Chapter 340 I begged you to save me?
Yu Zhiyi was not surprised.
Although this person used a secret method to conceal the secrets of heaven, Yu Zhiyi could clearly see the obvious causal line between this person and herself.
She was quite certain that she had never seen this person before, and considering the relationship between this person and Chen Ruolan, she could basically confirm that the cause-and-effect relationship was created because he took her away back then.
She was also surprised by her own father's keen insight.
Jiang Yuwei was shocked again: "What? He was the one who took Jin'er away back then?"
Ji Guangdai strolled slowly toward the group with his hands behind his back, as if he were wandering through his own backyard, exuding a mysterious sense of leisure.
He chuckled and said, "That's right. Back then, I did steal the Second Miss away from the Second Madam, who had just given birth."
He gently shook his head: "Back then, I was ignorant and didn't see the profound fortune and merit that the Second Miss was carrying. Otherwise, I would never have given her to that heartless Minister Yu and his wife."
Jiang Yuwei was furious: "You've done such a heinous thing, how dare you still comment on what happened back then?"
He was furious: "Seventeen years ago, Juxian Manor was just a small manor, not as large or powerful as it is now. Yet my father never mistreated you. He even saved you and your son when the Demonic Sect plotted against Juxian Manor."
How could you be so heartless?!
Ji Guangdai glanced around, a deep smile in his eyes, and said in a light tone, "Do I need your help?"
"What?" Jiang Yuwei was stunned.
Seventeen years ago, the Demonic Sect launched a massive attack on martial arts forces, and those forces they chose were almost all doomed.
The evil cult doesn't treat killings with the same politeness as martial arts practitioners; it leaves no one alive, no matter which faction it targets.
Back then, three small factions disappeared from the martial arts world within a single month. They were all wiped out in one move, from eighty-year-old elders to newborn babies. Even passing dogs were beheaded with a single slash.
Old Master Jiang discovered the Demonic Sect's conspiracy and followed the clues to find out that they were about to take action against the then insignificant Juxian Manor. He arranged for ambushes in advance and saved 90% of the people in Juxian Manor.
Unfortunately, Ji Guangdai's younger brother disobeyed orders and insisted on leaving Juxianzhuang because he had quarreled with his father.
Ji Guangdai's parents desperately tried to pull him back in order to stop their youngest son from courting death.
Just as the two were struggling, members of the Demonic Cult descended from the sky.
Madam Ji pushed the person back into the manor with all her might, but she herself was captured alive by the Left Protector of the Demonic Sect because she was unable to evacuate in time.
The Left Protector of the Demonic Sect was most fond of pleasure, and Madam Ji was quite beautiful.
Half a month later, when everyone found Madam Ji, there was no intact skin or flesh left on her body.
The most private areas were badly damaged.
After that incident, Elder Jiang swiftly destroyed several strongholds of the Demonic Sect, sending them all back to their homelands, and peace was restored to the martial world.
Jiang Yuwei was puzzled: "We saved you, and that's considered a mistake?"
Ji Guangdai chuckled, his middle-aged, refined face full of sarcasm: "Martial Arts Alliance, you pride yourselves on justice. You're always standing up for this sect today or upholding justice for someone tomorrow. Do you think you're so great?"
Jiang Yuwei frowned.
He didn't say anything, but that was clearly what he was thinking.
Ji Guangdai's contempt deepened: "A bunch of hypocrites!"
Jiang Yuwei roared, "Don't talk nonsense! Our Martial Alliance has always taken it upon itself to punish evil and uphold justice. We have never bullied the weak, nor have we ever done anything immoral. How can you be so hypocritical?!"
"Punishing the wicked and eliminating evil?" Ji Guangdai sneered, "If you are so great, how come you haven't been able to eradicate all the wicked and treacherous people in the world?!"
Jiang Yuwei: "?"
He is just a human being, not a god. Although he takes it upon himself to punish evil and eliminate wickedness, he has no way of predicting where evil will occur in advance, so how could he possibly eradicate it?
Even if a god came, let alone him, he couldn't completely drive away the darkness, could he?
Just as he was about to say something, Yu Zhiyi explained to her uncle, "What he means is, when his father was abusing him and his mother, why didn't the Martial Alliance come to eradicate the evil?"
Ji Guangdai could no longer maintain his inscrutable expression, and his face darkened.
Jiang Yuwei: "Huh?"
Jiang Yuchuan asked in surprise, "His father is Master Ji?"
Yu Zhiyi said, "Master Ji's public image is that of a very kind and good-natured person. He seems to be nice to everyone, and he will even casually toss a beggar some silver coins when he passes by."
"Anyone who knows him will give him a thumbs up and praise him as a great philanthropist."
Ji Guangdai's face grew increasingly gloomy.
Yu Zhiyi seemed not to see it: "But as the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Some people are human outside, but they become ghosts when they go home."
"That kind-hearted Master Ji is just that kind of person."
The Jiang brothers both showed the same surprised expression.
Ji Guangdai looked coldly at Yu Zhiyi, but did not interrupt her.
Yu Zhiyi continued, "Master Ji is not very talented. Even at nearly forty, he is only a third-rate expert in the martial arts world. Juxian Manor was an insignificant force back then, and any grand events it held would easily be forgotten."
"Some people are timid and submissive outside, but when they get home, they vent their frustration and anger on their own family members."
"For example, Master Ji."
"He was very good at putting on a show. He only bullied his wife and children, and he was always kind and gentle to the servants in his household."
"Therefore, whenever Madam Ji disobeyed or resisted him, even the servants in the mansion were kept in the dark and thought that Madam Ji was being unreasonable and didn't know what was good for her."
"There are also many young girls who are just beginning to fall in love, who secretly say that when they grow up they want to marry a devoted and good man like Master Ji."
“Even Madam Ji’s family did not believe that Master Ji was a cruel person, did not believe that he abused her, and advised her not to be willful, but to live a good life with Master Ji, saying that she would never find such a good man again if she missed him.”
The Jiang brothers, being men, felt suffocated at that moment.
How desperate that woman must have been!
She was like someone trapped in a magnificent cage on the outside. Outsiders only saw the glamorous exterior of the cage, but they couldn't see the cramped and dark interior, or her despair.
Everyone advised her to stay in the cage and not cause trouble; even her desire to escape was considered wrong.
Yu Zhiyi looked at Ji Guangdai quietly: "Living in such an environment for a long time, his mind has long been twisted. He hates Master Ji, he hates his brother, he hates the servants, and he even hates his mother."
“But his mother was the only person in the world who would jump out to protect him when he was being abused, so after his mother was killed, he hated her even more, because no one would stand in front of him to shield him from the crazy, torrential beatings from Master Ji.”
