Chapter 343 Taking the Advantage
“I…” Feng Zhi pointed to herself, shook her head, and looked blank: “I don’t know what to do either.”
"I will assign them tasks."
Ji Tianzuo gave two bottles of pills to Ruohan and Qianghuan and said, "You should set off as soon as possible. I'm afraid the longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be for Jiutian."
"Yes!"
……
Meanwhile, Feng Jiutian had already been teleported to another location by the teleportation array.
This was an extremely ordinary study, but the layout of the study felt somewhat familiar to Feng Jiutian, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
A voice came from outside: "Make sure you clean the Lord's study thoroughly, or the steward will skin you alive!"
"Yes, aunt."
A maid's voice asked cautiously, "Auntie, why do we never see the Lord of the Domain cleaning this place every day?"
"Why are you asking so many questions! Hurry up and get to work!"
"boom!"
The study door was kicked open, and a girl who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old was kicked in by a middle-aged woman. Then, with another thud, the door was slammed shut.
The little girl rubbed her aching back despite the pain, her head bowed and tears welling in her eyes; she looked very aggrieved.
Hiding atop the roof beam, Feng Jiutian also remembered where she was—
The Endless Realm.
When Ling Yuan divided the Endless Realm, the first thing he did was to renovate the city where he used to live, and then he created a study that was exactly the same as the one he had in his childhood.
No wonder Feng Jiutian thought he looked so familiar, it turns out...
This is the study that Ling Yuan once created, which means that she is currently in the Domain Lord's Mansion of the Endless Domain Main City!
Feng Jiutian never expected that Ling Yuan would set the teleportation point in the study of the Endless Realm. Wasn't he afraid that he would destroy Ling Yuan's study while he was still angry?
But if you think about it carefully, the reason why Ling Yuan dared to do it was because he knew that he wouldn't do it.
Moreover, Feng Jiutian possesses the domain lord token of the Endless Domain, which means that Ling Yuan has already handed over the entire Endless Domain to Feng Jiutian, which is why he dares to be so bold and presumptuous.
Strictly speaking, this already belongs to Feng Jiutian's territory. Ling Yuan only dared to plot against Feng Jiutian because he knew that Feng Jiutian wouldn't destroy what he had obtained.
This made Feng Jiutian feel both annoyed and amused.
In some ways, Ling Yuan's calculations were quite accurate. Feng Jiutian indeed wouldn't make a move, and her anger wasn't that great. Initially, she was angry because Ling Yuan sealed her soul, but upon closer reflection, Ling Yuan didn't actually owe her anything.
Although it was a transaction, Ling Yuan not only taught her everything he knew, but also gave her the Endless Domain as an extra gift. If you really think about it carefully, Feng Jiutian actually benefited more.
All Ling Yuan asked her to do was to bring glory to the Ling family, which was an easy task for Feng Jiutian.
Thinking about it, Feng Jiutian sighed silently. Oh well, since she couldn't find her now and her soul had been retrieved, she decided not to dwell on it anymore.
She looked down into the study.
The little girl below was wiping the sweat from her brow and cleaning the furniture in the study, panting heavily.
Looking at the girl, Feng Jiutian inexplicably thought of Qingzhi, wondering how that little girl Qingzhi was doing in Dongling Kingdom.
She flipped down from the roof beam and landed in front of the little girl.
"Snapped."
The little girl dropped the burlap in her hand, stared dumbfounded at Feng Jiutian, blinked, and opened her mouth to shout—
"Shh!"
Feng Jiutian raised his index finger, and the little girl's voice caught in her throat. She looked at Feng Jiutian with great curiosity.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
As Feng Jiutian said this, he thought for a moment and forced a stiff smile: "I am your domain lord."
"No, no!"
The little girl shook her head frantically, denying Feng Jiutian's claim, and said earnestly, word by word, "Auntie said that the Domain Lord is a handsome young man, not a big ice block! And..."
The little girl said somewhat awkwardly, "You're still a woman... not our domain lord..."
"That makes a lot of sense."
Feng Jiutian stroked his chin, thinking that Ling Yuan was indeed a handsome and dashing young man when he was young, but unfortunately he liked to transform into an old man to deceive people.
"But there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me." Feng Jiutian took out the Domain Lord's Token of the Endless Domain from the Void Spirit Cauldron and held it up to the little girl's eyes, saying, "Take a closer look at what this is."
The little girl looked at Feng Jiutian suspiciously, swallowed hard, and carefully examined the token. After looking it up and down for two seconds, she took two steps back and gasped.
"Greetings, Domain Lord!"
The young girl bowed directly to Feng Jiutian.
Feng Jiutian put the token away and said softly to the little girl, "Now, can we have a proper chat?"
……
The little girl stumbled to her feet, shrinking back under Feng Jiutian's murderous gaze, which gave Feng Jiutian a headache.
She didn't think of herself as a scary person, but the little girl seemed terrified of her, as if she might hit her at any moment.
Even so, Feng Jiutian still learned everything he wanted to know from the little girl and gained a clear understanding of the current situation in the Endless Realm.
The little girl's name is Ling Sisi. She is a surviving member of the Ling family. Later, Ling Yuan became the domain lord and took over their lineage, where they settled down peacefully in the Endless Domain.
However, being a collateral branch, after Ling Yuan's disappearance, the servants became arrogant and domineering. The collateral branch of the Ling family did not learn the essence of the Ling family, so their strength has always been extremely weak, even weaker than the non-family branch that Ling Yuan adopted.
The steward managing the Endless Realm has always been a powerful figure who followed Ling Yuan from hundreds of years ago until now, and he can only turn a blind eye to what happens in the Endless Realm.
He only ensured that the collateral branches of the Ling family had enough to eat and wear, but he did not interfere in the matter of the collateral branches being bullied because of their own incompetence.
This resulted in the fact that although the collateral branches of the Ling family appeared noble, in the eyes of others they were merely masters whom everyone could bully.
This led to the situation where Sisi was kicked into the study to clean.
"They do look somewhat similar..."
Feng Jiutian stared at Ling Sisi in a daze and said something cryptic.
"what?"
Ling Sisi was confused. She shrank back, terrified of Feng Jiutian's gaze. Besides being afraid of his eyes, she was also afraid of the murderous aura emanating from him.
Feng Jiutian chuckled softly, his gaze somewhat unfocused. Yes, isn't Ling Sisi the 'Feng Jiutian' before he transmigrated here?
