Ji Chang sighed deeply. "Many people think we tolerated them because of the expensive gifts they gave us all those years ago. But really, what were those gifts to us? My Ji Family has endured since the Primordial Era. While those things were nice, did we truly value them so highly?"
"Then why?" Ji Yuyan looked at her grandfather, her face full of suspicion.
Ji Chang sighed again. He fell silent for a long moment, a conflicted look flashing in his eyes, before he slowly said, "The Li Si who died today was the Saint Emperor's own son!"
Qin Li didn't have much of a reaction to this, as he had no idea who the Saint Emperor was. But Ji Yuyan's face went pale with shock, her rosy complexion instantly turning ashen.
She cried out, "That... that's impossible! The Saint Emperor's son... how could he do such a thing? And how could the Saint Emperor allow him to enter the world? Aren't the Saint Emperor's clan all supposed to remain in seclusion?"
