"Godmother, we clearly agreed on this!"
A familiar, surprised female voice came from her ears, and Li Wei's eyelids moved. Is it Aunt Liang?
【Did I... faint? 】
As soon as the thought came to mind, the turbid feeling was swept away and my mind became unusually clear.
[My current physical condition is amazing! ]
She tried to get up, but found herself as if she were built into cement, her whole body stiff and unable to move.
My throat seemed to be locked by an invisible hand, and I couldn't make a sound.
[What's going on?] She was a little confused.
Outside the house, Jiang Xinyue's voice rang out: "Xiaoqiu, you've lost your composure."
Liang Qiushi's voice rose several degrees, sharp and piercing. "Lose my composure? How could I not lose my composure?! Li Wei is mine! What right do you have to detain her?"
She seemed to have given it her all, her speech becoming extremely rapid: "Because of this matter, my sister forcibly suppressed her realm and came to the imperial capital to help me!"
"My father withdrew from the front line under great pressure to cover for me!"
"My cousin even slandered himself by saying that his nephew was his son, causing unrest in the family!"
"What about you? How can you change your mind so easily?"
[Fuck, is this cheap grandma serious?]
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she tried to struggle desperately, but her body remained motionless, like an exquisite doll.
[It's over, it's over. This is such a disgrace! My reputation as an honest and reliable young man is about to be shattered in her hands! Grandma, oh grandma, you've really caused me so much trouble... cough cough...]
Jiang Xinyue's voice was still unhurried, revealing a sense of laziness, but every word was clear:
"Xiao Qiu, Li Wei is a 'shortcut body', do you know this?"
"No matter what form it is, I'm the one who found it..." Liang Qiushi's voice stopped abruptly, and then he asked incredulously, "What did you say?!"
Jiang Xinyue spoke each word with great emphasis, each one seeming to strike Liang Qiushi's heart: "Li and Wei are, 'the body of the near-path'."
There was a dead silence outside the house.
Li Wei could even hear her own heartbeat which was slightly rapid because she couldn't move.
After a long while, Liang Qiushi's dry, drifting voice was heard: "How...how is this possible?"
Jiang Xinyue ignored her gaffe and continued to calmly drop the bombshell:
"Not only does she possess the 'Shortcut Body', but she was also born with three half-open Dantians. Having just broken through to the first level, she already possesses her natal lotus, the rarest 'White Lotus' recorded in the inheritance."
She paused, her tone serious, "Xiao Qiu, tell me, is it appropriate to let such a Martial Immortal Seed die for Jin Zhi?"
Liang Qiushi seemed stunned by the series of shocking news and fell silent again.
After several breaths, Liang Qiushi's voice rang out again, hoarse with a hint of struggle: "But...but she is not your granddaughter after all..."
"If that's the case," Jiang Xinyue's voice was emotionless. "Jiang Yunshu was adopted by me from the second wife's family, and Jiang Xue is not my biological granddaughter."
Li Wei: “…”
[What the...?]
Liang Qiushi's voice was dry: "This, after all, is a blood relationship..."
Jiang Xinyue sneered, "Do you think I'm some old-fashioned person who's obsessed with blood ties? Xiaoqiu, as long as Li Wei is Chinese, as long as she has the hope of becoming a martial immortal of our country, that's enough! Blood ties are irrelevant!"
Liang Qiushi was anxious: "Godmother! Even if she went to Western Xinjiang in Jinzhi's place, she wouldn't necessarily die! The Zhang family is targeting Jinzhi, not 'Jiang Xue'. With you here, the Zhang family will be more cautious!"
"Do you believe this?" Jiang Xinyue asked calmly.
Liang Qiushi fell silent again.
This time the silence lasted even longer, so long that Li Wei felt that the stiff posture was about to cause her muscles to cramp.
Finally, Jiang Xinyue's tone slowed down a bit. "How about this... I'll go find your father and Old Man Zeng, and the three of us will put pressure on the Zhang family to make them guarantee Jinzhi's safety in Western Xinjiang!"
Liang Qiushi let out a short and sad laugh, and returned Jiang Xinyue's words intact:
"Do you believe the Zhang family's promise?"
"If they want to kill someone, they have plenty of ways to create 'accidents'!"
"When the time comes, they will pretend to be deeply hurt and apologize sincerely."
"Afterwards, what can you do to them? Can you really go to war with the Zhang family for Jinzhi?"
Jiang Xinyue: “…”
"I don't know what's wrong with the Zhang family. They're so stubborn and won't let go of Jinzhi. Someone secretly told me that this was an order from that old man Zhang Luye himself..."
Liang Qiushi's voice gradually calmed down. "But Li Wei, or 'Jiang Xue', is different. She's not on the Zhang family's must-kill list. Moreover, with her displayed talent, as long as she becomes famous, the Zhang family won't dare to touch her!"
She spoke faster, her voice filled with desperate earnestness, "Godmother! If Li Wei was just a 'muscle-bone trembling', then she would be dead for sure! Even if the Zhang family killed her, it wouldn't cause any ripples. They also know that you wouldn't fight the Zhang family for a 'granddaughter' with 'muscle-bone trembling'!"
"But! The 'Shortcut Body' is different! The Jiang family's prodigy, who possesses their natal lotus, is even more different! As long as the Zhang family is not stupid, they should know that if 'Jiang Xue' died inexplicably on their territory, you would absolutely go crazy! You would seek revenge at all costs! Even the Martial Arts Alliance would be held accountable! They don't dare to take the risk!"
