What’s going on?
Many people's gazes flickered; they were all old foxes present and sensed something was amiss.
“Hehe, what’s the matter? Is there something hard to say?”
The head of the Xiao Clan smiled casually and said, “Isn’t it true?
A few days ago, my Xiao Clan wished to form a marriage alliance with your Ji Family, and didn’t your Ji Family agree quite readily?
Let me think, at that time, the one you promised to be my eighteenth concubine was your Ji Family’s saintess, right?”
“Head of the Xiao Clan.”
Ji Tianyao's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, while the other powerhouses of the Ji Family also looked tense.
Ji Tianyao’s face was a mix of emotions as he said in a deep voice, “Head of the Xiao Clan, my Ji Family has been diligent and earnest over the years, and we haven’t offended the Xiao Clan, have we?
Today is the day my Ji Family is celebrating; I hope the head of the Xiao Clan will give me some face.”
What’s the matter?
Many’s gazes flickered, clearly sensing the situation.
The Ji Family's saintess being given to the head of the Xiao Clan as a concubine was indeed somewhat embarrassing; if this got out, it wouldn't sound good.
However, it wasn’t a huge deal, right?
Now that the ancient clans regard the Xiao Clan as the respected one, the Ji Family lives in their shadow. Sometimes, to compromise, offering women from the clan as concubines to some strong figures is quite normal.
Moreover, being given to Xiao Wujin, the head of the Xiao Clan, while calling him a concubine sounds unpleasant, it could still be managed.
However, Ji Tianyao’s current state made many change color; could there be more to this?
The head of the Xiao Clan looked at Ji Tianyao in surprise and asked, “Ji Tianyao, what do you mean?
Although your Ji Family is holding a martial arts contest for marriage with various forces, my Xiao Clan is a ruler of the Ancient Realm.
Even though your Ji Family's saintess is to become Xiao Wujin's concubine as the eighteenth concubine, it shouldn’t tarnish your Ji Family’s reputation, right?”
Ji Tianyao’s face turned pale, filled with shock and anger.
Xiao Wujin propped up his chin and continued to chuckle, saying, “Let me think, who is your Ji Family’s saintess?
It should be Ji Xinyi, right?
I remember that for the past thousands of years, it has always been Ji Xinyi as the saintess, hasn’t it?”
Suddenly, everyone’s expressions changed.
Boom! Various voices of discussion broke out.
What’s happening here?
The Ji Family’s saintess, Ji Xinyi, has already been given to Xiao Wujin as the eighteenth concubine?
What’s going on?
On the arena.
Ji Xinyi’s face turned pale.
The strong members of the Ji Family looked furious but remained silent.
This left people changing color, deep in thought. It seemed there was indeed some truth to this.
The ones with the worst expressions were still the Void Temple Master and Ouyang Chen.
Ouyang Chen couldn’t contain himself and stood up furiously, saying, “Head of the Xiao Clan, what nonsense are you spouting?”
He couldn’t accept this.
He had fought hard, defeating countless prodigies, to win over the woman, only to find out she was promised as a concubine to someone else, especially to an old man like Xiao Wujin. How could he accept that?
His mind couldn’t bear it.
“Head of the Xiao Clan, don’t speak carelessly; I am no longer the Ji Family's saintess; the Ji Family's saintess is someone else.”
Ji Xinyi shouted sharply, agitated with disheveled hair.
“Xinyi, shut your mouth.”
Ji Tianyao hurriedly shouted in anger.
“Oh, right, I completely forgot.”
Xiao Wujin rubbed his head, “Ah, I was reckless; I heard that your Ji Family temporarily revoked your saintess title and appointed someone else. My apologies.”
Xiao Wujin cupped his hands to Ouyang Chen and said, “Young friend Ouyang, don’t be upset; it’s a misunderstanding.”
Ouyang Chen took a heavy breath, looking gloomy but remained silent.
Xiao Wujin turned and smiled, “I just received a message from Elder Ji Nan'an of your Ji Family that the Ji Family's saintess has changed from Ji Xinyi to another Ji Family girl.”
