Chapter 169: Three generations of Qi family spirits
The cold air from the beer bottle condenses into water and slides onto Jiang Luo's fingers.
Jiang Luo's palms were hot, he took a piece of paper and wiped away the water droplets, a little distracted.
Chi You rarely fight back against me?
Chuckle, he can't beat me, can he.
Seeing that he was a bit lost in thought, Wen Renlian and Ye Xun remembered that Jiang Luo and Chi You were already on different paths, and could never be together. Both of them shut their mouths and stopped saying such words that seemed to imply a match.
Ye Xun even broke out into a cold sweat, cursing himself in annoyance.
It's hard for Jiang Luo to let go of Chi You, but you're still talking about ambiguity.
Afraid they won't rekindle their love?
After dinner, Jiang Luo was ready to go to rest first, Zhuo Zhongqiu remembered something, "Jiang Luo, Qi Ye has something for me to give you."
"Ever since we came back from the sea, we haven't seen Qi Ye, and we couldn't contact him. Until the time my father and the Tianshifu went to the Qi family to seek justice for us, he realized that the Qi family had blackmailed us in the content of our examination, and also knew that we were going to have an interrogation with the Qi family," Zhuo Zhongqiu explained, "When my father and I walked out of the Qi family, he appeared out of nowhere, stained with grass clippings, and with red eyes said an apology to me, and also slipped me a note to you. With red eyes, he told me he was sorry and slipped me a note to you."
She walked over to the cabinet and took the note out and handed it to Jiang Luo, "This is the note."
The note was balled up into a crumpled shape, Jiang Luo opened it, and inside was only a scrawled sentence that seemed to have been written in a hurry: "I'm sorry."
With some surprise, he turned the note over to the back and read it, looking up at Zhuo Zhongqiu , "Just a 'sorry'?"
Zhuo Zhongqiu nodded.
Jiang Luo folded the note up, he could almost imagine what kind of expression Qi Ye would have on his face when he wrote this, he calmly said, "He's him, his dad is his dad. The others dealing with us has nothing to do with him, and I didn't take it out on him, so there's no need to say sorry."
"Come on," he waved and turned, "I'm going to bed."

The Kishas.
Liao Si walked unhurriedly through the corridor to Qi Ye's room door, raised his hand and knocked.
The door to the room was quickly opened and Qi Ye braced himself against the doorframe and yelled, "What the hell!"
His eyes were red and bloodshot, his clothes were disheveled, and his stubble was sprouting, giving him the appearance of being so disheveled that he hadn't slept for a few days. After seeing that the person outside the door was Liao Si, Qi Ye's face was slightly restrained in anxiety and boredom, and he said stiffly, "What is it."
Liao Si eyed Qi Ye's body greedily, "Mr. Qi asked me to call you to the living room."
Qi Ye frowned irritably and was about to say no, when Liao Si duly said, "It seems to be something important, and Mr. Ji is here."
Qi Ye clenched his fists violently, and without a word, he closed the door and stifled his way to the living room.
The day after tomorrow is the trial, and the Chi family is definitely coming to see his dad about the trial. They might be up to something with Jiang Luo and the others. Qi Ye has to go over there and take a look.
Looking at his back, Liao Si whistled and left leisurely.
The corners of his eyebrows and eyes were all filled with the gloating of a good show he was about to see, and the intertwining of his gentle demeanor became eerie, "A dog-eat-dog show, it's about to begin."

Qi Ye's feet are heavy.
The closer the trial got, the harder Qi Ye lived. He couldn't believe that his father had joined forces with the head of the Chi family to try to get his classmate killed. When he got the news, he only thought it was a joke, but when he was told that the joke had come true, Qi Ye felt that the whole world had collapsed.
These days, he and his father have had countless arguments, Qi Ye is in so much pain that his soul seems to have split in two, he feels guilty and ashamed of Jiang Luo and the others, and he hopes that they can win the trial.
But the defendant is his own father, the one who has loved Qi Ye since he was a child and who has high hopes for him, and Qi Ye dares not imagine what will happen if his father fails in the trial.
Such spiritual tearing made Qi Ye feel powerless, and also made him disgusted with his own self, which was uncertain about right and wrong. He felt as if he were stuck in the sand, and the more he struggled, the faster he was swallowed up.
Before he even made it to the living room, Qi Ye heard his dad's incredulous voice suddenly ring out, "That's impossible!"
Qi Ye took a step.
"This is absolutely impossible! Chi Zhongye, you're lying to me aren't you? You must be lying to me!"
Chi Zhongye numbly said, ''What am I lying to you for, this is the words of the predestined person himself, he has given up on us. The Xuan Ling Joint Office will definitely be fair and impartial this time, and since Xu Dodeng, that cunning old fellow, dared to bring his students to sue us up, he must have grasped ironclad evidence. Qi Yuan, it's over. It's all over this time. I've told you before, should we delay the trial first, but you were so confident that the Fates would protect us. Now what? It's too late for us to make a move now."
"How can it be," Qi's father couldn't believe it, but after seeing Chi Zhongye's expression which was definitely not fake, he suddenly lost his strength and slumped down on the sofa in frustration, "The Fated One has even given up on us ...... "
Uneasy fear swept within. Qi father suddenly shook his lips and sat up, pointing at Chi Zhongye: "Chi Zhongye, we two can not be planted here together, wait until the day after tomorrow's trial, you take the initiative to take the blame, you are the mastermind, I am an innocent person who was tricked by you, I don't know anything! Don't worry, I will help you take care of your large family after you go in, for the sake of the two of us, in the future, when you come out, I will also make sure that you have a good life."
Chi Zhongye froze, then angrily said, "Why should I be the mastermind! The idea of hacking into the Birch University's examination content was clearly your idea!"
Qi's father sneered, "Is that so? Then what evidence do you have? The person who arranged things was you, and the blood eels were only related to you in the mission after they were switched in the content of the test. You're the only one who had the means to get them on the ship, and to do it to them on the ship. How do you prove that it was my idea?"
Chi Zhongye stood up straight "rubbing" in anger, "You--!"
Qi's father slammed the table fiercely, his face grim, "Chi Zhongye, I haven't found you in trouble yet, so don't get a bargain."
"Don't think I don't know that we went on the boat with you to deal with Chi You's Qi family, and all of them were fed with blood eel females in their stomachs by you! You still think I don't know, don't you? If it wasn't for the fact that I found out that they've been sending the Chi family's properties to your Chi family people ever since they came back, I wouldn't have even realized that they've been controlled into your people."
Father Qi became angrier and angrier as he spoke, "Chi Zhongye, you really hit the nail on the head, you couldn't explicitly use the Puppet Soul Refining Technique to turn them into puppets, so you used the Blood Eel unknowingly, who would have thought of that trick? If I hadn't realized something was wrong, I'm afraid that I would only be able to discover the truth a few years later after they exposed the Blood Eel's traits, but by that time, the entire Qi family would have become yours, right!"
"What blood eels? What industry?" Chi Zhongye was puzzled, he couldn't understand Qi father's words and took these as Qi father's excuses, "Qi Yuan, what kind of nonsense are you talking!"
"Nonsense?" Qi's father was so angry that his heart throbbed, "Are you refusing to admit that you coveted our family's estate, so you used the blood eel to control my clan?"
Chi Zhongye laughed in anger, "Then why don't you say that you covet the spirit bodies of the first generation of the Chi family, and that even the three generations of your Chi family's excellent spirit bodies were siphoned off from our first generation of the Chi family to take and use?!"
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, shaking Qi Ye, who was hiding in the corridor and eavesdropping, into a frozen position.
What did he say?
Their Chi family s three generations of spiritual bodies ...... were on the Chi family s first family?
How can that be.
Qi Ye's teeth chattered as he was clearly a born genius. Since childhood, everyone had praised and envied his talent. His father, his grandfather, the Qi family's amazingly talented third generation, weren't they all born with great talent?
Yes, what the Chi family elders say must be false, absolutely false.
Qi Ye's whole body went cold, and every inch of his skin seemed to be frozen by a thick layer of ice. He didn't want to hear any more, but he couldn't move his legs, and he couldn't close his ears, so he could only let the voice in the living room drill into his ears one sentence at a time without relenting.
"I still have the contract you signed with your father, have you forgotten? Qi Yuan, your spirit body was drawn out of Chi You his grandfather's body before he was about to die, you would have been in your teens then, I don't believe you don't remember anything."
Chi Zhongye snorted, ''Even if you have forgotten where your own spirit body came from, you can't forget the spirit body in your son's body, can you? Qi Ye used Chi You's father's spirit body, and you signed the contract yourself. You signed the contract yourself. When Chi You was a child, you booked his body with me. Unfortunately, the Fated One intervened and refined Chi You's soul into a Primordial Heavenly Pearl. Chi You has many followers, if you want to get yourself out of this and put the blame on me, I'll dare to reveal all these secrets, and we'll see who's worse off than the other!"
In the silence, Qi's father breathed heavily, after a long, long time, he smiled stiffly, slightly curtly, "Let's talk properly, what anger ah, how ugly this mess. Chi old brother, sit sit sit, let's talk slowly."
Qi Ye eyes black, he held the wall staggered back to his room.
His father's reaction had told him the answer.
His gift, it turns out, is not his own.
He's the one who stole it from someone else.
