CHAPTER 319: CHAPTER 274

"What are your thoughts revisiting this place?" Ji Feng caught up and asked, the two of them shoulder to shoulder moving forward.

Lan Tian suddenly stopped, her expression solemn, she turned her head to look at Ji Feng. Ji Feng was intimidated by her intense gaze, and slowly retracted his smile, only to hear Lan Tian say two words, "Guess." Then she walked away.

Because you’re still alive, that’s great.

Ji Feng was utterly confused, the atmosphere turned so serious, he thought Lan Tian would say something grave, which made his heart thump rapidly.

"What do you mean? Clarify it." Ji Feng caught up and walked beside her, shoulder to shoulder, then suddenly bumped Lan Tian’s shoulder, "Hey, explain yourself, who talks halfway like that? Just say guess what it means, it would’ve been better if you’d directly said whether it’s good or bad, how would I know what you’re thinking."

The following party, led by Mr. Jiao, was astonished by this scene. Everyone knew of the temper of the Crown Prince of the Ji Family, known to be capricious and stern, not one to easily approach.

But their interaction didn’t seem like that at all!

Mr. Jiao turned to the person beside him and asked, "Who is that girl?"

She looked unfamiliar, seemingly someone he hadn’t met before, she didn’t seem to belong to any family he knew—could she be someone who came back from abroad?

Someone came over to explain to him, "That girl is Old Mo’s granddaughter, she came over from Shanghai a few days ago, seems to know some medicine. It’s odd though, she didn’t go to medical school, but chose to study at Jing University. I heard she picked the archaeology department, God knows what Old Mo thinks."

The tone carried a slight schadenfreude. After saying that, the person was also deep in thought, puzzled by Miss Ling’s unusual choice. Why wouldn’t she study medicine? Maybe it’s her rebellious phase?

"Old Mo brought her here probably to broaden her horizons, and possibly to pave a way for his granddaughter. It’s a rare scene to witness in a lifetime. How she knows the Crown Prince, nobody knows, before acknowledging kinship with Old Mo, the girl grew up in the countryside, it’s unlikely they knew each other long ago. It is said that just a couple of days ago, the Crown Prince visited Old Mo’s residence, that might have been when they met." The implication was that she benefited from Old Mo’s influence, otherwise how would the Crown Prince know a country girl.

Mr. Jiao pondered for a moment and then said, "Let’s go!"

The group led by Lan Tian approached the entrance of the hall, hearing the hearty laughter inside, Old Sir Mo’s mood suddenly improved, he walked in, even in the mood to joke around, "What are you guys talking about that’s so cheerful? I want to hear too."

"Here they are."

In the hall, there were several elder gentlemen, all with kind and peaceful faces, full of spirit, speaking casually and approachably, not at all like the rulers of Dragon Country, but rather like ordinary elderly in a family.

The elder speaking to Old Mo was seated at the head, smiling about something, causing the other elders to also carry smiles. Besides the elders, there were a few young people sitting inside, around their twenties, one woman and two men, the woman beautiful and the men handsome.

Seeing Old Sir Mo’s group enter, the chief elder joked, "Just talking about when you’d show up? Dilly-dallying and dragging your feet, not at all like the fiery buffalo you used to be."

The other elders also teasingly chided Old Mr. Mo.

"I’m old," Mr. Mo waved his hand, "Old arms and legs, can’t compare to the young days, can’t withstand the hassle, just this bit of road almost did me in, another round like this and I couldn’t handle it. A few troublesome youngsters at home, not watching them closely they’d mess everything up, wasn’t it just time to meet old friends."

Old Mr. Mo went to sit by the elders, Wu Hongfei accompanied him, and Lan Tian naturally followed along.

Wu Hongfei, having seen the elders since childhood, stepped forward to greet them, Lan Tian nodded slightly as a greeting, neither servile nor haughty, perfectly at ease.

These gentlemen were familiar faces to Lan Tian; she had often seen them on TV in her previous life. However, she had never seen the elderly man sitting at the head before, could it be...

"Grandpa," Ji Feng walked up to the elderly man sitting at the head and sat down next to him, "You look well today."

"You little rascal, you’ve had enough fun outside and decided to come back, haven’t you?" Mr. Ji scolded mouthily, but everyone could see the indulgence in his eyes.

Ji Feng was raised by Grandpa Ji himself. The bond between the grandfather and grandson was profound. Calling him a grandson was more like raising a late-life child, Ji Feng’s quirky temperament was mostly indulged by him.

A few elderly men glanced at Old Mo, their eyes swept past Lan Tian momentarily, thinking the young lady’s looks were too stunning, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing. Luckily, being born into such a family could protect her.

Lan Tian sat quietly next to Mr. Mo, letting the elderly men size her up. Her gaze skimmed over the three young people across from her, picking out a girl, Lan Tian narrowed her eyes.

Cultivator, third-tier Qi Cultivation.

Lan Tian was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and her Divine Sense of the heart had reached the Golden Core Stage, enabling her to discern the realms of Cultivators one major realm higher than hers. In the Foundation Establishment Stage, one can only make out the early stages of another’s Golden Core; anything higher is indiscernible. Needless to mention those with cultivations lower than hers.

Perhaps because she cultivated the Mixed Element Technique, when not using Spiritual Energy, Lan Tian appeared just like a mortal. Those under the Divinity Transformation Stage could not discern her identity as a Cultivator.

Naturally, the girl opposite could not make out Lan Tian’s status as a Cultivator; her gaze swept past Lan Tian, then drifted away faintly, seemingly ignoring Lan Tian’s exceptionally brilliant appearance.

The two young men, upon seeing Lan Tian’s stunning appearance and her cold aura, revealed astonished admiration, their eyes involuntarily glancing her way.

The elderly men nodded with a smiling approval at how Lan Tian calmly faced them, which was quite impressive.

"Old Mo, this young lady is your granddaughter, isn’t she? Quite remarkable," Mr. Ji nodded.

"Remarkable? She’s headstrong and has a bad temper; no one at home can manage her," Mr. Mo complained, his face beaming proudly despite his words.

"Girl, come here," Mr. Mo beckoned to Lan Tian, who walked past Wu Hongfei to Mr. Mo’s side.

"These are some of Grandpa’s old comrades, this is Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Ji."

Lan Tian naturally went along, greeting each, "Hello Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Yang, Grandpa Ji."

"Very good," praised Mr. Ji, smiling, "This composure of hers somewhat resembles Old Mo’s back in the day. What’s this young girl’s name?"

Old Sir Ye and Mr. Yang also praised Lan Tian considerably, "Blue outshines Indigo," which made Mr. Mo’s old face crinkle like a blooming chrysanthemum with smiles.

"Lan Tian," Lan Tian spoke succinctly.

"Old Mo told me you transferred to Jing University, it’s good for a young lady to be ambitious. Jing University is good, but it doesn’t match your major. Why not go to the Medical University?" Mr. Ji’s tone was mild and casual, like an ordinary grandpa speaking to a younger generation, which made it unobjectionable.

"I wanted to experience a change of environment."
