C1937 Jiong Qi Qi's Request
2Looking at Ye Hongtian, who was still waiting for her answer, Jiong Qi Qi felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head with a slightly red face and twisted her two fingers together.
"Actually, I want to talk to you about something, but I don't know what to say. There are still some things to talk about at the banquet. Do you have time to talk to me?" After a moment of hesitation, she said.
Ye Hongtian tilted his head and stared at Jiong Qi Qi in confusion. He couldn't guess what the second young lady of the Heavenly Fire Family wanted to talk about.
At first, Ye Hongtian was still hesitating whether he should talk to Jiong Qi Qi or not. Then, he thought of the reason why the First Elder of the Heavenly Fire Family wanted him to stay. The second young lady of the Heavenly Fire Family had lost all her innocence. For some reason, she felt guilty. He nodded to show that he had time.
Seeing Ye Hongtian nod, Jiong Qi Qi's face was immediately filled with joy. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she immediately took Ye Hongtian's hand and left.
"Come with me! It's best not to be seen by others, otherwise it will be very troublesome to explain."
As she spoke, she brought Ye Hongtian to a relatively remote courtyard in the Heavenly Fire Family. After confirming that no one was following them, Jiong Qi Qi let out a sigh of relief.
This courtyard was located in a relatively remote location in the Heavenly Fire Family. In addition, the courtyard wasn't large, so the only room that looked simple was the residence of the servants of the Heavenly Fire Family. If anyone saw it, they would subconsciously think that it was the residence of the servants of the Heavenly Fire Family.
Ye Hong Tian looked around the courtyard and asked Jiong Qi Qi, "This is?"
"This is my residence. It doesn't look very good. Don't mind it." Jiong Qi Qi replied with a bitter smile.
Hearing this answer, Ye Hongtian was a little surprised. He really didn't expect Jiong Qi Qi to enjoy the treatment of a servant in the Heavenly Fire Family. This was too exaggerated.
He gradually couldn't understand why the Heavenly Fire Family valued men more than women. Jiong Yuan and Jiong Qi Qi were biological siblings, which meant that Jiong Qi Qi was also the biological son of the Heavenly Fire Family's head. It was too cruel to treat his own child like this.
He sized up the second young lady of the Heavenly Fire Family again. She didn't look old. She was wearing a full set of clothes. She had the strength of a sixth level Awakened, and her outstanding appearance. If not for the fact that he was born in the Skyfire family, which prioritized males over females, he would probably be a beauty that many male martial artists dreamt of.
Sighing heavily, Ye Hong Tian felt pity for Jiong Qi Qi, who was born in a family like the Heavenly Fire Family. He looked at Jiong Qi Qi with sympathy.
"Tell me why you're looking for me. Although I haven't been with Jiong Yuan for a long time, I don't think so. Okay." Ye Hongtian leaned against the wall of the courtyard and said calmly.
After Ye Hongtian said this, Jiong Qi Qi had a strange expression on her face. She didn't know why, but she probably thought that Ye Hongtian was only willing to talk to her because of Jiong Yuan.
After that, she shook her head and her expression became serious. She stared into Ye Hongtian's eyes and said, "I hope you can take me with you when you leave Sky Fire City!"
"Huh?" Ye Hongtian thought he had misheard her. He opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief, "You just said you want me to take you with me when I leave? Did I misheard you? "
"Yes, you didn't misheard me. I hope you can take me with you when you leave." Jiong Qi Qi seriously said it again.
Ye Hongtian, who had confirmed that he wasn't hallucinating, felt a headache. He couldn't help but cover his forehead with one hand and think about what was going on.
As the second young lady of the Heavenly Fire Family, she wanted to leave the family and live on her own because the family valued males more than females. She was treated like a servant.
This seemed to be the real idea of Jiong Qi Qi, but would the Heavenly Fire Family allow Jiong Qi Qi Qi to leave? How could a big family like the Heavenly Fire Family allow its direct members to leave the family? No matter how they thought about it, it was impossible. Even if the people of the Heavenly Fire Family treated Jiong Qi Qi like a servant, it was impossible. They wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
"Miss Qi Qi, I think you might hate the life of the Heavenly Fire Family. You said such a thing without thinking. I hope you can calm down and think about this matter." Ye Hong Tian suggested.
However, Jiong Qi Qi didn't want to think about this at all. She emphasized her request again and said, "I hope you can take me with you when you leave Sky Fire City!"
Seeing that Jiong Qiqi was determined to leave Sky Fire City, Ye Hongtian's expression became serious. He narrowed his eyes and decided to tell her about this matter in detail.
"You... Do you know how important it is for a direct descendant of the Sky Fire Family to suddenly leave the family? Your father..."
"I know all about it!"
Ye Hongtian was prepared to tell everything he thought of to Jiong Qi Qi, but he was interrupted by Jiong Qi Qi in the beginning.
"The family will not allow direct bloodline to be lost in the outside world. Even if I am a girl, I will not allow it."
"But if I don't leave this place, I will only be able to live in the Heavenly Fire Family for the rest of my life. As the second young lady of the Heavenly Fire Family, I live a life comparable to a servant. I have the talent to practice martial arts! I am unwilling!"
"I will bet everything on young master. Intuition tells me that young master is not a simple person. If young master takes me away, perhaps the family will not stop me!"
Jiong Qi revealed her inner thoughts, which stunned Ye Hongtian.
He really didn't expect that pretending to be Jiong Yuan's servant would cause a misunderstanding between Jiong Qi Qi and cause her to think that he had a big background.
If I'm so powerful, how can I not know?
Ye Hongtian couldn't help but complain in his heart, and a bitter smile appeared on his face again.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Miss Qi Qi. I don't know why she thinks I'm a big shot. But in fact, I'm just a nobody who has the ability to jump ranks and challenge others. I don't have a big background. " Ye Hong Tian told the truth.
From Ye Hongtian's helpless eyes, Jiong Qi Qi could tell that Ye Hongtian wasn't lying. This made Jiong Qi Qi reveal a look of disbelief.
"How is this possible?! Then why is big brother, the young master of the Heavenly Fire Family, so respectful to young master?"
Jiong Qi Qi still had a trace of hope in her heart. She thought that Ye Hongtian was probably just pretending to be good. She didn't look at Ye Hongtian and lowered her head to question him.
Hearing Jiong Qi Qi's slightly trembling voice, Ye Hongtian sighed. He could understand how Jiong Qi Qi was feeling right now. It was like seeing an oasis in a hot desert and finding out that it was just a mirage.
