Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 114 Brother Canghai, have a bigger vision.

Before long, Xu Tianyi was carried by Gu Qinghan to sit down in the hall.

The hall would normally be full of people, but to prevent Ji Canghai from having any ideological problems and getting everyone killed, only Xu Tianyi, Gu Qinghan, Ji Yingying, and a few others were present.

Soon, Ji Canghai walked in with a nervous heart.

He, who is usually quite casual, became reserved at this moment.

As soon as they entered, they saw Xu Tianyi slumped in a chair, and Gu Qinghan was helping him and feeding him tea.

He was somewhat surprised, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart.

He reflected on his impulsive behavior over the past two days, so he didn't rush to apologize.

Meanwhile, they also began to inquire about the relationship between Xu Tianyi and Ji Yingying in the past two days.

Only then did he realize Xu Tianyi's identity.

Having traveled the martial world for over a decade, he was a chivalrous figure who hated evil and was naturally well aware of the injustices of the court and the suffering of the people.

The city is now peaceful and serene. Although there are not many people, they all praise Xu Tianyi and the Valley God Sect for their governance.

Ji Canghai originally thought that Xu Tianyi might be a spoiled brat who had coerced, bribed, and deceived his sister into protecting him.

He regretted driving his sister into his arms.

But now he is actually a good official who stabilizes the region. At such a young age, he has already reached the level of a grandmaster. He is truly a young and promising genius, and is completely worthy of his younger sister.

However, he still had some reservations about Xu Tianyi's status as the imperial son-in-law. After all, the imperial son-in-law was considered to be marrying into the family, and his sister was only his concubine, so their statuses were very different. It would have been better if he were a prince.

After thinking it over, I decided to go and visit them to find out more.

Seeing the paralyzed Xu Tianyi, he felt somewhat ashamed: "Master Xu, I have offended you greatly before. I originally wanted to bring some gifts to apologize, but I am now all alone. I will definitely make amends after I return to the Ji family..."

Seeing him bow his head and clasp his hands in a fist salute, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ji Yingying disliked him, she was also afraid of him.

Xu Tianyi didn't like to put on airs and spoke directly.

"Ji Canghai is the hope of the Ji family in Yanzhou, while Yingying is the jinx of the Ji family."

"Have you come here to bring back the jinx of the Ji family to curry favor with them, or to kill us and present us as a gift to King Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Canghai's heart skipped a beat: "I had absolutely no such intention! I only wanted to find Xiao Ying'er..."

Xu Tianyi chuckled: "Yingying is very happy with me now, you can leave now..."

Ji Canghai looked even more anxious. He was not good with words, but he could tell that Yingying, who was next to Xu Tianyi, was indeed very close to him.

But this wasn't the outcome he wanted. He wanted to reunite with Yingying and her brother, and he wanted to take care of and protect his sister...

But he didn't know how to bring it up. Now that they had asked him to leave, he felt embarrassed to stay.

"I... Yingying and I have some misunderstandings. May I talk to her alone?"

Xu Tianyi refused.

"Say what you have to say here."

Ji Yingying then spoke up: "I don't want to hear it. I don't have a brother like that. Please leave..."

"Little Ying'er..."

"Alright! Let me speak then..."

Xu Tianyi interrupted the two of them.

The two fell silent immediately. Ji Yingying turned her head away, while Ji Canghai looked at her expectantly.

Xu Tianyi didn't delay any longer and spoke directly.

“Your father should have told you about Yingying, so I’ll just repeat it here…”

Xu Tianyi briefly recounted Ji Canghai's background, then Ji Yingying's birth, then Wuchen's arrival, and finally Yingying's experiences and Ji Canghai's departure from home.

After the two finished telling their story, Ji Canghai was sometimes surprised, sometimes angry, and sometimes regretful.

After hearing Ji Canghai's story, Ji Yingying's opinion of her brother suddenly changed.

"Master Xu, who is this Tongxuanzi? I, Ji, must find him and demand an explanation!"

Xu Tianyi shook his head: "You are no match for him. Wait until you reach the peak of the Grandmaster level before you consider challenging him."

Now that you've heard all the stories, what are your plans to do with the Ji family?

As far as I know, you should be taking over as the head of the Ji family soon.

Ji Canghai's face couldn't help but contort in frustration.

The Ji family was truly good to him. Although he traveled the world, he couldn't be unaware of the many people who took care of him.

However, his father lost his wife after Yingying was born. When Yingying was one year old, he was forced by the Ji family's higher-ups to send away his own daughter. After that, he became enemies with his son and lost his son. From then on, he lived alone in pain and finally died because of his daughter's revenge.

His whole family suffered because of the Ji family's coercion.

Ji Canghai clenched his fists tightly, then relaxed them after a moment, causing the temperature in the hall to fluctuate.

Everyone watched him in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Canghai looked up and said, "Little Ying'er, even if you hate the Ji family and hate your father, your mother gave her life to give birth to you. She chose to keep you alive with her life. She loves you."

I hope you can come back with me to pay respects to my mother.

Even if you refuse to acknowledge me in the future, my wish will have been fulfilled.

Ji Yingying's face showed some emotion. When she heard that her mother, Liu, was willing to die to give birth to her, tears quietly fell from her eyes. She turned to look at Xu Tianyi.

Xu Tianyi interrupted, "Don't you understand? If Yingying goes back, she will only suffer even more persecution. Do you want her to die at the hands of the Ji family?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yingying, who had been somewhat tempted, became more determined.

Ji Canghai was somewhat annoyed, as he also thought about the Ji family's style.

For a moment, he felt somewhat helpless. He looked at Xu Tianyi, who was in the main seat, and asked:

"Does Master Xu have any suggestions? He wouldn't be telling me this for no reason..."

Xu Tianyi finally laughed.

"As you can see, the Ji family and Yingying are basically incompatible. To put it simply, the stubborn old folks at the top of the Ji family are the most hateful."

You should understand what I mean; it means splitting up the family.

Since you don't want to be any hope for the Ji family anyway, then you'll leave the Ji family after the patriarch dies and establish a new Ji family, understand?

Ji Canghai's eyes lit up.

"Does the leader mean I should move my lineage out?"

Xu Tianyi said disdainfully, "If you have a bigger vision, drive them out of the Ji family, pack them up and send them to Prince Qi, while you keep the Ji family members who have no grudges against you and take control of the Ji family."

To put it simply, you go back and take control of the Ji family, remove them from the family register, and let them fend for themselves.

In this way, you have repaid your debt by not killing the Ji family. Yingying will not hate the entire Ji family. You have avenged Yingying and your father. Bringing Yingying back also proves that Yingying is not a jinx. The people who harmed the Ji family are these so-called high-ranking officials. They are the real jinxes.

Brother Canghai, this way everyone will be happy!

Ji Canghai and Ji Yingying were both stunned.

Gu Qinghan, Yin Ziping, and the others were also filled with admiration.

This trick is a bit underhanded, but it sounds like it makes a lot of sense!
