Ji Qing Feng said coldly, “Every family has its rules, every clan has its regulations. My father was fair and strict, and I am naturally the same. Anyone who makes a mistake, I handle them all the same, and it doesn’t matter if they’re an outside nephew or even my own son!”
“Whether he has made a mistake or not is already for the family head to deal with. It’s not your turn!”
Ji Yun Yue was furious. In their line, there were fifteen brothers and seven sisters, a total of twenty-two of the ‘Yun’ generation.
Apart from those who have died in battle or died young, there are now only twelve left, but they have split into two factions that do not interact with each other.
The reason was that many years ago, their father doted on the ninth, Ji Tian Chao, causing some brothers and sisters to harbor jealousy secretly, leading to rifts between their children.
When their father passed away, these rifts were fully exposed, and they argued and cut off contact with each other.
This is the inevitable hidden wound in the inheritance of major families, countless and unresolved.
“Hmph!”
Ji Qing Feng sneered with disdain in his eyes.
More and more people gathered around, with Ji Yun Yue and Ji Qingyuan taking the lead, clearly divided into two factions.
At the same time, the news here reached a building at the top of Sacred Mountain.
On the beautifully scenic rear mountain, a small pastoral courtyard appeared ahead.
The figure of Ji Yun Ge grew increasingly faint, drifting around here.
He looked at the fields and wells around him, gazing at the vegetable garden on the hill with a bit of sorrow and distress in his eyes.
He paused slightly, saying to Ji Tian Chao and the others, “You all stay behind. For these last moments, let Xiao Mu keep me company.”
Ji Tian Chao and the others looked sorrowful, watching his nearly transparent body, fighting back tears.
“Third brother, I won’t let any of those who ganged up on you go!” Ji Tian Chao gritted his teeth.
Ji Yun Ge gave a faint smile, took his wife’s hand, and said, “Just remember what you promised me, the fate of the Ji family has come. It will surely rise in the future!”
With that, he gave his wife a gentle smile, said no more, and took her hand, accompanying her on this grassy path.
“Dad…”
Behind him, Ji Tian Chao, his son, daughter-in-law, and others were watching the two aging figures walk away, their eyes filled with sadness.
Ji Yunqing clenched his teeth slightly and glanced back in the distance, hatred flickering in his eyes:
“Third brother is about to pass away, and those guys can’t even come and take one last look?!”
The fourth brother remained silent. He knew whom his younger brother was referring to; their brotherly bond had already crumbled when their parents died.
Upon hearing Ji Yunqing’s words, Ji Tian Chao’s body trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists tightly but said nothing.
They stood quietly outside the small courtyard for a long time until they heard Ji Ximu’s wails from inside, and all their bodies shook as tears fell.
They knew that the War God of the Ji family, Ji Yun Ge, had left them forever.
“Third brother!!”
Ji Tian Chao roared to the sky like a wounded beast.
The fourth brother and Ji Yunqing just clenched their fists, their shoulders trembling slightly, restraining their emotions.
Meanwhile, Ji Yun Ge’s children and grandchildren were crying out loud, sobbing and choking.
At that moment, a figure sped from a distance, Ji Qingmeng, Ji Yunqing’s daughter.
“Dad.”
Ji Qingmeng rushed over. Upon seeing everyone’s grief-stricken appearance, her expression changed slightly. Not seeing Ji Yun Ge, she immediately realized what had happened.
Ji Yunqing did not respond at first but, after Ji Qingmeng called again, he restrained his emotions and turned to ask, “What is it?”
“That young man defeated Ji Yufen at the foot of the mountain. Now Ji Qingyuan and Yunyue are over there, and news from the Council Hall came that the family head has agreed to let that child join the Ji family, but they must test his Holy Bone to decide whether he will be a legitimate or illegitimate descendant,” Ji Qingmeng said quickly and calmly.
Experience tales at empire
Upon hearing this, several of Ji Yun Ge’s children and grandchildren were stunned.
They all held great affection and gratitude for the one who had returned their father’s spirit, appreciating him deeply.
The fact that he could defeat Ji Yufen showed that what their father had said before was not an exaggeration.
“Ji Qingyuan!”
Ji Tian Chao suddenly turned his head, staring at Ji Qingmeng like a wild beast, his eyes filled with sorrow and suppressed anger. Although not directed at Ji Qingmeng, his gaze made her heart contract.
“The last wish of the Third Brother, I want to see what they intend to do!”
Ji Tian Chao clenched his fist and suddenly stepped forward, disappearing in an instant.
Worried about the ninth brother’s impulsiveness, Ji Yunqing and the others changed their expressions and quickly followed.
On the mountainside.
Ji Yun Yue and Ji Qing Feng were arguing heatedly about family laws and regulations. Ji Qingyuan, on the other hand, did not speak, standing silently like a mountain, making it difficult for those around to breathe.
Boom!
Suddenly, Ji Qingyuan’s gaze shifted, and immediately he saw the ground in the center of the venue suddenly cave in.
A figure seemed to have torn through space, appearing quickly and landing in the center.
His feet didn’t touch the ground, but the bricks and tiles still cracked!
“Heavenly Dynasty War God!”
Recognizing the figure, the people outside the venue were taken aback, their expressions shifting as they hurriedly bowed down.
This War God was born into the direct line of the family, commanding even greater awe, pursuit, and affection.
“Uncle Nine!”
Ji Qing Feng, engaged in the debate, recognized the newcomer, his face changed, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
Although he had been influenced by his elders, who knew of the grandfather’s partiality towards this uncle and felt dissatisfied with him, the presence of the other party always gave him a sense of trepidation.
This pressure was just too strong!
“Such a lively event!”
Ji Tian Chao’s eyes were icy, scanning the entire scene. He quickly noticed Li Hao inside the Guest Reception Hall.
