“Fifth Senior Brother left me a tracking talisman.” Si Fuqing pulled a piece of talisman paper from her pocket, biting her fingertip to let a drop of blood fall onto it.

Quickly, three characters appeared on the talisman.

Sijiu City.

Her godfather had taken Ji Qingwei directly from the Muston Dukedom to Sijiu City!

Not even the leader of the Evolved Beings Alliance possessed such power.

The two sisters exchanged a glance and hurriedly hopped into their cars.

...

As Si Fuqing sped down the road, she grabbed her phone and dialed Yu Xiheng’s number. “Brother Nine, I need to borrow the MO family’s plane.”

**

At this moment, in the Thousand Army Alliance.

Ji Qingyao had just finished her training for the day. As she exited the training grounds, many guards greeted her.

With so few female members in the alliance, and Ji Qingyao’s striking looks, many members harbored secret infatuations for her.

Yet whenever someone mustered the courage to ask Ji Qingyao out, they would often find themselves abruptly assigned various tasks by JIANG Shuihan, prompting complaints from the members.

Today was no different.

After sending off the other members, JIANG Shuihan nodded at Ji Qingyao. “Miss Qingyao.”

Ji Qingyao clasped her fists in respect. “Captain Jiang.”

“You’ve reached Level Eight now; no need for such formalities with me.” Jiang Shuihan smiled slightly. “Have you heard about the Ji family? Old Master Ji is in the hospital, your parents have liquidated their assets, and that younger sister of yours…”

Ji Qingyao was a martial arts enthusiast who showed little interest in the outside world.

Members of the Thousand Army Alliance were well aware of the Ji family’s attitude towards her, so they avoided mentioning it in her presence.

It was indeed the first time she had learned about the Ji family’s situation. She paused for a moment, then slowly shook her head. “I don’t feel anything.”

There was nothing to stir her emotions.

In the past, she might have longed for familial affection, but she eventually realized that some things couldn’t be wished into existence.

Over time, her heart had turned completely cold.

“That’s good. I was worried you might feel upset.” Jiang Shuihan smiled again. “You should go take a break. Ignore any unknown calls.”

Ji Qingyao replied softly, “Thank you for your concern, Captain JIANG.”

During this period, her parents, Ji Longtai and his wife, had called her several times from different numbers, all of which she had blocked. She had no desire to hear what they had to say.

JIANG Shuihan watched Ji Qingyao leave before heading to see Mu Qingmeng. “Lady, that couple from the Ji family has come again. They seem to be drowning in debt and have nowhere else to turn.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingmeng turned to Xiao Wenzhan. “I plan to take Qingyao as my goddaughter. You have no objections, right?”

“None at all.” Xiao Wenzhan shook his head. “I’ve always wanted a daughter; who would have thought I ended up with a little brat?”

Mu Qingmeng nodded. “Shuihan, inform everyone that from today onwards, Qingyao is our daughter. No unrelated parties are allowed in the Thousand Army Alliance’s territory.”

“Understood, Lady.” JIANG Shuihan acknowledged before walking out.

Outside the Thousand Army Alliance, Ji Longtai and Mrs. Ji were blocked at the entrance by guards, continually clamoring to see Ji Qingyao.

“Please leave, both of you.” JIANG Shuihan said blandly. “You were the ones who chose to sever ties with Miss Qingyao. Are you now regretting that decision?”

“There’s no such thing as severing ties between parents and children!” Ji Longtai’s face flushed red with anger. “If you won’t let me see Qingyao, I’ll sue you!”

“Feel free to sue. You gave her life but never raised her. She has been raised by the Thousand Army Alliance, and you have no claim over her,” JIANG Shuihan said with a smile. “Additionally, Miss Qingyao has been taken in as a goddaughter by the Alliance Leader and his wife. Do you really think you can compete with the Thousand Army Alliance for her?”

These words struck Ji Longtai like a thunderbolt. He could hardly believe what he heard. “What…what?!”

Taken in as a goddaughter by the Alliance Leader and his wife?

Didn’t that mean Ji Qingyao had the opportunity to inherit the Thousand Army Alliance?

At the very least, she would hold a significant position!

This was something he had never dared to dream of in his life.

Ji Longtai felt a sensation akin to ants gnawing at his heart, as an overwhelming regret drowned all his thoughts.

If he had treated Ji Qingyao well from the beginning, without favoring Ji Qingwei, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.

But now, while Ji Qingwei had ruined the Ji family, Ji Qingyao was soaring to new heights, leaving them far behind.

Not to mention now, even in the past, the Ji family couldn’t compare to a single guard squad of the Thousand Army Alliance.

Ji Longtai stood there in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

Mrs. Ji couldn’t help but break down in tears again. “What have we done to deserve this? That monk once said that in less than two months, all of us from the Ji family would die. Longtai, could this possibly be true?”

At that time, she had only thought of it as a joke, but now, she felt a wave of panic.

“Hurry! We must go to Guanghua Temple!” Ji Longtai suddenly jolted to life. “There might still be a chance!”

Mrs. Ji also snapped out of her stupor and hurriedly followed Ji Longtai to Guanghua Temple.

The monk had just emerged from the main temple with a small light snack, intending to sneak out for some barbecue.

“Master!” Ji Longtai exclaimed urgently. “Please wait!”

The monk paused, looking somewhat displeased. “Why have you come, two donors?”

“Master, I was blind and deaf and didn’t believe your words. I’ve come to apologize,” Ji Longtai said, clasping his hands and bowing three times. “Please, Master, save us.”

“I already warned you both long ago, but you didn’t stop your daughter,” the monk replied with a pitying expression. “I’m afraid it’s too late now.”

Ji Longtai staggered, his body swaying. “Too late? Master, what do you mean?”

“It means there’s no hope left.” The monk was eager to get to his barbecue, growing impatient. “You should seek someone more capable.”

Ji Longtai grew frantic and stepped forward, reaching for the monk’s robes. Just then, his eyes widened, and his body suddenly felt as if something had been drained from him. He collapsed, slipping into a deep unconsciousness.

The young monk jumped back in fright, immediately hiding behind the older monk, trembling. “Master!”

The monk’s expression turned grave as he sighed deeply. “His luck has been exhausted.”
