Chapter 1218 - 953: Grandma Buys Time for Suisui
"Has Suisui ever asked about her parents?"
Madam Ji took a deep breath and asked Ji Youyuan.
Upon hearing this, Ji Youyuan first shook his head, then nodded.
"This child is clever. Ever since she practiced her heart channeling, she’s been concealing her abilities. If it weren’t for capturing that elder of the Li Clan this time, I wouldn’t have discovered. She usually acts in front of us."
"I think it was probably taught by Ah Ling!
That spirit is not simple!"
Madam Ji couldn’t help but recall the appearance of Ah Ling and took a deep breath before speaking to Ji Youyuan.
Ji Youyuan nodded, "The Soul-Calling Bell is an Ancient Divine Artifact, and Ah Ling is closely connected to the Wangchuan River. Her recognizing Suisui as her master is good for Suisui now, but only because Suisui is still young and there are no major issues for her to deal with.
What I’m worried about..."
"You’re worried that once the Array of Heaven is undone, connecting here with other realms, she’ll encounter powerful enemies?"
Ji Youyuan nodded, "Suisui has too many treasures, and combined with her strong fortune, if people from other realms can truly cultivate immortal arts and achieve eternal life, her treasures will be coveted, and her fortune will be exploited!"
Madam Ji nodded, "That’s why I want you to promise me to stop Suisui from undoing the Array of Heaven!"
Hearing this, Ji Youyuan couldn’t help but widen his eyes at Madam Ji.
"Is eternal life truly so desirable?
The lifespan of a person is destined by heaven, how difficult is it to defy fate?
Besides, how many people have died seeking life in this world?
And how many have succeeded in cultivating the art of immortality?"
"Mother! If the Array of Heaven isn’t undone, then father..."
Madam Ji suddenly raised her hand to interrupt what Ji Youyuan was about to say!
"Your father and we are from two different worlds, he has his own path, but we have our lives. Undoing the Array of Heaven is too dangerous.
Suisui was brought to us at the cost of Xi’Er’s life, I won’t allow, won’t allow you to gamble with her life!"
"Mother... could it be..."
Madam Ji again raised her hand to interrupt Ji Youyuan.
"Stop talking about it, whether it’s three years or two years, I won’t allow Suisui to gamble her life!
At least, while I’m alive, I don’t want to see her die for the world’s sake!"
"Mother! But if the Array of Heaven is undone, we could connect with the outside world and you could..."
"Eldest, I’m putting my words here today, during my lifetime, I will not agree to Suisui touching the Array of Heaven, that’s my last wish!"
"Mother! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ji Youyuan, shocked, the head of the family in his thirties, instantly shed tears.
"Whether I’m talking nonsense, you know in your heart, promise me, don’t let Suisui touch the Array of Heaven!"
"Mother! I..."
"Promise me!"
Madam Ji suddenly raised her volume.
"At least while I’m alive!"
"Mother! You will live a long life, with me here, you will surely..."
"Eldest! Are you not listening to your mother?"
Madam Ji raised her volume again and shouted at Ji Youyuan.
After shouting, she couldn’t help but cough repeatedly.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Mother! Don’t get agitated, calm down, let’s not talk about this topic, okay?"
"Eldest, mother has never asked you brothers for anything, today mother is begging you, promise mother, don’t let Suisui touch the Array of Heaven, alright? Cough cough cough..."
"Mother! We won’t talk about this..."
"Eldest, if you don’t promise mother, in the future, mother will die with regrets, I need you to promise me!"
"Mother! I..."
"Swear, swear on mother’s life, if you can’t do it, mother won’t die in peace!"
"Mother! Why...why are you doing this?
To curse yourself so..."
"Will you swear or not?"
"I promise you, but I won’t swear on mother’s life!"
Ji Youyuan eventually compromised, but he refused to make a vicious oath.
Madam Ji was not satisfied.
"You must swear, otherwise mother won’t be at ease."
"Mother! I’ve always kept my word, I’ve already promised you, naturally, I won’t go back on my word.
If you truly insist on me taking such a vicious oath, it’s like stabbing a knife into my heart!
How can you bear to see your son in such pain?"
Ji Youyuan wept bitterly, immediately kneeling down, hugging Madam Ji’s leg, soaking her hem with tears.
"Eldest, you must know, Suisui is not only Xi’Er’s life, she’s also mother’s life. If mother really goes, you must prevent her from undoing the Array of Heaven, understood?"
