"Is that so?" Ji Fengyao asked indifferently.
These two words, spoken in a casual, conversational tone, inexplicably evoked a chilling feeling in the listener.
Qu Jinshang felt he must be overthinking things. The free Rejuvenation Pill had blinded him, making him extremely excited and only wanting to get his hands on the next free pill: "This is absolutely true. I remember the first time our Qu family captured the remnants of the Yun family was more than nine hundred years ago. At that time, our family head was not yet the family head, but only the young master of the Qu family. I was not yet an elder of the Qu family at that time..."
"Get to the point. I have no interest in hearing your Qu family's petty squabbles about dynastic changes," Ji Fengyao said calmly, her tone clearly tinged with anger.
Huang Daohong, Jun Luoying, and the others all showed disdain and mockery.
Lan Tiangao, the representative of the Dulan family, occasionally glanced at Ji Fengyao, a hint of deep thought flashing across his eyes.
But then Lan Tiangao looked away, clearly not believing his absurd guess either; it was too ridiculous!
"The key point, the key point, the key point is that the remnant of the Yun family was captured by our current patriarch. Not long after, the current patriarch had an epiphany and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. More than two hundred years later, the current patriarch had a young master, so the old patriarch decided to go into seclusion and step down..." Qu Jinshang blurted out this part and realized that he was being long-winded.
Before anyone could remind him, he quickly changed his words, saying, "Yes, yes, the key point is that our young master was also lucky. When he was twenty years old, our young master also captured a remnant of the Yun family. Similarly, not two years later, our young master also had an epiphany, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. People say that it was a reward from heaven for the Qu family, and that the remnant of the Yun family was someone abandoned by the heavens."
Having recounted all these matters in one breath, Qu Jinshang looked at Ji Fengyao with hopeful and ingratiating eyes, waiting for her to give him the Resurrection Pill.
Ji Fengyao looked at him indifferently and said, "Besides your patriarch and young master, has no one else in your Qu family ever had an epiphany?"
“Alas, we didn’t capture or execute those remnants of the Yun family, so how can we claim credit for this? Heaven always rewards and punishes fairly, so why would it give us such a reward?” Qu Jinshang said truthfully, still looking at Ji Fengyao with longing eyes.
"What enlightenment, what heavenly reward? They must have obtained their cultivation by squandering the Yun family's descendants. Miss, let me lead people to kill these bastards and then tell everyone the truth." Xi Que felt like she had a powder keg about to explode, and she was extremely uncomfortable.
“These bastards must be killed, but the term ‘remnants of the Yun family’ has taken root in people’s hearts. Without evidence, we can’t explain it clearly with just a few words. Now is not the time to reveal the truth.” Ji Fengyao was also extremely distressed.
If it were a clan wiped out due to normal infighting between families, that would be easier to bear.
However, the entire Yun family was treated as a furnace, insulted and drained, and was even annihilated due to the stigma of colluding with the demon race.
Such humiliation, such filth!
How much resentment and despair those members of the Yun family who died because of this must have felt!
The closer Ji Fengyao got to the truth, the stronger her anger and hatred became.
She vowed to find the culprits and repay them a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for the humiliation and suffering the Yun family had endured!
She will not let any of the demons who were involved in harming the Yun family, especially the Jin family, get away with it!
