Junior Sister Returns Home

He Wanying returned the day before Kang Dabao's departure. As soon as she returned to the sect, she realized that she could not recognize the current Chongming Sect.

The scene before her, with its carved beams and windows, upturned eaves, flying eaves and carved pillars, was something she had never seen before.

When Sect Leader He was alive, he disliked these things. He believed that the sect had not yet been restored and there was no need to put on such superficial and futile efforts.

I only hope that I or my Martial Uncle Li can Foundation Establishment soon and bring glory to our family. At that time, we will not need white walls and black tiles, and the Chongming Sect will have its own splendor.

He Wanying never imagined that after her father's death, her mediocre senior brother Kang Dabao would not only be able to raise his two junior brothers Jiang Qing and Yuan Jin, but would actually achieve Foundation Establishment and reclaim the title of the first sect in Pingrong and place it on the Chongming Sect.

It's worth mentioning that Sect Leader Kang Da has only been in charge of the sect for twenty or thirty years, yet he already has two Foundation Establishment alive. This is something that the previous six generations of sect leaders of the Chongming Sect had not accomplished.

This cannot be described simply as a restoration or revival; it is almost worthy of being called a creator.

"No wonder Father said back then that Senior Brother was a hidden talent, and Martial Uncle Li couldn't compare." He Wanying sighed, pulled her husband who was sweating slightly beside her, and followed Kang Rongquan, who was leading the way with a suspicious look on his face, toward the sect's main hall.

The youngest grandson of the Sect Leader Kang Da was still trying to figure out when this "great-aunt" had suddenly appeared in his life.

But the young woman's expression seemed genuine; not only did she speak with reason and conviction, but she also held an old-fashioned Double Brightness disciple's waist token in her hand.

Kang Rongquan had seen this brand before; only his four elders—Kang, Pei, Yuan, and Jiang—were still using it, so he was already seven or eight parts convinced of its authenticity.

As Kang Rongquan had predicted, after the message was sent, Uncle Yuan, who was temporarily in charge of clan affairs, insisted on personally leading the way inside.

Along the way, Kang Rongquan encountered many fellow disciples, and they all showed curiosity when they saw the couple following behind him.

Even if someone were to ask such a question, they wouldn't do so in front of outsiders, which saved Kang Rongquan the trouble of explaining.

With one less person at the archway, leaving only Ye Pingshui on duty, Kang Rongquan led He Wanying and her husband outside the council hall. Not wanting to linger any longer, he performed the ceremonial bow and turned to leave.

A hint of unease flickered in He Wanying's eyes, but she still pulled her husband up the steps.

Born and raised here, she has been away from home for so long, only returning once twenty years ago. In the years since, she has thought about coming back, but when she thinks about what she has done, she has no face to return.

After all, for the only daughter of the sect leader to elope with a Qi Refinement cultivator is, no matter how you look at it, extremely undignified.

Only Yuan Jin and Pei Yi were present in the council hall. Yuan Jin, his face as cold as frost, sat on the main seat like a frozen block of ice. He did not utter a word when he saw He Wanying enter.

Pei Yi's appearance was better. He Wanying used to cultivate under the tutelage of Martial Uncle Li, but although she couldn't stand Martial Uncle Li's strict teaching style, she didn't receive much instruction.

Pei Yi and He Wanying may not have a deep friendship, but in reality, they are true brother and sister.

As the first disciple of Martial Uncle Li's lineage, Pei Yi naturally had to come out to see He Wanying had returned.

"Junior Brother Yuan, Senior Brother Pei, I'm back!" He Wanying with tears in her eyes, giving a graceful curtsy.

"It's good to be back. You must be tired from being away from home." Seeing that Yuan Jin hadn't spoken for a while, Pei Yi thought for a moment and then said comfortingly, "Please sit down."

He Wanying and her husband thanked him and were about to sit down when Yuan Jin's gaze sharpened. His words, once spoken, seemed to carry the chilling force of a drawn sword, sharp and intimidating.

"If you dare to take another step, believe me, I'll smash you into mincemeat right here and now!"

The atmosphere instantly turned chillingly cold, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on He Wanying's handsome face. He Wanying glared at him, raised her head, and her previous timid demeanor seemed to vanish in an instant.

He simply sneered at Yuan Jin, "Jin brat!"

"His name is Yuan Jin!"

"You bastard, who do you think you are, calling yourself 'sir'?!"

Yuan Jin was He Wanying's outburst that he choked and couldn't speak, his jaw clenched and his face turning ashen.

"He Wanying, how dare you come back?!"

"My father is the head of the Double Brightness, I am He Household, and I am your senior sister, Jin boy! Why can't I come back!" The young woman pulled her husband down to sit, facing Yuan Jin with a murderous look that showed no sign of backing down!

"You... you shameless!" Yuan Jin's eyes widened as if he wanted to devour her. It wasn't that he couldn't utter the harsh words, but insulting her elders or his own master was something he couldn't bring himself to do.

"Where is Senior Brother Kang?! He didn't even send me an invitation to his new marriage, and he didn't send anyone to inform me after Foundation Establishment. This isn't how my father raised him. Now that he's successful, he looks down on his poor relatives! Is this how the leader of Double Brightness Sect should behave?"

Seeing that Yuan Jin was speechless, He Wanying became increasingly aggressive.

She was a fiery person at home. Apart from her senior brother Kang Dabao, whom she couldn't control, all her junior brothers were raised by her with the help of the old sect leader's wife.

Despite Yuan Jin's threats of violence, He Wanying didn't believe he would dare to lay a hand on her.

Her handsome husband tried to intervene, but Yuan Jin, who was seething with anger, turned around and berated him.

"Be polite, this is your brother-in-law. Is this how your father taught you to disrespect your elders?"

"Who does she think she is?" Yuan Jin started cursing, but was stopped by the young woman's glare.

"Fine, fine! You're quite something! You'll stay in the Ancestral Hall and watch over Master's ancestral tablet! Let's see if your black heart can withstand this torture. If I can't deal with you, then wait until your senior brother returns, and you'll see!"

"Senior Brother!!" He Wanying burst into tears as soon as she saw Sect Leader Kang Da and Jiang Qing return together.

Kang Dabao's gaze remained unwavering. He dismissed Chu Huer and his disciples, who all returned to their posts. With a sigh, he led Jiang Qing into the Ancestral Hall.

After the two entered, the vermilion gate closed, and the glass lamps inside the hall lit up one by one.

At this moment, only Yuan Jin and Pei Yi, who had come upon hearing the news, were guarding He Wanying and her husband; one was upright and composed, while the other was carefree and lost in thought.

When Jiang Qing saw He Wanying return, her face immediately lit up with joy. She called out "Senior Sister" and was about to help her up when Yuan Jin sternly stopped her. Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and the smile on her face gradually froze. She remained silent.

"Little Qingzi, you're already Foundation Establishment True Cultivator! You're doing great! Your senior sister is useless; I haven't been able to stay with you for long, and you've been wronged." He Wanying's face showed a smile that was completely genuine.

Jiang Qing's expression softened slightly as he looked at his three senior brothers in the hall, but ultimately remained silent.

"Alright! Your tears are almost thirty years too late! Senior brother is back too, so tell me, what brings you back this time?!" Yuan Jin finally spoke, asking in a deep voice.

"You're not the sect leader, why should I tell you? I'll wait for my senior brother to ask first," He Wanying retorted without backing down.

"He Wanying!" Yuan Jin slammed his fist on the spirit table beside him, breaking it in anger. He stood up to hit her, but Jiang Qing stopped him tightly. "Second Senior Brother, you can't hit her!"

Yuan Jin was even angrier upon hearing this. His eyes reddened, and he slapped Jiang Qing Jiang Qing, a dignified Foundation Establishment, not only dared not dodge but was also scolded by Yuan Jin:

"You blockhead, you're still holding a grudge about just a few extra fruits you ate when you were little. Last time that woman came back, she ran off with the ten-zhang-long piece of yellow spirit wood that our senior brother had worked his ass off for years! Have you forgotten that?!"

The eldest brother negotiated with You Er for almost half a year to reach a price, but she ran off with the yellow spirit wood. Not only can you not forge the flying sword, but you also have to compensate You Er with Spirit Stone!

The eldest disciple was so angry that she knelt before Master's spirit tablet for two days! Her conscience must have been eaten by dogs to do such a disgraceful thing!

"Come, come, Xiao Qingzi, let him go, let him hit, let him beat his senior sister, his master's only daughter, to death right here." He Wanying's crying became even louder when she saw this.

Yuan Jin became even more enraged, violently breaking free from Jiang Qing. The latter was caught off guard and dared not use her magic. Just as Yuan Jin raised his fist and was about to walk a few steps in front of He Wanying's husband stepped forward to protect her and said, "Brother Yuan, please listen to me."

"What kind of dog are you! Get out of here!" The man looked ashamed and dared not fight back, letting Yuan Jin throw him away like a kite.

With tears in her eyes, He Wanying tried to help her husband, but Yuan Jin grabbed her and pulled her to face his fist, which was as big as a bowl.

She panicked. Jiang Qing hadn't expected Yuan Jin to be so furious. If that punch landed, it might crack He Wanying's head off!

But it was too late for him to act, and he was filled with regret.

"Junior Brother Yuan, you mustn't!" Pei Yi, who had been sitting upright and not speaking, panicked. He regretted coming. This was originally a matter for Senior Martial Uncle He's family. Why did he, as the nominal senior brother, have to get involved?

It's all over, it's all over.

"Bang!" A violent fist slammed into the hard gold bar stone that had just been engraved with the restriction. Jiang Qing's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled. He quickly helped the woman, who had collapsed to the ground in fright.

With a "crack," Pei Yi saw Yuan Jin's face flushed red. He pushed He Wanying aside, turned his back, and spat out a broken tooth.

"Junior brother... Junior brother, do you really hate me so much?" He Wanying was helped to a seat by Jiang Qing, and then begged him to go see her husband.

"I wish I could chew you up and spit you out! You have no shame, leaving us brothers here to be laughed at by outsiders! We've endured so many scornful looks to save up some spiritual treasures, which we wouldn't even use ourselves, yet you stole them to support a man."

You shamelessly took a concubine's child, and for years the people of Pingrong County have laughed at you! And you're still so proud of it, guarding it like a treasure! He Wanying! You may not care about your master's reputation in this life, but we, your fellow disciples, certainly do!

After finishing his tirade, Yuan Jin slammed his fist on the ground and said hatefully, "Fine, fine, fine! You dare to come back even though you're courting death! Since you wanted to wait for your senior brother to return, he's already back! Just wait and see if he'll skin you alive! You'll see!"

He Wanying threw herself on the ground and started crying again, her sobs adding a touch of desolation to the Chongming Sect.

Kang Dabao hadn't uttered a single word since entering the sect. Even when Yuan Jin was pounding the ground, he didn't glance at him. He simply walked to the Sect Leader He and respectfully lit incense.

Before the ancestral tablet, there was a cup of jade clam Essence Blood, which had now dissipated and solidified into a paste.

Sect Leader Kang Da added a few drops of essence into the cup, flicked his fingers to create fire, and the blood ointment slowly burned in the cup until the fragrance gradually filled the room before Kang Dabao turned around.

He didn't even glance at He Wanying, who was crying so hard she was almost fainting, and walked straight towards Yuan Jin.

The latter lowered his head as soon as he was stared at, then felt a chill on his back. After a crisp sound, Sect Leader Kang Da withdrew the ruler, letting streams of blood flow down Yuan Jin's back. The pain completely extinguished Yuan Jin's arrogance, who had just been about to beat and kill him.

"If you're going to put on an act, then do it convincingly! This spirit table is something I moved from the Five Aspects Sect's Ancestral Hall. What are you doing banging on it, you blockhead! The Spirit Stone will be deducted from your annual salary!"

With a "crack," the ruler, made of material comparable to a high-grade Law Artifact, snapped in two. Jiang Qing groaned as his flesh tore open, and at the same time, the cold snort of Sect Leader Kang Da reached his ears:

"And you too, what kind of crookedly claiming to be the top Foundation Establishment of the Chongming Sect, what kind of sword cultivator? You've wasted your time! You can't even stop a Qi Refinement?"

Upon seeing this, He Wanying, who was wailing, trembled, and her crying suddenly weakened.

Pei Yi finally saw it clearly, and inwardly complained for a while, exclaiming that he couldn't blame them for being true brothers.

"At least you didn't die out there." Sect Leader Kang Da, holding half a ruler, walked up to He Wanying and asked in a deep voice, "Have you had enough of your tantrum?"

He Wanying sobbed without answering. Kang Dabao sat back down and asked slowly, "Why is even that old Desolate Ox gone? It had been with Master for many years. Was it sold?"

"I couldn't bear to part with it, but it died of illness before the New Year and I couldn't afford the medicine," He Wanying replied, slumped on the ground, sobbing.

"You silly girl, you're neither like your master's wife nor your master, you have no intelligence whatsoever." Kang Dabao scolded softly, then glanced sideways at He Wanying's husband's handsome face, and said softly:

"Not to mention that you squandered half of your master's fortune, or even if you ate, used, or played with it, that's what your master left you, and no one can criticize him for it."

My master has given me a second life; you can steal from me or rob me without my permission! But of all the Spirit Stone you have, how many Spirit Stone you used for yourself?

"Smack!"

Kang Dabao finally couldn't hold back and smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground, shattering it into pieces. He Wanying stopped crying, her almond-shaped eyes reddened, and she looked up at the person in the head seat.

No wonder even the elders of the He Household family call you a money-loser!

"Senior brother!" He Wanying eyes. Her husband, unable to bear it any longer, knelt down as well.

"Sect Leader Kang, all the mistakes are Feng Wan's fault. Please don't blame Wanying." Feng Wan's handsome face was dull and lifeless, full of dejection.

"Do you think I don't want to skin you alive?" Kang Dabao's tone was icy, his gaze chilling.

"Senior brother! Senior brother! Please, for the sake of my parents, I beg you, I beg you!" The young woman crawled over on her knees, wrapped her arms around Kang Dabao's legs, and said pitifully.

"Third, take your senior sister and the others downstairs." Kang Dabao impatiently broke free and turned his head away, unable to bear seeing He Wanying like this.

As her master's most beloved daughter, she shouldn't be like this; love has ruined her.

"Tell me what happened." Pei Yi and Jiang Qing pulled He Wanying and her husband off the stage, Kang Dabao looked at Yuan Jin and asked.

"I don't know. After she came back, all she did was cry; she couldn't utter a single word," Yuan Jin said with a dark face.

"Stop talking nonsense! You were her closest friend back then, how could you resist asking! Tell me!" Sect Leader Kang Da on the table, and another piece of furniture brought from the Five Aspects Sect was missing. Kang Dabao felt a little heartache, so he naturally put the Spirit Stone on Yuan Jin's name again.

Yuan Jin sighed with a sour face before speaking, "Back then, she took the Storage Bag left to her by her master and went to find Feng Wan. The two of them rented a shop in Jingnan Prefecture."

Her talisman-making skills were not up to par, business was bad, she couldn't even earn rent, and it also delayed her cultivation. Several years passed like this, and she lived off her savings until they were almost gone, which forced Feng Wan to work harder.

This bastard only has the aptitude of Five Spirit Roots, and after all these years of Qi Refinement Fourth Layer of Qi Refining, yet he still has the guts to hunt Demon Beast.

On their first trip into the mountains, they returned empty-handed and unharmed, but along the way they found a Storage Bag and a few dozen Spirit Stone. However, before the couple could even rejoice, someone followed them by the scent.

At this point in Yuan Jin's speech, Kang Dabao's eyes already understood.

"Who's trying to extort them?"

"It's a Qi Refinement sect with several leaders and elders at the Late Qi Refinement stage. The Storage Bag was set up by their underlings. It's said that the original owner was one of their stewards, who was murdered the day before Feng Wan picked up the Storage Bag, and the Storage Bag disappeared without a trace."

"What a coincidence?!" Kang Dabao sneered.

"Who knows if this deacon ever existed?" Yuan Jin shook his head. It was just a simple trick that villains often used to extort Rogue Cultivator; it was commonplace and nothing surprising.

Then he said, "This way you can't get rid of her. She hasn't had a good life these past few years. The last time she came back to steal spiritual items was because Feng Wan was in a bad mood and needed Spirit Stone to save her life."

"She's so stupid, she doesn't even know to follow us." Kang Dabao was about to scold her when he sighed.

He Wanying wasn't stupid; she had already anticipated that if she truly knew the truth, she wouldn't let her go back, and her husband would be left unattended.

"So how did you shake them off this time?" Kang Dabao asked again.

"They couldn't shake them off. The two of them had taken the antidote beforehand, and used the Spirit-Confounding Incense left by their master, mixed with some Blood-Dousing Powder, and lit it to knock out the guards who had escaped."

"There are at least one or two groups of people chasing them, and there are other troubles as well," Yuan Jin said in a deep voice. Kang Dabao frowned upon hearing this.

---- External Affairs Hall of the Black Sand Peak of the Two Instruments Sect,

Song Xueqiao scrutinized Chen Ye for a long time before speaking, "Junior Brother Chen, yesterday the Peak Master already decided on your assignment, which is to go to the Feng Prefecture Ge Household as a retainer."

Chen Ye hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Junior brother will go and bid farewell to Master immediately, and set off for Feng Prefecture."

"Sigh, no rush." Song Xueqiao stopped Chen Ye with a gesture and said calmly, "We're not going to Feng Prefecture, but to White Sand County in Jingnan Prefecture, to be neighbors with your old neighbor again."

"An old neighbor? Feng Qian means Chongming Sect?" Chen Ye pondered for a long time, then realized that it wasn't hard to guess.

"Yes, once the Feng Prefecture Ge Household is ready, their entire clan will be relocating to White Sand County in Jingnan Prefecture with you." Song Xueqiao continued, "Not only the Feng Prefecture Ge Household, but also the True Spirit Gate and the Chang County Lin Household will be going to White Sand County."

"These three Foundation Establishment forces have all gone to White Sand County?" Chen Ye was slightly surprised, but then he thought about it. After all, his master, Jiang Yuan, the leader of Black Sand Peak, had just been appointed to oversee a prefecture in Jingnan, an honor that many veteran leaders could not obtain.

They had to make some big moves to show the elders and sect leaders above them, just to give themselves an explanation.

Jiang Qing had already offended the leader of the Two Instruments Sect beforehand, and now the Chongming Sect has dared to go to the border of Cloud Horn Prefecture, a place adjacent to the Hongyi Sect of Ding Prefecture, to stir up trouble.

Seeing that the state court's horse-like nature was turning into a true fine steed, in Jiang Yuan's eyes, there was no force weaker or easier to achieve merit Chongming Sect.

It's beneficial without costing anything, so why not do it?

"Another Foundation Establishment has died in the Feng Prefecture Ge Household, so they can no longer occupy that Second-Tier Upper-Grade spiritual land."

Of the three families in the Clear Cloud Alliance, Auspicious Brocade Gate was completely destroyed and its lineage was severed; True Spirit Gate and the Chang County Lin Household each lost two or three Foundation Establishment, and were forced by Kuang Liuting to lose all the spiritual lands in Cloud Horn Prefecture. Now they can only live as guests in several friendly forces in Jingnan Prefecture.

The sect, being benevolent, allocated a sacred land in White Sand County for the three families to settle down. They were to become one family, establishing their own sect. The sect's name had already been chosen: 'Changning'.

Song Xueqiao paused here, then said softly, "The three families haven't decided on the position of sect leader of the Changning Sect yet. According to Fengzheng, once Junior Brother has established himself, he can give it a try. Anyway, Junior Brother is used to it, so it shouldn't be difficult for him."

Chen Ye pondered for a long while before bowing and saying, "Please enlighten me, Feng Qian."

Song Xueqiao chuckled softly, "It's quite simple. Kuang Liuting can bring this Chongming Sect back to the ranks of Foundation Establishment sects, so our Black Sand Peak will just knock it back down. Speaking of which, Zhang Yuandao's sect has been established for over two hundred years; that's quite a long time."

After saying this, Song Xueqiao turned her gaze to the tea in the cup and gently blew away the foam on top of it.

"There's no rush, junior brother, take your time. The higher he climbs, the louder he'll fall."
