The legendary Silvermist Manor is not as domineering as the scene that appeared in my mind before.
Although it is still grand, strictly speaking, it only looks like a few mountain villas, and it obviously looks quite old.
The maintenance condition is naturally good, but it still feels like there are not too many people living there.
Of course, after Ji Liushuang briefly introduced its scope, Fu Qian realized the overbearing aspect from another angle.
But no matter what, this place can be regarded as an ancestral home at most, and since the Ji family's industries are spread all over the world, there shouldn't be many people left here.
Sure enough, I got good news just after I started working with classmate Ji Liushuang.
If there aren't many people on Ji's side, it means that the number of targets he needs to confirm is greatly reduced, not to mention that not everyone will inherit the family's talent.
However, although they were deeply satisfied before paying, the faces of the two companions were not very good.
Ji Liushuang was originally a wounded person. Although he looked haggard, he could not see any joy at returning home.
As for Ji Mingzhe, whether it was the attack on Ji Liushuang or the uninvited guest himself, he seemed not to be satisfied.
And it was obvious that he had already conveyed this emotion, as shown by the man and woman who led the team to greet him, with the same expressions as him.
…
"Hello, Professor Andile."
The two men at the head of the team are obviously much older than Ji Mingzhe, and their appearance can only be said to be similar.
But after all, he seems to have gained decades of cultivation, and his demeanor is still much more polite.
"I'm Ji Xun, thank you for helping Liu Shuang."
"You're welcome, it's easy."
Pay Qian maintained the aloof style of an intellectual and said nothing more after a polite sentence.
Seeing that he didn't even intend to take off the mask on his face, Ji Xun's eyes flickered slightly and he looked directly at Ji Liushuang beside him.
The capable-looking woman next to him was directing a group of people to check Ji Liushuang's injuries.
"Why did you go there alone?"
Then, Ji Xun didn't even show too much concern, but his words showed the severity of his elders.
"If it weren't for Professor Andile, you would have been in danger this time, do you know?"
Even though the latter sentence is good in theory, it always sounds a little wrong.
"Didn't you tell mother?"
Facing the scolding, Ji Liushuang looked normal and even asked about her mother's condition.
"She doesn't know. Her body has just recovered. We don't want to irritate her. Of course, you don't seem to mind."
At this time, it was the woman who answered expressionlessly, with a tone that was both yin and yang.
Classmate Liushuang, what kind of family status do you have!
Seeing being stimulated in the name of mother, Ji Liushuang's face finally turned pale, and Fu Qian sighed in his heart.
Although this woman is also a transcendent, her level is obviously very low. From the way she communicates with Ji Mingzhe, it can be seen that she is even a housekeeper, but she actually speaks like this to the daughter of the Ji family?
Logically speaking, this is not the case. Even if it is the result of elopement, it is still the eldest princess of the Ji family who gave birth to her. The blood relationship is completely guaranteed.
Could it be any special reason?
From this point of view, if he hadn't come here, Mr. Ji Xun might not have appeared.
Sure enough, the name of the Academy is still useful. After all, it is one of the few research institutions in the extraordinary world.
Of course, the effect is almost there.
"You go take care of your injuries first and come over after you're healed. The situation needs to be clarified."
Seeing that Ji Liushuang didn't say anything anymore, Ji Xun didn't ask further. Instead, he motioned for a group of people to bring her in to deal with her injuries, and then invited Fu Qian to have tea with her.
However, it seems that because of Fu Qian's impolite behavior, his expression became more cold than at first, showing the pride of a top-notch family.
Of course, this person does have such qualifications. Brother Ji Xun, who looks like he is in charge of the affairs of the manor, is a real demigod, much better than Ji Mingzhe.
With such a powerful position, there is nothing to be afraid of offending an academy instructor, it is just to give the academy face.
The demigod-level Ashfall, I wonder if it has something to do with the mission target parasite.
Fu Qian naturally didn't mind this, and shook his head naturally while thinking about the mission goal of this trip.
"Thank you, no need. I'm still not too worried. Let's go check on Liu Shuang's injuries first."
"good."
Ji Xun was not too surprised by his polite refusal.
After all, it seems like you can’t drink tea even if you’re wearing a mask.
…
Following Ji Liushuang's medical team into the building, just when Fu Qian was admiring the low-key luxury of a top-notch family, he was not surprised to be asked to wait outside because he had to avoid suspicion when dealing with injuries.
After sitting quietly for a while under the gaze of several people, the poker-faced woman finally opened the door and came out, saying that the injury had been taken care of and that Ji Liushuang was taking a break and could go in.
"Teacher Andile, thank you for your hard work today."
Ji Liushuang was the only one in the room, and she had already changed into loose clothes.
In addition, I don’t know if it was her request, but a group of people even made a classical-looking wheelchair for her to sit on.
The first time Fu Qin came in for a visit, he managed a smile on his tired face and thanked him again.
Of course, the real purpose of this sentence is to remind Fu Qian that the conversation between the two of them is under surveillance.
"Should be done."
Immediately understanding the spirit, Fu Qian walked aside and sat down.
"...I was indeed careless this time!"
Ji Liushuang sighed quietly, but there was a hint of a pun in his words.
"Take a short break, I have to explain the situation clearly."
"No problem, but with your Ji family tradition, is it too harsh on the younger generation?"
…
After realizing what Fu Qian meant, Ji Liushuang couldn't help but be stunned.
Unexpectedly, after being reminded by myself, the person in front of me still spoke without any scruples and directly commented on the previous performance of Ji Xun and his party.
Aren't you ready to keep a low profile at all?
"The Ji family has always been strict with their children, and with the recent series of accidents, the elders may not be in a good mood."
After a slight hesitation, she explained.
"Accident?"
Before paying, he looked quite interested.
"Besides your mother and you, what else happened before?"
"...A family member was killed in the wasteland before, but the murderer has not been found yet."
Obviously he didn't understand why Fu Qian was so concerned about this, but after hesitating for a moment, Ji Liushuang still answered truthfully.
Wasteland? That probably has nothing to do with my mission.
Before paying, he expressed a little disappointment, but the next moment he realized something——
A descendant of the Ji family was murdered in the wasteland, and the murderer is at large?
The fat angel Ji Yicheng who was martyred with his own help?
