Chapter 722 Confess!
Here, wisps of solidified, five-colored energy drifted, drawing brilliant, multicolored star rivers through the void, occasionally scattering tiny specks of light, creating a breathtakingly beautiful and dreamlike scene...
At this moment, the four of them were no longer standing on the icy and snowy land outside, but on a clear and transparent shallow ocean.
Lin Que and Shen Wuliang were already shocked by the sight, which is why Lin Que asked such a question.
Because of... those colorful star rivers in the void, and this shallow ocean beneath our feet.
It was all condensed and manifested spiritual energy!
This is simply unbelievable!
This incredible place is not the ancestral home that any individual or family could possibly own!
Even the Dragon Clan's ancestral land, the Taixu Dragon Realm, which reigns supreme over the Illusionary Demon Continent, does not have such a sight!
"Hehe, um... young friend Lin." Faced with Lin Que's questioning, Ji Qian laughed awkwardly twice, but didn't know how to explain.
Meanwhile, Ji Xiaorou stood there blankly for some reason, her bright eyes now empty and her face expressionless.
After hesitating for a while, Ji Qian finally decided to answer truthfully.
But just as he was about to speak, suddenly!
Swish!
A burst of azure light emerged from Lin Que's body, then gradually transformed into a fleeting human figure, which surprised Ji Qian!
"Long Chen?"
"Why did you come out? Do you perhaps recognize this place?"
Upon seeing Long Chen emerge, Lin Que couldn't help but ask in surprise.
It should be noted that Long Chen rarely shows himself unless it is absolutely necessary, so there must be something here that would shock even him.
Because Lin Que saw that Long Chen actually showed a rare look of surprise after he appeared!
"Where is this..." Long Chen glanced around in shock before fixing his gaze on Ji Xiaorou.
"And this person..."
Before he could finish speaking, Long Chen's brows furrowed, and he instantly fell into deep thought...
Seeing this, Lin Que thought for a moment and then raised his hand to summon a void gate that appeared beside him. Liu Qingyi then eagerly stepped out.
However, the moment she stepped out, she froze on the spot!
Her beautiful eyes widened, her lips parted slightly, and she murmured in disbelief, "Lin Que, where am I...?"
"How could this be? How could such a place exist!"
Ji Qian was completely dumbfounded when he saw Long Chen and Liu Qingyi appear one after another!
However, he quickly realized what was happening and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Young friend Lin, you, you, you!"
"You actually have a portable mini-world?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que temporarily suppressed his shock at the place and smiled at Ji Qian, saying, "Manager Ji, since you yourself are holding back, it's only natural that I would too, isn't it?"
"Now that we're here, we might as well be more honest with each other."
"how?"
After speaking, Lin Que briefly introduced Liu Qingyi and Long Chen to Ji Qian, then paused and asked Ji Qian, "Now that things have come to this, Manager Ji, let's be frank."
“I think Xu Changxian never even entered this place back then, right?”
"Furthermore, this place is not the ancestral home of your Ji family."
"You met Xu Changxian with Ji Xiaorou after you left this place."
"Am I right?"
"Otherwise, how could Xu Changxian have possibly crafted two Concealment Pearls for you? This is clearly a loophole."
"When you, Manager Ji, were telling me about your encounter with Xu Changxian at the Ji family's ancestral home, you didn't mention Ji Xiaorou at all!"
"Presumably, Xu Changxian made the two Concealment Pearls for you after he saw you and Ji Xiaorou, right?"
"As for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ice Jade and the Flowing Breath Dew, he asked you for them after you met Xu Changxian when you left this place."
"Yes, there are too many other flaws, but I won't go into them all here."
"I'm sure Manager Ji is aware of this himself."
Lin Que smiled after speaking, which made Ji Qian fall silent.
However, at this moment, Long Chen was still frowning and thinking about something, ignoring the conversation between Lin Que and the others. As for Liu Qingyi and Shen Wuliang, they were looking at Lin Que and Ji Qian, while Ji Xiaorou was still in a daze.
This caused the scene to fall into complete silence...
After a moment, as if he had made a decision, Ji Qian sighed and slowly said, "Young friend Lin, impressive!"
"You guessed right!"
"I did meet him after I left this place."
"Then those people from the cult you mentioned before..." Lin Que glanced around again and found no trace of any cult members.
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian said, "The people of the Divine Cult I mentioned do exist; I haven't lied to you, young friend Lin."
"It was just back then."
"I stumbled into this place by accident many years ago, and as for Rou'er... well, I'll be honest!"
"Rou'er is not my real granddaughter. I met her here and took her with me."
it is as expected!
Lin Que wasn't surprised that Ji Xiaorou wasn't Ji Qian's granddaughter, since he had already vaguely guessed it from various details.
Ji Qian paused for a moment before continuing, "And every time I bring Rou'er back to search for this place, I encounter a group of powerful members of the Divine Cult."
"This leaves me with no choice but to give up!"
"These cultists have been wandering in the far north, as if they are looking for something."
"I suspect they are also trying to find this place."
"I just don't know why we didn't run into each other this time."
"So... Manager Ji wants us to act as your bodyguards this time?" Lin Que smiled, then asked, "But what does this have to do with your chamber of commerce going bankrupt?"
“Because this place…” Ji Qian paused for a moment, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, and said, “It has countless rare and precious natural treasures!”
"This...is also one of the reasons why my merchant guild has survived!"
"Then... Manager Ji."
"Aren't you afraid that we'll take all the natural treasures here for ourselves?"
"So I have no choice but to take a gamble, since the Chamber of Commerce is going to go bankrupt anyway."
"But the most important point is..."
"Over the years, among all the people I have met, only you, young friend Lin, are as pure as I and Rou'er!"
After Ji Qian finished speaking, Lin Que roughly understood what was going on. Now, the only mystery was Ji Xiaorou's identity!
However, this has little to do with him, since he wasn't there for Ji Xiaorou anyway.
After thinking about this, Lin Que immediately smiled at Ji Qian.
"Don't worry, Manager Ji!"
"us..."
However, before Lin Que could finish speaking, Long Chen, who was standing next to him, immediately shuddered!
As if he had finally figured something out, the shock in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, and he pointed at Ji Xiaorou, speaking to Lin Que and the others with a serious expression!
"Lin Que!"
"You absolutely must protect this girl!"
"We absolutely cannot allow anything to go wrong with her!"
"We absolutely cannot let her fall into the hands of those cultists!"
Even if it means your death, it's not allowed!
