Xiaosuisui looked at the motionless strand of hair in her hand and couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh. Could it be... my maternal grandfather is already dead?
That can’t be. If my maternal grandfather is indeed dead, then why would Maternal Grandmother have Eldest Maternal Uncle pass his hair to ?
Unable to understand, Xiaosuisui decided to sit cross-legged in the Dream Realm, planning to pull her Eldest Maternal Uncle in and ask him about it.
As soon as she thought of it, the little girl quickly closed her eyes. Before long, she pulled Ji Youyuan, who was currently resting his head on his wife’s belly and listening to the movents of his unborn children, into the Dream Realm.
"Eldest Maternal Uncle!"
Seeing Ji Youyuan appear, Xiaosuisui gleefully scrambled up from the ground and ran over to hug his leg.
"You little girl, being able to pull in ans you’ve already passed the First Level. How did it go? Is your Seventh Maternal Uncle alright?"
Ji Youyuan, finding himself pulled into the Dream Realm by Xiaosuisui again, quickly understood the reason. If this girl hadn’t made it through the Illusion Array, how could she possibly pull in?
"We passed the First Level, and we also cleared the Second Level. Eldest Maternal Uncle, I pulled you in here to ask you... is Maternal Grandfather really still alive?"
This question from Xiaosuisui left Ji Youyuan dumbfounded. After a long mont, he ca to his senses and hastily asked, "Why would you ask such a question? Don’t tell you couldn’t find your maternal grandfather?"
At that mont, Ji Youyuan didn’t realize that his own heart was clenching painfully.
"I tried to activate Maternal Grandfather’s hair, but there was no response at all. I’ve never encountered this situation before!"
"No response? Could it be that your maternal grandfather is no longer in this world? Has he really died?"
Ji Youyuan felt a sudden, throbbing pain in the heart he had forcefully composed. His body involuntarily slumped, and he slowly squatted down, forcing himself to sit cross-legged opposite Xiaosuisui.
Seeing him like this, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but worry and quickly asked, "Eldest Maternal Uncle, what’s wrong?"
...
In the Conference Hall on Lingxiao Mountain, Tianxuan Continent.
Ji Shang was yawning incessantly. The visiting guests from Shengtian City, his master, and his fellow martial siblings all cast puzzled glances his way.
A cultivator on the verge of reaching the Venerable Realm, yawning in broad daylight? Is he looking down on us from Shengtian City? Or is he looking down on us from Shengtian City?
The Third Elder of Shengtian City glanced at Ji Shang, who yawned again, and sneered, his eyes full of displeasure.
"Junior Brother! Junior Brother!"
Sitting next to Ji Shang, i Ji quickly but softly called out to him, yet there was no response for a long ti. Left with no other choice, i Ji quietly released a small bee, directing it to fly a couple of laps beneath Ji Shang’s nostrils.
However, just as the bee neared Ji Shang’s nostrils, a loud "ACHOO!" from Ji Shang echoed throughout the entire Conference Hall.
Venerable He Ming’s expression turned extrely unsightly. The faces of those from other factions in the hall showed disdain. So this is the famously talented Seventh Elder of Lingxiao Mountain? He seems rather ordinary at this mont!
i Ji looked at her Junior Brother with concern and asked, "Junior Brother, are you alright?" She then offered him her scented handkerchief.
Ji Shang sneezed several more tis—ACHOO! ACHOO!—until his nose ran, soiling i Ji’s scented handkerchief. It wouldn’t be right to return her handkerchief like this, he thought.
So, he accepted the handkerchief and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister... ACHOO! ...Auntie... I... My body... ACHOO! ...isn’t feeling well! Please... ACHOO! ...excuse !"
After making his apologies, Ji Shang intended to leave. However, it’s true that jealousy can drive people mad. Seeing Ji Shang behave this way, and i Ji calmly offering him her handkerchief, Song Yuzhong, the Third City Lord of Shengtian City, seethed with anger.
"Hmph! Ji Shang, you are utterly insolent! Your actions clearly show you have no regard for us from Shengtian City!"
Shengtian City was currently the foremost city in the world. It could also be considered the leading sect on the Tianxuan Continent. In the eyes of these elders and city lords, other powers were practically worthless! Especially since this involved soone who had long been a thorn in his side, and now, the most beautiful woman in the world was even handing him a handkerchief!
"Third City Lord Song is furious. Doesn’t he claim to be the most distinguished gentleman on the Tianxuan Continent? Why is he being so severe with the Seventh Elder of Lingxiao Mountain?"
The people in the Conference Hall exchanged dismayed glances and began to whisper among themselves.
