NovelEnglishGuided by the moonlight, Ji Fengyan found her way home. Her mind had yet to recover from the earlier frustrations. Just as she entered the front door, Linghe rushed over to welcome her, blocking her progress.
“My Mistress! You have finally returned.” Linghe gave a low shout the moment he saw Ji Fengyan, his mood seeming rather gloomy.
He did not understand what’s the matter with Mistress these few days. Running out frequently for no clear reason, while remaining secretive as to her whereabouts.
Ji Fengyan looked at the depressed-looking Linghe and raised her brow. “What’s the matter?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Someone from the Ji family is here.” Linghe replied in a small voice.
“Who is here?” Ji Fengyan asked casually.
Since she moved out of the Ji family residence, she has had a rare few days of leisure. Ji He and Ji Qiu were in a frenzy trying to handle their own problematic family affairs and had no time at all to stir trouble with her. She had considered her dealings with the Ji family completely done and dusted. But now it seems… she was really too naïve.
Linghe looked slightly taken back. He hesitated before continuing. “It’s the Ji family’s Eldest Mistress who had arrived not too long ago… Yichen opened the door and didn’t ask much. Hearing that she was looking for you, he just let her in. She is now sitting in the big hall.”
The Ji family’s Eldest Mistress?
Ji Fengyan’s brows twitched. Without another word, she marched straight into the hall.
Inside, Zuo Nuo and some others were already standing guard.
Meanwhile, the hall contained another slender-looking figure.
An elegant lady dressed in dark green finery sat upon a chair. A snow-white leopard laid by her feet… that leopard possessed a pair of deep blue eyes. It had settled quietly by the lady’s side, obedient as a cat. Only glimpses of its razor-sharp claws peeking through its white fur revealed its hidden ferocity.
Ji Fengyan raised her eyes to look at the lady sitting in the hall. If she was not wrong, this must be Ji Linglong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJi Linglong was not as beautiful as Ji Qingshang. She was 20 years of age and the most senior among the Ji family’s younger generation. The eldest daughter of Ji Qiu and the older half-sister of Ji Mubai. Possessing a weak physique since a young age, she traveled frequently with her mother to various places seeking medical treatment. As a result, Ji Linglong was seldom present at the Ji family residence, and Ji Fengyan had only met her by chance about twice in her former life.
In contrast to the direct, aggressive beauty of Ji Qingshang, Ji Linglong’s loveliness was softer and more soothing. Despite her young age, her elegant bearing had a calming effect on others, even just sitting quietly at the side.
Looking at Ji Linglong, Ji Fengyan involuntarily thought of the Lei family’s Lei Qin who gave off an image of extreme capability . At first glance, Lei Qin seemed to exude the same feeling as Ji Linglong did, but somehow still lacking something.
Ji Fengyan did not have much of an impression of Ji Linglong and naturally did not understand why she had come. She casually sat down on a nearby chair and smiled easily at Ji Linglong.
Sizing each other up, surprise flashed across Ji Linglong’s eyes when she saw Ji Fengyan’s grin, but she recovered quickly.
“Ninth sister.” Ji Linglong said mildly as she looked at Ji Fengyan.
Her placid tone, devoid of any forced affection, had the effect of making one feel less defensive.
“Eldest sister, I wonder what matters brought you here today?” Ji Fengyan continued smiling.
Ji Linglong eyed Ji Fengyan with a complex expression on her face. Nevertheless, she quickly stated the reason for her visit.
