Ji Yunxi stood up and looked out of the window. Lingyun Manor was covered in snow all year round, and the outside was a vast expanse of white, which made people feel cold at the sight.
She shook her head. "It's different. Actually, I'm not very worried about Jiuge. That day when Jiang Yaoji wanted to take action, it was stopped by Feng Xingzhi. So he will still protect his younger sister. What worries me more now is Second Brother."
" Him? He's at most an outsider. He should be fine..."
Ji Yunxi interrupted her. "No. According to Jiang Yaoji's personality, she will definitely deal with Second Brother. At worst, she'll force him to tell them our whereabouts. At best..." She didn't dare to go on, feeling even more anxious.
After all, Ji Yunyi was her elder brother. Even if Feng Xingzhi wouldn't do anything, it was hard to guarantee that Jiang Yaoji wouldn't take out her resentment towards herself on Second Brother.
Yun Luotian knew that what she said made sense, but with their current abilities, apart from hoping that Jiang Yaoji wasn't that crazy, there was really nothing else they could do.
Her silence made the atmosphere turn cold.
"Senior Sister, don't be afraid. Once you recover, we'll gather our people as soon as possible to rescue them."
Ji Yunxi was also anxious, fearing that something might go wrong. "No, I can't just sit here doing nothing!"
Saying that, she immediately read all the books that Feng Heyang had sent over carefully. Then she started to study the formation to rescue Feng Ji.
A few days later, she had recovered a bit.
"Feng Heyang, I'm going to the ice lake on the mountaintop."
Feng Heyang was initially delighted to see that she could leave her room, but when he heard that she wanted to go to the mountaintop, his expression immediately turned cold. "What for?"
Ji Yunxi wasn't angry about his defensiveness. She explained, "I want to go there to take a look. I've read quite a few books these days and have some ideas. I plan to go to the site to check it out so that I can figure out how to set up the formation eyes and where to place the formation."
Her reason was reasonable. Feng Heyang changed his previous attitude and immediately agreed to let her go.
"Don't tell me Yun Luotian is going too?" Feng Heyang frowned.
Ji Yunxi said, "She has to go. We'll need her help later."
Although he was still very worried about Yun Luotian's identity, in the end, he gritted his teeth. If she was really a traitor, he would still find a way to protect Emperor Feng Ji. "Fine, you two can go."
On the other side, after Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi were taken back to the Jiang family, they were put under house arrest and locked up separately.
Li Jiuge's treatment seemed quite good. Even though she was under house arrest, she was arranged in a nice room. However, for a long time, the only things she could see were the small patch of sky in the courtyard and the maids who came to deliver her meals every day.
This feeling of being imprisoned without freedom was really driving her crazy. Just when she was about to lose her hold, someone finally took her out.
In the main hall of the Jiang family, Feng Xingzhi and Jiang Yaoji were sitting in the main seats. Her cousin no longer had his previous gentle expression. He looked like a superior, his face full of coldness.
Li Jiuge stole a careful glance at him and knew that this man was definitely not her affectionate cousin. If she kept trying to get close to him by relying on their relationship, she was afraid she wouldn't get the result she wanted.
Having made up her mind, she silently lowered her eyes, seemingly disappointed in Feng Xingzhi.
Feng Xingzhi noticed this and felt a little uncomfortable. Especially when he saw her kneeling on the ground, it seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
Seeing that Feng Xingzhi had been silent for a while, Jiang Yaoji finally spoke. "Miss Li, I won't make things difficult for you, but you have to tell me the truth."
Li Jiuge disdained to talk to her and just rolled her eyes.
Feng Xingzhi let out a soft sigh. "To what extent has Ji Yunxi's divine power recovered?"
Hearing this, Li Jiuge looked up, feeling very confused. Ji Yunxi and Feng Xingzhi were together every day. Who else could be more aware of to what extent her divine power had recovered and how much strength she had? Why was he asking her now?
Looking at Jiang Yaoji's expression, she suddenly understood. Although Jiang Yaoji had made Feng Xingzhi forget Ji Yunxi, she couldn't change the content of his memories. She could only erase some things.
So that was why Feng Xingzhi had even forgotten something so important to Jiang Yaoji.
She couldn't help but laugh inwardly. This was really a stroke of luck! If that was the case, Feng Xingzhi must have also forgotten about what happened in Lingyun Manor. So Ji Yunxi must be very safe with the white - robed man!
With this thought, Li Jiuge felt greatly relieved. Even when acting, she didn't feel so burdened.
She looked up and told the truth. "Cousin, actually I don't know. After all, I don't have divine power and don't understand these things. Ji Yunxi is always very cautious and never told us."
Feng Xingzhi squinted his eyes. "Is what you said true?"
Li Jiuge just plopped down on the ground. "I, Li Jiuge, either don't say anything or tell the truth. Why would I lie to you?"
Jiang Yin saw that she refused to kneel and wanted to go forward and force her to kneel. Li Jiuge pointed at him. "Get out of here! You lowly servant! I'm the Princess of Nanyan. Do you think you're worthy of touching me?"
Jiang Yin's face changed. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but was slapped hard by Jiang Yaoji. "You scoundrel! Get out!"
Jiang Yaoji knew in her heart that Li Jiuge was probably not lying. After all, she knew Ji Yunxi quite well. Ji Yunxi was indeed very cautious. Moreover, since Li Jiuge and Ji Yunyi didn't have divine power, even if Ji Yunxi told them, they might not understand.
"I'm sorry. My servant doesn't know the rules."
Feng Xingzhi's expression was unfriendly. For some reason, he disliked Jiang Yin very much. Now this man even dared to do something to his younger sister. "The head of the Jiang family should discipline your servants well. Don't let anyone act rashly. My sister, Feng Xingzhi's sister, is not someone to be bullied easily."
Saying that, he gently waved his hand, and the cup on the table instantly turned into dust.
Jiang Yin's face turned pale. He quickly knelt down to apologize.
Feng Xingzhi ignored him and continued to ask Li Jiuge. "Then where is Feng Heyang?"
Li Jiuge's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. "How would I know where she is?"
"You don't know?" Jiang Yaoji frowned, suspecting that she wasn't telling the truth. If she didn't know about the level of divine power, it was impossible that she didn't know where Feng Heyang, their ally, was, right?
Li Jiuge looked innocent, as if she really didn't know.
However, hearing this, she was already quite sure that most of Feng Xingzhi's memories about Ji Yunxi had been directly erased by Jiang Yaoji.
She secretly rejoiced that Jiang Yaoji's ability hadn't reached the point where she could modify the content of memories. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Just because he had forgotten, Feng Xingzhi had already hurt Ji Yunxi because of Jiang Yaoji's words. If his memories were really modified, he might be chasing after Ji Yunxi to kill her now.
