Chapter 122 There Is A Vision In The Sky
In the capital, the atmosphere in the Ji family's reception hall was lively.
The chill of early spring was dissipated by the indoor atmosphere, with delicious food and wine and a full house of guests.
Today is not only a day for the Ji family, as the talkers of China, to communicate and discuss with many aristocratic families, but it is also Ji Chang's 99th birthday banquet.
Ji Chang frequently raised his glass and drank with the guests who came to toast.
Every time he drank a cup, he would take a long and joyful breath.
Ji Chang, the actual controller of the Ji family.
His eyes were blurred, looking at everything in front of him, as if he was a little tipsy.
But he was extremely hot inside.
It’s great to be young!
He has already defeated a large number of competitors, and the heads of aristocratic families sitting in the audience are basically the sons or grandsons of his competitors back then.
Although the position of head of the Ji family is now occupied by Ji Fa.
But Ji Fa is only responsible for the tedious and complicated daily affairs, and the power is still in Ji Fa's hands.
Just like now, when he asked Ji Fa to go to the Zhao family's territory to investigate the conflicts between local residents and Mao Zi, he had to go to the Northeast alone.
Ji Chang saw Ji Fa's little thoughts.
Ji Chang had no interest in Ji Fa's old body. He had to have someone to wipe his ass in the open.
What's more, Ji Fa, the second son, has given himself such a big surprise:
The first time, it was his eldest daughter.
The second time, it was the daughter of his second daughter.
Ji Chang couldn't help but glance at the female dependents area. The seats belonging to Ji Fa's daughter and granddaughter in the female dependents area were actually empty!
He turned to look at Ji Fei, who quickly sent a message:
"Ancestor, please be patient. Yuanyuan just knocked over the bowl. They will be back soon."
Ji Chang nodded, and another young man came to toast him, and he returned the toast.
However, after the young man finished his toast, he did not put down his wine glass, but asked with a smile:
"Ancestor of the Ji family, I wonder why the head of the Ji family is not here today? Our Li family still has some trivial matters related to business, and I would like to disturb you."
When Ji Chang heard this, his eyelids twitched, and his many years of experience immediately made him make up a reason:
"You can discuss such a small matter with Ji Fei. My son learned a few days ago that my birthday was approaching, and he insisted on going to the wilderness to find a deer antler to replenish my health."
Ji Chang's tone at this time contained a hint of happiness in his reproach, and there was no trace of the fact that he was an S-class superpower.
However, the other junior surnamed Li didn't take it seriously. Instead, he laughed and praised Ji Fa's filial piety and then withdrew.
Sitting down in his seat, the young head of the family, who had only been in office for a few years, swept the Zhao family's seats.
Zhao Sheng is not here either.
He looked at each other with several family heads.
They believed in their own people more than what Ji Chang said.
They speculated that Ji Chang was old and was about to burp.
Before he died, he wanted to play a big game.
According to normal circumstances, once Ji Chang dies and the Ji family loses the S-class support, it is uncertain whether they can secure their position as China's talker.
They are both A-level, how can you, Ji Fa, be better than others?
Ji Fa, who did not appear at the banquet, was either already in seclusion and breaking through to S level, or he was plotting another possibility:
Get rid of these opponents.
Combining the conversations they saw with Zhao Sheng in the snowy mountains and the capital, they came to the conclusion:
The Ji family really wants to take action against them.
Of course, the main reason is because Ji Fa's superpower is a black snake, not a black turtle.
The Ji family has been talking about China for so long, and other aristocratic families have some understanding of their family's secret history.
Ji Fa was not originally a candidate for the head of the family, his brother Ji Kao was.
A turtle and a snake are both key elements of Xuanwu.
But the importance of the black turtle is much more important than the blood of the black snake that only provides a snake head.
The twins of the Ji family, Ji Yu and Jina, who also did not appear today, are what they regard as the biggest threat to the Ji family in the next fifty years.
After swallowing a sip of wine, the head of the Li family felt a chill spreading in his stomach.
Ji's wine is good. Compared with the burning effects of other white wines, it is actually more comfortable.
Three minutes later, the head of the Li family felt his eyes go dark, but he quickly adapted. It turned out that the light in the room was starting to dim.
There was an uproar in the hall, and the Ji family's men quickly lit oil lamps indoors.
The oil of the deep-sea giant whale exudes a unique and strange aroma, and the yellowish light sways in the room.
Seeing that everyone was uneasy, Ji Chang quickly comforted and said:
"Everyone, don't panic. This is supposed to be a solar eclipse. It's a small matter. Please eat and drink to your heart's content."
The crowd in the audience stopped being restless. However, the head of the family named Li remembered some ancestral teaching:
Whenever it is dark during the day, remember not to be in the same room with a child named Ji.
The head of the family named Li quickly stood up:
"That's right, everyone, please be patient and listen to the head of the Ji family."
Then, he walked naturally towards the outside:
"Hey, I drank too much, I'm going to put some water..."
Although he behaved extremely naturally, when he reached the door, several supernatural beings from the Ji family still surrounded him.
"Master Li, the toilet is at the back of the hall. You don't have to go out..."
Ji Fei seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
At this time, the head of the family named Li could already see everything happening outside:
The originally sunny sky in spring was now shrouded in dark clouds, and the wind was blowing hard outside. The wind blew up countless flying sand and rocks, and the visibility was frighteningly low.
The head of the family named Li could no longer clearly see the buildings not far away.
Looking up again, the sun was half swallowed by darkness.
It was really a solar eclipse. The head of the family named Li was a little hesitant, but he still went to the toilet honestly.
When he came back, he took a special look outside the house.
There was only a slit left in the sun, and he noticed that his heartbeat seemed to be a little too fast.
It felt like something was squeezing the blood at the position of the heart, and my throat felt a little itchy!
He turned to look at Ji Chang.
Somehow, Ji Chang's kind face seemed to look a little ferocious under the candlelight.
