A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1004: Final Battle (Approaching the End)_6

As soon as they reached the mountain gate, they were immediately stopped by the disciples of Illusion Sect guarding the mountain, who asked what they were doing there?

Ji Shang announced himself, stating he was Ji Youyuan’s old father. The disciple guarding the mountain looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Hey! You big liar, looking all proper and human-like, why can’t you just live peacefully? Why must you come here courting death, pretending to be our Sect Leader’s father? Do you think you’re not dying fast enough?"

Ji Shang: "..." looked at the disciple with confusion and incomprehension.

"Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? Anyone who knows our Sect Leader’s identity knows that our Sect Leader’s old father has been dead for a long time, with grass over his grave grown and cut countless times. You say you’re our Sect Leader’s father; isn’t that seeking death?"

Ji Shang’s face turned dark, but thinking of what his precious granddaughter had previously told him, he realized that in this world, he was indeed considered dead.

So, he held back his anger and said, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me. You just need to report to your Sect Leader, tell him the truth, and ask him to come out and see me. Then you’ll know if I am his father."

"Can’t report it. Ordinarily, for pretending to be our Sect Leader’s father, I should arrest you and hand you over to the Law Enforcement Hall for punishment. However, I see you’re not young, so I won’t make it difficult for you. Honestly, our Sect Leader is not in the Sect right now; he’s in Xiling!"

"What did you say? Xiling? What is he doing in Xiling?"

The disciple guarding the mountain was quite the ears and eyes of the Sect, always gathering information about the big figures within it. He ended up saying more than he intended to!

"I don’t know the specifics. It seems there’s an evil force rising in Nanjiang and Xiling, and our Sect Leader went there to fight against evil!"

Xiling and Nanjiang?

Evil forces rising?

Why did Ji Shang find this matter somewhat familiar, as if he’d heard it somewhere before?

"Suisui, right, Suisui mentioned the Array of Heaven sealing these two great evils. It shouldn’t be... If they’re already dealing with these two villains, Suisui should have first come to me for the Black Tortoise Relics and the essence, so why hasn’t she come to find me?"

The more Ji Shang thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you happen to know where Suisui, our Sect Leader’s niece, is now?"

The Sect Leader’s niece?

The disciple guarding the mountain thought for a moment, shook his head, "How could we possibly know that? Our Sect Leader dotes on his niece so much, he never tells anyone."

Ji Shang didn’t meet Ji Youyuan and the information he got was not accurate, leaving him in a quandary, with no choice but to tag along silently with his fool companion.

A father meeting his son but unable to enter the house, it truly made his entire being ache!

"Nanjiang or Xiling, where should we go now?" Ji Shang stood at the fork leading to Nanjiang, Xiling, and the Capital City, seemingly plagued by indecision.

"This way!" The usually silent bookworm suddenly pointed in a direction and said very firmly.

Ji Shang blinked at these words, puzzled, "Why?"

"Her... I can feel her; I think I should go this way to find her!"

Ji Shang: "..."

"That’s the road to Nanjiang. If the boss went to Xiling, does that mean he’ll handle things there and then head to Nanjiang, or that he and Suisui are acting separately, one dealing with Xiling and the other with Nanjiang?"

Ji Shang stood there whispering to himself in analysis, yet when he finished and looked up, he saw the bookworm had already started leading towards Nanjiang.

"Hey! Who told you to walk that way? I told you, I’m not going to Nanjiang! Hey! It’s you who wants to go to Nanjiang! Old man, I’m just following you, do you hear me!"

Ji Shang chattered on and followed the bookworm toward Nanjiang.

Nanjiang

In Xiaosuisui’s room, Princess Lianchun sat by her bedside, wiping her hands and face, and washing her body.

"Suisui, if you don’t wake up soon, do you believe your aunt will strip you naked and toss you in a tub for a wash, do you believe it? Look how dirty your little hands have become?"

"Why must you take risks with everything? Can’t you stop being so stubborn? You’re such a stubborn little one, look at you now; who dares to take you back to the Capital City? Moreover, your third aunt and your pretty aunt are both about to give birth. You promised to go back to the Capital to support them! Your third aunt is due in about a month. If you don’t wake up soon, be careful the little baby in her belly won’t call you sister in the future!"

Princess Lianchun rambled on, making everyone feel uneasy. The little girl had been lying there for half a month without any sign of movement, leaving everyone terribly anxious!

"Suisui! There’s a new great thief in Yang City, did you know? That thief is surprisingly good at stealing, and he’s stealing all your dowry shops. If you don’t wake up soon, your treasures will be stolen away. How about you wake up quickly and go catch the thief with your seventh uncle?"

At Ji Youzhi’s words, Xiaosuisui’s unmoving little finger twitched ever so slightly, and Princess Lianchun blinked and took a closer look, her chubby little paw was still, "Did I imagine it? Was I seeing things?"
