NovelEnglishAfter Ji Fengyan said that, even the composed Ji Mubai could not keep his cool.
Ji Qiu’s face had become even most ghastly. “Don’t need!”
Ji Fengyan raised her eyebrows slightly.
“Don’t need anymore?”
Ji Qiu sucked in a breath and suppressed the urge to spit blood. “I have misunderstood you.”
Ji Fengyan smiled and said, “What did Eldest Uncle misunderstand? If you don’t explain it clearly, I won’t be able to understand.”
Ji Qiu stared expressionlessly at Ji Fengyan and almost had to squeeze out the words through his teeth.
“The defensive amulet is yours.”
Ji Fengyan laughed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe auctioneer who had witnessed everything had finally understood what had happened, except that he lowered his head at the side tactfully, as if he knew nothing.
Regardless of how tactful the auctioneer was, Ji Qiu was feeling utterly regretful now.
If he had known earlier that Ji Fengyan still had more defensive amulets, he would not have invited the auctioneer over to witness this disgraceful scene!
“Someone come and send the auctioneer out,” Ji Qiu said with his deep voice.
The auctioneer left the study room, well-behaved.
Ji Fengyan did not mind Ji Qiu’s attempt to salvage the situation. The Sacred Dragon Auction House had all along belonged to the royal family, even if Ji Qiu was the internally appointed future leader of the family clan, he was still unqualified to meddle with the people from the Sacred Dragon Auction House. That day, regardless of whether he was willing, that auctioneer was bound to leak out what he had seen to other people.
Ji Qiu was definitely going to lose face!
Ji Qiu could naturally also think about what Ji Fengyan had thought of and his face was so frighteningly unpleasant.
After Ji Fengyan admired the distressed look on Ji Qiu’s face, she then said satisfied, “Eldest Uncle is already quite old so I can also understand if your memory has degraded. Don’t worry. I won’t take it to heart.”
Ji Fengyan’s words made things worse.
She had almost made Ji Qiu spit out blood in anger!
“Since you have understood, then may I trouble Eldest Uncle to return the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed to me?” Ji Fengyan smiled and asked.
Ji Qiu took a deep breath and suppressed his impulse to choke Ji Fengyan as he tried to recover his usual calm composure and wiseness. In a short while, his face had already returned to normal and he said to Ji Fengyan, “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
The smile on Ji Fengyan’s face faded after hearing that.
Ji Qiu continued, “You also know that Eldest Uncle is already quite old so my memory would frequently play tricks on me. Previously, I thought that the defensive amulet was from Ji family so I naturally considered the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed as Ji family’s belongings. The Grand Tutor had punished Lei family’s Lei Yuanxu because of you and lost a limb. Lei family had always had a close relationship with the Ji family, and you even had a marriage contract with Lei family’s Lei Min in the past. Yesterday while you were unconscious, Lei family’s Lei Qin came by and asked us to lend her the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed to save Lei Yuanxu…”
As Ji Qiu said that, he observed Ji Fengyan’s reaction.
“Lei family has quite a high status in the capital city, we also considered Lei Yuanxu one of the outstanding ones among the young generation of Lei family. If he had become disabled because of you, Lei family would definitely not let you off, so I had discussed with Ji He for some time and decided to agree to Lei Qin’s request and send the Tree of the Flowing Bloodshed to the Lei family in order to dispel the hatred between the Lei family and you.”
After he said that, Ji Qiu even pretended to say earnestly, “Fengyan, what we have done is purely for your own good.”
Ji Fengyan had completely lost her cool…
