Picked Up A Husband For Farming - Chapter 387

387 Appearance of the Ji Clan

“When you encounter Lin Hang, you have to be careful. If you notice anything wrong, leave immediately! Don’t force yourself, don’t underestimate the enemy, and don’t be overconfident. I don’t know how far he is in summoning the Gu King, but we have to be careful,” Xu Qing instructed worriedly. If Qiao Yanhui was implicated, she would really be helpless this time, since she wasn’t able to detox the Gu King’s poison yet! Thinking of this, she looked forward to Ying Zhiyao’s appearance even more. When would she appear…

“Alright.” Qiao Yanhui had always obeyed Xu Qing.

“By the way, your mentor hasn’t been found yet?” Xu Qing was puzzled. Tang Wanzong was really good at hiding. Qiao Yanhui and her faction had been searching for so long, but there was no sign of him!

“That old man!” Qiao Yanhui gritted his teeth in anger.

!!
“Since your mentor doesn’t want us to know yet, let’s not dwell on the background of the secret family for now. If any secret families visit or provoke us, let’s ignore them for the time being!” Xu Qing sighed.

“Yes.” Qiao Yanhui looked into the distance with determination in his eyes.

During this period of time, the atmosphere in the Qiao family was a little tense. Uncle Yu said, “Little Hui, those people are coming soon!” During this period of time, many new people had suddenly appeared in the capital. Those people were all familiar to him!

“Come if you want.” Qiao Yanhui didn’t take the Ji family seriously at all. He wouldn’t let his mother’s death go unavenged.

“But, Little Hui, there are three elders who came this time, and one of them is the First Elder!” Uncle Yu had a worried expression. For the First Elder to take action, something must have happened!

“First Elder…” Qiao Yanhui muttered. He had also heard about these elders, who had a group of extraordinary factions under them. The First Elder’s power was only slightly below that of the family head and he didn’t appear at random.

“The Ji Clan is the most powerful hidden clan in the Ancient Kingdom. Every time they appear in the Ancient Kingdom, even the Emperor has to treat them with courtesy. Otherwise, they will be punished by the Ji Clan,” Uncle Yu said with a slight frown.

Qiao Yanhui sneered. Did they really think they were gods? What right did they have to punish them?!

“Little Hui…” Uncle Yu looked at Qiao Yanhui worriedly. He knew that Qiao Yanhui was very powerful, but no one could estimate the power of a secret family.

“Uncle Yu, don’t worry. I know my limits. As for hospitality, I’ll get Ao Jie to entertain him well!” Qiao Yanhui’s eyes were cold.

Seeing Qiao Yanhui’s confident look, Uncle Yu was relieved. Perhaps what Qiao Yanhui’s mother couldn’t do, Qiao Yanhui could!

Therefore, when the Ji family came to the palace and was about to call Ao Jie to welcome them, a group of secret guards surrounded the Ji family.

“Emperor, what do you mean by this?” The Ji Clan’s elder had a gloomy expression. This was definitely the first time they had been treated so rudely in their lives.

“I prepared a welcome ceremony for you guys. Do you guys like it?” Ao Jie chuckled.

The expressions of the people from the Ji Clan turned unsightly when they heard this. This was called a welcome ceremony? This group of people was filled with killing intent! This young Emperor probably wanted to escape the control of the Ji Clan, but how could they allow this?

“Don’t be anxious.” Just as the Ji Clan’s people were about to flare up, a crisp female voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

“Saintess!” Everyone in the Ji Clan knelt down respectfully. On the surface, the status of the Ji Clan’s Saintess was only inferior to the Patriarch, but the Saintess had no power. But to be able to make the Ji Clan’s people so respectful to her now, it was obvious that this Saintess wasn’t as simple as she seemed! At least, she was more capable than Ji Qing was in the past!

“We’re guests, so we should act like guests.” The woman walked in front of them. She was wearing a white veil, and her face was half-covered, giving off a mysterious feeling.

However, Qiao Yanhui could sense that those elders were trembling! This made him narrow his eyes.

“General Qiao, you’ve been staring at me. Could it be that you fell in love with me at first sight?” The Saintess spoke with a hint of mockery.

Qiao Yanhui immediately emitted a cold killing intent and said arrogantly, “You’re not worthy!”

The woman’s body stiffened, and her killing intent disappeared in an instant. Then, her voice became a little sinister as she said, “As expected of the son of the previous Saintess. You’re quite bold!” He was worthy of her!

Qiao Yanhui sneered, but he didn’t respond.

“Qiao Yanhui, remember this. My name is Ji Yueyue. You have to call me by my name every day in the future!” Ji Yueyue’s voice carried a hint of dominance. No matter who the other party was, it was the other party’s honor to be approved by her!
