As a father, he hadn’t been able to bring any help to his son, but with his son being so fierce and making him, the father, receive a lot of respect, anyone would feel proud!
Ji Wanli then looked at Ye Wushuang and said, “This time it’s also because your mother is amazing. After all, you were the flesh that fell from her body back then, and mother and son have a connected heart. No matter how different you are, she can still recognize you…”
”But what are your plans next? Should I take you to meet your eldest uncle and the others and admit your identity, or cover up your identity?”
Ye Wushuang thought for a while and said, “There’s no need for now. I’ll just stay in the Ji Clan as Mingzhe’s friend. Today, I showed some profound understanding in alchemy skills in front of everyone. Coupled with my relationship with Mingzhe, I should be able to stay in the Ji Clan without anyone saying anything.”
”For the next things, I’ll investigate slowly. After all, I haven’t been home for many years, and I have to get familiar with the situations of all my uncles, aunts, brothers, younger brothers, nephews, nieces, nephews-in-law, and nieces-in-law to make a judgment.”
Ji Wanli nodded and said, “You’ve always been assertive in doing things. I’ll listen to you!”
”Yes!”
Ye Wushuang then said, “In that case, you just treat me as air on weekdays. Besides, it’s always good for me to get closer to my eldest nephew!”
Ji Yuanye couldn’t help but smile when he heard this and said, “That kid Mingzhe has always taken you as an example!”
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Ye Wushuang drank heartily with his father, younger brother and younger sister. This was a scene that he hadn’t experienced in many years.
When he returned to the room in a daze, Xuan Yunni put Ye Wushuang on the bed, and there was also a smile in her eyebrows and eyes.
Perhaps, the joy of recognizing his family can make Ye Wushuang slightly relieve the pain of his grandfather’s departure.
Xuan Yunni gently stroked Ye Wushuang’s cheek and got up to prepare to fetch water.
A hand firmly grasped her wrist, and then a brute force pulled her down on the bed. Soon, the wooden bed made a creaking sound, which lasted for a long time…
The next day, early in the morning, the sun was already high in the sky.
Ye Wushuang rubbed his head in a daze and felt a softness on his chest. Looking down, Xuan Yunni was lying on him, sleeping soundly.
”Awake?”
Feeling Ye Wushuang’s movement, Xuan Yunni slightly raised her head.
”Hmm…”
Ye Wushuang’s palm gently stroked across Xuan Yunni’s smooth as jade and soft as silk back and said, “Has anyone come to look for us?”
”No…”
Xuan Yunni shook her head and said, “Maybe they want you to have a good rest.”
Ye Wushuang slowly sat up and said, “That’s right. With my current identity, it’s not appropriate for me to keep vigil for grandpa.”
Xuan Yunni looked up at Ye Wushuang.
Ye Wushuang then said, “Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile. It’s just that there’s some pent-up feeling in my heart. I talked with father and them yesterday, and I feel much more comfortable in my heart…”
”What has happened cannot be changed. What we need to do is look forward and try to block what has not happened yet.”
”Mm.”
Patting Xuan Yunni’s back, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “Get up. A new day has begun. I’ll take you to look around the Ji Clan!”
The huge Ji Clan, although called a mansion, actually looks more like a huge city, and it is a city with lakes, mountains, and forests.
As the overlord of the Qianshan Realm, the construction of the Ji Clan can be imagined. To show the status of the Ji Clan it is naturally impossible to be simple.
Ye Wushuang and Xuan Yunni got themselves ready and then left the courtyard to wander around the Ji Mansion.
For convenience, the second younger brother, Ji Yuanye, arranged for him and Xuan Yunni to live next to the courtyard where he lived, close to the courtyard where the two juniors, Ji Mingzhe and Ji Minyao, lived.
Ye Wushuang took Xuan Yunni to wander around the mansion. He also knew which places were the forbidden areas in the Ji Mansion and should not be visited. Therefore, there was no one to stop them along the way.
Soon, the two of them came to a rockery and fishpond. There were various goldfish in the pond, which were really beautiful.
The two stopped and stood by the pond, enjoying the scenery.
Ye Wushuang hadn’t seen everything in the Ji Mansion for a very long time. Now, when he looked again, his eyes were full of memories.
“Young Master Ye…”
Suddenly, a shout rang out.
Ye Wushuang turned around and saw a man in his thirties step forward.
It was Xun Wenyan, the son of his younger aunt Ji Shu and uncle-in-law Xun Nanfeng.
Seeing Ye Wushuang and Xuan Yunni here, Xun Wenyan said politely: “That brat Mingzhe really didn’t entertain well, leaving the two guests wandering around here by themselves…”
“It doesn’t matter. Your Ji Clan’s funeral hasn’t been completed yet. Mingzhe needs to keep vigil for his great-grandfather. I’m also idle and just looking around here. Don’t worry. As long as I get close to the places involving the secrets of the core forbidden areas of the Ji Clan, your Ji Clan’s Holy Emperors will show their auras, and I won’t barge in randomly.”
Xun Wenyan was stunned when he heard this and immediately said: “Young Master Ye, what are you talking about? I didn’t mean that…”
Looking at the pond in front of him, Xun Wenyan smiled and said: “This Thousand Fish Pond is far inferior to the Thousand Flower Garden in front. Since we’ve met, let me take the two of you to have a look!”
“Isn’t Young Master Xun busy?”
“There’s still time at this moment!”
Xun Wenyan smiled and said.
The three of them walked forward along the road paved with bluestone.
Xun Wenyan didn’t seem like a talkative person, but he was still very polite when chatting with Ye Wushuang along the way.
Young Master Ye, do you have a guess about the murderer who killed Feng Yuan?” Xun Wenyan said, “My cousin…
Did you kill him?
Ye Wushuang said.
What?
Xun Wenyan was stunned.
Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, “It’s okay, I just asked casually.”
Xun Wenyan’s face was depressed, and he smiled self-precatingly and said, As long as there is any possibility of me being suspected, my mother will not spare me!
Your mother has such a personality, she doesn’t talk much, and she does things in a maverick way, but she still loves you very much.” Ye Wushuang chatted with Xun Wenyan as if chatting about family matters.”
However, to be honest, if someone in the Ji clan did it, there are only two people I suspect, one is Ren Fengxing, and the other is you, Xun Wenyan!
Hearing this, Xun Wenyan looked at Ye Wushuang, and his expression froze.
Why does Young Master Ye think so?
After a long while, Xun Wenyan just said, “If you suspect me, I can understand. After all, it was indeed me who arranged the guards in the Ji Mansion. If there is a loophole, it is my problem. It can be said that I have no intention, or it can be said that I did it on purpose.”
“But Cousin Fengxing… How could he kill his own younger brother…”
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “Don’t you defend yourself?”
“What’s there for me to defend? The matter has happened. I didn’t do a good job, that’s it. I didn’t kill Fengyuan, but… it was indeed because of my negligence that he died. I have to bear this responsibility!”
Ye Wushuang then said, “That’s not wrong. Xun Wenyan, many things can’t be explained by just one word of inadvertence. Moreover… Why couldn’t Ren Fengxing kill Ren Fengyuan? His own younger brother… What if his younger brother discovers his unmentionable things?”
As soon as these words came out, Xun Wenyan’s expression froze.
