Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

On the screen, Ji Chen left the courtyard and soon arrived at the city where Ji's family was located.

There doesn't seem to be much difference between this place and when he came here many years ago.It's just that the houses on the left and right of the street look a little older, which is the trace of plating over time.

The light rain continued to fall in the sky, dark clouds covered the sky, and the vendors on both sides of the street had already taken them home.The bustling scene was gone the last time I came here, Ji Chen was walking alone on the road, his figure was too bleak and desolate.

In this way, he walked all the way to the gate of Ji's house.

It was rumored from the outside world that the Patriarch of Ji's family loved Ji Xing'er too much.

Ji Chen knew it was a fake, it was all a staged drama.

But he hoped that it was true, and that it was the old man who lied.If so, he wouldn't need to make Ji Xing'er suffer any pain that he shouldn't have to face.

Standing at the door, hesitating for a moment, Ji Chen hid the devilish energy on his body, put away the devil sword, and then raised his hand to knock on the door.

For the sake of raising Ji Xing'er for so many years, he can give the Ji family a chance.If they agree, he will take Ji Xing'er away without any murder.

If they don't agree...

Ji Chen's eyes darkened.

He doesn't mind turning the entire Ji family into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The knock on the door was quickly answered, and the man dressed as a servant glanced at the door. He couldn't feel Ji Chen's aura, so he subconsciously regarded him as an ordinary person without spiritual power.Immediately, he frowned and made a haughty look. He said: "This is not a place for you ordinary people to come. I will pretend I didn't hear you when I knocked on the door. You should leave quickly, and don't let the dust on your body get dirty." The air pollutes the gate of our Ji family."

When the voice fell, the man was about to close the door.

It's a pity that Ji Chen was one step faster than him and grabbed the door panel.

The man froze for a moment, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the door would not budge.

Frowning, he added spiritual power to his hand.According to past experience, as long as he does this, those who have no cultivation or lower cultivation than him will not be able to withstand his strength.

This is also a way of testing people.

He thought he would succeed this time, but what he didn't expect was that all the spiritual power in his body was concentrated in his hands, and when he touched the door panel again, the door still remained motionless.

"I don't have time to waste with you, I want to see Ji Xing'er." The expression on Ji Chen's face was extremely ugly, his eyes were full of viciousness, he looked very much like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

The boy was just a janitor, and he was a pretentious character. He didn't have much ability, so he was naturally taken aback.

Trembling, he replied, then turned around and fled back in a crawl.

As he ran, he looked back.It seemed that he was afraid that Ji Chen would follow and kill him on the spot.

Fortunately, Ji Chen had been standing there the whole time, just quietly watching his back, and had no intention of leaving or entering the door.

It wasn't until the servant's figure completely disappeared that Ji Chen let go of the door panel in his hand, and heaved a long sigh.

The bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, and this time he couldn't even comfort himself by deceiving others.

Perhaps a war was inevitable.

He only hoped that when he saw Ji Xing'er, the other party would ask him to help her unseal her memory, then listen to him carefully, and believe the truth he told her.

But you should believe it, right?
After all... this is his most important sister.

Ji Chen thought about this in his heart, and not long after, he saw the boy walking towards him with a woman.

The woman was very beautiful, and she was somewhat similar to Ji Xing'er in terms of appearance.The facial features proved the kinship between them, and while Ji Chen came to a conclusion in his heart, he also raised his vigilance.

Just watching the woman walk in front of him, Ji Chen didn't say a word.

The woman took the initiative to speak, her voice was crisp and pleasant, and she said: "I am Ji Xing'er's mother, just now our servants have a bad attitude, I offended you so much, I apologize to you. I just don't know who you are." Who is it? What's the matter with running to look for my daughter in this weather?"

The woman sounded very polite, but she stood at the door, blocking the way, and she didn't intend to let Ji Chen in.

Ji Chen straightforwardly said: "I am her brother, the one who sent her back to Ji's house. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Mu Qing, he sent Xing'er home with me. So..."

"You don't need to ask, I believe you." The woman suddenly laughed, she interrupted Ji Chen's explanation, her voice was gentle and full of joy.She said: "I heard from Xing'er that she has an older brother. When she first came home, she was still arguing for her brother every day. I know about you, and I don't need others to explain it. I believe it. "

As she said that, she swayed to the side and got out of the way.While smiling, he continued: "Xing'er has already rested at this time. If you don't mind, fellow Taoist come in and talk about it. Mu Qing passed away some time ago, and his cultivation level is too low. There is no way for him to live longer. Because of his departure, Xing'er is very sad. But if I can see you, I think Xing'er will be happy again."

The woman's voice was very soft, and there was no sign of lying in the words.

Ji Chen followed her into the door, his doubts getting deeper and deeper.

Could it be that I was thinking a little too much, that the old man was lying.In fact, Ji's family are good people, they treat Ji Xing'er sincerely, never thought of hurting her?
Ji Chen didn't know the answer to this question.

He followed the woman forward, but he never let go of his vigilance.

The woman took him to the room in the other courtyard, and waved to the servant to bring a pot of hot tea.Poured a cup for Ji Chen and put it in front of him. The woman smiled and said, "It's cold outside, and it's been raining for so long. I think fellow Daoist is a little cold, right? Drink some hot tea, and I'll call Xing'er over." , let you catch up on the old days."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left the room.

Looking down at the teacup in his hand, Ji Chen instinctively told him that he must not drink this tea.

But in the next second, he seemed to hear something, and the corner of his mouth suddenly turned upwards, evoking a rather pleasant arc.Then he reached out to pick up the teacup, and drank it for himself without hesitation.
