Jin Shangyue keenly noticed this from the emotions in Ji Beiyao's eyes and couldn't help but smile.
Her androgynous, exquisitely beautiful face, and that smile were simply captivating, mesmerizing, and full of vibrant allure.
Ji Beiyao stared, her eyes widening in disbelief, her gaze becoming increasingly fascinated.
Upon seeing this, Jin Shangyue confirmed her suspicions, and her smile became even more alluring and enchanting.
Have you found a weakness to overcome? Is it an obsession with ultimate beauty?
very good.
Both she and Ji Chaoyun share this trait.
Jin Shangyue didn't dislike Ji Beiyao's little quirk.
Because it's clear that Ji Beiyao is simply fascinated and fond of ultimate beauty.
It's a pure pursuit of love, like a special fondness for objects, without a trace of filth.
Jin Shangyue greeted her in a friendly manner: "Patriarch Ji, please have a seat."
Ji Beiyao's servant waved his hand, and Ji Beiyao's personal chaise lounge was placed opposite Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun.
Strangely enough, it mirrors and rivals Ji Chaoyun's throne.
Ji Beiyao slowly reclined on the chaise lounge, propping her cheek with one hand. Her beautiful eyes shimmered with tears, shining brightly as she stared intently at Jin Shangyue and Ji Chaoyun's faces.
Ji Chaoyun also realized that Ji Beiyao, who was world-renowned and hailed as the most handsome man in the world, was actually a hidden person who was obsessed with good looks.
It's really unfair to Ji Beiyao; after hundreds of years, she's only now being able to indulge this little quirk.
Normally, he probably only needs to look at his own face, and he can't find a face that allows Ji Beiyao to indulge his little quirks. It must be hard for him.
As Ji Chaoyun pondered this, the corners of her lips curved into a smile. She relaxed completely, leaning leisurely against the back of the throne, calming down once more and stepping back into the background.
Ji Beiyao noticed the stark contrast in Ji Chaoyun's demeanor and raised an eyebrow, glancing at Jin Shangyue, who remained calm and exuded a powerful aura.
Suddenly it dawned on me.
For love, she was willing to humble herself and stay behind the scenes, never overshadowing the main character, and everything she did was for Jin Shangyue's sake, with meticulous consideration.
Is this person still Ji Chaoyun?
Ji Beiyao couldn't help but become curious about Jin Shangyue, this young girl.
This focused observation and analysis revealed something amiss.
He couldn't even see through Jin Shangyue's cultivation level.
Furthermore, one could even faintly sense a restrained yet terrifying aura emanating from Jin Shangyue.
The more he tried to pry into his feelings, the more terrified he became.
Ji Beiyao: !!!
Ji Beiyao couldn't help but sit up, staring at Jin Shangyue: "Who exactly are you?"
Jin Shangyue smiled faintly: "Since Patriarch Ji took the initiative to invite me, I assumed that Patriarch Ji already knew about it."
Ji Beiyao: ...
Of course, he investigated thoroughly before taking action.
But everything they had researched before turned out to be useless when they faced Jin Shangyue face to face with her!
All the information about Jin Shangyue is incorrect; it doesn't match her at all.
But when he thought that the semi-immortal-grade pills originated from here, Ji Beiyao paused slightly.
The dense fog that had been hanging over the clouds dissipated considerably in an instant.
Yes, if the semi-immortal-grade pill really was taken out by Jin Shangyue, then it seems reasonable that she doesn't match the information in the records.
Wasn't he himself full of secrets, hiding his strength and cultivation level from the outside world?
Ji Beiyao relaxed again and lazily lay back down.
With a faint, alluring smile, she said, "I have come to visit you today for a semi-immortal-grade elixir."
Ji Beiyao changed his self-reference and took the initiative to explain the situation, which is enough to show that he now regards Jin Shangyue as an equal.
Instead of the initial image of a superior being looking down on and being indifferent to the weak.
Jin Shangyue did not deny it, but instead asked, "I have heard that the seven great families each have a special family head's token, with different names, but they all have the same purpose."
"It is the most precious and supreme honor token among the seven great families."
"Obtaining this order will grant one a status comparable to that of the family head. Within the seven great families, one will be like a deputy family head, enjoying all the honors and privileges of the family. One can even summon thousands of shadow guards, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the assistance of the family's elders."
Ji Beiyao's eyes narrowed suddenly, the fascination in them replaced by danger.
"You want our Ji family's Dark Emperor's Token? You dare to dream of it!"
The question of who holds the patriarchal and deputy patriarchal authority in the hands of the seven great families is a very closely guarded secret.
Apart from the true rulers of ancient forces that have been passed down for thousands of years, no one else knows about this.
Each of the seven great families possesses a special token.
This token is related to the future of the family and will not be given away easily.
Most of the time, this token is kept in the sacred grounds of their respective families.
The seven great families have passed down their traditions for over a thousand years, and the number of times they have given out this token can be counted on one hand.
The Ji family has a history spanning thousands of years, dating back to before the end of the world thousands of years ago.
It has been passed down to the present day, through countless changes of the times and through many trials and tribulations.
It still stands strong today, even at the pinnacle of the world.
The special token has only been given out twice.
One time was three thousand years ago, and the other time was more than a thousand years ago.
Seven hundred years ago, after this token was successfully retrieved, it was enshrined in the Ji family's sacred ground and guarded by the ancestor, and it has never been seen again.
This token represents half of the Ji family's power; it is not given to the Ji family's descendants, but to outsiders.
Only the heads of the family in successive generations are qualified to use this token.
Once the token is given out, the person who receives it will own half of everything in the Ji family, becoming equivalent to the head of the Ji family and possessing absolute power.
