Chapter 1219 - 953: Grandma Buys Time for Suisui_2
"Mother! I will do everything in my power to stop this, but as I see it, it won’t be long before this world can no longer contain Suisui. The dissolution of the Array of Heaven is inevitable.But here, I promise you, if that day truly comes, I will use my life to protect Suisui and absolutely guarantee her safety!"
"Eldest!"
Madame Ji wept uncontrollably, her trembling fingers reaching to caress Ji Youyuan’s face.
Her face was full of pain.
"It’s your mother who has let you down, but besides you, I don’t know whom to entrust Suisui with.
Your mother knows her body looks healthy on the surface, but inside it’s empty. Even the special jade token your father sent from the other side is of no use. Consider what I tell you today as my final words!"
"Mother... sob... Mother... sob... please stop talking... I beg you..."
"Eldest! Your mother has wronged you all in this life, letting you brothers roam far and wide at such a young age. I originally wanted to live in seclusion with Xi’Er, begging the heavens to spare her life, but I couldn’t do it.
Ultimately, it’s fate. Your mother asks for nothing else, only that after she’s gone, you will protect Suisui, letting her grow up safe and joyful, and not walk the same path as her mother!"
"Mother... I promise you! Rest assured, I promise you!"
"Alright, I know you found someone with knowledge. That person knows everything about Xi’Er and Li Dalang. Let me meet him and hear for myself whether that man truly deserves my children’s love for a lifetime!"
Ji Youyuan opened his mouth at these words, watching Madame Ji wipe away her tears, also wiping his own tears before nodding, "Don’t overthink it, I will bring that person to you now!"
Madame Ji nodded, watching Ji Youyuan leave. Suddenly a metallic taste rose in her throat, and she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Two coughs later, a smear of scarlet appeared on the fabric.
"Big Brother!"
Leaving Madame Ji’s courtyard, Ji Youcheng, Huo Xing’Er, and Zhu Xiuxiu anxiously gathered around.
"Did you all hear what Mother said?"
Everyone nodded.
Huo Xing’Er said.
"Mother’s health is indeed much worse than it seems. Recently, Zhang Nanny has been by her side, seldom allowing others to accompany her.
The reason is that she doesn’t want us to know details about her daily life and health condition."
Zhu Xiuxiu said, "Even so, judging from her appetite, second brother’s pulse readings, and her tendency to oversleep during the day and dream at night recently, we can infer a rough idea."
Ji Youbo, not prominent among them, suddenly chimed in.
"Isn’t there a way to save Mother in that world?"
Everyone turned their eyes to Ji Youyuan.
Ji Youzhi’s expression was solemn, saying nothing, leading the way toward the Flower Hall.
"Big Brother, say something!
What do you mean by saying nothing?
Are you truly going to abide by Mother’s wishes and never let Suisui touch the Array of Heaven in this lifetime?"
Seeing his elder brother silent, Ji Youcheng grew anxious and hurriedly chased after him to ask.
Ji Youyuan took the lead to sit in the main seat, saying, "Suisui is too young to break the array, I can do it!"
"You... Big Brother!"
Everyone stared at Ji Youyuan wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Have you thoroughly researched the Array Diagram of the Array of Heaven?
Setting up the Array to Deceive Heaven requires cooperation from the descendants or the Essential Souls of those Ancient Fierce Beasts; otherwise, once inside, you’ll be trapped to death!"
Huo Xing’Er said anxiously.
Ji Youyuan said.
"I promised Mother to prevent Suisui from touching the Array of Heaven, and Mother’s time is limited. Suisui’s cultivation is still worse than mine; her going there is indeed dangerous. Among us brothers, my understanding of arrays is the most profound; this matter must be done by me alone!"
As soon as Ji Youyuan spoke, two different voices rose in the room.
"I’ll go!"
The voices came from Huo Xing’Er and Ji Youbo.
The two of them looked at each other, surprised.
"In terms of martial arts, I’m on par with Big Brother. If it really comes to a fight, Big Brother shouldn’t be my match, I’ll go."
Ji Youbo hurriedly spoke before Huo Xing’Er.
"In terms of array knowledge, although I’m not as good as Big Brother, I shouldn’t be far behind. Big Brother, give me the remnant diagram of the Array of Heaven, I’ll study it, and let me go."
