Facing the true culprit behind Uncle Lan's death, the enemy who had killed her mother whom she had never even met, Ji Zhiyan glared at Fei Ying, her eyes cold.
Du Shaofu looked at Fei Ying, then casually swept his gaze across the sky.
"Haha … Ji Tao, I know you must be nearby. You must be worried about this lowly servant girl. Don't tell me you don't even have the courage to come out now?"
Fei Ying struggled to get up. She looked up into the sky and laughed bitterly.
"Is the patriarch of the Ji family really here?"
Many people in the square looked around. The Ji Tao that Fei Ying had called out was the name of the current patriarch of the Ji family.
"It's all my fault for being a coward, all my fault …"
A calm voice came from the sky above the square. That voice caused many people's gazes to change.
Then, the figure of a middle-aged man appeared in mid-air and slowly landed not far from Ji Zhiyan.
This middle-aged man was dressed in a loose robe and had a slender figure. His long black hair was a little messy, but his face was well-defined. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.
"The patriarch is here."
Following the appearance of this middle-aged man, many people in the Ji family were in an uproar. The patriarch had not appeared in the family for the past 20 years.
Facing the sudden appearance of the middle-aged man, Du Shaofu raised his head slightly and narrowed his eyes. He was not surprised. His brows twitched slightly as he looked towards Ji Zhiyan.
Ji Zhiyan's eyes were fixed on the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared. Her gaze trembled, somewhat dazed. Then, there were some fluctuations, but she quickly regained her composure.
The middle-aged man looked at Ji Zhiyan. Under his messy hair, his eyes were apologetic, happy … and finally, complicated.
"Ji Tao, you've finally appeared, tsk tsk …"
Fei Ying looked at the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. Her expression was savage and twisted, hysterical.
"You're too vicious. My tolerance towards you has made you want a yard after taking an inch. I regret it so much …"
The middle-aged man turned back and looked at the hysterical Fei Ying. His eyes were red with remorse.
"Regret? Haha, what a joke. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard …"
Fei Ying laughed shrilly, her voice sharp and ear-piercing. She glared at Ji Tao, her eyes filled with cold resentment. "Back then, your Ji family took a fancy to my Fei family's background in Hehuan School, so you married me. But in the end, you met that slut and gave birth to a little slut. You never touched me again, and you didn't even look at me in the end. I hate you. I want to control the life and death of the Ji family. I want revenge. I want you to kneel before me and beg me one day.
"Do you really think that I don't know about the matter between you and your cousin? You secretly killed Zhiyan's mother, did you really think that I didn't notice at all?"
Ji Tao looked at Fei Ying, his eyes filled with desolation. "I was in love with Zhiyan's mother, but in the end, I killed her. In order to protect Zhiyan, I could only treat her coldly. I didn't even dare to look at her because I was afraid that you would go crazy and not even let her off. But after so many years, you have become even more vicious. This time, you are still as vicious and merciless as before."
As his voice fell, the middle-aged man slowly glanced sideways at Ji ZhiYan and said, "All of this is because of my cowardice. Your mother died because of me. Because of me, you've suffered since you were young. I'm sure you hate me now …"
Ji Zhiyan's eyes trembled. She stared at her father and asked, "You knew that my mother was killed, but you didn't avenge her. Have you ever truly loved my mother in your heart?"
Ji Tao looked at Ji Zhiyan. He was stunned for a moment before he nodded and replied, "I loved her, deeply."
"Then why didn't you avenge my mother?" Ji Zhiyan's eyes were moist.
"Strength. I wasn't strong enough. The Ji Family wasn't strong enough."
Ji Tao stared at Ji Zhiyan. "Child, I know you hate me, but I've always been worried about you in my heart. Now that you've grown up, I can finally be at ease. Remember, cultivate well in the future. Only by becoming an expert will you be able to protect everyone around you."
"I have never hated you …"
Ji Zhiyan looked at her father and shook her head. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "In my memories, even your shadow is blurred. How can I hate you? I wish so much that I could hate you, but I don't even have any memories of you. How can I hate you?"
Hearing this, Ji Tao was stunned. His eyes were lifeless.
"Nonsense, haha, Ji Tao is talking nonsense."
Fei Ying's voice was ear-piercing. She laughed coldly and said, "Your Ji Family wants to rely on my Fei Family's influence in the Hehuan School. In the end, you say that you are not strong enough. Laughable, too laughable."
Looking at Ji Zhiyan, Ji Tao sighed. He raised his head and looked at Du Shaofu. He said, "You and I don't know each other, but since you came here for Zhiyan, you must have a deep relationship with her. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father, causing her to be helpless for nineteen years. Today, I entrust Zhiyan to you. I hope that you can take good care of her for the rest of her life. This is a father's wish, and I hope that you can fulfill it."
Du Shaofu looked at Ji Tao and said, "I promised an old man in my heart that I would protect her."
"Then I am at ease."
Ji Tao nodded. The corners of his mouth lifted into a faint smile. He turned to look at Fei Ying and said, "The Ji Family wants to rely on the Fei Family to strengthen their influence. Your Fei Family also wants to ally with the Ji Family to strengthen their influence in the Hehuan School. It is mutually beneficial. But all of this is because I am weak and have too many misgivings. All these years, I have been giving in and working hard to cultivate. I hope that one day, I will become a true expert and no longer have to worry about your Fei Family. "
"Hahahaha …"
Fei Ying laughed maniacally. She looked at Ji Tao with hatred and said, "So what? That lowly girl wants to kill me. You know the consequences. Does your Ji Family really dare to touch me? If I die, my Fei Family and the Hehuan School will definitely raze your Ji Family to the ground and wash your Ji Family with blood!"
"You killed Zi Yan's mother and secretly colluded with your cousin. Even Hong 'er isn't my flesh and blood. If this matter is brought to the All Pleasure Sect, your Fei Family won't be able to defend themselves. My Ji Family isn't someone who can be trampled on!"
Ji Tao sighed and walked towards Fei Ying. The coldness in his eyes grew stronger …
"Ji Tao, what are you trying to do? If you dare to touch me, the Fei Family will definitely wash your Ji Family with blood …"
At that moment, Fei Ying seemed to have sensed something and she retreated in a sorry state.
"If I don't become weak, I will avenge Zhiyan's mother!"
As Ji Tao's voice fell, a bright rune rushed out from his palm and released a pressure. The aura of the Early Martial Honorable Realm exploded and landed on Fei Ying's body like lightning.
"Bang!"
A low explosion sounded and the space trembled. Fei Ying's eyes were filled with hatred and despair. Then, her body exploded and turned into a bloody mist.
Not far away, Ji Ruozi, Ji Ruohong and Ji Ruohuang were stunned when they saw this scene.
Ji Zhengchun's eyes were calm and his expression was indifferent.
Du Shaofu raised his eyebrows and looked at the scene in front of him quietly.
"Members of the Ji Family, listen up. As the Family Head of the Ji Family, I pass the position of Family Head to Ji Zhiyan. If there is anyone who disagrees, the Elders of the Family can kill them!"
Ji Tao looked around the square and his voice echoed in the square.
"Family Head …"
On the high platform, the members of the Ji Family trembled and they seemed to have sensed something.
"There is no need to say anymore. Our Ji Family is not strong enough. Someone has to answer to Hehuan School!"
Ji Tao waved his hands towards the platform. After that, he turned and stared at Ji ZhiYan as a smile appeared on his face. "ZhiYan, I've already avenged your mother. After so many years, your mother must be very lonely. It's about time for me to go down and accompany her."
"Boom …"
As his voice fell, Ji Tao's body shook and a terrifying aura swept out.
"No …"
At that moment, Ji Zhiyan seemed to have sensed something and her face changed. She shouted and was about to rush out.
"It's too late. It's too dangerous. Retreat!"
Du Shaofu's silhouette blocked Ji ZhiYan's path, his eyes trembling as he stared ahead.
"Bang!"
In the next second, a dazzling rune spread out from Ji Tao's body. A terrifying aura rushed out and his body exploded.
"Hualala …"
Monstrous energy swept out and shook half the sky. A large part of the square was shattered and the ground shook as if there was an earthquake!
Ji Tao's body turned into a bloody mist and scattered across the square!
"Family Head!"
The members of the Ji Family shouted and their eyes trembled. This result was beyond their expectations.
"The Family Head of the Ji Family committed suicide!"
"The Family Head of the Ji Family used this method to answer to Hehuan School. He wants to protect the Ji Family!"
Around the square, countless people were also dumbfounded, and countless people sighed.
Ji Zhiyan's eyes were filled with tears. A teardrop flowed down her cheek and dripped onto the square …
