Chapter 126 Apologize for Me

Under the treatment of Grand Young Master Lin, Ji Guiyi’s injuries eased, and he regained some mobility.

He turned over and knelt in mid-air: “Young Master Lin, as long as you can save my daughter’s immortal soul, I will agree to any condition!”

Young Master Lin smiled slightly and replied, “I came here primarily to mediate this matter, hoping that all parties can shake hands and make peace; why would I propose any conditions?”

Upon hearing this, both the Zhou Family and the various factions praised Young Master Lin repeatedly.

“The background of being from an immortal estate is indeed different; this demeanor makes us feel ashamed.”

“Young Master Lin is worthy of being a contemporary genius, a dragon among men; his way of handling affairs is admirable.”

Ji Guiyi did not hesitate and said, “Good! As long as Young Master Lin is willing to help, I, Ji, will cease my pursuit from now on!”

Young Master Lin nodded slightly, saying, “A man’s word is his bond; I won’t ask Brother Ji for a vow.”

After speaking, Young Master Lin turned to Zhou Taiyuan, Yao Qingtian, and others, “What do you all think?”

Yao Qingtian immediately expressed, “This time, Ninefold Flower Mountain has encountered great trouble, resulting in a series of events nobody wishes to see. Since Young Master Lin is willing to mediate, I, Yao, shall comply, and I thank you.”

“Good,” Young Master Lin replied and then looked at Chen Ansheng and Yao Jianyuan, “Do you two have any objections?”

Chen Ansheng and Yao Jianyuan exchanged glances.

Both of them realized the other’s thoughts: this turmoil, under Grand Young Master Lin’s mediation, would calm down, which was the most beneficial outcome for all parties involved.

They had no reason not to comply.

“Everything is up to Young Master Lin.”

Chen Ansheng and Yao Jianyuan answered almost simultaneously.

“Then it’s settled,” Young Master Lin nodded and said, “Everyone, please follow me to the ancestral land of Ninefold Flower Mountain.”

“Please, Young Master.”

Yao Qingtian took the lead, and the other high-ranking individuals followed, flying towards the ancestral land.

Upon opening the restrictions of the ancestral land, it remained in disarray, untouched from the recent turmoil.

“Young Master Lin, where is my daughter’s immortal soul trapped?”

Arriving at the ancestral land, Ji Guiyi was extremely anxious and couldn’t help but ask.

“Brother Ji, do not be impatient; give me half a quarter of an hour, and I will rescue your precious daughter’s immortal soul.”

After saying this, Young Master Lin unleashed his spiritual power and started communicating with the laws of the world.

His Idea Body quickly entered a tombstone in the ancestral graveyard.

In the vast white space, several mysterious patterned pillars stood; on one of the pillars, Ji Ziling’s immortal soul was shackled by black law chains.

“Who are you? Save me, please save me…”

Seeing Young Master Lin’s figure, the lifeless Ji Ziling immediately began to struggle.

For days, she had been locked on the pillar, her immortal soul struck by thunder, burned by fire, and invaded by ice, suffering immensely. If she had the power to destroy her own immortal soul, she would have done so long ago, but alas, she was bound and could not.

“Ji Ziling, relax. I am here to rescue you on account of your father. Once you’re out, you must not act recklessly or pursue past grievances; can you do that?” Young Master Lin said coldly.

“I can, I can. Young Master, I, Ziling, have been arrogant and oppressive in the past, causing many troubles; I have realized my mistakes. I beg you to act quickly and save me, sob sob.”

Ji Ziling was in tears.

It is said that one speaks kindly when death is imminent, and Ji Ziling was no exception.

Days ago, when she was fatally injured, she had regretted her every impulsive decision, her lifelong disputes…

Especially at the moment the tombstone was collapsing onto her, she finally understood how hard it was for everyone to live. When she shouted for others to be beaten, she saw how despicable it was…

“Okay, relax. I will save you right now.”

“Thank you, Young Master.”

Ji Ziling quieted down, closed her eyes, and looked forward to escaping this hellish place.

Then, Young Master Lin began to use his powerful spiritual power to break the chains of captivity.

In a moment, the black iron chains snapped completely.

“Go!”

Once the laws were broken, the space was about to collapse. Young Master Lin used his powers to sweep Ji Ziling away.

“Boom!”

The tombstone exploded, startling everyone back repeatedly.

“Ziling! Are you there? Father has come; are you alright!”

Ji Guiyi shouted in panic.

“Brother Ji, your precious daughter has been rescued; look at this jade bottle.”

Young Master Lin said, handing over a green jade bottle.

Ji Guiyi condensed his Idea Body and eagerly rushed into the jade bottle.

“Daughter!”

“Father…”

When Ji Ziling saw Ji Guiyi, she hesitantly called out “Father,” for she had heard her mother’s words before her impending death.

“Good, good! As long as your immortal soul is intact, I will ask Young Master Lin to recreate your body and revive you, my good daughter.” Ji Guiyi was excited.

“Mhm, Father, please thank Young Master Lin for me, and also…”

“And what else, daughter?”

“Also… everything in the past was because I was too arrogant and too dismissive of others. Father, please apologize to Yao Jianyuan and Chen Ansheng for me. If I have the chance for rebirth, I will change my ways and start anew.”

Ji Guiyi was well aware of his daughter’s character, and he never expected that after experiencing such a life-and-death ordeal, she would change so much.

“Good, good, good! Daughter, you have grown up; I am very pleased.”

At this moment, Ji Guiyi felt immense joy, and all the grievances he had accumulated were swept away.

“Brother Ji, your precious daughter’s immortal soul is weak and should not be disturbed too much.”

Young Master Lin sent a message, and Ji Guiyi quickly exited the jade bottle after reminding a few things.

Then, Ji Guiyi first looked towards Chen Ansheng and Yao Jianyuan and clasped his fists, saying, “Gentlemen, Ziling says she knows her mistakes and lets me apologize on her behalf.”

Yao Jianyuan and Chen Ansheng exchanged smiles.

They had not expected the situation to change this way.

Regardless of whether Ji Ziling’s apology was heartfelt or feigned, it no longer mattered; she had already been punished and learned her lesson.

“It was a misunderstanding; safety is what matters.”

Chen Ansheng responded with a cupped fist, indicating acceptance of the apology.

Ji Guiyi nodded, then turned to the rest, “Previously, it was my recklessness; if I have offended, I hope everyone will bear with me.”

With the matter resolved smoothly and Young Master Lin present, Zhou Taiyuan, Yao Qingtian, and others naturally were not willing to prolong any entanglements.

“Brother Ji, reconstructing an immortal body is not an easy task; your daughter’s immortal soul can only be kept temporarily with me. Once I gather the materials, I will surely act to save her,” Young Master Lin said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Guiyi immediately kneeled on one knee, earnestly saying, “Thank you, Young Master Lin. If you do not mind, please give me a chance to stay by your side, willing to accompany you through thick and thin!”

This scene caused Mo Wu, who was watching, to praise within.

The Grand Young Master originally intended to take Ji Guiyi under his wing, and throughout the entire process, he said nothing but waited for Ji Guiyi to take the initiative to ask him to join; this is truly a brilliant method.

Young Master Lin used immortal power to lift Ji Guiyi, saying, “Brother Ji, please rise. With you alongside, you can assist me in tasks, allowing me to focus on the matter of reconstructing the immortal body; I will rely on you in the future.”

“I would not dare to impose; if there is something, Young Master, just command me!”

“Hahaha, good.”

Accepting this capable warrior, Young Master Lin was naturally overjoyed.

“Alright, the matter is concluded today; may everyone rejoice and disperse.”

As this issue reached a perfect conclusion, Mo Wu instructed, intending to dismiss everyone.

“Wait! Elder Mo, we still have a pact; how can we just disperse like this?”

Suddenly, Zhu Min popped out unexpectedly.
