Junior sister took first place again
Chapter 373 Ji Family History
At the Ji Mansion, Ji Tang was lying on a soft bed. Her face was pale and her brows were furrowed, as if she was in a nightmare.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she could feel the fear and pain of being imprisoned.
Ji Shu stood by the bed, his eyes filled with worry and guilt. He gently held Ji Tang's hand and put it under the quilt, whispering, "Don't worry, Tang'er, everything is over, you are safe."
Ji Tang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing Ji Shu's figure, her voice was weak and hoarse: "Grandpa, I . . . . . "
She wanted to say something, but suddenly couldn't remember what it was. Ji Tang covered his head and frowned fiercely.
Ji Shu gently patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "Tang'er, don't talk, take a good rest first. You have returned to the family, it is safe here."
Ji Tang nodded, a dark glint in her eyes. She had to recover as soon as possible so she could go out and do what she wanted to do.
While Ji Tang was recuperating, Ji Shu began to investigate the truth behind Ji Tang's abduction.
He knew that there must be a deeper secret behind this incident, so he gathered the elites of the family and began a secret investigation.
"Master, we've found some clues," a family spy reported in a low voice. "Miss Tang was abducted, and it seems that the two demons, Yuan Sui and Qiu Mi, are involved."
Ji Shu frowned. He remembered the subordinates of King Fufeng and King Qingxiao.
Meanwhile, Ji Tang gradually recovered under the careful care of her family. She began to practice the family's secret techniques, hoping to regain her strength as soon as possible.
During the training process, Ji Tang always had a question in her mind: Why did the demons secretly kidnap her?
Ji Tang knew very well that she had lost a part of her memory, and she must recover as soon as possible and go out to regain her memory.
At the same time, once he regains his strength, Ji Tang will personally go to find Xue Wuying and take on the responsibility of being the most outstanding disciple of the Ji family's generation.
As time went by, Ji Tang's strength gradually recovered. She knew that she was about to embark on a dangerous road, but there was a firm light in her eyes, without any fear.
"Master, I want to see Xue Wuying." Ji Tang stood in front of Ji Shu with a firm voice.
When Ji Shu heard Ji Tang's words, his brows furrowed, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Xue Wuying is not only Ji's superior, but also a ruthless and deep-minded person.
Ji Tang's trip to find Xue Wuying was undoubtedly fraught with danger.
"Tang'er, come with me." Ji Shu was silent for a moment, finally turned around and spoke, walking towards the study.
In the quiet study, Ji Shu and Ji Tang sat opposite each other. Ji Shu's face was full of seriousness. He knew that what he was going to tell Ji Tang next would completely change her opinion of Xue Wuying.
"Tang'er, before you decide to go find the young master, there is one thing you must know." Ji Shu's voice was low, and his eyes were fixed on Ji Tang.
A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Tang's eyes. She could feel the seriousness in her grandfather's tone, which made her heart involuntarily rise.
"He is not just the nominal superior of the Ji and Wei families. His identity is far more complicated than we imagined."
Ji Shu paused, as if searching for the right words. "Actually, his last name isn't Xue. Wuying is his given name. He possesses the bloodline of the first Human Emperor, Ji, and is a descendant of the Human Emperor."
Ji Tang's heart was in turmoil. No matter how domineering she was, she was well aware of her family's history.
The original four major families in Dongzhou have a long history and have been passed down for thousands of years. Their roots can be traced back to the era of the Human Emperor Ji.
In that era, these four families were the most loyal subjects of the Ji family and made great contributions to the prosperity and strength of the Ji family.
"Master, is this true?" Ji Tang's voice trembled slightly. This news was too shocking for her and almost overturned her understanding of family history.
Ji Shu nodded, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Yes, this is true. This is also the reason why the young master can occupy a place among various forces. His identity and his power are not something we can easily resist."
Ji Tang was silent. She knew what this news meant. Xue Wuying's identity made him more than just a simple enemy. Behind him was the inheritance and power of the entire Human Emperor bloodline.
"Tang'er, I know you want to regain your memory and uncover the secrets of the young master. But now that you know his identity, you must reconsider your actions." There was a hint of warning in Ji Shu's voice.
Ji Shu paused, his eyes filled with a complex emotion as he continued, "Our ancestors were once ministers of the Ji clan. This is our family's deepest secret. But as time passed, the power of the Human Emperor gradually weakened, until the last Human Emperor fell, and the Ji clan's bloodline was scattered far and wide."
Ji Tang's heart was filled with complicated emotions. This news had a huge impact on her actions.
Xue Wuying is not only her enemy, but also the descendant of her family's former master.
"Then what should I do?" A trace of confusion flashed in Ji Tang's eyes. She didn't know how to face this fact.
Ji Shu's eyes revealed deep wisdom. He knew Ji Tang's character and understood her thoughts.
He told Ji Tang about Xue Wuying's identity not to ask her to resist or betray, but to hope that she would be more cautious and not offend a person with such a deep background out of ignorance.
"Tang'er, the identity of the young master is a fact that our Ji family must respect."
Ji Shu's voice was tinged with seriousness. "Although the Ji family has a long history, we must never do anything that harms the Ji family's bloodline. When the Ji Dynasty existed, our ancestors swore an oath. I just hope that when you act, you can be more careful and avoid recklessness that will backfire."
Ji Tang nodded. She understood her grandfather's painstaking efforts. The honor of the Ji family and her own safety were the most important.
"Master, I understand. I will not let the family be implicated because of my actions."
Ji Tang's voice was firm and powerful, and her eyes flashed with determination. "I will be careful and only ask him some questions. I will not be rude to the young master again."
Ji Shu nodded with satisfaction. He knew that Ji Tang had always been a smart and rational child.
She has grown up and has enough courage and wisdom to face the challenges of the future. She also knows how to maintain her position and the safety of her family in complex situations.
"Tang'er, go and get ready. The family will always be your strongest backing." Ji Shu's voice was filled with warmth. "No matter what difficulties you encounter, don't forget that you have the support of the entire family behind you."
A warm feeling surged in Ji Tang's heart. She bowed slightly, then turned and left the study, embarking on a journey to find her memories.
At the same time, Ji Shu also strengthened his family's defenses. If Xue Wuying's identity became known to more people, it might cause more unrest. He had to ensure the safety of his family while also providing the necessary support for Ji Tang.
After Ji Tang left the study, Ji Shu stayed alone in the room. His eyes fell on the courtyard outside the window. The trees swayed gently in the breeze, but his heart was surging.
Now the situation is becoming more and more complicated, and Tang'er is about to embark on a journey full of unknowns and dangers, but he also understands that some things must be faced.
Ji Shu returned to her desk, picked up a pen, and began to write a letter that would be sent to all branches of the family, alerting them to the recent changes in the situation.
He must ensure that everyone in the family understands the current changes and responds appropriately.
In Ji Tang's room, she was sitting quietly beside the bed, holding a crystal clear jade pendant in her hand, which was the amulet she had worn since she was a child.
She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth coming from the jade pendant, which made her feel at ease. She knew that this jade pendant was a family heirloom, representing the family's blessing and protection.
Ji Tang took a deep breath. She knew she couldn't delay any longer. She had to recover her strength as soon as possible and go see Xue Wuying.
She stood up, walked out of the room, and came to the family's practice room. There, she began the arduous practice. Her body gradually became stronger and her spirit became more determined.
As time went by, Ji Tang's strength gradually recovered, and there was a firm light in her eyes, ready to face anything from the outside world at any time.
In the Wubianfengyue Tower in Xizhou, Xue Wuying leaned on the couch, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, and the amber wine sparkled with an alluring light under the light.
There was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, as if the whole world was under his control.
Inside the room, musicians played melodious music, dancers danced to the melody, and Xue Wuying was immersed in this decadent atmosphere.
His life seemed to have nothing to do with the disputes and dangers of the outside world. He only cared about his own happiness and the game of power.
However, he didn't know that Ji Shu had already revealed his true identity to Ji Tang. This news, like a seed, once germinated, will completely change his life.
Ji Tang's actions may bring him unprecedented challenges.
Xue Wuying had always believed himself to be invincible. As a descendant of the Human Emperor Ji, he possessed immense power at a young age, which allowed him to occupy a place in the world of cultivation even though he lived in the shadows.
He used his wisdom and strength to continuously expand his influence and enjoyed the pleasure brought by power, so much so that he somewhat neglected the power of those under him.
The Ji family has a long history. Although they were vassals of the Ji family during the Ji family's time, over time they have developed into a powerful family with their own power and secrets.
There has been no human emperor in the world for thousands of years. How can Ji Tang tolerate this master who suddenly appears?
They didn't even dare to reveal their identities openly, and even secretly supported the demons.
Ji Tang did not want her family to be inferior forever, nor could she swallow the humiliation that Xue Wuying had caused her. Since she could not take action against the Ji family's people, she must find a partner who could kill Xue Wuying.
There was no trace of Ning Jiasheng in the Cangwu Secret Realm, so Xue Wuying moved directly into the Wubian Fengyue Tower in Qiran City. His life was still luxurious and indulgent, and he was drunken and dreaming all day long.
However, he is unaware that Ji Tang has already embarked on a journey to Xizhou, ostensibly to reconcile with him, but in fact, to hide a deeper purpose.
Ji Tang was wearing an exquisite long dress. She looked calm and elegant on the outside, but her heart was full of complicated emotions.
She knew that this meeting with Xue Wuying was not only for the future of the family, but also for her personal dignity and hatred.
She had to be careful and not let Xue Wuying see her true intentions.
In the luxurious room of Wubian Fengyue Tower, Ji Tang was led into Xue Wuying's private space. Inside the room, Xue Wuying was reclining on a soft couch, holding a glass of fine wine in his hand, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Miss Tang, your arrival is really unexpected." There was a hint of teasing in Xue Wuying's voice. He didn't seem surprised by Ji Tang's visit.
Ji Tang smiled slightly, her attitude respectful and humble: "Master Xue, I came here this time hoping to reconcile with you. Let the past be the past."
A gleam flashed in Xue Wuying's eyes, as if he was assessing Ji Tang's true intentions. He slowly sat up straight and put down the wine glass in his hand. "Miss Tang, you are very interesting. But I am curious, what made you change your mind?"
Ji Tang's heart tightened. She had to appear sincere enough to convince Xue Wuying of her sincerity. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "Master Xue, the head of the family has spoken to me, and I realize that confronting you will do the Ji family no good."
A smile appeared on Xue Wuying's lips, and he seemed satisfied with Ji Tang's answer.
He stood up, walked to Ji Tang, reached out his hand and gently lifted her chin: "Miss Tang, your words are very touching. But I must warn you, don't challenge my patience again. What happened in the past is written off."
Disgust flashed through Ji Tang's heart, but her face remained calm. She knew that this was a dangerous game, and she had to remain calm and not let Xue Wuying notice her emotions.
"Mr. Xue, I have absolutely no such intention. I sincerely hope to reconcile with you." Ji Tang's voice was firm and sincere.
Xue Wuying stared intently at Ji Tang's clear eyes, as if he wanted to see through them to the deepest secrets in her heart, not letting go of even the slightest trace of deception. Time passed by minute by minute, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.
Finally, Xue Wuying seemed to have discovered something convincing in Ji Tang's eyes. He slowly loosened his hand that was tightly pinching Ji Tang's chin and took a small step back.
His voice was low and magnetic, and with a hint of imperceptible relief, he said, "Okay, Miss Tang, in that case, I choose to believe everything you say. Let those unpleasant pasts go with the wind. From this moment on, we have put aside our past grudges."
Hearing this, Ji Tang's heart finally settled down a little. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally successfully taken the crucial first step.
However, she knew very well that the current situation was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go.
This battle with Xue Wuying was like a thrilling game of chess, requiring careful consideration and meticulous planning for every move. Therefore, she could not afford to be lax or careless, and must remain vigilant at all times.
At this moment, Xue Wuying's mouth corners suddenly lifted slightly, revealing a half-smile, and he said softly, "Because of some misunderstandings earlier, I didn't realize until now that Miss Tang is also a beautiful lady."
After saying that, his deep eyes fell on Ji Tang again, and he looked him up and down wantonly.
