The sign-in system hit me and took my country away

Chapter 410: Ji Family Gate

"Well, we will organize a magic competition in the future so that everyone can have the opportunity to demonstrate their magic frequently, and this will also allow more attention to the practice of magic." Nangong Jingming said with a smile. He felt that this idea could not only stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for practicing magic, but also enhance communication and competition among each other.

"Well, fighting is still necessary." Su Siyi nodded affirmatively, with a gleam of approval in her eyes.

Everyone rested well at the Xin Li family for a day, and the next day, Ji Mei led the others to stride towards the Ji family. Their steps were firm and powerful, as if they were carrying an unstoppable momentum.

At the gate of Ji Family City, Ji Mei and a group of people appeared. They chose not to sneak in stealthily, but stood before the crowd. Su Siyi looked at the number of people around her and felt that they were a little small. With a thought, she directly brought out those who were practicing in the space. In an instant, the team grew stronger.

The gatekeepers at the city gate had already noticed their group. Seeing their aggressive appearance, they couldn't help but feel a little worried, thinking that they had come with bad intentions. They immediately sent someone to inform the head of the family, and then quickly stepped forward to stop Ji Mei and his group.

"Who are you? This is the Ji family city!" The gatekeeper said nervously, holding a weapon, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"Let your master come out!" Ji Mei's voice was steady and firm, carrying an unquestionable aura, as if she was the master of this place. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing a firm determination, staring directly at the defenders in front of her, as if to tell them that her request could not be refused.

"Who are you? Can you see our Patriarch just because you want to?" The city guard looked Ji Mei and his group up and down with disdain on his face and eyes full of contempt. In his eyes, these people were just a bunch of ignorant people. To even dream of seeing the almighty Patriarch Ji was simply a pipe dream.

"Tell him that Ji Mei is back, and he'll come out." Ji Mei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. She knew that her name must have a special meaning to Ji Lin. After all, she was abandoned by the Ji family back then, and only they knew the grudges and entanglements. Now, she has returned with confidence, and those who once wanted to rob her things should pay the price. As for the fake things she gave away, she wanted to see if Ji Lin had discovered the trick.

"You go in and report first, I'll keep watch." A city guard said to another person, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, always paying attention to every move of Ji Mei and others.

"Well, I will come back as quickly as possible." Another city guard nodded, turned around and ran quickly into the city.

Not long after, Ji Lin hurried out with a group of people. His pace was a little hurried, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. When he saw Ji Mei, a trace of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes. Although Ji Mei was no longer young, he recognized her as his daughter at a glance. However, what made him feel incredible was that Ji Mei still maintained such a youthful state. Shouldn't she be an old woman? How come she is younger than him now?

Normally, it is normal for him to be younger than his father, but she is an ordinary person and he is a cultivator, so she should look older than him.

"Why are you back?" Ji Lin frowned and looked at Ji Mei with a puzzled look on his face. In his mind, Ji Mei should have been living an ordinary life outside. How could she suddenly appear here, and bring so many people with her?

"Master Ji, you're not welcoming me!" Ji Mei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, but her eyes were filled with mockery. She looked at the father who had given her life but showed no regard for her, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart. He gave birth to her, but didn't love her. How could such a father deserve her respect?

"You are no longer a member of the Ji family, so naturally you are not welcome!" Ji Lin said bluntly, his tone filled with indifference and determination. In his view, Ji Mei was a worthless person who could not cultivate, of no value to the Ji family, and had long been considered a disgrace to the family. Since he had already expelled her from the Ji family, there was no reason to accept her back.

"Then I'm curious. Since I'm no longer a member of the Ji family, what gives you the right to send people to steal my things? Is this how the head of the Ji family takes things by force?" Ji Mei's eyes suddenly became sharp. She stared straight at Ji Lin, her eyes filled with anger and questioning. She looked at Ji Lin fearlessly, as if she wanted to release all the grievances and resentment that had accumulated in her heart over the years.

"What are you talking about?" Ji Lin's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly regained his composure and pretended to be completely clueless. How could he admit that he had sent people to rob Ji Mei's things? If such a thing were to get out, his reputation as the head of the Ji family would be ruined.

"Master Ji, you dare not admit it!" Ji Mei sneered, the contempt in her eyes growing stronger. She looked at the Master Ji, who appeared to be so righteous in front of others, with disgust. In her eyes, Ji Lin was nothing but a hypocritical villain, appearing to be a gentleman on the surface, but actually doing shameful things behind the scenes.

"You rebellious girl, how dare you talk to me like that!" Ji Lin was a little irritated by Ji Mei's look. He glared at Ji Mei angrily and shouted. In his opinion, a daughter should be respectful to her father, and Ji Mei's current attitude was undoubtedly a challenge to his authority.

"I just said that I'm not a member of the Ji family, so how could I be your rebellious daughter!" Ji Mei retorted without showing any weakness, her tone full of sarcasm. She would not be intimidated by Ji Lin's momentum. Now that she was back, she wanted to seek justice for herself.

"You, you're fine. How did you get in with so many people?" Ji Lin was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he still suppressed his anger and tried to calm himself down. He knew that the most important thing now was to find out how Ji Mei entered the world of cultivation. This was not a place that ordinary people could easily enter.

"I just walked in!" Ji Mei had a smiling face, as if she was watching a joke. She deliberately teased Ji Lin, and seeing his angry look, she felt extremely happy.

"Impossible! Tell me, what are you doing here at the Ji family?" Ji Lin couldn't hold it in any longer and asked directly. His eyes revealed a hint of urgency, wanting to know Ji Mei's intentions as soon as possible.
