The Indomitable Master of Elixirs
chapter-586

Ji Fengyan could not fathom just how despondent her former self must have been she received news of Ji Yun’s death.

That final ray of hope in her life was snuffed out just like that.

From what Linghe and the rest said, Ji Fengyan could vaguely guess that Ji Yun’s death was not an accident but a murder…

Ji Yun’s performance was not as splendid as Situ Ba’s. Nevertheless, he was reliable and adept at planning battle strategies. Ji Yun was also a shining star within the army—otherwise why would Linghe and company be willing to shed blood for him?

But…

Ji Yun could not retire alive from the battlefield.

She recalled Linghe saying that right before going into that battle, Ji Yun had applied for leave from the Emperor. He had hoped to return to the capital city to visit his daughter.

However…

That battle ended up being his final one.

Death separated forever father and daughter, never to meet again.

Hatred shrouded her heart as Ji Fengyan watched Situ Ba. It was as if the remnants of her former self had influenced her.

Situ Ba. The Green Nightmare Army…

This is a debt I must seek on behalf of my former self!

The fire burning in Ji Fengyan’s pupils startled Situ Ba. The gaze of a mere 15-year-old teenage girl could actually be so forbidding. He frowned slightly as his own expression shifted.

Discreetly observing all this from the side, Zhan Fei couldn’t help smirking when he witnessed the fuming intensity between Ji Fengyan and Situ Ba.

Pretending to be oblivious to the tension, he cleared his throat. “General Ji is General Ji Yun’s daughter. It’s only natural they are alike. How valiant was General Ji Yun in battle during his time? I have heard stories of his courage. Like father like daughter, General Ji could definitely carry on General Ji Yun’s legacy—killing demons and protecting the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon.”

Ji Fengyan gave a frosty laugh.

Zhan Fei continued. “If I recall correctly, General Ji Yun had also fought alongside General Situ before?”

Situ Ba nodded.

“What a coincidence. I remember that battle, when General Situ and General Ji Yun combined their armies and carried out a major victory over the demon army. It was truly a mighty sight to behold. It must be fate that General Ji is here carrying on General Ji Yun’s legacy.” Zhan Fei was smiling, but his eyes venomous as he gazed at Ji Fengyan.

Mentioning Ji Yun so many times in a casual conversation, pretending not to know that as his daughter, Ji Yun’s death would be a sore topic for Ji Fengyan.

“It really is… fate…” Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes a little as she gazed at Situ Ba’s solemn face. She gave a cryptic smile and held out her hand to him. “I hope General Situ would offer me his guidance from now on. I will try my best not to besmear the good name of my father.”

Her response astounded Zhan Fei. He had thought the mention of Ji Yun’s death would incense Ji Fengyan and fall out with Situ Ba. Never did he expect… Ji Fengyan was more calm than he imagined.

Situ Ba gave a cold laugh and waved his hand slightly. “Since we are already long acquainted through your father, I will definitely try my best to offer you ‘guidance’.” With that, he reached out his rough hands and clasped Ji Fengyan’s delicate little one.

However, Situ Ba suddenly felt an intense pain in the bones of his palms and fingers as he shook hands with Ji Fengyan!

Having always been confident of his own physical prowess, Situ Ba frowned as he stared at Ji Fengyan’s unchanging expression. His face darkened unwittingly.

Little crazy brat: How’s the adjustment to your daily routine?

Mou Bei:…Get lost. Let me die first.

Little crazy brat: Let me remind you, you adjusted to the weekdays.

Mou Bei: I know… I am going home to pay my respects to my ancestors. I will return to write after that…

Little crazy brat: Um hmm, I am a responsible woman. Encouraging authors to write is my duty.

Mou Bei: You just want to kill off Situ Ba to avenge your former self as soon as possible!

Little crazy brat: Don’t make me sound so bloodthirsty. I have always been a lover of peace.

Mou Bei: Ha! Ha!
