"Release them!" Ji Xing'an shouted in an unquestionable tone.
Xiao Xin immediately ran towards Ning Yanlan and Jiang Yuan, and nothing unexpected happened as they had imagined.
Ning Yanlan immediately hugged Xiao Xin who rushed towards her and asked with concern, "Xiao Xin, are you hurt?"
"No!" Xiao Xin shook her head. She looked back at Ji Xing'an and said, "This old man has been playing with me the whole time, and I've even made a friend here!"
Following the direction Xiao Xin pointed, Ning Yanlan knew it was the little girl who had been with Xiao Xin earlier.
At this moment, Ji Jinghui also took his storage ring. After opening it, he angrily said, "You bastards, where are my core and Holy Spirit Stone?"
"That thing is our spoils of war. Do you think we'll ever return it to you?" Jiang Yuan said dismissively.
"Your spoils of war, those are clearly mine!" Ji Jinghui was furious; he had never seen such a shameless person.
"Jinghui, shut up!"
"Grandpa, they only returned the ancient martial arts, there's nothing in their storage rings!" Ji Jinghui's anger was still palpable. "No, we must keep them here today!"
"Listen up, all members of the Ji family! Capture them alive!"
Ji Jinghui immediately spoke, wanting to order those wearing training uniforms to leave, but Ji Xing'an coldly said, "Jinghui, if you continue to act recklessly, then you may not be suitable to be the heir of the Ji family!"
"grandfather!"
"Since Patriarch Ji is so reasonable, then we'll leave first!" Jiang Yuan didn't want to stay with such a powerful person in this place. He possessed a unique cultivation technique, and if it were to awaken its power and cause an anomaly, he might be doomed here.
"Jinghui said there's a martial arts practitioner in your team, that must be you!" Ji Xing'an suddenly said.
"I am not a martial arts practitioner!" Jiang Yuan recalled what Ning Yanlan had said before: the identity of a martial arts practitioner is too sensitive, so it should be revealed as little as possible.
Moreover, is he really not a martial arts practitioner? Does practicing a body-refining technique make him a martial arts practitioner?
"Young hero, don't be modest. You were able to defeat Jinghui without showing any strength, so you must be a martial arts master with some skill!" Ji Xing'an said with a smile. "Back then, the Ji family, which was not yet in decline, was also a family of martial arts masters, so our feelings towards martial arts masters are very different!"
"Patriarch Ji, just say what you want to say!" Jiang Yuan was utterly speechless at the old man's rambling.
"Ahem!" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ji Xing'an's face, and he had no choice but to ask directly, "Would this young hero be interested in marrying into the Ji family?"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He thought he was going to say something else! Turns out it was about marrying into the family! Wait, marrying into the family?
"What?" Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded.
Ning Yanlan tugged at Jiang Yuan and quickly added, "He's married!"
“It’s okay to be married, you can get a divorce! Anyway, in this world, human life is as worthless as grass and feelings are as bland as water. You can get a divorce and then marry into another family!” Ji Xing’an said.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Ning Yanlan gritted her teeth as she listened. She had initially had a fairly good impression of the old man, but now she couldn't help but feel angry at him.
"Master Ji is joking. You should find someone else for this kind of marriage proposal!" Jiang Yuan politely declined.
He really wanted to say, "You're just letting someone marry into your family for no reason, at least show them your offspring! What if they're extremely ugly? I'd be at a huge disadvantage!"
"No, no, no, there are very few ancient martial arts practitioners without lineages in Nancheng. Finding even one is already a rare achievement!" Ji Xing'an said repeatedly. "To be honest, if you marry into my Ji family, we can train you to become an extremely powerful ancient martial arts practitioner!"
"Trust us, the Ji family has the capability!"
Ji Xing'an, fearing that Jiang Yuan wouldn't believe him, added a sentence.
"Patriarch Ji, you..." Jiang Yuan was very annoyed. We came here to cause trouble, so please take this seriously. Suddenly asking someone to marry into the family might just make me feel narcissistic!
"Don't be so quick to refuse. In the past, no one in our Ji family could practice ancient martial arts, but this time there is a guarantee. As long as you marry into our family, you will definitely benefit from our Ji family's ancient martial arts!" Ji Xing'an said confidently.
"Patriarch Ji, farewell!" Ning Yanlan couldn't stand it anymore. Couldn't you do this underhanded thing in front of her? Did you think she was invisible?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan also cupped his hands and said, "Farewell!"
After saying that, the group prepared to leave!
Ji Xing'an quickly said, "No, let's discuss it!"
"Grandpa, with the Divine Blood Stone, even without ancient martial artists to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of ancient martial arts for us, we can still develop our family's ancient martial arts on our own! We don't need to ask this guy for help at all!" Ji Jinghui said indignantly.
"Sacred Blood Stone?"
Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan, who had just turned around, suddenly looked at each other, and their eyes simultaneously lit up with interest.
