Chapter 83: Ji Moyuan's Little Schemes

~7 min read 1,308 words

In a Villa, Ji Moyuan sat on the sofa, seemingly waiting for something.

Before long, a tall man walked in hurriedly.

"How did the investigation I asked you to conduct go?" Ji Moyuan asked.

The tall man took a file folder from his chest and placed it on the table: "Young Master, the information we collected is all here."

"Mm." Ji Moyuan picked up the file folder in front of him, opened it, pulled out a stack of documents, and began to read them carefully.

"Hmm, no matter which aspect I look at, this Luo Yexi is just an ordinary person, but I always feel something is not right. Ada, is this really all the information you collected about her?" After finishing the documents in his hand, Ji Moyuan asked.

"Young Master, this is indeed all the information we could collect. We used a portion of the family's power, and her records had no confidentiality measures either. I don't think this girl has anything special about her," the person called Ada answered earnestly.

"No confidentiality measures, nothing special?" A noncommittal smile appeared on Ji Moyuan's face. "A top-tier beauty like her, capable of stirring my Inner Strength—if there were nothing special about her, how could she have remained a virgin until now? Investigate, keep investigating. This girl is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Yes, Young Master." Ada nodded, though he was still somewhat dismissive in his heart. She was clearly just a girl without any backing; wouldn't it be enough to just snatch her back? Why be so cautious? They were people from the Ji Family; in this country, who would dare not give them some face?

Just as Ada was thinking about when to find an opportunity to kidnap Luo Yexi and send her to Ji Moyuan's bed, another man in black walked in hurriedly.

"Young Master, I have an important matter to report," the man in black said in a deep voice to Ji Moyuan.

"Speak, A'er, what matter could make you return to find me in such a rush?" Ji Moyuan put down the documents in his hand.

"I just received news that the Tianyin Sect has the intention to take Luo Yexi as a disciple, seemingly because Luo Yexi displayed astonishing musical talent at that orientation party..." A'er said.

"Mm, the Tianyin Sect's strength has been far inferior to the past these years and is already showing a trend of decline; it is natural they wouldn't let go of such a good seedling. However, it is merely a Tianyin Sect; our Ji Family does not take them seriously. Rather, if the Young Master expressed a desire for one of their disciples to serve in his bed, they would probably tie her up and bring her over themselves. They are dying to have a connection with our Ji Family," Ada interrupted A'er.

A'er looked at Ada's behavior and knew this reckless guy was thinking about kidnapping again. Did he not know how much trouble he had already caused the Young Master? If it weren't for the Young Master shielding him, and the Young Master himself possessing extraordinary abilities, the grass on his grave would already be three feet high.

"The situation is not as you think. The information I collected is that Luo Yexi refused the Tianyin Sect's invitation, which resulted in an Elder of the Tianyin Sect attacking in anger, only to be severely injured by a mysterious Innate Expert. Now, that Elder is still lying in bed. Moreover, the injury is extremely strange; the people of the Tianyin Sect have invited many famous doctors, but all are helpless. And that Innate Expert is rumored to be Luo Yexi's master," A'er glanced at Ada and said coldly.

"Innate Expert?" Ada's heart skipped a beat. He was currently only at the Mysterious Tier Late Stage; in front of an Innate Expert, he was no different from an ant. Going to snatch a beauty who had an Innate Expert as a master to serve his Young Master—how was that any different from seeking death? Thinking of this, Ada couldn't help but shiver.

"Hehe, interesting. This Luo Yexi is indeed not an ordinary person, to actually have an Innate Expert as a backer." Ji Moyuan laughed at this moment.

As a member of the Ji Family, he naturally knew how powerful Innate Experts were; after all, there were many Innate Experts in his family. However, he was not as wary of Innate Experts as others were. After all, the Ji Family had many Innate Experts, and there were even Xiantian Ultimate experts; this was the confidence of a thousand-year-old aristocratic family.

"A'er, return to the family and invite my father over. At the same time, have the family prepare the betrothal gifts. Mm, explain the matter of this Luo Yexi to my old man, as well as the fact that there is an Innate Expert behind her," Ji Moyuan instructed.

"Young Master, what do you mean?" Ada asked with some surprise.

"A woman with an Innate Expert as a backer is barely enough to be my concubine. Mm, and there are a few others to come as dowry," Ji Moyuan smiled, his gaze already drifting toward Busujima Saeko and the others. As for Lingyun, he was just an insignificant little character and was directly ignored by him.

"Yes, I will go handle it immediately." A'er nodded and left the hall.

"Luo Yexi, even if you have an Innate Expert behind you, you won't escape my grasp!" A look of determination flashed in Ji Moyuan's eyes. "Ada, I have something to instruct you!"

"What does the Young Master have in mind?" Ada asked.

"I heard there are quite a few flies around Luo Yexi; go and pay them a visit one by one for me!" Ji Moyuan waved his hand faintly.

"Yes, Young Master." A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Ada's face, and he strode out of the hall.

Luo Yexi did not know about the little schemes Ji Moyuan was plotting behind her back, and she probably wouldn't care even if she did. In her mind, anything unrelated to her master was not a big deal. At this moment, she was looking at Lingqi, who was sitting beside her, with a curious expression.

"Lingqi, what kind of weapon are you good at?" Luo Yexi asked Lingqi with some interest. Lingyun had once said that Lingqi might have once possessed strength even greater than hers.

"Weapon? I don't remember, but it doesn't seem to be a cold weapon." Lingqi shook her head, then leaned her body directly against Lingyun.

Watching Lingqi's actions, Luo Yexi couldn't help but twitch her eyes. According to what Lingqi said, the aura Lingyun emitted had the effect of alleviating the side effects the nightmares brought her, but that wasn't a reason for her to lean against Lingyun so openly, right?

Watching Lingqi leaning on him, Lingyun was also somewhat helpless. It seemed that because she was gradually getting familiar with them, Lingqi had begun to show some of her own personality, and being "black-bellied" was one of them.

"Ara, since when did you and Lingyun get so close, Lingqi? Is it because you were moved by being saved, so you decided to offer yourself in return?" Busujima Saeko brought a plate of fruit and placed it on the table, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.

"Mm, I can consider it. After all, an excellent man like Lingyun is really hard to find," Lingqi countered calmly.

"Is that so? Big sister likes big brother, and Alice likes big brother too," Alice said cutely, while burrowing into Lingyun's arms and winking at Lingqi as a show of defiance.

Watching the sparks flying between them, Lingyun changed the subject: "We are leaving tomorrow. This world is not a safe world; are you all ready?"

"Ready." Everyone nodded.
