After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God - Chapter 1080 - Chapter 1080: Ji Qingwei's Done, The True Savior (2)

Chapter 1080: Ji Qingwei’s Done, The True Savior (2)

“To prevent her from committing further evil deeds, I hurried over from the East State,” he declared.

He did not mention luck and omitted Si Fuqing entirely.

As soon as these words left his lips, the crowd erupted in astonishment.

Yu Yao’s expression shattered with disbelief, as he uttered, “Qingwei?!”

Could it truly be that such a malicious act had been committed by Ji Qingwei?

Even though Ji Qingwei had plagiarized, the image of her in his heart remained one of pure beauty from days gone by.

How could a girl who once seemed so innocent be capable of such selfishness?

The other prestigious families were drenched in cold sweat. They knew that Ji Qingwei had been under the control of JI Xingzhi, but they still instinctively took a few steps back.

“You’re talking nonsense!” Ji Qingwei could hardly believe someone would openly speak of such matters. She shrieked, “And what I took wasn’t a life; it was—”

The words caught in her throat, and despite her mouth opening and closing repeatedly, no sound escaped.

She had to tell everyone that Si Fuqing was the Lady of Luck!

There were always people more powerful, more capable than her. Surely, there was someone who could deal with Si Fuqing!

But she simply could not articulate those thoughts.

JI Xingzhi, well aware of her intentions, glanced at her casually and said, “My surname is JI.”

The JI family!

One of the three aristocratic families with a history spanning a thousand years, known for their mastery of the Yin-Yang arts.

Given JI Xingzhi’s earlier display of skill, no one doubted his words.

In the entire Great Xia, only the JI family represented the true path of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements.

Ji Qingwei’s eyes widened in shock.

Si Fuqing could command even the members of the JI family at will?

What made the Lady of Luck so favored by heaven?!

With a wave of his hand, Ji Xingzhi affixed a talisman to Ji Qingwei’s body, and she was instantaneously immobilized, able only to move her eyes.

Her voice was silenced, her limbs bound; she could not even drag Si Fuqing down with her.

At that moment, she felt something within her ebbing away.

The luck she had drawn from the Ji Longtai couple began to slip from her grasp, and the overwhelming backlash of losing her senses enveloped her once more.

This was the second backlash; her eyesight vanished entirely, and her sense of smell and touch faded completely.

As the luck returned to Ji Longtai and his wife, JI Xingzhi said coolly, “You two are awake now.”

Ji Longtai’s memories were still caught up in his visit to Guanghua Temple, and he staggered, unable to gather his thoughts, “I—I’m here…?”

Without JI Xingzhi having to say a word, someone jumped in, distraught: “Ji Longtai! You have raised a good daughter, but did you know that after nurturing her for over a decade, she seeks your lives?”

“If not for Master JI arriving in time, you would have been on your way to hell!”

Ji Longtai was stunned, “W-What?”

As he heard of Ji Qingwei’s actions, he swayed on his feet, nearly fainting once more.

This was the daughter they had painstakingly raised for over ten years?

No wonder the monk at Guanghua Temple had prophesied that they would die within two months.

But Ji Longtai could never have imagined that the one seeking his life would be his own daughter!

Mrs. Ji trembled with rage, raising her hand to slap Ji Qingwei across the face: “Look at what you have done! Do you have no conscience?!”

After her initial slap, she was still not satisfied and delivered several more.

Blood trickled from the corner of Ji Qingwei’s eye as pain intensified, amplifying her suffering as she could neither see nor speak.

Tears mingled with blood, and she emitted muffled sounds, desperately trying to plead with Ji Longtai and his wife, but it was already too late.

All of this was her own doing; she could blame no one else.

As the Ji family’s matters unfolded, other families showed no intention of intervening, knowing that forging connections with JI Xingzhi was their priority.

“Young Master JI, wait!” Old Master Yu called out urgently. “I would like to invite you to the Yu family as a guest. yDo ou have time? You are truly a hero among youths. Thanks to you, we have managed to save our lives.”

“This is nothing. My big brother is the truly remarkable one,” JI Xingzhi couldn’t help but sing his big brother’s praises. “With a wave of his hand, the Yin-Yang families of the Eastern Mulberry would all fall.”

Old Master Yu gasped in surprise: “Is there truly such a powerful figure!”

“I’m busy today,” JI Xingzhi replied, not wishing to visit the Yu family. “Perhaps another time.”

“Then I won’t keep you, Young Master JI,” Old Master Yu replied respectfully. “We welcome you to the Yu family whenever you have time.”

An hour later, JI Xingzhi finally shook off the other families’ pursuit and met up with Si Fuqing.

“I’m exhausted,” he said, wiping the sweat from his brow. “Being famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. People are always looking for you.”

Si Fuqing crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow: “You seem to be adapting quite well.”

“Big brother, everything has been taken care of,” JI Xingzhi declared proudly, patting his chest. “Although the luck has returned, the damage is irreversible. Ji Longtai and his wife will lose years from their lifespan, and they will face misfortune, like tripping over stones while walking.”

“As for that Ji Qingwei, she won’t die for now. The Thousand Army Alliance has taken her away, and she might as well forget about ever seeing the light of day again.”

A fate worse than death was the greatest punishment.

Si Fuqing nodded, “Thanks for the trouble. Come, let’s go eat. Brother Nine is treating us.”

“On my way.” JI Xingzhi hurried ahead.

**

On the other side.

After JI Xingzhi left, the other families showed no intention of lingering and began to depart.

Yu Yao stood in place, lost in thought, not because of Ji Qingwei’s capture by the Thousand Army Alliance, but because he realized that all his feelings over the years had been misplaced.

He could hardly believe he had treated Ji Qingwei as a treasure, convinced that no one compared to her.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Well, he thought, let’s consider it a repayment for Ji Qingwei’s life-saving favor.

Reassuring himself in this way, Yu Yao’s heart lightened somewhat.

Old Master Yu said calmly, “Yu Yao, let’s go home.”

Yu Yao snapped back to reality and followed, but was called to a halt.

He turned around and greeted, “Uncle Xu.”

The middle-aged man appeared pained: “Young Master Yu, now that the dust has settled, there are some things I can finally disclose.”

Yu Yao listened respectfully: “Please, go ahead.”

“It’s like this. During that kidnapping incident years ago, my son was also abducted,” the man shook his head. “He witnessed exactly who saved you.”

“It was not Ji Qingwei.”
