There was quite a commotion outside the door. The sound - shielding barrier had been removed. In her half - asleep state, Ji Yunxi seemed to hear the voice of her eldest brother.
Perhaps it had been a long time since she last saw her eldest brother, and her yearning was overwhelming.
Ji Yunxi opened her eyes, looking out sleepily.
She stood up and walked in the direction where the moonlight shone in. Looking out of the window, Ji Yunxi saw that the person standing in front of Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge, lecturing them, was none other than Ji Yuchen.
Could it be that she wasn't fully awake yet? How could she see her eldest brother here in Kunlun?
Ji Yunxi scoffed at herself and rubbed her eyes, but the figure still remained.
She was so surprised that she thought she was still in a dream and just stood there stupidly by the window.
Ji Yuchen looked up and saw Ji Yunxi standing by the window, looking confused. He called out to her from afar, "Yunxi."
Hearing him call her name, Ji Yunxi finally confirmed that it was really her eldest brother. Suddenly, all the pent - up sadness found an outlet. In front of everyone, she pushed open the door and threw herself into Ji Yuchen's arms.
"Eldest brother..." Ji Yunxi originally didn't want to cry. She was privately afraid that her eldest brother would think she had suffered. But smelling the reassuring scent on her eldest brother, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Ji Yuchen reached out and hugged his sister. He felt that she had lost weight and his heart ached. He stroked her hair and said, "It's okay. Big brother is here."
Ji Yunxi's tears dampened Ji Yuchen's clothes and filled his heart with sadness.
It took a while to calm everyone's emotions. Sitting in the yard, Ji Yunyi and Li Jiuge exaggeratedly told Ji Yuchen everything that had happened in the past few months.
Most of the blame was placed on Jiang Yaoji.
"Eldest brother, you don't know. That Jiang Yaoji is really evil! They even harmed the Empress. If it weren't for the Prince's quick wits, the four kingdoms would have been in chaos! She also used the children of the noble families from the four kingdoms to try to besiege Yunxi and cousin. That's why cousin is still in a coma now."
Li Jiuge kept calling him "eldest brother" as if all the previous conflicts had never happened.
Ji Yunxi looked at her eldest brother worriedly. She saw Ji Yuchen frown slightly but didn't say anything.
"Eldest brother, the divine power in Yunxi's body has been sealed once by Immortal Venerable Ronghua. For now, there's no major problem, but this matter can't be delayed any longer."
Ji Yuchen looked at the side hall and asked, "Is the Prince in the room?"
Ji Yunxi's eyes dimmed. "It's all because he tried to save me."
Before coming here, Ji Yuchen had thought that if Feng Xingzhi couldn't protect his sister, he would risk his life to dissolve their engagement. But now it seemed that he had been small - minded. Feng Xingzhi really loved Ji Yunxi with his life.
If he really tried to stop them, it was likely that Yunxi wouldn't find another person who loved her so deeply.
Thinking of Feng Xingzhi who was still in a coma, his prejudice against this brother - in - law completely disappeared.
"On this matter, we really should thank the Prince, even though we're all family." Ji Yuchen suddenly softened his attitude, which made Ji Yunxi blush unexpectedly.
Ji Yunyi coughed lightly. "Eldest brother, there's another thing. Ji Yuyan is dead."
Ji Yunyi learned this from Qing Xuan. He didn't expect that this half - sister had become so obsessed. But her death was like a full stop to the previous events.
Hearing her second brother mention this, Ji Yunxi took the initiative to say, "Eldest brother, I didn't collect her body..."
She knew that her eldest brother was very particular about etiquette and was afraid that her decision would displease him.
Fortunately, Ji Yuchen was no longer the eldest son of the Ji family who was constrained by reputation and family status. "It doesn't matter. She brought this upon herself. But the person behind her... Is it Jiang Yaoji?"
Ji Yunxi shook her head. "I don't think it's just her. Although Jiang Yaoji is powerful, she probably can't reach this level. Moreover, if she had the Ruoshui Sword, why didn't she come directly for me instead of relying on Ji Yuyan?"
Ji Yuchen nodded upon hearing this. "This Jiang Yaoji... What's her background exactly?"
Finally, Lu Shu got a chance to speak. He quickly said, "Young Master Ji, according to the investigation of the Dream - Hua Pavilion, Jiang Yaoji is not only the head of the Jiang family but also the master of the Moon - Gazing Pavilion. But this Moon - Gazing Pavilion is extremely ruthless and complex. It seems that there must be some powerful person behind Jiang Yaoji."
Ji Yuchen sighed. "Thanks for taking care of Yunxi all this time."
Lu Shu was flattered. The eldest young master was completely different from the second young master. He was gentle and jade - like. Lu Shu quickly replied, "It's my duty."
They chatted for a long time, and Ji Yunxi still didn't let go of her brother's sleeve.
Ji Yuchen was straightforward. Worried about Ji Yunxi's condition, he directly used his spiritual power to check the seal in her body.
Feeling the slightly trembling and unstable seal, Ji Yuchen felt extremely heart - ache. "Does it hurt?"
Ji Yunxi gave a bright smile. "Don't worry, eldest brother. I don't feel any pain. It's not as serious as you think."
Her smile made Ji Yuchen feel even more heart - broken. Although he didn't study under the masters of Kunlun Mountain and didn't have high spiritual power and cultivation, he had read extensively and knew that this kind of seal would cause great pain.
Feeling a bit self - reproachful, Ji Yuchen thought that he had failed to take good care of his sister and was ashamed of his parents' last words.
Filled with this sense of apology, Ji Yuchen coaxed Ji Yunxi back to her room to sleep. After lulling her to sleep like when she was a child, he quietly left a stack of silver notes.
After closing the door and coming out, Ji Yunyi was already standing obediently on one side, waiting.
"Come on, follow me." Ji Yuchen called him into the yard and asked, "What were the medicinal materials you and Jiuge mentioned just now?"
Ji Yunyi explained, "We came to Kunlun Mountain to find the prescription to remove the divine power. Now we've found it. We need to make the Nine - Revolving Green Blood Pill. But its medicinal materials are very hard to find. Yunxi and the Prince only found two kinds when they went out."
"Only after taking this pill can we extract the other spiritual power from Yunxi's body, right?" Ji Yuchen had realized its importance and asked with a frown.
Ji Yunyi sighed. "Eldest brother, the young man you saw today is Jiang Linyin, an elder of the Jiang family. He was imprisoned by Jiang Yaoji before. As soon as he was released, he came to find Yunxi. What he said should be correct."
"What's the next medicinal material?" Ji Yuchen sighed.
At this point, Ji Yunyi suddenly shook his head. "The book that records the relevant medicinal materials is with Yunxi. If we go to ask for it, she definitely won't give it to us. She must be thinking of hiding it from us."
It was really hard to say whether their sister knew them too well or they were just too unreliable.
Just as they were feeling troubled, Qing Xuan suddenly appeared, holding the book in his hand.
He grinned. "I knew you'd need this, so I brought it."
