Because he hadn't returned for so long, Ji Yuan decided to first head back to Chulong Island this time.
He was worried that if he didn't come back for such a long time, the sect might think he was gone for good and assign his Cave Mansion to other senior or junior sisters. It would be quite the joke if he returned to find it occupied.
Official disciples have their Life Lamps lit in the Ancestral Hall.
As long as the Life Lamp is not extinguished, the person is still alive.
By the time Ji Yuan returned to Chulong Island from Mist Island, it was already evening. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard a door opening from the neighboring house.
Moreover, two people came out simultaneously from left and right.
One was the greatly contradictory child, Tang Ran, and the other was the old man, Pi Fangzhi.
Upon seeing Ji Yuan just as he was about to enter, both of them seemed rather surprised.
"Brother Ji, you're actually still alive... ahem, you've finally returned."
