Chapter 1192 - 941: Closing the Net 2 - Suisui Buried Alive Source 2
"This person belongs to me, Ji."Princess Ata, lacking witch power, was no match for the opponent and didn’t want to die in vain, so she said, "In light of you being my savior, I agree."
The National Master then asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"
Although the National Master was not familiar with the Ji Family, he was not entirely ignorant. Ji Youyuan, revered as the Sect Leader of the Illusion Sect, was not a bloodthirsty person.
Moreover, he never sought trouble on his own, especially now that his pawn was pregnant, he was certainly someone who wouldn’t act unless absolutely necessary.
"There are some issues with my Suisui that I have never figured out who to settle accounts with, so I’ve nurtured a Heart Demon over it. Now that the main culprit has appeared, I certainly have to collect a debt!"
"Hahaha! Sect Leader Ji is indeed clever. I never could have imagined that in that dilapidated little mountain village, someone from the Ji Family was hidden!
And what’s more, I couldn’t have imagined that the Child of Destiny would be born in my Li Family. However, I originally thought everything could be done flawlessly, but I never expected that the Ji Family indeed had the ability. Even after the old General Ji died, his sons are more promising than one another!"
The person under the black cloak finally spoke. As he reached the end of his speech, he stretched out his hand and directly took off his cloak.
Under the illumination of the torches held by the approaching Inner Guards, everyone could see that face.
Wrinkled skin, gray hair, murky eyes yet revealing intelligence!
"Who would have thought it would be such an old fellow!"
This remark was not made by Ji Youyuan, but by the freshly arrived Ji Youzhi!
Accompanying him was also the Emperor.
Everyone slightly bowed towards the Emperor as a gesture of respect.
The Emperor nodded, "In these extraordinary times, all formalities are waived!"
Then, the group of Inner Guards guarded him at the back.
"In my opinion, as the National Master, he isn’t as old as he appears!"
The National Master suddenly spoke.
"?"
The crowd was puzzled, looking toward the National Master with bewilderment, asking, "What do you mean?"
"Using one’s lifespan as the cost, he performed some evil Forbidden Technique that defies the heavens, so his actual age is at least ten years younger than he appears!"
This statement came from a voice full of innocence, and the moment the words landed, a young girl appeared perched lightly atop a wall.
Behind her was the urgently catching-up Princess Lianchun.
"Oh dear, I’m exhausted.
Xiaosuisui!
Your aunt dearly misses your habit of whimsically flying around with people.
If you don’t take me flying, using lightness skills on my own tires me out."
Princess Lianchun spoke between breaths.
Xiaosuisui pouted, "I was in a hurry and didn’t consider you, Aunt!"
Then she leaped down, not landing on the ground but directly into her big uncle’s arms!
Ji Youyuan: "..." This must be a family habit, being used to being held...
"I don’t want to look up at him. I want him to look up at me!"
The crowd: "..."
"Your heart tells me you want to kill me and then transfer my good fortune to Li Yanyan. In this way, the Li Family can prosper and thrive forever."
Li Suisui said this, and both Ji Youyuan and his brothers fixed their gaze with murderous intent on that old man.
"That’s right, it’s just a pity that the appearance of the Ji Family ruined my plan!"
The old man didn’t bother to deny it and admitted straightforwardly.
"Why would you do this?
Suisui is also a member of the Li Family. She has great fortune and will certainly protect the Li Family!
Among the Li Family, would you have Li Yanyan replace her and harm Li Suisui instead? I am utterly baffled!"
"The Child of Destiny is destined to be born in a family of immense virtue or in a family of great merit.
Although the Li Family has officials in court, after calculation, I found no one with such immense merit, capable of bearing a child with great destiny.
But even so, I checked the birth dates of everyone in the Li Family, and came up with nothing.
I became anxious because, as you know, the Child of Destiny does not stand out when young and is akin to ordinary people.
However, upon reaching a certain age, or after a unique opportunity, they begin to show their destiny.
I couldn’t be sure whether the Child of Destiny would be of use to me, so I had to find them before their destiny awakened!"
The old man paused here, his gaze directed at Xiaosuisui.
He then continued.
"Just when I was extremely anxious, news came from the Palace. The National Master entered the Palace to report, predicting that the Great Han has a Child of Destiny who already had a direction. He is about to head south to find and take them as a disciple."
