Chapter 623: Chapter 623

Ji Jingqiu poured another cup of tea, looking puzzled.

He preferred peace in daily life, and even when he sought Dao Asking, he always stopped at the right moment. Where did this enemy come from?

"I would like to establish a connection on behalf of Jia Weiting from the Divine Power Group and make amends with Ji."

Ji Jingqiu slowly put down his teacup, his gaze as calm as still water, and looked towards Li Yinghai before he suddenly smiled:

"It seems that Professor Jia's background is even more significant than I thought."

Li Yinghai stared at Ji Jingqiu, confirming that there was no warmth in that smile.

His tone softened: "Some things are just misunderstandings, and misunderstandings can be cleared up. They are also willing to pay a price to exchange for Ji's forgiveness and turn enemies into friends."

Ji Jingqiu simply asked in a soft voice, "Then, where is the person?"

Li Yinghai fell silent for a moment.

And silence was the answer.

The reason they were unsettled, prompting him to come forward, was because they could not find any traces left by Ji Jingqiu's parents, while Ji Jingqiu's performance in the Federation was becoming more and more impressive.

Li Yinghai calmly said, "As long as Ji is willing to step back, not to mention that Ji has not yet entered the Heavenly Human realm, even if he becomes a Heavenly Person in the future, we have ways to send Ji to 'deepen his study' in All Realms."

"Oh?" Ji Jingqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Deepening studies in All Realms?"

Li Yinghai spoke slowly,

"Ji, are you aware that beyond this Great Universe, there are over Three Thousand Yanfu Realms, with the True Saint Dojo being the most respected, followed by the Ten Directions Sects."

"For outsiders, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens to enter. However, we have methods to send Heavenly Human Martial Artists there, to seek the path to open the Dao."

Li Yinghai looked at him deeply and slowly said, "These spots are rare, even the Heavenly Person Tributors who willingly join the Six Great Families can hardly share in it. The Nine Palaces of the Nine States cannot help Ji either. The Nine Palaces, despite their strength, cannot touch entities of the True Saint Level."

Ji Jingqiu's gaze turned curious.

When he entered Wuwang Mountain, he was spirited and couldn't help mocking a group of seniors from the Three Thousand Yama, not knowing whether those people would remember him...

Well, they're all big shots; they shouldn't be so petty.

If by chance they held grudges, and it happened to be those he insulted...

Wouldn't he be delivering himself to them?

"Mr. Li, I'm waiting for the day when you personally deliver Professor Jia to me," Ji Jingqiu said calmly.

Li Yinghai's eyes narrowed into a dangerous curve. He did not like the way Ji Jingqiu looked at him at the moment. Although it was a level gaze, it felt as if he was being looked down upon coldly.

The situation should have been reversed.

He was silent for a moment and did not make any harsh comments. Looking at the tea pot that was almost emptied by Ji Jingqiu, he implied:

"Our foundation might be far more substantial than Ji imagines. As precious as Heavenly Medicine is, we could also find it if desired."

On this point, Ji Jingqiu agreed.

He had ventured on the Ancient Road, overcoming many challenges, and in the end, he only brought back three Heavenly Medicines, which were still adapting to the rules of the outside world, uncertain when they would bloom and bear fruit.

With no further common ground to discuss, Li Yinghai stood up and calmly left.

As for the consequences of Ji Jingqiu's refusal, he did not mention them. His expression remained calm from beginning to end.

A condescending calm.

"Ji, it's finally my turn, and my intent is quite simple—entrusted by the elders, I come to inquire whether Ji has a marriage partner yet?"

Ke Jiran's smile was warm, extending an olive branch.

This time, Ji Jingqiu fell silent, unsure what to say for a moment.

Li Yinghai, who had just reached the gate of the small courtyard, suddenly paused mid-step, then heavily settled his foot down, leaving a distinct footprint on the ground.

Ke Jiran glanced in the direction where Li Yinghai departed and smiled: "Ji, rest assured, we have no relations with that Professor Jia."

Ji Jingqiu contemplated.

Not learning from past lessons?

If things are exposed in the future, will the Ke family develop a desperate vendetta against him?

"Mr. Mao, how long do you think it will take for Ji Jingqiu to Breakthrough into the Heavenly Person realm?"

On the way back, Li Yinghai suddenly asked.

Mao Yanqing pondered slightly and said, "The talent and flair of this lad are extremely high. Ever since he stepped onto the path of Martial Arts, he has been advancing rapidly. He has now reached Heart Proving Fetal Breath, and the Heavenly Human Boundary probably won't hold him back too long. I estimate five to ten years, and the Federation will witness the birth of another Heavenly Person."

"That means within five years." Li Yinghai nodded to himself, regretfully saying, "Such outstanding talent, it's a pity we didn't secure him earlier."

Mao Yanqing replied calmly, "There was no opportunity. As soon as this child entered the central area, he became involved with Zhuang Butong, and Li Xuantian from the main branch sought to use Zhuang Butong's life as bait to find a cure for the young Li Yingtian."

Li Yinghai sighed, "I know, just thinking about it, there aren't that many opportunities for picking up the remains. As for Ke Jiran... "

He paused and sneered, "They really aren't afraid of history repeating itself! To think they even approached another Ji!"

Mao Yanqing suddenly said, "I advise you not to make enemies with Ji Jingqiu on account of those people. He seems to maintain a good relationship with the Divine Temple, and he is likely to be He Commander's successor. The Federation officials will definitely support him."

Li Yinghai calmly said, "I know, this was just a probe of his attitude. Next time, it won't be me coming forward."

"As for the Divine Temple..."

He said expressionlessly, "We've had enough of these endless cursed days."

The world only knows that the Six Great Families stand aloof, often hidden behind the Federation, but they don't know that the heirs of the Six Families, generation after generation, not only have a difficult time inheriting but also often pass away prematurely.
