Lan Ting took Lan Xi's hand and asked, "Xi'er, why did you go to the Wilderness City?"
Upon hearing Lan Ting's words, Lan Xi was slightly taken aback. All those memories flooded back to her mind. She panicked, clutched her chest, and looked pained.
This scene terrified everyone.
"Xi'er?"
"Xi'er, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Lan Xi suddenly raised her head and searched for Ji Jiuying's figure in the crowd.
"cousin······"
Ji Jiuying came up and took her hand: "I'm here."
"I'm not..." Lan Xi suddenly realized why her grandfather and father were wearing such clothes. It was her, it was her who was dead!
"You're alright, you're still alive."
Lan Xi reached out and touched her heart area. It was completely smooth, with no wounds whatsoever. She looked at Ji Jiuying with a puzzled expression, and her body trembled involuntarily as she recalled that scene. She had been pierced through the heart by a sword from Kamakura, her heart shattered. How had she survived?
"Ninth Girl, what exactly is going on?"
Lan Mingyang looked at Ji Jiuying with suspicion. The scene of Xi'er's life tablet breaking was that she was killed by a sword through the heart. She must know who the murderer was.
"I met her in the pyramid. At that time, her soul was sealed and her body was controlled by another person. Later, I separated that person's soul from Lanxi's body, and she returned to her original form. As for how she came to and went to the Wilderness City and how she entered the pyramid, only she knows."
After hearing Ji Jiuying's words, everyone turned their attention to Lan Xi, who looked completely bewildered.
"I...I don't know what happened either..."
"Later we encountered Kamakura, and we fought. To save me, she was stabbed through the heart by Kamakura..."
As she spoke, Ji Jiuying looked at them apologetically: "I'm sorry I didn't bring you the news right away."
The Lan family members looked furious upon hearing this: "Kamakura!"
"That old bastard is still alive! He even killed Xi'er! We must kill him, no matter what, to avenge him!"
"I'm afraid things won't go as Uncle hopes, I've already killed Kamakura!"
Everyone stared at her in shock once again. Although she possessed divine beasts and artifacts, the fact that a girl in her teens could kill a god who had lived for thousands of years was simply too terrifying.
Lan Mingyang came to his senses and seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while.
"Ninth Girl, did you use the Twin Lotus to revive Xi'er?"
"yes."
There was no point in hiding it anymore, so Ji Jiuying readily admitted it.
Everyone stared at her in astonishment. Twin lotus blossoms were a legendary existence, a supreme-level spiritual medicine. Possessing it was equivalent to having two lives. Ordinary people would not be willing to give it up easily, even if that person died for her.
“Those who defy fate will surely suffer a backlash. Ninth Girl, this is the Star Bell that has been passed down in my Lan family for thousands of years. This Star Bell contains the soul blood of every generation of our Lan family. I hope it can help you resist some of the damage in the future.”
Lan Mingyang, after all, was a man who had lived to a ripe old age, and his knowledge and experience were naturally greater than that of the average person.
After hearing his words, the Lan family looked at Ji Jiuying with gratitude, while also worrying about her. Lan Xi looked at Ji Jiuying with mixed feelings of complex emotions and concern.
Feng Che and the others looked at Lan Mingyue and Feng Lan at the same time, and sure enough, they panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Ji Jiuying away.
"Jiu'er, is the backlash real?"
"Don't worry, Grandma, Mom, I'm lucky and I'll be fine."
That's what they said, but they were still worried and looked at her with concern.
At this moment, Lan Yu stepped forward and asked in confusion, "Ninth Girl, when we arrived at the Desolate City, the pyramids were already in ruins. How did you get out?"
Ji Jiuying lowered her eyes and smiled, "It was Si Yu from Tianji Pavilion who led us away."
"So that's how it is."
An hour passed, and people outside began to look in with curiosity.
"They've been inside for so long, why haven't they come out yet?"
"Yes, could it be that what Ji Jiuying said about Lan Xi not being dead is true?"
“That’s impossible. I heard that Lan Xi’s life tablet was broken. How could she possibly come back to life? In my opinion, it must be that the Lan family couldn’t accept Lan Xi’s death, which is why they believed Ji Jiuying’s words.”
"Keep your voice down! This is the Lan family home. Are you out of your mind?"
"I really don't know which mountains and forests you two came from. Ji Jiuying is someone who can stir up the winds and clouds of the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, it was revealed not long ago that she has twin lotus flowers on her body. Do you know about twin lotus flowers? They are supreme spiritual medicines that can snatch people from the hands of the King of Hell!"
"What's impossible about Ji Jiuying reviving Lan Xi!"
"that is······"
Upon hearing this, the two immediately objected: "Hmph, you know that's a supreme-level spiritual medicine, who would be willing to take it out?"
Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't!
"·····"
In an instant, the hall became noisy, filled with endless arguments.
Until the sound of a door opening rang out, everyone's eyes were drawn to that door.
The Lan family members, who were originally heartbroken, all had joy on their faces, which, combined with their mourning clothes, made them look somewhat frightening.
When Lan Xi's figure appeared vividly in everyone's sight, the entire place fell silent, staring at the figure in astonishment.
A scream went through my mind.
Lanxi is really alive!
Ji Jiuying really resurrected her using the twin lotus flowers.
Lanxi was stunned by what she saw; this was... her funeral.
Lan Mingyang came to his senses and coughed lightly: "First of all, I want to thank everyone. Now that our Xi'er has returned, this funeral is no longer necessary. Please go back first, and we will visit you one by one after we have settled our family affairs."
The others, sensing the situation, came up to say goodbye.
However, the scene that happened at the Lan family quickly spread throughout Tianyu City and became the talk of the town.
Lan Mingyang then ordered his servants to throw away all the burial items.
After leaving the Lan family, Ji Jiuying arrived at an inn and went inside.
"Shopkeeper, I'm looking for your boss!"
As he spoke, he showed the token in his hand, and the shopkeeper's expression immediately became respectful upon seeing the token.
"Miss Ji, the master is in Tianya Pavilion on the fourth floor. I will take you there now."
"No need to trouble you, shopkeeper, I can go by myself."
"Alright!"
Ji Jiuying walked up the stairs and looked at the interior of the restaurant, which was almost identical to Qi Yeyue Restaurant. The first floor was an auction hall, the second floor was a private room, the third floor was a top-tier private room, and the fourth floor was where Ye Qingchen lived.
When Ji Jiuying arrived on the third floor, the door to the "Tian" room opened, and a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight.
In an instant, their eyes met!
"Old Yu!"
"Girl!"
"How did you end up here!" the two asked in unison.
