Had Ji Qingwei not been unable to leave home at the moment, Ji Longtai might have mistaken the celebrity for her presence.
But it was only at first glance.
Upon closer inspection, Ji Longtai realized they were not alike at all.
Yet, this still made him quite uncomfortable.
In Ji Longtaiâs eyes, Ji Qingwei was unique in the world.
Among their peers, who could compare to his daughter?
Ji Qingwei excelled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and boasted a high intelligence. Naturally, her looks were also superior.
Although Ji Longtai acknowledged that celebrities generally had good looks, this celebrity, mistaken for Ji Qingwei, seemed to overshadow his daughter in beauty, which he found particularly irksome.
âSheâs recognized as the Great Xiaâs divine beauty,â Ji Qingyao responded indifferently, even somewhat disinterestedly, âWho is she?â
Despite being isolated in the Thousand Army Alliance for training, she played Oracle, which was why she received an invitation from the system.
Just by logging into the game, one would see the daily login gift popup, so Ji Qingyao was well aware of what Si Fuqing looked like.
Not remembering Si Fuqingâs name was one thing, but forgetting her face was another.
Ji Longtai was instantly furious. âHow can you speak like that? Can she even compare to Qingwei?â
âSpeaking the truth,â Ji Qingyao replied calmly. âWhat, you donât believe me? If you donât, go ahead and show photos of them both to others and see what they
say. â
Their voices were neither too loud nor too soft, but with the crowd being dense, the situation escalated.
A male fan of Si Fuqing, who had come with his girlfriend, immediately took offense at their words.
âWho are you talking about?â the young man was displeased. âMy goddess is universally acknowledged for unifying Eastern and Western beauty standards. Who is more beautiful than her? Are you joking. Support who you want, but why disparage my goddess? Do you want to fight?â
The girlfriend also glared fiercely.
Ji Longtai hadnât expected his offhand remark to spark a confrontation and quickly apologized several times.
But his anger, unabated, was directed towards Ji Qingyao.
Ji Longtaiâs fingers trembled with rage. âHow can you talk about your younger sister like that? She always considers you, worrying whenever youâre injured. You might not care about her, but to belittle her here?â
âDo you know whenever you come back injured, your younger sister cries for a long time, ending up bedridden for days? Is this how you act as the older sister?â
Ji Qingyao grew impatient. âIf she wants to cry, what does it have to do with
Ji Longtai was speechless with anger. âYou⦠youâre just saying this because youâre healthy! You just canât stand to see your younger sister doing well.â People naturally sympathize with the weaker.
And since Ji Qingwei grew up alongside Ji Longtai, he naturally favored her more.
Ji Qingyao responded nonchalantly, âYes, yes, yes.â
Ji Longtai glared at her, about to retort, when the music started and cheers around them grew louder.
âAh, Qingqing!â
âMy wife, look here!â
The noise was overwhelming, causing Ji Longtai to frown deeply.
Were these people really that crazy?
Was itjust because she was pretty?
A mere actress from the entertainment industry, worthy of comparison with Ji Qingwei?
Ji Longtai, no longer interested, stormed off.
Ji Qingyao stayed behind, leaving only after Si Fuqing had finished her appearance.
JI Xingzhi was also there, waiting in the backstage lounge.
As a friend of Si Fuqing, the staff treated him very courteously, affording him VIP treatment.
Upon Si Fuqingâs entry, JI Xingzhi sprung to his feet.
âBig brother, youâre amazing,â JI Xingzhi boasted. âYouâre really popular now.
Several people from my family who play Oracle are your fans.â
âEspecially your promotional image in the game, truly beautiful! My big brother, the most beautiful!â
Si Fuqing felt speechless, before she said, ââ¦If you keep talking nonsense, Iâll send you thousands of miles away.â
âIâm wrong, Iâm wrong,â JI Xingzhi immediately backed down. âIâm here to bring you a gaming helmet.â
He brought out a box, âHere, the latest model, portable, very convenient. The game pod got stuck at customs, itâll take some more time.â
âNot bad,â Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. âHow much did it cost?â
âIt didnât cost anything,â JI Xingzhi was very honest. âI just took a compass from my old manâs treasury.â
Si Fuqing:
How did she, a frugal person, end up knowing all these spendthrifts?
The JI family, with a thousand-year heritage, naturally had no shortage of treasures in their treasury.
Possessing the mask ofEmperor Yin already showcased their profound heritage..
