Just like Ji Mo, Ji Lin’er was sent away to further her studies at the age of 16, but she did not go to Tianyuan Academy. Instead, she went to another cultivation place, Tiandi Sword Cave, where she was scouted due to her qualities and was brought into the sect for cultivation.

 ‘Second Sister is also back and she even arrived on a ray of light! Her cultivation base must have reached the Qi Plundering Boundary!’ Ji Mo exclaimed in his heart. After not having met for a few years, Ji Lin’er was now a true cultivator.

 While Ji Mo was deep in thought, Ji Lin’er was already walking towards the residence and she walked past him without looking at him.

 “Wow, Second Sister, did you really not see me?” Ji Mo’s expression changed as he shouted.

 Ji Lin’er stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Ji Mo with her beautiful, huge and twinkly eyes. She was stunned at first and then she quickly said, “Little Mo, it’s you! Oh my god! You’ve changed so much in just a few years. I didn’t recognize you just now.”

 “You really didn’t see me,” he said while rolling his eyes.

 “Hehe…” Ji Lin’er walked up and stood in front of Ji Mo, standing at half a head taller than him as she laughed. “You’ve changed a lot, but there’s no difference in your height. You’re still so short…hehe…”

 “You’ll die if you don’t mock me, huh? As a girl who’s more than 1.8 meters tall, which guy wouldn’t be pressured if they stood beside you?” Ji Mo retorted with a pout.

 Ji Lin’er was still smiling. She was excited to see Ji Mo as they had not seen each other for many years. They seemed to have forgotten everything as they chatted at the entrance.

 “Mom sent a letter saying that you went to Tianyuan Academy. How’s it now?” Ji Lin’er asked, concerned about her younger brother.

 “It’s just been like that. I’ve been fooling around,” he replied with a chuckle.

 Ji Lin’er sighed and said, “I advised Mom in the beginning and told her that you didn’t like anything related to the cultivation world so that they wouldn’t force you. But Mom and Dad didn’t listen. If they had let you learn the ropes of our family business, I guess you would’ve taken over by now. Big Brother and I are both studying at cultivation schools so that we are able to take care of the clan. Why would they want to bother you?”

 “Haha, oh, life, you can’t hide from it,” Ji Mo teased. “Alright, let’s go in. Does Mom know you’re back?”

 “Hmm, I’ve notified her about it,” she said as both of them walked into the lavish residence.

 In front of the Ji family mansion, there were two male servants. When they saw the approaching duo, they were stunned. One of them went up to stop them. However, when this male servant saw Ji Lin’er, he was immediately attracted by her beauty, but he quickly recollected himself. “You are… Second Miss, you’re back! Madam purposely told me to wait for you. She said that you’d be coming back from the sect, but I never thought you’d be so fast.”

 “Yes, after not meeting for a few years, you’ve become more and more beautiful, Second Miss,” the other male servant said, his gaze was entirely drawn to Ji Lin’er.

 “Hey, can’t you all see me?” Ji Mo demanded. Earlier, Ji Lin’er had ignored him, and now, even his family servants were ignoring him. Could they be serious?

 However, they could not be blamed. Ji Lin’er was radiantly glowing like a goddess. Standing next to such a person would naturally overshadow one’s limelight. Therefore, Ji Lin’er stole all the attention.

 “Third Young Master, you’re back too! That’s great. I’ll report this to Master and Madam. Madam will be so happy to see both of you.” After saying that, the male servant went into the mansion hurriedly. The two male servants had been with the Ji family for a long time, thus they were no strangers to Ji Mo and Ji Lin’er.

 Smiling, Ji Lin’er walked into the mansion with Ji Mo.

 The Ji family was considered very wealthy in Moon River City, and they were also a family of cultivators. Therefore, their mansion was very extravagant. Nevertheless, Ji Mo was used to the scenery, so he did not stop and he strolled into the inner courtyard with Ji Lin’er. Before reaching the inner courtyard, he heard some footsteps in the distance and a group of people entered his sight.

 They were led by a woman. Although she had passed her middle age, one could tell from her elegant facial features that she had been a great beauty when she was younger. This woman was Ji Mo and Ji Lin’er’s mother, Shen Shuyi. Shen Shuyi had also been a cultivator of the Tianshan Sword Sect in the beginning, but later on, she left the cultivation world to accompany Ji Mo’s father to run the family business here.

 Right then, it seemed as though Shen Shuyi’s feet did not touch the ground as she glided forward. Behind her were two maids who struggled to catch up and the two male servants.

 Shen Shuyi saw Ji Mo and Ji Lin’er at a glance and tears flowed out of her eyes. Her son and daughter had not been home for many years, especially Ji Lin’er who had not returned for 4 years. Any parent in the world who saw their children return home would be as excited as Shen Shuyi.

 “Lin’er, Little Mo, you are back!” Shen Shuyi said in excitement as she went forward to embrace and scrutinize her children.

 “Ah, finally, I’m not ignored!” Ji Mo smiled bitterly as he held his mother and said, “Mom, how have you been all these years? Look at how thin…hey, no, it looks like you’ve put on weight.”

 “Stinky boy, you’re always playing the fool.” Shen Shuyi gave her son’s forehead a hard knock, but the love in her eyes could not be hidden.

 “Mom, you’re always favoring Little Mo. You don’t seem that excitement now that I’ve come home. You always take care of your son first,” Ji Lin’er complained with a pout while standing aside, and she glanced at Ji Mo with a slight dissatisfaction.

 Shen Shuyi smiled and held Ji Lin’er’s hand, then she laughed. “Hmm…my baby girl is all grown up and beautiful. What a surprise! Alright, quickly go in. Your father is still waiting inside. If he sees how his children are so grown up now, he’d be surprised too.”

 “Mmm, okay.” Ji Mo and Ji Lin’er nodded.

 At that moment, Shen Shuyi held Ji Mo back and said, “Little Mo, when you go in, please mind your words. You know what your father’s temper is like, and your second uncle is here too.”

 Once his second uncle was mentioned, Ji Mo’s eyes turned icy instantly. His second uncle’s name was Ji Liangdong and he was Ji Shan’s father. Since Ji Mo was young, Second Uncle Ji Liangdong looked down on him. His two sons, Ji Shan and Ji Shan’s older brother, Ji Chun, were influenced by their father and they treated him the same way. They would ridicule him whenever they saw him. The way Ji Shan treated him previously was a good example.

 A cold flash crossed Ji Lin’er’s eyes. It was obvious that she did not have a good impression of Ji Liangdong.

 Following behind Shen Shuyi, Ji Mo clenched his fists tightly. Since young, he had not been treated very well in his clan. The reason was that his cultivation performance was bad and the clansmen thought that he was not cultivation material. They even doubted Ji Mo’s talent. In the end, even his own father lost hope in him.

 This time, if Ji Mo told them that he would be an inner disciple of the Tianshan Sword Sect, he did not know what they would think of him.

 Secretly, he started to look forward to it.

 In the Ji family’s main hall, Ji Mo and Ji Lin’er followed behind their mother and walked in. Once they walked in, Ji Mo saw many people gathered there, and naturally, his father was the leader among them.

 Father Ji was almost middle-aged and he was dressed in a beautiful robe. Although he was not considered tall, he radiated a different aura. He had alertness in his eyes which were tenacious. Since Ji Mo’s father was also a cultivator under Old Man Qingzhu’s tutelage a few years ago, he had successfully achieved the fifth-tier Qi Plundering Boundary.
