The ancestral land of the Ji family.
A gorgeous and elegant woman in a purple dress with a red face and jade-like color quickly walked through the magnificent palace. Her feet were shining with mysterious light and smoke was emitted with every step. She was Ji Chan’er, the eldest daughter of the Ji family.
After a while, she stopped in front of a simple warm room and called respectfully:
“Grandfather, please forgive me for being late.”
Soon, a majestic and peaceful male voice came from the warm room:
“Chan’er, come in.”
As soon as the voice fell, the door of the warm room suddenly opened, revealing a black jade screen engraved with the words “Demons in Chaos”.
“Yes.”
Ji Chan’er looked a little stern and walked in around the screen.
The warm room was decorated in an antique style. On the large black wooden throne, Ji Yuntian, the head of the Ji family, sat upright, looking at a scroll on the table in a trance.
Seeing this, Ji Chan’er curiously glanced at the contents of the scroll, and then her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, vaguely guessing the purpose of her grandfather summoning her.
The many symbols that appeared in the scroll were all copied from the stone slab that was the third puzzle.
It seems that grandfather has been paying attention to the ancient ruins…
As his thoughts raced, Ji Chan’er had already retracted her gaze, stood in front of the table with lowered eyebrows, and bowed lightly:
“Greetings, Grandfather.”
“Chan’er, there is no need to be polite.”
Ji Yuntian put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Ji Chan’er who was in high spirits in front of him, and a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face:
“I didn’t expect that you have reached the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul so quickly, and you are only one step away from the late stage of the Nascent Soul. You have cultivated to this level at such a young age, and you are worthy of being the Phoenix Girl of my Ji family.”
Ji Chan’er’s expression remained unchanged, and she said modestly:
“Grandfather, you are too kind. If it weren’t for the family’s cultivation, how could my granddaughter have achieved what she has today.”
Her words were not entirely polite. Ever since she cultivated the Thousand Illusions Demon Body, she has begun to receive the focus and cultivation of the patriarch Ji Yuntian.
Not only did she get a lot more cultivation resources from the clan than before, but more importantly, the suppression from her second uncle’s family, whether overt or covert, also became much less, which was obviously all due to the efforts of the head of the family.
Ji Chan’er knew very well that although Ji Yuntian was her grandfather, he was also a cold-blooded giant of the magic path, who pursued extreme utilitarianism rather than true blood ties.
All the warmth and kindness were based on the benefits she could bring to the Ji family. When she lost her value, she would be immediately and mercilessly abandoned.
Hearing this, Ji Yuntian raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a little surprise, then nodded and smiled:
“It’s rare that Chan’er can think this way.”
Then, he leaned back in a relaxed posture, and asked another topic casually:
“Your previous judgment was correct. The sect leader really agreed to our proposal to take the two artifacts hidden by the Situ and Shen families back to the sect.”
“Only in this way can the Ji family have the opportunity to get the opportunity in the ruins in the shortest time.”
Speaking of this, he paused, and his tone suddenly became serious:
“Chan’er, the Qi Da who solved two puzzles in succession is your subordinate, right?”
Sure enough.
Ji Chan’er’s heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm and said sincerely:
“Yes, Qi Da is indeed my granddaughter’s best friend.”
“My granddaughter dares to guarantee with her life that this man is absolutely reliable and will definitely not do anything to harm my Ji family.”
Ji Yuntian took a deep look at her and said lightly:
“Since you believe in him, then everything is easy to say.”
“Now everyone in the Holy Sect knows that there is an outer disciple who is extremely lucky. He accidentally triggered the mysterious statue in the Mission Hall and received a huge reward afterwards.”
“But only we know that he solved the first puzzle. The same thing can be attributed to luck if it happens once, but if it happens twice in a row, it must be God’s will!”
Ji Chan’er pretended to be enlightened and spoke first:
“What grandpa suspects is…is that he has some connection with that ancient ruins?”
Qi Yuan is capable of solvingThe third puzzle!
After two verifications, even she had such an idea in her mind, not to mention her grandfather who was suspicious by nature.
If she still chose to play dumb at this time, it would be the most stupid behavior, and she would probably lose her grandfather’s trust immediately!
“That’s right!”
Ji Yuntian’s tone was steady and powerful, and his voice was filled with a certain meaning that could not be questioned:
“Now it seems that if we want to solve the third puzzle, Qi Da is the person who cannot be avoided.”
“Chan’er, since you trust him so much, I will give him a chance!”
“Go back and tell him that he only has one year.”
Ji Yuntian slowly raised his eyes and looked directly at Ji Chan’er in front of him, with a bit more gloom and Leng Mo: “Crack the third puzzle within one year. If he succeeds, our Ji family can give him a generous reward. If he fails, he will die!” “What?” Hearing this, Ji Chan’er’s delicate body trembled. She couldn’t help but raise her head, with a strong puzzlement in her beautiful eyes: “Grandfather, Qi Da said that he has some inspiration. As long as he is given more time, he will be able to solve the mystery on the stone slab. Why should we force him anymore?” At this moment , she no longer cared to hide, and said in a firm tone:
“If grandfather insists on doing this, I’m sorry your granddaughter can’t agree!”
“How dare you!”
Hearing this, Ji Yuntian’s pupils shrank suddenly, a trace of anger flashed across his eyes, and he said grimly:
“Chan’er, do you know what you are doing? You actually disobeyed me for an outsider, it’s simply unreasonable!”
“Have you forgotten that you are also a member of the Ji family!”
Faced with Sheng Ji Chan’er’s pretty face turned pale when she saw Ji Yuntian’s rage. However, she still looked at him fearlessly and repeated word by word: “Please forgive me for not being able to obey grandfather’s order!” After a strange silence, Ji Yuntian suddenly sighed heavily, and his aura dropped: “Chan’er, do you know why I am so anxious?” As he spoke, he lightly waved his sleeves, and a faint light suddenly flickered around him. Layers of restrictions were spread out, completely blocking the secrets in the warm room.
Seeing this, Ji Chan’er frowned and shook her head in confusion:
“Please tell me clearly, Grandfather.”
Ji Yuntian’s face was solemn, and a trace of uncontrollable worry flashed across his eyes. He said slowly:
“Don’t think that our Ji family is now dominating the Holy Sect and is in its heyday. It is faintly regarded as the head of the three major families. In fact, it is just an illusion.”
“In fact, the ancestor has not much time left. If it continues like this, at most ten years, he will die because of the exhaustion of his lifespan.”
“By then, the pattern of the Holy Sect will be immediately broken, and our Ji family will also face an unprecedented huge crisis!”
The ancestor is going to die? !
Hearing the news, Ji Chan’er was shocked and pale.
