Chapter 484 You call this an ordinary person?! [1st Update]
An Roujin thought that she had patiently waited for five years and given birth to a son for Wen Fengmian.
For the sake of his family, Wen Fengmian will definitely return to the Ji family. He can't really live in a small place like Qingshui County for the rest of his life, can he?
She simply couldn't bear the lack of electricity and shopping malls.
Of course, after Wen Fengmian gave her all the money, she could go to the neighboring city and live a life of luxury.
However, An Roujin could not satisfy her, which was different from her original purpose.
It's only three million; you can't live on that for a lifetime.
Moreover, besides money, power and status are even more important.
An Roujin has always been very clear about her own position. She can't do anything, and her only advantage is that she is good-looking and can marry well.
She should seize this opportunity and rise rapidly to the top.
Although many people look down on her for this idea, so what?
Now she's the matriarch of the Lin family, and many martial arts practitioners have to treat her with utmost respect.
This is much better than following Wen Fengmian.
An Roujin truly never expected that she would meet Wen Fengmian in the world of ancient martial arts.
But it's something I can understand.
Now that Wen Fengmian has returned to the Ji family, he must have regained his status and identity.
It's quite normal for someone from the Ji family to invite him to an auction.
An Roujin basically lives in the ancient martial arts world, and has gotten used to life there over the years, without cell phones or internet.
She only goes out once or twice occasionally, and it's usually for shopping sprees; she doesn't go online to follow the news.
Therefore, he was unaware of the relationship between Wen Fengmian and Ying Zijin, only considering her to be his junior.
"Mrs. Lin." Ji Tianhao's eyes sharpened, this time including his surname, "Are you trying to interfere in the Ji family's affairs?"
The Ji family belongs to the Xie family faction. Although they are not exactly enemies with the Lin family, they are definitely not allies either.
Ji Tianhao also knew that this Madam Lin was just an ordinary person in the real world.
Lin Jinyun, the head of the Lin family, specially taught her the method of cultivating internal strength, but she just couldn't cultivate it no matter what she tried.
Even when ancient doctors were consulted to apply acupuncture needles and stimulate acupoints, it was still ineffective.
So far, acupuncture is the only method to cultivate ancient martial arts talent in people who do not have it.
Unfortunately, very few people can actually use it.
Records in the ancient medical community prove that two or three hundred years ago, ancient doctors were able to concoct a medicine that could give people ancient martial arts talent.
However, this prescription was later lost, and only the ancestors of a few prominent ancient medical families knew about it.
These ancestors are not people Lin Jinyun can invite.
Admittedly, having the Lin family's patriarch invite the Fu family's patriarch might actually get An Roujin a pill that would grant her ancient martial arts talent after consumption.
But who in the entire ancient martial arts world doesn't know that An Roujin is able to sit in the position of the matriarch of the Lin family because Lin Qingjia is too outstanding?
The Lin family's patriarch could personally make a trip for Lin Qingjia, but An Roujin had no such qualifications. At most, she could only give her a longevity and youth-preserving medicine, so that she wouldn't age so quickly.
As long as she behaves well as a decorative figurehead and doesn't do anything to harm the Lin family, she can remain the matriarch of the Lin family indefinitely.
But Lin Jinyun did like An Roujin, after all, she was indeed very beautiful.
Ji Tianhao was also one of Lin Qingjia's admirers.
Who wouldn't like a woman like Lin Qingjia, who is skilled in both ancient martial arts and medicine, possesses great strength, and has an exceptionally beautiful appearance?
After watching "Youth 202", Ji Tianhao thought Ying Zijing was stunningly beautiful, even more beautiful than Lin Qingjia, but he didn't really take Ying Zijing seriously.
What they value most is strength.
Ordinary people like Ying Zijin can only be like An Roujin, a decorative vase.
Ji Tianhao had indeed considered it, but An Roujin's sudden remark made him wary.
The Judicial Hall has been keeping a close eye on all the major families lately. Could it be that the Lin family wants to eliminate the Ji family and sent An Roujin to lower their guard?
"Huh?" Hearing this, An Roujin was a little confused. "Didn't you take a liking to her? As a man, be bold and pursue her, otherwise you'll regret it if you miss out."
As she spoke, she smiled again and said, "I also tell my son the same thing, but he's still young and will need to learn more about it later."
Of course, her son was not a blockhead with a serious mental disorder who could barely speak.
She and Lin Jinyun later had a son named Lin Shao, who is ten years old this year.
What puzzled An Roujin was that Lin Shao's talent in ancient martial arts was mediocre, far inferior to Lin Qingjia's.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a direct descendant, someone with such poor ancient martial arts talent would have been expelled to a branch family long ago.
However, from a genetic point of view, this is very unscientific.
Lin Jinyun was able to become the head of the Lin family because his ancient martial arts talent was the strongest among his generation.
How come her son with Lin Jinyun doesn't have as much talent in ancient martial arts as her son with Wen Fengmian?
But when she returned to Qingshui County, she found that Wen Fengmian indeed lacked the talent for ancient martial arts.
That's really strange.
However, An Roujin was also relieved that Lin Shao was not like Jiang Ran, the young master of the Ling family who took his mother's surname, whose internal energy was in chaos at birth and almost killed him.
“That makes sense.” The apprehension in Ji Tianhao’s eyes faded slightly. “Thank you for your guidance, Madam. I know what to do.”
"I'm not feeling well, so I won't stay any longer." An Roujin coughed twice. "Your Uncle Lin will be here soon, and I need to go back to be with him."
Ji Tianhao bowed again and said, "Please take care, Madam."
An Roujin then covered half of her face with a handkerchief, looking like a sickly beauty from ancient times, and walked slowly.
A faint smile played at the corners of her lips.
She no longer needs Wen Fengmian; she has a better husband now.
There was nothing that could be done if Wen Fengmian insisted on showing up.
**
The auction officially begins at seven o'clock.
However, by 6:30, the judicial staff had not yet arrived.
This kind of thing is quite common and means that you're not ready yet.
The first floor was three-quarters full, and the private rooms were also full.
The auction also prepared excellent food for the guests, including a dish of phoenix fish.
Phoenix fish have no relation to phoenixes; they are just fish whose tails look very much like those of birds.
Ancient martial artists can slightly improve their cultivation by consuming it, but they cannot eat too much, as it can easily cause internal heat.
Phoenix fish are only found in the ancient martial arts world, and the Judicial Hall has even built several large reservoirs specifically for raising them.
No ancient martial arts family is as arrogant as the Judicial Hall.
Ying Zijing slightly lifted the curtain and glanced down: "It seems the auction will be delayed."
She thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Dad, you stay here, I'm going out for a bit."
Wen Fengmian nodded: "Go ahead, but be careful. Don't worry about your father."
With Ying Zijin's help, he learned the most basic ancient martial arts.
Ying Zijing also helped him improve his ancient martial arts cultivation by ten years by opening up his acupoints, which was enough for self-defense.
He wouldn't ask why Ying Zijin suddenly knew so many things.
The world is vast and full of wonders.
He knows his daughter well.
Ying Zijing went to the private restroom in the room and began to disguise herself.
Sometimes, she does indeed enjoy the world of ancient martial arts, which gives her a feeling of returning to hundreds of years ago.
Without cameras or high technology, movement becomes much easier.
Ten minutes later, she left the auction house and went to the place she had arranged to meet Fu Yunshen.
The mountains and clouds are also there.
All three of them were wearing masks.
The mask is black, outlined with deep gold patterns, giving it an ancient and elegant appearance.
Fu Yunshen leaned against the wall, originally standing there lazily.
Upon seeing her, he straightened up, waved, and his peach blossom eyes curved into a smile: "Yaoyao, come here."
Ying Zijing raised an eyebrow slightly: "Even though I've been transformed like this, you still recognize me?"
She not only changed her appearance, but also her body shape.
Wen Fengmian didn't even recognize him.
“How could I not recognize the person I like?” Fu Yunshen took a mask from Yunshan’s hand, bent down, and gently pinched her cheek. “Even if you turned into a baby, I would still recognize you.”
Ying Zijing glanced at him: "You probably don't have that chance anymore."
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow and began to put the mask on her.
A second before the mask was on, his eyelashes fluttered, and he tilted his head to kiss her lips.
Although it's just a fleeting touch, it's gentler and the feeling is very strong.
Ying Zijing was taken aback by the sudden kiss, and she slowly raised her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Fu Yun Shen patted her head, hugged her tightly, and felt the warmth in his arms. "I still couldn't help it. You can hit me."
Ying Zijing turned her head: "Never mind, I can't bear to part with it."
Yunshan hissed and quickly covered his eyes.
It's unbearable to look at, absolutely unbearable to look at.
Yunwu still had a blank expression, but her muscles were twitching slightly.
After letting him hug her, Ying Zijing took a step back and said, "Sir, this is broad daylight, please be mindful of your behavior."
“We should be careful.” Fu Yunshen chuckled lazily, slightly raising his chin. “Go to the warehouse.”
The warehouse is where all the auction items are stored, and the keys are kept by the head of the Justice Department's security department; there are ten keys in total.
These ten keys are made of a special metal and each has a limited lifespan; each key can only be used five times.
For some reason, three keys that were still valid before their expiration date all cracked today.
This is the first time something like this has ever happened.
They didn't have a spare key, and there wasn't enough time to forge one, so they had no choice but to destroy it by force.
The Minister of Security came forward respectfully: "Sir."
He noticed a girl next to Fu Yunshen and asked with some surprise, "Who is this?"
Yunshan immediately replied, "This young lady is an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, Yunwu couldn't hold back anymore and almost burst out laughing.
The Minister of Security looked the girl over carefully with suspicion, and after confirming that she did not have any internal energy, he believed Yunshan's words.
The main reason is that Fu Yunshen has a strict work style in the judicial hall, as do his subordinates.
The Minister of Security never considered the possibility that he might be deceived.
Ying Zijing glanced at the metal door: "Should we open the door?"
"Hmm." Fu Yunshen nodded slightly. "Open the mechanism."
The Minister of Security quickly dismantled the agency.
Fu Yunshen stepped forward.
But before he could make a move, Ying Zijing raised her leg and kicked the metal door.
With a "crack," a buzzing sound rang out, and a crack appeared in the metal door.
Fu Yunshen paused for a moment.
Ying Zijing patted his shoulder, her tone steady: "I couldn't help it, you're welcome."
Minister of State Security: "..."
You call this an ordinary person?!
Is he blind?
Such a heavy metal door would require at least fifty years of cultivation for even a martial arts master to destroy.
The elders of the Judicial Hall were stationed at headquarters, and the Minister of Security's cultivation level wasn't that high. When he heard that Fu Yunshen, this great figure, was actually at the auction, he went to invite him.
"I'll still thank you." Fu Yunshen smiled. "Let me think about how to thank you."
Ying Zijing said expressionlessly, "Then you'd better not thank me."
She could almost picture how he would thank her.
The metal door already had cracks, making it much easier to break into.
Yunshan and Yunwu quickly dismantled the metal door completely.
"Thank you, guards." The head of the security department stepped forward, glancing in the direction Fu Yunshen and Ying Zijing had left. "That young lady..."
Yunshan gave him a cold look: "You're from the Judicial Hall, you know what should be recorded and what shouldn't, right?"
The Minister of Security wiped his sweat, trembling slightly: "Understood, understood, of course I wouldn't dare leak your information."
Sure enough, he was the weakest among them.
**
At 7:30, the judicial staff arrived at the auction house.
Lin Qingjia entered the Yulouchun private room under the guidance of the butler.
Lin Qingjia was originally supposed to go to the Lin family elders' place, but An Roujin was quite lonely, so she applied to come and keep her company.
Anyway, she didn't need to pay special attention to the auction; Lin Jinyun would bid on anything that came up for her.
"Qingjia." An Roujin wiped her mouth and pursed her lips. "I saw your father."
Lin Qingjia turned around: "Ah, isn't Dad still not here? He's talking to people from the Taylor family, I don't know what they're talking about."
“It’s not Jin Yun.” An Roujin’s brows furrowed with worry as she said softly, “It’s the one you have by your own hand.”
It's almost 2 PM! Still begging for a sweet monthly vote!
*
Some babies are still unclear about the settings, so I'll mention that on a side note.
The ancient martial arts world is closed off from the outside world, like a paradise. You can think of the people inside as living in ancient times. Ninety-nine percent of the people inside don't care about the modern world and even reject it. The Ling family and the Ji family are exceptions.
For example, the scandal last month was so big that several of my elders didn't know about it, and they didn't even know the people involved. Ancient martial arts practitioners don't care about these things even more than the older generation.
