"Master Ji, thank you for saving my lovely grandson." Old Master Jiang said gratefully, bowing slightly to express his respect to Ji Fei.
"Old Master Jiang, you are too polite. Your great-granddaughter and I have a master-disciple relationship, and this is my responsibility." Ji Fei responded modestly, his long gown fluttering in the wind, giving him a somewhat immortal air.
Old Master Gu listened from the side and couldn't help asking curiously, "I wonder what Master Ji got the idea of having a master-disciple relationship with my great-grandson from?" His eyes were bright, full of inquiry and doubt.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed." Ji Fei said, then looked at Jiang Suisui, "Have you thought it through, little girl?"
Jiang Suisui hugged Jiang Yan's arm, shaking her head like a rattle. With her family all around, it was better to be polite. Jiang Suisui said crisply, "Thank you, Grandpa. I don't want to leave Dad and the others."
Ji Fei frowned slightly, looking at the Jiang and Gu families, his tone became more serious: "If you don't leave with your master, you won't live for more than a year."
When Jiang Suisui heard this, he snorted inwardly and secretly complained: "I believed your nonsense, but I have 50,000 merit points."
At this moment, Bao Fu faintly reminded Jiang Suisui in his mind, "Suisui, your lifespan is shown as 357 days."
Jiang Suisui, however, was unconcerned. In her mind, she was communicating with Baofu: "It's so difficult to get a card, what's there to be afraid of? I still have 50,000 merit points to redeem."
Bao Fu heard this and swallowed nervously, then quickly said, "But I just saw the message, these 50,000 merit points can only be exchanged for the Jiang family inheritance and talismans... It seems that they can't exchange them for lifespan."
Jiang Suisui gritted her teeth and said, "What did you say? Say it again?"
Baofu cried, "I don't dare, wuwuwuwu..."
Rich: [It’s so hard for me to be everything! It’s really hard for me to be everything with a secret! ]
Jiang Suisui: "Why can't it be used? Why? You said there would be a big surprise when you destroyed that thing, so I went there. Now you tell me that I worked myself to death and it was useless? I need an explanation for getting rich quickly."
Baofu stammered, "Sui Sui, wuwuwu, I don't know either. I'm still a novice system..."
Jiang Suisui: "So, where did this old man come from?"
The rich electronic screen twitched: "This character doesn't exist in the original novel at all, I don't know about it~"
Inside the room, when Ji Fei's voice fell, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves for the Jiang and Gu families.
Jiang Yan's face turned pale instantly. He hugged Jiang Suisui tightly and said, "Master Ji, what does it mean to not live for more than a year?"
Ji Fei's expression was solemn: "This is destiny. She possesses special spiritual wisdom. Only by becoming my disciple and receiving the guidance of orthodox cultivation can she resolve this calamity."
Jiang Yan's heart was filled with resentment and suspicion. "Master Ji, you keep saying it's destiny, but you suddenly appeared and were so sure of it. How can we believe you? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Old Master Jiang also recovered and said, "Master Ji, please make it clear that my Jiang family will definitely reward you handsomely. If you have any other methods, I hope you will be willing to teach me."
Ji Fei shook his head slightly, "I know you have doubts, but this is the fact."
Ji Fei looked at Jiang Suisui. "This girl's spiritual energy is overflowing, and it has attracted the covetousness of the evil spirits in the dark. If she doesn't practice cultivation in time to suppress it, her vitality will be exhausted within a year. I was originally in seclusion in the mountains, but because of the fate of her master and disciple, I came here to resolve the crisis."
Jiang Suisui muttered softly in Jiang Yan's arms: "Even if what you said is true, I don't want to leave my father and go to the deep mountains and forests." She tightly grasped the corner of Jiang Yan's clothes, her little face full of stubbornness and reluctance.
Jiang Suisui had mixed feelings. Her relatives died young in her previous life, and she grew up alone in loneliness and hardship, experiencing the indifference and bitterness of the world.
During those long dark nights, she longed for the warmth and companionship of her loved ones countless times, but could only cry alone in the cold reality.
In this life, she finally has a family of relatives including a father, grandfather, grandparents, etc. who love her. Their love is like the warm sun in winter, which sweeps away the haze in her heart.
She is greedy for this hard-earned family affection. Every moment with her family is invaluable to her.
Ji Fei looked at Jiang Suisui with a bit more kindness in his eyes, "Little girl, you know, although this path of cultivation is difficult, it can keep you safe. As an alien, you should understand the cause and effect, and you may be able to protect your family in the future."
Jiang Suisui blinked her eyes. Did this old man know she was a stranger? She pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's the cause and effect?"
Ji Fei looked Jiang Suisui in the eye and patiently explained, "Everything in the world is connected. Every cause has its effect. You possess a special spiritual power, which is the cause. If you can guide it well in your practice, it will produce the good result of protecting your family. It's like planting a seed. With careful care, it will grow into a towering tree, protecting your family from wind and rain."
Seeing Jiang Suisui deep in thought, Jiang Yan interrupted the conversation and said, "Master Ji, if you can really save Suisui, could you let us accompany you? Or could you teach her at the Jiang family?"
Ji Fei sighed, "Practice requires tranquility, without worldly distractions. Your presence will only ruin her chances. Furthermore, my practice grounds are nourished by spiritual energy, a place hard to find elsewhere."
The rich man in Jiang Suisui's mind suddenly spoke: "Suisui, I just found some records in ancient books. It seems that this special physique really does require a specific method of cultivation. Maybe what he said makes some sense."
Jiang Suisui frowned and spoke to Baofu in his mind, "This person seems to be here for me, but I have you and I can grow as well. Why bother with this?"
The Jiang and Gu families fell into a dilemma of silence. On one hand, Jiang Suisui might face a life-and-death crisis, and on the other hand, there was the inseparable family affection and worry about the unknown.
Ji Fei stood quietly by, waiting for their decision. His figure looked even more mysterious and lonely in the wind.
Jiang Yan looked at Jiang Suisui, feeling extremely conflicted. He really didn't want to hand his daughter over to someone he still had doubts about, but he was also afraid that he would lose his daughter as Ji Fei said.
Old Master Jiang and Old Master Gu looked at each other and saw helplessness and anxiety in each other's eyes.
After a long pause, Jiang Yan said, "Master Ji, could you give us a few days to consider this? This matter concerns my daughter's future, and we can't make a hasty decision."
Ji Fei nodded in agreement, "Well, I'll come back to hear your reply in three days. I just hope you won't lose the child's life because of a momentary hesitation." After that, he waved his long sleeves and floated away.
