After that, he was separated from his younger brother and never saw him again. The last time he heard news of his brother was when he learned that his mother had fallen in love with a man from beyond the Great Wall, and that his mother had left with him and his brother.
He actually had no communication with Mingkongzi, since the two brothers lived in different families when they were still infants. So he never mentioned to his son that he had a younger brother.
Unexpectedly, he has now become Ming Kongzi, the master of the cult leader, and stands on the opposite side of him.

After meeting Master Ji, Ji Qingzhou took her for a walk around the manor, and finally they stopped by a pool in the bamboo forest.
On a hot summer day, this place was indeed cool and refreshing. Wan Ge soaked her feet in the pool and felt completely comfortable.
Suddenly feeling a burning gaze, Wan Ge looked up and found that Ji Qingzhou had once again fixed his gaze on her feet.
Wan Ge lifted her foot, causing ripples in the pool. Sunlight shone on the water, reflecting off her feet, making them appear even whiter and more luminous. "Is it really that beautiful?"
Ji Qingzhou blushed and nodded. Wan Ge extended her hand, and Ji Qingzhou instinctively grasped it.
Wan Ge pulled him to sit beside the pond, gently leaning on his shoulder, and said, "It's all yours."
Ji Qingzhou felt a ripple in his heart. He really liked what she said: "It all belongs to him, including her as a person."
Just then, Ji Qingzhou saw an eagle circling in the sky. After circling a few times, it swooped down, its target seemingly them.
Ji Qingzhou was about to stand up when she saw Wan Ge raise her hand. In an instant, Ji Qingzhou saw an eagle perched on her forearm, and there seemed to be a note tied to the eagle's foot.
Wan Ge patted the eagle's head, took out the note, and said, "You've worked hard. How about I take you to catch rabbits later?"
The other party seemed to understand what Wan Ge said, nodded slightly, and then flew away.
"Wange, is it here to deliver a message to you?" Do they all use eagles to deliver messages?
Wan Ge nodded and answered softly, "In our area, eagles are our companions. It has been with me since I was five years old."
Eagles have a lifespan of around fifty years, allowing them to accompany their owners from a young age until old age. While it's not accurate to say that everyone owned an eagle, most nobles would have one by their side.
Wan Ge opened the letter in her hand. Ji Qingzhou glanced at it but couldn't understand it at all because it was written in their language, which Ji Qingzhou had never learned before.
However, I noticed that Wan Ge next to me was smiling and seemed quite happy, which should be a good thing.
Wan Ge spoke softly to the person beside her: "I asked A Ying to pass on a message to my father, telling him that I wanted to break off my engagement with Chi Yan and that I had someone I loved. Now my father has replied to me, and he has agreed to break off the engagement."
However, he said he would come to see us after he finished dealing with his current affairs. He wanted to know what kind of person his son-in-law was.
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingzhou immediately tensed up: "What preparations should we make? When will Father arrive? Can I go and have people make preparations now?"
"No need to rush, it probably won't be more than half a month." He said the matter he needed to deal with wouldn't be resolved so quickly.
