Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

In fact, when he heard about the Ji family's exercises, Ji Chen already had some guesses about it.It's just that this guess is too cruel for both him and Ji Xing'er.

So Ji Chen couldn't believe it.

At least until the old man took the initiative to say something, he was absolutely unwilling to believe such a thing.

But now, the last fluke fantasy was cruelly shattered. Ji Chen looked at the old man dully. After a long time, he opened his mouth and murmured: "Xing'er is born with spiritual blood, such a good talent , shouldn't the Ji family train her as an heir? Why..."

"Yes, if she is someone else's child, then she is indeed the best choice for heir," the old man nodded, affirming Ji Chen's statement.But when the topic changed, he continued: "But have you ever thought that the Patriarch of the Ji family didn't intend to have an heir at all? She wants to live forever and her rule will never end. Since she doesn't end , then why do you want someone else to inherit it? The child with good talent, good cultivation and good health is all the materials she prepared for herself. Speaking of Ji Xing'er, it's a bit ridiculous. When this child was born, I served the master at Ji's house I still remember, that child should be born with devil blood."

Speaking of which, he himself felt a little strange.Touching his chin, he muttered to himself and said: "Speaking of which, can natural blood evolve into natural blood? This is a bit strange, but whether it is natural blood or natural blood, this They are things that are rare to see in tens of millions of years. Maybe they can really change, but we are ignorant and ignorant..."

Listening to what he said, Ji Chen gritted his teeth hard.

Spiritual blood is spiritual blood, and devil blood is devil blood. Of course, it is impossible to change at will.Ji Xing'er's change was entirely because of him, but judging by the old man's reaction, Ji's family might not know it yet.

The oppressive feeling in his chest was getting heavier and heavier, and Ji Chen tried his best to control himself, so as not to let the anger that was about to gushes out madly overwhelm his reason.

The fingers clenched tightly, and the clenched hands hurt.

He looked at the old man, remained silent for a long time, and finally continued to ask: "So... that rumor is true. Ji's family thought that Ji Xing'er was a waste and a burden, so they threw her away..."

"That's not true," the old man waved his hand.

There was finally a faint light in Ji Chen's eyes.

But before the light came on, he heard the old man continue to say: "Of course the Ji family didn't throw her away, after all, it is quite rare to be born with devil blood. Thinking that it might be useful, I raised her at home for a while When she was three or four years old, she was sent to a branch of Ji's house."

Ji Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.

He thought of the pigsty that almost became his childhood nightmare.

Clenching his teeth, Ji Chen asked slowly: "Is the place you mentioned a place to absorb the spiritual energy in the blood? Many children were imprisoned, and their blood was drawn out with a strange magic weapon... ..."

"Yeah, it's that place," the old man replied without hesitation, and after he finished speaking, he was a little surprised: "You are quite powerful, aren't you? Those pigpens are the biggest secret of the Ji family. The servants under me , are not qualified to know that place exists. You kid has nothing to do with Ji's family, how do you know that place?"

Ji Chen didn't answer.

The old man stared at him for a while, shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said: "Forget it, everyone has their own secrets. Only by not knowing other people's secrets can you live for a long time. I don't have many secrets from others. Curious, if you don’t want to say it, don’t tell me, I want to live a few more years.”

Ji Chen nodded.

It couldn't be better.

At first, he thought it was Ji's family who had thrown Ji Xing'er away, but Ji Xing'er was out of luck and was taken to the pigsty.

But if Ji's family planned to send her there from the beginning...

"Then why did Ji Xing'er still have the token of the Ji family on her body when she was in the pigsty?"

"That's what left her with the nanny who raised her," the old man said with a smile, "I happen to know about it, because the nanny has a good relationship with me. She told me that the child was wearing the badge." , Maybe when she dies, for the sake of this token, she can leave a whole body for her, and don't feed it to those monsters. But at that time, I told her that this is unnecessary and unnecessary, because it must be It won't work. But if she doesn't listen, then I can only let her go."

Ji Chen's expression turned extremely ugly.

The old man was indeed right, the token was useless, and Ji Xing'er was almost fed a magical beast along with him.

And if there is any use for this token, I'm afraid it will make him, an idiot, look in the wrong direction and push his most important sister back into the pit of fire.

The resentment in my heart is getting heavier and heavier.

Ji Chen finally took a deep breath, and he said, "Did you lie to me just now?"

"What can I lie to you?" The old man waved his hand: "Ji Xing'er can live until now because the Patriarch of the Ji family intends to keep her for seizing the house. But in the end, it depends on whether she seizes the house or how to use it." Whether the cultivation method has been found, and whether the Patriarch's body can resist it. If he really can't hold on, and he can't wait for the cultivation method, then he will exchange the lifespan of his organs and her blood with her. In short, the child will die soon. It doesn't exist anymore, so these things about her are just a story to talk about, why do you need to tell lies?"

What the old man said was casual and simple, and it was because of this that Ji Chen was more sure that he was not lying.

The light in his eyes was extremely dark, Ji Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Xing'er will not die."

After leaving such a sentence, he didn't say anything more.

Just silently, he came to the unconscious Gu Nianqing, picked him up, turned around and left the old man's yard.

It was already a day later when Gu Nianqing woke up again.Ji Chen had been sitting beside her, the moment she opened her eyes, seeing her restored eyes, Ji Chen immediately showed a smile full of sadness and joy.

Stretching out his hand to touch Gu Nianqing's head, Ji Chen said, "Nianqing, can you hear me?"

Gu Nianqing was stunned for a moment, she didn't nod, but she burst into tears.

Ji Chen knew that this was what she heard.

The smile on his face became more gentle and bitter, Ji Chen said: "Nianqing, brother has something very important to deal with. You wait for me at home, I'll go and come back quickly, don't run around, okay?" OK?"
