"He's my business partner, but more importantly, he's a friend," Ji Jiuying explained with a smile.
Shiraisha responded, but the hostility in her eyes did not lessen.
"How many days have passed now?"
“Eight days have passed, you brat, why are you working so hard?” Hei Xiangling said.
Eight days? Ji Jiuying was somewhat surprised; had so much time already passed?
"Xiao Jiu, Qingfeng's wedding is in two days. Will you go?" Ye Qingchen asked.
Ji Jiuying nodded, "I will go."
Originally, she didn't really want to go, but when she remembered that Ye Qingchen said Gu Qingfeng had a spiritual vein mine, she had to go.
Upon hearing about the wedding, Hei Xiangling and Bai Lisha's eyes lit up with great interest, as they could enjoy both the excitement and the delicious food.
"I wonder when Xiao Jiu will be leaving? Could she travel to the far north capital with Qing Chen?"
Ye Qingchen's gentle voice was like a spring breeze, making it hard to refuse.
"Okay, when would you like to go, Qingchen?"
"Would tomorrow at noon be alright?"
"good."
After parting ways with Ye Qingchen, she rushed back to the Princess's residence. Upon returning, Ji Jiuying clearly sensed that there were more people around her, but she didn't know who they were.
"Second Uncle, I'm back."
"Huh? Where did they go?"
Ji Jiuying arrived at Feng Che and Feng Wu's courtyard. One of the rooms was surrounded by barriers and talismans. Ji Jiuying raised an eyebrow. Fifth Uncle hasn't come out of seclusion yet?
Ji Jiuying turned her questioning gaze to Bai Lisha and Hei Xiangling, and the two shook their heads at the same time. "We went to the mountains two days ago, and Second Master was still here at that time."
Just then, Qiuyue passed by, stepped forward, and curtsied. "Princess, are you looking for the Second Master?"
Ji Jiuying turned around. "Qiuyue, have you seen where Second Master went?"
"Your Highness, the Second Master left in a hurry early this morning, and this servant does not know where he went."
Why is my second uncle in such a hurry to go somewhere?
"Xiangling, where are Qingling and Yingyue?"
Ji Jiuying asked again.
Hei Xiangling and Bai Lisha exchanged a glance and told Ji Jiuying everything that had happened that day. Ji Jiuying smiled helplessly, "Well, with Yingyue around, nothing should go wrong."
"However, I have something important to do now..."
As Ji Jiuying spoke, her gaze would inadvertently fall on Bai Lisha. Bai Lisha immediately understood and stepped forward with a smile, "Little Jiu, what can I do for you?"
"Little Bai, it's really nothing serious. I just wanted you to go to the Nine Heavens Divine Palace to see if A-Yue has returned yet..."
Ji Jiuying pursed her lips. Ever since he tore through space and left with Yuezhu that day, there had been no news of him. She could sense the direction of Qing Qiansi Finger, but she didn't know where it was. She guessed it was in the Tianyu Continent, and she couldn't help but worry about him.
Bai Lisha then realized that Xiao Jiu was thinking about that evil god. "Of course, no problem. I'll go and inquire about it now."
"Okay, thank you, Xiaobai."
Bai Lisha chuckled a few times, "No need, no need, Xiao Jiu can treat me to barbecue and hot pot next time."
Ji Jiuying's lips twitched slightly, and she glanced at Hei Xiangling unconsciously, but Hei Xiangling pretended to look away.
"Xiao Bai, since that brat is so eager for news about that man, you'd better go now~"
Hei Xiangling was afraid that Xiaobai would bring up something else, so she hurriedly urged her to leave. Bai Lisha gave Hei Xiangling a resentful look, "Sister Xiangling, don't you love me anymore? You're making me leave!"
"No... How could that be? This brat is just in a hurry."
Hei Xiangling laughed, and Bai Lisha then left the Cangming Continent.
In a nearby grove of trees, a powerful aura kept the surrounding spirit beasts at bay.
Feng Che lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression or guess his thoughts. Standing opposite him was a man in his fifties, looking at Feng Che with a serious expression.
"Che'er, you've been wandering around all these years and haven't returned to the Feng family. I know you resent me and your grandfather, but these are things passed down from generation to generation. Che'er, since you can't change these things, why not try to accept them?"
The man remained silent for a moment before speaking, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Lan'er is his daughter, but Ji Jiuying is not. No matter how selfish or ruthless he is, if he had to choose between Feng Lan and Ji Jiuying, he would choose the former, just like Feng Luo.
Feng Che chuckled self-deprecatingly and met Feng Cang's eyes. "Whether it's something that can't be changed or something that I don't want to change, Father knows better than I do. There's no need to try to persuade me. I won't be as cold-blooded and ruthless as you."
"Che'er, if you do this, the ancestor will kill you. This has always been the case in the Feng family for thousands of years. We dare not gamble..."
"Father, you've never met Jiu'er, and you don't understand her. If you met her, you would definitely like her. She's outstanding, even more outstanding than Lan'er. The Feng family will definitely regret missing out on her..."
Feng Cang looked at Feng Che, rarely seeing him praise someone so highly. But he didn't believe it; he had lived for so long and had seen too many outstanding people.
I think Feng Che's high praise for Ji Jiuying is just his own arrogance, but of course, it's also his choice.
"Che'er, you are my son, and I don't want to see you sink deeper and deeper into the mire..."
Feng Che frowned slightly. "Father, it is the Feng family that is now walking into the mire... If the Feng family is really that powerful, why would it need a young girl to spend her whole life maintaining it?"
"Feng Che, don't forget you're also a member of the Feng family! How dare you say such treasonous things!"
Feng Cang's expression changed, and he slapped Feng Che across the face, a trickle of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Feng Che did not dodge, but he was even more disappointed in the Feng family.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Feng Che chuckled lightly, "Born into such a depraved Feng family, do you think I wanted it? Was it something I could choose?"
"Father, just pretend I, Feng Che, died outside. Jiu'er, I won't let you catch me. If you insist on catching me, then step over my dead body..."
Snap!
Another crisp sound rang out, and Feng Che's head was knocked to the side.
"You bastard!"
Feng Cang's face turned red with anger, and the hand that had hit Feng Che was trembling incessantly, showing that he was quite angry at Feng Che's words.
"I'm going back now. Please make yourself at home, Father!"
Feng Che didn't turn around to look at Feng Cang, perhaps because he was disappointed in Feng Cang or the entire Feng family.
"Che'er, can't you be less stubborn?"
Feng Che paused, then sneered, "Father, it's you who's stubborn."
"Since we have different paths, there's nothing more for us to say."
"Feng Che, for the sake of a wicked girl, you betrayed the entire Feng family. Was it worth it?" Feng Cang roared in exasperation.
"Whether it's worth it or not, I'll judge based on my own feelings, so don't worry about it, Dad!"
After saying that, Feng Che left without looking back, leaving Feng Cang standing there in a daze.
