CHAPTER 147: CHAPTER 147: YOUNG MASTER JI IS VERY DISTRESSED

Lu Zechuan couldn’t be bothered to argue, so he directly called Uncle Sun, asking him to find time to buy two phones, one for Shu Dao Temple and one for Shu Dao Mountain.

This time, Lu Zechuan wasn’t stopped by anyone and quickly arrived at the Ji Family.

When Ji Hua arrived at the Lu Group, he was in a hurry; he left in a rush as well. Lu Zechuan had subconsciously realized that something wasn’t right.

When he drove to the Ji Family and saw the servants looking lost and distracted, he became more convinced of his inner suspicions.

Xia Mian had just arrived and was sitting on the sofa in the Ji Family’s living room, listening to Ji Hua’s rambling, "Miss Xia, you absolutely have to save me. My family’s old ancestor, he just won’t stop!"

Speaking of the incomprehensible experiences of this time, Ji Hua had a belly full of grievances, "When you weren’t around, a woman contacted me. She said that if our Ji Family teamed up with the other two families against your Lu Family, she’d help me recover our ancestor’s items..."

"Miss Xia, I endured the risk of being haunted by our ancestor every night just to reject that woman..." Ji Hua, with dark circles under his eyes, still felt a belly full of grievances as he spoke.

Back then, it took courage for him to refuse that woman and wait for Xia Mian to return, didn’t it?

After saying this, Ji Hua saw Lu Zechuan walking in and asked weakly, "Young Master Lu, have you finished dealing with your family matters?"

Lu Zechuan replied flatly with a "Hmm" and then sat down beside Xia Mian.

Shu Dao Mountain stood behind Xia Mian, looking a bit uneasy.

Ji Hua glanced up at Shu Dao Mountain and casually asked, "Miss Xia, have you taken on an apprentice?"

"No, no, no! This is my Grand Ancestor; I’m her disciple!" Shu Dao Mountain quickly clarified.

How could he have the fortune to be Grand Ancestor’s apprentice!

Ji Hua suspiciously looked at Shu Dao Mountain and thought, is this kid out of his mind?

Xia Mian is so young, how could she be his Grand Ancestor?

But right now, Ji Hua was more concerned about his own predicament rather than the relationship between Shu Dao Mountain and Xia Mian.

"Miss Xia, please help me. As long as my family’s ancestor can stay quietly underground and not bother me again, I’ll do anything!" Ji Hua pleaded with a face full of misery, letting out a deep sigh.

Xia Mian squinted her eyes slightly and glanced at Ji Hua, "If you want peace, you’ll have to return what you took."

Ji Hua became agitated, "What did I take from my ancestor?"

Xia Mian’s lips curled up, and she slowly said, "You forgot, last time we went to your family tomb, I mentioned that one of the graves had been dug up."

Back then, Xia Mian was curious about who drove Ji Hua to the Ji Family’s ancestral tomb and why they dug that hole.

However, with her and Lu Zechuan missing, and the mysterious woman finding Ji Hua, using the loss of Ji Hua’s ancestor’s items as leverage, she seemed to understand everything.

As expected, it wasn’t just about the Ji Family; everything was ultimately targeting the Lu Family.

"Dug up?" Ji Hua widened his eyes, looking completely incredulous.

"Yes, you dug it up," Xia Mian stared into Ji Hua’s eyes, "In a state of confusion, you dug up your family tomb and took something from your ancestor’s grave."

After a pause, Xia Mian sighed lightly, "But unfortunately, in that confused state, you likely gave that item to someone else."

However, the Ji Family’s old ancestor wouldn’t care whether Ji Hua was conscious or not at that time; it was Ji Hua who went to the tomb, and Ji Hua who took the items, so the old ancestor would naturally keep pursuing Ji Hua.

Ji Hua suddenly felt his head swell, feeling more wronged than Dou E.

"Miss Xia, what should I do now!" Ji Hua was on the verge of tears.

Why was he so unlucky, and why did such inexplicable things always happen to him!

"Who was the woman who approached you?" Xia Mian raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I don’t know, all I know is that she was beautiful!" Ji Hua was flustered. At the time, a woman did approach him, but now, trying to recall her appearance, Ji Hua couldn’t remember a single detail!

"She’s from the Heavenly Maiden Clan," Shu Dao Mountain suddenly chimed in, "I sensed a faint aura of the Heavenly Maiden Clan on him."

At this, Shu Dao Mountain paused and glanced at Lu Zechuan with a complex expression, "Just earlier, on our way to the Song Family with the Grandmaster, we also encountered a woman from the Heavenly Maiden Clan, who stopped the Grandmaster’s car..."

As Shu Dao Mountain spoke, he silently said in his heart, Grandmaster, please don’t blame me; whenever there’s even the slightest disturbance around you, I would never hide it from Grand Ancestor!

After hearing Shu Dao Mountain’s words, Xia Mian furrowed her brows slightly, "Heavenly Maiden Clan?"

"Grand Ancestor, remember, the Heavenly Maiden Clan can defy fate, they are quite wicked!" Shu Dao Mountain continued, but don’t worry, the Grandmaster didn’t give her any face, and he’s very loyal to you!"

Xia Mian glanced at Lu Zechuan, "Did you encounter her?"

Lu Zechuan nodded, "Yes, Gu Zhi’s mother."

Upon hearing Lu Zechuan’s words, Ji Hua’s expression immediately changed.

Gu Zhi... again Gu Zhi!

The last time, in front of his family’s ancestral tomb, the Little Tree Demon showed a scene where Gu Zhi’s figure appeared. It all seemed to point to Gu Zhi being involved in everything.

Even the loss of his family’s old ancestor’s items might be related to Gu Zhi!

"Gu Zhi..." Xia Mian moved her lips slightly, uttering the name with deep intrigue.

"Where’s your sister?" Suddenly, Xia Mian asked an unrelated question.

Ji Hua was taken aback by the question and blinked, "Ji Ling?"

"Yes, how is she?" Xia Mian asked calmly.

"She’s recovering some during this time, though still a bit weak, but now she can stay awake for a while each day and even walk on the ground," Ji Hua looked at Xia Mian, puzzled, "Miss Xia, why do you ask about her?"

Ji Ling wouldn’t listen to their advice and insisted on getting close to Gu Zhi, almost dying due to it herself!

Previously, Ji Hua had some sibling affection for Ji Ling, but now, thinking about how the Ji Family’s recent troubles might all be because Ji Ling entangled herself with Gu Zhi, Ji Hua no longer wanted to bother with his unlucky sister!

"Nothing, take me to see her." Xia Mian said, standing up.

Although filled with questions, Ji Hua still obediently stood up and led Xia Mian upstairs.

During this period, Ji Hua was plagued by nightmares and mostly stayed at his parents’ house during the day instead of returning to the Ji Family’s old mansion.

In this period, after both Ji Ling and Ji Hua got into trouble, Ji Changxing and Mu Keying tried to find Xia Mian but couldn’t, becoming so anxious they prayed everywhere without avail, and they still hadn’t returned from the temple.

Inside Ji Ling’s room, there was only a maid taking care of her.
