"Ji Fengming! How dare you speak like that!" Ji Chenjiang reprimanded Ji Fengming in displeasure.
Ji Chenhai immediately jumped up to defend his son: "How can you elders speak like that? That's exactly how my Fengming speaks, no problem!"
"You, you unfilial descendant, get out! All of you get out!" The elder of the Ji family was so angry that he kept slamming his cane on the ground.
Ji Chenhai stiffened his neck, his tone extremely defiant: "Fine, I'll get out! It's not like it's the first time I've done this!"
That's all.
The father and son were about to turn around and leave, completely forgetting why they had come back in the first place.
The eldest patriarch of the Ji family was extremely stubborn, almost throwing his cane away as he shouted at Ji Chenhai's back, "Once you're gone, don't ever come back!"
“If you’re not coming back, then you’re not coming back. We’re not born to be scolded. We don’t need to come back to listen to your nagging,” Ji Chenhai replied instantly without turning his head.
Black Owl: "..."
The Ji family truly lives up to the old saying: "Like begets like."
"Uncle Ji, that guy from Black Purgatory is still causing trouble outside," Black Owl reminded helplessly.
Ji Chenhai: "Huh? Oh right, how could I have forgotten about him?"
As he spoke, Ji Chenhai turned back quite naturally and plopped down next to Ji Chenjiang, as if nothing had happened.
With a serious expression, he said to the clan elder, who was still as angry as a defeated rooster, "I suspect that our Ji family's sworn enemy is an evil organization called Black Purgatory. The thing breaking the formation outside our ancestral land is from Black Purgatory."
Although the elder of the "Black Purgatory" clan was still furious, he didn't mention telling Ji Chenhai and his son to get lost again: "Does such a sect exist in the martial arts world?"
"It doesn't belong to any martial arts sect or the imperial court. It specializes in capturing young children and using them to aid their cultivation," Ji Chenhai briefly explained the situation of Black Purgatory to the clan elders and his brothers.
The Ji family members were completely confused:
"Demons? Cultivation?"
These fantastical words felt unfamiliar and unbelievable to them.
But when Ji Fengming summoned his longsword on the spot and demonstrated flying on a sword for them.
The elder of the Ji family stood up shakily, walked to the door, looked up at Ji Fengming who had already flown into the air on his sword, and said with tears in his eyes, "What a terrible debt, what a terrible debt!"
"The clan elder?"
"Elder, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Chenjiang and his brothers, along with the second and third clan elders, looked at the eldest clan elder with puzzlement.
The elder avoided answering and instead said to Ji Chenhai, "You said that these cultivation methods were taught to Yao'er by a deity in a dream, and then Yao'er taught them to you?"
“That’s what Yao’er said,” Ji Chenhai nodded.
The elder sighed heavily and said, "You should come back quickly and bring Yao'er back with you. Don't let her wander outside anymore."
"What about Rujing and Xiaojiu?" Ji Chenhai looked at the elder with expectant eyes, not giving an inch.
The elder clansman kept leaning on his cane, gritting his teeth in a mixture of anxiety, anger, and resentment, saying, "Outsiders cannot stay in our ancestral land for long periods. Our ancestors will be angry. This is a clan rule passed down through generations of our Ji family. How can you not understand this? This is not something you or I can decide!"
“I know, but I can’t abandon Rujing. As for Yao’er, I will explain the situation to her, and I will respect her decision whether she wants to come back or not. As for Xiao Jiu, I’ve made up my mind about my son-in-law, and I will not break them up,” Ji Chenhai said earnestly.
