Suddenly, the crowd below changed color.
What was going on with Ji Xinyi? Her blind date should be Ouyang Chen; why was she chatting so happily with Qin Chen?
Moreover, from Ji Xinyi's words, it seemed she was very interested in Qin Chen. Could she be infatuated with Tian Gong's Qin Chen?
However, as soon as this thought arose, everyone understood. Upon careful reflection, given Qin Chen's terrifying performance earlier, as well as his unparalleled talent and strength, if they were women, they might also be attracted to Qin Chen.
Only Ouyang Chen, standing aside, looked instantly pale and awkward.
What was even more surprising was that Ji Tianyao and Ji Tianqi, who were nearby, didn’t react at all.
In fact, Ji Tianyao initially wanted to stop it, but seeing Ji Xinyi actively tempting Qin Chen, he couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart.
He was quite familiar with Ji Xinyi's charm. As the saintess of the Ji Family, almost no young man in the Ji Family was indifferent to her.
Now that Ji Ruyue was imprisoned in the back mountain and was unlikely to be released easily, and had already been promised to the Xiao Clan, if Ji Xinyi could entice Qin Chen and change his mind to like her instead, that would be a good outcome.
At that time, Ji Xinyi could be promised to Qin Chen, while Ouyang Chen could find another woman from the Ji Family to be matched with. This way, everyone would be happy.
Ji Xinyi exhaled lightly, her fiery red lips moving closer to Qin Chen, filled with endless temptation.
She chuckled inwardly, not believing that Qin Chen would not be tempted by her.
Unexpectedly, Qin Chen’s expression suddenly changed, and he said sternly, “Ji Xinyi, please show some respect for Ruyue. Be mindful of your status; Ruyue is not someone you can speak ill of!”
Boom! A terrifying aura erupted from Qin Chen, pressing down on Ji Xinyi.
What does status and bloodline matter?
Ji Ruyue’s identity was not something Ji Xinyi could slander.
Anyone could insult him, but they could not insult Ruyue, the woman he cared for.
Stumbling back, Ji Xinyi stepped back a few paces under Qin Chen’s pressure, her hair disheveled, her expression a mix of shock and anger.
This madman.
Ji Xinyi's face flushed red, furious and exasperated.
How detestable, this brat was simply too infuriating.
“Young Master Qin, what are you doing?”
Ji Xinyi nearly exploded on the spot but took a deep breath, managing to suppress the anger within her. She took a breath, forcing out a smile and said, “Young Master Qin, what are you doing?”
Qin Chen coldly glanced at Ji Xinyi and said, “Ji Xinyi, your man is over there. In the future, I don’t want to hear any bad words about Ruyue from your mouth. If it weren't for you and Ruyue both being from the Ji Family, this Vice Hall Master would definitely not spare you.”
Qin Chen snorted coldly.
“You…” Ji Xinyi had never suffered such humiliation, gritting her teeth, her expression a mix of shame and anger. “Qin Chen, you are going too far. What is so good about Ji Ruyue? Isn’t she just taking my position as the saintess and is to be sent away…”
“Xinyi, shut up!”
Ji Tianyao’s expression changed, hurriedly sending a voice transmission to interrupt Ji Xinyi.
Ji Xinyi knew she had made a mistake and immediately closed her mouth, not saying a word.
“What?
Ruyue is to be sent away for what?”
Qin Chen’s gaze turned cold as he suddenly sensed something was off. Boom! A terrifying aura erupted from him, instantly crashing down on Ji Xinyi, binding her and making it hard for her to breathe.
“Vice Hall Master Qin, stop!”
Ji Tianyao hurriedly stepped forward, a dreadful aura from the chaos ancient formation descending, preventing Qin Chen from targeting Ji Xinyi. The overwhelming pressure caused Qin Chen to stagger back two steps, his expression slightly changing.
As a pinnacle heaven venerable ancestor, Ji Tianyao’s strength and aura were too strong.
“Ha ha, Vice Hall Master Qin, Xinyi means no harm. As for what she said earlier, it concerns a legacy of our Ji Family, leading to your misunderstanding.”
