Hearing the gratitude of the young men, Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but laugh and reached out to stop them from continuing.
"Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
I saved you by chance, not because I expected anything in return. On the other hand, I am very pleased that you are grateful.
From now on, there's no need for further words of gratitude; one instance is enough for me.
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. You all get to work. After the flood recedes, I will lead you to relocate to Xianyang County, where we will settle down."
"Relocate to Xianyang Prefecture?"
The young men were both surprised and delighted, their eyes reddening. They wanted to thank Princess Chang Le again, but as soon as they were about to speak, they remembered what the princess had just said.
They could only swallow their words of gratitude, but they would never forget the princess's great kindness.
Ji Yi was genuinely happy for the people of Gancao County and said with a smile, "Alright, alright, everyone, don't waste any more time. Get busy. Before you go to Xianyang County, the most important thing for you is to stay safe and healthy."
The young men instantly beamed with joy and hurriedly replied, "Good job, Magistrate Ji, hehe..."
After saying that, he immediately got to work.
Ji Yi scurried up to Sheng Lingwei, grinning like a complete idiot, "Boss, the relocation of Gancao County to Xianyang Prefecture, that was your decision, right?"
Sheng Lingwei smiled and saw right through Ji Yi's thoughts, "Alright, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush. Just say what you have to say."
"Hehe, you know me best, boss!" Ji Yi immediately gave Sheng Lingwei a thumbs up, and then diligently massaged her back and shoulders.
His sycophantic and sleazy demeanor contrasted sharply with his handsome and refined appearance, as well as his calm and reserved temperament.
Ji Qiao was so engrossed in watching this that he rubbed his forehead in exasperation and gritted his teeth.
It's unbearable to look at! Absolutely unbearable to look at!
His brother used to be such a steady person, how come he seems to have turned into a spoiled and cute child after meeting Princess Chang Le?
Anyone who didn't know better would think the princess was his mother!
Ji Yi chuckled and said, "Boss, once the people of Gancao County are moved to Xianyang Prefecture, they will become the people of Xianyang Prefecture. It would be superfluous for me, a mere county magistrate, to stay there."
So I want to resign from my official post and follow you from now on. Hehe, only by following you can I have a future, and only then can I be carefree and uncontrolled. Even if I don't become an official, I'll be happy.
Sheng Lingwei's eyes darkened slightly.
She could tell that although Ji Yi was all smiles, his tone inadvertently revealed weariness and heartache.
"Tell me! What have you been through all these years?"
Ji Yi scratched his head, his face flushed, "Well... actually, I didn't experience anything special. My parents died when I was young, and my younger brother and I depended on each other for survival. That's all."
Sheng Lingwei sighed, turned around and looked at Ji Yi with a serious expression, "Tell me everything in detail. Don't try to hide anything."
"All right!"
Ji Yi shrugged helplessly. He wasn't one to complain, but since his boss had spoken, he had no choice but to give a brief account of his experiences over the years.
After he finished speaking, he sighed.
"Boss, I never imagined that I, who lost my memory, would have such great ideals and ambitions. To be honest, in the advanced world, I was just a parasite and didn't have any ideals."
Sheng Lingwei patted Ji Yi on the shoulder solemnly and said in a serious tone:
"Ji Yi, you've worked hard all these years. I can only say that you are full of justice and hate evil to the core. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to be a good official and uphold justice for the people."
Tsk tsk, you truly are my good brother; I knew I hadn't misjudged you.
Don't worry! Now that we're together, I'll continue to look after you. Do you want to be an official? Or would you rather be a carefree, independent person?
It's up to you to choose.
I respect whatever decision you make!
Anyway, your eldest brother is rich, powerful, and has the fighting skills to do whatever he wants in this world. Supporting you two brothers is more than enough for him.
Ji Yi was moved to tears. "Boss, I knew you were the best person to me in this world. Waaah, I want to cry."
Sheng Lingwei was both amused and exasperated, and rolled her eyes at Ji Yi.
"Brother, it's lucky you only said that to my face. If the other brothers and sisters of the Bloodthirsty Black Rose had heard you, they would have definitely given you a good beating."
You know, you're the darling of their group. When there's something delicious or fun, you're the first person they think of. You can't be ungrateful.
That's right, Ji Yi is the youngest among them.
When he joined the Bloodthirsty Black Rose, he was the thinnest of them all, looking frail and malnourished, which instantly made everyone feel sorry for him.
Therefore, everyone genuinely regarded him as a younger brother and did their best to take care of him in everything they did.
Upon hearing about his other siblings, Ji Yi's expression immediately turned serious.
"Boss, I, Ji Yi, am not an ingrate. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the kindness of my older brothers and sisters, and I would never be ungrateful and become an ingrate."
Unfortunately, I regained my memories too late; I have no idea where they are now, or where I should even begin to search for them.
Sheng Lingwei smiled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Ji Yi, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?"
Ji Yi was slightly taken aback, then immediately raised his neck and clapped his hands, saying, "Boss, only an idiot would choose. I'm a smart man, and I want to hear both pieces of information."
"Alright! Boss will grant your wish."
Sheng Lingwei slowly said, "The good news is that my six brothers and sisters, Yue Mingxi, Fang Xiuer, Liang Tianling, Luo Xingyuan, Shen Yang, and Shen Xin, have already recognized me."
"Really, boss?"
Ji Yi jumped up and down excitedly; anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was performing a shamanistic ritual.
Sheng Lingwei gave her a calm look and nodded, saying, "It's true, you'll be able to see them soon, but..."
"But what?"
"But you are older than them in this world. You are no longer their younger brother, but their older brother."
"Wh-what?" Ji Yi's face cracked.
I can't accept this fact right now.
He tearfully said, "Big brother, I only want to be the younger brother, I don't want to be the older brother."
Sheng Lingwei shrugged with a mischievous grin, "There's nothing I can do about it, it's just your age. This is the bad news I have to tell you. Can you accept this fact?"
"No, I can't accept this fact." Ji Yi wailed, clutching his head. "I already have a younger brother, and I don't want any more younger brothers or sisters."
Only after becoming an older brother himself did he realize how difficult it is to be an older brother or sister.
Ji Qiao alone is enough of a headache for him, let alone a dozen or so...
Wow~~ I can't believe it!!!
Sheng Lingwei looked at Ji Yi's resistant expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then she flicked him on the forehead and said irritably:
"Look at you, you good-for-nothing! We don't even want to be your younger brother or sister!"
Besides, you're not capable of being our older brother!
Don't you know your own limitations?
