Predecessors

1Chapter 17 Raising Tigers

Lin Yi hugged Wang Ji tightly with both hands, folding his clothes into messy folds.

Wang Ji just remained motionless, letting him hold her.His deep eyes rolled around, with some doubts and puzzlement, but he didn't push Lin Yi away.

After a long time, Lin Yi let go of Wang Ji.He stared at Wang Ji intently, and noticed a slight change in the person in front of him.

His complexion became paler, and even the eyes with his lips became paler.The most noticeable change was his eyes, the blue gemstones were shrouded in a deep black mist and could not see the light of day.It seems that no dirt can be left on his face, and nothing is worth staying in his eyes.

Lin Yi stroked his eyelashes, "What happened to your eyes?"

Gui Ji's eyelashes trembled, he brushed Lin Yi's hand away, and muttered to himself, "You are Lin Yi...my uncle..."

He thought of the person in front of him, and everything about him, but the emotions that should have been stirring in his chest disappeared, leaving only a blank space.

It's just that this feeling of bewilderment didn't last long on Gui Ji.He said to Hei Yao next to him, "The person who came is my uncle, remember to treat him nicely."

Hei Yao glanced at Gui Ji in surprise, as if the channel was suddenly switched to a serious news broadcast when he was preparing to watch a nasty Qiong Yao drama.

Lin Yi saw Wang Ji leaving in a flick of his sleeves, and anxiously pulled him back, "Wang Ji, don't leave yet."

Gui Ji's deep eyes stayed on Lin Yi's face for a while, and then she said, "I'm not Wang Ji...I'm Gui Ji."

Lin Yi's heart trembled, and he held Gui Ji's hand hidden in his sleeve, and suddenly found that his hand was as cold as ice.

Gui Ji seemed to be scalded by the temperature of Lin Yi's palm, she quickly withdrew her hand, and left without hesitation.

Since Gui Ji ordered Lin Yi to be treated well, the black feather soldiers below naturally did not dare to neglect her.

Thinking of his rude behavior to Lin Yi just now, the sentinel couldn't help but shiver.While leading the way for Lin Yi, he tried to make up for the "crime" just now, "My name is Hei Xiao, and I will do whatever you want in the future."

"Let me ask you a few things." Lin Yi was still immersed in Wang Ji's "abnormal" performance, always feeling a little uneasy, "Wang... When did Gui Ji come here? How did she come here?"

Hei Xiao recalled that Lord Guiji said that this person was his uncle, so he must be trustworthy, so he replied truthfully, "Master Guiji has been here for more than two months. his."

More than two months, in this way, Wang Ji should have come here shortly after she escaped from Heaven.

Something must have gone wrong.

Hei Xiao led Lin Yi through the main hall, "This is where Lord Gui Ji lives."

Originally, Hei Xiao just said it casually, but Lin Yi stepped in unceremoniously, "I live with him."

Lin Yi was keenly aware that Wang Ji and himself seemed to have a lot of differences in this meeting, which had never happened before, and he felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason.So Lin Yi decided to get close to Wang Ji in the coming days.

Hei Xiao said tactfully, "This...do you want to ask Lord Guiji first?"

"No, I won't leave even if he comes to drive me away." Lin Yi surveyed the surrounding environment, took a fancy to the sandalwood chair covered with soft animal skin in the center, and sat on it stretched out.

From Hei Xiao's point of view, it looked like a cat occupying a tiger's den. The key point was that "stupid cat" was lying on the chair without knowing it and having fun.

But Ning Zhuang, who accompanied Lin Yi, didn't get such a good treatment.He was pressed by several black feather soldiers to a small dark house, and then he was firmly tied to a pillar.

Ningzhuang reminded many times, "I am with that person." But the black feather soldiers did not have the spirit of loving the house and the black, and tied Ningzhuang tightly without mercy.

Gui Ji took a deep look at Ning Zhuang, and said slowly, "I have a debt to settle with you."

Ning Zhuang smiled softly, no panic could be seen in Tao Hua's eyes, "So I'm here, am I not your most precious person sent back in order to atone for my sins?"

"In order to put me in the situation I am in today, you have spent a lot of thought." Gui Ji's eyes turned cold, "In order to reduce my strength, you first sent someone to frame Lin Yi. When I am at a loss, You handed that fatal letter to the Emperor of Heaven again. Finally, you created the illusion of Lin Yi's death and broke the last string on my body."

Ning Zhuang said, "You finally understand my 'good intentions'. That's right, Wang Ji, I did all of this."

Ghost Ji's brows were covered with gloom, "Tell me, how should I settle this account with you?"

"That's right, I designed you, but I swear I never really hurt you. All I want is for you to stand by my side." At this moment, the smile that had been hanging on Ning Zhuang's face disappeared He didn't laugh for the first time, "If it wasn't for me, you would still be working for that corrupt heaven? I'm just helping you break free from the shackles on you."

Gui Ji's sword touched his chest, "Then, let me help you break free from the shackles of the world, and send you to die."

Ning Zhuang's voice was full of urgency, but it was more real and powerful than before, "You need me. The Heavenly Court is looking for you in an all-round way. Although the Black Feather Army is powerful, can it compete with the entire Heavenly Court? Let me help you."

"Why should I trust you?"

Ning Zhuang said, "I can swear to God..."

"Hush..." Gui Ji put her index finger to her lips and made a gesture of silence. If you don't look at his cold eyes, this gesture may even look a little tempting, "Don't make pale vows to me. I want It’s something that really reassures me.”

"How can you trust me?"

Gui Ji tilted her head, with an intriguing smile on her face, "It is said that Master Ning loves his only son the most, so why not keep him with me so that we can bond."

Ning Zhuang's face suddenly pulled down, "This is absolutely impossible."

Gui Ji said in embarrassment, "It's up to you. I sent someone to pick up your son a few days ago. Calculate the time, it's already here."

There was a hint of hatred in Ning Zhuang's eyes, "How could you know my movements... Is there someone in Yu Ning Palace?"

"Have you forgotten, you taught me this trick." Gui Ji was already tired of talking with him, so he turned and left without further words.

The anger in Ning Zhuang's heart surged up, and he raged in his chest for a hundred rounds, but he had nowhere to vent.He suddenly felt a sense of anxiety and powerlessness.
