On the desolate and untidy land, the sky was filled with countless black fissures, spread out like centipedes.
Inside an intact attic, Qin Jun sat on a chair sipping tea with Xing Tian and others seated beside him, while across from them sat Ji Ruyi and a group of elders.
"So, what do you think of my proposal? Do you accept it?"
Qin Jun took a sip of his tea and asked with a smile. Faced with his gaze, Ji Ruyi and the others dared not meet his eyes directly.
Clasping his hands tightly within his sleeves, Ji Ruyi was caught in inner turmoil. Qin Jun's proposal was for the Ji Family to join the Heavenly Court of Great Qin but not to publicize it. If they agreed, Qin Jun would help Ji Ruyi become one of the Nine Emperors.
In other words, Qin Jun intended to turn him into a puppet.
But the temptation of becoming one of the Nine Emperors was too great for Ji Ruyi to refuse.
Moreover, if he refused, Qin Jun would surely become furious, and the consequences would be unthinkable.
