292: Chapter 292: Ji Feng’s Conspiracy 292: Chapter 292: Ji Feng’s Conspiracy In the photo, Ji Qian’s childish face still carried a slight smile, nothing like the icy expression she has now.
Since Ye Shikai got to know her, except for the period when they were in love, her face was more often stern.
Ye Shikai, with a bit of a wicked sense of humor, took out his phone and secretly took a picture of the photo fra.
At that mont, Ye Shikai faintly heard the sound of footsteps, seeming to be coming this way.
He didn’t dare be careless and quickly hid himself in a corner.
In the silent night and the silent Ji Family residence, Ye Shikai could almost hear his own heartbeat, while the footsteps with their distinct rhythm, grew louder and louder.
Ye Shikai held his breath, wanting to see who it was.
The footsteps stopped abruptly at the door of the room.
Ye Shikai realized soone was coming in, and a slight sound of the door being pushed open could be heard.
A man walked in slowly and pressed the light switch on the wall.
With a “click,” the room lit up.
Ye Shikai felt a little guilty, as if he were a thief exposed under the sunlight.
Thank goodness for the Netherworld King’s Helt here, otherwise, he would be in trouble.
Ye Shikai curiously glanced at the man; he looked familiar.
Various faces flashed through Ye Shikai’s mind…
Ji Tao, isn’t this the Ji Family’s Family Head?
Ye Shikai rembered.
Last ti at the auction, he had gone on stage to speak.
Ye Shikai hid in the dark, observing, trying to figure out what Ji Tao was up to.
Ji Tao slowly walked to the bedside table and, just like Ye Shikai’s first reaction, picked up the photo fra.
He looked at the little girl in the photo, his eyes filled with fatherly affection, and without uttering a word.
If Ye Shikai rembered correctly, the reason Ji Qian didn’t want to go back, it should be because of her family.
But it seed Ji Tao was quite good to her.
Ye Shikai watched a while longer, then with a swift pace, imdiately left the room.
The steps of a cultivator, like a cat in the night, silent and stealthy.
Only Ye Shikai didn’t notice that right after he left, Ji Tao slowly turned his head, looking towards the doorway…
“Damn it, where exactly is Ji Feng’s room?” Ye Shikai cursed inwardly.
The Ji Family’s courtyard was laid out with a certain sophistication.
Ye Shikai had learned a lot about Arrays from the “Emperor Xuan Scripture,” and it seed the Ji Family’s courtyard contained the wisdom of the Eight Diagrams arrangent.
A few tis, Ye Shikai had almost gotten lost.
“Blade Spirit, I seem to be lost.” Half an hour later, Ye Shikai gave up the aimless searching and found a corner to rest quietly.
“This courtyard looks ordinary, but it actually conceals an Array.
I speculate it was laid by so great figure.” The voice of Blade Spirit echoed in Ye Shikai’s mind, provoking so surprise in him; he hadn’t thought that the Ji Family would use an Array even in their building’s layout.
“Don’t be surprised, youngster.
Not only is Si Jiu City deep, it’s also murky, and the Ji Family is one of the four great families.
The heritage they possess is sothing even I can’t fully explain.
In the past, there were countless great sages and figures, and I can feel it.
The Ji Family appears tranquil, but it’s actually a place where dragons lie hidden, and sowhere in the mansion, I can sense a trendously strong energy.
Be careful,” Blade Spirit reminded him.
“I’m not looking for any great sage; I’m simply looking for a normal person,” Ye Shikai said with a face full of annoyance; what kind of great sage would Ji Feng be.
“Forget it, I’ll help you one more ti.
Follow the direction I give you,” Blade Spirit said indifferently.
“Do you know the way?” Ye Shikai asked, surprised.
“Nonsense, even though I’m a Soul Body, I’m still very sensitive to perceptions.
Ji Feng has t you; I can sense his position.” Blade Spirit, as a Soul Body, was quite adept at handling those intangible things and with its extensive experience and knowledge, it could help Ye Shikai break through the Ji Family’s Array.
Following the guidance of Blade Spirit, Ye Shikai turned this corner and that and soon arrived at the door of a large room.
Peeking in through the window, he saw Ji Feng talking to several n inside, but because the room was soundproofed, Ye Shikai couldn’t hear what was being said.
Goddammit, finally found the person but can’t hear anything.
Ye Shikai couldn’t be more frustrated.
At that mont, a man ca walking from afar.
Ye Shikai quickly hid himself.
To his surprise, the man pushed open the room’s door, holding a docunt in his hand, seemingly about to report sothing to Ji Feng.
Ye Shikai took this opportunity, with a swift move, dashed into the room before the door closed.
“Gentlen, this ti our Ji Family’s cooperation with the Wu Family is a must-win,” Ji Feng lifted the wine glass in his hand, and the others also ca up to toast.
“Mr.
Ji, but we have a competitor this ti,” said one man below.
“Yes, I heard Su Qingyu of Tianya Group has personally gone to Hong Kong,” soone else added.
…
“Please rest assured, gentlen, Tianya Group is but a fading candle, unfit to compete with the bright moon.
The strength of the Ji Family far exceeds Tianya, and I have already discussed the details of the negotiation and cooperation with the Eldest Young Master of the Wu Family, Wu Zijian.
This ti we will surely secure the cooperation rights with the Wu Family,” Ji Feng declared on the stage, delivering a highly motivational speech.
They say powerful businessn are orators, and this seems to be true, even Ye Shikai nearly got drawn into Ji Feng’s pace.
However, one thing Ji Feng said was indeed true.
Compared to Tianya, the Ji Family did have a better chance of winning, and this was what Su Qingyu was most worried about; perhaps this ti the opponent was indeed stronger.
After everyone left, in the empty room, only Ji Feng and the man who had co in with the docunt remained.
“Li, is everything taken care of?” Ji Feng turned to the man and asked lightly.
“Rest assured, Mr.
Ji,” the man nodded and said.
Ye Shikai perked up instantly, just as he had suspected, a surge of anger was burning in his chest, and he wished he could show up and thrash the two n right away.
“Moreover, Mr.
Wu has also arranged for the Tomb Spirit Organization to harass and intimidate Su Qingyu’s party non-stop; nobody will be able to trace it back to us,” the man nad Li continued.
“Good.
If we can successfully cooperate with Wu Zijian this ti, my influence in the Ji Family will grow even stronger.
Haha,” Ji Feng couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
Ye Shikai sneered inwardly, a mole right before their eyes, and they couldn’t see it.
Where did that confidence co from?
“However, that second son of the Wu Family, Wu Yu, seems to be troubleso,” Ji Feng cald down and spoke lightly.
“Don’t worry, Mr.
Ji.
Mr.
Wu has already enlisted the Tomb Spirit Organization, Wu Yu is as good as dead this ti.”
