Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 849: Deeply Rooted Love (294)

"Oh, I’m not doing it, I’m very busy, I don’t have time."

"It seems you won’t listen to me, so just wait for your elder brother to send you a message."

Dai Ji finished speaking and vanished before her.

Jun Li knew her intentions all too well, so many people could have easily been sent to organize it, yet she insisted on doing it herself. What was the intention?

Was it to put on a show for the outside world, that the mother-daughter relationship was harmonious?

Or was there another purpose?

Whatever the reason, she would not let things go her way.

Jun Li sent a message to Long Yubei, and then left.

Imperial Decree? Unable to find anyone, let’s see who receives it!

Indeed, shortly after she left home, the Heavenly King sent people over.

But they couldn’t find anyone, naturally unable to notify.

So the messengers began searching everywhere for her.

They searched many places but couldn’t find anyone.

Helplessly, they returned to inform the Heavenly King that they couldn’t find her.

The Heavenly King was so smart, he immediately knew she was intentionally hiding, and he understood the nature of the mother-daughter relationship.

"Report the truth to the Empress, tell her I’ve asked Madam to handle this, and that she needn’t worry about it anymore."

"Yes."

After learning the result, Dai Ji sneered coldly, said nothing, and continued to play the zither.

"It seems your daughter’s temper has grown much worse than before; at least in the past, she’d reluctantly go through the motions even if unwilling," Jun Xian’an said, leaning against the couch. "Since she refuses, then wait for your birthday; she will certainly come, and if she doesn’t, it means she has no respect whatsoever."

"Her attitude exudes confidence, which can only mean one thing," Dai Ji raised her eyes and looked at him steadily. "It means her wings have hardened, and she’s no longer the timid child she used to be."

"If not for my consideration for your maternal bond, I would have eliminated both siblings long ago. Allowing them to live until now is entirely for your sake."

Jun Xian’an naturally refused to admit there was no opportunity to eliminate them. Ever since her father’s death, Jun Li had been cautiously and precariously living in the Heavenly World with her brother.

From a young age, she possessed mana surpassing her peers, and those sent to assassinate her either failed and were countered, or never returned.

He wanted to kill her himself, but this girl had installed a heavenly eye at her residence, a small device linked to her allies in the Five Realms; if anything happened at her residence, the culprit would be plainly seen.

Since then, Jun Xian’an dared not send people to her again, nor dared he go to kill her himself.

She and Jun Yu would not leave their residence before dark, rarely leaving the Heavenly World.

By the time she removed the heavenly eye, it was already too late for him to kill her.

By then, Jun Li’s reputation had spread, she had even led soldiers against the Demon Immortal’s realm a few times, winning each time.

Waiting for her to make a mistake, yet there was no opportunity.

Until her confrontation with Hong Ying began.

Undeniably, if not for their secret plotting, Jun Li would not have ended up nearly never waking up.

Unimaginably, she woke up again.

Came back.

Knowing full well the circumstances were complex, and many coveted her life, she dared to show herself.

Without fear.

"I have never spared them for any maternal bond, nor do you need to hesitate for my sake. This child is very wild; if one day she confirms who killed her father, it’s hard to ensure she won’t wreak havoc in the Heavenly World. Moreover, Jun Yu’s ability is not much weaker than his sister’s. Furthermore, we’ve already learned that Jun Li has been secretly cultivating her own forces. Over the years, her forces have remained composed, and presumably, Jun Yu has had significant instruction. We don’t know how many people she’s trained, and we cannot sit and await destruction; we must take the initiative."

"I agree."
