Chapter 967

Chapter 967 Completely Confused

 

After crying, Ji Xiaochan noticed Fang Yu standing not far behind her.

She rubbed her reddened nose and asked, “Sis, who is this person?”

“This is Mr. Fang,” said Ji Rumei.

“Mr. Fang?” Ji Xiaochan was stunned for a moment, then widened her eyes and asked, “Is he the Fang Yu you mentioned before!?”

“You know me?” Fang Yu looked at Ji Xiaochan and asked.

This was his first time meeting Ji Xiaochan.

“My sister often mentions you to me…” Ji Xiaochan said.

“Xiaochan, let’s go back first,” Ji Rumei’s face reddened as she stopped Ji Xiaochan from continuing.

At this moment, Ji Xiaochan noticed the men’s clothes Ji Rumei was wearing.

They were exactly the same as what Fang Yu was wearing!

“Sis, during those two hours you disappeared, were you actually…” Ji Xiaochan covered her mouth, looking at Ji Rumei in disbelief.

“Don’t, don’t talk nonsense! Let’s go back first!” Ji Rumei said with a flushed face and red ears.

Seeing Ji Rumei’s expression, Ji Xiaochan revealed a knowing smile, then looked toward Fang Yu.

“Is he coming back with us too?” Ji Xiaochan asked.

Ji Rumei turned to look at Fang Yu and asked, “Mr. Fang, it’s getting late. Would you like to have dinner at our home before leaving?”

“It would be even better if you could stay overnight,” Ji Xiaochan added from the side.

Ji Rumei bit her red lips and glared at Ji Xiaochan.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and answered, “Alright.”

Seeing Fang Yu agree, Ji Rumei’s face showed joy.

So, ten minutes later, Fang Yu was sitting in Ji Rumei’s private car, heading toward the Ji family home.

By now, Ji Rumei had changed back into her own clothes.

“Mr. Fang, I’ll take your clothes home, wash them, and return them to you,” Ji Rumei said.

“Good,” Fang Yu replied.

“Hey, is your name really Fang Yu?” Ji Xiaochan suddenly asked while sitting in the car.

“Xiaochan, mind your manners!” Ji Rumei reminded her.

“My name is indeed Fang Yu. Why?” Fang Yu looked at Ji Xiaochan and asked.

“Then you have the same name as that Fang Yu from Beidu?” Ji Xiaochan asked with wide eyes.

“Fang Yu from Beidu?” Ji Rumei looked at Ji Xiaochan with confusion.

“Yes, recently this name has been resounding throughout Beidu! Our entire university is discussing him! They say he single-handedly forced the legendary number one martial arts family, the Wang family, to kneel and beg for mercy… He’s like a protagonist straight out of a novel, so amazing,” Ji Xiaochan said with admiration.

Ji Rumei looked at Fang Yu with an unusual gaze.

In fact, she had also heard about this matter.

But she didn’t think this Fang Yu from Beidu was someone else… she believed Fang Yu had the ability to accomplish this.

However… when she first heard this rumor, she thought it was just gossip.

After all, Fang Yu rarely did such high-profile things.

Now sitting face to face with Fang Yu, Ji Rumei wanted to ask if this was true.

But seeing that Fang Yu seemed to be thinking about other things, she didn’t ask.

In the car, Ji Xiaochan talked on and on.

Fang Yu looked out the window, pondering some matters.

After leaving the ancient ruins, reflecting on what happened inside, he felt something wasn’t quite right.

He encountered no resistance, just watched a realistic “movie,” and then took the inheritance.

The realistic movie, the appearance of He Ruju, and even the murals in the passage all seemed designed to convey a message to anyone who entered the ruins.

That message was about the rise of alien races.

He Ruju’s behavior… didn’t seem like a mere will, because his answers were very mechanical.

It was as if every sentence had been prepared in advance.

The more Fang Yu thought about it, the more confused he became.

The ruins he entered today and the information from He Ruju left him completely puzzled.

“Forget it, as long as there was some gain, I won’t think about the rest if I can’t figure it out,” Fang Yu thought.

As for the rise of alien races…

Fang Yu wasn’t sure if it truly existed.

But this year, many strange phenomena had indeed appeared.

And the “flood” mentioned by Dao Kong, along with the “Great Revival Era” mentioned by Tianmo and the Great Angel Church… further confirmed this point.

Was this so-called flood and Great Revival Era referring to the rise of alien races?

If that was the case, what was there to be excited about?

If alien races rose, these people would likely suffer as well.

Although He Ruju spoke with despair, and the scene he created of the Virtual True Sect being slaughtered by the corpse race was quite desperate.

But besides that, it didn’t affect Fang Yu’s mindset.

If the rise of alien races was inevitable, he couldn’t stop it anyway.

If it was false, there was no need to worry.

What will come will come, no need to overthink.

Having lived for so many years, Fang Yu had learned to let go.

…

Fang Yu arrived at the Ji family home and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner.

Ji Dongshan wasn’t home, so only Ji Rumei and Ji Xiaochan were at the table.

After dinner, Fang Yu sat on the sofa, drank two cups of tea, and prepared to leave.

“It’s almost nine o’clock, why not stay the night? It would be nice to stay here,” Ji Xiaochan winked at Fang Yu and said, “Uncle probably won’t be coming home tonight. As long as I don’t say anything… he definitely won’t know.”

“Xiaochan! What, what are you saying!?” Ji Rumei’s face turned as red as if blood might drip from it.

“I have matters to attend to, I need to go back,” Fang Yu stood up and said.

“Mr. Fang, I’ll see you out,” Ji Rumei also stood up and said.

“Then I won’t disturb you two. But sis, watch the time, don’t go missing again,” Ji Xiaochan said with a smile.

Ji Rumei was both embarrassed and annoyed, but could do nothing about her cousin’s unrestrained words.

Fang Yu ignored them and walked straight outside.

He needed to go home and study the Ruyi Green Lotus in his pocket.

Seeing Fang Yu had already walked out the door, Ji Rumei glared at Ji Xiaochan before quickly following him.

…

“Mr. Fang, Xiaochan was talking nonsense… please don’t take it to heart,” Ji Rumei followed behind Fang Yu, speaking softly.

“I certainly won’t take it to heart,” Fang Yu replied.

“Oh, the clothes!” Ji Rumei stopped after walking a few steps and said, “Mr. Fang, please wait a moment, I’ll go back and get the clothes for you.”

With that, Ji Rumei ran back to the mansion.

Fang Yu stopped in the courtyard, waiting for Ji Rumei.

But at this moment, he heard a strange noise coming from the main gate in the distance.

Fang Yu released his divine sense and quickly saw the situation at the Ji family’s main gate.

A white stretch limousine was parked outside the gate.

The rear door was open.

Ji Dongshan, dressed in a suit, was lying on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

At this moment, another leg extended from the limousine.

A similarly well-dressed man got out of the car.

This person looked quite young, with a fairly handsome appearance, a light blue tattoo on his neck, and earrings on his earlobes.

With his left hand in his pocket, he raised his right foot and stepped directly on Ji Dongshan’s face with his leather shoe.

“Ji Dongshan, don’t be ungrateful,” the man said coldly with fierce eyes. “I didn’t call you over to negotiate terms, I’m ordering you to do this! If you don’t comply, you’ll face the consequences.”

Ji Dongshan didn’t speak, but from his expression and eyes, he was extremely angry.

“Angry? Haven’t you heard of my name, Huo Rong?” the man said harshly. “In today’s Jiangnan, even the Zhong family, a martial arts family, must show respect when they see me! Who do you think you are? How dare you refuse my request?”

As he spoke, Huo Rong pressed down harder with his foot.

Ji Dongshan let out a groan of pain.

“That’s enough,” a woman’s voice came from inside the car. “This is someone else’s home after all, no need to be too excessive. Mr. Ji is a respectable person, leave him some dignity.”

Huo Rong looked at Ji Dongshan under his foot, spat, and released his foot.

“Since my sister said to let you go, I’ll spare you for now.” Huo Rong crouched down, grabbed Ji Dongshan’s head, and forcibly lifted it up.

“I’ll give you at most three days to consider. I’ll bring the contract then. Of course, you can choose to refuse again, but what happens to your Ji family afterward… I can’t say for sure,” Huo Rong stared at Ji Dongshan’s face and smiled. “I’ve heard your daughter Ji Rumei is a famous beauty in Jiangnan…”

After saying this, Huo Rong patted Ji Dongshan’s face again.

Then, he stood up and returned to the car.

“Let’s go,” Huo Rong said to the driver.
