Ji Qiu would never have imagined that Ji Fengyan would suddenly attack him. He could not dodge in time and was struck squarely.

A large patch of blood reddened Ji Qiu’s chest. Ji Qiu’s eyes widened suddenly, his expression filled with disbelief.

Ji Fengyan’s mouth curled slightly as she looked as the dumbfounded Ji Qiu. “Eldest Uncle, since you are so concerned about the well-being of the Ji family, I will fulfill your wishes.”

The moment her laughing voice ceased, the Ji house’s main door was broken down by a troop of guards.

The moment the guards who were rounding up Ji Fengyan pushed open the door, they saw…

Ji Fengyan’s sword embedded in Ji Qiu’s chest.

“You came quickly.” Ji Fengyan suddenly pulled out the evil-vanquishing sword in her hand. As she withdrew the sword, blood spurted from the wound in Ji Qiu’s chest.

Hot, fresh blood sprayed all over the stunned Ji He, who was standing nearby. Ji He suddenly snapped out of his trance and wailed in shock and fear.

No one could have foreseen Ji Fengyan’s move. It stunned even the guards who were pursuing her.

Ji Fengyan casually shook drops of blood off the tip of her sword. She turned to look at the ashen Ji He and said, “Tell Ji Ru that this is my compensation to the Ji family.”

With that, Ji Fengyan nodded at the little old man and the burly man. The three of them immediately fled from the main hall of the Ji house.

When the guards saw that Ji Fengyan had escaped again, they hurriedly pursued her.

The main hall of the Ji house was filled with the thick scent of blood.

The single stroke from Ji Fengyan’s sword had pierced Ji Qiu’s vitals. His face was completely white. He vainly clutched at his wound, but could not stem the relentless flow of blood.

“Elder… Elder Brother…” Ji He’s legs were weak with his fear, and his face was ashen.

No one would have guessed that Ji Fengyan would attack a member of the Ji family. Previously, when Ji Qiu had repeatedly tried to secretly kill Ji Fengyan, she had not shown a trace of murderous intent. But now… she had killed decisively, without giving Ji Qiu any chance of resisting.

The thick scent of blood and the uproar brought the other members of the Ji family. Ji Mubai walked into the main hall and saw his own father who had collapsed in a pool of blood. His entire body stiffened instantly.

Ji Linglong came later, together with Ji Ru. When Ji Ru saw the scene of Ji Qiu bathed in blood, he was stunned.

“Father! Father! It was Ji Fengyan! It was Ji Fengyan! She returned just now and wounded Elder Brother!” The moment the terrified Ji He saw Ji Ru, he immediately crawled over to Ji Ru and collapsed by his legs.

If not for the guards arriving at just the right moment, Ji He felt that Ji Fengyan would have killed him together with Ji Qiu. The blood of his elder brother had completely terrified Ji He. He wept copiously as he told Ji Ru everything that had just happened.

Ji Ru’s expression changed from shock to become more complicated. He lifted his eyes and looked at Ji Qiu, who could no longer speak.

Ji Qiu’s hands trembled as he tried to ask Ji Ru for help, but in the end he closed his eyes. He had been sent to hell, together with his lifetime of greed and malice.

As he personally witnessed his eldest son draw his last breath, Ji Ru quietly shut his eyes and took a deep breath. Ji Linglong, who stood nearby, looked grieved. Although Ji Qiu had never been a suitable father, blood was thicker than water…

“Ji Fengyan said that this was her compensation to the Ji family?” Ji Ru closed his eyes tightly and asked gravely.

“Yes… that’s what she said…” Ji He replied with a sob.

“I understand.” Ji Ru opened his eyes. His expression was still grieved, he did not speak further. He only ordered men to carry Ji Qiu’s body away, then left in silence.
