The head of the Ji family was startled and let out a long sigh.
Ji Yaohua looked at her father and suddenly felt that he had aged several years.
"Old man, are you okay?" Ji Yaohua asked. Immediately, he asked tentatively: "You are not hiding something from me, are you? Is it about Pianpian?"
Head Ji looked at him and sighed again.
He walked back to the chair and sat down. Ji Yaohua poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.
The head of the Ji family took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and then said to Ji Yaohua: "Do you know why I have never let Pianpian leave the family and go outside to experience?"
Why are you talking about this
Although Ji Yaohua was confused, she still shook her head. He used to think that maybe his father felt sorry for Pianpian as a girl and couldn't bear for her to go out to experience and suffer, so he let her stay at home.
But now listening to his father's tone, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Pianpian... Pianpian almost died when she was born. You were only seven years old at the time, so you may still have some memories of this matter." The head of the Ji family said.
Ji Yaohua thought carefully and nodded.
The memory of when I was seven years old is already a little blurry. However, he still vaguely remembered that when the little girl was born, he saw that the faces of his family were not filled with joy, but with sadness.
At that time, it seemed that many pharmacists and alchemists came to Ji's house.
It was at that time that my father had close contacts with the old guys from Dongzhou Alchemy Academy.
Could it be that everything is because of Pianpian
Ji Yaohua guessed in her heart, and the head of the Ji family also continued: "Pianpian was born with the Nine Yin Juemai, and she should have died long ago. However, maybe God opened his eyes, and I asked for medicine everywhere, and she survived. Now."
"Nine Yin Juemai!" Ji Yaohua was shocked.
Although he didn't quite know what this Nine Yin Juemi was, he could tell just by hearing the name that it wasn't a good thing!
"What is Jiuyin Juemai?" Ji Yaohua asked. At this time, the usual smile was no longer on his face, but a solemn expression.
The head of the Ji family glanced at him and then explained: "Master Gucao of the Alchemy Academy said that the human body is interconnected by the meridians of nine yin and nine yang, and circulation can ensure vitality. And in Pianpian's body, eighteen meridians, They are all yin meridians. Imbalance of yin and yang leads to blockage of vitality. Therefore, it is called Jiuyin Jue mei. People suffering from this disease cannot survive more than three months. And the reason why your sister can survive until now is thanks to grain grass. The god-level elixir, the Extreme Yang Pill, sent by the master every year, replenishes the yang energy in her body and prolongs her life."
Ji Yaohua seemed to understand at this moment why her sister was frail and sickly when she was a child. She had been taking pills since she was a child, and even the place she lived in was the warmest place in the clan.
Now even though he is not so weak, he still has to take pills regularly.
"However, this Jiyang Pill also treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Master Gucao said when your sister was ten years old that she must get married before the age of twenty-four and improve the meridians in her body through the method of dual cultivation. Otherwise, she will definitely die at the age of twenty-five. This year, she has already turned twenty-four, and it will be her twenty-fourth birthday in half a year." The head of the Ji family finally revealed the reason why he was anxious to marry Ji Pianpian.
Ji Yaohua felt her brain explode.
He said to the head of the Ji family: "There must be other ways, right?" At this time, his face was a little pale. He ruined the marriage proposal. If Yingze didn't want to marry Ji Pianpian, wouldn't he have killed his sister? The murderer
The head of the Ji family slowly shook his head, "Master Gucao said that now there is only one method of dual cultivation, which has a chance of survival for your sister. But... He also mentioned once that if he could refine an ancient single method called Yin-devouring Pill, The elixir can also completely eradicate your sister's problem. The Yin-devouring elixir is said to be able to swallow the excess Yin meridians in the body and convert them into normal meridians."
"Yin-devouring Pill? Can't we just ask Master Gucao to refine it?" Ji Yaohua said anxiously.
However, the head of the Ji family smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If this method was feasible, would I still be in a hurry to marry Pianpian? Master Gucao came up with this dual cultivation method out of helplessness. The recipe for the Yin-devouring Pill is said to be from ancient times. It was created by an alchemy god. With the fall of that alchemy god, the elixir prescription also disappeared. He also went through all the records in the Alchemy Academy before he knew such an elixir, but he suffered from the lack of elixir recipe. It cannot be refined."
This is the result!
Ji Yaohua was stunned in place, her whole body cold.
The head of the Ji family calmed down from his heavy heart and said to Ji Yaohua: "So, you either force the winner to marry your sister as soon as possible, or you find a good man for her, and he must be on her twenty-fourth birthday. Let’s resolve this matter before our birthday.”
Ji Yaohua's eyes flashed, and she turned around and rushed out of the Ji family's study.
…
Ji Yaohua rushed back to her yard like a gust of wind, broke into Yingze's room, grabbed his collar and pulled him out.
Yingze was taken aback and hit his hand. Ji Yaohua immediately fought back but refused to let go.
The two of them fought directly from the room to the outside, even alerting Mu Qingge.
"What are you two doing?" Mu Qingge looked at the two people fighting together and frowned.
Yingze took advantage of the opportunity to say to Mu Qingge, "Ask him!"
Mu Qingge looked at Ji Yaohua, but saw a stern look on his face, something seemed wrong.
Without thinking much, Mu Qing's eyes flashed, the exquisite gun was held in his hand, and he stabbed directly between the two of them, forcing them to separate.
Clang!
Mu Qingge held the exquisite gun and stuck it on the ground. She looked at the two of them with a cold face. Finally, her clear eyes fell on Ji Yaohua and asked, "Why are you crazy?"
Ji Yaohua said in a hoarse voice: "I want him to marry Pianpian immediately!"
"You're crazy!" Yingze snorted coldly.
Ji Yaohua's eyes were filled with fire and she said to him, "You have to marry me even if you don't want to!"
"Impossible!" Yingze refused coldly.
"You must marry her!" Ji Yaohua said through gritted teeth, her eyes flushed red.
Mu Qingge frowned upon hearing this, wondering how Ji Yaohua could become so arrogant and unreasonable. Before, I told her that for the two of them to develop a relationship, they would have to agree to it before they can talk about marriage. Why did a shocking turn of events happen just one day later
Suddenly, Ji Yaohua bent her legs and knelt directly in front of Yingze.
His actions shocked Mu Qingge and Yingze.
Yingze avoided it and frowned, "What are you doing?"
Ji Yaohua showed a heartbroken expression and said to Yingze: "Yingze, my sister likes you, and I understand you. I can rest assured leaving her to you. So, I beg you, marry her, marry her immediately .Otherwise, she will die!"
These words made Yingze's eyes turn cold, "She's threatening death?"
"No! No! She doesn't know at all!" Ji Yaohua shook her head and explained.
Mu Qingge came over and said to Ji Yaohua: "Get up first and tell me what you have to say. Do you think Yingze will compromise if you kneel here?"
Yingze also said: "Get up first."
Under the persuasion of the two men, Ji Yaohua became confused. He forced out an extremely ugly smile and said, "I just know why the old man is in such a hurry to marry Pianpian. It turns out it's all to save her."
Seeing Ji Yaohua gradually calm down, Mu Qingge took back the exquisite gun, looked at him with Yingze, and asked, "What's going on?"
Ji Yaohua fell down on the stone bench and said in despair: "It turns out... It turns out that Pianpian has been suffering from Jiuyin Juemai since she was a child, and has been relying on the Jiyang Pill from Master Gucao of Dan Daoyuan to survive. But now, Jiyang Pill has been Gradually it became ineffective. Master Gucao said that she must get married before the age of twenty-four, practice dual cultivation with her husband, and improve her physical condition, so that she can have a chance to continue her life. I didn’t know anything, so I actually sabotaged her marriage proposal."
After saying that, he hammered his head with both hands in annoyance, looking painful.
"Nine Yin Juemai?" Mu Qingge murmured. She was also a little surprised, she didn't expect Ji Pianpian to have such a hidden disease.
And when she saw Ji Pianpian, she didn't notice it, which only meant that Master Gucao's Extreme Yang Pill was working.
'Jiuyin's broken pulse is indeed a difficult disease. ' Mu Qingge's eyes darkened slightly and she said in her heart.
"It's impossible for me to marry her just to save her." Yingze said calmly.
Ji Yaohua raised his head, and Mu Qingge and Yingze realized that he was actually crying.
Ji Yaohua stood up, rushed to Yingze, grabbed his arms, and begged: "I don't ask you to love her, as long as you marry her, cooperate with her treatment, and let her live. If you meet her in the future Even if you marry the woman you love, our Ji family will never say a word against her."
He looked at Yingze with pleading eyes, but Yingze still shook his head slowly.
It's not that he is cruel, but it's a matter of marriage. If he doesn't like this woman and marries her back, even if he can extend her life, she may not live happily.
Ji Yaohua looked at him disappointedly, "I beg you so much, but you are not willing to help me because of our many years of friendship?"
"I don't love her. If I marry her, it will be unfair to her." Yingze insisted on his principles.
Ji Yaohua looked at Mu Qingge pitifully, as if hoping she could help persuade Yingze. However, how should she persuade her to do something like this
Helpless, Mu Qingge could only slowly shake his head, expressing that he was helpless.
Ji Yaohua stepped back in despair. After a while, she said to the two of them: "Okay, I understand. If you don't want to, I won't force you. Otherwise, even if I force you into the bridal chamber, you won't touch her." For a moment. Pianpian doesn't know what's wrong with her. I ask you to keep it secret and don't let her know. I will look for a good candidate to marry her as soon as possible. "
"I already know." Suddenly, Ji Pianpian's voice broke in.
Ji Yaohua's eyes narrowed suddenly, and she turned around and saw Ji Pianpian standing among the rockery shrubs, as cold as a fairy under the moon, looking at them.
"Pianpian? When did you come?" Ji Yaohua smiled unnaturally, her eyes a little flustered.
"I arrived just after your fight ended. However, although the three of you are higher in cultivation than me, you didn't notice my arrival." Ji Pianpian walked towards me with her skirt swaying.
"Yes...really?" Ji Yaohua's eyes dodge.
Ji Pianpian walked up to him, first leaned towards Mu Qingge and Yingze, then looked at Ji Yaohua and said: "Brother, my body is in such a condition, how long do you and dad want to keep it from me? ?”
"No, Pianpian, please listen to my explanation. I only knew about it." Ji Yaohua said hurriedly.
Ji Pianpian shook her head and interrupted what Ji Yaohua was trying to explain, "Brother, there's no need to explain, I understand. You and dad kept it secret from me because you were afraid that I would be sad if I found out, or do something self-destructive. .I don’t blame you, so don’t feel absolutely sorry for me.”
When she spoke, her expression remained calm, and she did not become emotional after learning the truth.
Mu Qingge watched silently, refreshing his impression of Ji Pianpian again.
"Pianpian, don't worry, my brother won't see anything happen to you and will definitely save you." Ji Yaohua promised.
Ji Pianpian smiled and said to Ji Yaohua: "If you want to find someone, just marry me and let him save me? If I don't like that person, I would rather die than marry!"
"Pianpian, don't be stubborn. Nothing like love is more important than life?" Ji Yaohua persuaded patiently.
However, Ji Pianpian slowly shook her head and said, "My lifespan is already so short, why should I have to marry someone I don't like?"
After saying that, she raised her eyes to look at Yingze, her eyes no longer shy as before, but now magnanimous.
At that moment, Yingze suddenly felt something glowing in Ji Pianpian's eyes.
Ji Pianpian walked up to Yingze and said generously: "Young Master Ying, since my brother has spoken out, I will not be coy or pretentious. Pianpian has taken a liking to you. She likes you very much and has identified you." .”
Yingze opened his mouth and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ji Pianpian, "Don't be too busy talking, listen to me. I know you don't like me, but it doesn't matter. Although Pianpian rarely leaves the house, the script I have read too many stories on the Internet, and I know that two people can only be happy if they are in love. Pianpian does not mean to embarrass you, nor does she mean to force you. I just want to tell you that Ji Pianpian has identified you. If you are willing to marry, I will marry. If you don’t want to, then please come and visit Pianpian more often when Pianpian is alive. When Pianpian dies, drink a glass of water and wine with me at my grave. Pianpian will also sincerely wish that Young Master Ying can find her. Find a good match and a close friend.”
'This girl is really reasonable. Mu Qingge admired it in her heart.
Yingze looked at Ji Pianpian with burning eyes and nodded subconsciously.
When he reacted, he realized that he had already made a promise.
Ji Pianpian got the answer and showed a moving smile. She said to the three of them: "Then Pianpian won't stop everyone from resting. Let's take our leave." After that, she turned and left.
After walking quickly into the path, he quickly wiped away the tears that finally couldn't help falling.
