Chapter 44 Not from the Empire
"Rourou recruited the Mo family to settle the score. Now we have no choice but to admit defeat. His Royal Highness is attending this competition in person. If you go to the Mo family to settle the score now, you have violated the rules of the competition!

And the Mo family is now the No. 2 first-class family, our Ji family..."

When the head of the Ji family said this, he closed his eyes unwillingly.

Ji Anfan gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. The veins on his forehead bulged faintly, and he felt helpless.

After all, he was too weak.

If he gets No. 2 and compares with the Mo family, even if he seeks trouble now, His Highness the Crown Prince will turn a blind eye because of the Ji family's status.

"What should we do? My Jing Zhan's wife cannot be an ordinary person!"

Elder Zhou, who came to care with medicines, had a sad face at this time.

The head of the Ji family snorted coldly, as if he had already guessed the purpose of their trip, and asked in a gloomy tone, "What does the Zhou family mean by this?"

"Brother Ji is wrong to say this. The person who wanted to break off the engagement was obviously Miss Ji. She even came to the Zhou family to make a fuss, saying that Jing Zhan was flirting with women outside and they were not suitable..."

When Elder Zhou said this, he rolled his shrewd eyes and said with a smile: "It hasn't been long, Brother Ji won't forget, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the head of the Ji family remembered what Rourou had said about what he had encountered in the secret realm after she came back some time ago.

He was also angry about this. Zhou Jingzhan simply didn't take them seriously!
He originally intended to break off the engagement, so he let his daughter make the fuss. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for something like this to happen!

My daughter's cultivation has been destroyed and she has become a useless person!
As for the Zhou family, as soon as they returned home, they followed behind.

It’s time to break off the engagement!

When Rourou was seriously injured and unconscious, a group of people came over in great numbers.

This is not an annulment of the engagement, this is clearly an attempt to add insult to injury!

"We, the Zhou family, have thought carefully about what Miss Ji said before and found it very reasonable. Since both of us are not suitable, we might as well end it here."

With that said, Elder Zhou took out the token from his previous engagement and presented it with both hands with a smile.

This is forcing them!

"Okay, okay, your Zhou family is very good!" The head of the Ji family gritted his teeth. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't lose face in front of outsiders. He looked sideways at the elder.

The Great Elder understood instantly and sent someone to quickly get Ji Shirou's engagement token and return it in front of everyone.

As soon as the Zhou family left, the Meng family came over again carrying a bunch of things.

The head of the Ji family finally looked better when he saw Meng Yunhe: "Why is Mr. Ji here?"

Meng Yunhe was wearing a red robe and came quickly with his people. He handed over his hands very politely: "Master Ji, this junior went home to find some treasured elixirs, which are effective for Shirou's injuries, so I sent them here to try."

The head of the Ji family nodded and said in a polite tone: "Thank you very much to the Meng family."

He said this, but he didn't care in his heart. Meng Yunhe was just a junior in the family. What good pills could he give to outsiders?

Even if they could come up with it, the Meng family would never agree to it based on their superficial friendship.

Unexpectedly, after the great elder took out the elixir, a strong smell of the elixir penetrated his nose, and the smell made people feel energetic.

Surprise flashed in Ji's head's eyes, and then he became thoughtful.

Meng Yunhe waited anxiously, standing outside the door so he could not enter the girl's room.

Not long after, the great elder came out again with an empty bottle. When he met everyone's expectant eyes, he shook his head.

Meng Yunhe's face changed slightly, "How could it be? The eighth-grade elixir is useless?!"

Panic flashed through his heart, and the worry in his eyes didn't seem to be fake. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong with him.

Seeing this scene, Ji Anfan, who was not far away, lowered his head and sighed.

"The eldest lady is too seriously injured. She is hanging up with the Ten Thousand Years Purple Spirit San. This will only destroy her cultivation. Otherwise..." The eldest elder did not say any more, but everyone present knew that Ji Shirou might not be able to survive. .

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Meng Yunhe was unwilling to give up, and said in a hurried tone: "Is there any way? Or is there any herbal medicine that can cure it? I will send someone to find it immediately!"

The elder shook his head.

If there was, the Ji family would have sent people out to look for it long ago. Where would outsiders get help?

When everyone fell into an eerie silence, the guard guarding the door walked quickly and said in a respectful tone: "Tell the owner, there are two people outside the door who claim to be Miss Ji's friends."

"No!" The head of the Ji family had a cold face and refused without hesitation.

"Yes!"

Just as the guard turned around, Ji Anfan seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted quickly: "Wait! What do those two people look like?"

The guard thought about it carefully: "The woman is wearing a black robe, with a delicate and beautiful face, and a cold temperament. The man in white has a handsome appearance, and looks unfamiliar to him. He should not be from the empire."

Speaking of this, the guard couldn't help but mutter secretly: Anyway, the two of them don't look like people who are easy to mess with.

Hearing this, Ji Anfan's deep eyes flashed in his mind, and he quickly ran towards the door.

At this time, Meng Qinghe and Luo Xuanming, who were waiting outside the door, saw people running towards them from a distance.

The look on his face was a bit ugly, presumably because Ji Shirou's injury was not optimistic.

When Ji Anfan saw them, his face showed a true look, and he came to them and made a "please" gesture.

"Miss Meng, Mr. Luo."

The two of them nodded and followed him into Ji's house. As they walked, they asked, "What's Ji Shirou's situation now?"

For some reason, Ji Anfan had an inexplicable fondness for Meng Qinghe and trusted him very much.

Maybe it’s because of her high level of cultivation, or maybe it’s because she has helped Rourou many times...

Therefore, he did not hide it. Ji Anfan said with a serious face: "Rourou was seriously injured and her life is now in danger."

Hearing this, Meng Qinghe's heart suddenly sank, and he quickly followed him to the outside of Ji Shirou's room, where he also saw a group of people.

Her eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally landed on her old father.

Meng Yunhe didn't seem to be surprised when he saw her, as if he had guessed it.

Meng Qinghe quickly looked away and politely bowed his hands to the head of the Ji family.

Ji Anfan introduced him: "This is Rourou's friend. Why don't we let her in and have a look? Maybe there is something we can do?"

"Go ahead, go ahead." The head of the Ji family glanced at the two of them and waved his hand casually.

Judging from his tone, it seemed like he was about to give up.

As soon as Meng Qinghe entered the house, a strong smell of blood penetrated his nose.

Walking towards the woman on the soft bed, her breath was weak and her face was pale, lying there as quietly as a dead corpse.

Meng Qinghe's pupils shrank, and he gathered spiritual power in his hand and brought it close to her forehead, carefully checking Ji Shirou's physical condition bit by bit.

After it was over, she looked extremely ugly.

Meng Qinghe suddenly regretted that she would have gone in and killed Mo Huachuan that night without fear of alarming the Mo family.

Will my mother be hurt?
