The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 12: Meeting Gao Shan in Xifu (Part )
This was also the purpose of his coming to the West Palace. In his previous life, he wanted to meet this young man who had been born into hardship but had never lost his kindness...

Now that I have the chance, I naturally want to meet him!
……

Led by Ji Yichuan, they left the mansion and the two men and a big snow-white dog stopped in front of an elegant courtyard not far away.

Ji Yichuan slowly opened the small wooden door, allowing the two people and the dog to see the entire yard.

The small courtyard was kept extremely clean. In the southeast of the courtyard grew a large patch of extremely lush bamboo, with the bamboo joints as emerald green as jade.

The bamboo leaves are straight and slender, like handleless flying swords, hanging obliquely on the jade.

"This clump should be sword bamboo. I didn't expect to see it here." As soon as Ji Xiaoshan entered the yard, his mind was completely attracted by the bamboo. He sighed and showed a very satisfied look.

"Yes, the sword bamboo in this yard was planted by me when I was young." Ji Yichuan was also looking at the clump of bamboo.

"It seems that you also love bamboo, so just take a good rest here." Ji Yichuan said with a smile, and then left with the big dog with snow-white fur.

……

Ji Xiaoshan then settled down in the Ji family's west mansion.

He lived a very leisurely life every day. When it was time to eat, he would slowly walk to Ji Yichuan's yard, have meals with Ji Yichuan and his wife, and enjoy the various delicacies of Xifu.

Every day, they ate the soft pancakes with a large pot of fragrant meat, which was very comfortable. Ji Yichuan and his wife were also very satisfied, and both the host and the guests were very happy.

In his spare time, he also sent messages to Ji Liuzhen, telling him about the people and things he encountered in Xifu, and also telling him about the drinking appointment he had accepted on behalf of Ji Liuzhen.

The rest of the time, he kept bamboo as his companion.

Next to the bamboo forest, Ji Xiaoshan picked up the long sword in his hand and reviewed the sword techniques he had learned in the past, starting from the most basic ones.

On the first day, he used the most basic chopping technique, and rich energy from heaven and earth rushed into it, transforming into a brilliant sword energy that almost destroyed the bamboo forest.

He felt the subtlety of the first sword, contracted his energy, and controlled the energy of heaven and earth mobilized by the sword move in minute detail.

On the second day, worried about the sword bamboo forest in the southeast corner, he restrained himself and danced the sword with the only physical strength he had. The long sword was danced out with a gorgeous sword shadow. The bamboo forest remained the same, only the sword bamboos were swaying and the bamboo leaves were flying.

Ji Xiaoshan always controlled it deliberately, restraining each move on the sword. The light blue sword was covered with a thin layer of sword light.

Each sword move is broken down into its own style, and each style is broken down into the most basic points, cuts, chops, cuts, and stabs...

The complicated sword techniques turned into the simplest ones, and the gorgeous sword moves turned into the simplest ones. Gradually, the world seemed to lose its color, and only the swordsman in the courtyard and that extremely simple sword remained...

Ji Xiaoshan put away the sword in his hand.

"Today, I have almost perfected the skill of this sword." Ji Xiaoshan looked up at the sky.

"Dong dong!"

At this moment, a maid dressed in animal skins knocked on the gate outside the courtyard.

"Young master, my master asked me to invite you over." When the animal skin maid saw the door open, she asked for permission, stepped into the courtyard and said to Ji Xiaoshan.

The maid was someone Ji Xiaoshan had seen at Ji Yichuan's place when he first came to the West Mansion, so she asked softly, "Why did your uncle ask you to come? Could it be that my cousin has been born?"

"Yes, the lady gave birth to a little boy."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Ji Xiaoshan nodded slightly, turned around and closed the gate of the yard.

Today is the day when Ji Ning is born. Ji Yichuan had asked an experienced midwife to calculate the time of the child's birth a month ago, and Ji Yichuan and his wife were also prepared for it.

And as a guest of Ji's West Mansion, he can now go and visit.

……

When Ji Xiaoshan was led into the yard by a maid, he saw a man in white fur, holding a baby wrapped in animal skin, and saying something to the big snow-white dog.

"Uncle, this must be my cousin!" Ji Xiaoshan walked forward with a smile, his eyes fell on Ji Yichuan's arms.

The baby was wrapped in soft fur, with a delicate face and lively eyes, and he didn't cry or make a fuss. When Ji Xiaoshan approached, his eyes quietly shifted from the big white dog to him.

Ji Xiaoshan looked carefully and saw that the baby's black and white eyes were full of curiosity about the new world.

"Yes, this is my newborn baby, Ning'er."

"Ji Ning? Quiet and far-reaching. This name is very appropriate for my uncle!" Ji Xiaoshan congratulated with a serious face.

"This... is something that you, Xiaoshan, are laughing at. I was just thinking that no matter whether his future life will be dull or exciting, no matter whether he is weak or strong, he must keep a calm heart!" There was a rare sacredness on Ji Yichuan's face, which was a father's earnest message to his son who was given a new life.

"That's why I named him Ji Ning."

"Uncle, can I hold the baby?" Ji Xiaoshan asked cautiously. In his two lifetimes, this was the first time he tried to hold a baby.

"Then you try it." Ji Yichuan didn't say much, and directly handed Ji Ning, who was wrapped in animal skin, to him from his arms.

"This child is so pretty and doesn't cry or make a fuss." Ji Xiaoshan praised.

Although this child was injured in the womb and had some congenital deficiencies, he inherited Yuchi Xue's looks and Ji Yichuan's coldness. In addition, he ate a lot of spiritual materials and treasures, so his foundation is quite good.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the little guy carefully and indeed saw his shadow reflected in those smart eyes.

"Seeing how you dote on my cousin today makes me feel as if I saw my father who loved me so much twenty years ago." Ji Xiaoshan said as he handed the little guy in his arms to Ji Yichuan's arms.

It was the first time in my two lifetimes that I held the little one in my arms, and I still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Today, I witnessed the birth of Ji Ning's cousin. I am here to say goodbye to my uncle. I am preparing to leave Yanshan to venture out to the outside world. When I return, I will bring back a gift for my cousin." Ji Xiaoshan said solemnly, bowing gently to Ji Yichuan. "Thank you for your hospitality during this period of time."

"Xiaoshan, we are family, so we shouldn't have different opinions. I should have advised you to stay for a few more days, but it seems that you are very determined to leave these days, so I won't stop you. There are many opportunities outside, but also great dangers. You still need to be cautious in everything." Ji Yichuan said.

"Yes! Uncle, I understand." Ji Xiaoshan understood. He also knew that Ji Yichuan and his wife had experienced a life-and-death crisis some time ago. They finally escaped death and fled back to the Ji family... He also knew that Ji Yichuan said this out of his love for the younger generation in the clan.

After the two talked, Ji Xiaoshan took a deep look at the baby wrapped in fur and sleeping in Ji Yichuan's arms, then turned and left.

"My nephew is not simple at all!" Ji Yichuan thought about the young man in black robe and was amazed during his time in Xifu.

"Oh, is there anything special about this young master from the Northern Mansion?" the big white dog beside him asked doubtfully.

"My nephew, let alone other things, his cultivation level is a little hard for me to figure out. I heard some time ago that he failed to break the mirror and damaged his soul. It seems that the rumor is wrong! I guess he must have succeeded in breaking through." Ji Yichuan shook his head.

"Since the establishment of my Ji clan, I have never heard of many Purple Mansion cultivators who are only twenty years old in history."
