Chapter 320 The Eldest Young Master of the Xuanyuan Family

Chapter 320 The Eldest Young Master of the Xuanyuan Family

Five months later.

South City, Southern Continent.

Today, South City was bustling with excitement because it was Ji Shu's birthday, the young lady of the Ji family.

The Ji family were descendants of the royal lineage, and Ji Shu, being their only daughter, was truly a royal princess, pampered since birth.

Her birthday party had to be grand, inviting all the notable ladies and heirs from the wealthiest families across the Southern Continent.

At the luxurious party, Ji Ming also showed his affection for his younger sister by presenting her with a rare blue gemstone necklace, which he personally placed around her neck.

Ji Shu did not inherit her father's golden hair and blue eyes but instead inherited her mother's black hair and brown eyes, with delicate features that combined the allure of a mixed-race beauty with the grace of an Eastern woman.

The Ji family had always produced beauties, and Ji Shu was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the Southern Continent.

Ji Shu fondly touched the necklace around her neck. "Thank you, brother."

She scanned the crowd at the party and asked, "Brother, where is that Miss Yunzhe? Why isn't she here?"

Everyone quickly joined in the chatter.

"Yeah, Young Master Ji, I heard that the former head of the Yun family not only didn't die but returned unscathed. Could it be that they have some kind of resurrection technique?"

"What resurrection? The Yun family has always been cunning. They probably faked their deaths to deceive their enemies. Didn't they immediately take over many businesses upon their return?"

"I don't care about that. I heard that Yun Mu is disfigured now and rarely goes out, always wearing a mask when she does! Young Master Ji, tell us, what does Yun Mu look like now?"

...

The crowd's discussions grew louder, and Ji Ming's face darkened.

His blue eyes narrowed, and with a loud "slam," he slammed his wine glass down on the table.

The chatter ceased as everyone turned to look at him.

"Who gave you the nerve to talk about her like this?"

His words startled everyone.

Indeed! That was the once-feared head of the Yun family, Yun Mu!

If she found out they were discussing her disfigurement?

Thinking of Yun Mu's ruthless methods, everyone shuddered.

Ji Shu knew that Yun Mu was her brother's sore spot and regretted her earlier comment.

She quickly tried to lighten the mood.

"Alright, aren't you all here for my birthday party? Why are we talking about Yun Mu? Today, I also invited the eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family. Wonder if he'll show up?"

This statement successfully captured everyone's attention.

Recently, two major events had shaken the Southern Continent.

First, the head of the Yun family, Yun Mu, and Yunzhe both returned from the dead. The exact reasons were unknown, but everyone speculated that they had faked their deaths to mislead their opponents.

Second, the Xuanyuan family suddenly had a new eldest young master who had been raised outside. It was said that he was the child of Miss Yi Qinglan! With such a powerful backing, everyone believed that the Xuanyuan family's inheritance would eventually fall into his hands.

Such a mysterious and noble figure naturally piqued everyone's curiosity.

Ji Ming felt a bit confused and pulled Ji Shu aside. "Eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family? Are you talking about Xuanyuan Jie? Wasn't he sent abroad after causing trouble?"

"Of course not that fool! You've been sick at home for months, focused solely on Yun Mu. You must not know the big news in South City recently?"

"What news?"

"The Xuanyuan family has a new eldest young master! He bears his mother's surname, Yi." Ji Shu smiled dreamily and excitedly added, "I heard he's very handsome. Although he's a bastard, he has the support of the Yi family and the attention of Xuanyuan Ming. His future is surely bright!"

She then whispered to Ji Ming, "What do you think if I ask Father to arrange a marriage between me and him?"

"Don't even think about it!" Ji Ming's face darkened instantly. "I warn you, stay away from that man. He's no good!"

Ji Shu pouted. "Brother, you haven't even met him. How do you know if he's good or not? You just can't accept losing Yun Mu and don't want me to find happiness!"

"Shut up! So many people are watching; don't embarrass yourself!"

Ji Ming shook off Ji Shu's hand and walked outside. He needed to instruct the security guards to keep this eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family out.

The Ji family absolutely did not welcome him!

Ha, what nonsense about the eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family?

It's just that scoundrel Huo Tingying!

He never thought he would come to the Southern Continent. What does he want? Is he trying to take back Ah Mu?

He's dreaming!

As Ji Ming walked outside, he called Yun Mu. He had to warn her that this scoundrel was in the Southern Continent.

Just then, someone outside shouted, "The eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family is here!"

What?!

Everyone turned their heads.

The door was pushed open, and a gust of icy wind swept in, bringing with it the sight of a tall and imposing figure.

This was the eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family!

Yijue!

Today, Yijue wore a custom-made black suit, topped with a sleek black overcoat, which accentuated his tall and straight posture. Strands of his hair were sprinkled with tiny snowflakes, and he squinted his eyes slightly, his long lashes partially concealing his gaze. His chin held a proud tilt, and every movement exuded the elegance and dignity of an upper-class successful man, radiating the aura of a true king.

He walked in with long strides and steady steps, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

This was the eldest young master of the Xuanyuan family. In that moment, everyone forgot about his status as a bastard child, only seeing him as someone noble and unattainable, worthy of admiration. His mature and reserved demeanor carried a touch of cold aloofness, captivating all the ladies present.

No one was more excited than Ji Shu.

Such an outstanding and handsome man should be the one to match her, Ji Shu.

As the little princess of the Ji family, Ji Shu had seen countless excellent men since childhood. Her brother, Ji Ming, was also a top-notch handsome figure in the Southern Continent.

But she immediately recognized the difference in Yijue; he was truly the pride of heaven, a true king.

Just one glance from this man would be enough to drive all women mad!

She must have this man!

She stepped forward proudly, introducing herself shyly, "Hello, Young Master Yijue, I'm glad you could attend my birthday party. My name is Ji Shu."

Yijue stopped, his deep and narrow eyes falling on Ji Shu's beautiful and striking face, expressionless.

After a long pause, he spoke in a indifferent tone, "Miss Ji, there's no need for formalities. I'm here to drop off my girlfriend."

What?!

Girlfriend?!

Everyone present was stunned.
