Upon hearing Mei Ji's words, Jiu Ge was overjoyed and looked at Mei Ji, asking, "Mother, is everything you said true?"
Mei Ji nodded slightly and replied, "It's true. Once this matter has settled, I will pass the position of Clan Leader to you, and I will live in seclusion and spend my remaining years in peace."
As Mei Ji spoke, her expression darkened. Her gaze slowly swept across Ye You, Qin Sisi, and others who were approaching her. She spoke sorrowfully, "But I may not live to see that day. Jiu'er, in the days ahead, you'll be all alone. You must take good care of yourself. Mother can no longer stay by your side."
Pain surged in Jiu Ge's heart, and he hurriedly offered gentle comfort, "No, Mother. As long as you see reason, I will find a way to keep you and Midair City safe."
After finishing, Jiu Ge entrusted Mei Ji to Li Li's care and stood up to confront Ye You and Qin Sisi.
