When Ji Li saw the girl's actions, she remembered that Ying Zijin had also mentioned the invitation to her.
That was why she ran back happily to tell her.
She didn't expect that she could really go to the ancient martial arts world and even attend an auction that was only held once a year.
Ji Yihang paused in the act of putting on his clothes.
Mrs. Ji was stunned.
They looked at the table full of invitations and were shocked by the generosity. They were a little stunned.
The invitations were colorful, and a few of them even had names written on them. They were all names of ancient poems.
Yearning for a long time, Remembering Nu Jiao, Meeting Joy, Dreamy Token …
Not only was Ji Yihang looking for the invitation, but Mrs. Ji was also looking for it.
That medicine was refined by an elder in the ancient martial arts world. It could cure all kinds of diseases, so she wanted to bid for it and give it to her father.
She had seen the photo of the invitation in the inner courtyard.
The invitation jointly issued by the ancient martial arts world and the ancient medicine world was different from the outside world.
There would be a special seal from the judicial hall on it, and an Ice Heart Flower would be included in the invitation.
The Ice Heart Flower was a transparent plant. One could clearly see the veins on the leaves and petals. It was only the size of a pinky finger.
It didn't have any special effects, but it could calm the heart. It was better than the sachets bought outside.
Only a small number of ancient doctors knew how to refine the Ice Heart Flower.
The successfully refined Ice Heart Flower was very popular in the ancient martial arts world.
Because the inner strength in the body of an ancient martial artist tended to be violent, the inner strength could go berserk if one was careless during cultivation.
The Ice Heart Flower could help an ancient martial artist calm his mind and reduce the possibility of inner strength going berserk.
There were as many Ice Heart Flowers as there were invitations here.
Only the Hall of Justice would be able to do such a thing.
After a while, Mrs. Ji reluctantly came back to her senses. "Yaoyao, your invitation is …"
"I just took a random stack." Ying Zijin looked and repeated Fu Yunshen's words. "It's just paper."
Ji Yihang: "…"
Mrs. Ji: "…"
Ji Li: "…"
Was this the invitation in the eyes of the big shots?
Ji Li lowered his head silently.
However, it was indeed paper.
"Yaoyao, thank you." Mrs. Ji's lips moved and the tears in her eyes fell. She raised her hand and wiped them away. "Thank you so much. I'm useless. I don't know what I can do to help you …"
Ji Li also felt terrible, "Mom …"
If she could, she would rather they were an ordinary family.
But he couldn't.
Disciples of the Ji Clan were not allowed to leave the clan.
Once he left, the only outcome was death.
This was the rule of the Inner Yard, and it was also set by the main family of the ancient martial arts world. It had not been changed until now.
The Ji family was too cruel. Ji Li had even imagined that she would be executed if she broke the rules when she was in junior high school.
The Ji family's competitive style originated from the ancient martial arts world.
If he could not suppress the ancient martial arts world, it would be useless even if he controlled the Ji family.
However, the main family had lasted for more than a hundred years, and they had ancient martial arts. How could ordinary people like them fight against them?
However, she finally saw hope now.
"My father's return was also one of the reasons why Ji Yiyuan attacked Second Uncle." Ying Zijin supported her and lowered her eyes. "I'm responsible. I'll bear the responsibility."
Mrs. Ji continued to wipe her tears, but her tone was very serious. "Yaoyao, this is not your responsibility. It's Ji Yiyuan's problem. If you take it as our responsibility, it will be the victim's fault."
The perpetrator was the root of the problem.
Ying Zijin was silent for a moment. "I understand."
"Zijin, can you really choose?" Ji Yi Hang didn't expect that he would be able to see so many invitations from the Ji Clan. He thought that he was dreaming.
"Yes." Ying Zijin nodded. "It will take some time to go to the ancient martial arts world. Once you've chosen, we can leave now."
Ji Yihang nodded and looked at them seriously. He picked up one of the invitations. "I'll choose 'Yearning for a long time'. Madam, what I want to say is in these three words."
Mrs. Ji did not say anything, but she was obviously very happy.
Ying Zijin put away the other invitations. "Let's go."
Ji Li could not stand it and complained behind them. "Yingshen, look at them. They're an old couple and they're still like this. They don't pay attention to the consequences."
She was the only one who was single.
How petty.
Sigh.
**
On Ji Yiyuan's side.
He specifically said that he was going to give the invitations to others, but it was a lie. He was only using it to force Ji Yihang.
Ji Yiyuan was confident in his victory.
Ji Yihang and his wife were very loving. Ji Yihang would definitely make a choice for his father-in-law.
However, Ji Yiyuan waited for a full hour, but Ji Yihang did not come. Finally, he was a little impatient.
"Dad, Ji Yihang is not coming?" Ji Yundong looked at the time. "We have to go. Professor Yan has already gone to the door. We can't let the main family wait."
They needed a pass to go to the ancient martial arts world. They did not have it with them, so they had to be led by the main family.
"It's up to you whether he comes or not." Ji Yiyuan sneered. "Anyway, it's not me who killed his father-in-law. When the time comes, when his father-in-law dies, we'll spread the news in the Ji family."
"Say that he doesn't even care about his father-in-law for his own career. Just wait and see. His reputation in the Ji family will be ruined sooner or later."
This was Ji Yiyuan's second move.
Because this kind of thing had happened before.
In order to cover up unpleasant rumors, the inner court would also execute some family members.
"Dad, anyway, this move of yours is really good." Ji Yundong smiled. "After this, Ji Yihang and his wife will definitely be at odds. He really deserves it."
"You reap what you sow." Ji Yiyuan sneered again. "Let's go."
Since Ji Yihang did not know what was good for him, he would wait for Ji Yihang's miserable end.

Five o 'clock in the afternoon.
Ji Yihang, his wife, Ji Li, and Wen Fengmian came to the ancient martial arts world for the first time.
Ji Li looked at it curiously. "It's even more real than those ancient TV dramas. I thought I had transmigrated."
"Yes." Ying Zijin introduced it as they walked. "The ancient martial arts world has a long history. It can be considered an ancient site."
The auction was held in the center of the city of justice in a big restaurant.
The architectural style of the restaurant was still ancient. Outside, there were guards from the judicial hall wearing armor.
They surrounded the restaurant and guarded it tightly.
After all, there were always some ancient martial artists who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth who wanted to sneak in and steal the auction items.
Mrs. Ji exclaimed, "So the ancient martial arts world is like this. It's really like a period drama."
"Sigh, I suddenly don't like the ancient martial arts world." Ji Li raised her phone and was very depressed. "My phone has no signal."
Ying Zijin pressed her head.
She forgot that the ancient martial arts world rejected the outside world's high-tech.
There were wifi and signal transmitters, but they did not cover all of them.
At least there were none in the restaurant.
Phones and computers were indeed quite useless in the ancient martial arts world.
"Xiao Li, don't play with your phone so much." Mrs. Ji disagreed. "It's bad for your eyes."
"I'm doing data for Yingshen."
"Then you play with it."
"…"
At this moment, Wen Fengmian suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head and his gaze fell not far away. His expression changed slightly.
Wen Fengmian rarely showed any strange emotions. Ying Zijin noticed it immediately. "Dad?"
She followed Wen Fengmian's gaze and looked over.
It was a very well-dressed woman wearing high heels and a shawl wrapped around her cheongsam.
She was already forty-five years old, but she took good care of herself and looked like she was only in her early thirties.
She was indeed very beautiful.
However, because her appearance was too outstanding, it made her temperament even more vulgar.
The woman also noticed them and was momentarily stunned and in disbelief.
Wen Fengmian had already retracted his gaze. "Let's go."
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes. She had an idea in her heart and nodded.
The five of them entered the restaurant.
The hall on the first floor was for individual seats. The second floor was for private rooms.
To be able to get an invitation to the second floor, one had to have power or money.
Although the staff in charge of checking the invitations had never seen Ying Zijin and the others before, they were still much more respectful.
"Second uncle, your 'Sauvignon Yearning' is here. Dad and I will go to 'Serenity Delight'. It's just opposite." Ying Zijin pointed at the name of the private room. "If there's anything, look for me."
"Okay." Ji Yihang agreed. "Later, I'll ask your second aunt to make gourd chicken for you. I swear, I won't crave chicken drumsticks this time."
"…"
**
On the other side.
In the private room of Spring Jade.
The woman's face was very pale and her footsteps were weak. After sitting down, she forced herself to calm down.
"Madam, what's wrong?" The housekeeper who followed the woman in saw that her expression was not right. Her face was still a little pale. "Are you feeling unwell?"
The temperature in the ancient martial arts world was the same throughout the year. There was only one season.
It was like spring all year round, neither cold nor hot. It was very suitable for cultivation.
However, the woman felt that her body was cold. She could not help but wrap herself in a shawl. Her eyes avoided the housekeeper's gaze. "No, nothing. I accidentally twisted my leg just now."
The housekeeper nodded. He was still concerned. "Master is still busy and will be here in a while. Madam, please wait here for now. If you need anything, just call me."
After he finished speaking, he left.
The woman's expression was still a little absent-minded. Her fingernails that were holding the cup had turned white.
Why did Wen Fengmian return to the Ji family?
Didn't he stay in Qingshui County and refuse to go back?
She had endured for five years and plotted to give birth to two children. However, she still could not make Wen Fengmian return to the Ji family.
However, Wen Fengmian did treat her well.
During those five years, Wen Fengmian lived in poverty. However, she did not. She still wore gold and silver and lived a good life.
Wen Fengmian gave all his assets to her. Later, she used these assets to escape successfully.
However, she was interested in the Ji family. She had no feelings for Wen Fengmian.
If she did not know that Wen Fengmian was a member of the Ji family, would she have lived with him for so long?
If Wen Fengmian had returned to the Ji family earlier, she would have been very happy.
However, she could not do so now.
She could not let Wen Fengmian appear in the ancient martial arts world. Absolutely not.
This would affect her daughter's status and identity.
The woman's eyes were gloomy. She held the teacup tightly and slowly took a sip of tea to calm herself down.
**
At this time, outside the auction house.
Yan Ruoxue and Ji Yiyuan also came.
The invitations sent out by the Ji family were all for individual seats.
Yan Ruoxue and Ji Yiyuan could only wait for the auction on the first floor.
Because Yan Ruoxue was not a member of the Ji family, only Ji Yihang followed the Ji family's guards to the second floor to greet the Ji family's master.
Ji Yiyuan was very surprised. "Sir, what's the difference between the first and second floor?"
The guards on the second floor were the guards on the first floor.
They were all Ancient Martial Artists with profound cultivation, not the kind of Martial Disciples around him.
These Ancient Martial Artists did not release their Inner Strength, but the murderous aura they exuded was enough to suffocate him.
"There's a big difference. This is a private room, which represents a noble status. The Ji family only has one." The guard glanced at Ji Yiyuan. "The Ji family's master, mistress, and a few elders are here. You can just greet them. Do you still want to stay here?"
Ji Yiyuan shuddered in fright and asked again, "May I ask how long this auction will last, my lord?"
"If it's fast, it will end today." The guard answered this question. "If it's slow, it's not impossible for it to last three days and three nights. However, I don't know if you can hold on."
Ji Yiyuan wiped his sweat.
Ancient Martial Artists could not eat, drink, or sleep for a few days or even a month. It was indeed not a big deal.
However, he was an ordinary person and could not hold on for long.
However, it did not matter. At least he could come to watch the auction. As for Ji Yihang?
Ji Yihang could only cry at his father-in-law's grave in the future.
Serves him right.
Ji Yiyuan sneered in his heart and followed the guard to the private room where the Ji family was located.
He also looked at the names of the private rooms and sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, the ancient martial arts world still continued the ancient style of Hua Dynasty.
Ji Yiyuan was walking with the guard when the door of a private room opened.
The guard immediately stopped Ji Yihang and said coldly, "We have to be respectful to the people in the private room. Make way first."
Ji Yiyuan nodded and glanced casually. He saw the name of the private room — Sauvignon Blanc.
He also knew that the people who could enter the private room must have a much higher status than him.
They were all Ancient Martial Artists and did not dare to provoke them.
The door opened and Ji Yiyuan looked over.
Ji Yihang and Ji Li walked out from inside.
