"What a kind act, little girl!" Dong Jiu praised sincerely.
"It was just a small favor, nothing to do with charity."
Qiqi's tone was indifferent, and she genuinely didn't think she had done anything extraordinary.
She simply led her in morning and evening prayers every day. Although she would deliberately release some spiritual energy to help her expel the evil energy from her body, if she didn't have a kind heart, no matter how she guided her, she wouldn't be like this today.
Therefore, the root of all this lies within the female ghost herself; it cannot really be considered a good deed on her part.
But when Dong-gu heard this, the way he looked at her changed.
picture!
They look so alike!
These words, and the way he spoke, really resembled his senior sister.
Could she... really be the reincarnation of the senior sister?
But when he checked the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld, his senior sister's name was not on it.
He couldn't find out where his senior sister's soul had gone, nor could he find out where she had been reincarnated.
It's as if... as if someone deliberately erased all traces related to the senior sister.
But why?
The eldest sister's skill was unparalleled in the cultivation world. She had attracted heavenly lightning while refining the Demon-Subduing Pill, but ultimately could not withstand it and her soul was scattered.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qiqi was a little confused when she saw Dong Jiu staring at her. Suddenly, she remembered something and hugged her chubby self. "Let me tell you, I'm still young and haven't lived enough yet. I have no interest in wandering around the underworld."
Dong Jiu: ...
"I never said I was going to take you to the underworld!" He was speechless. With a flick of his wrist, a black chain suddenly flew out and wrapped around the female ghost. Dong Jiu dragged her around and turned to enter the gate of hell, leaving behind two words without looking back: "Let's go."
"Little Master, thank you!" Just before the gates of hell closed, the female ghost turned around and earnestly thanked Qiqi one last time.
Qiqi raised her little hand and waved at her, "Come back and play with me if you have the chance!"
"Um."
After seeing the female ghost off, Qiqi stretched and felt a little hungry, so she rubbed her stomach and went downstairs to find something to eat.
Downstairs, Ji Chengfeng was reading the latest financial magazine.
Seeing him, Qiqi suddenly remembered what she wanted to say last night but forgot to, and quickly ran downstairs, calling out, "Daddy!"
The little girl's sudden loud voice startled Ji Chengfeng.
He put down the financial magazine in his hand, turned around and reached out to catch the little girl who rushed towards him. "Slow down! Are you hungry? Breakfast has been prepared. If you are hungry, let your mother bring it out for you first."
"Don't rush to eat, I have something very important to tell Dad."
"What's up?"
"Someone wants to harm my second brother!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Chengfeng's eyes widened instantly, and he sat up straight, frowning as he asked, "Qi Bao, how did you know? Did you figure something out? Or did someone tell you something?"
Qiqi then recounted what she had seen yesterday about her second brother's predicament and the group of people she encountered at the bathroom door. "...I saw photos of my second brother and our family in them. Dad, they said my second brother was a target. I don't know what they want to do to him, but they made me feel very uncomfortable."
Those people exuded a strong, cold, and menacing aura. She feared they weren't just after her second brother; they might also target her family.
Although she was very afraid of her second brother, she did not want him to get hurt because of it.
Ji Chengfeng remained silent, but his heart was already churning with turmoil.
He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes cold and icy.
Whoever tries to harm his son on Jiangcheng's territory, don't blame him for being impolite!
"Dad, what are you thinking about?" Seeing his strange reaction, Qiqi waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Ji Chengfeng snapped out of his daze, reached out and grabbed Qiqi's little hand, coaxing the girl, "Qibao, be good. Daddy will handle this. Don't tell Mommy and your second brother, so they won't worry."
Qiqi nodded obediently. Her mother was under a curse and her health had never fully recovered. It was right to worry less.
As for the second brother, although he is very smart, he is still just a boy in his early teens.
Those people look incredibly vicious; my second brother will definitely be scared.
"Dad, who do you think those people are?"
"No matter who it is, I will never allow them to hurt my child." Ji Chengfeng's voice was as cold as ice, his tone filled with suppressed anger, like a lion whose scales had been touched, ready to tear apart anyone who tried to harm his family.
Perhaps afraid that his tone might frighten the little girl, Ji Chengfeng gently patted Qiqi's back after speaking and gave her a tender smile.
Qiqi wasn't scared at all. On the contrary, her little face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice. She clenched her little fists and said, "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely protect my second brother and never let those people have a chance to hurt him."
She's very capable; those people won't have a chance to harm my second brother.
"No!" To everyone's surprise, Ji Chengfeng refused, and solemnly advised, "I know Qi Bao is very powerful, but those people are definitely not ordinary. Their purpose in looking for Xiao Nian is unclear. So, to be on the safe side, Qi Bao, the first thing you need to do is protect yourself."
Ji Chengfeng thought more than Qi Qi.
He could tell from Qiqi's tone that those people were targeting their second son.
They didn't even care about the life or death of the rest of their family members, except for the second son.
In other words, they only want the second son to survive.
Why? What do they want to get from the second son?
Or perhaps they think they can get something from the second son?!
The second child was intelligent from a young age, far surpassing his peers, and was called a genius. But why did nothing happen for the previous few years, and now suddenly a group of people appear to kidnap him?
They would even go so far as to kill them all!
There was only one reason Ji Chengfeng could think of, and that was Qi Qi.
Not long ago, Old Master Sheng suddenly took his second son to the old house, and brought over a lot of medicinal herbs. He also took away a lot of magical pills and talismans from Qiqi.
Qi Qi once said that Elder Sheng could use those pills for medical purposes.
During this period, he also saw many reports about Master Sheng's disciples developing special pills that saved patients from suffering.
The report almost mythologized those miracle pills.
Because Elder Sheng did not explicitly state which disciple developed the pill, but considering that Elder Sheng had visited the Ji family before, and that the second son of the fifth branch of the Ji family was Elder Sheng's disciple, outsiders would more or less assume that Ji Jinnian was the one who developed the pill!
However, both they and Elder Sheng knew that the person who actually developed the pill was Qi Qi, but out of consideration for the young girl, they tacitly kept this information a secret.
So those bad guys who suddenly appeared, the person they really wanted to kidnap, might be Qiqi!
