"Did you get the things?" Li Mu said to Chen Siqi with a smile.
Jiang Yuer was about to say something when Chen Siqi quickly made a silencing gesture: "Shh ~ Lord Jiang, although these things are your personal assets, you are still a member of the Jiang family after all. Let's not discuss them here, lest others hear and have a bad influence. Brother, don't ask anymore. I will report to you one by one after we have settled the matter."
Hearing Chen Siqi say this, Jiang Yuer smiled bitterly. Is she really still a member of the Jiang family? I'm afraid not. Only when she meets the ancestor can she know.
However, what Chen Siqi said was not without reason. If she took such a large sum of money and gave it to an outsider, if someone with ulterior motives knew about it, they would definitely make a fuss about it. She didn't care, but she was afraid that those people would make things difficult for Li Mu and others.
In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, she followed Chen Siqi's advice and stopped mentioning the matter.
Li Mu naturally did not continue to ask questions. After all, he had already seen through Chen Siqi's fickleness, so he just let her be happy for a while.
Seeing that her plan to conceal the truth was going smoothly, Chen Siqi couldn't help but feel that she was a genius and was secretly proud of herself.
Then, they left the mansion under the watchful eyes of the servants in Jiang Yuer's mansion and continued to fly towards the palace of Jiang Yang, the ancestor of the Jiang family, in the center of the ancient Jiang domain.
The scope of the Ancient Jiang Domain is extremely large, larger than any other domain Li Mu has ever visited. Fortunately, Li Mu is already a 7th-level Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor, and can cross space at a speed of one hundred billion times the speed of light even in the Qiongzu Universe where the suppression of the Heavenly Dao is extremely strong. In just half a month, Li Mu, under the guidance of Jiang Yuer, brought three people to the center of the Ancient Jiang Domain. In front of them, a giant palace that is 100,000 light-years high stood in front of Li Mu and others.
This is the most core building of the Jiang family. It is also the place where Jiang Yang, the ancestor of the Jiang family, goes into seclusion and summons younger generations.
Faced with such a luxurious and huge palace, Chen Siqi swallowed her saliva and wanted to complain about the extravagance and waste, but when she felt the suffocating atmosphere in the palace, she finally closed her mouth.
Jiang Yuer took a deep breath and said to Li Mu and the others, "Wait for me here first."
As he spoke, he flew towards the palace.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of her, blocking her way.
Jiang Yuer had to stop, and seeing this, Li Mu and others quickly flew to her side.
"Haha, Jiang Yuer, why are you doing this? I've told you, my ancestor has already informed Ancestor Jiang." Ji Wenbin said with a smile.
However, after seeing Li Mu beside Jiang Yuer, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Yuer ignored Ji Wenbin and looked at the person standing side by side with Ji Wenbin and pleaded, "Elder Hongyun, Yuer only has one request. Can I meet the ancestor?"
The person in front of him was named Jiang Hongyun, the 23rd elder of the Jiang family. Like Ji Wenbin, he was also a 6th-level Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor. This man had been quite caring towards her in the past.
In this situation, she knew that it was meaningless to verify Ji Wenbin's words. After all, no matter how arrogant Ji Wenbin was, he would not dare to speak nonsense in front of the palace of the Jiang family's ancestor. She knew that the ancestor had really given up on her, but she was still unwilling to give up and wanted to fight for it one last time.
Hearing Jiang Yuer's plea, Jiang Hongyun smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Yuer, you should understand that the ancestor always keeps his word and no one can go against his will. Today, you should go with Elder Wenbin. Ji Haoxuan is also a dragon among men. He has achieved the status of Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor at a young age. He has a promising future. With his status in the Ji family, it is not wronged for you to marry into the Ji family."
Jiang Yuer laughed bitterly upon hearing this: "Ji Haoxuan is considered a rare talent? What a joke! Who among our six major forces doesn't know his character! If he hadn't been so lucky as to be favored by Ji Zu..."
"Enough! Jiang Yuer, you've gone too far." Jiang Hongyun snorted coldly and shouted in a deep voice.
Then he said to Ji Wenbin with a hint of apology: "Children are ignorant, I hope Elder Wenbin will not mind."
Ji Wenbin waved his hand and said, "Hey! What are you talking about, Elder Hongyun? Yu'er is the daughter-in-law of my Ji family. She will also have the surname Ji in the future. Given Haoxuan's status in my ancestor's mind, we Ji family can't wait to pamper her. Besides, you also said that she is still young and not very sensible. Let Haoxuan train her more in the future."
Jiang Hongyun's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he just smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
Jiang Yuer ignored Ji Wenbin's remarks which were obviously meant to be a warning. She could not change her situation at all by using her eloquence.
So she continued to plead with Jiang Hongyun: "Elder Hongyun, you watched me grow up, can you really bear to let me fall into the abyss?"
When Jiang Yuer said this, before Jiang Hongyun could speak, Ji Wenbin frowned and said, "How can you talk like that, kid?"
In response, Jiang Hongyun gently patted Ji Wenbin's hand to comfort him, and then said to Jiang Yuer: "I can't do anything if the ancestor doesn't want to see you. Since this matter has been decided, you don't have to be too persistent. I believe that the Ji family will not treat you unfairly."
Jiang Yuer shook her head and smiled bitterly when she heard that. Not to mention that Ji Haoxuan had a bad reputation to begin with, but she had already completely fallen out with Ji Haoxuan during the election. If she really married Ji Haoxuan, she was afraid that her endless life would be completely ruined.
But Jiang Hongyun was right. If the ancestor didn't see her, Jiang Hongyun would be powerless to help her even if he wanted to.
Thinking of this, she decided to make a last-ditch effort. She immediately mobilized all the energy in her body and shouted loudly, "Grandmaster, why? Yu'er has already won the election of Lingxiao Palace as you ordered, why do you still want to marry me to the Ji family?"
Seeing Jiang Yuer still struggling in vain, Jiang Hongyun shook his head, but did not stop Jiang Yuer.
How could the place where their Jiang family's ancestors were in seclusion be an ordinary place? Not to mention that Jiang Yu'er was just a Chaos Immortal Ancestor, even if he, a cultivator of the sixth level of the Hongmeng Immortal Ancestor, made a sound with all his strength, he could not penetrate the palace in front of him. In his opinion, Jiang Yu'er's actions were just in vain.
Jiang Yuer naturally understood that her voice could not penetrate the palace in front of her, but who was Jiang Yang? He was a top cultivator of the 9th level of Hongmeng, recognized as the second most powerful being in the Qiongzu Universe. If he wanted to hear the sound of the outside world, he could hear even a needle falling on the ground.
"Ancestor, don't you all care about Lingxiao Palace? Do you really want to see the Palace Master I worked so hard to get become a wedding dress for the Ji family?" Jiang Yuer continued to shout.
Ji Wenbin was a little unhappy when he heard this. What does it mean to make wedding clothes for the Ji family? It's as if the Ji family has picked up a big bargain, so he said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yuer, although you are the daughter-in-law of my Ji family, you can't just say something nonsense..."
"Forget it, Elder Wenbin, Yu'er can't figure it out at the moment and is in a bad mood. Just let her vent. When she gets tired of shouting, she will naturally follow you obediently." Jiang Hongyun advised.
Ji Wenbin snorted coldly when he heard this, but didn't say anything else. Jiang Hongyun was right. Instead of forcing Jiang Yuer to leave now, it would be better to let her struggle a little longer. When she was completely desperate and lost faith, it would be much smoother to take her back to the Ji family.
