Chapter 1269 Deciding to Keep the Appointment (2)

But for Ji Shen...somehow, she didn't feel any displeasure at all.

After barely calming down, Bai Qi asked tentatively: "I don't understand...why did my second uncle help me?"

Hearing this, Ji Shen froze for a moment. After a moment, he slightly raised the corners of his lips and said slowly: "Since you get straight to the point, I won't hide anymore. Xiaobai, actually... you really should call me nice." I am called the second uncle. However, it is not from Xiaoye, but...from your father."

"My father?!" Bai Qi remembered that he had met Ji Shen at the base, and now he was not too surprised to hear him admit it.

Ji Shen said bluntly: "I am Qu Yimo and Yun Huai's younger brother."

"Junior brother?" Bai Qi was stunned, "Mr. Li... doesn't seem to have accepted any more apprentices."

Ji Shen joked, "I'm the one who named myself!" He paused and said, "I had a chance, but unfortunately something unexpected happened and I lost my qualification to become a disciple before I could complete the project."

Bai Qi immediately reacted: "Second uncle is talking about...father taking away the manuscript and leaving?"

Ji Shen nodded and admitted, "Yes."

Seeing Ji Shen who was so calm, Bai Qi felt a little uncomfortable for some reason...

Ji Shen probably guessed what she was thinking and raised his hand to stop him: "You don't need to think too much about our generation's affairs, let alone feel that you owe me and apologize on your father's behalf. Bad luck, fate has not come, I have been telling myself these words for many years and have long since believed them.”

Bai Qi's words were obviously meant to persuade her, but Bai Qi felt particularly uncomfortable hearing them.

Ji took a deep breath: "Xiao Bai, maybe you don't believe it, but I never hated Senior Brother Qu, nor did I hate Senior Brother Yun. I watched those things happen with my own eyes; I understand the helplessness and hidden feelings in them better than anyone else. It’s clear! So, if you want to escape, I won’t stay in the biological world! If I have any resentment, I don’t have to block Han Qingyu for you.”

Bai Qi nodded: "I understand."

Ji Shen said bluntly: "I'm very happy to see you again! Seeing that you have not been influenced by the two senior brothers Qu Yun and finally found your own way, for some reason... I feel like an old father is relieved."

Bai Qi was amused by this description and said calmly: "I met my second uncle on the island."

"oh?"

"Second uncle hurriedly landed on the island, but finally left in despair... I saw it all, but at that time my father explicitly prohibited me from talking to anyone outside the island, so I didn't show up to say hello." Bai Qi said, "I don't know Ji Ye is Xiaoye on the island. It wasn’t until I met my second uncle last night that I had some hindsight..."

Ji Shen asked: "Do you think I went to the island to find Xiaoye?"

Bai Qi asked, "Isn't it?"

Ji Shen suddenly said with a mischievous smile: "At first, I did follow the traces of Xiao Ye's disappearance and found the island. But after seeing Senior Brother Qu, I temporarily put his affairs behind me. Ha...you can Don't tell him that his second uncle knew about his existence, but he still kept it from the family until a year later——"

Thinking of the destruction of Black Sakura, both of them had wounds in their hearts.

Bai Qi said: "Is this what father meant?"

Ji Shen hummed: "Senior Brother Qu needs a good time to enter the world. In any case, Xiao Ye's life is not in danger on the island, so I followed his arrangement and did not tell anyone. However, my elder brother and sister-in-law were really worried about Xiao Ye's disappearance. "Huo, in order to avoid leaks about my soft-heartedness, I simply left China and hid outside until the incident was over before I showed up."

Bai Qi said: "Lin Sen told me everything about the past, but he also hid a lot. Especially about the matter of my father taking away the manuscript... Since the second uncle has been honest, do you know the reason behind it?"

When asked about this, Ji Shen was speechless. He thought for a moment and then asked Bai Qi another question: "Do you know where the bones of Senior Brother Qu are?"

Bai Qi was stunned and quickly reacted: "According to accurate information, Yun Huai took away the bodies of his father and mother, and then...he hid them in a secret ice room."

"They..." Ji Shen tasted the word strangely, seeming to understand something, and sighed, "So you don't know yet..."

"what do you know?"

Ji Shen smiled softly, half playfully, half helpless, then raised his head and said, "Xiao Bai, based on your description, I probably guessed it! Lin Sen... indeed told you everything he could tell you. Listen, the rest... like him, I choose to remain silent."

"Why?" Bai Qi didn't understand. "Since you know the truth, why do you hide it?! Are puzzle games fun?"

"It's not fun." Ji Shen shook his head, "It's because there are some things you know... that will affect your judgment."

"What judgment?!" Bai Qi was even more confused.

Ji Shen didn't speak.

But my heart is very heavy!

Silly boy...what else could possibly affect your judgment? !

Of course it's your father!

He exchanged his reputation for Yunhuai's life, and exchanged his life for your existence...

If you knew that Yun Huai was the person your father would rather die to protect, could you still be cruel and cruel?

Similarly, Yun Huai desperately wanted to kill Bai Qi from the beginning, but then hesitated for so many years... Wasn't it also because... she was the continuation of Qu Yimo's bloodline?

However, with so much hatred, can two people let go of everything and live in peace? Absolutely impossible!

Ji Shen thought for a while: "You have been tortured for many years, and your sister almost lost her life because of him. Can you let go of these hatreds easily? Do you have to kill him!"

"Of course!"

"Even if he has his reasons?!"

Bai Qi suddenly paused and asked subconsciously: "What reasons can there be?"

Ji Shen said: "Look, you are already shaken. If I make up a reasonable story, will you let Yun Huai go?!"

Bai Qi was asked... She was indeed a little hesitant.

In fact, she had asked herself Ji Shen's question many times in her heart, and told herself again and again that Yun Huai must be killed!

But as time went by, she had a lot of doubts.

Why did Yun Huai treat her like this...What is the hatred between him and his father?

So, at this moment, when she heard that he might have his reasons, Bai Qi hesitated.

"I am a little confused..." She told the truth, "What he did to me and Wan Wan, and the threat to the future...all forced me to get rid of him. But I...don't want to do it recklessly."

"Are you afraid of killing the wrong person?"

Bai Qi was silent for a long time...

Finally.

Nodded.

Ji Shen looked at her and smiled slowly: "So, your father was right to teach you not to have feelings since you were a child."
