The sky was gradually shrouded in darkness, and lights began to light up in Ji's mansion one after another. The warm light illuminated the entire yard.

When Jiang Jingmo woke up and opened the door, the black cloth in the backyard had been removed, revealing the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

There were already quite a few people standing in the yard. Jiang Ji heard the noise of her coming out, walked up to her and gently touched her head.

"Momo, did you have a good rest?"

Jiang Jingmo nodded, his eyes still hazily closed, and he looked extremely sleepy.

Jiang Ji couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and stuffed a candy into her mouth. This candy was specially prepared by Elder Gou Yikun and it has the effect of refreshing the mind.

Not long after, Ke Su also came out of her room. She was yawning and her hat was worn upside down. She accidentally bumped into Nan Xun.

"What's going on? Fraud?"

Nan Xun's noisy voice sounded, and Ke Su was half awakened. She opened her eyes blankly and saw that the hat moved by itself.

"?"

Ke Su was a little confused and thought he was still dreaming, until the bamboo hat was turned straight and the veil was lifted, revealing Nan Xun's baby face.

"Did you sleep like a fool?"

Nan Xun raised his eyebrows, and was then dragged away by Jiang Jiting, and the veil fell down again.

"Who taught you to lift a woman's hat?"

Jiang Ji pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

“Can’t this thing be lifted?”

Nan Xun looked confused and scratched his head.

"How can you just lift up the things that women use to cover their faces? This is very disrespectful." Jiang Jiting explained seriously.

"But didn't Ke Su hide his face because he was afraid people would see his appearance?"

Nan Xun nodded as if he understood, but there were still doubts in his little head.

"nature."

"But we have already seen Ke Su's face. She is not afraid of us seeing her."

"..."

Jiang Ji was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Jingmo was holding a candy in his mouth and was almost awake. Looking at the scene in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up and reveal a smile.

"This thing, it turns out that it can't be opened?"

Ke Su also woke up at this moment. She gently lifted the veil from inside, revealing her delicate little face.

She had lived in that dark room since she was a child and knew nothing about such etiquette.

"Of course, this is etiquette. If it could be lifted up, why would anyone wear a hat?" Jiang Jingmo explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Ke Su nodded, but she didn't care too much about it. She quickly put the incident of Nan Xun lifting her hat out of her mind.

And under Jiang Jiting's continuous teaching, Nan Xun finally remembered one thing in his heart.

You cannot lift a woman’s hat.

They played around for a while, and soon a servant came from the front yard to take them into the hall.

When these servants saw Ji Chuhe, they respectfully called her "Miss".

Ji Chuhe responded indifferently, with no extra expression on her face. Even after arriving in Ji'an City, she no longer looked very happy.

Jiang Jingmo secretly watched all of this and followed the servants to the lobby in silence.

The lobby is brightly lit.

There were two people sitting in the main seat, they were Ji Chuhe's father and mother, but strangely, both of them had their eyes covered with a piece of white silk.

"You guys are here? Sorry for not welcoming you in person."

As soon as they reached the door, Ji's father spoke loudly, he stood up from his chair and bowed to everyone.

"Uncle Ji, you're too polite."

Jiang Jiting also clasped his fists in return. He naturally noticed the strangeness of the two people, but no matter what, now was not the time to raise questions.

"Father, mother."

Ji Chuhe shouted calmly.

The two people sitting in the main seat smiled brightly upon hearing this, especially Mrs. Ji, who stood up and walked to Ji Chuhe's side.

She gently touched Ji Chuhe's face with a gentle smile on her face.

"Chu He is back. You have been practicing in the sect for these years and have not come back. I was worried about you. But seeing that you look rosy, you should be having a good time in the sect."

Ji Chuhe nodded gently, she took her mother's hand away from her face without leaving a trace, and then forced a faint smile.

"That's good, but Dad, Mom, you should let our disciples take a seat first, and don't let them stand all the time."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I am so happy that I am confused. Everyone, please take a seat."

Upon hearing this, Ji's father hurriedly spoke, and then he asked the servants to serve them tea.

The servants who came and went all had their faces covered with a piece of white silk. However, their silk was much thinner than that of Ji's father and mother, so I think they should be able to see through it with some ease.

But it is still inconvenient to be covered by a piece of silk.

Soon, something went wrong in the hall. A servant, who seemed to have trouble seeing clearly, bumped his teacup into the corner of the table, and the tea spilled all over Jiang Jiting.

A water stain suddenly appeared on his white robe, and the servant holding the teacup immediately knelt on the ground, looking very frightened.

"Yes...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

His body was shaking slightly, as if something terrible had happened.

"No problem, just some tea, get up."

Jiang Ji frowned and pretended to help him, but unexpectedly, Ji's father, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke first.

"Don't worry about him, fellow Taoist. Just let him take his punishment later."

Father Ji looked at Jiang Jiting with a smile. There was no anger in his voice, but it frightened the servant so much that he lost his strength.

"Master, Master, I really didn't mean it, Master..."

The servant knelt and crawled towards Ji's father, but Ji's father just spoke calmly.

"Someone, take him away."

Upon hearing this, someone immediately stepped forward and dragged the servant out. Before dragging him away, they even stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth for fear that he would say more.

The hall returned to calm again. When everyone saw what had just happened, they all looked a little ugly.

"I'm sorry to make you all laugh at my poor discipline of my servants."

Mrs. Ji smiled and tried to smooth over what had just happened.

Everyone agreed that it was okay, but an extremely strange feeling slowly grew in their hearts.

Only Ji Chuhe continued to drink the tea in his hand with an expressionless face, apparently he was used to this matter.

Father Ji put down the teacup, he looked in the direction of Ji Chuhe and asked her about her life in Jiuxiao Sect. He looked so eager, like a kind father.

But for some reason, everyone in Jiuxiao Sect felt that the atmosphere between Ji Chuhe and her family was weird, and there was an extremely disharmonious feeling.

Ji Chuhe answered one sentence at a time at the beginning, but later she simply put down the teacup in her hand and looked straight at her father.

"Dad sent me a message, I'm afraid he didn't come back to chat with me?"

Her tone was indifferent and her eyes were so cold that it seemed as if she was not looking at her father.

"Didn't Dad say that Zhijie was in trouble?"
