After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 618

The weather was beautiful today; the entire Tianqian Sect was bathed in warm sunlight. A gentle spring breeze stirred the scattered spiritual flowers along the stream, and a myriad of dazzling neon lights wove a dreamlike, magnificent floral spectacle in the sky.

Even the snow-covered Jianfeng Peak was exceptionally sunny today, with warm sunlight shining on the white snow, making it sparkle and translucent.

Jiang Liqian walked out of the meditation room, took a long breath of relief at the sky, and then walked towards the training ground.

I just taught my junior brothers and sisters the basic sword techniques yesterday, and today I need to test their progress and see if they slacked off last night. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; there's no room for complacency.

As soon as I stepped into the training ground, there were already junior brothers and sisters practicing their swordsmanship.

"No, this doesn't feel right at all. Hey, are you even capable? This move doesn't seem to work like this. Should we lift it higher?"

"How could that be? It should go further down. I remember clearly yesterday when Senior Sister demonstrated, the tip of the sword almost touched the ground. As the saying goes, a small error can lead to a huge difference, which is why you felt something was wrong!"

"Really? Really? You're not lying to me..."

"Of course it's true..."

"Wrong!" A clear, gentle voice rang out from behind the two. The two, who were discussing and gesturing, were startled and turned around to look at the person who had come.

"Sister!"

"Sister!"

Jiang Liqian gently tapped each of their heads: "I remember when I demonstrated this move yesterday, I specifically reminded you that this move is not about being an amateur, but about having smooth energy flow. The height is not important. What is important is that at the right height, spiritual energy can burst forth without being hindered."

"Were you two daydreaming? Didn't you hear either of you?"

The two disciples immediately lowered their heads in shame, one scratching his head and the other touching his face.

Seeing that they had taken her words to heart, Jiang Liqian wasn't too serious. She told them to quickly go back to their sword practice and to ask questions if they had any. In swordsmanship, the worst thing you can do is practice without understanding, as this can cause harm to your body.

"Senior Sister!" Just then, someone waved and ran towards them from afar. Jiang Liqian looked closely and saw it was her beloved, trusted, and proud second junior brother, Xuan Ling.

This precious junior brother is the only one who can learn a sword move quickly after she demonstrates it once, almost without her having to put in any effort.

Hmm—it's a really useful "teaching tool," which helps alleviate some of the pressure on her teaching junior students.

"Second Junior Brother, did you also come early to watch your junior brothers and sisters practice swordsmanship?" Jiang Li raised an eyebrow, her eyes revealing a clear meaning.

Xuan Ling paused in her steps, her lips twitching.

"Senior Sister, it's Master's order. Patriarch Jiang is here to see you. He said your mother's birthday is in three days, and he wants to take you home for a few days." He paused, then grumbled, "Senior Sister, I'm your junior brother. Is it right for you to be so 'eager' to pressure me?"

Jiang Liqian didn't care about that.

Aren't junior brothers just there to be "oppressed"?

"Xuan Ling, watch them practice their swordsmanship. If anyone slacks off, hmph, get me a whip and give them a good thrashing, understand? Anyone who hasn't arrived by 3:45 AM, give them a good whipping too!"

Xuan Ling's face turned green.

So he's going to play the role of a ruthless "villain"? This is how his good reputation is being ruined!

"Senior Sister!" he said, displeased.

Then Jiang Liqian waved her hand and transformed into a stream of light, heading towards the main hall.

She hadn't seen her father for a long time. Although her father was always strict, the bond of blood was hard to sever, even for cultivators.

Upon entering the main hall, she first bowed to Qingzhi, who sat in the main seat, saying, "Master." Then she faced Jiang Sheng, who sat in the second seat, and bowed again, saying, "Greetings, Father."

Qingzhi nodded and said, "Your father came to ask you to come back for a short stay. Pack your things and go home with your father."

Jiang Liqian bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Master."

After Qingzhi left, only Jiang Sheng and Jiang Liqian remained in the main hall.

Jiang Liqian carefully and discreetly straightened her clothes, then quickly walked up to Jiang Sheng and bowed her head again to ask, "Father, is everything alright at home?"

Jiang Sheng looked at her with admiration and satisfaction, and nodded, saying, "Everything is fine. It's just that your mother misses you very much, but she was afraid of interfering with your cultivation, so she refrained from coming to see you. It's a good opportunity for you to go back and visit her this time on your birthday."

"Father, has my elder brother already gone back ahead of us?"

“He’s waiting for you at the sect’s gate. You’re siblings, so naturally you should go back together.”

Jiang Liqian's eyes lit up, and she immediately set off with Jiang Sheng, leaving Tianqian Sect and heading home.

Upon arriving at the sect's entrance, they indeed saw a young man dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit standing beside the ancestral master's stone tablet, whispering something to the gatekeeper. When he caught sight of Jiang Liqian and Jiang Sheng out of the corner of his eye, his expression changed, and he quickly walked over.

"Father, little sister."

With many sect missions, even though they were in the same sect, they weren't on the same peak, so it was difficult for Jiang Liqian to see Jiang Junze. Now that she finally saw him, she was overjoyed and couldn't help but run over to him.

Then, he restrained himself and stopped.

"Brother!"

Jiang Junze's gaze softened, and he half-squatted down, gently patting her head: "Get in the car, let's go home."

Jiang Liqian said indignantly, "Brother, I've told you so many times. I'm the senior sister of the sect now. I can't let anyone touch my head. I have to have dignity!" She puffed out her chest and straightened her face.

Her appearance made Jiang Junze chuckle. His usually expressionless face broke into a warm and bright smile.

"Yes, Miss."

Jiang Liqian laughed out loud, turned around and invited her father to get into the carriage first, then she followed him in. Jiang Junze was the last to get into the carriage, and the servant in charge of driving raised his spirit whip high.

"drive!"

The Five Spirit Ice Soul Horse neighed and strode into the sky.

"Madam, the Second Miss and the Young Master have returned!"

"Madam! Madam!"

The door opened, and a woman, impeccably made up and adorned with jewels, emerged, surrounded by her maids. She walked briskly, her face full of surprise: "Really? Qian'er and Ze'er are back? Where are they?"

"Just arrived at the front hall, Madam."

"Okay, take me to see them quickly."

Ruthless rushed to the front hall and immediately saw the slender figure standing by the table and chairs. Her eyes reddened, and she disregarded her status and dignity, running over and hugging her long-lost daughter tightly.

"Qian'er!"

Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why, but even though it should be the embrace of the closest person, she vaguely felt that the embrace of her mother in her heart was not separated by such cold and smooth fabric.

But why would someone have this misconception?
