The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

Ji Cheng suddenly stood up and said, "Dad, how could you do this? If you marry Yun Yao into the Qin family, the Jiang family will definitely break ties with us, and we will live under the influence of the Qin family for the rest of our lives."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wu sighed, closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and then slowly spoke:

"Do you think I don't know these things? I had no other choice. If I didn't do this, the Ji family would be gone."

Upon hearing this, Ji Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned serious: "Dad, what do you mean?"

Ji Wu opened his eyes, looked at him, and said very seriously, "Qin Qi has broken through to the half-step Martial Emperor level."

Upon hearing this, Ji Cheng's mind went completely blank. He staggered back two steps before plopping down in a chair.

Qin Qi, that old bastard, actually broke through to the half-step Martial Emperor level.

It's important to know that countless martial gods have tried to enter the realm of the Martial Emperor over the years, but without exception, they have all failed.

But Qin Qi actually succeeded. You have to know that breaking through to the half-step Martial Emperor is equivalent to entering the gate of the Martial Emperor realm, and officially becoming a Martial Emperor is only a matter of time.

After what seemed like an eternity, Ji Cheng finally came to his senses and said with a bitter expression, "Dad, you did the right thing."

Ji Wu nodded and said, "Alright, things have already come to this, so don't be unwilling. Let me tell you, the Qin family now possesses great fortune. Let me tell you."

Then he told us everything about Qin Qi breaking through to the half-step Martial Emperor level, Qin Yu inexplicably possessing the power of a Martial God when facing attacks, and Qin Yan possessing the Supreme Body.

After hearing this, Ji Cheng's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

After a long while, he exclaimed in disbelief, "My God, my God, the Qin family is defying the heavens!"

Ji Wu said, "So, don't overthink it. The destiny of this life may lie with the Qin family, so there's nothing wrong with marrying into their family."

Ji Cheng nodded with lingering fear: "Yes, who knows, we might also be able to get some of the great fortune and bring our Ji family to a higher level."

Then he asked, "What about the Jiang family?"

Ji Wu sighed: "In a few more days, the Jiang family will cease to exist."

Ji Cheng understood in an instant. He sighed and shook his head. The Jiang family was doomed.

Just as Ji Wu was about to say something more, the butler's voice came from outside the study: "Old Master, Master, Jiang Zhewu has arrived."

Ji Wu and his son exchanged a glance, neither of them understanding why Jiang Zhe had come at this time.

However, neither of them showed anything on their faces. Ji Wu took a deep breath, his expression calm, and said, "Please come in."

The study door opened, and Jiang Zhe walked in. Jiang Zhe was in very bad condition. He was covered in wounds, and his right arm was wrapped up tightly, as if it were broken.

Jiang Zhe approached Ji Wu, his face grim, and questioned, "Ji Wu, why didn't you help me deal with that old bastard Qin Qi today?"

Ji Wu's expression remained unchanged, and he said helplessly, "I want to too, but that girl Yun Yao is deeply in love with Qin Yan. She said that if I make a move, she will die in front of me. What can I do? But don't worry, I have already locked her up."

Jiang Zhe was momentarily speechless. He paused for a moment, then said bitterly, "What a pity. If you had made a move today, we could have definitely wiped out that old bastard Qin Qi."

Ji Wu glanced at Jiang Zhe, his eyes darting around, and then said, "Jiang Zhe, I have some bad news for you. Qin Qi has already touched the threshold of becoming a Martial Emperor."

"What?" Panic flashed in Jiang Zhe's eyes and heart, his voice trembling slightly: "You, you said, that old bastard Qin Qi succeeded?"

Jiang Wu nodded: "Yes, so Jiang Zhe, what do you think we should do?"

Jiang Zhe's mind was in complete chaos; he was no longer capable of thinking.

Seeing this, Ji Wu sighed and said, "Old Jiang, go back first, calm down, and we'll discuss this matter in detail later."

"To be honest, I don't want to see Qin Qi successfully take that step either. Otherwise, given the Qin family's vengeful nature, and considering what we've done over the years, they would definitely annex both of our families."

Jiang Zhe didn't seem to understand, but said with an annoyed look, "I know, I'll go back first and come find you again tomorrow."

After saying that, Jiang Zhe left in a hurry.

After Jiang Zhe left, Ji Cheng looked at him with some confusion: "Dad, why did you say all that to him? Wouldn't it have been better to just kick him out?"

Ji Wu sneered: "If I tell him outright that we want to form a marriage alliance with the Qin family, Jiang Zhe will definitely move his Jiang family members. Then it will be too difficult to find them and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"I did this to keep him calm so I could eliminate him completely."

As he spoke, Ji Wu took out his specially made phone and called Qin Qi.

The call connected quickly, and Ji Wu's face broke into a bright smile, completely devoid of the coldness he had displayed moments before.

"Hey, in-law, I have something to tell you. Jiang Zhe just came to see me..."
