"Li...Little Lin, are they talking to you?" Ren Lan asked softly.

"If there's no one else around, it should be me," Lin Jichen replied with a smile, then cupped his fists towards Ji Chen and Ji Tongyin.

"You're too kind. May I ask, are you leading the expedition against the demonic sect this time?"

Ji Chen nodded. "My sister was hunted by demonic cultivators. When my father, the emperor, found out, he was furious and appointed me as the commander of this eastern expedition, along with my sister Tongyin, to eradicate the demonic sect."
