A small courtyard in the city.

Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, Ji Chenhai, and others also encountered attacks from the Black Purgatory People.

The group dealt with these thugs effortlessly.

Looking at the innkeeper outside the courtyard, whose face was full of heartache.

And some onlookers watching the spectacle.

Shang Xiye said in a deep voice, "The beast tide has just ended, and Black Purgatory has already gathered so many people, which means that their communication speed is extremely fast. We can't stay in Mangcheng for a moment longer."

"Your Highness, the guards we brought are already waiting ten miles outside the city, but it's broad daylight now. If we go to Mangshan, they will definitely chase us in," Wuying and Wuhen quickly stepped forward to report.

Shang Xiye withdrew his gaze from the corpses of the men in black scattered on the ground and transmitted his voice to the others: "Instead of going directly into the mountains, let's make a feigned trip to the new city (formerly the northern border city), and then clean up our tracks and go into the mountains after dark."

Wuhen gave the innkeeper some silver as compensation, and then the group left.

Most of the guests at the inn were martial arts practitioners and merchants, all of whom were used to life-and-death battles and feuds, so no one was surprised or asked any questions.

Once Shang Xiye, Ji Fengyao, and the others left, they dispersed.

On the way out of the city.

Ji Chenhai kept lamenting to Ji Fengyao, "Alas, Lao Cao said he would come to see me tonight. From what I heard, he definitely wanted to discuss your brother and Xiao Chen's marriage to his two daughters with me tonight."

We left without giving any explanation. Old Cao probably still thinks I look down on his daughter, and he doesn't know if his daughter can wait for Fengming and Xiao Chen.

"If their daughter is betrothed to someone else, Yao'er, your mother and I, if we wait for your troublesome brother to relent, who knows how long we'll have to wait!"

Ji Fengyao's lips twitched; she really wanted to tell her father:

Your troublesome son ran away a long time ago!

Don't even mention the Cao family's daughter, even if you brought a celestial being here, it wouldn't be of any use!

“Father-in-law, you don’t need to worry too much about Fengming. Once he meets a girl he likes, even if you disagree, he will urge you to arrange the wedding for him,” Shang Xiye said gently.

He said these things not out of deliberate flattery.

Instead, along the way, he felt the long-lost fatherly love from Ji Chenhai.

Although Ji Chenhai's attitude towards his children was not as biased and partial as his father's, he was just as devoted and meticulous in every aspect.

Ji Chenhai glanced at Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao's tightly clasped hands, a relieved smile on his face, and said, "I hope so. If Fengming gets married and has children, your mother and I can take good care of the two little ones as they grow up, find wives and have children for them, and our lives will be complete."

Then Ji Chenhai asked, "By the way, you two have been married for so long, but there's still no sign of a baby. What's going on?"

Ji Fengyao never expected that his words would eventually circulate back to her!

It's true that all parents are the same.

Those who are not married worry about getting married, and those who are married worry about having children!

Thinking about those embarrassing things, Ji Fengyao blushed and said coquettishly, "Oh dear, Father, how can you say such things in the street? Aren't you ashamed!"

Shang Xiye touched his nose, gazing tenderly at his wife.

Seeing her flushed face, I couldn't wait to take a bite out of her right now.

Knowing that Ji Chenhai was on his side in this matter, Shang Xiye was also shameless and said, "Father-in-law, you don't need to worry about this. I will do my best after the matter in the capital is settled."
