Riding the Pheonix Chapter 470: Termination

Under Ji Xiaowu's fuss, the engagement was finally terminated.

That day, Ji Xiaowu was beaten severely, so Ji Ling took his biological father to the house to talk secretly.

"Dad, is the engagement still terminated?"

Master Ji raised his eyebrows: "It's okay for your brother to mess around. Why do you even say that? This marriage was decided by your aunt before she was alive. I personally promised to help her take care of her daughter. How can I do that?" Lifted?"

"Dad, this moment and the other moment." Ji Ling gave him a detailed analysis, "What was the situation when you and your aunt agreed to get married? My cousin's apathy is incurable, and she looks like she will be stupid for the rest of her life. Aunt She has no one to entrust her to but to place her hope in you. This is her loving mother's heart. But now? My cousin's illness has long been cured, and if we are honest, she may have done more than Xiao Wu."

Master Ji was silent for a moment and said: "As a father, don't you know? Isn't it for Xiao Wu's sake that you insist on this marriage now? After canceling this marriage, he still wants to marry someone like your cousin? When Xiao Qi was ill, our two families got engaged. Now that Xiao Qi is well, it is our blessing."

Ji Ling thought to himself, his father is not completely stupid! Under normal circumstances, he is right to think so, but his cousin is obviously not under normal circumstances...

He asked: "Dad, do you know what my cousin did in the northwest?"

Master Ji asked curiously: "Didn't you say that she went out to travel? You still persuade me that Xiao Qi has magical powers and is different from ordinary people."

At this point, Ji Ling could only admit: "Actually, I lied to you..."

"What do you mean?"

Ji Ling said helplessly: "Not long before my cousin left the capital, Young Master Yang was demoted from the capital. Now His Royal Highness the King of Yue has returned to the capital, and she has also returned. Dad, didn't you expect that?"

Master Ji's eyes widened, he was stunned for a while, and then stood up suddenly: "How can this be done? How can this be done? Where is Xiaoqi, ask her to come and let me ask her clearly!"

"Dad!" Ji Ling pushed him back, "You call your cousin here. What do you want to ask? Ask her if she has an affair with His Highness the King of Yue? Can you ask?"

Master Ji's face turned red: "That can't be... too much!"

Ji Ling thought he was going to be angry with Mingwei, but unexpectedly, Mr. Ji opened his mouth and cursed: "In the past, people said he was doing nonsense, but I just listened. He actually kidnapped the daughter of his boudoir! Based on his status, he also You can't do such a thing! No, I want to..."

"..." Ji Ling felt that he really didn't have to worry about his cousin, "What are you going to do? Come to the door to question her? My daughter's family will suffer from this kind of thing. If any rumors spread, it's the cousin who is in trouble. Don't talk about him. Nowadays, even if he is a common man with a distinguished status, he can only be regarded as having a romantic affair."

Master Ji was so angry: "Then we suffered this loss in vain? Since you know, why didn't you stop it in the first place? Are there any brothers like you?"

Ji Ling touched her nose and said, well, my cousin does have magical powers. Even he scolded her, but her father didn't even say a word about her.

He knew what Mingwei was going to do. In the past two years, Mingwei's property has been in his hands, and Yang Shu has to ask about it from time to time. How can he not know what they are doing?

The business in Jingli is getting more and more popular, and the line goes all the way to the northwest. In addition to daily supply, the money earned also has several destinations. A smart person like Ji Ling would know what is hidden behind it if he thinks about it for a moment.

He was also shocked. Forget everything else, what are you doing secretly cultivating an intelligence network?

When Yang Shu's life experience was made public, he finally figured this out.

Although Ji Ling read books from sages, he was not pedantic.

If it were anyone else, he might stay away from her, but what kind of temperament his cousin has, he trusts his own judgment more.

Because of this trust, he didn't ask or inquire more, he just waited patiently for the result.

Now that we know they are doing something big, we must not cause trouble now.

But you cannot tell your father this. Ji Ling has long known what kind of temper his father has and how capable he is. In terms of knowledge, he has no regrets in his profession. In terms of scheming...forget it, let's keep it a secret.

"Dad, you should know something about my cousin's temperament. She dares to take a maid and run to the northwest. Can others easily fool her? Besides, she and Xiao Wu really don't get along. Look, Xiaowu is still like a child. In good conscience, do they deserve it?"

Master Ji muttered: "What's wrong with Xiao Wu? He's smart, good-looking, and he treats people sincerely. In the past, he didn't study, and they said he was worthless. Now that he's willing to study mystical arts, he will be good in the future. There is another future.”

Ji Ling thought to himself, it’s a good thing that Xiao Wu didn’t hear what he said. Otherwise, when his father praised him, he wouldn’t be embarrassed?

"But Xiaowu doesn't like my cousin! He's still calling for a monk. What do you think we should do?"

"This is because he is young and hasn't figured it out yet!"

"How long will it take for him to figure it out? My cousin is not young anymore. She is not married yet at the age of eighteen. How long do you want her to wait?"

"This..." Mr. Ji was speechless.

Yes, eighteen is already old enough, there is no reason to ask people to wait until they are twenty.

"Go and beat Xiao Wu again and see if he accepts it!"

Ji Ling couldn't laugh or cry, and pressed her father again: "Dad! Have you never thought that Xiao Wu really wants to become a Taoist priest?"

Ji Ling was displeased: "Why do you say that? What kind of family did the good~IndoMTL.com~ become a monk? He is not sick!"

"There are so many Taoist priests in the world, are they all sick? Dad, think about Taoist Master Xicheng, who also became a monk at a young age. There are some people in this world, although their goals are different from the general public, but we cannot say that they are abnormal... …”

Ji Ling analyzed in detail: "Xiaowu is determined to become a monk, and my cousin can't keep her waiting. Besides, how old is he? Since the Holy One has made him a king, it's impossible to ask him to be a bachelor again. If you drag your cousin along like this and ask him to marry someone else, what will happen to your cousin? This marriage was originally intended to help your aunt take good care of your cousin. If you delay her like this, doesn't it violate the original intention?"

What he said was so reasonable that Mr. Ji didn't know how to refute it.

Ji Ling accepted the offer and said, "Think carefully about whether this is true."

Two days later, Mr. Ji called Ji Xiaowu and asked him: "Do you really want to break off the engagement?"

Ji Xiaowu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"No regrets?"

"Absolutely no regrets!"

"You swear!"

"I swear!" Ji Xiaowu said what he should do if he could break off the engagement.

He really doesn’t want to be a cuckold and watch his cousin hook up with a wild man...

"Okay, then retreat!" Mr. Ji was hopeless. After insisting on the engagement for so many years, it was he who was sorry for his sister...

Ji Xiaowu was crazy happy.

However, two days later, when he returned to Xuandu Temple, he found that something was wrong.

A senior brother asked him with a smile: "Junior brother Ji, I heard that in order to become a monk, you didn't even want your beautiful cousin? Oh my, I heard that your cousin has been waiting for you for several years, how pitiful!"

Wait a minute, who said that if you take the initiative to break off the engagement, your reputation will not be ruined?
