Huo Qingci rested in the room for a while, tidied up a little, then went out with her bag and went straight to Ji's house.
The Ji family does not have a quaint Chinese-style courtyard like the other four major Xuanmen families. Instead, they bought a two-story villa on the outskirts of the city, with a front and backyard.
The yard is very large, two to three thousand square meters in total.
Mr. Ji likes fishing and there is an artificial fish pond in the backyard.
Large weeping willows are planted around the fish pond.
It is already November, and the leaves of the weeping willows are all withered and yellow. When the wind blows, a few willow leaves will be brought down from time to time, swirling and blowing away. Some fall on the path surrounded by the redwood fence in the distance, and some fall on the side. In artificial fish pond.
When Huo Qingci came over, Mr. Ji was sitting on a deck chair next to the fish pond. There were fishing rods and a small red bucket containing fish next to him.
Next to the small red bucket, there is a small round table made of woven rattan, and there is a chair made of rattan next to the round table.
On the small round table is a tea set and even a small stove.
The charcoal in the small stove was burning, and there were glowing red charcoal fire under the gray-white ashes.
There was a small kettle on top. The water in the kettle was boiling, and faint wisps of hot steam came out of the mouth of the kettle.
Hearing the movement behind him, Mr. Ji did not look back, but spoke with a smile.
"Here you go, sit down."
Huo Qingci, who was carrying a small bag, was not polite. She walked very gracefully and her posture was also very elegant when she sat down on the wicker chair next to her.
After she sat down, Mr. Ji turned to look at her.
"how?"
Huo Qingci was a little afraid of Mr. Ji in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She was even very elegant and calm.
"Mr. Ji, everything you said is right. There is indeed something wrong with Ming Zaizai."
Mr. Ji still smiled slightly, and his slightly cloudy eyes slowly fell on Huo Qingci.
"What did you see?"
Huo Qingci shook his head.
"Other than being very strong and very fast, there is nothing special about the rest."
Before Mr. Ji could speak, Huo Qingci added lightly.
"After all, we are just ordinary people, we can't see what is there and what is not."
Mr. Ji was holding two walnuts on a plate in his hand. When he was silent, the only sound beside the fish pond was the sound of boiling water in the kettle and his plate of walnuts.
He did not answer Huo Qingci's words, but changed the topic.
"The water is boiling, let's make tea!"
Huo Qingci is not in a hurry. She has known Mr. Ji for many years and knows his temperament.
So Mr. Ji said to make tea, she put down the small bag, sat on the wicker chair and picked up the kettle with the small towel next to her, then poured the water and made tea with natural and elegant movements.
The movements are done in one go, as beautiful as flowing clouds and flowing water.
Mr. Ji looked at it with a smile on his red face.
"Qingci, your tea making is as enjoyable as ever!"
There was a slight smile on Huo Qingci's lips, and there was a bit of chill in her eyes.
"There must be someone who appreciates it!"
Mr. Ji asked her with a smile while playing with walnuts.
"Why, what happened to Xiaojing's father again?"
Huo Qingci didn't want to mention her husband Shao Yuchun at all, but looking at Mr. Ji who seemed to be smiling but not smiling at all, Huo Qingci spoke slowly while holding back his nausea.
"You can't control that kind of thing!"
Mr. Ji was not surprised, and the smile on his face turned sarcastic.
"Qingci, I told you many years ago that Shao Yuchun is not a good person, and he is especially sentimental!"
Huo Qingci lowered his eyes and picked up the teacup on the small round table.
"But Mr. Ji, you also said at that time that if you want to gain something, you must give up something!"
Mr. Ji nodded: "Yes!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Ji's eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure.
"It's just that I calculated more than thirty years ago that your second brother would become rich and powerful, and that the Huo family would become the largest family in China. I also calculated that the fate of the entire family would change due to the greed of the Zhang family. Huo Chen ordered Hanging by a thread.”
Huo Qingci frowned slowly.
This is what puzzled her.
"Mr. Ji, I have been paying attention to what you said abroad. After Zhang Ning's death, the Zhang family was proceeding according to the plan. Why in the end..."
The Huo family was not in decline.
So she didn't get what she wanted, and got the opportunity to return to China to pick up the slack when the Huo family was in decline, and rob the Huo Group.
Just because everything was different, that bastard Shao Yuchun was still doing things outside even though he was so old that his face was covered with age spots.
They even have to bring in their illegitimate children!
In anger, she returned from abroad with her son Shao Jing at this time.
She has been waiting for so many years, from a little girl in her early twenties to an old lady with gray hair now, and even risked her eldest brother's life in it. Why?
For the good fortune of the entire Huo family!
The result...everything has changed!
Mr. Ji was not angry either, but he would not speak rashly, let alone act rashly, before he knew the identity of Ming Zaizai.
"Why did it end up like this?"
Mr. Ji laughed softly, but there was a dark and violent look in his cloudy eyes that Huo Qingci couldn't see.
"Of course it's because Huo Chen suddenly met a noble person in his life!"
Huo Qingci blurted out, his face full of disbelief.
"Ming Zaizai?"
Mr. Ji nodded.
"Yes! It's her, Ming Zaizai!"
Huo Qingci still couldn't understand it, let alone accept it.
"Mr. Ji, I remember you said at the beginning that Huo Chenling may be destined to meet a noble person, but he won't be able to make any waves!"
Mr. Ji nodded again.
"Yes, I thought Huo Chenling's birthday and horoscope were indeed like that! But who would have thought that this noble man he met... was a bit powerful."
Huo Qingci's delicate eyebrows slowly wrinkled.
"A bit powerful? Aren't they just evil spirits one by one?"
Isn't it just an evil spirit?
Mr. Ji listened to Huo Qingci's words and sneered in his heart.
At the same time, there is also full of contempt and ridicule.
If you are not a member of Xuanmen, how would you know how powerful Ming Zaizai is?
He never understood why the Yan family fell so quickly.
Until Mr. Mo took action, the Mo family was now in a state of collapse.
There was also a trip to Guiwei Village for his son Ji Ling. Even the appearance of ghosts could not save Ming Zaizai's life. He even almost took his son Ji Ling's life and lost the Xuanmen Feilong Seal passed down by their Ji family ancestors. He There are more and more doubts in my mind.
Correspondingly, he became increasingly unwilling.
After many years of planning, the Huo family's dragon vein luck was originally in his pocket. However, after Huo Chenling was destined to meet a noble person, everything slowly changed.
Therefore, it is imperative to get rid of Ming Zaizai!
And the sooner the better.
Of course, the Ji family must be clean and not contaminated at all.
Otherwise, given how powerful Ming Zaizai is, the Ji family will most likely fold in like the Yan family and the Mo family.
That's not what he wants to see.
Therefore, Huo Qingci, Shao Jing, Grandma Huo and even those in Huojiazhuang will become pawns in his hands.
Thinking of this, Mr. Ji spoke enigmatically.
"It is indeed just an evil spirit, but this evil spirit can disguise itself and is very likely to be immortal."
Huo Qingci was dumbfounded.
If he is immortal, how can he be killed?
