In front of the ever-bright lamp in the Ji ancestral hall, Ji Fan, who was dressed in cloth, filled the lamp oil, and immediately looked at the tablets on the altar layer by layer.

A tablet slightly lower, with Ji Baofeng's name, was engraved by Ji Fan himself, he felt that if his father was aware, he would also hope that the tablets of other people in the same family would be enshrined in the ancestral hall.

"There are a lot of these tablets, there must be more than thirty generations, even for the cultivation family, it is relatively long, but unfortunately, some of the ancestors' tablets, some of them are engraved according to the genealogy, and there are no traces of the past!" Ji Fan sighed in his heart for a large number of dense tablets.

It has been more than half a month since Ji Fan returned to Ji Mansion, and Ji Zhu, as the patriarch, strictly forbade him to come back, but he has lived quite quietly.

Ji Fan, who was simply cleaning in the ancestral hall, glanced slightly outside the ancestral hall.

Not long after leaving the ancestral hall, Ji Fan saw Ji Zhu enter the hall with a woman.

"Third Uncle......

The woman, who had a little grace, knelt down when she saw Ji Fan, tears kept pouring out of her eyes.

"Something must have happened, right?"

Ji Fan had long expected that it would not stop forever, and seeing Ji Ying's biological mother crying sadly, he asked her calmly.

"Ji Ying was disrespectful and was punished by King Pingnan!" Ji Zhu didn't elaborate, and his aged face showed a look of embarrassment.

In fact, there is no need for Ji Zhu to say in detail, Ji Fan can realize that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, as a concubine, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, if you are shameless, it is not much better than a slave.

"Entering the palace is the family affair of King Pingnan, if my third uncle interferes, I am afraid it will cause the palace to have a greater suspicion of the Ji family. Ji Fan was a little embarrassed, he knew that Ji Ying couldn't come back by himself.

"I can't watch Ying'er being blamed heavily, she can't have any more accidents, if there are any consequences, the family is willing to bear it. It was Ji Zhu who helped say a word.

"Then I'll go check it out!"

Ji Fan nodded, he was not afraid of things, he just felt that the court had rules and regulations, and it was not right to go to the palace to take Ji Ying away like this.

If King Lingnan was still there, Ji Fan wouldn't mind talking to him, but two years ago, King Lingnan died, and he didn't feel the need to deal with the palace and King Pingnan.

"Patriarch, the master of the second master's family is back......"

As soon as Lao Jia Ding ran into the ancestral hall, a man in his forties had already followed.

"Very strong!"

This is the first feeling that Ji Ming brought to Ji Fan when he entered the hall.

When the two cousins met, neither of them spoke, and Ji Ming was not full of hatred like he had seen Ji Fan before.

Eighteen years have passed since the last time he saw Ji Ming outside the Phantom Dust Valley, and Ji Fan can see from his tenacious expression that he has experienced a lot over the years.

Ji Ming, whose face was much older, staggered past Ji Fan in the hall and entered the ancestral hall to worship the ancestral tablet, which made Ji Zhu open his mouth for a while, not knowing what to say.

The reason why Ji Ming gave Ji Fan a strong feeling was because there was a kind of spiritual peak power hidden in his body, as if he had been combined with some kind of wood spirit.

"The family was harmed like this by you, and you still have the face to come back?"

After a while, it was not until Ji Ming came out after worshipping in the ancestral hall that he said gloomily to Ji Fan.

Ji Fan's expression was very calm and he didn't say anything.

"Ming'er is back!"

However, Ji Zhu stepped forward excitedly and touched Ji Ming's body, especially the title, which made his mature face hide a little uncomfortable.

"Sister Zhu, it just so happens that he is back, let him go to Pingnan Palace. When Ji Fan smiled, he was about to leave the hall.

In fact, for the second uncle, the second aunt, and Ji Ming, Ji Fan has long had no hatred, and as he grew older, he let go of some bad grievances in his childhood.

Ji Ming was able to return to the family, and Ji Fan even felt a little relieved and happy in his heart.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Ji Ming still had a dislike for Ji Fan, and while speaking coldly, he inquired about Ji Zhu.

"Second Uncle......"

The woman with a little grace knelt on the ground again, and she only felt that Ji Ming's return was a lifesaver.

"The affairs of the Ji clan have nothing to do with you, don't forget, you are also a child of the Ji clan. After listening to the woman talk about Ji Ying, Ji Ming narrowed his eyes and said to Ji Fan.

"I just don't know what to do, just have you. Ji Fan spread his hands, not completely out of perfunctory.

"Ji Fan, I just hate your attitude, do you remember what I told you before?" Ji Ming stared at Ji Fan fiercely, with hostility.

"Remember, you said you were going to beat me, and you weren't going to let me ride on your head forever. Ji Fan showed an indifferent expression, which made Ji Zhu a little dumbfounded.

"It's good if you remember, you can go to Pingnan Palace. Ji Ming was furious, as if he hated Ji Fan, and it meant that it was not finished.

"If you want to bring Ji Ying back, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Seeing Yin Bao'er appear outside the hall, Ji Fan walked out first.

"Ji Ming, your current appearance seems to be a little older, why don't you take Zhuyan Dan in advance?" After leaving the Ji Mansion and walking for a while, Yin Bao'er asked Ji Ming softly.

"Yin Bao'er ......"

Ji Ming didn't expect Yin Bao'er to say this, as if he had been hit with a heavy hammer, he opened his mouth and said.

"That is, when I was young, I remember that he was quite handsome at that time, but now he is not as good as me. Ji Fan muttered muttering about the knife, and deliberately teased Ji Ming.

"You killed Ye Yao, if it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have died. Ji Ming reminded Ji Fan that he would not let go of the hatred in his heart.

Ji Ming's mood, Ji Fan can still understand it, if it were him, it would also not be counted.

Just like Ji Zhuo and that person in the Burning Sky Valley, although Ji Fan can't talk about hatred now, he will never forgive.

"I don't know where it will go in the future!"

Ji Fan secretly sighed in his heart, Ji Ming and him were temporarily walking all the way, just for the sake of the family, maybe the three brothers would fight to the death in the future.

"Lingnan City has been really lively recently!"

Yin Bao'er smiled softly, easing the atmosphere.

"Under this prosperous appearance, I am afraid that the Lingsha Dynasty and the Chongming Dynasty are going to war again, the lord of Muqing and Tu Qiu are both leaders, the two uncles should know each other, in addition to the two, there are also some powerful people in the dynasty who have come to Lingnan City. "Ji Ying's biological mother has the meaning of reminding Ji Fan and Ji Ming.

"The battle comes and goes, the situation in Cangluan Prefecture is divided equally by the five dynasties, I'm afraid there will be no change, it's just the people and monks who have been recruited!" Ji Fan was not the slightest surprise at what the woman said, because Mu Qing and Tu Qiu came to Lingnan City, and Ji Zhu told him as soon as possible.

In Ji Fan's opinion, whether it is the two realms of righteousness and demons, or the major dynasties, if they can help each other, I am afraid that this day will have changed a long time ago, which is mixed with the powerful relationship between all parties, if you want to break out of the rules, you will only bear the brunt of the destruction.

"The entire cultivation world seems to be chaotic, but there is a potential balance, the rise and fall of the sect, and the replacement of the family, are all in this balance. Yin Bao'er whispered.

The Lingnan Palace, in the south of the city, arrived at the bronze nail and vermilion lacquer gate of the palace, Ji Fan and Ji Ming didn't say anything, obviously not very good at dealing with this situation.

It was Yin Bao'er who comforted the woman and said a few words to her.

Seeing the woman come forward to pay respects, Ji Ming couldn't help frowning: "What did you say to her?"

"Just a sentence, Ji Ying's second and third uncles miss her and want to see her. Yin Bao'er responded to Ji Ming with a light smile.

Seeing that the palace guards didn't hesitate to take care of them at first, but after a while, they hurriedly came out with the chief manager, Ji Ming's face couldn't help but be a little deep.

"This is the same as the Duanwang Mansion in Tianluo City, but there is too much difference!" When he came to the Pingnan Palace, Ji Fan was more thinking about what to do.

Now that he is here, there are some things to say, Ji Fan realized early on that the Ji clan is no longer a way in Lingnan City, he can't stay in the clan all the time, and he will inevitably have no scruples in the future, but he is already worried about the forces of all parties, and he has no good place to arrange the family.

The three distinguished guests arrived at the Pingnan Palace, and the prince was very happy and was already waiting in the study. "There is an old steward in the Pingnan Mansion who has cultivated in the Zhongtian Realm, and he bowed to Ji Fan, Yin Bao'er, and Ji Ming.

"The steward is gracious. ”

Different from Ji Ming's gloom, Ji Fan smiled cheerfully and returned the salute, as if the Pingnan Mansion opposite was a little unnatural.

Entering the palace, the garden pavilions, rockery pavilions are all meticulously carved and ingenious.

It is said that as soon as they entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and Ji Fan and the three of them followed the old steward, walked for half a cup of tea, and passed through many courtyard walls before they came to the rather quaint meeting hall.

There are many slaves and maids in the palace, and there are many masters, Ji Fan can think that Ji Ying, as a concubine, will be silent in the palace when she enters the palace, especially in the case of the decline of the Ji family, she will not be embarrassed.

In the study, a young man wearing a brocade robe stood with his hands behind his back, his expression was extremely calm, while the girl standing on the side was a little apprehensive.

"I didn't expect that they were still alive, and there were two people here, what do you want me to explain to others?" the young man muttered, and then asked the girl who was standing.

Behind the girl, the maid holding the tea tray made an imperceptible sound from the tea bowl, apparently caused by trembling.

"The concubine didn't expect that the three sons of the Ji family are all alive, since they have found it, the prince might as well tell the truth, then Ji Ying is disrespectful and offended first, the concubine doesn't think there is anything wrong with a little punishment, the Ji family will be destroyed sooner or later, and the ancestor of my Lin family will not let them go. The girl dressed in a brocade palace dress faintly glanced at the maid serving tea behind her.

Hearing the footsteps outside, the eyes of the young man in the brocade robe narrowed slightly, and even the girl in the palace costume stopped talking.
