Chapter 286: Ji Qingwan’s Hatred, Buried Pain
Ji Qingwan shook her head blankly. She truly didn’t know who had annihilated her Ji family. Although she had been investigating all these years, there had been no progress.
So she could only divert her attention to diligently cultivating. After all, her master had promised her that once she reached the peak of strength, he would tell her who the enemy that destroyed her family was.
“Miss Ji, have you heard of Tianji Pavilion? It’s the force that annihilated your entire Ji family!” Jiang Che took a sip of tea and said calmly.
These past few days, he had also privately inquired about Tianji Pavilion. Tianji Pavilion was a deeply entrenched force in Chuzhou, with many experts at the realm of Man and Heaven.
If he wanted to completely eradicate this force, he would definitely need the help of the Chu family. This was why he had deliberately built a good relationship with Chu Mingcheng while in Tianhai City.
“Brother Xiao Che, how do you know all this?” Shen Qingqiu, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t help but ask, her expression moved.
Even she didn’t know about these matters, as Ji Qingwan had never told her. She had always thought Ji Qingwan was just an orphan with no one to rely on.
Now, thinking back to the times Ji Qingwan would suddenly disappear for a few days and then return, it all made sense. Ji Qingwan had definitely gone out alone to seek her enemies. But why hadn’t Ji Qingwan told her about this?
“My Jiang family has some grievances with Tianji Pavilion. When I went to Tianhai City this time, I had someone investigate it, and they uncovered these things.” Jiang Che fabricated a story off the top of his head.
He didn’t need to investigate to know these things clearly since he had accepted Ji Chen’s storyline. In this twisted narrative, Ji Qingwan was still the main heroine…
After saying this, Jiang Che glanced at Ji Qingwan.
At this moment, Ji Qingwan’s eyes were filled with intense killing intent. Her pretty face was ashen, her chest heaving. Her delicate hands were clenched tightly, her teeth trembling, clearly suppressing her inner rage.
She didn’t doubt Jiang Che’s words. He had no reason to deceive her. He must be telling her this for the sake of her senior sister, Shen Qingqiu.
Understanding this, Ji Qingwan looked at Jiang Che with gratitude. She immediately stood up and walked towards the door of the living room.
Shen Qingqiu glared at Jiang Che, then quickly intercepted Ji Qingwan.
“You want to seek revenge on Tianji Pavilion?” Shen Qingqiu asked coldly, her tone indifferent.
Ji Qingwan nodded directly, acknowledging Shen Qingqiu’s words.
“Have you thought about whether you are a match for them?” Shen Qingqiu said helplessly. Although Jiang Che hadn’t elaborated on Tianji Pavilion, she could guess that this force was not simple. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the audacity to annihilate an entire family.
She had heard about the Ji family in Chuzhou from her elders when she was young. She never expected her junior sister to be the last survivor of the Ji family.
Ji Qingwan stubbornly stared at Shen Qingqiu, as if to say, “I’m not afraid!”
“You stay home and cultivate diligently. When you reach the peak of strength, I will agree to let you seek revenge. Otherwise, going now is just seeking death!” Shen Qingqiu warned sternly, feeling a headache coming on.
She understood her junior sister’s stubborn nature. Once Ji Qingwan decided on something, nothing could dissuade her. Unconsciously, Shen Qingqiu felt some resentment towards Jiang Che.
She didn’t understand why he had to tell Ji Qingwan these things, knowing it would drive her to her death.
Ji Qingwan didn’t say a word, just stared stubbornly at Shen Qingqiu.
Shen Qingqiu felt uneasy under her gaze.
“Aren’t you going to help me persuade Qingwan?” Shen Qingqiu turned to Jiang Che, her eyes filled with melancholy.
If it weren’t for Jiang Che’s words, she believed Ji Qingwan wouldn’t have such reckless thoughts. His calm words had stirred up Ji Qingwan’s deepest hatred.
“Miss Ji, if you want to seek revenge personally, it’s not possible right now. If you’re willing, I can help you.” Jiang Che stood up from the sofa, smiling at Ji Qingwan.
Hearing his words, Ji Qingwan turned to look at him, her eyes filled with suspicion. She didn’t doubt Jiang Che’s words, but she didn’t understand why he wanted to help her.
After all, she wasn’t familiar with him. Just telling her this information was already a great kindness…
