Chapter 70 What happened back then
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing what the Dan King said, Ji Chen couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
Obviously, he had not expected that his own affairs would cause such undercurrents in the imperial capital Yuntian City!
"The Ji family is marrying into the royal family, and you are the son of the emperor, so the royal family will naturally be alarmed." Yun Mu said.
Given his status, he had a lot of knowledge about what happened back then.
"But I didn't expect... that you have now severed ties with the Ji family?" He spoke again, seeming a little surprised.
Ji Chen remained silent for a long moment, "What happened back then?"
"This incident happened too long ago, and I don't know much about it. Later, I heard from others that you were found and returned to the Ji family."
"I was found when I was eight years old." Ji Chen nodded.
At that time, her mother was still alive, and she cried with joy over Ji Chen's return.
In this world, it can be said that mother is definitely the only relative who truly loves Ji Chen and has given her care and pampering.
But the good times didn't last long.
Later, he was found to have a blocked spiritual sea, making it difficult for him to practice.
The parents had a big fight over this.
After that incident, my mother left the Ji family.
Bad news followed.
It is said that after leaving the Ji family, my mother went to Yuntian City alone.
On the way, she was attacked and passed away!
"The royal family has been investigating the details of Miss Yun Xi's murder for many years, and they should have some clues by now. If you want to know the details, you can ask the royal family." Yun Mu said.
Ji Chen remained silent for a long moment before speaking, "I will."
As for the murder of his mother, Ji Chen had always thought about investigating it, whether in his past life or this life.
They were his real and only relatives!
……
Night falls.
Ji Chen left Danta.
Before leaving, Yun Mu stuffed some spirit stones into his mouth.
After all, one Qinghuo Pill cannot be paid for with the 100,000 spirit stones.
Ji Chen threw the storage bag that the other party had forced upon him into the Xuan Ring, but before that, he had opened it and taken a look. Although he did not count them carefully, he could roughly tell that there were at least 500,000 spirit stones in it!
Plus the 700,000 that Master Lin Qing had sent over earlier.
In other words, Ji Chen now has millions of spirit stones on him!
This is a huge fortune that is beyond the understanding of many people.
Even in Yuntian City, the number of families or forces that can come up with so many spirit stones at one time will definitely not exceed one handful.
After returning to the inn, Ji Chen entered his room.
He did not sleep or practice, but thought about his mother all night.
At that time, because Ji Chen was diagnosed with spiritual sea blockage, his parents had a dispute, but Ji Chen didn't know the details.
But later, since his mother was murdered, Ji Xiaotian's attitude towards him changed a lot.
Perhaps, in Ji Xiaotian's view, the reason why his mother was murdered was inextricably linked to Ji Chen!
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Ji Chen walked out of the room. He planned to go out for a walk and relax.
As soon as I walked out of the gate of the inn, I saw a young woman walking towards me.
It’s Lin Caier.
Today, she is wearing a white long dress, which makes her look like a lady from a wealthy family, but also gives people the feeling of a beautiful girl from a small family.
Ji Chen learned from Lin Caier that a gathering of young people would be held in the south of the city tonight.
The gathering place is in the "Holy Garden" in the south of the city.
It is said that this place was once the residence of Emperor Ye. Now it has been open to the public and everyone can enter. It is the most famous scenic spot in Yuntian City.
The Yehuang Ruins are about to open, and the current Yuntian City has gathered countless influential figures. In the past few days, many people have visited the Holy Garden.
I heard that this party was hosted by the third prince of the Yun Kingdom royal family. He invited many young talents in the city, and they will drink and chat in the Holy Garden tonight.
"It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look." Ji Chen said this after learning about this.
He originally planned to find a place to relax.
Moreover, Ji Chen was naturally very interested in Ye Huang’s former residence.
In addition, there are many heroes gathering tonight, and it is a good opportunity to see in advance how talented the geniuses from various major forces in Xuanyu are.
Soon, under the leadership of Lin Caier, the two headed towards the south of the city.
During this period, many people were heading in this direction on the busy and bustling streets. Most of them were young faces, and they were obviously geniuses from various forces who were rushing to the Holy Garden to participate in the gathering.
"so many people?"
It was unknown how much time had passed before Ji Chen and the other person arrived in front of the Holy Garden.
Looking around, you can see that a long line has already formed in front of the door, and many people are entering in an orderly manner.
Ji Chen and Lin Cai'er also lined up.
About quarter of an hour later, they successfully entered the Yehuang Holy Garden.
In front of the Holy Garden is a large open space with many flowers, plants and ancient trees planted, all of which are growing very lushly.
The place was filled with people, all in groups of two or three, all mingling with each other.
The two walked towards the inner courtyard and came to a lake. The clear water reflected the bright moon, and the scenery was very charming.
"Cai'er."
Not far ahead, a figure walked over.
It’s Raymond Lam.
The eldest son of the Lin family was also invited here tonight.
When he saw his sister, he came over immediately.
"Who is this……"
Lin Feng looked at Ji Chen and had some impression of him.
I met him once in the inn yesterday and learned that he was also a disciple of Yuhua Sect, but I didn't know his specific identity.
Now seeing Ji Chen appear with Lin Cai'er, Lin Feng is not stupid and can guess that there is probably a close relationship between the two.
"This is Ji Chen. When he was still in the outer sect, he took good care of me. Not long ago, he successfully passed the outer sect competition. Now he is an inner sect disciple and will participate in this trip to the Yehuang Ancient Ruins." Lin Cai'er started to introduce them.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling a little surprised.
As far as he knew, the one hundred disciples of Yuhua Sect who participated in the Yehuang Ancient Ruins were all geniuses on the Inner Sect Potential Dragon List.
In other words, Ji Chen, who had just joined the inner sect not long ago, is now on the list?
"My name is Lin Feng, nice to meet you, Brother Ji. Thank you for taking care of Cai'er in Yuhua Sect." Although he was a little surprised, Lin Feng clasped his fists towards Ji Chen without showing any expression.
"Brother Lin, you don't need to be polite. This is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."
Ji Chen clasped his fists in return, feeling the extraordinary aura of Lin Feng. This was a proud son who was famous throughout the Yun Kingdom. His cultivation surpassed many of his peers. Among the younger generation of the Yun Kingdom, few could compare with him.
