“Mo Yunfei, are you trying to cause trouble in my Ji family!”
Ji Fu glared at him. Firstly, their current enemy was Leng Wuhuan, and any loss of strength by either side here would affect the final outcome. Secondly, she vaguely felt that Mo Yunfei and Leng Wuhuan had a strange relationship. Otherwise, why would he become so furious when asked to have her mother make a call?
“Hmph, your Ji family? Don’t forget the agreement we signed. I am now considered half a member of the Ji family.”
After emphasizing this, Mo Yunfei threw another sentence and left with a flick of his sleeve.
“Fine, since you, Miss Ji, are mediating, I won’t bother with these two house slaves. I’ll wait for you outside.”
After Mo Yunfei left, Ji Fu pressed the shoulders of the two uncles beside her, carefully closed the door, and her expression deepened.
Ji Feng was not a fool and had already noticed Mo Yunfei’s strangeness. “Miss, this fellow is a bit strange. As soon as you mentioned the family head, his expression changed immediately. Could it be~”
Ji Fu placed her index finger against her lips, signaling them to lower their voices, and then whispered, “I’m afraid the Dongfang clan is going to harm my family!”
“What?” The two Ji brothers exclaimed in shock.
“Shh, don’t be so alarmed. Be careful of eavesdroppers.” Ji Fu lowered her voice again. “Ren Yuanhao just showed me this.”
Ji Fu took out her phone and handed the three stacked photos to the two.
“Look, the one on the far left is naturally Dongfang Jing, the dog in the middle is her current true form, and on the right is the ‘Dongfang Jing’ with the dog’s soul in the body.”
Knowing that the two would not be able to accept it immediately, and might not even understand what she was saying, Ji Fu added, “Simply put, Leng Wuhuan, who is engaged to Dongfang Xu, wanted to harm the second young lady, Dongfang Jing. However, he didn’t know that Dongfang Jing had the special ability to switch souls with a dog. Therefore, Dongfang Jing did not die when she was buried alive.”
“But why would he do that?”
“Naturally, for power. If Dongfang Jing were not dead, who do you think would become the family head in a family based on genetics?”
“Naturally, it would be Miss Jing.”
Ji Fu nodded and continued, “This Leng Wuhuan and the Chi Xiao Sect behind him are no longer satisfied with the quiet seclusion of the mountains. They have turned their attention to the mortal world, and Yun Jin City is their first step in conquering the world. We major families are at the forefront, and the Xia family was the first to suffer. It’s just that we didn’t expect Ren Yuanhao to appear halfway, nor did we expect that Ren Yuanhao would also inadvertently help them eliminate the Jiang clan!”
The two Ji brothers suddenly understood, “In other words, after eliminating the leaders of the major clans, they can logically annex them one by one, and then~”
“Yes,” Ji Fu interrupted Ji Feng. “There isn’t much time to explain now. I’ve already discussed it with Ren Yuanhao. Only by forming an alliance can we resist the power of the Dongfang family. And now, I have reason to suspect that the Mo family has already joined forces with the Dongfang family and become his running dogs. Now, in order not to expose the alliance matter, I can only attend this banquet of Hongmen.”
Just as the two Ji brothers were about to object, Ji Fu interrupted them with a light laugh, “My mother might have already been controlled. I am temporarily entrusting the life and death of the Ji family to you two. If anything happens, you can contact Ren Yuanhao. I will place my life in his hands. We can only win this gamble. If we lose, it means ruin for the family.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Fu knelt down, and the two also knelt down on either side of her.
“Miss and the family head have treated us well. This matter is ours to handle. Miss, please be extra careful on your journey.”
After Ji Fu helped them up, she bowed deeply and respectfully, then strode out and followed Mo Yunfei, disappearing from the Ji family mansion.
“The eldest young lady’s journey is likely fraught with danger. We should quickly mobilize our core members and contact Ren Yuanhao to await his orders at any time.”
Ji Feng was decisive and his words were followed by him stepping out the door.
…
Meanwhile, in Shen Lannni’s apartment, Ye Lan had been engrossed in her work for over three hours.
“Ye Lan, how’s it going?”
Ren Yuanhao stood beside Ye Lan, gently rubbing her shoulders.
“It’s indeed extraordinary. If I were at home in Ai Shen City, I would have already broken through the opponent’s ‘network.’ The processing power and bandwidth of this computer are too poor.”
“Do you need to go to Ouyang’s or Xia’s to use their computers?”
“No need. Migrating and debugging the data would also take a lot of time.” Ye Lan patted Ren Yuanhao’s hand and said softly, “Yuanhao, your burden is much heavier than mine. You should go rest first. By the way, Sister Lannni has put a lot of effort into understanding the ‘Three Parts Returning to One Qi.’ You go ahead and be busy, I’ll work harder here.”
Ren Yuanhao indeed needed a trump card, not just the ‘Three Parts Returning to One Qi,’ but also to understand the situation of his third special ability. And as the biggest trump card – the system – his current points were still in the negative, which was the biggest hidden danger.
He strode back to his room. The fish soup that Yang Lingxue had stewed was still on the table, with a milky white broth emitting a misty white vapor, filling the room with a rich aroma.
“Drink it. This time it’s definitely not poison.”
Ren Yuanhao didn’t hesitate. He picked up the fish soup and gulped it down. His empty stomach rumbled with satisfied sounds.
“How is it?” Yang Lingxue asked with anticipation.
“Good, much improved.”
Yang Lingxue smiled brightly like snow, a blush instantly appearing on her cheeks. Then, like a newlywed bride, she carried the ladle and bowl out of the room.
Ren Yuanhao didn’t delay. He sat down cross-legged, opened the book that recorded Shen Lannni’s painstaking efforts on the ‘Three Parts Returning to One Qi,’ and began to read.
“Qi, vast and boundless, floats and drifts between heaven and earth, converging into oceans and rivers. All things, in their essence, are but the numbers of the five elements. The mortal body, once filled with just one part of Qi, is sufficient. But the ‘Three Parts Returning to One Qi’ must possess three parts of Qi to unleash its full power…”
As Ren Yuanhao read, he fell into a trance, entering a mental illusion where the galaxy hung upside down. The sounds of car horns no longer reached his ears.
“Di Di, I know you have a lot of questions. Speak.”
“First, what’s the situation with my third special ability? Sometimes I feel like I can grab something from a distance.”
“Let me ask you first, do you know Plato and Aristotle?”
“I do. Before the Middle Ages, the worldview was built on their theories.”
“Then, do you know the five elements in their worldview?”
“I do. Earth, water, fire, wind, and emptiness.”
“Good, knowing this makes it easier to explain. Special abilities are divided into many types, and I believe you have some understanding of this. Then, do you know the five origins of special abilities?”
