However, even though her expression was ugly, Granny Rong didn’t dare to reprimand Ji Ruoyan.

After all, there was a difference in status. Granny Rong had the strength of a Martial Lord and had a certain status in the Ji Clan.

However, towards the second-ranked successor such as Ji Ruoyan, Granny Rong had no choice but to grit her teeth and swallow her grievances.

Ji Yanran didn’t look any better cither.

“Little Yan, Granny Rong is a senior in our family. How can you talk to her like that? Even if you’re the second-rank successor now, you can’t treat old people like them who have risked their lives for the family like this. If word gets back, many people will be disappointed.”

After suppressing the anger in her heart, Ji Yanran accused Ji Ruoyan.

“Up to you. Also, I advise you to keep your petty tricks to yourself. Don’t cause trouble for yourself.”

Ji Ruoyan didn’t take Ji Yanran’s attitude to heart at all.

In any case, the two sides were not on good terms to begin with. If they fell out, so be it. It was not a big deal. Even if she were to compromise, it was not like Ji Yanran would stop making things difficult for her.

“Alright, I still have something to deal with, so I won’t be accompanying you.” Then, without waiting for Ji Yanran to act up, Ji Ruoyan stood up and left the meeting room.

As for the guard Martial Grandmaster, he naturally walked out quickly.

Seeing Ji Ruoyan’s attitude, Ji Yanran couldn’t help but feel her chest tighten with anger.historical

“Let’s go.” Then, Ji Yanran, who was burning with anger, shouted in a low voice.

Although she was angry, Ji Yanran didn’t dare to throw a tantrum in the Myriad Commerce Association.

This place was the opponent’s home ground to begin with. If she flipped out here, it would be no different from giving Ji Ruoyan a chance to target her. Ji Yanran naturally wouldn’t be so brainless.

She had to think of another way when she got back.

Ji Yanran left the Myriad Commerce Association angrily.

Ji Ruoyan had already returned to the small courtyard on the fifth floor. She was listening to the report from the guard Martial Grandmaster.

“Miss, Ji Yanran and that old woman have already left the commerce association. Looking at their route, they should be returning to the Wanxian Restaurant.”

“Keep an eye on them.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyan fell silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

“Understood.” After receiving the order, the Martial Ancestor immediately left the courtyard to arrange for the order.

Ji Ruoyan was left frowning in the courtyard.

Meanwhile, Ji Yanran, who had quickly returned, said to Granny Rong in a cold voice, “Ji Ruoyan’s status in the clan has improved a lot. We can’t bluff our way into this. Besides, this place is her home ground. What should we do now?”

“Miss Yanran, I think sometimes we can make use of someone to do the work. Don’t we already have a candidate that can be used?”

At this moment, the furious Granny Rong suggested.

“You mean, we should get Wu Jian involved in this matter.”

Hearing Granny Rong’s words, Ji Yanran instantly understood what she meant.

“Miss Yanran, the strength of the Wu Clan is not inferior to our Ji Clan. If Wu Jian were to fight with that prodigy here because of Ji Ruoyan’s jealousy and then unfortunately get injured, wouldn’t it attract his elder brother – Wu Yan – to get involved in this matter?”

Granny Rong, on the other hand, had a grim look on her face.

Upon hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Ji Yanran’s face. This idea was extremely risky!

If anything happened, she might be implicated.

“Miss Yanran, you have to think carefully. If you don’t take this opportunity to knock Ji Ruoyan down from the position of second-ranked successor, you might not even have a chance to make a comeback in the future.”

There was a hesitant expression on Ji Yanran’s face.

Granny Rong, who was sitting opposite her, added fuel to the fire.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Ji Yanran’s eyes. Then, she gritted her teeth and said, “It’s decided. I’ll go find Wu Jian first.”

After saying that, Ji Yanran stood up and walked out of the room. She headed to the room where Wu Jian was.

Looking at Ji Yanran’s leaving figure, Granny Rong’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.

While Ji Yanran and Ji Ruoyan were making their own plans, Su Yu, who was far away in the sea area of the Beastman Dynasty, found another Level 10 island.

However, this Level 10 island was a little different from the other Level 10 islands he had previously encountered. There were Beastman soldiers guarding this island.

“I wonder if those big shots up there have nothing better to do. They actually sent us to guard such a small island in the middle of nowhere.”

As Su Yu sat in the driver’s seat of the Ghost Ship, he managed to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two pig-headed people on the island.

“Sigh, who doesn’t know? This lousy place doesn’t have any mine. It’s just bare land. It’s too small to even plant crops. I don’t know why we have to guard this place! I really miss being back in the dynasty.”

Listening to the conversation between the two pig-headed people at the shoreline of the island, Su Yu used his spiritual power to read their recent memories..
