God of Pets

Chapter 717 Unexpected People

After Chen Guan carried Ji Nanhong out of the teleportation array, he had just mounted his horse and was about to leave when he saw a man in an officer's uniform riding a horse standing on the road ahead, seemingly waiting for them.

“Miss, the commander sent me back to tell you that if you are willing to return to the Ji family, you will still be the eldest daughter of the Ji family, and he will compensate you.” The officer said to Ji Nanhong.

Ji Nanhong sat on her horse, leaning against Chen Guan's chest. She did not answer, but looked at Chen Guan.

“Go back and tell Ji Beizhu that some debts are beyond his ability to repay,” Chen Guan said, spurring his horse around the officer and preparing to leave.

"How dare you! I'm speaking to the young lady, who do you think you are?" the officer said coldly, his tone contemptuous and ruthless.

“Lieutenant Li, you should go back. His absence means our father-daughter relationship is over. May we each find our own peace from now on,” Ji Nanhong said.

"Young Miss..." Lieutenant Li was a little anxious and wanted to say something more.

“Lieutenant Li, you don’t need to say anything more. He didn’t come, which shows his loyalty to the country and his country. Everything I lost was what he wanted. I’ve done my duty as a son and daughter. From now on, may we never meet again.”

Seeing that Lieutenant Li was still unwilling to give up and wanted to say something, Ji Nanhong continued, "Since I am not surnamed Ji, then let this surname Ji and the name Nanhong that he gave me be returned to him as well. From now on, there will be no more Ji Nanhong in this world."

"Miss, you..."

"Lieutenant Li, there is no Miss here anymore. If you see me again, you may pretend not to see me, or call me Madam Chen." After saying this, Ji Nanhong gestured for Chen Guan to leave.

Seeing Chen Guan drive away with Ji Nanhong, Lieutenant Li did not stop him or say anything more.

Ji Nan Hong has already returned the name, which shows that she has no feelings for him and is determined to have nothing to do with Commander Ji anymore. Now, anything he says will be meaningless.

“Young Miss, why are you doing this? Once you leave the Ji family, every step you take will be fraught with difficulties,” Lieutenant Li sighed in the direction they had left.

Chen Guan led Ji Nanhong to find a place to stay, given the current special circumstances.

Ji Nanhong is currently in an unawakened state, so it's impossible to take her to Ziyang City. If she enters the secret realm, she can only enter the blessed land, and it will be an unknown random teleportation.

Given Ji Nan Hong's current condition, it is absolutely not suitable for her to enter the secret realm.

Chen Guan also needs to make some preparations for her. The plans that the Ji family had made for her in the past can no longer be followed. Chen Guan needs to devise new strategies for her.

He couldn't take her back to his own home either. If that young master knew that Ji Nan Hong had broken ties with the Ji family, he might come to eliminate her completely to prevent future troubles. Chen Guan didn't want to implicate his family.

So he could only find a place to stay temporarily in a nearby city, and there were some things he still needed to figure out.

Everyone knows that although the Chief Justice has three wives, he has no biological children. Legend has it that it was because the Chief Justice was infertile that the ten great families elected him as Chief Justice, and he has been in that position for eight hundred years. The originally decided system of rotating Chief Justices has not been implemented.

Chen Guan felt that these legends did make some sense. If the judge had descendants, they would probably form an eleventh family and challenge the status of the top ten families.

There are only ten Great Cave Heavens. If one emerges, another must fall.

If it were Chen Guan, he wouldn't create a potential enemy for himself either. For the ten great families, a judge who cannot have children and has no offspring would be a good judge.

But now that judge actually has a son. According to Ji Nanhong, the son is not the judge's adopted child, but his blood relative.

Otherwise, why would the judge have gone to such great lengths to find Ji Nanhong and entrust her to Ji Beizhu for upbringing? He wouldn't have gone to such lengths for an adopted son.

"How do you know he is the judge's biological son? Didn't you say that he wasn't present, but that you had already placed a secret technique on you so that once you successfully achieved the Seventh Awakening, all your talents and abilities would be separated and transferred to him?" Chen Guan asked in detail.

"The technique used by the judge is called the Life-Exchange Technique, which can exchange the destinies of two people. When I reached the seventh level of enlightenment, the Life-Exchange Technique that had already been planted in me was automatically activated, and I sensed his presence. The feeling was very strange. I knew he was far away, not even in the same secret realm, but because my destiny ability was transferred to him, I had a brief perception of him."

Ji Nanhong said coldly, "He should have sensed my presence at that moment. Originally, we were supposed to exchange fates. I lost my own talent and should have gained his talent and other abilities. But he used some method to retain his own fate and provocatively released his will, letting me know everything. Otherwise, I would not understand what happened at all. It seems that he wanted to use this blow to completely break my will."

"Do you know who he is?" Chen Guan asked again.

Ji Nanhong hesitated for a moment before looking into Chen Guan's eyes and nodding slightly, saying, "You know that person too."

"Who?" Chen Guan had a bad feeling; this was someone he hadn't expected.

"An Yiqi." Ji Nanhong finally said that person's name.

"He's the judge's son? That's really unexpected." Chen Guan sighed. This was indeed someone he hadn't expected at all.

Although he was mentally prepared, Chen Guan was still very surprised.

If Ji Nanhong hadn't said it herself, he really wouldn't have believed that someone like An Yiqi could be the judge's secret child.

"Is he still with the Crimson Blood Legion?" Chen Guan asked in turn.

“Even if he hadn’t left the cave long ago, now that he has my talent and abilities, he has already reached the Great Cave Heaven at the Seventh Awakening stage. The Chief Judge must have made perfect arrangements and will not give us another chance to see him,” Ji Nanhong said.

“It’s alright. Let’s take care of our own things first. You need to start cultivating again, but we can’t go down the old path again. This time, we’ll take a different route,” Chen Guan said.

“I have been stripped of my destiny, and my physical talents will inevitably be damaged. I’m afraid I will have difficulty achieving great things in the future,” Ji Nanhong said.

"This is not a big problem. Let me think about it carefully. I will rebuild the path to heaven for you and turn it into a broad and smooth road," Chen Guan said with a smile.

Seeing Chen Guan's confidence, Ji Nanhong felt more at ease. When her destiny ability was stripped away, she felt like the sky had fallen.

But now she no longer feels panicked at all. As long as Chen Guan is by her side, she is not afraid of anything. Even if she cannot recover, it seems that staying at home to be a good wife and mother is not a bad idea.

Chen Guan naturally wouldn't let Ji Nanhong give up so easily. Even if she wanted to return to the countryside, she had to get her revenge first.

He had to settle the score with the judge, the Heavenly Army, and An Yiqi for Ji Nanhong. If Ji Nanhong wanted to take it back herself, he would do everything in his power to help her fulfill her wish.
