Chapter 9: Confessions
Moving the big iron basin out and pouring out the turbid soup inside, Ji Fan sat back on the slate bed.
Enter the fetal breath and continue to cultivate.
It wasn't until early in the morning that he opened his eyes, and a knowing smile appeared in his eyes.
When the realm was low, it was easy to make a breakthrough in cultivation, and after nearly two hours of cultivation, he had already advanced to the fourth order of the Star Bone Realm.
Of course, this promotion, in addition to the help of ancient prescriptions, it turned out that Ji Fan's years of accumulation also played a role.
The large number of previous lives has brought great benefits to Ji Fan in this life, which is one of the things he relies on to have the confidence to become a strong man.
He still has many ways to quickly improve his strength, but none of them is easy for him to do at present.
The easiest way is to continue to buy star essence medicinal materials to refine yourself and lay a solid foundation for your body.
In the two initial realms of the Star Bone Realm and the Star Body Realm, the focus of cultivation is to make the body stronger, and the stimulation and effect of the medicine can accelerate this cultivation process and save a lot of time.
His Star Coins had already been spent, and without Star Coins, let alone Star Crystals, he would not be able to obtain Star Essence Medicinal Materials.
"Looks like we'll have to find a way to earn more Star Coins. ”
Ji Fan thought about it carefully, but he also thought of several ways to earn star coins and even star crystals.
The Ji family is not short of star coins, but the attitude of the Ji family makes Ji Fan very cold, he doesn't think that the Ji family will give him more star coins, and he doesn't want to rely on the Ji family emotionally.
Because of his special situation, he must be careful in everything he does, once his true identity and origin are revealed, I am afraid that the world is so big that there may not be a place for him.
Fortunately, there were no strong people in the Ji family in Bailian City, and no one had even cultivated star sense, and they couldn't perceive Ji Fan's abnormal skills.
"Young Master Fan, Young Master Fan, it's not good, it's not good......"
As soon as Ji Fan jumped off the stone bed, he heard Ji Quan's panicked shouting outside the door.
He opened the door, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Young Master Fan, the head of the family, he, he ...... He's gone!"
Ji Quan looked frightened, and even stammered.
"What?"
Ji Fan's face also changed slightly, and asked, "When is it?"
"I just found out, and I don't know what the situation is. ”
Ji Quanqiang calmed down and said, "Now everyone is in the courtyard where the head of the family lives, you can go and have a look!"
"Hmm. ”
Ji Fan nodded, and then walked out of the stone house quickly.
No matter what, at the moment, his identity is still a young master of this family, and Ji Wanshan is his grandfather, and his grandfather died, of course he can't ignore it.
The courtyard where Ji Wanshan lives is also in the depths of the Ji family's mansion, very close to the Ji family's account room and warehouse.
There was a row of Ji family's guards at the gate of this courtyard, and when they saw that it was Ji Fan coming, they dodged a gap, allowing Ji Fan to enter the courtyard and blocking Ji Quan.
The yard is very large, with a lot of flowers and plants, and it looks more like a small garden, and the environment is quiet and elegant.
Along a bluestone path, Ji Fan soon reached the depths of the courtyard and could already hear bursts of crying.
He came to an attic and saw many ladies of the Ji family, all of whom were crying and looking very sad.
He nodded to the ladies and then walked into the attic with a solemn face.
On the first floor of the attic, he saw Ji Ye, Ji Hao and other young generations of the Ji family, everyone was standing, their expressions were gloomy, and their eyes were fluttering.
Everyone was waiting here, and Ji Fan naturally didn't dare to move around, so he also stood in the middle and waited patiently.
He knew that the head of the family, Ji Wanshan, usually rested on the second floor of this attic, and Ji Changlie, Ji Changyuan and other big figures of the Ji family should be on the second floor at this time.
Ji Fan was quite puzzled in his heart, Ji Wanshan was fine last night, why did he pass away this morning?
Could it be because I drank that cup of Star Dome Wonderland?
Probably not, it's a rare wine, and drinking it should only have benefits and no harm.
"Come up, all of you. ”
After Ji Fan came here for a cup of tea, Ji Changlie appeared at the staircase on the second floor and beckoned to the people below.
A group of young Ji family members walked up the stairs and went up to the second floor.
On the second floor is a slightly larger quiet room, which is very simply furnished, with only a wooden bed, a tea table, a desk, and two wooden chairs.
At this time, Ji Wanshan was lying on the wooden bed with his eyes closed, covered with a thin white mattress, with a sallow face and no vitality.
As Ji Fan expected, Ji Changlie and other big figures of the Ji family in Bailian City were here, and in addition to them, Ji Yunyi and Li Caihe were also there.
Ji Yunyi's face was very light, and he sat on a wooden chair without joy and carelessness, while the hunchbacked old man stood silently behind him.
The other wooden chair was sat by Li Caihe, her face was also very calm, but when she saw Ji Fan, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
Ji Fan just nodded slightly, he didn't dare to show a smile at this time, but looking at Li Caihe's relaxed expression, he thought that Ji Wanshan's death had little to do with her.
"Grandfather, why did you just leave like this!"
"Grandfather, I'm Hao'er!"
"Grandfather ......"
Just when Ji Fan was stunned, Ji Ye, Ji Hao and others all knelt on the edge of the wooden bed, crying loudly, looking sad.
Ji Fan couldn't let himself behave too abnormally, and he also knelt on the side of the bed, but he didn't cry.
It would be abnormal for him to cry, after all, he has always suffered from cold eyes in the Ji family, and he has no deep feelings with anyone in the Ji family now.
"Everyone is here, and there are some things that need to be told to everyone. ”
After Ji Changlie coughed twice, he motioned for everyone to calm down first, followed him out of a blank piece of paper, and continued: "This is the will of the old master, here he has explained a few things, and it happens that Young Master Yunyi is also here today, please ask him to do a verification for us." ”
After that, Ji Changlie handed over the white paper with bright red handwriting to Ji Yunyi.
As the head of the Ji family in Bailian City, if Ji Wanshan dies, his will must be sent to the clan in Hedong County, but since Ji Yunyi, who came on behalf of the clan, is still there, it is enough to give him a look.
After Ji Yunyi took the blank paper, he stood up, first greeted Ji Wanshan who was lying on the bed, followed by the white paper, and began to recite the will.
The will is nothing more than an explanation of the future, encouraging future generations to work hard, pointing out the future development route of the family, and declaring who will be the next head of the family.
There was no accident, Ji Wanshan passed the position of head of the family to his eldest son Ji Changlie.
It's just that to everyone's great surprise, in the will, Ji Wanshan actually expressed his guilt for his third son Ji Changfeng, and also stated that he would give Ji Fan 1.5 million star coins as compensation.
One and a half million star coins is also a lot of money for the Ji family of Bailian City.
Hearing this, even Ji Fan himself couldn't help but be stunned.
"The date of the signing of this will is a month ago, and it was written by Ji Wanshan's blood, and there is no suspicion of forgery. ”
"Its content does not contradict the clan rules of the county city in the slightest, you need to carefully understand the essence of it, and don't let down his wishes. ”
"When I return to the county, I will explain this to the clan. ”
"From today on, Ji Changlie is the head of our Ji family's branch in Bailian City. ”
Ji Yunyi read the will first, and briefly expressed his attitude, and then returned the will to Ji Changlie.
"Young Master Xie Yunyi. ”
Putting away his father's will, Ji Changlie looked at Ji Fan and said, "In recent years, I have been in charge of the family's accounts and treasury, and I know very well that the family can't take out 1.5 million star coins at all at once. I think that your 1.5 million star coins can be withdrawn year by year, and 150,000 yuan can be withdrawn every year, which can reduce the pressure on the family. I don't know what the virtuous nephew thinks?"
"Yes. ”
Ji Fan could only nod, he knew very well that even if Ji Wanshan's will testified, Ji Changlie would not dare to repay the debt, and he would not let him easily take away so many star coins.
Besides, right now, Ji Wanshan has just passed away, and in front of so many Ji family members, it is not good for him to be too stingy.
"I don't think it's good to receive it year by year. ”
Li Caihe, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up and said: "On the way here, I heard Ji Yunyi say that although the Ji family of Bailian City needs to hand over the harvested lotus seeds to the county clan, the county clan will also give you at least one million star coins, and this year coincides with you handing over lotus seeds, and you have at least one million star coins in your treasury, plus your years of accumulation, I think it is no problem to take out one million and a half million star coins at once." ”
"Uh......"
Ji Changlie felt embarrassed, he wanted to point to Li Caihe's nose and say, we don't need to take care of the affairs of our Ji family, a little girl, but if you give him 10,000 guts, he can only think about it in his heart, and he doesn't dare to say it.
"Miss Caihe, this is someone's family matter. ”
Ji Yunyi reminded in a low voice.
"Miss Caihe doesn't know, those lotus seeds can only mature once every three years, and the star coins that the clan gave us when they took away the lotus seeds are our biggest input, a huge family, it takes a lot of expenses every year, and one million star coins are used for three years, in fact, there is not much surplus. ”
Ji Changlie opened his mouth to explain, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart.
This will, after his father wrote it, was handed directly to him, and he already knew its contents.
Regarding the content of the will, he also said that he gave it to his son Ji Ye, and Ji Ye was naturally very shocked and angry that Ji Fan was able to obtain such a large amount of star coins.
You must know that after Ji Wanshan passed away, the Ji family was Ji Changlie's, and the Ji family's star coins were Ji Changlie's father and son's...... That's what Ji Ye thinks in his mind.
In order to let Ji Fan not get this star coin, Ji Ye, with the acquiescence of his father Ji Changlie, colluded with Ji Quan, colluded with Ji Hao, and calculated Ji Fan once, but Ji Fan was not killed, nor was he kicked out of the house by the head of the family.
It's just that there are distinguished guests at home in the past few days, otherwise they will definitely not give up, and there will be plans against Ji Fan.
"I have a solution. ”
Li Caihe said as if he was serious: "I can lend you the Ji family one million star coins first, so that you can fulfill the last wish of the old family master." ”
"This ......"
Ji Changlie was very surprised, and he didn't know how to answer.
"However, I may not have time to come to Bailian City to collect the account in the future, I will go to the Ji family in Hedong County to collect this account. ”
Li Caihe looked at Ji Yunyi again and asked, "In this matter, you, the eldest young master, should be able to be the master of the house, right?"
