Jian Jinge nodded, looking past him towards the door, and said lightly to the person outside, "Come in."

007 was about to speak but swallowed the words back.

It flew around its owner and half climbed on her shoulder.

Xiao Si's silver-white pupils flickered slightly, and his silver-white furry tail flicked left and right a few times before he quietly circled behind 007.

Then he wrapped 007 around himself, covered its tail with his pointed tail, and while it was confused, he threw it out of the window.

Qin Zimo looked at the disappeared 007, and then glanced at Xiao Si who thought he had done it perfectly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Finally, he glanced at the head of the household who pretended not to notice its little tricks and indulged the little fellow's mischief.

silence.

Just at this moment, Ji Wanxue and Ji Wanbai, brother and sister, came in from outside.

The moment they entered the house, their eyes immediately locked onto the black-clothed, black-haired, black-eyed master of the household who was sitting upright on the sofa.

Ji Wanxue's eyes lit up. She placed her right hand on her chest, bowed solemnly, and said with a hint of excitement, "Master, I'm glad to see you."

Ji Wanbai stood beside her sister, moved in sync with her, and called out for help. However, compared to her sister's joy at seeing the head of the family, besides excitement and curiosity, he felt more worried and uneasy.

After all, the head of the family's brother disappeared, and his sister was the only one who came back alive.

Although he believed that the head of the family was not the kind of devil who would kill without blinking an eye, the one who disappeared was his brother, the only person the head of the family cared about. Ji Wanbai could not guarantee that the head of the family would not vent his anger on him or punish his sister in anger.

This is why he asked to come along when he learned that the owner wanted to meet his sister.

Jian Jinge put down the two cute babies in his arms, and the moment he stood up, he approached Ji Wanxue directly.

The sword blade, with its icy cold edge, cut through the void, bringing out the sound of a fierce struggle.

Ji Wanxue's pupils shrank slightly, and the smile on her face froze in place at this sudden change. Fear surged uncontrollably into her eyes, and her muscles tensed up.

The blood seemed to freeze at this moment.

Every cell in her body was clamoring for her to get away quickly, but her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, completely ignoring her commands.

At this moment, in her vision, there was only the indifferent face of the head of the family and his pair of dark and deep black eyes.

It is like a bottomless cold pond, icy and deep.

Ji Wanbai, who was standing by, saw this scene and his blood ran cold instantly. But he could only watch helplessly.

No, to be precise, he didn't see when the head of the family took action at all, and didn't catch the trajectory of her actions at all!

His body's instinctive fear prompted him to subconsciously shout out two words!

"do not want!"

With this sound, the sword in Jian Jinge's hand stopped just an inch away from Ji Wanxue's neck, and his sharp gaze stared directly into her eyes.

Half a second later.

With a slight movement of his wrist, the sword in his palm turned into stars.

His palm was facing upwards, with a bulb of garlic lying on it. When he spoke, his tone was neither happy nor sad, "Eat it!"

Ji Wanxue's lips trembled. Upon hearing this, her eyes subconsciously fell on the palm of her hand. Her instinctive desire to survive made her grab the garlic even though her rationality had not yet fully recovered.

Without hesitation, I ate it.

Jian Jinge curled her fingers slightly and was quiet for a second. She said, "You can peel the garlic before eating it!"

Ji Wanxue's expression froze for a moment. Her cheeks felt a little hot for a moment, and her throat choked because of the taste of garlic. She swallowed hard and said carefully after a while, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient. I'll peel it next time."

Jian Jinge hummed softly, tilted her head slightly, and glanced at Ji Wanbai beside her.

This glance froze the emotions on his face.

Ji Wanxue was anxious, and instinctively took a step to the side, protecting her only brother behind her, and then pulled him and knelt down on one knee.

"Master, it is my fault that I did not discipline my younger brother strictly enough, and I let him offend you. Please punish me."

Jian Jinge didn't say anything. The sweat on Ji Wanxue's forehead kept flowing, and the tension in her eyes became tangible in this quiet atmosphere.

"Are these siblings also members of the Ling family army?" Jian Jinge asked, not to Ji Wanxue's siblings, but to 007 who had just crawled back.

007 glanced at his master again and again, complainingly.

I really want to snort stubbornly, shake my butt and walk away,

But...it doesn't dare.

007's anger lasted only a second. He instantly became listless and said weakly, "Yes, Master, they just passed the reserve!"

Upon hearing this, Jian Jinge's face showed no emotion. He looked down at Ji Wanbai and said calmly, "The look you gave me just now is enough to sentence me to death!"

Ji Wanxue panicked and pleaded, "Please, Master, spare his life. My brother was just worried about me, and didn't mean to kill you!"

Jian Jinge checked the information of the siblings, their past words and deeds, and their experiences when they entered the Ling Family Army assessment.

After thinking for a moment, he gave the siblings a choice, "Only one of you can stay in the Ling Family Army today. You will be transferred from the official Ling Family Army to the reserve and re-evaluated."

Ji Wanxue's face turned pale in an instant, and her lips trembled.

Ji Wanbai pursed his lips, clenched his fists, raised his head stubbornly, and looked at her, "She is my sister. I can't remain indifferent knowing that she is in danger. I am right!"

"As far as your sister is concerned, you're indeed right, but..." Jian Jinge paused slightly, his expression cold as he spoke word by word, "But as far as I'm concerned, you've violated my taboo!"

"The Ling Family Army is my people and can only recognize me as their master. No matter what decision I make, you can only trust and obey unconditionally.

And I provide you with resources that no one else has, not to cultivate an ungrateful person for myself in the end,

If you can't put aside all unnecessary thoughts and emotions, and can't stand firmly by my side, then what use do I have for you?"

Ji Wanbai opened his mouth, but Ji Wanxue knew she had to make a choice. She glanced back at her brother and said firmly, "Master, I'm withdrawing from the Ling Family Army. Please allow my brother to stay."

She knew very well that her brother admired Ling Jiajun.

At the same time, she knew better that the choice the patriarch gave them at this moment was already very generous.

Just as the patriarch said, the family army must trust him unconditionally, stand firmly by his side, and obey every decision made by him.

But my younger brother, as the head of the family's imperial guard, just wanted to kill the family he was protecting for the sake of his relative.

This is a taboo!

Even she, in the face of life and death crisis, actually wanted to resist in her heart.

"Sister!" Ji Wanbai shouted.

Ji Wanxue shook her head at him, her eyes even more stern.

"Okay." Jian Jinge sat back on the sofa and said lightly.

Xiaobao climbed back into her arms, pouted, pointed at Ji Wanxue, and hummed, "Sister Jin Ge gave you a chance to choose because you protected Brother Xiao Xingxing a few days ago.

In addition, it was indeed Sister Jin Ge who made the first move just now, so your reaction was reasonable and expected.

However, what you are doing is seriously inconsistent with the requirements of the Ling family army.

If he does this again next time, there’s no need for Sister Jin Ge to take action. I’ll be the first one to not let him off, hehe!”

Ji Wanxue lowered her head in shame, but thinking of her brother's wish, she didn't ask her brother to withdraw from the Ling family army.

Qin Zimo watched the whole process without saying anything.

However, he also agreed with Xiaobao's words in his heart. This pair of siblings had a deep relationship and were not suitable to join the Ling family army.

Just as the atmosphere fell silent, Jian Jinge got straight to the point and said, "Ji Wanxue, what happened that day? Tell us in detail."
