The Jeon family.

Wearing the elegant expression that she once had in the past, Taehee patted her son on the shoulder. Her urge to smile simply could not be suppressed at such a moment. "My dearest son, you..."

She was about to praise Jungkook but she choked up at the last minute. It was impossible to speak, so she just kept on patting his shoulder.

Jungkook was one head taller than his mother. However, to make her life slightly easier, he bent over slightly. His icy-cold expression warmed up rather significantly when he saw her start to tear up.

"And I thought that I wouldn't live to see such a day." Taehee let out a long sigh. She blinked multiple times, in an attempt to hold her tears back. She then muttered to Jungkook, "Have you contacted Aunt Tang?"

"I gave her a call when I came back," replied Jungkook.

He cared an awful lot about this matter, which was why he called her personally when they were still on the helicopter.

Taehee nodded. "You should have let me call her first. But we still have time left. I'll call Jihyun immediately." It wasn't even seconds after she said this that her phone, which was still in her pocket, rang. She pulled it out and lo and behold, it was Jihyun calling.

While speaking on the phone, she went downstairs, where Lisa and Joowon were chatting away. Joowon, who usually had the same, icy-cold demeanor as Jungkook was now a transformed man. His expression had softened up quite a bit, with a subtle hint of glee on his face.

The four of them proceeded to the border of the ancient martial arts world to welcome the Tang family. Trailing behind them of course was the butler as well as Jiji.

"Jiji, what about that eagle that came back with you? Where has it gone?" The butler was elated by the occasion, which reminded him of the eagle that perched on Jiji's head just now. It was nowhere to be seen now. He knew, just by looking at it that there was something special about that bird. In fact, there's a chance that like Lisa, an uproar would occur should it be let off into the ancient martial arts world.

Jiji shook its head. "Uncle Butler, I've thrown that eagle back to Peace Manor. I'm guessing it's now battling Xixi to death."

The butler was relieved when he heard Jiji speak about it so casually. Silently, they continued their journey forward.

It wasn't just the Jeon family who had come forth to welcome the Tang family. There was also the current patriarch of the Tang family, Tang Wenbo, who was already standing at the border, stroking his long white beard with a tranquil expression. His other hand, however, was tightly clasped, perhaps out of anxiousness.

Behind him stood the juniors of the Tang family. In addition to Taehyung, both Chanyeol and Sehun were present too.

Their eyes lit up the moment they saw Lisa. "Uncle Jeon, Auntie Shu, Brother Jeon and," There was a brief pause when he turned towards Lisa, before he continued in a more laid-back tone. "You've... come, Lili."

Taehyung's sudden change in tone invited Jungkook's attention. He was about to ask her about something when he abruptly changed the topic. It was at that point that he would wear an odd expression when looking at Lisa.

It wasn't just him that reacted this way. Of those who came over, they would first start with greeting Joowon, the man of the family, before shifting their attention over to Lisa and Jungkook. More specifically, their eyes were on that shining bright ring she was wearing. It was as if someone had sewn their mouths shut the moment their eyes came across this ring.

Ever since their return, news of their marriage spread like wildfire around the ancient martial arts world. Taehyung was initially skeptical about it, until he received the phone call from Jihyun.
