Chapter 117: Ji Di's Heart Knot
On the first day of the ninth month, as soon as it was dark, Ji Di suddenly appeared in the Gongzhou Lord's Mansion like a ghost. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, Jing Hong was eating barbecue with Duanmu Zixuan, Tuoba Zixiong, Tuoba Xueyu, and Tuoba Mingxiao in the back garden of the Lord's Mansion against the cold stars.
Taken by his powerful coercion, the maids' legs seemed to have their own consciousness, and they all fell to their knees with a thud.
Duanmu Zixuan and Tuoba Zixiong had already heard that Jinghong might have visitors recently, so after being surprised, they both turned their eyes to Jinghong.
Tuoba Xueyu's mouth opened slightly, and he looked at the red-clothed young man in front of Jinghong with a dull expression, and he didn't even notice that the barbecue skewer in his hand had fallen to the ground.
Tuoba Mingxiao's big eyes flickered and flickered full of curiosity, and his little head turned around, looking at the eldest sister Jinghong for a while, and Ji Di who suddenly appeared for a while.
Jinghong stood up with a headache, and then beckoned to Ji Di, who was silently staring at her but didn't say a word, "You come with me!"
After speaking, she looked at Duanmu Zixuan again, "Mother, you eat first, don't wait for me." ”
Duanmu Zixuan hurriedly nodded, "Mother knows." ”
Jinghong took Ji Di back to the guest house where she lived.
handed a cup of brewed spiritual tea to Ji Di, and Jing Hong sat down at the table.
She took a slow sip of the tea in her cup, and then asked Ji Di with a smile on her face, "Why don't you speak?"
Ji Di stretched out his hand and pointed at Jinghong's face, "I'm not used to it." ”
Jing Hong smiled, "If you see too much, you will naturally get used to it." ”
Ji Di glared at her.
He didn't believe that she couldn't hear what he meant, and he dared to play stupid with him!
Jing Hong took out a plate of spirit fruits and put it on the low table in front of the two of them, "It's been so long, and you're still blaming me?"
Ji Di picked up a pale yellow spirit fruit and took a bite as if he was angry, "Shouldn't I blame you?"
Jing Hong spread his hands, "I don't want to, I didn't have any other way at that time." ”
Ji Di was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh, "What are you going to do in the future?"
Jing Hong smiled, "Of course I will continue to cultivate immortals, otherwise what else can I do?"
Ji Di glanced at her, "You don't plan to stay in that small sect called the Jiyun Gang all the time, right?"
Jing Hong shook his head, "Naturally not." I can't even wait impatiently for Jiuli Mountain, how can I trap myself in a small gang of humans. ”
Ji Di was silent for a long time.
Jinghong refilled some tea for himself, "Do you have something on your mind?"
Ji Di raised his head, "Auntie, I won't give you back the position of the patriarch." ”
His voice was a little harsh, but his expression was very resolute, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.
Jing Hong's eyes softened, "What are you talking about, didn't I ask Yun Qi to hand over the patriarch's token to you?"
Ji Di's eyes dimmed, "My aunt treats me like a mountain, but I ......"
"Stop! stop! stop!" Jing Hong interrupted his self-examination with a smile, "Ji Di, have you been the patriarch for a long time, and your brain has rusted away? What did I work so hard to cultivate you? Have you forgotten? Or when have you seen me nostalgic for that position?"
An embarrassed blush flashed on Ji Di's white jade-like delicate and flawless face - he really, it had not been a long time since he had been reprimanded like this.
Don't say that he has been in charge of the fox clan as the acting patriarch for many years, even when Jinghong was still Ji Rong, and he was only her nephew and disciple, he has always only been praised by others.
In particular, Jinghong's satisfaction with him has reached the point where everyone knows about it, even if it is the lowest demon soldier on Jiuli Mountain, there is not a single one who doesn't know how their fox god Lord protects her, the only disciple in the room.
And now, Jinghong has expressed his dissatisfaction with him so clearly.
He knew that this was the evidence that Jinghong didn't blame him, but the secret guilt in his heart made him unable to forgive himself like that.
If it weren't for him showing his talent for handling the affairs of the clan too early, Jing Hong would not have abandoned his job to him so quickly, and then sneaked out to play with Yu Ling and Yun Qi every day.
Then she was later plotted by the masters of the hostile forces, so that she had to die with the other party, naturally it would not have happened.
But he, the nephew and disciple she had put the most effort into cultivating in her previous life, took the position that should have belonged to her after her disappearance, and he didn't plan to come down again as soon as he sat down.
How smart Jinghong is, even if she doesn't have the nine-tailed fox's talent for foreknowledge and touch, she can still quickly guess the complicated mood of Ji Di who she has cultivated at this time.
She pushed Ji Di's cup of spiritual tea in front of him, and motioned for him to take a sip of water first.
Ji Di's eyes were sour, and he hurriedly took the opportunity to hold the cup and lowered his head, and then forced back the tears that almost flowed out.
Jing Hong sighed secretly in his heart, but there was still a soft smile on his face, "Ji Di, you know that I am most annoyed by those trivial and boring things, if I am not the last princess of the nine-tailed fox, I will definitely not agree to the elders to succeed to the position of patriarch." ”
Ji Di opened his mouth to speak, but Jinghong waved his hand to stop him.
"But you must not know, in fact, long before you were born, before my brother ascended, I was actually looking for my successor. Speaking of this, Jing Hong suddenly smiled slyly, "I have always felt that the most important task after I sit in that position is to train a qualified successor as soon as possible, and then let him suffer instead of me." So, Ji Di, I've always been grateful to you. ”
Ji Di's voice was a little choked, "Auntie, thank you." ”
Shocking Hong smiled, "Aren't you talking stupidly again?" Think about it yourself, how much you have helped me over the past thousands of years, and how many more free and easy days have been for me. I know you think that if you hadn't taken care of the clan affairs in my place, I wouldn't have been plotted against for running out all the time. But have you ever thought that even if I knew that someone would plot against me, I still had to run out. ”
Ji Di's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's exactly what I thought. Even if I was forced to be reincarnated, I don't regret sneaking out in the first place. I only regret that I didn't work hard enough in my cultivation and wasn't smart enough to defeat those guys. Jing Hong pointed to his finger in distress as he spoke, "I didn't want to be honest with you, I know you will definitely be angry with me for not repenting, but I don't want you to always blame yourself." ”
Ji Di was amused and moved, and at the same time faintly angry and helpless.
"You ......" he held back for a long time, but in the end he just let out a long sigh, "what do you want me to say about you?"
