"There's no need for everyone to be too sad. We were never born here, and the lifespan of this world is already set. Even if we have the best relationships with people, we may not be able to take them all with us. The current situation is actually fate's way of helping us," Ji Fengyao deliberately said in a whimsical way to comfort everyone. "If it is fate, what can we do?"
Ji Fengming slapped his thigh and said, "Alright, let's pack our things now and get ready to move. Tomorrow or the day after, we'll go back to Bald Vulture Village to pick up our mother, our two younger brothers, and all the old and young people from Bald Vulture Village. We won't care about anything else, we'll head straight for Cangzhou!"
"We can't go this way either," Shang Xiye said in a deep voice.
Ji Fengming raised a long eyebrow: "Then how are we supposed to get there? Are you afraid that ungrateful dog emperor will come after us? Ha, let him try! If one comes, I'll kill it; if two come, I'll chop them both up!"
“Killing won’t solve the fundamental problem. We haven’t gotten the whereabouts of Consort Lian out of the Empress Dowager yet. We should wait until Princess Zhaoping and that old hag have fallen out, and we have a complete falling out with the Emperor before we leave. By then, we’ll be all gone,” Ji Fengyao said methodically, tapping the small square table beside her with her slender white hand.
"Your Highness, with Princess Zhaoping's timid nature, does she really have the courage to turn against the Empress Dowager?" Bai Lu still expressed doubt about this.
Ji Fengyao tilted her head playfully and said, "If it were an ordinary person speaking, given her usual personality, she certainly wouldn't dare to, nor would she think so deeply; but this time when I spoke to her, I used a mind-awakening technique and asked her about her heart, which was tantamount to a wake-up call. Naturally, she thought more deeply than ever before, and this time she will definitely dare."
"Is the Awakening Technique really that amazing?" Ji Fengming asked with curiosity.
Ji Fengyao looked at him mischievously, then suddenly used a mind-awakening spell and shouted at him, "Brother, want to try?!"
Ji Fengming: "...!"
It felt like a thunderclap exploded in my ears, my mind went blank, and I was instantly stunned!
"Pfft, hahaha..." Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Xique and Bailu laughed rather unkindly.
Even Hei Xiao, who always felt sorry for him, couldn't help but chuckle and covered his lips with the back of his hand. He then quietly reached behind him and tugged at the back of his shirt.
Ji Fengming finally snapped out of his daze, his face full of excitement: "Wow, little sister, your Mind-Awakening Technique is much more effective than the Heart-Clearing Technique! Quickly write down the incantation and mental cultivation method and teach it to your brother!"
Speaking of the method of calming the mind.
Ji Fengyao recalled an old incident and asked, "Brother, when I was attacked during my medicinal bath in Tongyou, was it you who played the flute that night to protect me from going berserk?"
Upon hearing the young female bandit's words, Black Owl also recalled the river where he had almost gone mad while traveling to Tongyou. He had also heard the soothing sound of a flute, which must have been the cry of a phoenix.
It turns out that Fengming had already started protecting him back then.
Hei Xiao silently turned his head, his clear and gentle gaze falling lightly on Ji Fengming's youthful face, handsome as a flower in spring, possessing a face of unparalleled beauty.
Ji Fengming scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Of course it's me. You're my sister, and I certainly wouldn't stand by and watch you be in danger."
Then he turned to Black Owl and said, "And you, Xiao Chen, you were really something back then..."
Suddenly meeting Hei Xiao's clear, gentle gaze, which quickly averted, yet undeniably concealing its meaning, Ji Fengming almost stopped speaking abruptly, stammering several times before managing to string together, "Truly...truly stubborn..."
