1293 Ye Liushang
When Si Yue heard this, he couldn’t help but blink inexplicably. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Jian Ai came to the sofa and sat down. She poured a glass of water and drank it before looking at Si Yue. “When you went to Bai Zhou’s place tonight, did you hear him mention the High Priest?”
“High Priest?”
Si Yue was a little surprised that Jian Ai suddenly mentioned the High Priest. Then, he shook his head gently. “No, why did the Sect Master suddenly mention the High Priest?”
“He’s in Baiyun City today. Xiao Zhen and Zhi Tong saw him,” Jian Ai said.
When Si Yue heard this, the shock on his face intensified. “Brother Bai Zhou didn’t mention it. The High Priest’s whereabouts are unknown. Even if Brother Bai Zhou can find him with his prophet’s ability, Brother Bai Zhou wouldn’t dare to look for him rashly.”
“Brother Bai Zhou is quite respectful of the High Priest, so unless the High Priest appears, Brother Bai Zhou won’t disturb him easily,” Si Yue said.
Hearing Si Yue’s words, Jian Ai couldn’t help but be even more curious about the High Priest. Even Bai Zhou didn’t dare to disturb him rashly. He must be a strange person.
However, he came to Baiyun City for Old Master Ji and even saved him personally. What kind of unknown connection was there?
“Have you seen the High Priest? Do you know his name?” Jian Ai looked at Si Yue and asked.
Si Yue thought for a moment and finally shook his head. “I’ve indeed seen the High Priest once, but I was in a hurry. His black robe was wrapped even tighter than Brother Zhi Tong’s. I didn’t see his appearance clearly.”
“As for his name, I don’t know even more. Everyone calls him the High Priest. I’ve never heard Brother Bai Zhou mention his name when he mentioned the High Priest.”
“Moreover, it was many years ago when I saw the High Priest. I heard from Brother Bai Zhou that the High Priest was cultivating an extremely powerful ancient sect mental cultivation technique and was in seclusion all year round. At that time, he suddenly appeared in Qiusi because he made a mistake in cultivating a mental cultivation technique that suffered a tremendous blow to his vitality. Then, he came to look for Brother Bai Zhou to seek Brother Liushang’s blood.”
“Liushang?” Jian Ai was stunned. She had heard another name she was unfamiliar with from Si Yue.
Si Yue nodded. “That’s right, Ye Liushang!”
Jian Ai’s mouth was half-open. Jian Ai had heard this name from Bai Zhou before. Just like the High Priest, Jian Ai’s understanding of Ye Liushang was only limited to his name and his ranking among the twelve guards.
However, with just this meager information, Jian Ai already had an infinite imagination of this person. He was ranked first among the twelve guards, so his strength must be above Chi Lian and Yu Wuyuan.
It turned out that before she was reborn, everyone in the ancient sect had many connections before the Sect Master appeared in the world. The High Priest even asked Bai Zhou for Ye Liushang’s blood because he had injured his vitality.
However…
“Ye Liushang’s blood…” Jian Ai looked up at Si Yue again and asked curiously, “The High Priest injured his vitality. Can Ye Liushang’s blood treat him?”
When Si Yue heard this, he shook his head in confusion. “I don’t know if he can be treated, but Brother Liushang’s blood seems to have extraordinary abilities. Sect Master, do you still remember Brother Bai Zhou telling you Brother Liushang’s name?”
“Blazing Fire Phoenix—Ye Liushang,” Jian Ai said.
Si Yue nodded. “Brother Liushang has the spiritual root of the Blazing Fire Phoenix in his body, so his meridians and blood differ from ordinary people. The Blazing Fire Phoenix has a very famous name in ancient times, called the Undying Bird. I think even if his blood can’t treat the High Priest’s injuries, it might have other uses.”
“Otherwise, with the High Priest’s low-key personality, he wouldn’t have gone to Brother Bai Zhou personally to ask for Brother Liushang’s blood.”
Jian Ai nodded in a daze. She initially wanted to know more about the High Priest, but didn’t expect Si Yue to know so little.
It seemed that she still had to ask Bai Zhou about this. She did not mean to pry into others’ privacy, but the High Priest’s actions today revealed too many doubts.
The next morning, reporters surged outside the Ji Group.
On Christmas Eve yesterday, the Ji family invited many guests. It was probably impossible to hide the news of Old Ji’s sudden death.
However, other than the Ji family and the doctor who tried to resuscitate Old Ji that night, the other guests did not see Old Ji die. They only thought that Old Ji had died. After all, the cries from upstairs last night were not difficult to guess.
Old Master Ji was a legend in the business world. The news of his death would be the headlines in the business world.
However, facing the Ji Group’s strong foundation, these media magazines were not stupid. Before receiving a definite answer, who would dare to write that Old Master Ji was already dead?
That was why this morning’s scene happened.
As soon as Ji Haoyu’s car stopped, the reporters, who had been waiting for a long time, surrounded him like a swarm of bees.
Ji Haoyu had long received the news. He sat in the driver’s seat and was not in a hurry to get out of the car. Instead, he slowly took off his sunglasses and looked out of the window before opening the car door.
Today, Ji Haoyu was still in high spirits. He was wearing a black vintage tailored suit that was exquisite and handsome!
The cameramen carried machines and took photos of Ji Haoyu’s face at the first moment, as if wanting to capture Ji Haoyu’s sad expression.
“Young Master Ji, there are rumors on the streets that Old Master Ji passed away last night. Is the rumor true?”
“Young Master Ji, Old Master Ji suddenly had a bad illness. I heard it was caused by an acute heart attack. Is that so?”
“Young Master Ji, I hope you can answer us…”
“Young Master Ji…”
The reporters had strength in numbers. Everyone gathered around and talked at once. Even if Ji Haoyu was famous for his gloomy personality in Baiyun City, these reporters did not hold back in front of fighting for the headlines.
Ji Haoyu looked at these reporters expressionlessly. When they were almost done asking questions, he slowly said, “Thank you for your concern, reporters. Grandpa met with danger last night, but fortunately, everything was alright. He’s still alive. Please don’t spread false news!”
As soon as Ji Haoyu finished speaking, the noisy atmosphere could not help but freeze. The reporters were also dumbfounded. Was he still alive?
However, they heard that the source of the news was very reliable. Moreover, so many media outlets had received the news. Could it be fake?
One of the male reporters came back to his senses. He handed the microphone forward and almost poked Ji Haoyu’s face. However, he couldn’t care less and asked anxiously, “Young Master Ji, may I ask where Old Master Ji is now? Is his life safe?”
