yuer from now on. Have you forgotten your engagement with our Haoxuan? I came here this time, under the order of the ancestor, to take you back to our Ji family!" Ji Wenbin laughed.
Jiang Yuer's face suddenly fell, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble. The people of the Ji family were too arrogant. You have to know that the Jiang family was adjacent to the domain where they were now, and the Ji family actually dared to rob her so blatantly!
Ji Wenbin seemed not to notice Jiang Yuer's performance, and continued to talk to himself: "Alas~ Originally, with Haoxuan's status in my Ji family, I should have married you with great fanfare, but Haoxuan is too affectionate to you, and he is eager to see you. You know, Ji Zu dotes on him very much, and can't bear his begging, right? This hard work falls on my head! But don't worry, when Haoxuan has made enough trouble, we will still go through the necessary procedures for the marriage. Haha, actually I was planning to go directly to Changfeng Domain to find you, but I heard some interesting things on the way, so I deduced that I learned that you were already on the way back to the Jiang family, so I waited for you here on purpose."
When Jiang Yuer heard what Ji Wenbin said, her face turned pale. In fact, she had already known that the Ji family was going to take her back to the Ji family in advance, so she specially reported this matter to the Jiang family. However, the ordinary senior management of the Jiang family responded to her that since she and Ji Haoxuan had an engagement, it was only natural for the Ji family to take her back to introduce herself to the family. She also tried to send a message to the ancestor of the Jiang family, but did not get a response. It seemed that the ancestor might be in seclusion or delayed by something and did not receive her message. That's why she was so eager to return to the Jiang family just after serving as the master of Lingxiao Palace for a few days. Facing the powerful Ji family, only the ancestor of the Jiang family could save her.
Although Jiang Yuer was already uneasy at this time, she still tried to force a smile on her pale face and said, "Elder Wenbin, I still have some things to report to my ancestor. Can we talk about the marriage after I finish my work?"
However, when Ji Wenbin heard what Jiang Yuer said, his face suddenly darkened and he said, "Your marriage with Haoxuan was arranged by Ji Zu and Jiang Zu themselves. Do you want to regret it now?"
"I really have something to talk to the ancestor about." Jiang Yuer had a bitter look on her face. Outside, she was a high-ranking and glorious young leader of the Jiang family, but who knew that even with such a noble status, she could not escape the fate of being used for marriage.
"Haha, no need. Master Ji had already informed Master Jiang before I came, and Master Jiang also agreed to this matter." Ji Wenbin said lightly.
"What? How is that possible?" Jiang Yu'er was incredulous when she heard that. She couldn't help but take a few steps back and muttered, "Impossible, I have completed the task that the ancestor gave me. I am now the master of Lingxiao Palace!"
In Jiang Yuer's opinion, since the ancestors of the six major forces are so concerned about the position of the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace, they must use all means to control the Palace Master in their hands. Now that she has been elected as the Palace Master, her ancestors will definitely not marry her to the Ji family again. After all, if she marries Ji Haoxuan, she will be a member of the Ji family, and even her surname Jiang will be changed to Ji. In this way, the position of the Palace Master of Lingxiao Palace that she has obtained with great difficulty is not a dowry for the Ji family? Originally, this so-called marriage contract was facilitated by the pressure put on the Jiang family by Ji Hao, the ancestor of the Ji family. Now that she has obtained something that the ancestors of the six major forces care about at the same time, how could her ancestors give it up? This is completely in line with common sense.
The Ji family is indeed strong, but the Jiang family is not easy to mess with. If the two families really want to fight, the Ji family may not be absolutely sure of suppressing the Jiang family.
However, Ji Wenbin said at this time that the ancestor of the Jiang family had agreed to let the Ji family take Jiang Yuer back to the Ji family. How could Jiang Yuer believe it?
At this time, even Li Mu frowned after hearing Ji Wenbin's remarks. Judging from the performance of Ji Haoxuan and others in recent years, the ancestors of the six major forces did not pretend to attach importance to Lingxiao Palace. Now they suddenly seemed to have never cared about Lingxiao Palace at all.
Li Mu was very confused before. When the election started, the ancestors of each family specifically instructed their younger generations to do their best to win the election, but when the results of the election came out, they suddenly turned a deaf ear to it.
And Ji Haoxuan, after the election, was like a scoundrel, refusing to admit his mistakes and insisting that Jiang Yuer was cheating. But later, he received some news and suddenly changed his attitude. He withdrew from the competition for the position of Lord of Lingxiao Palace and fled.
Li Mu had thought about keeping Ji Haoxuan to question him, but he felt an extremely powerful ancient will in Ji Haoxuan. Although his realm had risen greatly at that time, it was not very stable. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, he could only let Ji Haoxuan leave.
Now it all seemed so strange and confusing to him.
Did the ancestors of the six major forces notice Li Mu's presence? Until now, they have not come to trouble Li Mu; if they said that they had just misjudged Lingxiao Palace before, this would not make sense. The ancestors of the six major forces were already at the top of the pyramid of the Qiongzu Universe, and their cultivation was unfathomable. How could they have misjudged at the same time? Moreover, Lingxiao Palace had just appeared in the Qiongzu Universe at that time. For such a new force without any background, how could it be in the eyes of the ancestors of the six major forces without special reasons?
The more Li Mu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. All this seemingly unreasonable stuff left him with no clue at all, and he felt very unhappy.
"Little girl of the Jiang family, don't you understand yet? Your most important task is to marry into my Ji family and become Haoxuan's wife to consolidate the friendship between the Ji and Jiang families. Be obedient and follow me!" Ji Wenbin said lightly.
"No! I want to see my ancestor!" Jiang Yuer said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! Jiang Yuer, don't be ungrateful! Don't force me to use force, or you'll lose face!" Ji Wenbin snorted coldly, obviously a little impatient. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Yuer was Ji Haoxuan's future wife, he would not bother to say so much to Jiang Yuer.
Although Jiang Yuer was the so-called leader of the young generation of the Jiang family, an ancient and top family in the Qiongzu universe like theirs had never lacked geniuses. The so-called young leaders were nothing more than meteors across the sky, fleeting. How could they be worthy of his attention?
