Watermelon, Ji Ruyue, and Ji Rubing followed Ji Yuyan into the Ice and Snow Celestial Blessed Land. Ji Rubing, ever the quick-spoken one, asked, "Mother, are we really leaving?"
Ji Ruyue, on the other hand, asked, "Mother, what about the Ji Family…?"
Watermelon remained silent, but his eyes were also on Ji Yuyan.
Ji Yuyan gave a bitter smile and said, "You don't truly understand what kind of person the Saint Emperor is. Even if I were to marry him, he still wouldn't spare the Ji Family. But then, the Ji Family wouldn't spare them, either!"
"A fight?" Watermelon asked.
Ji Yuyan shook her head slightly. "A large-scale conflict won't break out that easily. Though the Saint Emperor is overwhelmingly powerful, he is not the only one in the Saint Emperor Lineage! Besides, the Ji Family is not entirely defenseless. We don't need to worry about these things. If I marry the Saint Emperor, it will only make matters worse!"
