The cultivation in this world was very different from what JiYuan occasionally read in some novels.

There was no division of levels or cultivation ranks. In order to judge who is weak and who is strong, then one could only get into a fight to determine it themselves.

System said while sighing, "Very barbaric, very arrogant, don't stir up trouble, you are as weak as a chicken."

JiYuan sneered and patted the sword 'Gui Chi', "Precious sword in my hand, I....."

In a tone not salty but not mild either, System said, "Ye Junchi's sword can only suppress demons and ghosts. You better hide and conceal it. Otherwise, if people see that famous sword in your hand, you won't be able to clear your name, even if you jump into the Yellow River."

JiYuan swallowed the words he was going to say, then skillfully nodded, "Many thanks for the reminder."

At this moment, JiYuan had left the palace using Gui Chi's power. He lighted a small campfire when he stopped to rest. It has been 3 days since he left the palace but he didn't see any demon soldiers pursuing him nor Ye Junchi chasing him for his sword. JiYuan looked up at the night sky, and the more him thought of it, the more it didn't seem right.

"System, why do you think Ye Junchi still hasn't come to retrieve his sword?"

System easily diverted the topic.

"You should worry about the task on how to get back to Ji House. The owner of the body grew up in Ji House. If you get little inattentive you might cause yourself your demise. You should know the consequence for OOC, right?"

JiYuan immediately withered. These few days while JiYuan was running away, he learned about overall information about this world. At first he only knew that the person who forced a marriage on him was Young Master Zhao from the Zhao family, one of the four major families in the cultivation world. Now he also knew that the Zhao Family was very proficient in covering up their shortcomings. Plus they were also good brothers with the alliance of martial practitioners. He heard that when Ye Junchi kidnapped the original body, he gave that little bastard Zhao a kick. Since the Zhao family couldn't retaliate against Ye Junchi, then they would definitely release their anger on Ji family instead.

System comforted him, "Don't fret. Your mother comes from one of the four major families, the Jiang family."

JiYuan's heart gave a cheer.

System : "Although after she died from a difficult birth, Jiang family didn't bother with Ji family anymore...."

JiYuan : "....."

System softly whispered, "Although Jiang family and Ji family are archenemies....."

.....

The days for Ji family were most probably not very good. JiYuan poked the fire heap with a dark expression. He poked out something charred, looking like the surface of Mars. The flame was reflected in that pair of pale-colored eyes, and the frozen cold face looked livelier. He is not an idiot, he knew that returning back to Ji family was not a good choice – being taken away by the demon lord for more than 10 days, wouldn't returning back makes him a fallen woman (not virgin)? The direction that the situation was heading to was not good, plus the little bastard Zhao probably will come and stir trouble....

No wonder Ye Junchi said staying inside the palace was the safest option.

'***'

JiYuan rushed back to the small town which the Ji House was located.The sky had turned dark, the glow from the sunset was scattered on the ground, being cut off by the shadows of the uneven heights from the houses and trees. Painting the scenery in a desolate tone. Getting a friendly tips from System, JiYuan wore a large bamboo hat before walking into the city. He found the town atmosphere was quite cold and empty. People on the street were walking in hurried steps, looking like they were afraid that the moment they stopped moving, they would get into trouble.
