Chapter 510 The Ji Family Heir! Igniting the Entire Imperial Capital University [2 Updates]
That was the guard that had returned.
Not only that, but it also alarmed the dean and several vice deans who held real power.
The group of people all had solemn and cold expressions.
Their gazes were all fixed on Ji Yiyuan with a clear purpose, sharp and cold.
The dean didn't say anything more, he just pointed at Ji Yiyuan and calmly ordered, "Arrest him."
The lead guard immediately stepped forward and, without saying a word, pinned Ji Yiyuan down.
Ji Yiyuan felt a series of stars flashing before his eyes, and he could barely stand. The three words Ji Yihang had said—"I was faking it"—were still echoing in his ears.
These three words shattered his entire being.
He thought he had caught Ji Yihang red-handed, but it turned out it was all a lie?!
Ji Yiyuan was furious: "Ji Yihang! You're full of schemes and tricks, you're shameless!"
“What a joke.” Madam Ji said coldly, “If you hadn’t barged in and framed us, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. We were just acting in self-defense.”
Why was Ji Yiyuan so eager to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?
They made a mistake, and Ji Yiyuan rushed over to their door.
"Dean, our family has arrived." A vice-dean glanced at the time. "Who are we?"
"Public trial." The dean waved his hand. "Back to the inner courtyard."
Ji Yiyuan was taken away just like that, with great fanfare.
"Dad, I'll take you home." Ji Yihang completely relaxed. "Thank you for your trouble."
The old man shook his head, then looked at the girl with kind eyes: "Girl, I must thank you for this. Your future is immeasurable, don't let the Ji family hold you back."
A woman of extraordinary talent and beauty, a phoenix among men.
Ying Zijing's eyes flickered slightly: "I understand."
Returning to the Ji family was to help Wen Fengmian reclaim what was rightfully his.
She turned to Wen Fengmian and said, "Dad, let's go to the inner courtyard too. Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you should go back."
Wen Fengmian nodded.
On their way to the inner courtyard, the two ran into Ji Li, who had rushed back from Imperial University.
After learning how things had unfolded, Ji Li went along with them.
In the inner courtyard.
The Grand Secretaries had all arrived, surrounded by a circle of guards.
The person seated at the head of the table was an elderly man who appeared to be in his fifties or sixties.
Ying Zijing narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and instantly judged that the old man's cultivation level was over fifty years.
This level of cultivation is at the level of an elder of the Ji family.
She concealed her aura.
The dean bowed to the old man: "Third Elder, this is the criminal. We have evidence that he committed intentional homicide."
The Ji family allows internal strife, but this is only on an experimental basis.
Physically harming others is absolutely forbidden.
The Third Elder's gaze was piercing, his imposing presence radiating authority even without anger: "Begin the torture!"
Soon, guards came up with all sorts of instruments of torture.
Public trial, public execution.
Throughout the interrogation room, only Ji Yiyuan's continuous screams could be heard, sounding heart-wrenching.
After a round of torture, Ji Yiyuan collapsed to the ground, barely able to speak.
Until he saw the girl's cold and aloof phoenix eyes, he shuddered and his mind suddenly cleared for a moment.
"My lord, she! She knows ancient martial arts!" Ji Yiyuan grasped at a straw, pointing at Ying Zijin and hissing, "She also knows ancient medicine! She must be a spy sent by another family, my lord, you must arrest her too!"
In an instant, all the eyes of the martial arts practitioners in the interrogation room focused on the girl, creating an atmosphere of immense pressure.
Even Wen Fengmian's expression changed slightly.
The dean was taken aback: "Ancient martial arts and ancient medicine?"
Only Ying Zijin remained calm and composed.
The Third Elder scrutinized the girl for a moment before slowly asking, "Have you studied the Ancient Martial Arts Heart Sutra?"
Ying Zijing shook her head: "Never heard of it."
Have you studied "Human Acupoint Chart"?
Ying Zijing raised her eyes: "If it's the book on traditional Chinese medicine, I have indeed read it."
But ancient medicine is different from traditional Chinese medicine.
The Third Elder nodded and glanced at the ancient martial artist beside him.
"You even dare to deceive your own family." The martial arts practitioner stepped forward, raised his hand, and slapped Ji Yiyuan across the face, his voice cold, "You're courting death!"
The slap carried internal force, causing Ji Yiyuan to cough up blood and his face to swell up.
He lay on the ground, barely breathing, with blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth.
The internal energy surged into his body, causing Ji Yiyuan's internal organs to churn and throb, the pain excruciating.
Ji Yiyuan was dumbfounded, incredulous: "My lord?!"
"Fool, if you don't understand ancient martial arts, shut your mouth." The martial arts practitioner slapped Ji Yiyuan again and sneered, "Do you even know what ancient martial arts is? Do you think anyone at this age can condense internal energy? Everyone's a genius?"
"Ancient medicine? I can count the number of people who practice both ancient medicine and ancient martial arts on my fingers!"
Even the Third Elder couldn't sense any fluctuations of internal energy from Ying Zijin.
How could a girl who is not even twenty years old have a cultivation level that surpasses that of the Third Elder of the Ji family?
Of course they investigated Ying Zijin.
Ying Zijin has always lived outside and has never been to the ancient martial arts world.
Especially during the first seventeen years, living in the poverty-stricken area of Qingshui County, where he could only fill his stomach every day, how could he still practice ancient martial arts?
"She really does!" Ji Yiyuan burst into tears. "I swear, she definitely knows ancient martial arts! Why don't you believe me? Why don't you believe me?!"
"Shut up!" The martial artist was completely enraged. With a third slap, Ji Yiyuan completely fainted.
The dean hurriedly ordered, "Take him away and lock him up. Investigate his faction thoroughly."
Ji Li looked at Ji Yiyuan: "..."
Oh, that's terrible.
Her cousin's age and appearance were so deceptive.
No one would believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
After being disciplined by Yue Fuyi and receiving a warning from the Judicial Hall, the Ji family's main branch has indeed become much more obedient.
The Third Elder didn't linger and quickly left with the ancient martial artists.
Wen Fengmian then proceeded to conduct the experiment.
Ji Li and Ying Zijin walked side by side.
"By the way, Ying Shen, Imperial University has been in session for almost a month now, and the military training is after National Day." Ji Li said with bright eyes, "It will last for fourteen days, and I heard that we can even handle guns and go hunting."
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "Military training?"
Qingzhi Middle School also has military training, which lasts for seven days starting from the first year of high school.
However, when she transferred to Qingzhi Middle School, she was almost in her second year of high school, so she naturally missed out on military training.
"Yeah, Ying Shen, are you participating?" Ji Li asked the question, then immediately regretted it. "I forgot, you're a martial arts practitioner. Why would you participate in military training?"
Ji Li loves sports and practices martial arts; she can run five kilometers every day without any problem.
Unlike other students, she was actually looking forward to military training.
“No, you’re right, it’s quite interesting.” Ying Zijing thought for a moment and nodded. “I can participate.”
"Great! Great!" Ji Li was very happy. "Hey, but which department are you in, Ying Shen? Military training is divided by department."
"I'll go with you," Ying Zijin said. "Are you going back to school this afternoon?"
"Hmm." Ji Li sighed, "The experimental class has so many courses, I'm almost overwhelmed."
“Hmm, perfect timing.” Ying Zijing said thoughtfully, “I’ll also go to Imperial University.”
**
Beijing University was bustling at the end of September.
The school sports meet is held before National Day, and military training is held after National Day.
The upperclassmen are just waiting for the military training so they can witness the miserable state of their underclassmen.
However, it was lunch break time, and Ying Zijin had entered through a side gate, so there weren't many people on the road.
She went straight to Zuo Li.
Zuo Li thought someone was helping him with the experiment and was about to be happy when he heard Ying Zijin say that she was preparing to participate in military training.
Zuo Li: "..."
What the hell?
Participating in military training?
Is the scholarship money comparable to the funding allocated to their lab?
Ying Zijing paused for a moment, then said succinctly, "I'm on vacation."
She's been really tired lately and needs to relax.
Zuo Li felt that he couldn't keep up with Ying Zijin's train of thought, and after a long while, he finally asked, "...Do you treat military training as a vacation?"
Listen to this, is this even human language?
Military training at Imperial Capital University is different from that of other schools; it is divided into several levels based on physical strength and faction.
The military training that national defense students participate in is no different from that of the military; it is very strict.
Next up are the physical education students.
Finally, for ordinary students, boys and girls are also separated.
Even at the lowest level, after fourteen days, you'll be skinned alive.
Zuo Li himself graduated from Imperial University, and he knew very well the difficulty of the military training at Imperial University.
He was deeply impressed.
His roommate is a chemistry major who knows a lot about skincare products. He applies sunscreen every day and even tells him that sunscreen is not only to prevent skin from getting darker, but more importantly, to prevent aging.
Zuo Li thought, how could a man like him use these things?
Need not!
As a result, after fourteen days, he turned into a piece of charcoal.
I regret it so much.
Zuo Li only felt a toothache, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only say, "Then, then you should prepare sunscreen."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow: "Professor Zuo Li."
Zuo Li suddenly felt a bit cold, and he wrapped his coat tighter around himself: "What's wrong?"
“We’ve launched a new package.” Ying Zijing glanced at her phone. “One package includes twenty hydrating face masks, a refreshing sunscreen, hand cream, and aromatherapy. It’s only 3888 yuan. Would you like to buy a few sets for your wife?”
"..."
Ying Zijing left Zuo Li's office and went to find Principal Chen Junxian.
Zuo Li stared at the 38,880 yuan transfer, feeling an unbearable pain in her heart.
Fine, I'll buy it for my wife.
As Zuo Li wiped his sweat and prepared to continue working, an important question suddenly came to mind.
He forgot that he should have made Ying Zijin wear a mask, preferably so that no one could recognize her!
The ISC competition is something that students above the second year of university don't really pay attention to, since it's a knowledge competition for high school students and has nothing to do with university students.
Especially in their junior and senior years, they are busy preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, studying abroad, and looking for jobs, so they simply don't have time to look at these things. At most, they may have heard of Ying Zijin.
However, this time, Ying Zijing, a freshman, has a huge number of fans.
Most likely.
Ying Zijing didn't come to the start of the semester, and the freshman speech was prepared by another top scorer in the college entrance examination, which made the freshmen feel very down.
Zuo Li slumped in her chair, somewhat distraught.
Oh no, this is going to set off an explosion at the entire Imperial University.
**
On the Ji family's side.
The news that Ji Yiyuan had all his resources confiscated, his merit points abolished, and was imprisoned in the Ji family's iron cell spread throughout the entire Ji family in just one hour.
All factions within the Ji family were terrified and became much more restrained.
After dealing with Ji Yiyuan, the inner court held a very serious meeting, summoning the leaders of the major factions and the elders of the inner court.
The dean spoke up: "What our family means is that because the Judicial Hall is cracking down hard on ancient martial artists who are interfering in the secular world, our family may very well have nothing to do with us in the future."
Many people were shocked when they heard this.
The secular world is the term used by the ancient martial arts and ancient medicine communities to refer to the outside world, representing the mortal world and ordinary people.
The reason why the Ji family is not afraid of any of the top families in the capital is not only because they have a lot of scientific research data, but also because they are the main family in the ancient martial arts world.
If the main families of the ancient martial arts world no longer interfere in the secular world, their overall martial strength will greatly decline.
At that time, they will all be subject to the control of the One-Character Team.
In the past, the Ji family was not afraid of the Yizi team at all.
The dean added, "But if a traitor emerges, our family will not let him off the hook."
This is why the Ji family dares to use people from outside the family; because with ancient martial arts practitioners around, even if they run to O Continent, they can still be dealt with.
"So, after discussing it with the elders, we finally made a decision." The dean tapped the table to signal everyone to be quiet. "Now, the Ji family needs an heir to inherit the Ji family and the research institute."
Although the dean holds the position of dean, he is not considered the owner of the research institute.
The research materials possessed by the Ji family research institute are coveted even by the top laboratories in O continent.
We must find a qualified successor.
The dean had his assistant bring over the documents and distributed them to everyone: "These are the five successors chosen by the elders."
Ji Yihang took it and opened it.
First heir: Yan Ruoxue.
