When she heard that he was an outer disciple, Mrs. Ji’s face flashed with doubt, but she nodded slightly, as if to say hello, and said in a warm tone:
“Since you are Chan’er’s good friend, you don’t have to be restrained here, just treat it as your own home.”
After all, she was a Jindan realm cultivator, so she could naturally see through Qi Yuan’s “mid-stage foundation building” cultivation. In addition to his identity as an outer disciple, she naturally thought that the other party was one of her daughter’s subordinates.
Although she was surprised that her daughter brought a strange man into the house, it also reflected from the side that her daughter valued this subordinate, and she was happy to give her daughter a face.
In order to win people’s hearts, the superiors showed respect in their words and deeds, and even treated their subordinates as family members. This is a very common operation, and the effect is often very good.
Of course, as a subordinate, anyone who really believed it would be a big idiot.
“Aunt, you are too polite.”
Seeing the other party’s kind attitude, Qi Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little relieved.
It seems that the creature of mother-in-law is not as scary as the legend says. At least this Aunt Ji is quite easy to get along with…
Just when he was secretly thinking about what gift to give, Ji Chan’er seemed to understand something. She looked at her mother with a strange look and asked with a smile:
“Mom, where is my father?”
Mrs. Ji didn’t doubt him and answered casually:
“Where else can your father go? He is watching chess in the study. I don’t know what has gone wrong these days. He stares at a stalemate all day long, muttering to himself, and he is almost crazy.”
Ji Chan’er nodded, “Then I won’t bother him. I will take Qi Da to see him after he is done.”
Do you still want to bring him to your father?
Hearing this, Madam Ji inexplicably felt that something was wrong, but it was not easy to ask more questions, so she could only wave her hand and said in a complicated tone:
“You should arrange a place for your friend to stay first, and come to my courtyard in the evening. Mother has something to ask you.”
Just then, there was a commotion outside the mansion, and a servant hurried over to report:
“Madam, Young Master Yang is here. He said he wants to see the young lady.”
Hearing the name, Ji Chan’er frowned slightly and replied in a cold voice:
“No!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure swaggered in, and the servants of the Ji Mansion followed behind from a distance, as if they wanted to stop him but did not dare to.
The visitor was a young man in a brocade robe and a golden crown. He looked around the courtyard arrogantly, and finally stopped at Ji Chan’er, smiling and saying:
“Cousin, you didn’t inform me in advance when you came back, so I had to finish all the wine. When I heard the news, I rushed to visit my uncle’s house.”
Ji Chan’er glanced at the other party, with a bit of disgust in her eyes, and said indifferently:
“Ji Yang, this is my home. I can come and go as I please. I don’t need to report to you. , if you have nothing to do, please go back. ”
“Shut up.”
Mrs. Ji frowned slightly and rebuked in a deep voice:
“Yang’er is your cousin, how can you be so rude, it will be spread out and people will laugh at you.”
After that, she looked at Ji Yang expressionlessly and said calmly:
“My dear nephew, your cousin is used to being willful, I hope you will forgive her for her neglect.”
Ji Yang has a handsome face, but there is a bit of evil between his eyebrows, giving people a feeling of sinister and cruel.
“You are too kind, aunt. I am overjoyed to hear that my cousin has returned, so I have come here uninvited. I hope I will not disturb the peace of your house.”
While speaking, he completely ignored Qi Yuan who was standing beside him, and said directly to Ji Chaner:
“Cousin, Lord Zudi has been talking about you a lot recently. He has set you as a role model for the younger generations and even scolded several brothers and sisters under his uncles and aunts.”
“They have all repented now and are just about to thank you.”
Then, a hypocritical smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
“In another month, it will be the ancestor’s 80,000th birthday. As children of the Ji family, we have been cultivated by the family since childhood. It is time for us to show more filial piety to the ancestor.”
“If you are short of money, I, your younger brother, can help you a little. Don’t let the gifts you bring out be tooShabby, it only makes the ancestor unhappy. ”
Ji Chaner snorted coldly and said unhappily:
“Don’t think I don’t know what you are planning. How to celebrate the birthday of the ancestor is my own business. There is no need for you to be hypocritical here. If you have nothing to do, please go back.”
Ji Chaner knew in her heart that the other party came here purely for testing.
This cousin has regarded her as the biggest competitor since she was a child, and he has to compete with her in everything.
I broke through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul just after I turned 20, and I also cultivated the top-level magical physique in the “Illusion Yintian Demon Sutra”, the Thousand Illusion Heavenly Demon Body, which made me have a good impression in front of my grandfather.
If I can also make a big splash when celebrating the birthday of the ancestor, I am afraid that my second uncle as the prince will feel threatened.
After all, neither the Holy Sect nor the Ji family has a clear stipulation that women cannot be clan leaders. Even the current leader of the Holy Sect is the previous saint.
After defeating the saint son of the same generation, the female leader ascended to the position of the leader of the Holy Sect, which shocked the entire cultivation world at that time.
Seeing Ji Chan’er’s confident look, Ji Yang’s expression froze, and he said with a fake smile:
“Okay, then I won’t say much, brother, wait and see how my cousin will make a splash at the birthday banquet.”
After that, he bowed to Madam Ji:
“Aunt, since uncle is still busy, I won’t bother you. Goodbye! ”
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
After watching this family drama full of hidden plots, Qi Yuan, as a spectator, curled his lips with some desire.
Is this the intrigue between big families? It’s really interesting. It’s a pity that I’m an orphan in this life, and I watched so many palace fighting TV dramas in my previous life in vain…
Just when Qi Yuan was daydreaming, Ji Chan’er had sent her mother away, and took him and said:
“Let’s go, I’ll take you for a walk outside, and by the way, meet the managers of the ancestral land.”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan immediately cheered up and nodded and said:
“That’s great, then I’ll trouble Fairy Ji. ”
He was just looking for an opportunity to go out and look for clues to the fragments of the fairy weapon, and Ji Yaonu took the initiative to invite him to go out for a walk. It was so thoughtful!
Soon after, Qi Yuan suddenly pointed in a direction with an excited look and said:
“Fairy Ji, I’m very interested in that place, can you take me there to have a look?”
“Huh?”
Hearing this, Ji Chan’er’s face changed slightly, she looked at him with a strange expression, and said seriously:
“I warn you, that is where the treasure house of our Ji family is located, and there are elders of the Hedao realm stationed there all year round. You must not think about the treasure house, otherwise you will die very ugly.”
This guy is very evil and daring. If I don’t warn him seriously, something big might happen!
